00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be. I like to

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: thank the Colorado Buffaloes for participating in the twenty twenty

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: three college football season. Barring a miraculous comeback tonight against

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Washington State that could happen sure and following a perhaps

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: unlikely road win at Utah Saturday next Saturday, the twenty fifth, well,

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: the Buffaloes could end up one to eight in conference,

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: by the way, the Buffaloes ended up one an eight

15
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: in conference last year. But it all comes down to perspective,

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Because after they started out three to er

17
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: they were the hottest thing since Pepperoni pizza. People were

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: clamoring to get in. Not so much. It comes down

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: to perspective. If may ever heard the story of the

20
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: two brothers, brother one brother two. Brother one, well, he's

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: got a net worth of fifty thousand dollars. Brother two

22
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: has a networth of ten million dollars. After trading in

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: the market on Friday, Brother one makes ten thousand dollars

24
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: in the market. His network has increased to sixty thousand dollars.

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: He's ecstatic. Brother too has a rough day in the

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: market on Friday. He loses a million dollars. He now

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: has a networth of nine million dollars. He's depressed. How's

28
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: that work? Brother one has a networth of sixty thousand dollars.

29
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: He's ecstatic. Brother two has a networth of nine million dollars.

30
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: He's depressed. It's all about perspective. Take the Denver Broncos.

31
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: He's brother number one. They're four and five. After starting

32
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: out oh and three and one and four, they've won

33
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: three in a row. They're four and five. They beat

34
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: the Vikings on Sunday, which I expect them to do.

35
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: They're gonna be five and five. They're ecstatic. Take the

36
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, they're five and five. They're depressed. It's all

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: about perspective. And to add insult to injury, no pun intended.

38
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: We now find out that Joe Burrow will miss the

39
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: remainder of the season with the torn wrists ligament, making

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: him the second two hundred million dollar quarterback this week

41
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: to see his year cut short following Deshaun Watson's shoulder injury.

42
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: Add that up with achilles injuries that have sidelined Kirk

43
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: Cousins and Aaron Rodgers, as well as injuries to Anthony

44
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Richardson and Daniel Jones, well, nearly a quarter of the

45
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: NFL's week win starters have dealt with major setbacks. By

46
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: the way, the Buffalo We're gonna talk a little bit

47
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: later and show about the Buffalo Bills is too. It

48
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: comes down to perspective. Okay, they had what I would

49
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: consider to be an impressively bad loss earlier in the

50
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: week to the aforementioned Denver Broncos. By the way, how

51
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: the hell do you have twelve men on defense for

52
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: a freaking field goal? And what is wrong with Josh Allen?

53
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: You know the Bills are seriously in danger missing the playoffs.

54
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is a big reason why. Through a couple

55
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: of picks and Monday Nights twenty four to twenty two

56
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: loss to the Browns that gives him a lead leading

57
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: eleven interceptions this season. It's one of the top quarterbacks

58
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Buffalo's won the AFCs three years in

59
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: a row with an offensive ranked in the top three

60
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: and scoring this year or each of those years. But

61
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: this year the Bills, who have not lost more than

62
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: six games of the season since Alan's rookie year, They're

63
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: an underwhelming five and five with a really tough schedule ahead.

64
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: All comes down to perspective, which leads me to the

65
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: biggest story today in college football. The Michigan Wolverines will

66
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: take on the Maryland Terps in Maryland ten hours from

67
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: now without Jim Harbaugh on their sideline. So what happened. Well,

68
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: as I mentioned to you last week, there are three

69
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: types of injunctions. There's a permanent adjunction, temporary injunction, and

70
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: of course temporary restraining order, which is what Michigan filed

71
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: last week. The hearing would have been Friday, but on Thursday.

72
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: Michigan's lawyers, as I believe they would, took a hard

73
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: look at this and it was obvious to them that

74
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: they were not going to be able to meet their

75
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: burden to get the judge to uphold this temporary restraining order.

76
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: The burden involved two things. One that Michigan had a

77
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 2: fighting chance to really win this case, and two that

78
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: if Michigan didn't prevail with their decision to request a

79
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: temporary restraining order allowing Harball to stay on the field

80
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: for the final two games, then they would suffer irreparable damage.

81
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: But Michigan decided to demur. They back down, They dropped

82
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: their suit. Onward and upward. Harvall will will not be

83
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: on the sidelines for Michigan's final two games. And by

84
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: the way, make no mistake, and I've been on the

85
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: phone my Michigan peaks a lot this week. They think

86
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: they were going to beat Ohio State regardless of whether

87
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: or not Jim Harball's on the sidelines, and they're pretty

88
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: cocky about it. So we shall see what happens. That's

89
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: interesting is that had this temporary restraining order been upheld,

90
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: the case would have stayed open, the Big Ten would

91
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: continue digging. That might not have been good for Michigan.

92
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, it wouldn't have been good for Michigan.

93
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: The discovery process would have continued. And let me just

94
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: put this in Layman's terms. Based on what I know,

95
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: there's not a dot in my mind. Michigan would have

96
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: lost more by winning had this case stayed open. So

97
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: this is a strategic retreat. And by now you may

98
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: have heard of people like Uncle T or this coach

99
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: who allegedly has destroyed computer records or tried to and

100
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: Coach Partridge, the linebackers coach. He will not be with

101
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: the team anymore. He's been relieved of his duties. And

102
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: that has to do with the NCAA investigation, which is

103
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: still undergoing. They're still interviewing the coaches, and after that

104
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: investigation is finished well, the NCAA then will issue a

105
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: ninety day notice of allegation, as it were, which means

106
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: Michigan don't have ninety days after that to respond. This

107
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: thing's going to spill into the spring summer next year.

108
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: These things take forever. And in case you missed it,

109
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: the Big Ten has found they believe Michigan violated their

110
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: policy by quote conducted an impermissible in person scouting operation

111
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: over multiple years. And based on things that are coming

112
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: out now, Michigan's assertion that Connor Stallion's was some lone

113
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: wolf rogue, it's starting to be debunked quite a bit.

114
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: This story has legs it'll be the gift that keeps

115
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: on giving. So while not at a mission of guilt,

116
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: this has proved to me that Michigan would not have

117
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: prevailed on their tro they wouldn't have met their burden,

118
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: and they would not have been able to prove irreparable damage.

119
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: Maryland is a nineteen point underdog Saturday. You never know

120
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: it can happen, but the game will all be looking at.

121
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: Of course, is Michigan at Ohio State. And it bothers me.

122
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: It bothers a lot of people that Michigan continues to

123
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: play the victim and throw their hands up as as

124
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: if is some you know, this is no big deal.

125
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: I've reported on this objectively. I haven't really taken sides

126
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: on it. But let's let the season play out, because

127
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: Michigan's either going to advance to the playoff or they're not.

128
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: But I will boldly proclaim that I have mini shows

129
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: they're not going to win the national Championship. I'll give

130
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: it up to their gutty, gritty performance at Penn State,

131
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: who featured an offense that couldn't score a women's prison

132
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: with a fist full of fifties last week. But Michigan

133
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: did what they needed to do in the second half.

134
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: But you're going to run the ball thirty two times

135
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: in a row in twenty twenty three. Yeah, try that

136
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: against Georgia or even against Alabama, or even against Florida

137
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: State or Texas or any of those schools that actually

138
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: have an offense. This ain't over, folks, to quote Yogi Berra.

Speaker 6: Good to hear your voice on this fine Friday.

181
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I'm going to dive into some of these

182
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: conference clinching scenarios and get your thoughts because obviously one

183
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: of the Power five conference is going to get left

184
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: out only four teams get in. But I want to

185
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: start with a couple of quickies. Game Saturday, Penn State

186
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: Land I believe twenty twenty and a half against Rutgers.

187
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: Is that a dream crusher game? Would you look at

188
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: the Rutgers side at all?

189
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 6: I would certainly yeah, I would certainly lean the Rutgers side.

190
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: There.

191
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 6: Probably need twenty one to get significantly involved though, because

192
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 6: I mean, Rutgers did put up a zero spot against

193
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 6: and I would seem the Penn State beat by thirty one.

194
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 6: I hate uses a transitive property at college football, but

195
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 6: there's the reason why it's a significant point spread there.

196
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 6: I'm just worried you know, Penn State. What else is

197
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 6: there to play for other than pride. Rutgers is you

198
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 6: know eligible already. They've had a you know, a certainly

199
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 6: an above average season that they believe the lean Rutgers.

200
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: There fair enough in the other game. I have certainly

201
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: not fired on this game, Michigan laying nineteen at Maryland.

202
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: Of course, you've got Ohio State on deck. I certainly

203
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: am not implying that Michigan Michigan State's looking ahead the

204
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: classic Sandwich game. But that might be a lot of

205
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: points and that backdoor could stay open. Your thoughts.

206
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, Maryland's the right side. Maryland's the right side. And

207
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 6: you know, I wasn't there, But the last twenty four

208
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 6: hours says to me that we might be at the

209
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 6: point of no return. As far as the distractions from Michigan,

210
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 6: the Harbough suspended didn't really impact the points spread. Now

211
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 6: you just fired a linebackers coach. You mentioned that the

212
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 6: Sandwich spot of the entire year forgetting me, just Michigan.

213
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 6: Any team in college football you're offfense state, you have

214
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 6: the Buck guys on deck. Maryland is going to be

215
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 6: confident that they can play with Michigan because they only

216
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 6: lost by seven in the Big outs last year Maryland.

217
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 2: For me, Brad, I want to tap into your pression powers.

218
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh hey see what I did there? Hey? All right,

219
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: So let's look. There are five conference clinching scenarios, and

220
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: obviously there are only four teams that are going to

221
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: make And now we know there are currently five undefeated teams,

222
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: but because Michigan and House State are going to play

223
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: each other, right, most are could be four undefeated teams.

224
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: And if there are four undefeated teams, well maybe the

225
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: committee maybe their job becomes simple. But I want to

226
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 2: start in the ACC Florida State's clinch the spot in

227
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 2: their championship game. Now Louisville can secure a spot in

228
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 2: the title game if they win or North Carolina loses.

229
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Does Florida State and Louisville end up in

230
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: the a SEC title game? Does Florida State run the table? God?

231
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we're looking at Florida State Louisville because

232
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 6: I mean, right now, North Carolina is a seven and

233
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 6: a half point underdog to clems In, so I think

234
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 6: they at the very least lose that one. That'll cleanse

235
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 6: it for Louisville. Within a fifty to fifty game at

236
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 6: Miami tomorrow night, so no points one way or the other.

237
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: In my opinion. Floria State obviously is going to be

238
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 6: favored over Louisville five a pretty good margin. Well we're

239
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 6: talking to is going to be about a nine point

240
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 6: spread there. So Floria State right now has the easiest

241
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 6: fast of the remaining un Vegans.

242
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: Took the words out of our mouth. So it would

243
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: surprise me. Would it surprise you when all the dust

244
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: is settled to Florida State it's not one of the

245
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: final four teams?

246
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 6: It would surprise me at this point because I mean

247
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 6: you're talking about they haven't FCS opponents this week. They're

248
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 6: going to be at least a ten point favorite against Florida.

249
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 6: I just mentioned the ACC championship game. They're going to

250
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 6: be laying more than a touchdown. I'll be surprised at

251
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 6: this point if they're not one of the four.

252
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: Let's look to the Big Ten because obviously it's Ohio

253
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: State Michigan. I don't suspect either Minnesota or Maryland will

254
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: prevail Saturday, so we look ahead to the Big Ten

255
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: Championship or check that the Michigan Ohio State Game Week

256
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: thirteen to twenty fifth. Who do you expect to prevail

257
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: in that game. I'm not so sure it's an automatic

258
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: win for Michigan like some people think. But I really

259
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: like to get your thoughts.

260
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I was pretty kind. If you had

261
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 6: asked me this question, Bernie, just seemed a couple of

262
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 6: days ago, I would have said, Yep, I'm confident Michigan.

263
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 6: I've been Michigan in the game I like five and

264
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 6: a half, believe or not, just because I made the

265
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: number seven. But man, the last twenty four hours worries me.

266
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 6: You know, keep in mind last week, at this time,

267
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 6: Michigan's fighting tooth and nail their final lawsuit. They're denying,

268
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 6: you know, denying that they're calling it an injustice, and

269
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, they accept the three game suspension

270
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 6: no questions. After they dropped the lawsuit, they fire a

271
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 6: linebackers coach that to me says, you know, there might

272
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 6: be some even some more stuff behind the scenes that

273
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 6: hasn't been reported yet. So Michigan deserves to be favorite,

274
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: and they will be next week in without Harball, without

275
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 6: the linebackers coach. So I expect them to beat the

276
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 6: buck guys. But that confidence level has gone from a

277
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 6: seven or eight to maybe a six.

278
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: And I've been on the phone a lot with my

279
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: Michigan peeps. If I had coach Parkers or linebackers coach

280
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: right now, the NCAA investigation is also continuing, and they're

281
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: in they're they're in the portion where they're interviewing coaches,

282
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: and he was not cooperating. So your point is dually

283
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: noted about distractions because the Big Ten might be done

284
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: with him for now, but the NCAA is not, and

285
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: so that will continue. Uh. Let's assume Michigan wins for

286
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: purposes of this conversation. But if Ohio State were to win. Uh,

287
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: it feels like Michigan would not have a path to

288
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: get to the playoff? Am I wrong?

289
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 6: Yeah?

290
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: No path.

291
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 6: I mean they're they're gonna as soon as they lose.

292
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 6: I mean, you're gonna see a lot of negativity towards them,

293
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 6: kind of you just said they won't have a There'll

294
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 6: be a lot of teams more at the front of

295
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 6: the line than they are with one loss. So yeah,

296
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 6: it's everything rides on that Ohio State game. I'm here

297
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 6: tell you, Bernie, and you know, this very well, this

298
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 6: is it. I'm for Michigan because next year a lot

299
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 6: of players graduate. Schedule gets tought for far ball. Is

300
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 6: he going to be there or not? I mean, this

301
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 6: is the final game run for this, you know, the

302
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 6: culmination of this three year run they've been on. They

303
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 6: get starting next year, we're looking at a team seven

304
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 6: to five, eight and fourists.

305
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, and believe me, they know that sentiment

306
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: there as well. They've known it for about a year.

307
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: Linking to the Big Ten, West Iowa clinches it with

308
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: the victory against Illinois Saturday. It's hard for me to

309
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: believe I would would prevail against either Ohio State or Michigan. Agree.

310
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, even with their outstanding defense, you're still going to

311
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 6: be looking at us. I mean a spread of seventeen

312
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: plus points right in the Big Ten championship game, if

313
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: not higher than that.

314
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: So let's assume the Big Ten winner in Florida State

315
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 2: are two of the four. Let's go to the Big twelve.

316
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: Texas clinch is a spot in the championship game. If

317
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 2: they win, and if Kansas State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State

318
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: two of the three lose, they're in. I expect Texas

319
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: to be in regardless of who they play, who do

320
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: you expect to prevail out of the Big twelve.

321
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll keep it safe and say Texas just because,

322
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 6: I mean, let's just say it's you know, Oklahoma State,

323
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 6: who probably has the easiest path because they're favored by

324
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 6: a touchdown this week. There'll be a significant favorite against

325
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 6: the YU next week. So if it's Texas Oklahoma State,

326
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 6: you're still looking at Texas being a double ditch's favorite.

327
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go with the longrrns coming out of

328
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: the Big Twelve.

329
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: We're in agreement, but Texas would be the first They

330
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: would be the first one loss conference championship teams. That

331
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: will set that aside for now. PAC twelve I'm particularly

332
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: interested in because if Washington loses Saturday, we might see

333
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: some chaos. I do expect Oregon and Washington end up

334
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: playing for the PAC twelve championship game. I feel like

335
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: Oregon's the better team. First of all, what do you

336
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: make that number on a neutral brand? I think it'd

337
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: be played here in Vegas, Yeah, I.

338
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 7: Believe it or not?

339
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 6: Or I mean, I know Washington beat Oregon already, but

340
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 6: you're looking at Oregon being a sizeable favorite, believe it

341
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 6: or not?

342
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: Great?

343
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 6: Oh no, I believe yeah, touchdown favorite. You can bet

344
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: the game now, it's like Oregon six and a half.

345
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 6: I agree with that. In fact, i'd probably still lean Oregon.

346
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 6: It's minus six and a half, I make it seven.

347
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: Well, if Dan Lanning doesn't try to be boy genius,

348
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: then I don't see how Washington hangs with him. I

349
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: personally feel like Oregon's the best team in the country

350
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: when you consider offense and defense. So Oregon would also

351
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: be Let's assume that that scenario prevails and you've been

352
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: rock solid these things. They would also be a one

353
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: loss conference champion, which leads us to the SEC. Georgia

354
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: and Bama. They've already clinched spots in the championship game.

355
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: They're headed on a collision course. What do you make

356
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: that line? Who do you expect to prevail?

357
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, Georgia, I'm going to make about three and a half.

358
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 6: You can vet them multiple books right now, So it's

359
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 6: similar to that. It's the Georgia four, so not much

360
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 6: value there. So you know Alabama's ascending, but you can

361
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 6: make the same case for Georgia. They're off their best

362
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 6: performance of the season, so Georgia is more than a

363
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 6: field goal favorite and the SEC championship team.

364
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: I feel like Georgia would get it done as well.

365
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: Might not be easy, So I think, just for purposes

366
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: of a teniance conversation, you'd have an undefeated Big Ten champ,

367
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: you'd have an undefeated Florida State team, and you'd have

368
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: an undefeated Georgia team. It feels like, if everything goes

369
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: according to Oyles, we've got three of the four playoff

370
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: teams and that put them in what order? Will figure

371
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: that out later, which might leave a one loss Texas

372
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 2: team and a one loss Oregon team who gets that

373
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 2: fourth spot? Brad, That's a tough call.

374
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously, look, Oregon's overall body of the body

375
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 6: of work will be better in my opinion, but man

376
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 6: Texas has that really has the best data point. From

377
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 6: that data point being going on the road, non conference

378
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 6: winning in Alabama, I would say, per I can tell

379
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 6: you who I put in Oregon because I mean, right now,

380
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 6: in a neutral I'd favor Oregon over Texas by about

381
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 6: six point. Absolutely be an easy decision for me. What's

382
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 6: the committee going to do? You know, TV comes in here.

383
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 6: I mean, it's probably easier to lead the PAC twelve

384
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 6: team out other than a blue blood like Texas. So

385
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 6: I think it's a really tough decision.

386
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: Talk with Brad Powers College Sports, college betting guru, one

387
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: of the most sought after college guests in the country.

388
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: Get them on the bet the Board podcast, Brad Power

389
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: Sports Brad Power seven at Twitter. All Right, just for giggles,

390
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: it's not out of the realm of possibility that Alabama

391
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: could beat Georgia. I think that would be curtains for Georgia, correct,

392
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: and Alabama would advance as the one lost SEC champion.

393
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 6: Fair Yep, absolutely be in and we'll see who to

394
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 6: the detriment of Manifest be to Texas. Man, that would

395
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 6: be a catastrophe.

396
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta tell you, I hate to be a killjoy,

397
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: but it would be so on brand for Steve Sarkisi

398
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: and to find a way to screw the pooch here

399
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 2: right and not and and get beat one of the games.

400
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: And that would make it I think easier. Easier on

401
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: the committee.

402
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not a slam dog, including this week, I

403
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 6: mean a very tricky road spot at I would state

404
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 6: this week they're only laying seven and a half.

405
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: Well in a very tricky road spot. Last game I'll

406
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 2: ask you about. It's a night game at Oregon State.

407
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: Washington takes the undefeated record into the into Oregon State,

408
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: and I gotta tell you that could be a real

409
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: bear trap as you as you probably know, those two

410
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: schools squirt off and court this past week to settle

411
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 2: who should be in control of the PAC twelve, and

412
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: the Oregon State legal team prevailed. So this is a

413
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: real grudge match. And after tomorrow or after later today Saturday,

414
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: they may not play again. Who knows when I don't

415
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: think it's automatic Washington wins that game. That's going to

416
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: be a tough game. Your thoughts, Yeah.

417
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 6: I mean there's a reason. Let Vegas tell you what's

418
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 6: going to happen. Oregon State favors. I like Oregon State

419
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 6: to win the game. I like him to cover the game.

420
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be a bit surprised to even win the

421
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 6: game with margin by that. I wouldn't be surprised Oregon

422
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 6: Say wins by ten.

423
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: So levers for great, great call, Brad, final question, any

424
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: thoughts on who's going to prevail in this Heisman Trophy

425
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 2: race in twenty twenty three right now.

426
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 6: If I had to make one bet to be Bonicks,

427
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 6: just because I expect the Oregon to win out here,

428
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 6: and you know he's going to be in some high

429
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 6: profile games. The second guy, if I can tell you

430
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 6: who I bet, you know, not who I bet, but

431
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 6: who i'd vote for. Who I think is the best

432
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 6: player in college football. San Daniels, LSU quarterback. I can't

433
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 6: help but he doesn't play defense for LSU, but man, offensively,

434
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 6: he's as good as I've seen all.

435
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: Year, a million percent. He's a one man show. You're

436
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 2: You're You're exactly right. I should have asked this a

437
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 2: minute ago. I promise this is the last question. Who

438
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: do you like gun to your head to win the

439
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 2: whole shebang this year? In terms of the college football Championship?

440
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 6: I would have said Michigan maybe a couple of weeks ago.

441
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 8: Believe it or not.

442
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 6: Now with the distractions, I might get him in a game.

443
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna call for Georgia to be the first team

444
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 6: in the ap Pole era going back to the nineteen

445
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 6: thirties to three peat. So give me the Georgia.

446
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: Bulldog, and I believe they're going to three pet all year.

447
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: The only reason it doesn't happen is used to be

448
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: left to the voters. I mean when Minnesota did it

449
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: in the thirties, right, I mean there have been lots

450
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: of discrepancies Bama could have repeated in the sixties. All right,

451
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: what's the conversation for a different day. But because it

452
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: signed on the field, I agree with you, Georgia. Brad Will,

453
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: you're one of the busiest guys, one of the hardest

454
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: workers in this business. Appreciate your help. Enjoy your weekend.

455
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 6: Hey, thanks for having Bernie. Take care.

456
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 2: This is Brad Powers, Brad Power seven and Twitter Brad

457
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: Power Sports. One of the most knowledgeable entertaining. Of course,

458
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: college football prognostigators in the country's in constant demand to

459
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: be on folks shows like this one coming up. Well,

460
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: you heard Brad say it, and the truth of the

461
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: matter is Washington could very well lose at Oregon State Saturday,

462
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: and if they lose, chaos ensues. I will explain why,

463
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: but first go to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

464
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 7: All right, Bernie will start with some NBA hoops from

465
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 7: Friday night, Lebron James scoring thirty five points to lead

466
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 7: the Lakers to a victory in Portland one oh seven

467
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 7: to ninety five, the final score six straight losses there

468
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 7: for the Blazers.

469
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant thirty eight points for the Suns.

470
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 7: They beat a shootout or win a shootout, I should

471
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 7: say against Utah one thirty one to one. Twenty eight

472
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 7: Garb Bradley Beal for the Suns will miss at least

473
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 7: the next three weeks as he continues to deal with

474
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 7: that lingering back injury. Twenty four points for James Harden

475
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 7: in a one o six to one hundred Clippers win

476
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 7: over Houston, LA, snapping a six game losing streak there,

477
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 7: their first win with James Harden in the lineup. Pelicans

478
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 7: to beat Denver one fifteen to one ten despite thirty

479
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 7: six points and eighteen assists for Nikola Jokic. Wins for Boston,

480
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 7: Cleveland and Sacramento. The Sacramento Kings is getting by the

481
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 7: way forty three points from Daron Fox they get a

482
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 7: victory over the Spurs. Top twenty five college basketball victories

483
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 7: for Duke, Arizona and Kentucky. In college football, Washington State

484
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 7: beating Colorado fifty six to fourteen, and Pullman, Texas and

485
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 7: Antonio remain unbeaten in the AAC after a forty nine

486
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 7: to twenty one victory over South Florida.

487
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 2: Back to Bernie Fredle, all right, thanks so much, Kevin.

488
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: So you heard Brad Oregon State is a favorite. He

489
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: expects Oregon State to beat Washington. I think he's right.

490
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: It's going real bear trap Saturday night at Oregon State.

491
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: And here's why that game is so significant, because if

492
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 2: Washington loses, you might get to chaos pertaining to the

493
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: college football playoff that so many people crave see. The

494
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: race for the college football playoff is pretty straightforward at

495
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: this point. There are five undefeated teams left standing Georgia,

496
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Michigan, Florida State, and Washington. But because the

497
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: Buckeyes and Wolverine will they'll play each other a week

498
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: from Saturday. Well, there can only be a maximum of

499
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: four unbeatens where the College Football Committee makes its final

500
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: selection on December third. So if four of the five

501
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: teams remain undefeated, I have to believe that that will

502
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: make the committee's job really simple to pick the four

503
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: playoff teams. Pick your order. They'll go with the four

504
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: undefeated teams. But it's never happened. Before what if another

505
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: team goes down, So Michigan and Ohio State, well, there

506
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: aren't any danger. I don't believe this weekend against Maryland

507
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: Minnesota respectively, ahead of their showdown next Saturday in ann Arbor. Meanwhile,

508
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: Georgia they're playing Tennessee. They're ranked eighteenth, but george is

509
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 2: a ten point favorite on the road in Knoxville. Florida

510
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: State's playing in North Alabama team Saturday. That's three and seven.

511
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: I think they stay alive and they'll advance to the

512
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 2: ACC Championship game, will be a prohibitive favorite over Louisville.

513
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: And then there's Washington. Washington faces a very stiff challenge

514
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 2: on the road against Oregon State, who's currently ranked number eleven,

515
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: and again the Beavers. As you heard Brad say, they're

516
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: the betting favorite in this one. Depending on where you

517
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: shop and when you got on the game. Oregon State

518
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: was anywhere from minus one to minus two and a

519
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: half at various sports books. Maybe three and a half,

520
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: although you know if you base if you base it

521
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: on power raad, it gives a narrow edge to the Oskies.

522
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I think this Florida, this Oregon

523
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: State team is dangerous. It will depend a lot upon

524
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: their quarterback dj Ugulele. He's the cuter transfer from Clemson

525
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: and he's been hot and cold. When he's on. He's

526
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: on when he's not, not so much. But Oregon State

527
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: they are no slouch. They picked up some very noteworthy

528
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: wins over Utah and UCLA, and of course they beat Colorado.

529
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: They're two losses to Washington State in Arizona. Well, they've

530
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: come by combined six points. Oregon State has one of

531
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: the best offenses in the country. They're nineteenth in total

532
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: yards per game, they're fourteen to points per game, and

533
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: they've got a respectable defense that's top thirty. Washington well,

534
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: they've passed every test this year. They beat Oregon, they

535
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: beat Utah and the BUSC and hard fought games. However,

536
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: Saturday night, seven thirty Eastern on ABC in Oregon State

537
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: will be the toughest test this season. Win or lose, Now,

538
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 2: the results won't necessarily determine Washington's playoff fate, but a

539
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: loss would make the committee's job a lot harder because

540
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: it's going to have to pick the top four in

541
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: two weeks. Now. I would say this the remaining schedule

542
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: that I've shared with you. The other unbeatens means we're

543
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: all but assured to have at least three undefeated teams

544
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: left heading into conference championship weekend, and those three should

545
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: head into the postseason with their playoff hopes attack. The

546
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: winner of the Ihio State Michigan will be a heavy

547
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: favorite in the Big Ten title game against Iowa. Florida

548
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: State should have not a lot of trouble with their

549
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: ACC championship opponent, most likely Louisville and Georgia. Well, they're

550
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: gonna face a difficult championship game against Alabama, but you

551
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: gotta believe the Bulldog's resume is strong enough they'd earn

552
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: a spot even if they or check that they should

553
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: have a chance to earn a spot even if I

554
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: lost to Alabama. So that puts all the pressure Saturday,

555
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: frankly is on Washington. It just simply is because if

556
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: they lose, I don't you know, if they beat Oregon,

557
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: which I don't think they'll do, they'll be a there'll

558
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: be a big underdog right now. As Brad said, you

559
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: can bet the game in Vegas. They're six and a

560
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: half point underdogs. I don't think Washington would beat Oregon

561
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: a second time on a neutral here in Las Vegas.

562
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: That would give them two losses. Even if they did

563
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: the long and the short of it is, you'd have

564
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: a situation where they would be a one loss PAC

565
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: twelve championship team. I don't think the committee takes them

566
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: because you're gonna have it under hed a Big ten team.

567
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 2: Most likely, George is going to be undefeated and you're

568
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: gonna have a you know, we undefleated Florida State team.

569
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: So they and we'll see what happens with Texas et

570
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: cetera in there, but George's back on top again. The Bulldogs.

571
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: They overtook Ohio State for the number one spot in

572
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: the newest college football rankings last week. And the Dogs

573
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: they're coming off big victories over Old miss who's ranked thirteenth,

574
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: fifty two to seventeen. They beat Missouri, who was ranked

575
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: number nine, thirty to twenty one. They've got a schedule

576
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: that's all of a sudden been bolstered. They've got some

577
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: quality wins and by the way, Tennessee is ranked eighteenth.

578
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: I expect Georgia to handle them. Ohio State dropped to

579
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: number two. They switched spots with Georgia. They do still

580
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: have two top twenty five victories against Notre Dame and

581
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: Penn State. That keeps them ahead of Michigan, who checks

582
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: in at number three. After the first top twenty five

583
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: one of the season, they beat Penn State twenty four

584
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: to fifteen. Penn State drops to number twelve. Meanwhile, again,

585
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: Florida State remains at number four. Had a bit of

586
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: a hardwa fought went over Miami, but that is a

587
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: rival school. There was some thought Washington could possibly move

588
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: ahead of the Seminoles because they have three top twenty

589
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: five victories since they beat Utah ranked twenty second thirty

590
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: five to twenty eight last week, compared to one for

591
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: the Seminoles, but the Huskies remain at number five. That's

592
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: the thing about this made for TV tournament, this invitational.

593
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 2: The bottom line is the committee does what they want

594
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: because it's a made for TV event. Coming up, final

595
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: thoughts on what was the Michigan change of heart for Thursday?

596
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: What was the sudden change in how they approached their

597
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: ongoing suspension. After being very cocky and after being very

598
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: confident and defiant, they switched gears. I'll explain why Tonight show,

00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: bug a lot of people. And the truth of the

618
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: matter is, after Michigan beat the chess last week, and

619
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: they were very defiant and very cock sure pretty clear

620
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: to me, their lawyers realized they were not going to

621
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 2: prevail meet their burden to uphold the temporary straining order.

622
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,959
Speaker 2: And frankly, frankly, Michigan should be glad because the truth

623
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 2: of the matter is, had this temporary restraining order been upheld,

624
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: the case would have stayed open. That means a Big

625
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: ten keeps digging, discovery takes over, and frankly, Michigan would

626
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: have lost more by winning in Laban's terms. So what happens? Okay,

627
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: what happened? The Big Ten's ongoing suspension of Harbor in

628
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: the past several days coincided with a couple new developments

629
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: that are really fairly significant. And this has to do

630
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: with the NCAA's ongoing investigation into the Wolverines, and we'll

631
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: call it their quote alleged cheating scheme. But a lot

632
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: of sources and people have reported, people are very, very

633
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 2: respectable people had reported that early in the week, Michigan

634
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: and the university in Harbor on the university, they were

635
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 2: preparing to absolutely challenge the Big ten's right to suspend

636
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: the coach with their restraining order and a civil lawsuit

637
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: that was filed in state court. But on Thursday, the

638
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,479
Speaker 2: school's lawsuit was voluntary voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, which means

639
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: they can't refile it. They won't refile, it cannot be

640
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: reintroduced in the future. And then on Friday, Michigan filed

641
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: their linebackers coach Chris Partridge. Then sources told ESPN that

642
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: the nciated formed Michigan earlier in the week. They had

643
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: also obtained evidence suggesting that a university booster had helped

644
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: fund this, as the Big Ten called it an impermissible

645
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: sign stealing operation run by their former Connor, their former

646
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 2: staff member, Connor Stallions. Michigan also received evidence suggested their

647
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: linebackers coach Partridge was tampering with the ongoing investigation. So this,

648
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: this assertion that Michigan had that Connor Stallions was some

649
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: rogue loan operator lone wolf really kind of starts to

650
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 2: fall to the ground. So all of a sudden, after

651
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: striking this defiant tone and you know, echoing it through

652
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: the country and Harbball calling him America's team and look

653
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: at us. And I took a Civics class in high

654
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: school and I watched Judge Judy watch me beat my

655
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: chest all sudden, he's an oh show. Michigan withdrew its

656
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: legal complaint the night before their schedule hearing on Thursday,

657
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: and they decided to accept the Big Ten's full three

658
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 2: game suspension of Harball. And make no mistake, Michigan still

659
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: is remaining very cocky that they're going to beat Ohio

660
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: State without Jim Harball on the sidelines. On game day,

661
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: they shifted their tone from this rebuke of the Big

662
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: Ten sanctions to sort of this growing acceptance that the

663
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: football program might be dealing with some potentially significant more

664
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: NCAA infractions that might even indicate allegedly a failure to

665
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: properly monitor the program on Harball's part. Now, again, these

666
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: investigations take forever. The wheels grind slowly, so we're not

667
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: going to draw any conclusions yet. Now the Big Ten,

668
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: the Big Ten, and Michigan said there's no evidence yet

669
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 2: that suggests Harball had direct knowledge of the alleged science

670
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 2: stealing scheme. So the investigation, you'd have to characterize it

671
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: as an investigation that remains sort of in the very

672
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: early stages because there's a lot of people that they

673
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: consider people of interest that are key figures, key people

674
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: keep players in this that haven't been interviewed yet now.

675
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 2: Less than a week ago, Michigan and their athletic director

676
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 2: Ward Manual issued a statements that he believed the Big

677
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: Ten's decision to spend Harball was quote unethical and insulting

678
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 2: to a well established process within the NCAA and an

679
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: assault on the rights of everyone, especially in the Big Ten,

680
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: to be judged by a fair and complete investigation end quote.

681
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: And then Michigan's president Santa Ono he checked in why

682
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 2: he urged the commissioner of the Big Ten, Tony Battiti,

683
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: in a letter to not succumb to pressure from other

684
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: schools in a quote rush to judgment. He also later

685
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: commented or commended the football team on how they responded

686
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: to the adversity and the challenges and with such conviction

687
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: after Michigan's went over Penn State, but Tony Petitti he

688
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: pushed back. He sent a thirteen page letter describing why

689
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: he made the decision to Sangson Michigan, and he denied

690
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: that there was that that Harball was denied due process,

691
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 2: and Petiti even met with on a week before without

692
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 2: before doueling out any discipline and so look the Big

693
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 2: Ten believed they followed their procedure for employing their sportsmanship

694
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 2: policy when it comes to sanctioning the school right. Pat

695
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: also put in his letter, the thirteen Bags letter, that

696
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: there was quote significant new information from interviews that the

697
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: university attended, but could not share it publicly because of

698
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: the NCAA's confidentiality rules. So on Thursday night, Michigan and

699
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: their lawyers said they accepted hardballs three game expecsion in full,

700
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: suspension in full so they could return to their focus

701
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: on the student athletes and performance on the field. Come on, now, man,

702
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: come on. This sounds sanctimonious and I don't know what

703
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 2: the endgame is going to be here, but I'm sticking

704
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: to my guns that while this is not an admission

705
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: of guilt, it's certainly on the face of it. As

706
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: they say in the legal terms prima facia, that Michigan

707
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: and their lawyers did not believe they would meet their burden,

708
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 2: that this would suffer a reparable damage, and of course

709
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: they'd have a chance to win this case. The Kates

710
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: would have stayed opened, the Big Ten would have kept digging,

711
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: and then the discovery process, I think more would have

712
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: come out, so Michigan would have lost more by winning.

713
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 2: Coming up Week eleven winners and losers in college football,

714
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: I'll bring them to you. Lots of news to unpack

724
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: We look ahead to the eventful Saturday in college football,

725
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: but you look back as well because many times the

726
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 2: storylines that are forming Saturday where this stage was set

727
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: the week before with about six games. Check that, check that.

728
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: Let me try that again. One of the teams that

729
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 2: probably is most depressed this week was Penn State, and

730
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: they lost last week. Obviously, whatever designs they had on

731
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: getting into the playoff was long gone. But at the

732
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: same time, now they did the Big ten Championship, et cetera.

733
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,959
Speaker 2: They lose to Michigan, who was playing without their coach,

734
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, and in the most idiosyncratic way in twenty

735
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: twenty three, Jj McCarthy, Michigan's quarterback, only threw the ball

736
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: eight times for sixty yards. This is twenty twenty three.

737
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: They were in the ball thirty two times in the

738
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: second half. Michigan did, as you heard me say, try

739
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: that against Georgia. I dare you. The Nitty Lions they

740
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 2: had only allowed five hundred and forty five yards all

741
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 2: season before they got on the field against Michigan, and

742
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: Michigan obviously ran the ball at will. They two hundred

743
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: and twenty seven times. They did what they needed to

744
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 2: do and Penn State never really threatened. I mean they

745
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: just it was three to nothing, but that was it, okay.

746
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: Michigan winner last week. Penn State loser. One of the

747
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 2: big winners, Georgia. They get brock Powers back after many

748
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: people said he wouldn't play. He's back. He missed only

749
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 2: two games with his injured ankle and makes an immediate impact.

750
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 2: Catches a touchdown pass thirty four yards. Georgia their top

751
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: rank most convincing museulta of the season. They put up

752
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 2: fifty two against the Mississippi's state team. That's a very

753
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 2: competitive team there, I believe, ranked eleventh, and so Georgia.

754
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: He started a little slow. They gave up a pair

755
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: of touchdown drives in the first quarter, and then all

756
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 2: of a sudden they held Jackson Dart and the Rebels

757
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 2: scoreless the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Carson Beck really

758
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 2: starting to come into his own through for three hundred

759
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: and six yards. I really believe George is gonna repeat

760
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: and we'll continue that narrative throughout the season. We'll see

761
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 2: what happens. Florida State and Washington were both winners last week.

762
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 2: They're still part of the two top playoff condenders. They

763
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 2: escape upsets, they remain unbeaten. If you are unbeaten, I've

764
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: always believed you get you get to the end of

765
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: the year and you're you're unbeaten. Well, they don't ask

766
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: Kyle just how many. So if you're not beating teams

767
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 2: by margin, well that's a backhanded compliment because that means

768
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 2: people must think enough of you to expect you to

769
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: win by margin. It's not just enough to win. You

770
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 2: have to win by margin. Washington, they survive a close call.

771
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: They beat Utah thirty five to twenty eight. The defense

772
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 2: clamped down when they needed to. They held the Utes

773
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: scoreless in the second half. But I think Washington could

774
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: be in trouble Saturday against Oregon State. But for now

775
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: they're on the winners circle. Missouri what an incredible you

776
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 2: know they drink oninz has done a very good job

777
00:43:55,400 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 2: with that program. My goodness. Uh they were if people

778
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: projected him to be a borderline Bowl team in August,

779
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 2: maybe seven win team, but then they smashed Tennessee thirty

780
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: six to seven last week. They're probably headed for New

781
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 2: Year's six Bowl because Missouri is very good. Another winner,

782
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Jr. I know people want to diminish him.

783
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 2: I think they're crazy because he doesn't have the most

784
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: receptions of receiving yards an that, but his playmaking ability

785
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: when it matters most are the things that make him great,

786
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: and he is a superstar. He had a Heisman worthy

787
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: game again last week thirty eight to three. They had

788
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 2: blowout in Michigan State. Catches seven balls, one hundred and

789
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: forty nine yards, three touchdowns. But you look earlier in

790
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: the year when they beat Penn State and Ohio State

791
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 2: beat Notre Dame. Marvin Harrison came up big and Kyle McCord,

792
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 2: Ohio State's quarterback, is also starting to come into his

793
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: own through for three to thirty five and three touchdowns.

794
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: So those are I believe are what you would characterize

795
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: as the winners, along with maybe Clemson better late than ever.

796
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 2: They've started to look the part of a top twenty

797
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: five team the past two weeks. After Dabos Swinney went

798
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 2: on his radio show and had a bit of a meltdown.

799
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: Don't act like he didn't, but he did. Defensively, Clemson

800
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: held the second best offense in the ACC to just

801
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty four yards last week to smash

802
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech forty two twenty one and Central Florida. You know,

803
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 2: I believe this is the first year in the Big

804
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 2: twelve man talk about a signature win. They not only

805
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: beat Oklahoma State, who'd beat in Oklahoma, they beat him

806
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: forty five to three. By the way, e CF had

807
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: Oklahoma down recently as well, but they couldn't hold on.

808
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: Cowboys had won five in a row. And you know

809
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 2: the UCF as you know now they're in a Power

810
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: five conference. They've always had a great athletes tois they

811
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 2: did a program. Now they're really tested weekend, week out,

812
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 2: and they're proving that they can they can answer the test,

813
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: and so you know, they put up offense, they compete,

814
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 2: and since I give Central Florida real thumbs up, losers Florida.

815
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: My god, Florida's defense is painful to watch, and their

816
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: offense is almost just as painful because they can't pick

817
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: up the slack. The result is Florida, a proud program,

818
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 2: is average at best and a lot of times below average.

819
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 2: They give up fifty two last week to LSU, lose

820
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: fifty two to thirty five. Jaden Daniels, you know, it

821
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: was kind of a Heisman showcase game for him. He

822
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: put the you know, the Gators in real danger of

823
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: being under five hundred this year. And I don't know

824
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 2: that billion apiers in the hot seat. I don't know.

825
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's under my business. But the

826
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: bottom line is Florida's not only five and five. They

827
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 2: have one good win on the year against Tennessee, and

828
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: they face the real possibility of potentially missing out on

829
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: bowlplayal together because they got to go to Missouri and

830
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: then their home against Florida State the final game of

831
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 2: the season. Florida could theoretically end up five and seven.

832
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 2: Wisconstant I put them on the lose category. This week

833
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 2: they drop a game to Northwestern, who really ask my

834
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: respect after what happened in the offseason. They lose twenty

835
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: four to ten, and it wasn't even that close. Wisconsin's

836
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 2: dropped for their last five games. They have no chance

837
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 2: of playing in the Big Ten Championship. This is Luke

838
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 2: fickles first season, This offense, another stinky offense. I don't

839
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: know right now. Wisconsin. Their goal should just be able

840
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 2: to get to a bowl game and go from there.

841
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 2: But they're on the loser side. So it's James Franklin.

842
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 2: With all due respect to James Franklin. Saturday, after losing

843
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 2: to Michigan, He's now four and sixteen against Ohio State

844
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 2: Michigan and once again highlights the major flaw in his tenure,

845
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: his inability to get past those two Big Ten heavyweights.

846
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 2: He can't get them over the Hume facts facts as facts.

847
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 2: Overall Penn State, they're nineteen and zeros since the start

848
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: of last season against every opponent other than Ohio State

849
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 2: and Michigan, and that's a dark clothe that looms over

850
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: the program. Pennce, they can still rally and have a

851
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 2: ten win season, a possible New Year's Bowl, depending on

852
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 2: whether or not the Big Ten champion reaches the playoff,

853
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 2: which I think it's almost a virtual certainty the Big

854
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 2: Ten champion will. Colorado loses again Friday Night to Washington State.

855
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: Last week, Colorado led Arizona twenty four to seventeen after

856
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 2: two quarters, and they slumped and they lose thirty four

857
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 2: to thirty one on a twenty four yeard field goal.

858
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 2: They give a fifty six points Friday night. Hate to

859
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 2: say it, Colorado loses at Utah next Saturday. And do

860
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: you really expect him to go into Utah and win

861
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: when virtually nobody goes into Utah and wins, And I

862
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: think it's like a weird start time, like ten in

863
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: the morning. If that happens, Colorado will finish the season

864
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 2: four and eight. By the way they started out three

865
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: and zero, Colorado would be one and eight in conference play.

866
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 2: Guess what Colorado's record was in conference play in twenty

867
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: twenty two. You guessed it and eight and how is

868
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: your day? Finally, Vanderbilt, They're still terrible. They give up

869
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 2: four hundred and eighty seven yards. They lose to South

870
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 2: Carolina forty seven to six. They're two to nine overall

871
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: oh and seven, and SEC play they get Tennessee twenty fifth.

872
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 2: There they're nine to twenty seven. I would just say

873
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: this Vanderbilt. The reason I'm highlighting them is because if

874
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 2: they lose, that would be their third winless finish a

875
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 2: SEC play in the last four years. Yes, they are

876
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: an SEC team, but three out of four year If

877
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 2: you don't want a single conference game, yeah, I don't

878
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 2: think that's too good, But speaking are not too good.

879
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: How would you like to be a school that just

880
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: paid their coach? Well, they didn't pay them yet. I'll

881
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 2: explain they're gonna pay him seventy six point eight million

882
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 2: dollars to go away on real If if you haven't

883
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: heard about it, well I'll tell you about it. Coming

900
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: was tipped off and I told some peeps I know

901
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: about a week ago that Jimbo Fisher would be fired,

902
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 2: and Sunday morning it happened. Jimbo Fisher, case you live

903
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 2: on Mars, was the erstwhile head football coach at Texas

904
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: A and M. And you know those folks engaged in

905
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 2: one of the more impressive nil consolidated efforts and then

906
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 2: maybe in the history of college football their collectives, their boosters,

907
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 2: their program backers, raised about thirty million dollars in the

908
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 2: last couple of years and brought in a boatload of

909
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 2: five star, four star, three star recruits. And Jimbo Fisher

910
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 2: had the distinction of having an incredible buyout. I mean,

911
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: they gave him a ten year, ninety five million dollar contract.

912
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 2: But the buyout is the thing to me that really

913
00:51:54,760 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 2: causes you to it's got your hit because in order

914
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 2: to part ways with Jimbo Fisher, the buyout is seventy

915
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: six point eight million dollars. And apparently they decided they

916
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 2: got a lot of oil money down there in Texas,

917
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: and they decided, look if if Texas A and M

918
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 2: can't even win the SEC West after six years with

919
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 2: the resources we have here, it's time to move on.

920
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 2: And you talk to people, and I talk to people

921
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: all the time. It turns out perhaps Jimbo Fisher really

922
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 2: wasn't a fit and Texas didn't really fit the culture.

923
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 2: Turns out he didn't have a lot of Texas ties.

924
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: And so this is leading now to the firing, which

925
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 2: is going to set a new precedent for multimillion dollar

926
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 2: byots in college football. Now just two years after giving

927
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 2: him a ten year and ninety five million dollar contract extension. Well,

928
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: they're parting ways with the coach and this move is

929
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: going to cost him a lot of money, and there's

930
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 2: no offset language, meaning Fisher can receive the money even

931
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 2: if he ends up signing with another school. I believe.

932
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: Darren Rovel reported that, And so the university is also

933
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 2: on the hook for a lot of the lucrative contracts

934
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 2: held by many of his assistants, which will also add

935
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars. Right now, Fisher's buy out

936
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: is the second largest in college football, which would cost

937
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 2: it would cost Georgia I believe ninety two million if

938
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: they got rid of Kirby Smart. I'm not sure. I

939
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 2: haven't sourced that that this is undred percent true. I

940
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna do that. I think Kirby Smart

941
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 2: is doing everything that you could ask him to do.

942
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: But it's funny because they maybe not funny, but Texas

943
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 2: A and M one Saturday, they beat Mississippi State fifty

944
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: one to ten, and they got fired Sunday morning. But see

945
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 2: that doesn't hide the fact that his conference record is

946
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 2: six and nine since the beginning of the twenty twenty

947
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: two season, and the stakeholders at Texas A and M said,

948
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: we just can't do this anymore now if you're scoring

949
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 2: at home. The other two largest biouts, you've got Mel Tucker,

950
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: who Michigan State parted ways with. He has an eighty

951
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: million dollar buiout clause. But from what I hear, I

952
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 2: think Michigan State believes that they won't have to honor

953
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 2: the buiout due to the sexual harassment allegations. We'll see.

954
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 2: That's got to be adjudicated, but we'll see. But previously,

955
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 2: just to give this some perspective, Okay, to give this

956
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: some perspective, the most expensive buyout in college football history

957
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 2: prior to this was Gus Melzan, who had received twenty

958
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 2: one point five million from Auburn after being fired in

959
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and that seemed like an astronomical amount of money.

960
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 2: But that's the new thing now. When agents negotiate contracts

961
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: for coaches, obviously they get lucrative contracts, but the clause

962
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 2: that's built in that sort of protects the coach and

963
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 2: gives them security is if you're gonna fire me, you're

964
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 2: gonna pay me to go away. Most coaches have very

965
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 2: lucrative buyouts. For example, Lance Lapold, I think he's done

966
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 2: a fabulous job with Kansas. I'm sure they don't want

967
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: him to go anywhere, But if he ends up going somewhere,

968
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 2: his bout to the school is I believe twelve million dollars.

969
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 2: Now that's not chump change, which sort of leads you

970
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: to the Jim Harbaugh situation. We're interestingly enough, and I

971
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: think the school would like to retain Jim Harbaugh. If

972
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 2: you think that they're turning on Jim Harball at Michigan,

973
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 2: you're wrong. This has caused them to circle the wagons tremendously.

974
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 2: They love their coach. Harbaugh has been successful at Michigan,

975
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 2: and he's made the School of Fortune, and he's This

976
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 2: generation is both sham Beckler times too, and I believe

977
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 2: that they would have probably negotiated and gotten a new extension.

978
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: But Harball wants a very low buyout. For instance, if

979
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 2: Jim Harball were to leave theoretically Michigan in after the season,

980
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 2: his current buyout is two point two million dollars two

981
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: point two five and it drops by seven hundred and

982
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars per year each year. That's to make

983
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 2: it easier for an NFL team to snap him up.

984
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 2: They make no mistakes. I'm not making any predictions. I

985
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: know people have had it wrong the last two years

986
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 2: by a wide margin. I know the Denver Broncos offered

987
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 2: Jim Harball the job this past season. He didn't want it.

988
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 2: He saw the team he's got coming back, believes he's

989
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 2: got twenty guys that will be drafted. He's got JJ McCarthy,

990
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 2: he's got two running backs at a pretty good defense, and

991
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 2: they still haven't really been challenged. If you got to

992
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: run the ball, if you could run the ball thirty

993
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 2: two times in a row and still win in twenty

994
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 2: twenty three, well, with all due respect, Penn State was

995
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 2: not a challenge, not to the degree that we efted

996
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 2: them to be. So we'll see what Michigan does when

997
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 2: they get on the field with the Ohio State and

998
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 2: should they advance to the playoffs, if they play a

999
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 2: team in the real offense, We'll see what they do.

1000
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 2: But the theory is that Jim Harball will look hard

1001
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 2: along at the NFL this year. Now, a couple of

1002
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: interesting jobs have opened up at the Raiders, who Jim

1003
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: has a long history with Al Davis loved him before

1004
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 2: he passed. Mark Davis loves him. The McCaskey family in

1005
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 2: Chicago have called Jim Harball part of the family. So

1006
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. Let's not speculate too much. Let's

1007
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 2: get through the college football season. But I can tell you.

1008
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 2: I can tell you that Carball never got over the

1009
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 2: fact that he lost his brother in the Super Bowl,

1010
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 2: and Harball would like to win a Super Bowl. And

1011
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 2: he turned sixty next year. So the stars could be

1012
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: aligning for Jim Harball. But I'm off on a tangent.

1013
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by this Jimbo Fisher firing. Now, keep in

1014
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 2: mind that the bad news is that they owe Texas

1015
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 2: A and m Ows Jimbo Fisher seventy six point eight

1016
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 2: million dollars. They'd have waited another year to fire them,

1017
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 2: they would have only old him like sixty eight million

1018
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 2: next year. Imagine that only sixty eight But the good

1019
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 2: news is they don't have to all pay it out immediately.

1020
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: Here's the breakdown. Believe it or not, it's gonna take

1021
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 2: eight years for Fisher to collect his full buyout. Within

1022
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: sixty days, Texas A and M has to dole out

1023
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 2: nineteen to four point four million within one hundred and

1024
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 2: twenty days seven point twenty seven million. So he'll get

1025
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: about twenty seven million of what he's owed here in

1026
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 2: the next four months, and then in from the years

1027
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five through the year twenty thirty one, annually

1028
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 2: he'll get payouts of seven point two seven million dollars

1029
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 2: each of those years until he's completely paid off in

1030
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: twenty thirty one. Now, I don't know if Jimbo Fisher

1031
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 2: is gonna get another job. He probably will, and so

1032
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 2: there's no offset language, which means that even if he

1033
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 2: gets another job making whatever he would command, well, then

1034
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 2: he can still you know, that still doesn't preclude him

1035
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 2: from getting his payout. He's gonna get the payout regardless.

1036
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, there's a lot of jobs

1037
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 2: open around the country. The Michigan State job, the UH

1038
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 2: the Texas A and M job, the Mississippi state job,

1039
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 2: the Arkansas job. I'm well, it's not yet, but I

1040
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 2: believe it's gonna be. I shouldn't have said that. I

1041
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: believe it's gonna be. From what we hear, it's possible.

1042
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: U c LA could open up. Brady Hope just retired

1043
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 2: at San Diego State. So the bottom line is that

1044
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 2: you know there's gonna be a real shuffling of the

1045
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 2: deck this coming this coming season in uh IN in

1046
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 2: college football, and so the you know you even even

1047
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL. On the bottom of the hour after

1048
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 2: after Kevin figures update, I'm gonna get to the Bill

1049
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 2: Belichick saga because there's all sorts of room swirling about him.

1050
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 2: This is a tough year in the NFL, man. I mean,

1051
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 2: if you're the Ravens and the Bengals. Last night, the

1052
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 2: Ravens win this huge AFC North matchup thirty four to twenty,

1053
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 2: that could be a decider as to who goes on

1054
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 2: to win the AFC North. Baltimore's eight and three now

1055
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: they hold a one and a half game lead, probably

1056
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 2: the best the best division in football. But again, the

1057
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 2: bigger story Joe Burrow's injury. The Bengals and their coach

1058
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor said Joe Burrow sprained his wrists on his

1059
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 2: throwing arm, and as of last night, they weren't sure

1060
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 2: how much time he could miss. As of Thursday night,

1061
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: but now it's been reported that Burrow is out for

1062
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 2: the year. Cincinnati's now five and five, and I gotta

1063
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 2: tell you, I'm a huge Burrough fan. But between the

1064
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 2: ACL the calf injury, this wrist injury, first of all

1065
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 2: any realistic championship hopes the Bengals had went out the window.

1066
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 2: Nothing against Jake Browning. He was outstanding at Washington, But

1067
01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 2: as far as the Bengals are concerned, they might be

1068
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: Jake from State Farm. But who's ever standing at the

1069
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 2: end of the season might win the Super Bowl? Because

1070
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 2: this game was litter with injuries. The Ravens tight end

1071
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews He's expected to miss the season. He has

1072
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 2: an ankle injury. Odell Beckham and he's banged up. And

1073
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: the Ravens center Tayler Linder Brown's banged up. So the

1074
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 2: good news for Baltimore they get a bye after next weekend.

1075
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of byes, might we be saying goodbye to the

1076
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 2: third winning his coach of all time? I'm not sure.

1077
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's been leaking out of New England.

1078
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: But first, before we get to that, let's go back

1079
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 2: to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

1080
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 7: All right, Bray with the Clippers, say goodbye to their

1081
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 7: six game losing streak on Friday night, picking up their

1082
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 7: first wins and training for James Harden a one to

1083
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 7: ozh six to one hundred victory over the Houston Rockets,

1084
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 7: Harden's former team, James scoring twenty four points with nine

1085
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 7: rebounds and seven assist Kawhi Leonard led all scores.

1086
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: He scored twenty six points.

1087
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 7: H Town has lost or Scots should say, had their

1088
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 7: six game winning streak snapped. Lakers got thirty five points

1089
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 7: from Lebron James in a one oh seven to ninety

1090
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 7: five victory in Portland. Blazers have lost six in a row.

1091
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 7: It was the Suns one thirty one in Utah one

1092
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 7: twenty eight. Kevin Durant thirty eight points, nine rebounds and

1093
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 7: nine assists. He had wins for the Sixers, Bucks, Knicks,

1094
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 7: and the Sacramento Kings. In college football, Washington State steamrolled

1095
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 7: Colorado fifty six to fourteen, while UTSA defeated USF forty

1096
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 7: nine to twenty one. And NFL news, the Bears will

1097
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 7: activate starting running back Khalil Herbert off of injury reserve.

1098
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 7: He's expected to play against Detroit on Sunday. Vikings receiver

1099
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 7: Justin Jefferson is listed as questionable for Sunday night against Denver.

1100
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 7: He has been out since Week five with a hamstring injury.

1101
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 7: Back to Bernie Fredo.

1102
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 2: All right, thanks so much, Kevin, so one of the

1103
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 2: greatest coaching careers in NFL history might be hanging in

1104
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 2: the bounce. He's third in victories, I believe, behind George

1105
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 2: House and Don Shula. And of course, not only did

1106
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 2: he win seven Super Bowls with New England. Remember Bill Parcels,

1107
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 2: the Great Bill Parcels, never won a Super Bowl without

1108
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick by a side. But after Sunday's loss to

1109
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: the Colts in Germany, a ten to six neoser which

1110
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 2: dropped the Patriots to it's unreal to look at this

1111
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 2: two and eight. The Patriots are two and eight on

1112
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 2: the season. The narrative, the group think echo Chamber, a

1113
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 2: narrative surrounding Bill Belichick, is now growing things. They've just

1114
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 2: simply gotten progressively worse for the Pats as each week

1115
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 2: goes by during the season. They had their first one

1116
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 2: of the season Week three against the Jets, but then

1117
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 2: they follow that up with losses of thirty eight to

1118
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: three and thirty four to nothing. That's not competing. Then

1119
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 2: they had a nice comeback win over the Bills in

1120
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 2: Week seven, but they have not been able to build

1121
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 2: on it three state games. Now Sunday, their performance New

1122
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 2: England's performance, which you could be best described as what

1123
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 2: very uninspiring listless, was a new low. And now not

1124
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 2: only is this season for the Patriots going from bad

1125
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 2: to worse. And it's not funny. You now are hearing

1126
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 2: the Patriots and conversations for a team that might even

1127
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 2: end up with the number one pick. Now, if the

1128
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 2: draft were held today, the NYON would be picking fourth overall.

1129
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:31,919
Speaker 2: So in this common parlance known as the NFL, well,

1130
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 2: what a teams usually do when they're two and eight

1131
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 2: and they got an offense at the ranked second to

1132
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 2: the last in league in scoring almost exclusively, they fire

1133
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 2: the coach. Usually it's a relatively easy decision, but not

1134
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,919
Speaker 2: in this case. This is a calculus. It's very much

1135
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 2: more complicated because after everything that Bill Belichick is accomplished,

1136
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 2: you just can't call a press issue a press release

1137
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 2: and send them packing, especially in the middle of the season.

1138
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 2: You can't do that, and I do not believe the

1139
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 2: Patriots will do that. But as the story grows, this

1140
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: very much leaves Robert Kraft, the owner, in a tricky spot.

1141
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 2: I think Robert Craft's a good man, and he very

1142
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 2: much wants to respect the two and a half decades

1143
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 2: of domination that Belichick brought this franchise, or two decades anyway.

1144
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 2: I also think, obviously, because Bill Belichick will be a

1145
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame coach, he's sensitive. He's gonna be very

1146
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 2: sensitive to not only being the guy who let Tom

1147
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 2: Brady out of town and even would have gotten about

1148
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,959
Speaker 2: of town sooner maybe if Belichick would have had his way,

1149
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 2: but he might be the guy who let Belichick go

1150
01:05:52,480 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 2: as well. So my belief is that somehow how Robert

1151
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 2: Kraft is looking for sort of this seamless, smooth, elegant

1152
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 2: escape hatch from not only moving on from Bill Belichick,

1153
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 2: but the Belichick era. Now, it's been suggested that if

1154
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 2: they want to do this the right way, you give

1155
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick a respectable sendoff, a hearty sendoff. And what

1156
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 2: would that mean, Well, maybe that means that the Patriots

1157
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 2: announced right before their final home game of the season

1158
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 2: on January seventh, that Bill Belichick will be moving on.

1159
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 2: Then you could have a ceremony that honors him during

1160
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 2: the game they played the Jets that day, he sent

1161
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 2: him on his way. I believe the home crowd would

1162
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 2: be raucous. They would be cheering. And the only question

1163
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 2: is if it were to come to this, would Bilichick

1164
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 2: agree to it? Would he go for it? There is

1165
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 2: no way of knowing. That's the beauty Bill Belichick. You

1166
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 2: hear him in press conferences. Now, the private Bill Belichick

1167
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 2: has a great personality, Believe it or not. He's funny,

1168
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,919
Speaker 2: he's smart. He didn't win by accident, and it wasn't

1169
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 2: just Brady. Belichick had some good defenses there. But the

1170
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 2: Patriots don't have the personnel to compete. They just don't.

1171
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 2: But we don't know what makes Belichick tick, except that

1172
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 2: he doesn't like the media. He's always said that if

1173
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm losing, the media can't save me. If I'm winning,

1174
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 2: the media can't touch me. So it's possible deep down

1175
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 2: coach wants to say goodbye to the fan base, make

1176
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 2: an announcement on his own, or god forbid, could we

1177
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 2: see a situation that Belichick would be so obstinate it

1178
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: would force Craft to fire him, take his money and

1179
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 2: go elsewhere. I don't know what the solution is, and

1180
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 2: now we're hearing reports that people could potentially see Bill

1181
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 2: Belichick with the Commanders next year. Well, the Commanders have

1182
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,959
Speaker 2: a coach ron Rivera, so let's not go down that road.

1183
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 2: But once again, the Group Think Echo Chamber likes to

1184
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 2: work overtime, so people are clamoring to speculate and pontificate

1185
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 2: on what the hell is gonna happen with Bill Belichick.

1186
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 2: I don't think even God knows, but these are all

1187
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 2: the things we're hearing blown in the wind, and after

1188
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:22,719
Speaker 2: last Sunday's loss to the Colts in the most embarrassing fashion. Frankly,

1189
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 2: maybe any of it or all of it is on

1190
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 2: the table. We will continue to watch his story and

1191
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 2: have it play out and probably get on a guest

1192
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 2: from Boston as we get closer to the end of

1193
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 2: the season. Another Group Think Echo Chamber conversation is what

1194
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 2: the hell is wrong with Josshallen after an incredibly impressively

1195
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 2: bad way to lose to Buffalo on Monday Night. Josh Allen, Well,

1196
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: the fingers are being pointed at him. We'll talk about

1197
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 2: it coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle, we Comedy Live from

1201
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 2: Fox HRS Radio, come to you live from the Tireck

1202
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 2: dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Coming up top

1203
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,480
Speaker 2: of the hole. We're gonna dive into this Draymond Green situation.

1204
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 2: My god. You know, if you look up stupid in

1205
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 2: the dictionary, if you don't see his picture, well then

1206
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 2: you're not looking hard enough because his dude, you thought

1207
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 2: he had a body at work before. We'll bring in

1208
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 2: the crew to talk about it too. This is a

1209
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:27,560
Speaker 2: conversation very much worth having. Meanwhile, we've talked about Belichick.

1210
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 2: The other group think echo chamber name that keeps coming

1211
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 2: up as Josh Allen, and the question is what's wrong

1212
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen? The truth of the matter is the

1213
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 2: Bills are in serious danger missing the playoffs. And then, frankly,

1214
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is a big reason why he threw two

1215
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 2: more picks Monday night against the Broncos. He now has

1216
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:52,520
Speaker 2: a league leading eleven interceptions on this season. Eleven interceptions.

1217
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 2: And let's not forget that when Josh Allen burst upon

1218
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 2: the scene back in twenty two. He emerged as one

1219
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 2: of the top quarterbacks in the league frankly right away,

1220
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 2: because he turned the Bills into serious Super Bowl contenders.

1221
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 2: And he's got a few accomplishments. Remember, Buffalo has won

1222
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 2: the AFC East three years in a row with an

1223
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 2: offense that's ranked in the top three in scoring in

1224
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 2: each of those three years. But here comes a big

1225
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 2: butt peewey. The Bills, who've not lost more than six

1226
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 2: games in a single season since Josh Allen's rookie year, Well,

1227
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 2: they're extremely disappointed. Five and five, seven weeks left, and

1228
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 2: they have a very tough schedule in the head Why

1229
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 2: the Bill struggling because and by the way, they've particularly

1230
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 2: had issues and struggled in the first half of games

1231
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 2: this season. Buffalo only scored eight points at home against

1232
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 2: Denver in the first half mony night, and seven points

1233
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 2: in the first half against the Bengals the week before.

1234
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:03,839
Speaker 2: Buffalo scored fourteen touchdowns in the first half of games

1235
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 2: this season, which is tied for eighth most in the NFL,

1236
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:10,759
Speaker 2: but only seventeen in the second half. And the bottom

1237
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 2: line is part of the issue. They're having a turnovers.

1238
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 2: Allen is throwing seven first half interceptions, the most in

1239
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 2: the league, and four in the second half. Now, when

1240
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 2: you put your team in a hole like that, and

1241
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 2: Buffalo's defense has not been what it's been in the past,

1242
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: you find that year five and fiveteen, Buffalo managed only

1243
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 2: one first half touchdown Monday Night because why well, both

1244
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 2: of Josh Allen's interceptions Monday Night came before halftime. The

1245
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 2: first one killed a good Buffalo drive, had them in

1246
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 2: the right on the cusp of the end zone very

1247
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 2: early in the first quarter, set the tone for the game.

1248
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 2: The second interception on Buffalo's very first play, after Denver

1249
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 2: kicked a field goal that gave the Broncos a twelve

1250
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 2: to eight lead in the second half. It also gave

1251
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 2: the Broncos a short field. And what did Denver do?

1252
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 2: They took advantage of that short field. They added another

1253
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 2: field goal as time expired. So Denver headed into the

1254
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 2: locker room Monday Night at halftime with a seven point

1255
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 2: advantage fifteen to eight. By the way, Josh Allen had

1256
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 2: a third turnover in the third quarter when he botched

1257
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: a handoff to James Cook. No, I guess you could

1258
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 2: chalk up that funnel to miscommunication between Allen and Cook.

1259
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 2: But you add that to two interceptions, and when you

1260
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: commit three turnovers in an NFL game, history tells issue

1261
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 2: lose ninety four percent of the time, and Buffalo did.

1262
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 2: They lost twenty four to twenty two to the Broncos. Now,

1263
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 2: on the first pick, Allen forced to throw into a

1264
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 2: tight window, it ended up getting deflected and it was

1265
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 2: intercepted by Justin Simmons. The second pick, Alan just simply

1266
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 2: failed to recognize that Fabian Moreau was waiting to jump

1267
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 2: the route. He stared down his hot receiver through it. Anyway,

1268
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 2: those are the kind of poor decisions that a veteran

1269
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 2: like Josh Allen should not be making this sixth season

1270
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 2: in the league. These are things he hadn't done in

1271
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 2: previous years, and that's why you now find Buffalo at

1272
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 2: five and five. But there was blame to go around,

1273
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 2: plenty of blame to go around. And if you're a

1274
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's fan, it's been a week almost to try

1275
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,679
Speaker 2: to process how dumb of a football game they played

1276
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 2: Monday night. And even though if you're a Broncos fan

1277
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,640
Speaker 2: you're excited. Okay again, it's back to my story on perspective.

1278
01:13:55,400 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 2: Brother one and Brother two. Brother one he's got a

1279
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 2: networth of fifty grand Brother two's got a networth of

1280
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 2: ten million. Brother one has a great day in the

1281
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 2: stock market Friday makes ten thousand bucks. His networth is

1282
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:12,600
Speaker 2: sixty thousand. He goes to bed ecstatic. Brother two he

1283
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 2: has a terrible day in the stock market, loses a

1284
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 2: million dollars. He's not worth nine million dollars. He goes

1285
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:21,839
Speaker 2: to bed depressed. Brother one has a networth of sixty thousand.

1286
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 2: He's a static. Brother two has a networth of nine million.

1287
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 2: He's bummed. It all comes down to perspective. So as

1288
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 2: Denver played Buffalo, Denver's four and five. They started out

1289
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 2: zero to three, started out one and four. Now they're

1290
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 2: four and five. They beat Minnesota Sunday, They got an

1291
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 2: outside shot to get into playoff race. Sean Payton's turning

1292
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 2: it around. Wilson's starting to cook the Denver defense. They're

1293
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 2: starting to gravitate toward that tenth or eight defense last year. Yeah,

1294
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: they're four and five, they're brother won, they're e static.

1295
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bills, they're five and five. They've got a

1296
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 2: better record than Denver. They're bummed. Bad football Monday night

1297
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 2: might have been entertaining, but look, the final sequence of

1298
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 2: that game might really spell it out for the Bills.

1299
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 2: And what the hell is going on there? Okay? Down

1300
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:22,440
Speaker 2: one point one, twenty two to twenty one, Russell Wilson

1301
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 2: drives the Broncos into Buffalo's territory, but he faces a

1302
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 2: third and ten from the Buffalo forty five throws him

1303
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 2: in complete pass, but a defensive pass interference call moves

1304
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 2: the ball up twenty eight yards. Now they're on the seventeen. Well,

1305
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 2: doesn't look good for Buffalo. You figure Denver's gonna wrap

1306
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 2: this thing up right, but the ball's near chip shot range.

1307
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 2: So what does Russell Wilson do? He takes three straight

1308
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 2: knees to set up one of the I think both teams,

1309
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 2: both fan bases had to be just big time stressing

1310
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 2: out over this field goal attempt in both teams. So

1311
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 2: Denver manages to have no timeouts left, So what they

1312
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 2: had to do was rush their kicking unit on the field,

1313
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 2: line up, execute the snap, execute the hold, and make

1314
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 2: sure Will Lutts, who's one of the better kickers in

1315
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 2: the game, make a forty one yarder on the road

1316
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:38,719
Speaker 2: on Monday night and it's cold, with a lot of pressure.

1317
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 2: Game over right wrong the Bills. First of all, First

1318
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 2: of all, Will Lutts misses it. He misses the field goal.

1319
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 2: But the Bills, they are so caught up in the

1320
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 2: hysteria of the Broncos and they're Chinese fire girl trying

1321
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 2: to get on the field line up in their dysfunction.

1322
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 2: The Bills had twelve men on the field for a

1323
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 2: field goal. How do you do that? So after missing

1324
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 2: the forty one yarder, Will Lutz gets a second bite

1325
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 2: at the apple, Denver picks up five yards courtesy of

1326
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 2: the Buffalo penalty. And remember it took a pass interference

1327
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 2: call on third and ten and an incomplete pass to

1328
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 2: get the ball down to the seventeen yard line in

1329
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 2: the first place. So Buffalo was heavily into charity, but

1330
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 2: Denver couldn't take advantage. Well, the second time they did,

1331
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,719
Speaker 2: Lutz nails a thirty six yard field goal, game winner,

1332
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 2: walk off, game set match. The Broncos leave town with

1333
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 2: a very much needed twenty four to twenty two win,

1334
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 2: and the Bills are left scratching their heads. So as

1335
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 2: we sit today, Denver's four and five and on a

1336
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 2: three game winning streak. But the focus is on Buffalo.

1337
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 2: They were considered to be a top flight Super Bowl bulk.

1338
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 2: They're now just five and five. They got a bunch

1339
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 2: of injuries. They keep making mistakes. The Bills had four

1340
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 2: turnovers Monday night. Each one was more baffling than the previous,

1341
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 2: all self inflicted wounds. Buffalo still does have a talented roster,

1342
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 2: and people have been assuming that they'll figure it out

1343
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 2: over the first couple months after scuffling early in the season.

1344
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 2: But now they're a five hundred team and they get

1345
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 2: to play Philadelphia, Kansas City and the Cowboys, and three

1346
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:32,719
Speaker 2: of their next four games. You lose those, the season

1347
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 2: is probably lost. You can't be happy if you're a

1348
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills fan. Like I said, it all comes down

1349
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 2: to perspective. Hopefully Josh Allen can return to previous form.

1350
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 2: Speaking of previous form, Draymond Green, He's got a body

1351
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 2: of work. We'll explain. Keep it locked. You're listening to

1359
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be two words, Draymond Green. Now,

1360
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 2: if you follow Draymond Green's career, his antics have already

1361
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 2: begun legendary when it comes to stupidity and the way

1362
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 2: he trash talks with opponents and rouse the opponent. Try

1363
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 2: that again in English. He rouse up the opposing crowd.

1364
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 2: He likes it, you know, people boo him, the jeers,

1365
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 2: the crowd. He's he's sort of liked, the perfect bad guy,

1366
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 2: the perfect ultimate warrior, as it were. But it was

1367
01:19:56,280 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 2: only a matter of time before Draymond struck again. And

1368
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 2: maybe he's a wanna be UFC guy. Now, after punching

1369
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 2: Jordan Pool last year, you might have thought that was

1370
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 2: the icing on the kick. Nah, not even close. This

1371
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,799
Speaker 2: guy can't help himself. I remember in a press conference

1372
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 2: back in twenty sixteen he'd gotten seven technicals during the

1373
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 2: playoffs or something, and one more he would have been

1374
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 2: suspended two games, and he says, ah, stupid, I'm not

1375
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna get the eighth technical. No, you're not stupid. You

1376
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 2: were just stupid enough to get seven technicals. Okay, So

1377
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 2: what happened Tuesday? There was an altercation that started between

1378
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:40,480
Speaker 2: the Warriors Klay Thompson. They were playing the Minnesota Timberwolves.

1379
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 2: So Klay Thompson and Jade McDaniels, well, they kind of

1380
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 2: were going at it, and then all of a sudden,

1381
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert is near the fracas, and then Draymond Green

1382
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 2: he jumps into the fray and puts Gobert in a

1383
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 2: choke hold and starts dragging him away. And in the

1384
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 2: pool report following the game, which by the way, Minnesota

1385
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:06,680
Speaker 2: one one oh four, one on one, the referee at

1386
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 2: the game that night, Tyler Ford, called Green's actions on

1387
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 2: Godbert a headlock. He could have called it a chocol

1388
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 2: What does it matter. A suspension was coming for Green,

1389
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 2: that was obvious. I believe he got five games. But

1390
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 2: even in an altercation, which can happen, it happens very

1391
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 2: infrequently in this man's NBA. Back in the day, it happened,

1392
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 2: But in this man's NBA not so much. But even

1393
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 2: in an altercation Draymond Green in his contact just it

1394
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 2: doesn't have any place in the game. You know, people

1395
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 2: were guessing what would the suspension be. Some people thought

1396
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 2: it could be ten games, No one really knew. It

1397
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 2: ended up being five games. And of course, of course,

1398
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 2: was that decision was made by Joe Dumars, who have

1399
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 2: tremendous respect for He's the NBA executive vice president, he's

1400
01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 2: the head of basketball operations. When Joe Dumars overseas league discipline,

1401
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 2: and as you recall last spring in the playoffs, Joe

1402
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 2: Dumars suspended Draymond Green for one game against Sacramento for

1403
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 2: basically stepping on the chest of Sacramento King center Demontes Sabonis.

1404
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 2: So the league has sort of walked this tightrope with

1405
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:25,560
Speaker 2: Draemon Green. They recognize he's a guy who he's a

1406
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 2: very spirited player, means a lot to his team, plays

1407
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:34,679
Speaker 2: with fire. But the bottom line is he's continually crossed

1408
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 2: the line with even Stevie Wonder could see that our

1409
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: unsportsmen like activities for just lack of a better word.

1410
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:48,639
Speaker 2: And when Green's punishment was announced for the playoff game

1411
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 2: last April, the NBA noted quote the suspension was based

1412
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 2: in part on Green's history of unsportsmen like acts. Now,

1413
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:01,960
Speaker 2: there was a follow up conversation with Dumars in USA

1414
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 2: Today and du Mars, I remember this quote. We talked

1415
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 2: about it on my show seven months ago, says quote,

1416
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:11,639
Speaker 2: it was a dangerous and unnecessary act. The second thing

1417
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 2: was that it was conduct detrimental to the league. And

1418
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 2: the third thing, Draymond is a repeat offender. That's how

1419
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 2: we got to a suspension during the playoffs. It was

1420
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 2: the totality of all three of those things. Well, Green

1421
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 2: checks three boxes in his latest nonsense. What he did

1422
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 2: and the way he handled it with Rudy Gobert was

1423
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 2: not only unnecessary but dangerous. It was also conduct detrimental

1424
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 2: to the league. And it also makes Draymond once again

1425
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 2: a repeat offender. Clearly he was going to get a

1426
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 2: multi game suspension and he got five games. I am wondering, though,

1427
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 2: if a stronger message is recired required and Draymond needs

1428
01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 2: to experience a little bit more pain, a little bit

1429
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 2: more discomfort, and even you know, I like Steve Kerr

1430
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 2: a lot, but he enables this behavior. It's pretty obvious

1431
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 2: The Warriors were six and six after that game, four

1432
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 2: consecutive losses and without Steph Curry he sidelined with an injury.

1433
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 2: The Western Conference this season is better and deeper than

1434
01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 2: it was last season, and the Warriors very much. Actually,

1435
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 2: they really thrive on Draymond Green's presence. And it's worth

1436
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 2: noting the Warriors have been better defensively with Green off

1437
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 2: the court then on the court. Believe it or not,

1438
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 2: they're minus eighteen points wise with Green on the court

1439
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 2: and plus forty four with him on the bench. That

1440
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 2: was through the first ten games this season, according to

1441
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 2: NBA dot Com stats. Now I realize the league took

1442
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 2: into account Green's history, they should also take they should

1443
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 2: have also taken into account as dislike of Room Gobert,

1444
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:05,599
Speaker 2: not all players get along. But if I understand correctly,

1445
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green, that had a few that's

1446
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,839
Speaker 2: played out over social media, and part of it stemmed

1447
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 2: from back in twenty nineteen when Draymond Green, even though

1448
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 2: nobody asked him, made fun of Rudy Gobert for crying

1449
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 2: over a twenty nineteen All Star snub. It's pretty clear

1450
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 2: Draymond Green's got a body of work, and he did

1451
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 2: it again, and he'll do it again. And the truth

1452
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 2: of the matter is, you have to ask yourself if

1453
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 2: it's reached the point of diminishing returns. Now, personally, I

1454
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,520
Speaker 2: believed it did years ago in the twenty sixteen playoffs,

1455
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 2: which Cleveland and lebron did the improbable, even being down

1456
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 2: three games to one, they came back and beat Golden State,

1457
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 2: And I put that squarely on Draymond's shoulders. If Grandmond

1458
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 2: had not been suspended again, I believe Golden State would

1459
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 2: have won the NBA Championship that year. So there you

1460
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 2: have it. Two words. Draymond Green, he's trouble. I don't

1461
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 2: like him. He's a good player, He's probably gonna get

1462
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame votes. He's contributed to all their championships.

1463
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,679
Speaker 2: But if he reached a point passed the diminishing returns

1464
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 2: where the juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore. He killed

1465
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 2: their season last year by punching Jordan Poole. That he

1466
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 2: talked about what great chemistry the team had this year,

1467
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,000
Speaker 2: when he caused the bad chemistry last year, don't act

1468
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 2: like he didn't. And then he goes out and does

1469
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 2: his Tuesday Night with Rudy Gobert. Coming up, I want

1470
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 2: to bring in the crew. I want to have a

1471
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 2: round table discussion about this because the truth of the

1472
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 2: matter is Draymond Green can be and has been an

1473
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 2: asset to the Golden State Warriors. There's no question he's

1474
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:47,919
Speaker 2: an excellent player. He's a very good passer, rebounder, defender.

1475
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 2: But he's a knucklehead and aren't you tired of it?

Speaker 2: In a minute, I'm gonna remind you and take you

1489
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 2: down memory lane of Draymond's history of four suspensions in

1490
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 2: the MIA, the most recent after Tuesday Nights one O

1491
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 2: four one oh one Golden State loss to Minnesota, in

1492
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 2: which Draymond received a five game suspension in part quote

1493
01:27:56,040 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 2: due to his history of u sportsmanlike acts. Kevin, let's

1494
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 2: start with you take it anywhere you want. Give me

1495
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 2: your thoughts on this whole Draymond Green situation and his

1496
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 2: body of work, including Tuesday Night.

1497
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,639
Speaker 7: I'm over Draymond Green and have been for a long

1498
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 7: period of time. And with the Steve Kerr situation, he

1499
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 7: initially came out and defended him until I believe it

1500
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 7: was Thursday, he came out and said, yeah, you know,

1501
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,480
Speaker 7: Draymond was a little aggressive, and he deserves the suspension

1502
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 7: because look, if you went back live and watch when

1503
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 7: he got Rudy Gobert into a headlock. Who was the

1504
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 7: most demonstrative person yelling at Dreamond Green to let him go.

1505
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 1: It was Steve Kerr.

1506
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 7: I understand that Steve Kerr wants to protect this guy

1507
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 7: and feel like he's backing up his own player to

1508
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,640
Speaker 7: a certain degree, but it's just gone way too far

1509
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 7: with Raymond over the years.

1510
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think five games.

1511
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 7: And I don't know exactly how much power Adam Silver

1512
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 7: has as far as how many games he can suspend

1513
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 7: someone based on what happens on the floor, but I

1514
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 7: thought five considering Draymond Green's history, was a little lenient.

1515
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 7: And I'm just tired of Draymond Green and his supporters

1516
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 7: hiding behind the guys. Well, if you take away that

1517
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 7: sort of stuff away from him, they take away his edge.

1518
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 1: That's the way that he plays.

1519
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,719
Speaker 7: And look, Bernie, you have covered you know, the NBA,

1520
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 7: You've covered sports for a long period of time, you

1521
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 7: were in Detroit for a while. Who was tougher a

1522
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 7: great defender than say a guy like Ben Wallace. I mean,

1523
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 7: one of the toughest, one of the grittiest, toughest players

1524
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,879
Speaker 7: on the floor, but off the floor, soft spoken, very thoughtful.

1525
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 7: Outside of the malice at the Palace where he shoved

1526
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 7: on our test, I really can't think of many plays

1527
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 7: where on the court he lost his cool and you know,

1528
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 7: hit somebody below the belt, or trip somebody or did

1529
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 7: something malicious under the guys of well, this is just

1530
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 7: tough and it's his edge, you know.

1531
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot Joe Kim Noah.

1532
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:37,759
Speaker 7: Now, he set some stuff in the media that turned

1533
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:39,799
Speaker 7: some people off at times, but no one ever criticized

1534
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 7: him for being a dirty player.

1535
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 1: He was tough, he had edge to him. That's fine.

1536
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 1: You can be tough and have edge without being dirty.

1537
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 7: And Dreamond Green throughout the course of his entire career

1538
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 7: has been dirty. And I'm just tired of people defending

1539
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:53,599
Speaker 7: him saying, well, if you take that away from him,

1540
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 7: you know, that's the way that he plays, he won't

1541
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 7: be as effective of a basketball player. That's just not

1542
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 7: a justification for the way that he plays. You can

1543
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 7: have both. You can be a tough, gritty defensive player

1544
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 7: and not be a dirty player.

1545
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: And for too much of his career he's been a

1546
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:06,759
Speaker 1: dirty player.

1547
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 2: You covered a lot of good ground there, and interestingly enough,

1548
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 2: tomorrow Sunday is November nineteenth. It's the nineteenth anniversary of

1549
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 2: the Mouse at the Palace. I was there that night

1550
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 2: doing a remote and I covered the two thousand and

1551
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 2: four Pistons NBA Championship team. Ben Wallace was on that team.

1552
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 2: Rashid Wallace was on that team, Tayshawn Prince, and of

1553
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 2: course remember the original Bad Boys with Joe Dumars. Dennis

1554
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 2: Rodmin was a superb defender. Throughout the years, there have

1555
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 2: been a lot of great, tenacious man defenders. Draymond seems

1556
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 2: to take a perverse pleasure in stirring the pot in

1557
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,599
Speaker 2: a very odd, dangerous way. And I'm glad you mentioned

1558
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 2: the mouse at the Palace because there's a bit of

1559
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:55,480
Speaker 2: a backstory there. Rick Carlisle came to town, he'd been unceremonies.

1560
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,559
Speaker 2: He fired, but it was really spontaneous combustion with a

1561
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:00,760
Speaker 2: minute thirty eight to go in a game game when

1562
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,600
Speaker 2: the Pistons were down by eighteen. It's almost somewhat surprising,

1563
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:09,320
Speaker 2: given Draymond Green's history and his body at work, that

1564
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 2: he hasn't lit the fuse for another another potential malice

1565
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,879
Speaker 2: at the Palace, because I don't think I think fans

1566
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 2: and he ages him on. I mean, he waves and

1567
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 2: looks at him and it's almost like he looks goofy, right,

1568
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 2: it looks looks like Milt Brooks from Thunderdome. It makes

1569
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 2: him stupid, right. My question to you is how much longer.

1570
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 2: Do you think the Warriors put up with this? He

1571
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:35,760
Speaker 2: cost him a season last year, he cost him a

1572
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 2: championship in twenty sixteen. The four championships that the Warriors

1573
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 2: have won, notwithstanding which Draymond clearly contributed to, has that shift,

1574
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 2: sailors the juice no longer worth the squeeze. If you

1575
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 2: were the GM, would you move him?

1576
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:51,680
Speaker 1: Well, that's tough. So you just signed him to an

1577
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: extension this past offseason.

1578
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 7: You know, if there was going to be a time

1579
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:56,640
Speaker 7: to cut bait, I would have thought would have been

1580
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 7: in the offseason. But they signed him to what forty

1581
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 7: sixty I think somewhat million dollar contract through twenty twenty

1582
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 7: six So I get the question there, Bernie, is if

1583
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 7: you're going to move off of him, who would take them?

1584
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 7: I think Draymond Green, throughout the course of his career

1585
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 7: really has been very fortunate and has played a very

1586
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 7: specific role on the team that he is on. You know,

1587
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,120
Speaker 7: you play with Klay Thompson and Steph Curry, and even

1588
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 7: before Kevin Durant was there, there are still a great team.

1589
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 7: He played in a very specific role and was a

1590
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:25,720
Speaker 7: great fit for how that team was built. But I'd

1591
01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 7: always said, if you take Draymond Green and put him

1592
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 7: in a random town with put him on.

1593
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 1: The Detroit Pistons, he's a shot.

1594
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 7: He's a shell of what he actually is because he

1595
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 7: plays a specific role within the system that they have.

1596
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,120
Speaker 7: So Draymond Green as solid of a player as he

1597
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 7: is within the system they have at Golden State, I

1598
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 7: don't think he's a plug and play player and it

1599
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 7: could have the same effectiveness if you just trade him anywhere.

1600
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 2: I need to kind of ask the question rhetorically, but

1601
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 2: believe it or not, you do I think would.

1602
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 7: Take him The Lakers who with Lebron, Yeah.

1603
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 2: I think they would. I think they'd figure out a

1604
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 2: way to make the money work. And if I'm not mistake,

1605
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,799
Speaker 2: who is Lebron lobbying to end up with if Golden

1606
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 2: State didn't sign him, I forget what was it the Lakers?

1607
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 2: Was it? Was there a Dallion stare with. I don't

1608
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 2: know if it was the Clippers. I thought it might

1609
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 2: have been the Lakers, But you know, look, you cover

1610
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 2: a lot of good ground. Patrick Sweaker, what are your

1611
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:17,080
Speaker 2: thoughts on Draymond Green?

1612
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 8: Well, I'm not really surprised by just the most it's

1613
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:24,799
Speaker 8: just the most recent of what's Draymond doing? Everybody, it's

1614
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 8: him doing that. I won't lie him headlocking Rudy Gobert.

1615
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 8: I was like, wow, just him doing that too, just

1616
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 8: the French rejection. He's a seven foot tall guy, and

1617
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 8: I'm like, jeez, he's got him.

1618
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:38,679
Speaker 1: And then I'm not.

1619
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:40,120
Speaker 2: Surprised he came from behind.

1620
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:40,599
Speaker 1: That's true.

1621
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 8: He didn't get him from behind, so it's fair. But

1622
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:45,960
Speaker 8: I was like, wow, and all that stuff, and it's

1623
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 8: it's getting it's wearing very thin. I've been pretty much

1624
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:53,120
Speaker 8: like the biggest like Warriors hater for a while. I'm

1625
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:55,200
Speaker 8: a Laker fan, so of course I don't like the Wars.

1626
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 8: I love Steph and all that stuff what they do,

1627
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 8: but you know, it's that that rivalry and like, uh,

1628
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:04,719
Speaker 8: they're you know, Northern California types. Uh, but no, Draymond

1629
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 8: got gotta gotta gotta stay keep it real with so

1630
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 8: Cal you know. But uh, Draymond Green was He's always

1631
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 8: been that guy, and he's always been like, you know,

1632
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 8: the big guy that's you know, he ruffles a lot

1633
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 8: of feathers with a lot with not just like you know, players,

1634
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 8: but also rivaling fan bases and whatnot. Uh, and you know,

1635
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 8: he heckles everybody, and he he's good at what he does.

1636
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 8: He's good in being a bad boy. But I agree

1637
01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 8: with what Figgy says and that you know, you can

1638
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 8: be a really good defender and you know, just super

1639
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 8: super good and super tough and even borderline aggressive without

1640
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,720
Speaker 8: having to be dirty. And it's just he he likes

1641
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 8: to make his cake and eat it too. With that,

1642
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 8: and it's it's a little it's obviously gone to that

1643
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 8: point where it's getting too much. Uh that five game suspension,

1644
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 8: I honestly it should have been more. But maybe that

1645
01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:58,360
Speaker 8: maybe this is kind of like a little bit of

1646
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,720
Speaker 8: a saying, hey, you do something thing one more time,

1647
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,599
Speaker 8: We're going to up this like way a little bit higher.

1648
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

1649
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,040
Speaker 8: Maybe this was just like a warning to him that

1650
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 8: don't like to kind of tone it down, which I

1651
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 8: doubt he's gonna really tone anything down. He's and they've

1652
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 8: had plenty of opportunity and he doesn't really He still

1653
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:15,720
Speaker 8: keeps doing his stuff. Now as far as like how

1654
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 8: long will they you know, keep Draymond, I mean new contract,

1655
01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 8: I would say if he keeps doing it, maybe midway

1656
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 8: through his extension, then they'll be like, all right, we

1657
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 8: got to move on from so maybe he's going to.

1658
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,439
Speaker 2: Keep doing it. He listened. I mean you mentioned you

1659
01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 2: said something a minute ago. He's excuse me, he's always

1660
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 2: been this way. Well, Wednesday, his suspension was the fifth

1661
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 2: and his career in the NBA as a result of

1662
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 2: his part, you know, in the in the altercation with

1663
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:49,280
Speaker 2: with Minnesota. Right, we've already explained what happened, and the NBA.

1664
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,600
Speaker 2: NBA even noted the other day that the end that

1665
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 2: the this was his first multi game punishment is five games.

1666
01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 2: And again the quote was from the NBA based in

1667
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 2: part of his history of uns sportsman like acts. Let's

1668
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:04,000
Speaker 2: take a look at those. Remember, he was just suspended

1669
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 2: seven months ago for one game during the playoffs for

1670
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 2: stepping on Demonas Sabonis. He was Game two Western Conference

1671
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:15,679
Speaker 2: first Round against Sacramento. Draymond was ejected. He got assessed

1672
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:20,080
Speaker 2: a flagrant two foul. He stepped on Demonas Sabonis in

1673
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Now, Sabonis grabbed Green's leg while he

1674
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 2: was on the floor, and he was issued a technical foul,

1675
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 2: but when the rest reviewed to play, the determined the

1676
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 2: degree of the foul. Green walks back to the Warriors bench,

1677
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:35,800
Speaker 2: waving his hands as if to encourage the crowd to

1678
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 2: continue buying them. Remember this was on the road. Golden

1679
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 2: State lost that night one fourteen, one oh six. They

1680
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,120
Speaker 2: went down two games a zip in the series. The

1681
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 2: NBA suspended Green for game three. Golden State went on

1682
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 2: to beat the Kings in six games, but they get

1683
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 2: twisted up. Draymond steps on his chest, gets issued at

1684
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 2: technical suspended a game that was just last April, so

1685
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 2: multiple four. In March, drey Mound was suspended one game

1686
01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:07,839
Speaker 2: because he had gotten his sixteenth technical foul of the season.

1687
01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 2: It was a simple game, regular season game in March

1688
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 2: mid March against the Clippers, Green got a sixteenth technical

1689
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 2: foul that necessitates a one game ban. Now why did

1690
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 2: he get it? The Clippers Avika Zubach. He makes a

1691
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 2: hook shot and Green was in the process of trying

1692
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:33,640
Speaker 2: to defend him, was inadvertently bumped off balanced by Russell Westbrook.

1693
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:36,839
Speaker 2: He come crashing in the corner for an offensive rebound.

1694
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 2: The ball goes through the hoop lands in Green's hands.

1695
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 2: As he turns around, what does he do? Throws the

1696
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:49,519
Speaker 2: ball off Russell Westbrook's head. Westbrook and George motioned to

1697
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:54,360
Speaker 2: the referee, the refs give Green a technical stupid, and

1698
01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:56,719
Speaker 2: Green and hinted to reporters after the game that perhaps

1699
01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 2: the league would rescind one of his previous fifteen technicals.

1700
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 2: Why would they do that? Stupid? They didn't. He got

1701
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 2: a suspension now. Prior to that, you have to go

1702
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:14,439
Speaker 2: back to November of twenty eighteen for Draymond's second career,

1703
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 2: second career suspension. I bet you remember it. Uh, he

1704
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:26,719
Speaker 2: was joined with Kevin Durant and in the team huddle

1705
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 2: and they had beaten or actually they just lost to

1706
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:35,000
Speaker 2: the Clippers sixteen on the road, and the players and

1707
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 2: coaches had to separate both of them. But the back

1708
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:43,040
Speaker 2: and forth didn't stop. Okay, apparently it stems it'd stemmed

1709
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 2: from a disagreement that apparently during the game, Green had

1710
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 2: a wide open Kevin Durant decided not to pass in

1711
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 2: the ball in the final seconds, and it became more

1712
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 2: personal when Draymond confronted Durant and his impending free agency

1713
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 2: well the Warriors. The Warriors suspended Green without paying for

1714
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 2: the following game against Atlanta, and at the time, their

1715
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 2: gedo manager basically said, we felt like this rolls to

1716
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 2: the level of acting the way he did warranted a suspension,

1717
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 2: so he was suspended by his own team. And of course,

1718
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 2: to me, the most famous or infamous suspension was in

1719
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 2: June of twenty sixteen. I alluded to this earlier. It

1720
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,720
Speaker 2: was Game four of the twenty sixteen NBA Finals, when

1721
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 2: Lebron was still with Cleveland, the Warriors were leading, there

1722
01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 2: were three minutes to play. Draymond Green and Lebron James

1723
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 2: got tangled up near mid court. Green hits the deck

1724
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:44,000
Speaker 2: and while getting up, what does he do? Takes a

1725
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:46,680
Speaker 2: swipe at Lebron in another region. Yeah, you know what

1726
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 2: I'm talking about, ding dong. The two went at each other.

1727
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 2: On the next play, both players got technical files. Green

1728
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 2: received a flagrant one, but then the league reviewed the

1729
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:02,880
Speaker 2: incident and this decided Draymond would serve a one game

1730
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 2: suspension without pay. A Game five that changed the arc

1731
01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 2: of that series. Cleveland was down three games to one,

1732
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 2: the Warriors were leading in Game four. Okay, Green doesn't

1733
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 2: play Game five. You know what happened. Cleveland comes back

1734
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 2: to win the next three games, and based on a

1735
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 2: points syst and there's aculative points system that's designed to

1736
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 2: deter flagrant files. And at the time, the vice president

1737
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 2: of operations was Kecky Vandaway, and he said, quote, while

1738
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:35,600
Speaker 2: Draymond Green's actions in Game four did not merit a

1739
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 2: suspension as a standalone act, He's accumulated enough flagrant points

1740
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 2: to trigger a suspension for Game five. And if you

1741
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 2: don't think that was a factor. And the Cavaliers winning

1742
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 2: the twenty sixteen NBA Championship after toiling three to one

1743
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 2: of the series, then you weren't watching. That's my beef

1744
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:57,520
Speaker 2: with Draymond Green. The juice doesn't anymore worth the squeeze.

1745
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:00,599
Speaker 2: Coming up, we get to Chris Perffet's world a sad Acckerbin. First,

1746
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 2: let's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures, who technically

1747
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 2: will tell it like it.

1748
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,400
Speaker 1: Is absolutely Barnie.

1749
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 7: We'll go to the NBA from Friday night, the Clippers

1750
01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 7: snapping a six game losing streak. They beat the Rockets

1751
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 7: at Crypto dot Com Areno. One oh six to one hundred.

1752
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:18,880
Speaker 7: James Harden just missed the triple double twenty four point

1753
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 7: seven assists and nine rebounds.

1754
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: Nikolea.

1755
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 7: Jokic did have a triple double eighteen assists, a career

1756
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 7: high in that triple double, but it wasn't a losing efforts.

1757
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 7: Ion Williamson scoring twenty six as the Pelicans beat Denver

1758
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:33,760
Speaker 7: one fifteen to one hundred, Lebron James tying his season

1759
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:36,519
Speaker 7: high thirty five points. He also had nine assists, leading

1760
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 7: the Lakers over the Trailblazers one oh seven to ninety five.

1761
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant scored thirty eight points to leave Phoenix over

1762
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:45,559
Speaker 7: Utah one thirty one to one, twenty eight. Five straight

1763
01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 7: wins for the King seven straight losses for the Spurs

1764
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 7: as Sacramento beat San Antonio one twenty nine to one,

1765
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 7: twenty forty three points for de Aaron Fox in that one.

1766
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 7: In college football, Washington State mollywop Colorado fifty six to fourteen.

1767
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:00,919
Speaker 7: Five straight losses there for the Buffs. They are officially

1768
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 7: eliminated from bowl contention. Texas San Antonio improved to eight

1769
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:06,839
Speaker 7: and three and seven to zero in the American Athletic

1770

1775
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:21,559
Speaker 1: Back to Bernie Fredos.

1776
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 2: All right, thanks buddy. So we covered all as you know.

1777
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 2: And the funny thing about soccer, which is the biggest

1778
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 2: sport in the world they call it football in other countries,

1779
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 2: is oftentimes there's great action on the field and great

1780
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 2: stories off the field. That's why we bring you each

1781
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 2: week at this time, Chris Purfetz, World of Soccer.

1782
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 9: The greatest Schools, the thrilling finishes, the international drum, Tipo Heim.

1783
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 10: It's all here on this report from the World of Soccer.

1784
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:04,800
Speaker 10: On this World of Soccer, Bernie, we're going to take

1785
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 10: you around the globe. It is yet again another international break.

1786
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 10: I don't know how we keep coming up with so

1787
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,000
Speaker 10: many of these. They seem to just pop out out

1788
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 10: of nowhere. There's nothing I could do about it. Just

1789
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:20,960
Speaker 10: repeatedly international breaks interrupt our world of soccer. But it

1790
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 10: does mean the US men's national team is in action.

1791
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 10: Here they are playing in the quarterfinals here of the

1792
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:32,000
Speaker 10: CONCA CAFF Nations League. Now this year the Nations League

1793
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:35,600
Speaker 10: does carry a qualifier for the Copa America, which is

1794
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 10: going to be held in twenty twenty four here in

1795
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 10: the United States. In North America, it's going to be

1796
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:43,519
Speaker 10: a very big deal to have the Honka CAFF Nations

1797
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:47,680
Speaker 10: being able to participate in the Copa America, one of

1798
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:51,679
Speaker 10: the two greatest off year away from FIFA World Cup

1799
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 10: tournaments that exist with the South American Nations, and US

1800
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 10: got out to a quick start here from Thursday where

1801
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,559
Speaker 10: on the court final Leg one, kicking the butts of

1802
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:05,840
Speaker 10: Trinidad and Tobago two for the price of one three

1803
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 10: to nil.

1804
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 1: They'll be playing again on Monday.

1805
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 10: Seeing as the United States have won the last two

1806
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 10: finals that have existed out there for the CONCACAFF Nations League,

1807
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 10: it seems only fitting that I think there's really no

1808
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:22,880
Speaker 10: one else but the United States, who is a heavy

1809
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 10: favorite to win this year once again. But there was

1810
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:29,400
Speaker 10: actually news from the other side of the American soccer

1811
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 10: world as the US women's team was granted a new manager.

1812
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 10: We had talked about the fallout from the Women's World

1813
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:39,680
Speaker 10: Cup about the dismissal of their previous manager, and now

1814
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 10: the US is appointed Emma Hayes, formerly the manager of

1815
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:48,799
Speaker 10: the women's side at Chelsea Over to become the manager

1816
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 10: of the United States women's national team on a contract

1817
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 10: through twenty twenty seven, with numbers that make her the

1818
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 10: highest paid women's soccer coach in the world, which is

1819
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 10: befitting because because really United States should be spending money

1820
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 10: out there for its women's product. And indeed part of

1821
01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 10: the extra pay also comes in that. That was also

1822
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:11,879
Speaker 10: what was needed to really coax Hayes away from playing

1823
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 10: at Chelsea, a very big club for the women's Premier

1824
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 10: League and for you know, her career, to come to

1825
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 10: the United States and get to deal with a new

1826
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 10: changing of the guard on the national team. Emma Hayes,

1827
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 10: well born in the United Kingdom in London, has coached

1828
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:31,600
Speaker 10: quite often and been a manager quite often in the

1829
01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:35,320
Speaker 10: United States, starting mostly in a lot of places like

1830
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 10: Long Island, Lady Writers, the Iona Gaels, and then spending

1831
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 10: about three years with the Chicago Red Stars, and for

1832
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:46,040
Speaker 10: the past eleven years or so, she has brought Chelsea

1833
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 10: quite a bit of success for its women's team. She

1834
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 10: is regarded very well across the women's soccer world and

1835
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,720
Speaker 10: getting her is nothing short of a coup for the

1836
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 10: United States. Now, unfortunately, she's going to be having the

1837
01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 10: lead Chelsea on a bit of a sour note. Two

1838
01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 10: two very big incorrect refereeing decisions ended up batching Chelsea's

1839
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:15,320
Speaker 10: win in a in a Champions League draw with Real Madrid.

1840
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:20,840
Speaker 10: She slammed the officiating there, said they were robbed, embarrassing,

1841
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:23,680
Speaker 10: So kind of leaving there on a bit of a

1842
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 10: sour note. Once Chelsea Women's club's season is over, but

1843
01:46:28,920 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 10: let's leave the United States alone. We'll come back to

1844
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,679
Speaker 10: them in a little bit. Let's talk instead about what's

1845
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 10: been going on in Euro qualifying. Euro twenty twenty four

1846
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 10: is that other fantastic in between World Cup tournaments I

1847
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 10: was talking about. Euro twenty twenty was a fantastic spectacle.

1848
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:49,360
Speaker 10: It was on a lot in the United States and

1849
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 10: it got people on Fox Sports Radio talking about it.

1850
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:55,400
Speaker 10: And it has a lot to do because the final

1851
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:59,200
Speaker 10: was between England, one of the greatest clubs, I mean,

1852
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:01,599
Speaker 10: one of the greatests in the world for the game

1853
01:47:01,640 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 10: of soccer, and Italy historic, storied, so many great players

1854
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 10: that have come through and played for the Italian national team,

1855
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 10: and we've got a bit of a tale of both

1856
01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 10: worlds happening here. For England, they're at the top of

1857
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 10: their group for euroqualifying and they they're considered to breeze

1858
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:21,160
Speaker 10: on through straight we'll see them back here and once

1859
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 10: again being one of the strongest sides to take the

1860
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 10: field in Euros. Italy in Group C is a little

1861
01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 10: bit of a different story. They did beat North Macedonia

1862
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 10: five to two in the ninth of ten match days,

1863
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:39,760
Speaker 10: two goals scored by Federick Cochisa, who is fantastic and wonderful,

1864
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:42,680
Speaker 10: wonderful to watch. But it's a bit of a revenge

1865
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 10: game because we have to rewind to the World Cup

1866
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:51,040
Speaker 10: qualifiers of years prior, where Italy failed to make the

1867
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:56,599
Speaker 10: World Cup because of North Macedonia. And so let's turn

1868
01:47:56,640 --> 01:48:00,440
Speaker 10: back the clocks to twenty fifth of March twenty two,

1869
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:04,439
Speaker 10: where coming off of Euro twenty twenty, Italy was riding

1870
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 10: high but had an incredibly disappointing Yuwaifa qualifying for the

1871
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 10: World Cup season and the final blow came where all

1872
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:16,880
Speaker 10: they really needed was just to hang on and not

1873
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 10: lose to North Macedonia and high, this great Italian team

1874
01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:26,200
Speaker 10: with a great goalkeeper, with everything they had behind them,

1875
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 10: with the Azuri in their prime, just fell on a

1876
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:36,600
Speaker 10: one nil loss to North Macedonia that deprived the Italians

1877
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:40,960
Speaker 10: of their second World Cup in a row. They have

1878
01:48:41,120 --> 01:48:44,719
Speaker 10: not won a knockout round game in a World Cup

1879
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:48,519
Speaker 10: since they last won the World Cup itself back in

1880
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 10: two thousand and six. They have missed the last two

1881
01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 10: World Cups, and to be honest, it is a pal

1882
01:48:55,600 --> 01:49:01,080
Speaker 10: upon their entire entire team into on their entire nation.

1883
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 10: This is a country that expects to be there playing

1884
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 10: in World Cups. So they have one more match here

1885
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 10: coming up. It's against Ukraine. Both teams have thirteen points,

1886
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:15,479
Speaker 10: sitting and jockeying for second place behind England already through

1887
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 10: in Groups C, so Italy holds a lot of the

1888
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 10: tiebreaker scenarios. So I imagine what they just need to not

1889
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 10: lose to Ukraine, which again famous last words here. If

1890
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 10: they're not qualifying for euro twenty twenty four, it could

1891
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:35,680
Speaker 10: be another rough campaign for the Azuri as a powerhouse

1892
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:39,160
Speaker 10: of Europe continues to try to reclaim some of its glory.

1893
01:49:39,600 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 10: And finally, Bernie, we like friendlies, We always like friendlies,

1894
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:45,800
Speaker 10: and indeed we got some great news here this week

1895
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 10: where Barcelona storied, storied Barcelona announced this week they will

1896
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 10: be playing a friendly in the United States. At the

1897
01:49:54,920 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 10: Cotton Bowl. Yeah, not Jerry's World, the old Cotton Bowl.

1898
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:02,479
Speaker 10: Talk about bowl season. December twenty first, Barcelona will be

1899
01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:05,840
Speaker 10: taking on the Mexican Giants Club America. That should be

1900
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 10: a fantastic match, something to fit in there with all

1901
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 10: the other college football bowl games you'll be watching, So

1902
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:13,519
Speaker 10: watch out for the other bowl game coming up here

1903
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 10: as we see you next time on the World of Soccer.

1904
01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:19,559
Speaker 2: There you have a Chrispopherfett's World of Soccer. There's always

1905
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:23,160
Speaker 2: plenty of action on and off the field. And remember

1906
01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 2: heading into twenty twenty four, the next big event we

1907
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:31,519
Speaker 2: point toward the Paris Olympics coming up. We wrap up

1908
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:34,640
Speaker 2: the show and we talk a little bit about a

1909
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:38,639
Speaker 2: theory my good buddy Mark Lawrence has having to do

1910
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:44,280
Speaker 2: with undefeated college teams in the month of November and

1911
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:48,080
Speaker 2: feeling the noose tightening and the pressure to keep your

1912
01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 2: season undefeated. And there's a direct correlation with that pressure

1913
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:57,400
Speaker 2: and how they do against the spread. College Football Week

1914

Speaker 2: twelve resumes here seven hours in twenty minutes. I'm Bernie Friddle.

01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 2: by the way, we'll be back on these airwaves again

1929
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:51,560
Speaker 2: Saturday night, eleven pm Pacific. We'll have a full recap

1930
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:55,840
Speaker 2: of the day in college football. We'll look ahead to

1931
01:51:55,920 --> 01:52:01,720
Speaker 2: the NFL our usual NBA updates and got some interesting features.

1932
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 2: As per usual, will dive into Patrick Mahomes and his

1933
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:11,280
Speaker 2: odd superstition and maybe take a walk down memory lane

1934
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:17,400
Speaker 2: as some other famous superstitions of other athletes. November for

1935
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:21,680
Speaker 2: the Better be e tt or people who like to

1936
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:27,000
Speaker 2: bet and pretty much everybody bets now. They pretty much

1937
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:29,559
Speaker 2: did before, but now it's come out into the open.

1938
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:34,439
Speaker 2: Legan I believe thirty one states November might be the

1939
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:36,880
Speaker 2: best month of the season for sports fans, especially for

1940
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 2: sports fans who like to bet. Why in the NFL,

1941
01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:43,479
Speaker 2: we're now in the second half. Race races are taking shape,

1942
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 2: story lounges are taking shape. The games have serious consequences.

1943
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:52,200
Speaker 2: College football is starting to wind down. Teams are scurrying

1944
01:52:52,240 --> 01:52:56,639
Speaker 2: for bull bids. The NHL is here, the NBA is back,

1945
01:52:57,040 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 2: college basketball is underway. Even baseball just had it to

1946
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:02,759
Speaker 2: win our meetings. We'll talk about the age to Vegas

1947
01:53:02,800 --> 01:53:07,439
Speaker 2: on Saturday night. As the owners voted unanimously to bring

1948
01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:10,960
Speaker 2: the Oakland A's to Las Vegas, a lot has to happen.

1949
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 2: They won't play a game here before twenty twenty eight,

1950
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:19,320
Speaker 2: but they did cross a major hurdle. Interestingly enough, back

1951
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 2: to the betting aspect, some of the best value occurs

1952
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:29,560
Speaker 2: when you look at college football teams who in November

1953
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:33,439
Speaker 2: are still undefeated at this stage of the season. My

1954
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 2: good buddy Mark Lawrence, who produces Playbook, one of the

1955
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:44,360
Speaker 2: finest sports publications out there, has coined his NEOs his

1956
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:47,800
Speaker 2: tightening reducts, and it seems to be true every year.

1957
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:52,599
Speaker 2: Every week that goes by in college football and your

1958
01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:56,800
Speaker 2: team is undefeated, there's pressure and you're gonna pay for it.

1959
01:53:56,880 --> 01:54:00,760
Speaker 2: By the way, in the line, you know, the Michigan's

1960
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 2: laying nineteen at Maryland Saturday. The Ohio State's laying a bundles.

1961
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:10,879
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, there are five undefeated teams left standing Georgia,

1962
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Michigan, Florida State, and Washington. Okay, and if

1963
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:19,599
Speaker 2: you go back to nineteen eighty, you want to test

1964
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:25,760
Speaker 2: Mark Lawrence's nooses tightening philosophy. It gets tighter and tire

1965
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:28,559
Speaker 2: every week, especially when these teams go on the road.

1966
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:34,080
Speaker 2: And since nineteen eighty, undefeated college football teams playing in

1967
01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:38,320
Speaker 2: the regular season on the road after Week ten, which

1968
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 2: we are now passed, they win. They're won thirty six

1969
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 2: and forty seven, but against the spread, they're only forty

1970
01:54:47,240 --> 01:54:52,440
Speaker 2: four percent. So look at Washington. They're on the road,

1971
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:54,600
Speaker 2: but they're not a favorite. They are another dog to

1972
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 2: Oregon State. Frankly, you heard Brad Powers early in the

1973
01:54:57,840 --> 01:54:59,760
Speaker 2: first hour of the show. We believe Washington could be

1974
01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 2: in ruble Saturday, night Michigan. Do I expect them to

1975
01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:07,600
Speaker 2: lose to Maryland. No, but I'm not laying nineteen points

1976
01:55:07,680 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 2: on the road, especially given what's going on in Michigan

1977
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 2: this week. Georgia another big time road favorite. They're tremendous.

1978
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:16,760
Speaker 2: Don't know that they want to get away of them.

1979
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:20,600
Speaker 2: But the bottom line is he's undefeated. College football teams

1980
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:24,120
Speaker 2: that go on the road after Week ten, well you

1981
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:26,920
Speaker 2: heard much. You heard the stats going back forty years

1982
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:31,120
Speaker 2: worse when they're installed as conference road favors, they're even worse.

1983
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 2: They're only fifty five and eighty against the spread and

1984
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:38,240
Speaker 2: forty two and sixty three when they're not favored. And

1985
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:41,600
Speaker 2: a lot of these times, a lot of times these teams,

1986
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:44,520
Speaker 2: honest to god, they're really favored by a bundle. You

1987
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:47,920
Speaker 2: want to have some more fun. For whatever reason. And

1988
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:51,400
Speaker 2: by the way, the Ohio State Buckeyes and they play

1989
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 2: Minnesota Saturday, they're undefeated as well. For whatever reason, Game

1990
01:55:58,160 --> 01:56:02,440
Speaker 2: eleven has been the bane of Ohio States existence. In

1991
01:56:02,480 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 2: the last nine years. There are only one and eight

1992
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:10,640
Speaker 2: against the spread heading into their Week eleven game. Now,

1993
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:13,280
Speaker 2: maybe it's because the Week eleven game, Week twelve game

1994
01:56:14,360 --> 01:56:16,920
Speaker 2: is always Michigan. They always play Michigan the final game

1995
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:20,440
Speaker 2: of the season. Arguably the greatest rivalry in all the sports,

1996
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 2: has started as a land war one hundred years ago.

1997
01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:27,440
Speaker 2: But some of these teams are laying a lot of points,

1998
01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be fun to watch Saturday, because if

1999
01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 2: Washington loses, you might start to see a little chaos here.

2000
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:37,920
Speaker 2: Right now, the college football playoff races straightforward. There's five

2001
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:41,720
Speaker 2: undefeated teams, and if four of those five teams remain undefeated,

2002
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 2: it'll make the committee's job relatively simple to pick off

2003
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:47,880
Speaker 2: the four playoff teams. You can call it a playoff,

2004
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:52,200
Speaker 2: you know what. I call it the made for TV

2005
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:56,040
Speaker 2: Invitational Tournament because that's the way it is now in

2006
01:56:56,040 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 2: some shops. Michigan is laying twenty one even Penn State,

2007
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 2: they've got two losses. Feels like a real dream crusher game.

2008
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 2: They're laying twenty against Rutgers. There's no way. Ohio State's

2009
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:11,400
Speaker 2: laying twenty eight against Pence against Minnesota, and you might

2010
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:14,400
Speaker 2: have to hold your nose, but grabbing Minnesota plus the

2011
01:57:14,440 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 2: twenty eight might be the right side because there is

2012
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 2: pressure and they're expensive. I remember Ohio State's got Michigan

2013
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 2: next week and they have to go to Michigan. So

2014
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 2: as we wind it down and the college football playoff

2015
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 2: potentially takes shape, remember there are five undefeated teams Saturday

2016
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:35,440
Speaker 2: that will tee it up, and if history has passed

2017
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 2: his prologue, they're gonna have trouble covering the spread to

2018
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:43,040
Speaker 2: the tune of forty four percent of the time. That's

2019
01:57:43,080 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 2: gonna do it. For the Bernie Frale Show Friday night edition.

2020
