00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: That's always fun as well. But Martin, this is a

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 5: big game for both teams.

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: Again.

43
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 5: Both teams are, you know, fighting for their playoff lives.

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 5: The Lions spen a weird street season for them where

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 5: if you just you know they've played well at and

46
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 5: you thought, okay, this is who they are, But then

47
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: they've had a couple of games they shouldn't lost, the

48
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 5: most notably, in my opinion, that Vikings game.

49
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: They shouldn't have lost that one halful of weeks ago.

50
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: Now they find themselves seven and five on the outside

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 5: looking in. You got the Cowboys at six five and one,

52
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 5: remember that tie with the Packers. But they've been playing

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 5: really well as of late, especially the offense, and the

54
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 5: players they acquired in that trade have been producing thus far.

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 5: Quinn Williams being on an example of that so big

56
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 5: game that I kick off about five point fifteen, will

57
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 5: watch it and keep you updated. But one of the

58
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 5: bigger conversations a couple of ways going about this game,

59
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: Mark I'll start here, is Dak Prescott and how he's

60
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 5: kind of been reminding folks that without the playoff success,

61
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 5: if we were just to simply look at regular seasons,

62
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott has been a really good quarterback. Right Dak

63
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: Prescott's put up stats Dak Prescott had prior to last

64
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 5: season when he was hurt, CD was hurt early, a

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 5: bunch of defenders, defensive players were hurt. They had three

66
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 5: seasons of twelve and five, which does lead to the

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 5: criticism of well, why don't you guys ball out in

68
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: the playoffs? You've been twelve and five. The expectations are high.

69
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 5: A couple of seasons back. Dak is an MVP candidate,

70
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 5: you know, so he's been doing this, and I think

71
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 5: that's why sometimes people can be critical of him, is

72
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 5: because you want more that expectations are high. But now

73
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 5: you look at this season and a lot of conversations,

74
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 5: of course, are is he MVP candidate?

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: Look at him sixty nine percent complete completion percentage.

76
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: You got thirty two hundred yards, twenty five touchdowns, only

77
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: eight interceptions, rating of one hundred and two point four.

78
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: So he's falling out.

79
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 5: And to me, Martin, I think, unfortunately for any star

80
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: athlete on a team in any sport sands for maybe baseball,

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: it is ultimately going to come down to that win loss,

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 5: and it's going to come down to the team play.

83
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 5: And I say that to say because it reminds me

84
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 5: of he's playing great, he's balling out. But am I

85
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: not looking at the same season I was looking at

86
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 5: last year, maybe lesser than than Joe Burrow, And it's

87
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 5: the same you know, where Joe Burrow was balling out

88
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 5: of control. But we were sitting here saying, man, but

89
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 5: look at the team. You know, oh man, look at

90
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: the team. They're not winning enough. They only got this.

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 5: They're looking at their barely five hundred and.

92
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: Seventy almost seventy one percent completion percentage.

93
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 5: Almost five thousand yards for Joe Burrow, forty three touchdowns,

94
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 5: nine interceptions in a ratio of one hundred and eight

95
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 5: point five. So to me, while Dak has looked very impressive,

96
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: the team's been good and fun to watch, I mean

97
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: he's not even on the pace of what Joe Burrow was.

98
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 5: And again, it's gonna come down to how they finished.

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 5: And I mean it can't be you know, they're six

100
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 5: five and one, so they can't end this season like

101
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 5: you know, nine, what would be ninety seven and one

102
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 5: or something like nine six and.

103
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: One.

104
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it can't be that to me.

105
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 5: Because then that to me get I go look back

106
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 5: at Joe Burrow had an even better year and what

107
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: they finished was it eight nine to nine?

108
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I got you. So that only way for Dak Prescott

109
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: to win the MVP is for the Cowboys from this

110
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: point on to the end of the season to not

111
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: lose another game. Because the only way for Dak Prescott

112
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: to win the MVP is they had to make the playoffs,

113
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: and at this point, the outcome of I think tonight

114
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: is the first playoff game of the year. Whoever loses

115
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: this game, I agree, you can no longer talk about

116
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: them as viable playoff contenders, so that Dak MVP dream

117
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: might die four quarters from today, right for four quarters

118
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: from right now. I now, if in fact the Cowboys

119
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: go on a streak, which I'll continue their streak, I

120
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: should say they've been on. They've had the best three

121
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: games in the probably the best two to three games

122
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: stretch that we've seen of any team in the NFL,

123
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: just in terms of what they've put on tape in

124
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: this last three weeks, right like for a three week period,

125
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: obviously not the throughout the whole season. I thought it

126
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: was laughable that the Cowboys went toldal was so low

127
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: because Dak Prescott has been a guy when he has

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: been healthy. I believe, outside of his rookie you know,

129
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: even his rookie side of the second year, he's double

130
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: digit wins. If he's healthy, he's gonna get you to

131
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: double digit wins. So I thought a lot of that

132
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: was overblown. I think this team would be better with

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons on it, obviously, But George Pickens coming over

134
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: to Dallas. I saw a report yesterday out of the

135
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Athletic everybody from Pittsburgh is speculating, all the unnamed sources

136
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh speculate the reason why George Pickens is doing

137
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: well in Dallas right now is because there's no quarterback.

138
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: There's quarterback stability, there's no quarterback question marks, there's no issues.

139
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: We know who the guy is and we're confident in

140
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: that guy. And sure enough, George Pickens, like many other

141
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: people who are very, very successful at their jobs, want

142
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: to know that the people around them are going to

143
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: allow them to do to be that level of successful

144
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: at their jobs. For me, this is a like I

145
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: said before playoffs start today, loser leaves town type match.

146
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: I think I've not hurt anybody today, nationally or otherwise.

147
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: Pick the Lions to win this game. I'm not about

148
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: to be the first to do so, although I do

149
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: think it should be a close one and a hard

150
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: fought matchup. I just think what Dallas is doing offensively,

151
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: plus the end season moves, make this team feel really

152
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: really good right now, and especially as they are turning

153
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: the corner. And Sean Merriman just said it, this is

154
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: when you really start playing your best ball. This is

155
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: illusion least time match again. But I think it's mainly

156
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: because the two teams. The three teams ahead of them,

157
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: the Bears, Packers for the Lions, and then the Eagles

158
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: for the for the Cowboys. I think that the Eagles have.

159
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Of those three, the Eagles are the only one that

160
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: have a real chance of falling apart.

161
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 5: We well the Bears too in that they got a

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 5: tough role. Let they play the Lions, the Packers twice.

163
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 5: Who else I have to pull it up, but they

164
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: got a tough row ahead. I think it's one more

165
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 5: tough one as well. Maybe it's the forty nine ers,

166
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 5: but they got it.

167
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Even still, even if they go five hundred, they'll still

168
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: be ahead of the Lions wild card, they'll be ahead

169
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: of you know these other things.

170
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: You talk about. Another playoff game.

171
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: That last game between the Bears and the Lions could

172
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: be huge too. I'll add some extra motivation that you know,

173
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys lost their falling teammate Marshawn Neeland, who passed

174
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: away last month. You know, that could add some extra

175
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 5: motivation into And I find it funny. George Piggins is balling,

176
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 5: which we already knew he was talented. But to your point,

177
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: I read that same article and they're talking about, you know,

178
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 5: is the stability with Dak and it's funny, what is

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 5: okay when either you're playing well or we are playing well.

180
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: What I mean by that is if you read into.

181
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: That the exactly where you're going.

182
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 5: One of the issues that he had in Dallas was, man,

183
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 5: he just shows up ladies not always you know, necessarily

184
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: paying attention.

185
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: With Pittsburgh, well.

186
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 5: If you read same things happened in Dallas, they've been

187
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: finding them and everything they had to find them.

188
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: That's how ladies been.

189
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 5: But Dagan, when you're balling and we win in it,

190
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 5: we see that you're a key key cagging this thing.

191
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: We got to shot to turn and see a round.

192
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 5: It's a little bit different, right, Well, he's just a

193
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: little lady little look, you know, a little tardiness.

194
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: Ain't never did nothing nobody, you know.

195
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that different. I think the difference

196
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: is is what is valued in different places? Right, So

197
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: like I'll equate this to something language that we both

198
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: speak and nobody else does. SOLF sorry Insight radio, but

199
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: no TV. Right you might have a great producer who

200
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: simply can't spell, right man, right now, what I'm saying

201
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: all types of great ideas. Somebody that can sit there

202
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: and fill your run down out. They will have you

203
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: with the highest rated opening segment every single day as

204
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: long as you listen to them. But you do not

205
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: let them write a single thing that goes on to

206
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: TV because they're gonna spell two with three to zeros, right,

207
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, like you just don't do it because they

208
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: can't spell. They can't They the typeos don't work for them.

209
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: They don't see it all though, correct is a fail.

210
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Do you fire that guy or girl or do you

211
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: put that guy or girl in a position where they

212
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: could do what their best at and minimize the things

213
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: that they're going to struggle with. I'm not saying that

214
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: they never have to write anything. I'm just saying that

215
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: somebody else is gonna check up on it. So I'm

216
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: not saying George Pickens is always on time. I'm saying, though,

217
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: maybe Georgia and maybe we give Georgia five minute window.

218
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: Maybe we give Georgia five mint window.

219
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe that's okay, but I'll tell you what, but

220
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: you know, that's a great example. And listen to somebody

221
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: who reads a teleproblem there every single day. Brother, Trust me,

222
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 5: when they start doing certain things, they'll put the dash

223
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 5: in between us. They got me talking about us. I'm

224
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 5: talking about us. It's supposed to be US. I'm like,

225
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 5: it's today today in the US, in.

226
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: The US US World Report.

227
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 5: Yes, in the US period. So trust me, I know

228
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: all about it. You ain't lying about that. But I

229
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: still think instead of six five and one, if they

230
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 5: were one five, you know, one in seven or something

231
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 5: like that or whatever it would be, then you know,

232
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 5: third three and eight or whatever, we'd been sitting here

233
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 5: like man joy, if only he took it serious, if

234
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: only he was locked in. He's got the talent, so

235
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: you know, but you're right. They look they know they're

236
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 5: trying to win something. They don't want to waste the

237
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: window of DAK and CD and all this. So if

238
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 5: he if Bruh's gonna miss they talked about, you know, Martin,

239
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: he might miss a few team buses.

240
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: You might miss a few team buses.

241
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: He's not miss a buster he's got uber money right,

242
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 5: he might miss a bust that I was cracking up

243
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: when I've read that. But so I see what the

244
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: Cowboys do. I want to I'll go to the other

245
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 5: side of this a little bit. With the Lions. The

246
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: thing that has been a little frustrating watching them, I

247
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 5: start to feel like they're they're looking so big picture,

248
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 5: they're forgetting the small things, and it's almost like you

249
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 5: gotta take care of this in order to get to that, right.

250
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: They the way they've handled some games by day I

251
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 5: mean Dan Campbell, but on down they've handled it like, oh,

252
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 5: we're nine and one, don't worry about that game. And

253
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 5: it's like, no, you're creating bad habits that could affect

254
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 5: you later ultimately affect you getting in Avian in the playoffs,

255
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 5: but let alone affect you in the play And we've

256
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: talked about it.

257
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: I think even you and I have talked about it.

258
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 5: Rob and I have talked about it. Just because you

259
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 5: usually do doesn't mean you have to. And their approach

260
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 5: to well, we won't punt here, we won't kick a

261
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 5: field goal here, we'll go for here, or we'll screw

262
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: the fact that we're on the on side of the ball.

263
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: That's just not situational.

264
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 5: And that, to me, Martin has come back to possibly

265
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: hunt them with a couple of games or a couple

266
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 5: of moments here where they could have stolen a game

267
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: or not given one away if they had played better

268
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 5: contextualized football or situational football. And that does worry me

269
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 5: obviously as a Lions fan, that let's say they sneak

270
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 5: in getting the postseason. Did you learn from San Francisco

271
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 5: or is this this whole This is just what we do.

272
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: This is just who we are.

273
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 5: It's okay to evolve, it's okay to be situational. And

274
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 5: that is one of the things that worries me. And

275
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 5: you know, I say this last point because I read

276
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: a whole thing. Dan Campbell still mad about two years

277
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 5: ago when they lost in Dallas and the skipper play

278
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 5: or he caught the I haven't caught the past two

279
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 5: point conversions should have won the game.

280
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: Then they did it again, Then they did it again,

281
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: and uh, they were talking about how this still haunts them.

282
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 5: They're still mad about it, but that's who we are

283
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: and blah blah blah, And I'm like, man, don't find

284
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 5: yourself in another situation because they had lost this season

285
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 5: before that to Dallas in a weird kind of way,

286
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 5: they thought they should have had it. I'm like, don't

287
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 5: find yourself in a situation against an offensively good team

288
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 5: like this where you're giving them extra possessions, you're giving

289
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 5: them the ball, where you're you're leaving points on the

290
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 5: on the field. That will drive me crazy if that

291
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 5: is something I find that the Lions are doing today, Martin, So.

292
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: I would say this, I I've decided I'm good with

293
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: the going for it. There only been one time really

294
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: in the entirety of the Dan Campbell era that I

295
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, you gotta you gotta chill, And that

296
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: was the Eagles game. We were sixteen to nine. It's like,

297
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: it's a you're a it's a one score game, dude,

298
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and you go for five on fourth down?

299
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, Like, all right, we

300
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: have we have pushed this to critical mass. But I

301
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: do not have an issue with the with the Lions

302
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: going for it game plan wise, game script. I'm good

303
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: with everything Detroit does. I mean that's wholeheartedly, because I

304
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: think the bigger issue in Detroit has been the issue

305
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: of the last two seasons, they have no depth because

306
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: they're always hurt. And I get it that people will

307
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: will will point and say, you know, everybody gets hurting football,

308
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. I hear you. But also,

309
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: there's gotta be something that you're doing fundamentally that is

310
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: causing all of these cluster injuries. Whether it's it's the

311
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: way you, the way they're working, something about that has

312
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: to be fundamentally changed. And I think it's the same

313
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: thing as San Francisco. I think it's these.

314
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 5: These oh you took the words out my mouth, these

315
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 5: teams that are built on real being very physical and

316
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 5: all of that.

317
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: I get it, and I but I just think it

318
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: takes you. You have to scale it back just a

319
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: bit because you guys got to be ready on Sunday, Monday,

320
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: and Thursday. And I think that's the biggest that has

321
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: been the biggest issue for the Lions across the board.

322
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: They win in the playoffs last year, if they are

323
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: not starting eleven new players on defense.

324
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 5: Dude, I had to screen that to Rob Parker every

325
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: day against Washington. I'm like, dude, he was like, he

326
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: kept playing Jared Goff and I said, despite Jared Goff's turnovers.

327
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: You're right, he was terrible, fake four or five turnovers

328
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: in that game.

329
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: They were right there, yes, And I said their defense

330
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 5: was there and not making jayde and Daniels look like

331
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 5: the return of you know, Joe Montana or something, or

332
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 5: Doug Williams in the Super Bowl. If you want to

333
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 5: keep it in with the you know, Washington the community,

334
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: I'm like, they win that game, and so mad was

335
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 5: a whole thing was that team's defensively, especially on the

336
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 5: injuries on the defensive side.

337
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: The ball has cost him so much.

338
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 5: And now what I'm in Ron Saint Brown, you know,

339
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 5: banged up, we'll know, we'll see what he looks like.

340
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: And then Laporta out as well. But they're gonna have

341
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 5: to find a way to push through because let me

342
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 5: tell you what, the league. Ain't nobody feeling sorry for him,

343
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: but this is this is gonna be an interesting game.

344
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: Obviously the Lions favorite three and a half. But to

345
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: your point, seems like everybody signed with the Cowboys. Only

346
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: thing I'll say about the Cowboys, Martin, or at least

347
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 5: another thing, A couple of those games they did pull off,

348
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 5: they didn't look they didn't look great. Against the Eagles,

349
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: they had a great was the second half, you know

350
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: what I mean, they weren't rolling like that.

351
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: So it's about four minutes into this, four minutes left

352
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, things kind of you can feel.

353
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, So there is an element of me that's like, Okay,

354
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 5: they've looked good offensively. Their defense hasn't been as great

355
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 5: as maybe people got excited about because they've made a

356
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: few plays here there, and I start to wonder, like,

357
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: all right, are we hyping them up just a little bit.

358
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: So if I'm the Lions, I'm saying it ain't that good,

359
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: you know.

360
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 5: But they're gonna have to figure out something. I was

361
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: listening to all the football talking head talking about the Lions.

362
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 5: They're not gonna be able to play as much man.

363
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 5: They play man defense seventy percent of the time, and

364
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 5: against that receiving corps man that offense with Dak, you're

365
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: gonna have to mix it up.

366
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to give them different looks.

367
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 5: So Kelvin Sheppard, the defensive coordinator for the Lions, this

368
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: might be his most important, biggest game of the season

369
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 5: because they're gonna have to give this defense. The Cowboys

370
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 5: offense they're gonna have to make them see things differently.

371
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 5: Eight and hutcheson and the guys are gonna have to

372
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: get in there because if you just let Dak sit

373
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 5: back with CD on one side and GP.

374
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: On the other, it's gonna be a long game for

375
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: the line's secondary.

376
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't matter what time the bust left. George

377
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: Pickles will be on time for the game. He go

378
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: be at the game. He'll be practice, Rack. We talked

379
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: about practice. He might not be there all right. Eight

Speaker 5: sneaky dark horse for MVP, and you got a game

444
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 5: in which both teams are operating for sure, like it's

445
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 5: a playoff game. They have to have this one. Who

446

Speaker 5: you're on with the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.

450
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: What's up, Drew?

451
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 6: Hey, Galvin, I think that Doc definitely has a chance

452
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 6: of winning the Super Well, how are winning an MVP? However,

453
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 6: I think that I'm rooting for Stafford to win because

454
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 6: if he wins it, he's in the He's locked himself

455
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 6: in for the Hall of Fame. And I don't think

456
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 6: anybody with the Super Bowl ring and an MVP has

457
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 6: ever not made the Hall of Fame, which can be

458
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 6: interesting for Rob to react.

459
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: No, he'll find away.

460
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 5: Come on, Drew, you know he'll find a way to

461
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 5: say no, all those numbers don't count. He was stating

462
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: the pad whatever he calls it, Matthew stat.

463
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: Pat he had yeah.

464
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well no, don't bring up Lamar because you know

465
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 5: he'll find something else, But Matthew Stafford, I do agree,

466
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 5: and thank you for the call.

467
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: Drew.

468
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 5: I don't know where you are, Martin, I said, as

469
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 5: much as you know, I'm a Lions fan. I don't

470
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 5: think he has to be in like for some reason

471
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: he just retired tomorrow.

472
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, he doesn't have to be. I'm not one

473
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: of those people.

474
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 5: Yes, he's been amazingly talented, probably more talented than a

475
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 5: lot of quarterbacks that are even in there. But I

476
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 5: also say there's still some things to be done, and

477
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 5: MVP would absolutely help. Maybe another deep playoff run, maybe

478
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 5: if he gets to Super Bowl, maybe if he doesn't

479
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 5: even win it. But just to say, you know, okay,

480
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 5: he went to a couple one to one things like

481
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 5: that can help. I don't think it's a he has

482
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 5: to be in right now.

483
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: And I think when we like the list came out

484
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: just recently, if not today, like only five guys get

485
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: in a one time. Dude, it's the hardest place to

486
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: get into. You could say that there are people that

487
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: have had Hall of Fame worthy careers who are not

488
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: in it, and that's where the oh no comes from

489
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: out of me, Like Matt Stafford is great, but he's

490
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: just is he the greatest of this generation?

491
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 5: I know, no, man, So I think he's still still

492
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 5: some room left to be done between you know, today

493
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 5: and obviously the end of his career. He has another

494
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 5: DP playoff run, maybe gets the NFC Championship game balls out.

495
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: He's an MVP.

496
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 5: All right, that's another you know, a little thing on

497
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 5: a feather in his cap, and then one more season

498
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 5: like that.

499
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: Maybe he's in.

500
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: All right, I'll take another callers, go to Andrew and Shytown. Andrew,

501

Speaker 1: Doing doing well? Hope you're doing on that polar vortex

508
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: out there. It is miserable Tago.

509
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 7: Right now it is twelve, but it feels like minus

510
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 7: five from what I saw on my phone, So it

511
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 7: is just beautiful.

512
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go next week.

513
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 7: Are you free? Are you coming?

514
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? I go there about once once a month for work.

515
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 7: Bro Yo. I met up with Rob earlier in the

516
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 7: summer at the White Tax Game. If you're here, definitely

517
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: hit me up. I'm on Twitter twelve, Coltiano five to nine.

518
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 7: Rob falls me as well. I'd love to take you

519
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 7: to a columb restaurant or just anything.

520
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: Man at negative five, I'm not I might have to

521
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: catch you in March, but just hit me on Twitter.

522
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 1: We'll get in touch. What's your what's your call? And

523
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: do I got you?

524
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 8: Uh?

525
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 7: So I think with this take. To be honest, I

526
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 7: know Dan Campbell hasn't lost the back to back game

527
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 7: since I think what yes, yeah, I think Detroit might

528
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 7: take this. But man, I've always said, uh, Dak is overrated,

529
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 7: but he's proven me wrong. And I think the way

530
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 7: that I was hearing him, just like Jerry did that

531
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 7: whole trade for now, So I feel like they're finally

532
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 7: getting the engine running. So I hate to say because

533
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 7: I want Detroit to pull through, but I think this

534
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 7: game is going to be an upset.

535
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: I get your point, because I mean that's impressive.

536
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 5: They haven't lost back to back and was it twelve

537
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 5: or thirteen losses?

538
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: Now the Lions haven't lost back to back games.

539
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: They have lost three or five. So they've lost one

540
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: one one lost one one one?

541
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: Stay focused, okay, have backed back?

542
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 6: Spit true.

543
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: Anybody asks for Martiny spin troop over.

544
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 5: There, man, So I get the you know, they come

545
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 5: in and maybe it's a little bit of a lift.

546
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: That they got. I'm in rodd S brown back.

547
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 5: You know, obviously I don't think he's gonna be able

548
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 5: to do what he normally does, but maybe that's a

549
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 5: little inspiration right there. You know, we'll see. So we'll

550
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: get some more from that game in just a little bit.

551
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: We got Tim Brando joining us on the other side

552
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 5: of trending Monci Belanos right now, what is trending?

553
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

554
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 9: All right, guys. We've got Week fourteen of the NFL

555
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 9: officially underway, and it is a tie game in Detroit.

556
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 9: Both teams hit a field goal on their opening drive,

557
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 9: so it's still early in the first quarter here. Doc

558
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 9: Prescott is three of five for twenty five yards. Jared

559
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 9: Goff is three of four for thirty seven yards. But

560
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 9: Jamier Gibbs, who's on my fantasy so that's why I

561
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 9: care about. He's got two carries for seventeen yards and

562
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 9: one catch for twenty six yards to start the game,

563
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 9: so not too shabby. Other NFL news, Eagles defensive tackle

564
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 9: Jayalen Carter is out for Monday Nights game against the

565
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 9: Chargers undergoing a procedure this past Monday on both his shoulders.

566
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 9: When it comes to Justin Herbert, he was listed as

567
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 9: a limited participant in today's practice. Commanders did upgrade Jade

568
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 9: and Daniels to a full participant in today's practice, so

569
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 9: he's trending in the right direction to start Sunday at Minnesota.

570
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 9: No practice today for Ravens quarterback though Lamar Jackson and

571
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 9: Raiders defensive end Max Crosby went from being a limited

572
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 9: participant in Wednesday's practice to not participating today due to

573
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 9: a knee injury. Las Vegas hosts Denver four Week fourteen.

574
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 9: When it comes to the NBA tyrese, Maxi has twenty

575
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 9: seven points in the seventy six Ers lead the Warriors

576
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 9: seventy one to fifty three, Celtics on top of the

577
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 9: Wizards eighty one to seventy both of these games.

578
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: Late in the third quarter, the Lakers are playing.

579
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 9: Without Luka Thancic, but they're leading the Raptors sixty one

580
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 9: to fifty late in the second quarter. Late in the

581
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 9: first quarter, where the Timberwolves have a twenty nine to

582
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 9: twenty six lead over the Pelicans, there is no top

583
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 9: twenty five college action in men's college hoops.

584
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: But Doug Gottlieb's team.

585
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 9: Is playing and they're up right now on Robert Morris

586
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 9: sixty sixty sixty one with about six minutes.

587
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: To go in the game.

588
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 9: So come on, coach Doug Gottlieb. When it comes to

589
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 9: the NHL, the Rangers have a three to one lead

590
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 9: over the Senators late in the second period. Penguins are

591
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 9: shutting out the Lightning three zero halfway through the second period,

592
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 9: and the Islanders have a forty two lead over the Avalanche,

593
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 9: also halfway through the second period.

594
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right.

595
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: Monzi, looking, Rob's at the Lions game right now.

596
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 5: I don't know what mark which one is worse for him,

597
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 5: Doug's team winning or the Lions winning.

598
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: If they both have today, Rob, he might not make

599
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: it back. That trip to Mexico might actually have it.

600
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: That might actually happen right there, thank you, Monci.

601
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: I think they're four and five right now, all right,

602
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you teams. Rob Parker hating teams right around

603
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: five hundred dos time for him.

604
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 9: They are four and five, all right.

605
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: I'm not mad at him.

606
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 5: We had three three right now, thank you, Monci. Three

607
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 5: to three right now in this Thursday night football game,

608
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 5: Cowboys have the ball. Will continue to keep you updated

609
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 5: on that, expecting to get Tim Brandle.

610
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: Hopefully we'll get them here in a moment.

611
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: But again going to this game, man, the Lions, definitely

612
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 5: the ball is in their hands. As far as the

613
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 5: rest of the rest of the stretch of the season,

614
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 5: you got the Minnesota Vikings, who obviously at this point

615
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 5: you should be able to beat.

616
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: Now I'm giving up. It's gonna be a difficult game.

617
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 5: We saw the Panthers beat the Rams, but you got

618
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 5: the Rams left coming down the pike.

619
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: You got the forty nine ers. Is gonna be a

620
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: tough one as well.

621
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 5: And of course this game, I think I might be

622
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 5: missing one more. But the Lion, it's right there for

623
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 5: them to still sneak back in this thing, Martin. But again,

624
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 5: it's gonna come down to starting tonight for them and

625
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 5: how well they can you know, if they can get

626
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 5: this thing going, and then all of a sudden, I

627
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 5: figure the most they can lose, and that have to

628
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 5: even be an optimistic circumstances as what to be ten

629
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 5: and seven, and maybe someone in your favor I.

630
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: Don't think a team. I think the NFC cards decided

631
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: with six losses. I don't think either one of these

632
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: teams can afford to lose another two games. Outside of

633
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 1: like that, whoever loses this one obviously is gonna lose it.

634
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: They can't lose again for the rest of the year.

635
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: If I think if they lose two more games, realistically

636
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: it's done for unless again, like I said a minute ago,

637
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: you see the I mean collapse of the Eagles, a

638
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: collapse of the Packers or Bears, right, because it's gonna

639
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: have to take a monumental type of thing for these

640
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: guys to win the division. I like the Cowboys chances

641
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: better than the better than the Lions at this point.

642
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 5: If you're a the Lion's just looking at the schedule

643
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 5: for them. You win this one, it gets tough because

644
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 5: the next week they'll be here in La taking on

645
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 5: the Rams.

646
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: Which I'm trying to get to that game.

647
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: But then after that, you got it.

648
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 5: It's not easy, but it's doable. You host the Steelers,

649
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 5: which aren't a great team. Who knows where they'll be

650
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 5: in You know that'll be two.

651
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: Weeks from now.

652
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 5: You will go to Minnesota, which again that's beatable on

653
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 5: Christmas Day, that should be you know, fit and you

654
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 5: ended in Chicago as we were just talking about, there's

655
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 5: gonna be cold de tech out there.

656
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: Soldier States, Soldier Field, Soldier stateum.

657
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: But you'll be playing the Bears, So that might be

658
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: it because you figure the Rams, let's say they lose

659
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 5: theirre because Ram is a really good team.

660
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: You lose if you you know, that could be the.

661
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 5: One that what you're referring to, the one loss, okay,

662
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 5: and it could end up being you beat the Bears,

663
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 5: you're in, you lose to the Bears January fourth game

664
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 5: to time to be determined as we get closer, but

665
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 5: that could ultimately be it right there for the Lions.

666
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: And the NFL tries to set these up like this, right,

667
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: That's why I like the Packers play the Bears Sunday

668
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: and then again Sunday after next, right, so they play

669
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: them right away and is trying to develop these the

670
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: high stakes who's gonna make the playoffs, whos gona miss

671
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs type of drama leading into it. So, yeah,

672
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, that's why it's set up like that.

673
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: In January, Like if you're a team like a Kansas City.

674
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: You love it generally historic passion because you're able to

675
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: get an extra day of rest for some of your

676
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: star players.

677
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 5: But right which could that could end up being huge

678
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 5: for the Lions too if the Bears end up wanting

679
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 5: to rest some guys and Thelion's like, shure, we'll take it,

680
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, We'll take it to have

681
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 5: an opportunity to win it.

00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: When you talk to him, We'll do well.

693
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 5: He probably knowing him. He might be even listening right

694
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 5: now in Detroit. What do you make of this game?

695
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: Too?

696
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 5: We were just talking about a do or die for

697
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 5: both of these do you think either of these teams

698
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 5: can afford to lose? We were saying another game after

699
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: this one? Is it the two losses for if you're

700
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 5: the Lion sit at seventy five? Or is this you

701
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 5: only get one loss the rest of this stretch for them?

702
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 8: I'll take it another step. I'll tell you that I

703
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 8: think if the Cowboys win this game, and really they

704
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 8: should personnel wise, I think they they can give Detroit

705
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 8: Secondary a lot of trouble with those two receivers if

706
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 8: Doc Dak is on. And ironically, i just left Detroit

707
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 8: the airport and I'm in East Lampton now for our

708
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 8: Saturday game between Duke and Michigan State on Fox. That's

709
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 8: new in eastern nine Pacific times. So a little shameless

710
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 8: plug there, but no, I think if the Cowboys win

711
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 8: this game and Philadelphia loses this weekend, I think the

712
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 8: Cowboys can win the division. I really believe that. I

713
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 8: think that those two victories and the one particularly against

714
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 8: Kansas City, they's got them riding high. I live in Shreeport, Louisiana.

715
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 8: That's my hometown. That's right on the Texas Arkansas Louisiana border.

716
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 8: Big Boys Penry I'm not a fan. I'm not a

717
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 8: fan of any NFL teams. Really. I did Saints preseason

718
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 8: games for a number of years as a Louisiana boy.

719
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 8: That was a lot of fun for me. But I

720
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 8: just believe that the Cowboys kind of found something and

721
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 8: if they can keep that mojo working. It all comes

722
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 8: back down to the offense. The defense is going to

723
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 8: yield some yards and give up some points, but that offense,

724
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 8: when it's cooking and it's been cooking, can be really,

725
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 8: really good. I think Philadelphia is vulnerable right now.

726
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: I do, Tim, I agree with you. I've been dancing

727
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: around that all show. But if you ask me the vibes,

728
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: I love the vibes in Dallas way more than the

729
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: vibes in Philly. But I got to ask you. I'm

730
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: an also the Louisiana boy have been listening to call

731
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: college football for a long time, So I got to

732
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: ask you, how do you feel about what Texas has

733
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: been doing this last week campaigning to get into the

734
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: college football Playoff. With the assertion that if we didn't

735
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: schedule Ohio State, and we had scheduled Northwest or Southeastern State,

736
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: we would have won that game was to losing, Ohio

737
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: State would only have two losses, ignoring the fact that

738
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: they lost to Florida.

739
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 8: Well, the brand name was city put on the college

740
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 8: football playoffs, and I remember telling people when we went

741
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 8: from four to twelve, everybody funck, well, this is the doctor.

742
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 8: Well no, it's only going to make it first. It's

743
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 8: all more people. And that's exactly what's happened. I mean

744
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 8: you talked about I mean, it's just insane to hear

745
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 8: under your chatz Arkansas ad that took over for the Baylor,

746
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 8: a d who had some issues off the field, a

747
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 8: spokesperson for the I mean, it's just a dumpster fund

748
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 8: the whole process and makes the seat and more that

749
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 8: Texas with the aid and a bad coming from the SEC.

750
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 8: They believe that this damn thing is an SEC complication. Okay.

751
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 8: They believe it's their divine right to play in everything

752
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 8: that's big in college football solely because they're a brand name. Right,

753
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 8: We're Alabama. Listen. I did thirty of my forty plus

754
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 8: years in this business at the SEC. I've got great

755
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 8: love and affection from my time center in the Southeastern complience.

756
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 8: But what's transpiring here and the level of brand bias

757
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 8: and SDC in particular bias being recognized by this committee

758
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 8: in lieu of what commission to frex. Thank you that

759
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 8: all of last year, after the SMU debacles took play

760
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 8: and they got in and Alabama didn't. They've all decided

761
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 8: that not only should the SEC get three teams, if

762
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 8: they should get five teams.

763
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 10: In maybe six Okay, so it's out of control when

764
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 10: you see teams like Texas Tech and BYU playing for

765
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 10: the Big twelfth title game this weekend, all right, when

766
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 10: you see that game and you recognize that if by

767
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 10: You loses that game, they got no shots, no shot,

768
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 10: they would only have two offers and it would be protective. Second, who,

769
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 10: in my opinion, is not only better than Texas, they're

770
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 10: better than Texas A and M.

771
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 8: They lost one game with a hurt quarterback in Arizona State.

772
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 8: The Big twelve and the has just been as competitive

773
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 8: as that we is. It has just shoved the side

774
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 8: because of the FBC.

775
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: Margin, The Big twelves marginalized like so the PAC twelve

776
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: was before it. I don't know what they're looking for

777
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: besides the a, AFC and NFC and college football. And

778
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous.

779
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: No, that's where we're headed.

780
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 8: I've never seen that many reasonably intelligent men look so stupid.

781
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 8: They look every Tuesday night. But that's theft show.

782
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 5: Well, Ti, Tim stay here for us, timberright on what

783
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 5: does Fox broadcaster on the OYE couple Kevin Washington Martin

784
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 5: and for brob Let me let me just stay here

785
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 5: with college football for a little bit.

786
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: Uh how much longer?

787
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 5: I mean, do you see a day where we get

788
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 5: to we talk about this all the time on our show,

789
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 5: where he's just gonna be twenty twenty five teams in

790
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 5: the Big ten, twenty twenty five in the SEC and

791
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 5: they essentially say, screw you in CAA. We're gonna do

792
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 5: it our own way, start our own big thing. I mean,

793
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 5: is that feasible? I mean, we're already paying players, we

794
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 5: already got a io, we're already doing this. We've got

795
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 5: transferred like essentially NFL light if you will, where it's

796
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 5: got its own thing.

797
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 8: Everything's on the table, fella, everything's on the table. But

798
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 8: the problem is the people that are governing these conferences.

799
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 8: And again, these are reasonably intelligent people, many of whom

800
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 8: I have great respect for. I work for Tony Petiti

801
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 8: for nine years at CBS. He's got very well liked

802
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 8: by the media because he's not as accessible to them

803
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 8: as thank he is. Thank you'll throw a press conference

804
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 8: in the middle of of the home Depot parking lot

805
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 8: in Birmingham, Okay, you'll talk to anybody, but the TV

806
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 8: doesn't do that. Okay, he's he's one of these leaders

807
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,479
Speaker 8: that has great ideas, but he doesn't want to share

808
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 8: them with anybody until it's time to announce the beal,

809
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 8: you know. But when they plow stuff up on the

810
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 8: wall as he did in the off season about earning

811
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 8: bids and going to sixteen and having automatic qualifiers. I'm

812
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 8: all in on the automatic qualifying. I think we need

813
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 8: to do that. But the problem in what you're talking

814
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 8: about is having, you know, two super conferences is I

815
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 8: don't know that you can get these leaders, either Sankei

816
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 8: or for TD certainly Brett your Mark and Jim Phillips,

817
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 8: the two commissions of the ACC and the Big Twelve.

818
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 8: They can't agree on anything. And then when push comes

819
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 8: to seffs, what do they all wind up saying when

820
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 8: they're talking about rev share and the NIL and the portal, Oh,

821
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 8: we need help from Congress rank God, anybody's thinking Congress

822
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 8: is going to have an answer what planet.

823
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: Channel watching? And we'll see that even in politics, it's just.

824
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 8: Hubris and egos too easily bruised. But we need to

825
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 8: blow this thing up and start all over again. And

826
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 8: we don't need the n c a A involved at all.

827
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 8: The NCAA that's one thing, right, the NCAA Men's basketball tournament,

828
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 8: that's it.

829
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 11: They's nothing out right, Tim, And they're facing bowl games.

830
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 11: They they give us portal dates that are terrible, They

831
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 11: give us national fining dates that are terrible, right in

832
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 11: the middle of the season, and they force that. They

833
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 11: do everything in their in their power to undermine college football,

834
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 11: not to help it, but to undermine it.

835
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 8: So we need them to hell out of it. You're
