Hopefully your team's won. 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: I I obviously owe some apologies this podcast. I think 16 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: one might start with a guy named Matt Eberflus. Has 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: gotta say his name right, Uh, that'll come up. I 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: think what I'm gonna do. Obviously we're always gonna talk 19 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: about the Sunday night game. Uh. I want to I 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: want to hit on Lamar Jackson and then I'm gonna 21 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: do something every Sunday called buy or sell, where I buy, uh, 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: buy takes that I like and sell takes that I 23 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: don't like. So I will things that takes a mind. 24 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: So something that I was right about I'm gonna buy 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: more of, and something that I was wrong about, like 26 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: obviously you know Eberflus. Uh not necessarily. I'm not changing 27 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: my overall opinion. Well we'll get into it later. But 28 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: I'll sell where uh where needs to be. I'm not. 29 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: I'll eat my humble pie, I'll eat micro I'm not. 30 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm not too stubborn. I don't care. I mean, I 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: just I just talk about sports for a living. This 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: isn't you know that big a deal if if you 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: can't admit where you were wrong. Um, you know, like 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: somehow I just bet on the Cowboys. I don't know 35 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: how I did that, but I made so much money 36 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: gambling on underdogs this weekend. Uh. And then Mike McCarthy, 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: So let's uh, let's go there first. And I want 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: to start with an apology. One. A lot of people 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: thought I was insane for taking the Carolina Panthers to 40 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: win the division. I don't feel as good about that. Now, 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a little different, even though you 42 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: know they almost won today. I owe Tom Brady an apology. Now. 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: I have a lot of other apologies we're gonna get 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: into later on the show, but I'm gonna start with Tom. 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: And I think one thing that people that are really 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: talented at whatever they do can do very well is compartmentalize. 47 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: And clearly, Tom Brady, it's not even arguable. I'm not 48 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: trying to guess what's going on. It's been well reported Giselle, 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: the family issues him disappearing, it was weird, Like we've 50 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: all been watching football. If you're thirty years old, you've 51 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: been watching football for twenty years. If you're four years old, 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: you've been watching football for thirty years. We all could say, like, 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: that's a little weird for the guy leaving, especially when 54 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: you factor in who it is. If Antonio Brown leaves 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: for a week, we're like, whatever, guy's a whack job, right, 56 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: it wouldn't even be that weird. Tom Brady like this 57 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: doesn't add up, And then he comes back and he 58 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: says it, And my take was things are getting really 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: weird with Tampa Bay right there, losing a bunch of 60 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: offensive linemen with injuries. But most importantly it's him. The 61 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: franchise was a clown show. Twelve straight years they didn't 62 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Tom Brady comes, they win the Super Bowl. 63 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Then the following year they host a playoff game in 64 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: the second round, which obviously lost to the Rams. But 65 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: he's the reason this franchise is having success. They've had 66 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: good players, They have good players. Now you put Tom 67 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: Brady with the franchise, they're big time. Now what I 68 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: underestimated that Tom Brady has handled the flight gate, spy gate, 69 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: a million things orchids of Asia with his owner. A 70 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: lot of weird things have happened in New England over 71 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: the years, right a lot. Yet he's never been phased. 72 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: But those were always football things, so it's easy for 73 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: him to to drown out the noise and stay focused 74 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: on the task at hand. It's a little bit different, 75 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: Like we're all human beings. We all have friends and 76 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: family that have had bad breakups or have had divorces, 77 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: and we've seen the impact. Now, maybe this guy is 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: just a cyborg in a robot because let's face it, 79 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: like C e O. S on Wall Street get divorced, 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, NFL head coaches get divorced. Bill Belichick got 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: a divorce. No one knew about it until he started 82 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: dating couber Linda. And there are certain people that are 83 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: able to just stay laser focused. However, that's humanly possible. 84 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: I know that's something I'm not great at. I get 85 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: easily distracted. I'm someone that if things are going on 86 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: in my life that aren't well on one side, it 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: affects the other side. Maybe Tom's just a robot because 88 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm watching that game today, going he's got a million 89 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: injuries to his offensive line. How early in the game 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: his starting left tackle gets hurt. I no way he looks. 91 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: And We've been saying over and over, I've never argued 92 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: that Tom was gonna fall off a cliff like Drew Brees, 93 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: like Ben Roethlisberger, or like Philip Rivers or hell Eli Manning. 94 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: His arm is not going. He is throwing balls now 95 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: at forty five years old. Didn't look better than balls 96 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: that he threw at It's incredible. Like it's not really 97 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: argue about TB twelve. It works what they say tonight, 98 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: he calls Julio Jones, get on t B twelve. Look 99 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: at Julio Jones. Julio Jones looks like it's two thousand 100 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: sixty and he's playing with Kyle Shannon, his offensive coordinator. 101 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: I mean TB twelve what my mom bought me the 102 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: book actually for Christmas. I use it in my condo 103 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, just has like, uh, just a 104 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: book sitting there on a shelf to look good. I've 105 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: never actually read it, but maybe I should because everyone 106 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: that uses it, whether it's the avocado ice cream, whether 107 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: it's the pliability stretches that ship works. It clearly works 108 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: with Tom. But I didn't. I didn't underestimate Tom's arm. 109 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: We've all been watching Tom long enough. His arm is unfazed. 110 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: I underestimated his just robotic nature of being completely unfazed 111 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: by anything going on at home. And honestly, I'm jealous 112 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: how he's able to have that laser focus, because that's 113 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: something we all aspire to have whatever we do to 114 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: just when we do our tasks, what at work, we're 115 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: professionally just to be locked in and laser focus. And 116 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: this guy is seven super Bowls, and this guy is 117 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: one of the most accomplished not just athletes, but human 118 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: beings we've ever seen in his field because of that 119 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: laser focus, and we've talked about it forever. We've give 120 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: him a lot of credit, and for the first time 121 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: I kind of I sorted it. I'm like, this is 122 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: gonna get him this time. And based on one game, 123 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: zero impact. Now you could argue the opponent, which will 124 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: dive into in a second, might not exactly be a 125 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: worthy foe. Uh, Dallas might suck. But I'm sorry Tom, 126 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry Tampa Bay. If I could redo my pick 127 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: to who's gonna win the NFC South, I think I 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: would take Tampa Bay now. Uh. Though I'm not totally 129 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: writing off the Carolina Panthers. I still believe that they 130 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: will be feisty and still have a chance to compete 131 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: for a wild card, especially because the NFC doesn't look 132 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: that great. But if Tampa, I mean, the defense is 133 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna be that good and Tom's gonna play like that. 134 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: Now we'll see does the offensive line eventually catch up. 135 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: You can only lose so many offensive lineman or maybe 136 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: Tom and it doesn't matter now. The Dallas Cowboys, like, 137 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: let's face it, the only reaction you can have after 138 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: that game is they stink. That is an embarrassing performance. 139 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: Now we all knew, and they even they mentioned on 140 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: the broadcast. The first question Mike McCarthy got during training 141 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: camp was about his job status. It was, Mike, do 142 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna be able to keep your job? Mike, 143 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: did you worry about being fired? So that is the 144 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: elephant in the room. It's one of the biggest talking 145 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: points in the NFL this seasons, Like, is Mike McCarthy 146 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: gonna last? Is Mike McCarthy gonna make the season? People like, well, 147 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: Jerry's pretty loyal. Jerry doesn't usually fire coach in the 148 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: middle of the season, which I tend to agree, but 149 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: this is a little different. Mike's not really one of 150 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: like Jason Garrett was one of his guys. Mike was 151 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: kind of this hired gun that pretended he watched all 152 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: these games and he had the Cowboys broken down and 153 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: then laughed about at his introductory press conference that he 154 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: actually didn't watch all the games. And then we're watching 155 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and we don't really know what he does. 156 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't call the offensive plays, he obviously has nothing 157 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: to do with the defense, and you just go you 158 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: have to think he's in trouble. And I've said from 159 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: a talent standpoint, just from a roster construction, they lost 160 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: a lot. So any time that you lose a lot 161 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: of players who are really good and we're a big 162 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: reason that you were a twelve or I'm pretty sure 163 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: they went twelve and five last year twelve and five 164 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: win team hosted the playoff game. A Mark Cooper was 165 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: a big deal for Dak Prescott, Like Mark Cooper was 166 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: really good for them. Hell, Cedric Wilson, who was on 167 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: their team last year was pretty damn good too. Randy 168 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Gregory had a pretty big impact as a pass rusher. Like, 169 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: you can only lose so many players, any factor in 170 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: le Collins is gone, Tyrone Smith gets hurt. Now you're 171 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: implementing a new, brand new starting left tackle who's a 172 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: rookie who, if anything, was gonna need some work. Like 173 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: they got a lot of moving parts right now. It 174 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: doesn't exactly feel like Mark McCarthy's, Belichick Parcels or waltch 175 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: in their primes. So I would say, first and foremost 176 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: their head coach, who was a major question mark coming 177 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: into the season, who I think we've been questioning now 178 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: for a couple of years you have to go now 179 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: that he doesn't really have a loaded gun like he 180 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: did last year, how is he gonna overcome this? How 181 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: is he going to get this team to the playoffs? 182 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: And then you factor in Let's let's start with Dak 183 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: Prescott before he hurt his finger, because as of recording this, 184 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Did he break his finger? Is he 185 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: out for a period of time? Was it just to 186 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: scare I don't know. As of recording this, I have 187 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: no clue. Here's what I do know, though, before he 188 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: got injured, he was terrible. You can do well. It 189 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: wasn't all yeah, we understand it's never all someone's fault, 190 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: but when it when it was on Dak Prescott to 191 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: make a play, when guys were getting blocked and guys 192 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: were open, he was bad. Now people have think that 193 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm some Dak Prescott hater. I'm not. I just think 194 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: at forty million dollars, little overvalued, not really feeling the 195 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: price point for the talent, though I've always valued the 196 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: human being. I think he's a super high level guy. 197 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: Root for the human being. But I will say this 198 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: that if he's gonna play like that and their team 199 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: is not as good, they had have no shot. It's 200 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: a little bit like the Green Bay Packers years ago 201 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: when they've had some you know, under man teams. Well, 202 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers so good he could rise above it. That 203 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: is not that Prescott. He is not that guy. Remember 204 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: what's the meme, You're not that guy, Pal. Well, he's 205 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: not that guy, Pal, And he's just not good enough 206 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: to put themselves in a position where they are going to, 207 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, win games in the sense of he needs surgery. 208 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: Just got a text, so let me let me update 209 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: this now, Dak Prescott will be out a while. According 210 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: to Jerry Jones, he needs surgery. Let's start with that. 211 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: That kind of represents the Cowboys right there. The guy 212 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: that's breaking the news is literally the owner in the 213 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: locker room. Like the whole organization is just not healthy now. 214 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: Dak being being hurt sucks, Like I don't want any 215 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks to get hurt. Whether I'm bullish on 216 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: him or whether I'm bearish on him. But uh, like 217 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: I said before he got injured, every Cowboy fan would 218 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: have to admit he's not playing with Michael Irvin, Amari Cooper, 219 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: and Dez Bryant. We all agree his best receiver, Ceedee Lamb, 220 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: who kind of felt like he was going through the 221 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: motions to night. Some other guys and I fall football 222 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: pretty closely. I literally watched fifteen hours of college football. 223 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: I don't even know who they are, but he was 224 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: not playing well. Now he's out for a while, it's 225 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: gonna be a problem. Like they're not Mike McCarthy's not 226 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: winning games with Cooper Rush. So what are they gonna do? 227 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, they're screwed. I was out 228 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: on Dallas to begin with. Now, I thought with a 229 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: healthy Dock they would still compete to make the playoffs. 230 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: Eight nine wins. I had the Eagles picked. Now, I mean, 231 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: this has a chance to be a complete Nutter disaster. 232 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: But let's start on the number one conversation that's gonna 233 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: happen moving forward. Will Sean Payton be the next head coach? 234 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna pound this drum over and over and over. 235 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that like I don't want Jerry Jones 236 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: to die, Okay, I want Jerry Jones to live on. 237 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: I want everyone to live I don't I don't want 238 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: anyone to lose their life. But until Jerry is removed 239 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: from the Cowboys, and that will not happen until he dies, 240 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Like he's not giving up power. Literally, Al Davis who 241 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. I heard Matt Mosley tell Colin Coward on 242 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: his podcast Jerry idolized Al Al ran the Raiders until 243 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: literally his dying days. That is going to be the 244 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: same thing with Jerry. I have a hard time envisioning. 245 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: Actually I can't see it. Sean Payton working for Jerry Jones. 246 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: Sean Payton is a guy that's fifteen million dollar plus 247 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: NFL head coach. Well, he also when you're fifteen to 248 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: twenty million dollar head coach, you're used to getting all 249 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: the juice when you read Kirby Smart and Dabblo Sweeney 250 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: and Nick Saban and all these coaches in college get 251 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: all this money. They also run the whole fucking program. Well, ultimately, 252 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: like anything that Andy Reid ultimately, anything that Sean McVeigh 253 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: or Kyle Shanahan ultimately want, they get. Well, you think 254 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: Sean Payton is gonna be like, yeah, Jerry, I'll come, 255 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I'll call the plays because you need a good play caller. 256 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: I'll coach these guys up, but I'll let you do 257 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: everything else. I'll let you pick the players. I'll let 258 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: you talk after every game like that's not happening. That's 259 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: not the way a healthy organization runs. Again, as an outsider, 260 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: I'm not a cowboy fan, just an NFL fan. I'm 261 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: a fan of all the characters. Jerry is a great character. Literally, 262 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: i'm recording a podcast. I get a text. The guy 263 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: that broke the news, not schefter, not rap sheet. It's 264 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones telling everyone that Dac needs surgery. That clearly 265 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: he you know, broke a finger or something. Right, something 266 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: happened to his hand, hopefully not his wrist, broke his finger, 267 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: and now they're in trouble. But they were in trouble 268 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: before Dak got hurt. But anytime you lose your starting quarterback, 269 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: they're screwed. You know, I hate to say it. The 270 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: season's over, you know, like it's it's over because you 271 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: were good enough to begin with. It's like Notre Dame 272 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: they lost to Marshall. There, the playoffs are done. Your 273 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: season's over. You're you're just trying to compete now if 274 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: you're Marcus Freeman to keep your job. If you're Mike McCarthy, 275 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: you know the difference is Mike, Mike uh or Marcus 276 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: Freeman could keep his job. How does Mike McCarthy keep 277 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: his job? Like if he goes eight nine, how are 278 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: they keeping him? Even if you tell me, well, back 279 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: this is a month and a half. I don't think 280 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: anyone's gonna care. People already wanted him gone to begin with. 281 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: So Tom Brady, who has destroyed a lot of careers, 282 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: think about the h the hamster wheel of coaching jobs 283 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: with the Jets, the Dolphins, and the Bills. For those 284 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: two decades that Tom was there just ruining careers. In 285 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: a weird way, it felt like he ruined Mike McCarthy's 286 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: career tonight came in fresh off a marriage he's holding 287 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: on due for dear life. Liked Tom has even focused 288 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: just destroys the Cowboys and now Dacks got who knows 289 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: what in his in his hand or finger. He's out. 290 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna be Mike screwed. Everyone's putting Sean Payton. Like 291 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: I said, I'm not going there yet. I'm just not. 292 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: I can't envision Sean Payton taking orders from Jerry now 293 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: as we've seen in Live Golf Money Talk ship walks. 294 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: So hell, maybe Jerry pays him thirty million dollars. He's like, hey, Jerry, 295 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: you picked the players, you talk in the locker room, 296 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: you pay me two million dollars a game, and we're 297 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: good to go. But uh, what a night, right? What 298 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: a great weekend of football? And that night just blew 299 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: everything away in terms of Tom dak being injured, McCarthy's 300 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: jobs already in the line.

I do, 334 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: but I also I'm gonna put my chest a little bit. 335 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: Wasn't wrong on everything, But really quickly, I want to 336 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: say something about Lamar Jackson. I think we talked about 337 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: it earlier in the week, but I'm adamant that he 338 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: made a insane businesses soon because that's ultimately what he's doing. 339 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: These athletes are the business right, most businesses, like, if 340 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: you and I start a company, whatever it is, the 341 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: likelihood that we could ever sell our company for a 342 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars is very unlikely. The percentage 343 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: of entrepreneurs that start things and ever sell their businesses 344 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: for nine figures is few and far between. Now, the 345 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: professional athletes, the percentage of these guys, you know, the 346 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: countless numbers, now make over a hundred million dollars. Obviously, 347 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks, some star wide receivers, NBA players, major 348 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: League Baseball players. That individual is an entity, and when 349 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: he's making decisions about his contract, he has to not 350 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: think about it necessarily from a football standpoint, if he's 351 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: on a good team and having success. He has to 352 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: think about it from a business standpoint. And I heard 353 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: Colins say this a while back, and I couldn't agree anymore. 354 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: Is that just because one business in any industry makes 355 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: a bad decision and sets a market price doesn't mean 356 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: that everyone follows them. If you live in a neighborhood 357 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: and you know, no different than last year when the 358 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: market was booming in the real estate market, or right 359 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: now is it's slowed down. Hopefully it slows down a 360 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 1: little bit more so we can make a good purchase, 361 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But if you live in 362 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: a neighborhood in your house, give or take, has been 363 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: selling for a million dollars, and someone in that same 364 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: neighborhood find someone to buy their house for four million dollars, 365 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: that does not mean that someone's gonna be willing to 366 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: buy your house for one million dollars. Because you may 367 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: be like, well, he just got four, I'll put mine 368 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: on the market for three eight, And no one comes remote, 369 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: no one offers you more than one four, And you're like, 370 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: what the hell, Well, just because this idiot, you know, 371 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: had Bill Gates cousin in his family and had unlimited money. 372 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: Does not mean you're getting that now. No one's ever 373 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: argued that Lamar Jackson is not an excellent player, an 374 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: excellent person and been a fantastic addition to the Ravens organization, 375 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: worthy of an m v P, worthy of a league superstar, dude, 376 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: just stud The league is lucky to have him. But 377 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens, as Chris Mortenson was tweeting, was offering him 378 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: more money at signing than guys like Kyler Murray and 379 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. And that's just the signing, the moment you 380 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: sign what is guaranteed immediately, the practical guarantees. We're talking 381 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: a hundred sixty a hundred and seventy million dollars. The 382 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: first clip I saw today, I didn't see any of 383 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: the game, but I saw the NFL basically tweet like, 384 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: good to have Lamar Jackson back, you know, run around 385 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: and it was a play of him, you know, one 386 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: of those classic like zone reed handoffs. He keeps and 387 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: gets tackled by like three guys, And I'm thinking to myself, Lamar, 388 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: you're making twenty three million dollars this year, which is 389 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: a shipload of money. The ninety nine point nine percent 390 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 1: of people would love to make that, but you have 391 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: to look at it from you are you are risking 392 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: over a hundred and ten million dollars today today because 393 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: the guaranteed at signing it was one thirty three. And 394 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: then when you factor in the practical guarantees, you're really 395 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: risking probably a hundred and forty and a hundred or 396 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty million dollars. And if you're gonna argue 397 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 1: and pound the chest about Deshaun Watson, no one's ever 398 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: given you that money. And you go, We'll wait till 399 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: I get the free agency. Well, you're three years away. 400 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: You're this year your fifth year option, you're your first 401 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: franchise year and your second franchise year. Like, you're not 402 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: a free agent. This, this is not the NBA next year. 403 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: You can't just walk and have five teams bidding on you, 404 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: which you would have, but that's not gonna happen now. 405 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: Mortenson said that the NFL p A recommended that he 406 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: take this tactic and play it out. That to me 407 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: is insanity. I would understand the logic a little if 408 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: he was a true pocket quarterback. But he's a running 409 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: player who constantly puts himself in compromising positions in terms 410 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: of injuries. And then just it's football. Even if you 411 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: are just a pure pocket quarterback, you could get injured. 412 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: I I listen, I hate don't wire you pocket watching. 413 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: This is not a pocket watch. This is just from 414 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: where I'm sitting, given how much money is on the line, 415 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: and just taking a logical view at this, I think 416 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: he's making a terrible decision. UH wanted to get in 417 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: really quick to buy and sell, and I'm just gonna 418 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: buy picks that, you know, opinions that I was right on, 419 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna sell and I'm gonna have some apologies here. 420 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: My first take that I'm not buying I would quadruple 421 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: down on. There is actually not a take that I 422 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: have in the in the National Football League that I 423 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: feel more confident about. And I'm gonna say it right now, 424 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say it over and over all season. 425 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: And they'll have their moments while their quote unquote shut 426 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: me up. And I'm not gonna just gloat because they 427 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: got absolutely curb stumped by the KANDACI Chiefs, who might 428 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: be one of the best teams who are one of 429 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league. But the Arizona Cardinals, 430 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: I'm right about this. Cliff Kingsbury has never been a 431 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: good coach. Yeah, he had a moment last year where 432 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: they got hot and they got a huge lead on 433 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: everyone else. They still blew the division the last week 434 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: of the Seattle Seahawks. I was at the Rams game 435 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: when the Rams lose, and up top it goes because 436 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks kicked their ass the the l A 437 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: Rams or the division champs, the Arizona Cardinals should have 438 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: cruise to the divisional championship. But this offseason, like, you 439 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: don't need to be some NFL analysts to realize things 440 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: were weird. The Kyler Murray thing was insane. They're running 441 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: back coach is involved in a domestic assault where he's 442 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: on a leave of absence for something that happened in 443 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: a grocery store. Their star wide receiver was going about 444 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty miles an hour in the desert 445 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: on the way to practice. Their coach just said after 446 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: the game today after they got destroyed. But you know 447 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: a team that literally has won like eighty games the 448 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: last four years. If you can't be locked in to 449 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: play the Chiefs, you might as well just do something 450 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: else for a living. That. We need to be more 451 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: focused at practice. This isn't a high school team. Hell, 452 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: this isn't a college. This is the National Football League, 453 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: and Cliff you're the coach. We need to be more 454 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: locked in at practice. Can you imagine Bill Walsh or 455 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: Bill belichicker Andy Reid say that one even if he 456 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: thought that, he would never say that, and too, he 457 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: controls that he's the head coach. But I'm out on 458 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: this organization. I'm out on this team. I'm out on 459 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: their core guys like J. J. Watt, who is an 460 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: uh integral part of their leadership, is always hurt and 461 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: his brother is too. That sucks, But I just I'm out. 462 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: And obviously today Kingsbury versus Andy Mahomes verse Kyler, like, 463 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: that's not a fair fight. And that was I'm in 464 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: Arizona right now. I watched the majority of that game 465 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: that the score was not even as close uh as 466 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: what I witnessed that that was they destroyed them. That's 467 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: the college equivalent of like seventy to forty no, no, 468 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: excuse me, seventy to twenty maybe I mean every single 469 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: time I looked up in homes, whoo whoo, whoo, whoo whoo, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. 470 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: That that was an ass kicking. Uh, I own an 471 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: apology and Bears fans, you guys are a proud franchise. 472 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: Who you know, I haven't done that much winning winning, 473 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: And I've been mispronouncing your coach's name, and I've said 474 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 1: the moment he wins a football game, I will know longer, 475 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: say Uberflus. His name is Matt Eberflus. And he didn't 476 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: just win today, he kicked Kyle Shanahan's ass. Now, ultimately 477 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: it was I didn't see every game today. I don't 478 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: think there were many games played in the weather. Today's 479 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: weather game was absurd. In Chicago one the field is 480 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: terrible and it never stopped raining. But both teams play 481 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: on those surfaces and justin Fields made a couple just 482 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: incredible plays. Uh. He made one touchdown past the uh 483 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: Dante Pettis where he like scrambled around throw it back 484 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: on his body. It was badass. Made another play later 485 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: in the game that they they outscored the Niners nineteen 486 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: straight points in the second half and listen if I 487 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: said all week long, the Niners are gonna kick their ass, 488 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: and they didn't just not win. They got handled in 489 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: the second half. Matt Eberflus hat tipped you on your 490 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: first victory. Now, I'm not changing my opinion on this team. 491 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears are gonna win that many games. 492 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: But regardless, I say it all the time, Black and 493 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: White League, we judge you on wins and losses. He's 494 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: want to know he beat the forty Niners where he 495 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: was a huge, huge underdog, uh for NFL standards. So 496 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: props to eber Flus, Props to Justin Fields, who you know, 497 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: we only completed eight balls, but did have some sweet plays. 498 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: And the difference right now like today of Justin Fields 499 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: and Trey Lance is Fields made some explosive plays. I mean, 500 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: Fields made some down the field plays, made some plays 501 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: with his legs. He uh yeah, he just he was 502 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: electric when they really needed it early in the game. 503 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: Pretty ugly, but as the game went on, you know, 504 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: props of the Bears want to know, enjoy it because 505 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: you know you guys are gonna lose some games. By 506 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy and I'm gonna buy more of this. 507 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 1: The New England Patriots are terrible. One of my takes was, 508 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure that Bill Belichick is gonna be back 509 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: next year. I actually feel better about that now. And 510 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Robert Kraft is gonna say Bill Belichick, 511 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: you're fired? Here are you're walking papers? It wouldn't happen 512 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: like that. There would be some sort of mutual agreement. 513 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: But it's weird. How are we even arguing this. It's 514 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: weird that their team this year feels worse than last year. 515 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: They play the Miami Dolphins, who granted they struggle against 516 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: that team, but they go down there and he takes 517 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: him down early. He goes on Tuesday because of the humidity. 518 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: At one point in time, I looked up and it 519 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 1: was I think it was twenty and nothing, and obviously 520 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: they lost twenty to seven. I've said over and over 521 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: and over again, and so have a lot of people. 522 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm not alone on this. This wasn't some original thought. Literally, 523 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: anyone with a brain that falls in the NFL has 524 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: this opinion. Having Matt Patricia be your offensive coordinator is insanity. 525 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: There is not another team in the league that could 526 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: do that without having a potential riot at their stadium, 527 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: having fans just screaming NonStop, having the owner be like, 528 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: what are we doing? It's it's nuts, It's it just 529 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: is and Bill is doing it. And I think it's 530 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: gonna cost him now, even if if he just would 531 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: have got a credible offensive coordinator, maybe it's the difference 532 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: in a couple more wins. I honestly, I think they're 533 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: headed to like a five win season, that they don't 534 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: have the talents. When I texted Buddy today in the NFL, 535 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: He's like, where do you see the players on the roster. 536 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't, they don't exist. Sell. I thought 537 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: that the hype on Minnesota and listen, Coward has been 538 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: leading it Collins like Minnesota twelve thirteen wins. I was like, 539 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't see it. Uh. And I 540 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: said over and over, I can't take them seriously until 541 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: they win a game like this. And I didn't pick 542 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: them to win this game. I didn't feel comfortable about 543 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: them winning this game. And I said the two teams 544 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: that had to win if they didn't want to have 545 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: a chance to win the division, where the Minnesota Vikings 546 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: and the almost said the San Diego Chargers the Los 547 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers, because if either one of those teams are 548 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: gonna win the division, you have to beat a division 549 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: rival at home. And we'll get into the Chargers probably 550 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 1: on Tuesday's podcast, but Minnesota whenever one. Justin Jefferson is 551 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: a remarkable, elite special player. Like you know, the good 552 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: part about pro sports Sometimes you watch a guy and 553 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: some people take a while, right, Davante Adams took a 554 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: couple of years before we realized, like Jesus, Steph Curry 555 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: took a little tit, Clay Thompson took a little time, 556 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: but something like Lebron you just boom. You know, there's 557 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: certain guys You're like, that looks a little Mike Trout. 558 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, I haven't seen that before. Justin Jefferson 559 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: was like, uh, remember Rady Moss when the Vikings drafted 560 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: him and he came out of Marshall and like halfway 561 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: through his rookie year, were like, I don't know if 562 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: we've ever seen this, and he went on to become 563 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: one of the best players ever. Like that kind of 564 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: feels like, Justin Jefferson, here's what I underestimated. I didn't 565 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: question their offense. I didn't. I didn't dispute that they 566 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: were gonna be able to score. They scored points last year. 567 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins was really good last year, like Justin Jefferson, 568 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: Adam thieland Dalvin Cook, uh Madison the Boise State running back. Like, 569 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: I was not worried about them scored. How are they 570 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: gonna play defense? Every time I looked up and Rogers 571 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: was just getting peppered. Guy, we're getting blasted. This was 572 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: the Minnesota defense that I remember early on in Zimmer's tenure, 573 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: when their defense now different players, but in terms of 574 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: the mentality and the mindset, just hitting people in the mouth. 575 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: And let's face it, when Green Bay Packers have been 576 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: hit in the mouth over the years. I I stole 577 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: this from Aaron Nageler on Twitter, but he's right when 578 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur's Green Bay Packers and this this goes back 579 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy as well, when they have been like, 580 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: let's get in the trenches and let's play a physical, 581 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: fucking game. Hardball used to take it to him back 582 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: in the day Seattle in the one NFC championship that 583 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: McCarthy blue. Clearly some of the games over the years, 584 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: Tampa a couple of years ago in the playoffs, the 585 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: Niners last year in the playoffs. Today, you just they 586 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: were kind of getting to a shoving match. And it 587 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: just sometimes feels that, I don't want to say Green Belt, 588 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: Green Bay, Wilts, but today it felt like they kind 589 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: of did. Now we saw last year when they got 590 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: blown out. I'm not writing off the Packers by any means. 591 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: I think that to me, I don't really have a 592 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: huge take on the Packers, but I do feel pretty 593 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: confident about Minnesota and I'll take the l there. I 594 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: did not expect them to look that good defensively by 595 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: and I even feel much better about this take today. 596 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: I've said over and over I think the Lions and 597 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: the Texans are gonna be feisty, and it wasn't because 598 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks. I don't I don't even know what 599 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: my reason will be with the Texans, but it just 600 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: feels like they're a much more buttoned up operation than 601 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: they used to be. Now, the Lions were down relatively big, 602 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: but as a buddy with the Eagles, text me's like, God, 603 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: they just kept fighting, no quitting them, And if you 604 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: watch Hard Knocks, that you kind of got that vibe like, 605 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're talented enough. You know, seven 606 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: wins is probably their ceiling. But I don't think they're 607 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: gonna tap out. You know, I'm not a big wrestler. 608 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: Did go to cal Poli with Chad Mendez. He was 609 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: a badass. He I saw make a lot of guys 610 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: tap out in the ring and at parties. Dude kicked 611 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: a lot of asks. I get why Dana White hired him, 612 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: But if you don't tap out in the NFL and 613 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: you don't quit like you have a chance. And then 614 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: the Texans, like they could have won that game. I mean, 615 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: they were in control. When I looked at the score early, 616 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: I was like, are the Colts gonna lose like twenty 617 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: to three? Are they gonna get blown out here? And 618 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: they ended up somehow, you know, going over time in 619 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: a tie. But both those teams I don't necessarily expect. 620 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: I definitely don't expect the Lions and same with the 621 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: Texans to be a wild card team or anything. But 622 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna upset some teams this season. They are because 623 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: they're tough. Uh. And then Sell I say, over and over, 624 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: I think the culture well run organization and in theory, 625 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: I do. They have a lot of good players. Uh, 626 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: they feel like a buttoned up in terms of just 627 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: talent at every position, but something's always off. Now I 628 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: get it, Frank doesn't win weak ones, but you're playing 629 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: the Texans, you're a huge favorite, and you're getting your 630 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: ass kicked early on. And I feel pretty good about 631 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, Like he all the players on the team, 632 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: He's drafted, he signed, he's picked up in waivers, and 633 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: they are all you know, it's well documented a lot 634 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: of Pro bowlers. I think I might be out on 635 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: Frank Reich, but Ballard, the way the Colts work is 636 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: like in charge. And who did I hear someone was 637 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: saying that last year or Stay not only wanted WinCE gone, 638 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: but he was thinking about fire and Frank and Chris 639 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: Ballard went to the went to the mat for Frank. Like, 640 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure Frank's any good because Frank gets annointed 641 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: like with a lot of the top offensive coaches, and 642 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, Like right now I would say, I 643 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm out, but I definitely have a 644 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: huge red flag next to Frank Reich. I do not 645 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: view him as like some big time coach. And that's 646 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: not just because of like one game, but like, look 647 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: at last year the Raiders and the Colt Raiders and 648 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: the Jags and this year the Texans. All off seasons 649 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: is about how it ended come back and tie to 650 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: the Texans, and honestly, you should have lost and then 651 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: last but not least a couple of college things. I 652 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: said it two weeks ago on the podcast when uh, 653 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: when Scott Frosty Nebraska they went to Ireland, they lost 654 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: to to papits Gerald and the Northwestern Wildcats. And it 655 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: wasn't just they lost and it was just the first 656 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: college week zero, it was how they lost. And I said, simply, 657 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: Scott Frost is not a good coach anymore. If you 658 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: use on your resume, we just lose a lot of 659 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: close games. Well, if that happens for one season, freak deal. 660 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: It happened one year with John Harball. If that happens 661 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: over your career, like, you're just not any good. My 662 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: analogy was, if you're a sales guy and you tell 663 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: me all the time how close you were to closing 664 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: a deal and you never do, You're just not a 665 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: good sales guy. Scott Frost was fired, and I think 666 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: anytime when you know, I say this whole time, when 667 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, you know, like when you know your coach sucks, 668 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: get rid of him, Mike McCarthy, when you know you 669 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: don't like her, break up with her. Right. How many 670 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: people do you know they get divorced that you hear 671 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: like you know, I should have done this five years ago. 672 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: I should have done this ten years ago. I've met 673 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: more or have like family friends and no friends that 674 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: have told me stories about people that are like six 675 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: years old, the happiest they've ever been, and they hung 676 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: on too long. And Nebraska had a chance to have 677 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: a clean break this offseason, but instead there like, let's 678 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: see if we can work it out. This is our guy. 679 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: He lost to fucking Georgian Georgia Southern and Clay Helton. 680 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: Think about that, Scott Frost and Nebraska lost to Clay Helton. 681 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: But how does that happen? I don't know. And then 682 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: the one thing I think I need to sell a 683 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm not gonna apologize to Steve Sarkis in 684 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: Texas because the only thing we're close counts is in 685 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: horseshoes and hand grenades and Ultimately, the point of the 686 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: game is not to cover the spread, which he did, 687 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: which is his greatest accomplishment ever. But as to win, 688 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,479 Speaker 1: I did say that Nick Saban and those guys would 689 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: kick his ass. And I think the one thing, and 690 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: I noticed this a lot in college football, is with 691 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: all the transfers, it disperses the talent pretty rapidly quickly. 692 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: So I do wonder. I said last week that I 693 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: thought Georgia and Saban were head and shoulders above everyone, 694 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: like Georgia actually might be. But I wonder if the 695 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: Alabama team, like they'll kind of be up. And I 696 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: mean last year now they're really good. They're still probably 697 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: the second best team in the country. But I do 698 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: wonder if the transfer portal and I've been I've been 699 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: saying about the college football playoffs that like, what's really 700 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: gonna change The best teams are gonna win in March madness, 701 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: that we get a ton of upsets. We're not gonna 702 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: get those in college football. But maybe because everyone can 703 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: transfer in quarterbacks are leaving. Forty quarterbacks that transferred this 704 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: year in Division one are starting, so that's kind of 705 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: changed the landscaped of of college football. So maybe I'll 706 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 1: sell my opinion that it's just a two horse race 707 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: and more teams can compete. Very very fun day Saturday, 708 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: that today was an excellent day if you like underdogs, 709 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: and going into tomorrow, I kind of like Seattle Audios piece. 710 00:36:44,080 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: Have a good night.
