12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: recording with you for a week, literally just seven days

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: of not recording. I was hungry for a snack before

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: we started. I said, I'm gonna get a little bit

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: of a snack. Had some almonds, and I was like,

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: I wants a little bit more. And I took a

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: spoon and I took some peanut butter, and then I

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: was like, this doesn't feel like the thing to eat

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: before talking for a long time, like I was mister

20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: ed smacking my lips and teeth together, and so I

21
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: fear made myself a cup of tea. So hopefully I

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: sound as if I am a human speaking for the

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 2: next I don't know dozens of minutes or so. As

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: we go into what the Verballers grievances bracket. Thankfully none

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,160

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: The Verbaaler's regions of our college football minor grievances bracket.

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: So go back and listen to the last episode that

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: we put out. Those were the first two regions of

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: which the fourth down and short midfield punting situation with

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: the announcers cheering it on, that emerged as the winner

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: of the Dan and Tye regions. What we did after

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: that show was we put out a call to the

49
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: verballer hood. We said, by air, by land, by sea, however,

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: you can get us your suggestions for the next two regions,

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: the next grouping of thirty two things that we're going

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: to talk through. Get it to us. We're going to

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: put it together. We're going to do it as part

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: of our next episode. We needed to take off on

55
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: Thursday to collect all of these. Okay, we have not

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: taken a day off in ye. I went through it

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: this morning. It took me about three and a half

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: hours to go through all of the suggestions that were

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: sent in to pair them up accordingly. We got such

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: a response to this. I think we expected it. I

61
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: don't know if I expected it quite to this degree.

62
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: So we appreciate everybody who sends something in. Lord knows

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: I read through you read that. We all read through

64
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: all of the suggestions that came in, and we did

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: our best to try and pick which one should be

66
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: paired up, which one should be part of this next

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: grouping of thirty two. Again, I emphasized, this is the

68
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: minor grievances. So we had some that I looked at

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: and I said, that's a good one. Seems a little

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: bit more than minor. I got a really good one.

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Got to leave it out right, So if you're not

72
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: featured as part of this bracket, we did read it.

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: We do appreciate it pretty much. Everyone that was sent

74
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: in was awesome. I just had to whittle it down.

75
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: We had a whittle it down, such as the nature

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: of the beast. When you do these types of brackets.

77
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: Stand agree. And we have a final four in basketball too, right,

78
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: we do?

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Good.

80
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: Good for all of our Purdue, Alabama, Yukon fans, NC

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: State fans. NC State has DJ Burns. I can name

82
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: two players in the final four. Pretty proud of myself, right,

83
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: Dj Burns and Zach Edy, so perdue broke through. Good

84
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: for all of our our Boiler macer fans.

85
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Let's do it before us today. And we've got thirty

86
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: two things that were sent in from the college football

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: community that we know lovingly as the verbawler hood. Yes,

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: put out that call after last episode, send in your

89
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: minor college football grievances. Here is the next batch of

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: thirty two. Let's go to verboler Region one. This one's

91
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: sent in from Austin via email. This one's sent in

92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: in on Patreon, from Emery on Instagram. From Philip Murphy

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: twenty two. This was a popular one, probably has a

94
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: case to be made as the number one overall seed

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: in this entire tournament. And by that, I am referring

96
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: to the commercial kickoff commercial combination. So what we mean

97
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: by that, Right, there's a touchdown, go to commercial come back,

98
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: there's a kickoff, go back to commercial commercial kickoff, commercial combination,

99
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: versus from Kevin on email, the inability of networks to

100
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: noise cancel incessant cow bells during Mississippi State games and

101
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: other crowd shenanigans noises from Kevin on email.

102
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: Okay, so the first one, obviously for sure grievance of

103
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: for sure annoyance. Unless you're tummy's acting up a little bit,

104
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: and if you have your your STUF giving you some

105
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: issues immediately post touchdown, that's a great move, especially if

106
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: you like YouTube TV or Fubo or any of those

107
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: apps on your phone where you know you're not going

108
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: to miss much, but you can bring it to the bathroom. Uh.

109
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: And that's a good little moment to maximize a time

110
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: to empty your bowels. Right, That is probably a good

111
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: thing for those of us who perhaps were a little

112
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: bit too aggressive with coffee in the morning. The other one,

113
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: unless you disagree with that.

114
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: Continue, No, I'm gonna let you talk at this point.

115
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

116
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: The other one. Remind me what it is again. I

117
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: went for too far down the train.

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the inability of networks to noise cancel out.

119
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 2: Oh, noise canceling, yes, yes, yes, old Miss and crowds.

120
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: I assume.

121
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: I assume when I'm saying old Miss, that's an old

122
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: Miss person saying that about Mississippi State or another SEC

123
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: fan saying it about Mississippi State, because I can't imagine

124
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: that you know, a random cal fan or a random

125
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: Texas fan hates the Mississippi State eight cowbells. But I

126
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: understand that if you're watching a game, you want the

127
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: mix to be more about like sounds on the field,

128
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: and you want to understand via the background audio that

129
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: you are in a place. But on the other hand,

130
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: that having the cowbells as part of the background audio

131
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: mix is kind of representative of time and place.

132
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: It's representative. I let me add in addendum here. I

133
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: think the thing that makes me frustrated about the second

134
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: point here the commercials. Commercials, by the way, a very

135
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: popular theme. Everybody was writing it. To the point about

136
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: the commercials, I get that. But the thing about the

137
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: cowbells or any of the crowd shenanigans, the noisemakers in

138
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: the crowd, most if not all, of that stuff is

139
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: pumped in via a crowd bike. Right. Okay, some of

140
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: it might come through on the microphones that are stationed

141
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: throughout the field, but most of it is coming through

142
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: from a microphone pointed directly at the audience.

143
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: And I assume if you have surround sound, that's going

144
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: to be even more pronounced right.

145
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Round sound, you'll you'll definitely pick it up more. But

146
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: the fact that that is coming in via its own

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: microphone means that somebody in the truck is mixing it,

148
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: and sometimes they're a little too heavy handed with it.

149
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: It's a little out of control. It's not just cow

150
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: bells I've heard that before, So this, Kevin, this is

151
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: a really good one. But yeah, the commercials got to

152
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: go through.

153
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: I think commercials got to go through. But yeah, the

154
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: savvier among us no post touchdown. Nice, little time to

155
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: make a visit to the porcelain God.

156
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: All right, Moving on this one from Timmy on Patreon.

157
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: A broadcast that misses the next play while showing your replay.

158
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's awful. Versus one that came in via

159
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: our friend Dan Klobacar on Email Analysts discussing targeting. Oh yeah,

160
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: also good this. This is a very very good matchup.

161
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: So we also had a lot of similarly minded submissions.

162
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: Akin to the broadcast missing in the next play while

163
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: showing a replay. I think just the nature of this

164
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: being a college football grievance thing serves itself well to

165
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: the broadcast because truly minor stuff happens on the broadcast.

166
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: You could argue that almost anything that takes place in

167
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: the field could in essence be very meaningful, be major

168
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: depending on how the game chakes out. But most often,

169
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: if not all the time, whatever goes down on the

170
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: broadcast is minor. Missing the play because the other replay

171
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: is showing is definitely a pain in the ass what

172
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: Dan was going for, Dan klobocar going for with the

173
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: targeting thing here is there always seems to be this

174
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: push pull with the analysts talking about targeting. On one hand,

175
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: if it's obvious if a guy is launching himself with

176
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: the crown of his helmet, it's clear that, by the

177
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: letter of the law, that is targeting. But there is

178
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: this conflict among many analysts, and I don't think you

179
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: and I are any different. I wouldn't even call us

180
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: analysts because targeting definitely gets under people's skin, and there

181
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: is this push pull between Yes, it is against the rules,

182
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: but kind of this deep need to almost defend the

183
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: player trying to make the stop, like what's he supposed

184
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: to do? I'm not sure if this is the way

185
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: that we want this game to go. Now it becomes

186
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: a broader moral conversation. Yeah, exactly.

187
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: So I think the first one easily moves through because

188
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: I think it's more in line with the spirit of

189
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: a minor annoyance. Whereas like announcers have to talk about

190
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: targeting because if a play is called for a targeting review,

191
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: then the.

192
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Announcers have to fill the air right right.

193
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: The announcers are going to have to show replays that

194
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: are going to have to talk about the rule because

195
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: there's a certain subset of the audience that doesn't know

196
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: what targeting is, or only vaguely knows what targeting is,

197
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: or one could argue that the entire audience only vaguely

198
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: knows what targeting is, and so they have to talk

199
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: about the crown of the helmet, They have to about launching,

200
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: they have to about talk about the different elements of

201
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: the rule, even if it's annoying, even if it's arbitrary,

202
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: even if nobody agrees with it, even if it's like

203
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: one of those bang bang plays that when you slow

204
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: it down to a thousand frames per second, yes, of

205
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: course it's targeting. But when you's at full speed, then

206
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: you're understanding why a linebacker would go after that quarterback

207
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: as he's scrambling down the field and doesn't see himself

208
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: giving up by sliding feet first with one thousand frames

209
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: per second of hindsight. So I think it's easily the

210
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: first one because a TV broadcast doesn't have to miss

211
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: time things that you have a concept that a team

212
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: is playing with tempo, that you have a concept that

213
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: this is the rhythm of the game. You have a

214
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: concept of how many seconds of replay is going to take.

215
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: And yes, that if you're watching a game and there

216
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: is a great play or a bang bang play or whatever,

217
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: and you're showing the highlight and then you get like

218
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: the little like Fox wipe or ESPN wipe back to

219
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: the field, and you know, whoever.

220
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: They've they've never been able to solve this problem. Given

221
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: the current state of the hurry up, no huddle offense. Yes,

222
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: they just they can't time it out right.

223
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: Largely, I understand where they're coming from, because a high

224
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: percentage of plays are not going to be crazy to watch.

225
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: It's going to be a three yard run off tackle

226
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: or something, or a tiny little hitch. But yes, if

227
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 2: you get if you come back from the ESPN or

228
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: Fox wipe and like Jovante Carter is seventeen yards down

229
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: the field weaving in and out, You're like, how.

230
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: Do we get it here? What happened? Alright?

231
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: So we're back that one through. That's what I'm putting through. Yeah, sorry,

232
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: it would be Jovante Williams. I just fact checked myself.

233
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 2: I confused him with Michael Carter, let's be clear.

234
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Okay, continuing with the trend, we kind of tried to

235
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: group someone's together here that felt similar. This one comes

236
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: to us from our friend Chris Vanini over at the Athletic. Okay,

237
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: he says, going to commercial during replay reviews, versus from

238
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: Chris on Patreon the broadcast that returns late from commercial

239
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: with the announcers not filling us in on what we missed. Right,

240
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: So kind of both sides of this thing. On one hand,

241
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: you've got the replay review that is ongoing go to commercial.

242
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: On the other, Chris is saying, not only did we

243
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: come back late from the commercial, but the announcers are

244
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: not filling us in on what we missed while we

245
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: were gone, right.

246
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: I think the latter is more annoying. At least there's

247
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: something to be solved with the first one, because we

248
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: get those split screen ads and stadium view at the

249
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 2: same time. Like on the right, they're showing you like

250
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: Carl's juniores depending on where you are, and then on

251
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: the left it's the announcer peering into the like DVR

252
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: sport window on the field. And then you could at

253
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: least even if it's the audio from like the Baconator.

254
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm mixing fast food restaurants right now,

255
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: baconat or commercial.

256
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: I think that's Wendy's. Is it Wendy's? I think so, yeah.

257
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: I think Wendy's is the best sponsor, so not a

258
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: sponsor could be that. At least, if you're seeing the

259
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: field in the split screen, you can see the announcer,

260
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: you know, motion that it's targeting and that somebody's kicked

261
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: out or whatever it is, like, you could at least

262
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: get a concept for it. The second one is inexcusable

263
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: that we returned from commercial and we are supposed to

264
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: guess about what happened during the Hardy's Carls Junior commercial.

265
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: I think that's the more egregious.

266
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: These next two killed me. Okay, okay, we're recording this Monday, April. First,

267
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: solid wife Kate is off. She asked if she could

268
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: sleep in today. I said, of course, enjoy your day,

269
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: enjoy your day. Year over here, I was downstairs chorling

270
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: like an idiot reading these next two. Okay, I'm lucky

271
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: I didn't waker. The first from Kevin is the return

272
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: from Commercial Coach interview, which has only recently become a

273
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: thing on broadcasts.

274
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's taped, it's not live, but yeah, I know,

275
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: but it didn't always used to be like this where

276
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: you got those cut ins with the coaches during the games.

277
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: The second from Jeff via email might be my favorite.

278
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: The mid play celebrity interview. That's good.

279
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: I like that one because it just assumes that people

280
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: are okay with hearing from Kevin Bacon or whoever.

281
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know why it would be really big Bacon

282
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: kick here today continue.

283
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: The bacon eater or Kevin Bacon. Yeah, it's it's under

284
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: there somewhere, it's it's in my subconscious for some reason

285
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: that you know, there was the famous like eminem one

286
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: where he seemed out of sorts, but perhaps as a

287
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: goof with Brent Musburger and Kirk herb Street and Ann Arbor.

288
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: I want to say, yeah, that one's weird because people

289
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: look forward to these games, not even just all week,

290
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: all month, all year, especially if they're a bigger game

291
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: and there's some tie in, whether it's Matthew McConaughey at

292
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: Texas and it's the interviews on the sideline or somebody's

293
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: in the booth because they're promoting a country record and

294
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: they were just on game day at that's the outside

295
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: of the stadium, and it's just so intrusive. It just

296
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: feels like this is this is supposed to be a

297
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: special time, even if your team is a twenty seven

298
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: and a half point underdog, Like you look forward to

299
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: the you know, the eighty or so plays that they

300
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: have the ball, or you know, you look forward to

301
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: seeing specific elements of the game and to just have

302
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: a guy in the booth in that moment or a

303
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: gallon the booth talk about like, yeah, you know, it's

304
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: it's a new album and I was just bone for

305
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: a more mellow vibe. But I would say that's like

306
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: I've always loved college football.

307
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: I you know, I grew up.

308
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: A Texas Tech fan because I was from West Texas.

309
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: And you're just like time and place, everybody, Yeah, time

310
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 2: and place.

311
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: See. I don't a lot of people hate the celebrity

312
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: interview altogether. I don't mind the celebrity interview. I don't

313
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: mind here and who these folks root for getting their

314
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: origin story. There is a time and place for it though. Yeah,

315
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: And the thing that I kept thinking about when I

316
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: read this one from Jeff via email soliverbleotgmail dot com.

317
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: Is the situations where they're interviewing the celebrity or the

318
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: person whoever it is. Yeah, and they have to come

319
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: up with a split window situation. On one hand, they're

320
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: showing you the play. On the other hand, they're showing

321
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: you whoever they're talking to.

322
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: And see, I don't even mind the idea of like

323
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: a guest in the booth during a sporting event. It's

324
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: got to be the right kind of sporting event.

325
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: You want to say.

326
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: It's during an Astros game in early August, right, sure,

327
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 2: absolutely have Casey Musgraves have, eminem have, Will Ferrell have whoever,

328
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: Especially if it's a little bit of a treat as

329
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: Jose al two of a fouls it off behind third base.

330
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: Great college football. We only get so many of these

331
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 2: games seasons. Short rivalries are intense, even if it's like

332
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: kind of a sleepy nooner type of kickoff in early

333
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: September against San Jose State. No disrespect to Spartans, love

334
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: San Jose.

335
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: I don't know.

336
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel like it's really a windows.

337
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: Sport for that kind of thing. All right, Moving on, Yeah,

338
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: the field goal range line from our friend Brian Fremo

339
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: versus interesting versus the kicker you know is going to

340
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: miss it, but the coach sends him out there anyway.

341
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: That one comes via email from Nate. So two of

342
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: these that are similar in theme. I think the beef

343
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: that Brian has with the field goal range line is

344
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: kind of feels arbitrary. You have a sense, right, you

345
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: have a sense for what his range is. You know

346
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: what he's kicked before, you know his career stats, and

347
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: the percentage is yeah, yeah, And there's probably some bit

348
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: of voodoo that goes into talking to coaches and talking

349
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: to kickers and finding out, hey, what's your range. But

350
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: unlike the first and ten line, which we can validate

351
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: with the chains, there's no real way to validate any

352
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: of this. It's very subjective. Yeah. The second thing, the

353
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: second thing I think gets me a little bit more

354
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: because we all have had those moments when we're following

355
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: our teams where you just know, kickers getting a little

356
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: yippy out there, and he jinked an extra point, maybe

357
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: had one blocked, maybe came close to missing one. All

358
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: these things that sort.

359
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: Of build one a row g Yeah.

360
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like kicked one out of bounds on the kickoff,

361
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: Like just these context clues that you have as you

362
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: are going through the game that lead you to this

363
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: moment of just knowing deep into your marrow that when

364
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: the guy kicks it, it is not going to go through.

365
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: But they put him out there anyway.

366
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, see the phrase you just used, as I think

367
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: the operative one here deep into your marrow. I don't

368
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 2: think this is a minor annoyance for me. This is

369
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: full blown rage. I don't just sort of slink into

370
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: my couch when I see that. I get up and

371
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: I yell, I pace. And it's one of the worst

372
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: experiences as a fan in this sport, you know, seeing

373
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 2: a kicker that you have zero confidence in trot out

374
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: for a thirty nine yarder, right, You're like, well, a

375
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 2: replacement kicker would certainly hit this thirty nine yarder with

376
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 2: no wind, with perfect field position. But they're bringing out

377
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: Neil so and so.

378
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: Every kicker's name is Neil Oh.

379
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: They're bringing out Neil so and so. And as you said,

380
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: he's been spraying, he's been kicking up some wobblers, even

381
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: if they're going through, and especially if it's a tight

382
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: moment right before the half with the game on the line. Whatever,

383
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: it's it's full blown hysteria that's going on in my brain, So.

384
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't so we consider it minor, so we think

385
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: this should go to Brian's. Then the field goal range line.

386
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: Well yeah, My only issue with that one is it's

387
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: just sort of vague that the easy fix with that

388
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: is just like field goal range, you just add parentheses

389
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: maybe question mark right that, Like, we can't with certainty

390
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: say that this is the precise place on the field

391
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: that a college kicker is adequate because he is a

392
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 2: college kicker. So all right, I'm going to still lean

393
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: the ladder, even though it's it's much more major annoyance,

394
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: major grievance, just because I want to see it paired

395
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: up against others.

396
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: The next one review delays and commercial delays when watching

397
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: in person.

398
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: Oh yes, well, have the orange banded referee out on

399
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: the field to let you know that the TV is

400
00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: still at commercial.

401
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, but he has more power at a football

402
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: stadium than that dude just goes out there and just waits,

403
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: stands waits, waits waits. This one came to us on

404
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: Instagram via Cordy Pete. The delays of watching a game

405
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: in person part of why we like watching games at home,

406
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: versus another one that came in via Instagram from Chris W. Bennett,

407
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: which is the delay of game after a timeout, right,

408
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: which is also infuriating, infuriating that that happens at all.

409
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: I think it's the latter for me, delay a game

410
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: after a timeout, because you kind of know what you're

411
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 2: getting into at this point with going to a game

412
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: in person, with how the TV product is structured, and

413
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: I get it. I get why that's so bad, both

414
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: because you're looking at the TV ref and because that's

415
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: an opportunity for the stadium to just get up to

416
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: some nonsense, right that they're advertising stuff, you know, a

417
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 2: new double decker case of Rito or something on the

418
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: stadium boards, or you know, they're like trying to do

419
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 2: some sort of like trivia thing where you're just like,

420
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: you're so frustrated that they didn't get that third down.

421
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: The last thing you want to hear about is like

422
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: the last kicker to miss a fifty four year old

423
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: with a fifty four yard field goal of the game

424
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: on the line. Like that's the issue where it's not

425
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: just the staring at the ref, it's everything that's going

426
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 2: along with it in the stadium experience. I still think

427
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: it's the latter, though it is annoying in person, though

428
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: it is, it totally is. It's really annoying in person

429
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: when you go to a game and you got to

430
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: deal with that. It's worse than the NFL, at least

431
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: it used to be. But I haven't been to I

432
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: haven't been to an NFL game in a long time.

433
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 2: I think I agree with you. The delay after a

434
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: timeout is sort of inexcusable, and more often than not

435
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 2: it's minor. It's five yards does it's you know, if

436
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: you're getting a delay of game after a timeout, you've

437
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: got but it plenty of is going wrong, not just right.

438
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: It sort of says that, like, what is happening behind

439
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 2: the scenes. Who's in charge here?

440
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: Right?

441
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 2: I want to speak to your manager? Why can you

442
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 2: not snap a ball after a timeout? I'll go, I'll go,

443
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: that's the issue, because then it just sort of densier

444
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: confidence in the whole operation on the sideline.

445
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: All right? Next two from Thomas on email hypothetical playoff arguments.

446
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: Like in game, in game, yeah, in game announcer RG

447
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: three saying like I don't know about you know, Houston

448
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: as a contender here after their loss to SO and.

449
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Say that isn't okay. I'll give you that, okay. Next

450
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: versus this one from Pat via email, the athletic director

451
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: calling a press conference to announce the return of a

452
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: coach that the fan base once fired.

453
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: I e.

454
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: The dreaded vote of confidence press conference. Right for me.

455
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: This one goes through with flying colors. But it's not

456
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: in game. It's not in game, but it is a

457
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: college football thing. But that's not the bracket. A college

458
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: football minor grievance. We never said it had to be

459
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: during the game.

460
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: I think we can roll the tape on the beginning

461
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: of first episode. Yeah, there's plenty of things that we

462
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: don't like about the sport that are outside the minor grievances,

463
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: outside of the actual field of play.

464
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: I think we have talking about broadcasts here. We're talking

465
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: about the apparatus broadcast. Oh, I don't know.

466
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: I don't think this fits. You organized the bracket in

467
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: a sterling way other than this one.

468
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've got other ones on here then

469
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: that I think you're gonna have a problem with.

470
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will have a problem with them. Wow, but

471
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: all this is all in game. I don't know, Man,

472
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: every single thing we've discussed, hasn't it. I'd have to

473
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: go bargaining stuff and commercials in game timeouts.

474
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: I think I think most of what we've had so

475
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: far has probably risen to that level.

476
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 2: So what was the other one that was calling a

477
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: press conference versus.

478
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: This was the vote of confidence press conference versus hypothetical

479
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: playoff arguments? So I guess we'll put.

480
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: Hypothetical playoff arguments in game. Where you see like the

481
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: list of like you know has all already defeated Michigan

482
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: State today, you know plays Iowa State tonight.

483
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: It's always the three column table team in the left

484
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: column pros cons, whatever wins losses in the next two

485
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: it's always the same format. The worst is when you're

486
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: watching two teams that have no shot for the playoff. Yeah,

487
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: that's when this is at its most annoying.

488
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 2: It makes the fan base is watching feel even worse.

489
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: It's like we're watching a Mac game. These teams are

490
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: not getting into the playoff. Let's talk about it anyway,

491
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: because we paid one point three billion dollars.

492
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: Right, everything is a TV promo? Now, Yeah, like this

493
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: that graphic is no different than like ncis Sydney coming

494
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 2: back from a commercial break right that it's just a

495
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: TV show promo. And by the way, I do enjoy

496
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: those because it opens up the announcers to like digital

497
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: criticism that they're You can if you really listen closely,

498
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: if you do have the five point once a round sound,

499
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: you can hear the just like the seventeen grams of fear.

500
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: I don't know Grahams of how you measure fear, but

501
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: you hear just like the undertone of fear, and like

502
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: Dusty Devorcek's voice that he's gonna say something that pisses

503
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: off a bunch of people about TCU or about Alabama

504
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: or about Florida State, and you're just like Soll Hill.

505
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: And this is not specific to Dusty. It's about anybody

506
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: calling a game where there is there's always gonna be

507
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: that like preambly phrase where it's just like, you know,

508
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 2: for my money, for my money, yeah, the al you

509
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: need the quality, right, there's always the preamble qualifier where

510
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 2: it's just like you know, when you look at the

511
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: schedule and what they have to go through in the

512
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: Big twelve. I think that gives them the edge. Please

513
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: don't hurt me, Like there's always that tone and I

514
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 2: don't blame them, but yeah, they have to come up

515
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: with like a take in between quarters.

516
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, next one, this is the final one

517
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: of the for Baller Region one. Yeah, these two I

518
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of group together. Okay, all right. We had one

519
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: from David on Patreon, which is the kick return when

520
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: you see the flag come out early and then the

521
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: returner scores, so in effect false excitement. You see the

522
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: guy take it all the way back, but you also

523
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: saw the flag right away, right, And I grouped this

524
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: together with one that came in via Keith on Twitter,

525
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: which was the kickoff or punt return that is called

526
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: back because of a meaningless penalty on the other side

527
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: of the field. I felt like these two could be

528
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: grouped together generally, the false excitement, the false alarm that

529
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: comes on the kicker punt return that is negated by penalty. Yeah.

530
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: And the other thing is that in that window of okay,

531
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: you see the flag on the field come out pretty

532
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: quickly and then you see whoever Tavon Austin returns it

533
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: for a touchdown. It's an incredible run. He breaks you know,

534
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: seven tackles, and you're just like, so in that window

535
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: of however many seconds, what you have to do is

536
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: convince yourself that there's a little known rule that the

537
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: kicking team violated, right, that was immediately spotted by an

538
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: eagle eye, an eagle eyed like sideline judge, where like

539
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: the call comes in and you're just bracing yourself for

540
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: you like, the better part of your brain knows like

541
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 2: somebody blocks somebody in the back, right, But there is

542
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: that that tiny morsel, there's that quirk, that atom of

543
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: your brain that says, maybe.

544
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: It's like illegal distribution of kicking team player. You know,

545
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: maybe the flag just fell out of the dude's pocket

546
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: that he thought he saw two players wearing number eighty one,

547
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: but it turns out one was wearing eighteen. That's right,

548
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: that's right.

549
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: And so then it's it's just a pickup. So you

550
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: have to hold out hope. You have to reserve, You

551
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: have to partition a very specific part of your brain

552
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 2: to hold up to hold out for hope, which in

553
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: itself is very trying, very difficult.

554
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate David's specificity here. Yeah, of seeing the flag

555
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: come out early, Oh, that's a dagger good one, David,

556
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: very good. We could do.

557
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: A bunch of people sort of criticized me after the

558
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: first one for not mentioning like score bug stuff. I

559
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: think if I'm gonna get super specific, because a score

560
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: bug doesn't actually actually like affect a game, right, like

561
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: the font that's chosen or the size of the logos.

562
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: The one that I would put in here in terms

563
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: of minor grievance that is always a grievance that is

564
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: always annoying when it happens is the ESPN Yellow Flash

565
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: score update.

566
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well I'm gonna put that.

567
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's a wild card. It doesn't have

568
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: to be a part of it. But I am regret,

569
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: I'm filled with regret that I did not put that

570
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: in our bracket last week. The yellow Flash. That's not

571
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: actually an indication of a flag, but an indication that, yes,

572
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: Georgia Southern just kicked a field goal to three nothing.

573
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'm putting that one. I'm putting that in

574
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: our bracket. Okay, all right, I'm putting that one in there.

575
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: Every time I'm like, what, it's a good one.

576
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: So, okay, we've got the kick return punt return thing

577
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: versus this one from Thomas on email. Just hearing arrivals

578
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: trademark sound or fight song. Yeah, just hearing you.

579
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: I get that, Yeah, especially if it's one of those

580
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: schools that only plays that song.

581
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: I went to a Notre Dame Tennessee game back in

582
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: the day. I don't know what it was. We sat

583
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: right next to the Tennessee band. Now this wasn't a

584
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: rival situation, obviously, Notre Dame Tennessee our rivals. I am

585
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: still haunted by Rocky Top. I'm haunted by it. I've

586
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: been to Notre Dame USC games. I'm haunted by You.

587
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: Don't need to do it. I don't need you to

588
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: do it on Top because I'm annoying you, because it

589
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: is annoying. It is very annoying. Yeah, and it is

590
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: very minor. Let's say you it's good. It's good.

591
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 2: I remember we've all been to games that have you know.

592
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: It obviously brings out a spike of anger in everybody's

593
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: brains because generally speaking, when that fight song is playing,

594
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: something good or pretty good or okay, just happened for

595
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: a rival team. And so the example I remember was

596
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: going to the Holiday Bowl Oregon, Oklahoma and the Oklahoma band.

597
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: Playing the same song over and over and over again.

598
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and that's up against too.

599
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: That's up against our kick return situation with the early flag.

600
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: Oh easily a I easily the former.

601
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's go to for baller Region two.

602
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: We've got here. From Derek fifty two to fifty four

603
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter, shout out, Derek to fifty fifty four. This

604
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: is a suggestion that was reaffirmed by others on Twitter,

605
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: some of whom said that it needs to be the

606
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: number one overall seed. Okay, and this is games that

607
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: are labeled to start at one time but actually start

608
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: about fifteen to twenty minutes later.

609
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: This is so good, and it's a cousin of another thing.

610
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: But continue and we'll go back to it. This is

611
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: so good, Dan, I almost spit my tea out.

612
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: This morning when I went through and saw this.

613
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: Well say, it so perfectly fits in with the spirit

614
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: of this concept.

615
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: It is Derek, you passed the assignment with flying colors.

616
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: Even if this does not win, this is brilliant. Good

617
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: for you. This one's going up against play calling with

618
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: no urgency. From Hayes bethir Out on Instagram. So a

619
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: very difficult first round matchup here. I think we've got

620
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: we got to put the games that actually start a

621
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: little bit later through to the next round. That has

622
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: driven me nuts for like ten years. Happen, okay every

623
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: week every week. I'm caught off guard by it every week,

624
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: and they know it's going to happen, and we're not.

625
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: Let's be clear, we're not talking about the previous game

626
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: spilling over. No, no, And you know, ESPN, FOX, ABC,

627
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: whoever needs to get in the commercial break or whatever.

628
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 2: There's like an allotted time they need to get in

629
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: between games where they need to go to the like

630
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: Geico Studio update, not that where a game starts a

631
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: little bit late because the previous game ran late, went

632
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: to overtime. Whatever the idea of either the first game

633
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: or that a game, especially like a national championship, a.

634
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: Semi final, quarterfinal.

635
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: Now in today's world where it's just like this is

636
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: the set thing, and I just like, I maybe you

637
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: want to let people arrive late, either in person or

638
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: on TV and see what you have this like this gap.

639
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: But I say screw the gap, Like you can find

640
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 2: out the kickoff time anywhere where it's like seven thirty Kickoff.

641
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Well, the problem. The problem is that they advertise it

642
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: is one time, and then they don't start at that time.

643
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: You're watching all day long, SEBI at d the game

644
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: tonight eight pm Eastern, it.

645
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: Doesn't start, No, you have they have you captive for commercials.

646
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't start till eight twenty five. This is brilliant.

647
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: This one goes through for me.

648
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: So the one I have aligned with this one is

649
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: the like, uh, yes, this game is still going, but

650
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: Kickoff can be found on like the Sundance channel or whatever,

651
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 2: like channel Fox is like vaguely associated probably not the

652
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: Sundance channel, but like Fox Business or USA or you're

653
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: just like, I don't watch that channel. Ever, I didn't

654
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: realize my cable provider carried that channel, And oh, is

655
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: it by the news channels? No, it's in between that

656
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: GEO and Noggin. Like it's one of those things where

657
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: you're just like, you have no idea where the channel is.

658
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 2: Maybe you know with YouTube YouTube TV you can organize

659
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: it alphabetically. I have no idea, but also annoying where

660
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: you're left scrambling if you don't have you know, if

661
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: you don't watching it through like the ESPN app or

662
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: the Fox app or whatever. That that's super annoying that

663
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: you get the the alt kickoff channel and I feel

664
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: like that is aligned with the previous later kick than

665
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: actually advertised.

666
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 1: VAMP for me for ten to fifteen seconds about play

667
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: calling with no urgency.

668
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 2: Oh, I love this one too. This is another huge

669
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 2: one because how many times do you find yourself either

670
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: watching a game with your team, your Notre Dame fighting

671
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: Irish Penn State, Anilions, whatever, where you're no longer even sitting,

672
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: you're standing and motioning the spike right, spike, spike, Spyke, Pyke,

673
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: spy spikes skes. I get to the line spike spyke,

674
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 2: spyke by spike and then it's just like the quarterback

675
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 2: is sitting and turning and like trying to relate, like

676
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 2: they're not prepared for that urgent moment, or the coaching

677
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: staff is calling plays where you know you have a

678
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, a minute eight, you have no timeouts, and

679
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: you're adjusting at the line. You're like, you're not prepared.

680
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 2: You don't have that script what do I call it? Excelsior? Right,

681
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: you don't have an Excelsior script ready to roll by

682
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: the time the season comes along and you are just

683
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: wasting those like Chris Berman tick tic tic tick tic

684
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: tic tick seconds.

685
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: The thing about this that I think makes it such

686
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: a good submission from Hayes. Yeah, it doesn't always amount

687
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: to a major setback. No, sometimes, but in the moment,

688
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: sometimes it works. But you're right, and we've all been there.

689
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: We are standing in front of the TV doing the

690
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: spikes site, spiking it here, somebody please listen to us.

691
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: Right, or you're waving a running back out of bounds

692
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: that was in our previous episode, right, But like you're

693
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: you're trying to telepathically tell this nineteen year old fourteen

694
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: hundred miles away, let's go, let's go, ye go, let's go,

695
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: let's go.

696
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, got that.

697
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: You don't have a tempo package that you don't have

698
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: an excelsior package that you know will work within two

699
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 2: minutes with no timeouts, and players don't know where they're

700
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 2: lining up, and like you know, somebody's just sort of

701
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: jogging back to the line of scrimmage. You're like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

702
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: hey come on, ye yeah, that's super annoying.

703
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: We got to put through the game time though. That's

704
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: the one that goes through here, I think so. Yeah.

705
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Next one came to us on Twitter from Captain Cox

706
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: and he submits announcers harping on the same weird story

707
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: the entire game I am. I am zooming out a

708
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: little bit and including a cousin as part of this,

709
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: which is announcers that are trying a little too hard

710
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: to make a nickname happen. Oh. I like that one.

711
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you're just you're right now, you're just talking

712
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 2: to Gus Johnson mostly, yeah, talking to Gus Johnson. I

713
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: don't know who else you could be talking like. I

714
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: don't think Fowler does that.

715
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: But like, wasn't the Maserati Marv thing a little annoying?

716
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: It wasn't annoy He was just trying to make it happen.

717
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: But it was annoying that he kept trying to make

718
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: it happen. Maybe, uh, nobody else is calling a Maserati Marv. Nobody.

719
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: It's just good and he wanted to make that nickname happen.

720
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: He did it every time he called an Ohio State game,

721
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: and again it had no real consequence, no real meaningful

722
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: impact on anything. It was just he kept trying to

723
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: make it happen, and that was a little bit annoying

724
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: to me. So whether it's the nickname thing or whether

725
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: it's a story I mean we talked, gosh, we talked

726
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: a nauseyim about this type of scenario in the past

727
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: with Tom Hammond when he's called noted in games, he

728
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: did this all the time, right, He just kind of

729
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: locks in on a storyline, a thing that interests him

730
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: and maybe nobody else, and he just rolls with it

731
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over again. Right,

732
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: that's the first side of this bracket.

733
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's I think you're right, where like somebody

734
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: will make they'll be like that fun fact that's told

735
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: early on that like uh, you know Alison Williams on

736
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: the sideline, be like, actually, Roma Doonsay was a yo

737
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: yo champion when he was eleven, right, and then it's

738
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: like touchdown to the big time yo Yo man, Yo

739
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: Yo's backing for it right right, right, and so they

740
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: like there's there's that callback element. The Gus Johnson one

741
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: with Maserati marm I just don't think there is a

742
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,959
Speaker 2: producer with enough courage in the pregame meeting point.

743
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: No, So.

744
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 2: Maser everybody's loving it like less is more like a

745
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: little bit like Gus Johnson's.

746
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: Too big, a little bit of emperor with no closed situation. Yeah.

747
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 2: Also it's harmless, right, like it's a positive thing about

748
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: the guy, and so we we always appreciate somebody who

749
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: is airing on the side of enthusiasm, and so that

750
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 2: is Gus Johnson being enthusiastic about a very strong college

751
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: football player. So it's nitpicky, but yeah, it's it's the

752
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: making fetch happen.

753
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: Musburger used to do this too back in the of

754
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: course do something. All the big guys have done it.

755
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: This one is going up against I. I love the

756
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: pettiness of this one, which is why I included it.

757
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: This is from Jeremy out on Twitter saying off sides

758
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: instead of offside. Oh yeah, guilty, which we are guilty of.

759
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: I believe we did it on the last episode. Very petty,

760
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: very inconstant, quenchle, very minor. But I think very appropriate

761
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: for this bracket. I don't think it goes through, but

762
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: I think it's good.

763
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: There's a term for something when a word is used

764
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: incorrectly so often that it becomes the actual definition of

765
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 2: the word. We've talked about this that like nonplus just,

766
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: people decided to change the meaning of the words so

767
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: often that the meaning of the word just changed.

768
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: I think that's probably what.

769
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 2: Has happened with a word like offside and off sides,

770
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: where it's going to be sort of interchangeable and we

771
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: are to blame it's our fault.

772
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: Next one, we've got running outside tosses and sweeps to

773
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: the short side of the field from Kevin on email.

774
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: Ah versus yeah. And this is another combo play here

775
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: from Andy on Twitter, who says offensive coordinators who ride

776
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: the overthinkings press. This one is related to another one

777
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: that came in from Frank that is a little bit

778
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: more specific. Maybe this is what I should have gave

779
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: as like the top line for this one, right, but

780
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: he says any designed backward motion by the offense the

781
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: overthinking express slash backward motion versus running doing something to

782
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: the short side of the field. Right.

783
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: So I kind of have issue with both of these,

784
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: and I think they both belong. But my issue is

785
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: what was the name of the Sam Miller Ben Limberg book, Like,

786
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 2: the only rule is.

787
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: It has to work.

788
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you are if you are a team

789
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: with a playbook that includes backward motion, and we saw

790
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 2: like the forty nine ers running this where like Christi

791
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: McCaffrey would sort of motion out and then like behind

792
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 2: where he would normally stand to like dry out a defender.

793
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: As far as I could tell, it sort of have

794
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 2: the defense show itself a little bit, like if there's

795
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: a purpose behind pre stat motion or any sort of

796
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 2: behind the play motion, and it's to sort of make

797
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: the defense show its hand, then I think it's worthwhile.

798
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: The only if it works. It's okay if your team

799
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: has a history of making short side tosses work because

800
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, it's the weak side of the field

801
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 2: and they're showing something with a strong side and they

802
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 2: do like a quick speed something to the weak side

803
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: to the short side of the field, which happened to

804
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: be the same thing, and I guess my scenario.

805
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: And it works.

806
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 2: That's fine, right. I think what happens is a lot

807
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: of us have scar tissue about previous years teams and

808
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 2: previous situations where you had third and two to keep

809
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: a drive going and somebody called a reverse and it

810
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: ended terribly. Usually it like plays like that and terribly

811
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: because one you're telegraphing it too much, and it's not

812
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: paired with a play that helps to set it up earlier.

813
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: On or two.

814
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: It's just run wrong. It's run incorrectly. It's not actually

815
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 2: a bad play call. It's a bad play call because

816
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 2: your team didn't run it correctly, you didn't execute it, which,

817
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 2: of course coaches are going to blame themselves, right, like

818
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 2: we didn't teach it well enough in practice. So I

819
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: would say it's the backwards one. I think that's a

820
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 2: close cousin of your item from last week, where it's

821
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 2: just like the shotgun on fourth and short.

822
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're like, don't overthink it. Yeah. I think in general,

823
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: the overthink express is a really good one to call

824
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: out here for offensive coordinators because there is a tentative

825
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: balance between writing the overthink express and the underthink express.

826
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: I will, of course hold up Jared Parker is a

827
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: good example of that, because the underthink express for Notre

828
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: Dame football in twenty twenty three should have been just

829
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: run the damn ball. The problem was he underthought it

830
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: all too often to the point where there was no

831
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: balance and the offense was predictable. That was the underthink express,

832
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: to the point where it was so underthought you questioned

833
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: whether it was actually overthought. What I'm saying, yes, that

834
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: tentative balance between underthinking and overthinking for an offensive coordinator

835
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: in the way you call those plays, I think goes through.

836
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: That's a real I think it's a lot of the

837
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: like fourth or third and short and there's something long

838
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 2: developing where that you're you're counting on, like, well, this

839
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: tight end is going to drag out.

840
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: After like a fake release.

841
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: That's right, that Josie's blot Like, where's like what if

842
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: it was just like this real quick, obvious thing that

843
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: like isn't a great play, but it's a guaranteed two

844
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: and a half yards. It's a guaranteed two and a

845
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: half yards that your offensive coordinator doesn't have an array

846
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: of those in the playbook.

847
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: This next one, I think is the epitome of what

848
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: this is all about. Yeah. This one via email from

849
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: Ellie having to pay for another streaming service to watch

850
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah versus. This one comes to us from

851
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: Zachary Neil of duck Swire. Hello, Zachary, Hey, Zach in

852
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: the stadium loud speakers that are a little too loud too,

853
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: extremely petty fan oriented annoyances that are perfect. Having to

854
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: pay for another streaming service to watch a game is

855
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: an enormous pain in.

856
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 2: That you know what that is, because then you have

857
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: to start during the week. You're like, all right, what

858
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: does what does Peacock have? That like, now that I've

859
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: bought Peacock for the Big ten and Notre Dame, Like,

860
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 2: how do I actually should I take advantage of actually

861
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 2: having this service. Sure, I'll watch Save by the Bell.

862
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: But here's the thing about this.

863
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: That Ellie does not call out in her email. There's

864
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: also the added component of having to teach the parents

865
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: how to also sign up for the string ext report

866
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: or or teaching them how to link up with yours

867
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 1: after you've signed up for it. Yes, share the password, yep. Yeah.

868
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 2: Where you're like, all right, scanm the QR code. Okay,

869
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: So the QR code is the series of blocks and

870
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: sort of looks like a barcode, all right, and so yeah,

871
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: t MP nine to l W right.

872
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: And then you get the confirmation. Right, the confirmation is

873
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: sent to you, and then you're on the phone and

874
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: there's a FaceTime situation that part of it.

875
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 2: Elie, use the right arrow on the rokude no, no, no,

876
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 2: the right arrow on the yeah, well, on timing.

877
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are so many things that can go wrong

878
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: with this, yes, that it truly gets to the point

879
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: of outside of the whole financial side of it, you

880
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: have to pay to watch a game, which nobody wants

881
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: to do. Outside of that, there is definitely that moment

882
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind, because I've had this

883
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: exact experience with Notre Dame bing On Peacock. There is

884
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 1: that moment that flashes in the back of your mind

885
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: where it's like, hmm, this might not be worth of it.

886
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: Have you ever been in a public place giving tech

887
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: support to like a spouse or family member. It's the

888
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: best where you're just on the phone and you like

889
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: have to give somebody the like one second, like I'm

890
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 2: teaching them how to use the Internet, where you're just like, yeah,

891
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: so you see the white the white box around the

892
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: Michigan Michigan State hit okay, yeah, yeah English English, Yeah,

893
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: the English box, right.

894
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: Yep, is it loading.

895
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: It's saying loading, Okay, let me know when it loads,

896
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 2: and then hang up.

897
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's on great, yes, yes, okay, okay, good one,

898
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: good one. Ellie. I like Zach's I like the in

899
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: stadium mild speakers that are too loud. That's that's a

900
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: very Dan Rubinstein thing.

901
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: I feel, well, you're talking to somebody who brings earplugs

902
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: to weddings time, so I'm solution oriented. I do I

903
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 2: put on earplugs on the dance floor, especially, I mean

904
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 2: live band speakers.

905
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: Whatever.

906
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm not about, like my hearing is already not ideal.

907
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm not about to have one point two percent worse

908
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 2: hearing for Bruno Mars and not even like top tier

909
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 2: mars so and I like Bruno Mars. Uh so that's

910
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: that's my answer or Bruno Mars cover. My answer is

911
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 2: still the first because of your added element of adding

912
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 2: tech support to like.

913
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: How does peacock work? It's the worst, man, it's so bad.

914
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: I guess what. It's not like it's locked in there

915
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: for next week. No, it's it all over. Do it

916
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: all over again? Mom? Yep, I've had many conversations like this,

917
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: and the worst the worst is this the worst. It's

918
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: hard enough when you got to deal with getting the

919
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: parents linked up. Yeah, but what do parents do? They

920
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: talk to other people their age mm hmmmm hmmm. This

921
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: is not an ageist argument. This is just a tech

922
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: support problem for people who understand technology. Yeah, when the.

923
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 2: Word gets out that you know how to make it

924
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 2: work good with Tyler's good with computers.

925
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: That's when this gets very complicated, because then not only

926
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: then you're on call.

927
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, and I know this is going into

928
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 2: a different direction. You don't have children, which I think

929
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: is a great decision for you and yours. You made

930
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: that decision, you live in your life. Great, But what's

931
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: going to happen when you're eighty one and you don't

932
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 2: know how to watch a notre name?

933
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: Kay?

934
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 2: Well, is there a better reason to procreate than to

935
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 2: have built in tech support?

936
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: That looks like you college football might be could put

937
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: by the time I'm eighty one, that's true, We'll see, And.

938
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: There's always a chance that you're just off living in

939
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 2: the mountains whittling your own putter.

940
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: That was not a euphemism, by the way. Let's move on.

941
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: Let's move on, all right, final four matchups and then

942
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: we'll breeze through. Sure, sure arrive at a winter I

943
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: have inserted your suggestion right here.

944
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 2: Oh, flashing yellow penalty, Explain what update?

945
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: Explain what this is?

946
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: This is when ESPN has a flash of a yellow

947
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: rectangle in the bottom of the screen that would seemingly

948
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: indicate up, somebody was holding somebody interfered on that deep pass. Nope,

949
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 2: it's that there was a score somewhere else in America

950
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 2: that needed your immediate yellow flashing attention, which happens to

951
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 2: be the same color as a penalty flag, which, forever

952
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 2: and ever, when a yellow flash would appear on the screen,

953
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 2: it would mean they're like, yep, there's a penalty on

954
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 2: the play somewhere, and now ESPN has decided to conflate

955
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 2: those two colors, or those those two moments with the

956
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 2: same color.

957
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: This is psychological worthing. Man.

958
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 2: It's sick, ti sick, absolute sick. Yeah, can't believe it's

959
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: legal legal, Like it should be taken to the Supreme Court. Yeah, okay,

960
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 2: somebody would argue that design matters, people, design matters. This

961
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: one goes up against teams with bad offenses taking mediocre

962
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 2: grad transfer quarterbacks in the off season. This is from Bradley,

963
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 2: who has helped us with our newsletter, who has done

964
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: a multitude of things here over at Solid Verbal HQ.

965
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 2: This feels like more of a fantasy thing than a grievance.

966
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 2: I'll be a great fantasy thing where you talk yourself

967
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 2: into the like low level quarterback transfer. I think does

968
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 2: Minnesota have one from Princeton? I want to say this year. Yeah,

969
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 2: where you really talk yourself into having a diamond in

970
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 2: the rough. He was like he was too good for

971
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 2: slippery Rock or whatever, and uh he comes into a

972
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: game and you're like, well, looks like a slippery rock quarterback. Y.

973
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: All right, we're putting we're putting the yellow indicators. Yes,

974
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: of course, next one up. Thank you Bradley for the

975
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: submission from both Colin and Nate to Nebraska fans on

976
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: email okay dot com? Did they joint email us? No,

977
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: they both emailed within five minutes about the same thing.

978
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: And they're both Nebraska people. Both Nebraska people. Okay great.

979
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: Both both were worded a little differently. We should introduce

980
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: them something I've labeled the needlessly Ballsy Call. Oh I

981
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: like this, yeah, I sick two point yeah. Yeah. There

982
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: was definite, definitely a Scott Frost reference in here, needlessly

983
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: Ballsy call versus from a different need out on Instagram.

984
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: The easy fifteen yard completions against the prevent defense also

985
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: sent in by Owen on Instagram. So the premature prevent

986
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: or Yeah, I got what you're saying. Your team playing

987
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: in prevent defense and giving up easy completions versus the

988
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: needlessly ballsy call.

989
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 2: I would say the prevent defense frustrations. Everybody can sort

990
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: of point to a moment in time where their team

991
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 2: went three deep safeties and allowed a team to march

992
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 2: down the field and they had to scramble to get

993
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 2: back in a regular defense because the prevent didn't work. Also,

994
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: why do we pronounce it like that, prevent when we

995
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 2: pronounced that word differently in its normal use.

996
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: I think it's that.

997
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: I think it's that because it heightens how scared we

998
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 2: become of what that other team can do driving down

999
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: the field that quickly.

1000
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 1: And most of the time it works fine.

1001
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 2: Most of the time it works fine.

1002
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: But there is that thought, that kernel of concern in

1003
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: the back of your mind. Yeah, we put prevent defense through.

1004
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 2: Well that there was like an old Bill Belichick thing

1005
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 2: where he always rushes four players against hail mary that's right,

1006
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: And I don't know, maybe the Patriots are particularly good

1007
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 2: against hail Mary's, so that was particularly effective. That's like

1008
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: a line of thinking where you're just like, you know,

1009
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 2: if you have to make somebody make a decision quicker,

1010
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 2: they're you know, more liable to make, more likely to

1011
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: make a bad decision. I think that's that's really good.

1012
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 2: Prevent goes through two more. This one from p NW

1013
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 2: sports Nerd on Twitter. Okay, quarterback getting sacked with a

1014
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 2: wide open receiver running downfield. Yeah versus Ethan who not

1015
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 2: versus Ethan? Ethan sent this one in on Twitter. Versus

1016
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: the offensive player who gets the staf count wrong, offensive

1017
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: player gets a snapped.

1018
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: So this is kind of funny, right, It's it's not

1019
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 1: just a false start because a guy is flinching. Yeah,

1020
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: it's a guy just straight up getting the snap count

1021
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: wrong and doing the full offensive lineman jump back thing

1022
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: past blocking, firing off the line to get a run block,

1023
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: but maybe a beat too soon and sticks out like

1024
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: a sore thumb.

1025
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 2: So we don't always know the progressions of a play,

1026
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 2: right that. You know, a lot of guys will read

1027
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 2: the field left to right and so like, yes, this

1028
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 2: guy is running open down the field, but like the

1029
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 2: defense knew that it was sort of a decoy and

1030
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 2: just to sort of run out the play and the

1031
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 2: quarterback wasn't gonna have enough time to get to that

1032
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: progression anyway. And so I understand it when you look

1033
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 2: after the fact that like the skycam and the announcer says, like, man,

1034
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:58,760
Speaker 2: if you had just hung in there a little longer,

1035
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 2: this guy would have opened up. Like, I don't know,

1036
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 2: I think the calculus is a little bit different when

1037
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 2: you're just worried every single moment of your life that

1038
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 2: Chase Young is going to disembowel you. So I want

1039
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: to extend some grace to quarterbacks on that first one.

1040
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: What was the second one? Just the guy on most

1041
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: of the time, the offensive line getting the snap count wrong.

1042
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's especially brutal in the like it's third and two.

1043
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 2: You go from like third and short to third and

1044
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 2: tricky because of a snapcount thing. And especially if it's

1045
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 2: at home.

1046
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: Especially especially if it's a big game on the road,

1047
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: I think is when it really jumps out to me.

1048
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't say if it's at home, because you

1049
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: don't have the crowd to contend with, so you can

1050
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 2: actually hear that that's true.

1051
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: The situation I'm thinking of is the offensive lineman who

1052
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: is out there, maybe the offensive line has already taken

1053
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: two penalties. One of those deals where the announcers are

1054
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: talking up, wow, how loud is it? They show the

1055
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: sound meter right their their back is to the dudent section,

1056
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: and then they just sort of jump off. See I'm

1057
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: gutted by that. That's not minor to me.

1058
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 2: If you're talking about like a third and fourth false

1059
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 2: start in the half, especially if it's the same player,

1060
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 2: it fills me like a hot air balloon with hot

1061
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: despair that it's just not going.

1062
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: To be all right. So let's go. Let's go quarterback

1063
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: getting sacked with the wide open guy running downfield. Yes,

1064
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: that's fine. And then the final first round matchup. I

1065
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: promise we will buzz through the rest of these quickly. Yeah,

1066
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: let's do it. It is a combination a matchup between

1067
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: get back coaches. This one comes to us on Twitter

1068
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: taking on Sports Alabama podcast. Thank you for sending that

1069
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: in get back Coaches kind of annoying versus the strength

1070
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: coach guy on the sidelines waving a towel, firing off

1071
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: a fire extinguisher, et cetera, et cetera. This one from

1072

Speaker 1: Coop in eight Town out there on Twitter. So get

1073
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: back coaches against the dude the I guess strength coach

1074
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: guy really the hype man on the sidelines, right, trying

1075
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: to get everybody fired up.

1076
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to file the strength coach doing weird stuff

1077
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 2: under my true love bracket.

1078
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: Because I love what doest coach too.

1079
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 2: I like both of them, but I understand at least

1080
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: you're annoyed that, like the head coach can't comport himself

1081
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: well enough that somebody is dedicated to the cause of

1082
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 2: bringing him back to the sideline. So I guess I'm

1083
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 2: gonna put that through because I enjoyed like the strength

1084
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 2: coach wearing a sh medium, waving a lasso like barking,

1085
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: having weird facial hair like old mutton chops.

1086
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: Like, that's all great by me. I'm okay with that.

1087
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to the top here, and

1088
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: let's let's round this thing out. All right, let's go through.

1089
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: We've got the commercial kickoff commercial combination play squaring off

1090
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: against a broadcast missing the next play while showing a.

1091
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 2: Replay commercial back commercial. It's the worst, right, yeah, just

1092
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 2: the worst, yeah, because it can happen multiple times over

1093
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 2: the course of the game, multiple times over the course

1094
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 2: of the season. And it just it makes you a

1095
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 2: little brain.

1096
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen in a different form

1097
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: this year with the two warning that's true. You've also

1098
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: got here the broadcast returning late from commercial with the

1099
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: announcers not filling us in on what we missed, yeah,

1100
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: versus the mid play celebrity interview.

1101
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 2: The first one is worse because you can mute a

1102
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 2: celebrity and there is uh. It's not as like brutally

1103
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 2: annoying as not even knowing what happened.

1104
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Usually what they do with the celebrity interview.

1105
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: You can still see what's happening right, whether they've got

1106
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: the split screen, whether they've just got the audio of

1107
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: the interview going behind the scenes. But if you miss

1108
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: a play and they don't fill you in, or if

1109
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: you miss a replay and then they come back and

1110
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: they don't fill you in, which happens all the time,

1111
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: it feels like you're on a bit of an island.

1112
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: And as a fan, that sucks. So I put that

1113
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: through as well, which means that coming out of this

1114
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: side of the bracket, I guess to go to the

1115
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: elite eight. We've got the commercial kickoff, commercial combo play

1116
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: squaring off against broadcasts returning late from commercials with the

1117
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: announcers not filling us in commercial commercial commercials. It's a

1118
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: no brainer, right, Yeah, that's a great one. So many

1119
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: people sent that one in such a good one. All Right,

1120
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: We've got the kicker who you know is going to

1121
01:00:55,240 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: miss it, going out there and missing it. Yeah, versus

1122
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: the delay of game after a timeout kicker, you think, yeah,

1123
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's more pronounced. I argue that it fills

1124
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: me with a raid? Is that is that minor? All right?

1125
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Then the other one, I think I go delay of

1126
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: game after a timeout because in most cases it's inconsequential. Yeah.

1127
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 2: I think basically what this bracket amounts to is what

1128
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 2: makes you say.

1129
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: More, Yeah, delay a game after a timeout for me?

1130
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Next matchup, the hypothetical playoff arguments, let's say interwoven amid

1131
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: broadcast game. Yeah, squaring off against the let's say false

1132
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: excitement of a kick return that is negated by a

1133
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: very early flag.

1134
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 2: The second one, very early flag. I think it's the

1135
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: early flag, right, I think it brings out more complex

1136
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 2: emotions in me. I think the early flag part of

1137
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 2: this is what makes it special.

1138
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. A penalty is a penalty that could

1139
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: be major, that could be minor in the grand scheme,

1140
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: especially if it's returned all the way for a touchdown.

1141
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: But the specificity here from David about it being an

1142
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: early flag that you see but presumably none of the

1143
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: players do, right, that's what makes it I think worthy here.

1144
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 2: Oh man, they got to watch the players touchdown, they

1145
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: be informed, like actually number seventy two.

1146
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah right. Sometimes the referees come on the PA system

1147
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: as they're celebrating and the camera is zoomed in on

1148
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: the celebration. You just sort of hear it filtering in

1149
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the broad I mean, just the worst. All right. Then

1150
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: we've got blah blah blah. Okay, we've got the early

1151
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: flag mm hmm, squaring off against the delay of game

1152
01:02:58,840 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: after a timeout.

1153
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna say early flag.

1154
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: I think it's early flag.

1155
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 2: Right because of the deflation involved yeap, which means that

1156
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 2: it's early flag versus the commercial kickoff commercial combination.

1157
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: Play just commercial. To me, I think it's I think

1158
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: it's a no brain or the commercial. And you know what,

1159
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: in many ways that's fitting because we had so many

1160
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: commercial suggestions.

1161
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 2: So Hey, look, and the good news about the commercial

1162
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 2: one is we have the Quadbox, so you can just

1163
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 2: slide the slider over to the right or down or

1164
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 2: diagonal and you get the audio from a different game.

1165
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Now.

1166
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people aren't really watching quad

1167
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 2: Box when it comes to their own game. Like, if

1168
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 2: you're a Kentucky fan, you're going full Kentucky on the screen.

1169
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 2: You're not necessarily you know, you don't have a I

1170
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 2: was gonna say Pac twelve.

1171
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't exist anymore.

1172
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 2: You don't necessarily have a game going on across the

1173
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 2: country and three different other squares. But at least you

1174
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 2: have the option to flip around for a second, let's

1175
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 2: go to Region two.

1176
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Yep. Games that actually start fifteen minutes later, yep. I

1177
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: love this one. Versus announcers who harp on the same

1178
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: weird story the whole game. We got to put through.

1179
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: The the game time thing, right.

1180
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the game time things especially annoying if it's

1181
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 2: a night game where it's like I can't wait for

1182
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 2: Oregon Washington, Right, I've been waiting all day, I've been

1183
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 2: waiting all week, and then you're seven thirty comes around,

1184
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, Well, kickoffs and about you see

1185
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 2: like the little clock and players are just doing hamstring

1186
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 2: stretches on the field, and it's like fourteen forty eight.

1187
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 2: You're like, this is going to be the longest fourteen

1188
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 2: minutes off my life.

1189
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: The worst, the worst, the worst. All right, we've got

1190
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: up next the offensive coordinators who are riding the overthink

1191
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Express YEP, squaring off against having to pay for another

1192
01:04:58,400 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: streaming service.

1193
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 2: And the text that goes on I was gonna say,

1194
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: once you add you tack on the tech support thing.

1195
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: I think it's easily that beautiful. That means that we

1196
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: that's not in game.

1197
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 2: I understand not in game, but it's you know, it

1198
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 2: feels like it's in game because you just assume a

1199
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 2: Notre Dame game, a Notre Dame home games on NBC,

1200
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 2: and you, for whatever reason, didn't come across the fact

1201
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 2: that it's going to be on Peacock, and then as

1202
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 2: kickoff looms, you turn it to NBC and it's some

1203
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 2: like rerun of a show and you're like, wait, what's

1204
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 2: happening right now? And then you're scrambling to figure out

1205
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 2: where the game is. Then you're like, I gotta buy Peacock.

1206
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 2: Does anybody I know have Peacock and I get a

1207
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 2: log in for Peacock. Oh no, my mom needs to

1208
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 2: figure out how to get peacock. Yeah, how about so

1209
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 2: it counts? How about this sweet sixteen matchup?

1210
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: Then? Yeah, having to pay for another streaming service versus

1211
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: games that actually start fifteen minutes later, that's a matchup

1212
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: streaming service. It's more all out for as annoying as

1213
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: that might be. Annoyance, not minor for as annoying as

1214
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: the start time thing is. Yeah, given all of the

1215
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: suggestions that we had around commercials, and given the narratives

1216
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: of where things stand in college football right now, everybody

1217
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: is obsessed with this money side of things and how

1218
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: it is having an impact on the game. There is

1219
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: no better mascot for that movement than this with the

1220
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: streaming service, because it is such a transparent effort to

1221
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: just grab subscriptions and gratzelly, you're going through here, This

1222
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: one gets through to the next round. Okay, And then

1223
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: finally we've got your yellow indicator in the score bug

1224
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: against easy fifteen yard completions against the prevent defense. I

1225
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: got yellow moving through. True. Yeah, then we've got the

1226
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: quarterback sacked with a wide open receiver downfield versus get

1227
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: back coaches. Oh, it's sort of a pillow fight here.

1228
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: I'll go quarterback sack.

1229
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say quarterback, Yeah, quarterback missing and taking a

1230
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 2: sack when it was like the quarterback is just confused

1231
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 2: about what the progressions are. And you know you see

1232
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 2: especially that like brutal telestrator angle the sky angle.

1233
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: We're's like open. They show the all twenty two. Yeah,

1234
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: yellow yellow, I have yellow flag in to care. It's

1235
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: way you jotted down here, But it's not that the

1236
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: score graphic, yeah, yellow score graphic versus the quarterback sack.

1237
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: This is yellow yellow. Such a good one, Dan, Okay,

1238
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: thank you. That brings us then to these two matchups. Okay,

1239
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: we've got the commercial kickoff commercial combo, yeah, going off

1240
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: against the early flag on the kick return.

1241
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 2: So commercial versus early flag commercial.

1242
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,959
Speaker 1: I think it's commercial, right, Yeah, And then that brings

1243
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: us to having to pay for another streaming service versus

1244
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: the yellow score bug indicator. This is a fantastic matchup, Dan, to.

1245
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 2: Go to the Final four paying for a new streaming service.

1246
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 2: Confronted with the need to pay for a new streaming

1247
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 2: service as a game is starting if we're gonna be

1248
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 2: more specific and helping those who also need that same help,

1249
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 2: versus ESPN flashing a yellow graphic that is not a

1250
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 2: flag indicator.

1251
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: The yellow graphic thing, to me is just mind boggling.

1252
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: And this is not the first year that they did it.

1253
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, they've been doing that for years on end.

1254
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: Now it's been at least two or three years that

1255
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: I feel we've had to contend with that, and I

1256
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,919
Speaker 1: just I don't understand why it keeps happening. It always

1257
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: induces a bit of a panic attack.

1258
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,879
Speaker 2: So here's the question. Which is more prolific within the sports?

1259
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 2: So is the SEC ACC Like you might have to

1260
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: change your cable package to get the SEC network or

1261
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 2: ACC network or something like that, but that you know

1262
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 2: in advance, Whereas like the peacock thing is almost more arbitrary,

1263
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 2: where Like it feels more pointed towards big ten fans.

1264
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 2: And I don't know if let's say, we have what

1265
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 2: paramount plus for CBS, peacock for NBC, but I guess

1266
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 2: ESPN plus for smaller conferences. But the whole new streaming

1267
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 2: service thing, I feel like it is more of a

1268
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 2: big ten Notre Dame thing than it is for any

1269
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 2: other conference. You have the SPN plus thing, I understand,

1270
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 2: and then the the yellow flash is on ESPN. So

1271
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 2: you have some conferences now like the Big Ten, who

1272
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 2: are not going to be dealing with that at all.

1273
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Right, For as much as the yellow graphic drives me nuts,

1274
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 1: I do think the streaming service thing is much more prevalent. Okay,

1275
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I think it's more prevalent. And I also think there

1276
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: is a fear among fans that with so much money

1277
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: being thrown into the game, that they are going to

1278
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,759
Speaker 1: be more things like this where it ends up hitting

1279
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 1: our pocket books in order to costs.

1280
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 2: With with ESPN paying for well, ESPN is acc sec

1281
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 2: Big twelve and I'm part of the Big twelve, that

1282
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 2: there is this feeling that they're going to be sending

1283
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 2: more and more games to ESPN Plus to boost numbers there,

1284
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,839
Speaker 2: so that you know, the same thing, having to subscribe

1285
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 2: to ESPN plus, same thing as ESPN as peacock kind

1286
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,600
Speaker 2: of thing. So it's going to become more and more ubiquitous,

1287
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 2: the streaming element of this sport.

1288
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: I think we got to put the streaming service through. Okay,

1289
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: let's put it through, which means that our final is

1290
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: having to pay for another streaming service to watch a

1291
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: game versus the commercial kickoff, commercial combination play.

1292
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 2: I think that's my answer, and I'll tell you exactly why,

1293
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 2: because there's almost a show of it. There's almost a

1294
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 2: show of touchdown, great, go to commercial, Fine, I get it,

1295
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 2: let's start this new drive kickoff. Yes, that's what we

1296
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 2: do after a touchdown. And then it's like, here is

1297
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 2: the time you're gonna see ads? Right that, Like there's

1298
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 2: just like this announced. We're like, no, and you don't

1299
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 2: know how many ads you're gonna watch, but you know

1300
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:54,719
Speaker 2: you're gonna see a bunch of ads.

1301
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: You've already seen all game log on previously on Fansville,

1302
01:11:58,360 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: and you're like, god.

1303
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 2: Damn, that's the issue. Whereas like this big show of like,

1304
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 2: hey you want some more football?

1305
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: I hate that. Can I give voice to something that

1306
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: we have not discussed? Sure, I'm talking about that split second,

1307
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: that split second when you are watching a football game

1308
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: and there is something of a question as to whether

1309
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: or not the network is going to go to break

1310
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: or not. And everybody listening to this knows exactly what

1311
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: I am talking about. Yeah, there's a break in play

1312
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: there's a time out, Yeah, there's an injury, there is

1313
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: something going on that otherwise would be a time for

1314
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: the network to cut away and go to commercial. But

1315
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: they don't always, And that split second, the will they

1316
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: won't they gets me all the time because he never

1317
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: want them to go to commercial. I don't necessarily want

1318
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 1: to see some on the field writhing in pain. That's

1319
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: not my idea of enjoyment. But I never want to

1320
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: go to commercial. Let the announcers talk it out, talk

1321
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: about the hypothetical playoff arguments then, but just don't go

1322
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 1: to commercial. The commercial kickoff commercial combination is infuriating and

1323
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 1: it has zero bearing on the game.

1324
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 2: Well, so if you know a little bit about TV,

1325
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 2: and maybe I'm wrong about this, but there's a certain

1326
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 2: amount of commercials that are paid for during the games

1327
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 2: that they have to get through, and if they don't

1328
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 2: get through, then they have to what's called like a

1329
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 2: make good where like, oh, Footlocker bought this many commercials,

1330
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 2: but they only got this many. So now they're getting

1331
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 2: not just the remainder, but they're getting a bonus few

1332
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 2: for free, right, because you didn't stick to your end

1333
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 2: of the agreement to air this many foot locker commercials.

1334
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 2: So when you have the commercial kickoff commercial, there is

1335
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 2: that element that's at least in my head where I'm

1336
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 2: picturing like the head of marketing for CBS in the

1337
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 2: truck whispering in the director's ear do it.

1338
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, I want to do it. This is what

1339
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 1: we're paying you for. Don't make me, don't make me

1340
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: do it.

1341
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 2: And then you get like the commercial for CSI Calgary

1342
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 2: or whatever. So that's the element where it's just like,

1343
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is such like a structured business

1344
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 2: that it's taking so much of the charm out of

1345
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 2: this experience.

1346
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:22,759
Speaker 1: That's that's such a huge bummer. That means the winner

1347
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: of our college football Minor Grievances bracket comes down to

1348
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: a fierce battle between the commercial kickoff commercial combination yeah

1349
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: versus punting on fourth and short from midfield or maybe

1350
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: from plus territory, with the announcers cheerleading the decision exactly right,

1351
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: what a contest.

1352
01:14:53,560 --> 01:15:01,560
Speaker 2: I feel more emotions and good back everything while the

1353
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 2: game is happening. When a touchdown occurs and we go

1354
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 2: to commercials, that brings me out of this like emotional whirlpool.

1355
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna still ride with our winner of fourth

1356
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 2: and one, with the announcers cheerleading it, because I'm so

1357
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 2: wrapped up in that moment that I'm going to feel

1358
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 2: more even though it's a minor annoyance bracket, I'm gonna

1359
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 2: break my own rules here that that, to me is

1360
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 2: more annoying, especially when it's unwarranted, Like, yes, there are

1361
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 2: moments where it's like, clearly warranted, punt the ball. I

1362
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 2: know it's fourth and short, but you're not gonna go

1363
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 2: forward on your own twenty or whatever in this specific moment,

1364
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 2: and you know your offensive line is beat up, so

1365
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 2: short yardage is there's just less of a chance it's

1366
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 2: going to be successful. There are moments that it's just like,

1367
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 2: don't go forth and fourth and short. But when the

1368
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 2: announcers confirm cowardice and confirm the old way of thinking,

1369
01:15:56,680 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 2: and you know, you use analytics like a book man

1370
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 2: like this weird catch all boogeyman.

1371
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: Somebody referred to it as dark magic. Who sent in

1372
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: another analytics suggestion.

1373
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 2: Right, and it's like they're like brief soapbox opportunity to say,

1374
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 2: call me old fashion, you know that kind of stuff.

1375
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna roll with that because I just feel

1376
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 2: more as a game, in the rhythm of a game

1377
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 2: and at post touchdown and that like, for lack of

1378
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 2: a better term, refractory period. That's where I'm like, oh,

1379
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 2: this is annoying, this sucks. But also, like like we

1380
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 2: said before, if your stomach is singing, it gives you

1381
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 2: an opportunity, right, there is some silver lining to be

1382
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 2: stolen here.

1383
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: Let's just call this what it is. Okay, this is

1384
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 1: not so much to the decision to punt on fourth

1385
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: and one from plus territory. It's the announcing crew cheerleading

1386
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: it that is the insult injury. Yeah, totally. It's bad

1387
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: enough that the decision is incredibly cowardly, it's made worse

1388
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: by the fact that the announcers are egging it on.

1389
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 2: And so I think, I think I agree with you,

1390
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of it. Like you get

1391
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,839
Speaker 2: the sense that like a former coach who's the analyst

1392
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 2: in the booth right, doesn't want to criticize a coach's

1393
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,799
Speaker 2: decision so publicly, Like there's that like fraternity of coaches

1394
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 2: who are just like, hey, I'm not going to call

1395
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 2: this guy's decision out in front of two point six

1396
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 2: million doesn't.

1397
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: Want to lose a source or something like that.

1398
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, like there's either a connection, but I really

1399
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 2: just think it's like there is this like idea of

1400
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 2: not criticizing endgame because they understand how difficult it is

1401
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: to be in that position, so they're just going to

1402
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 2: say whatever somebody's doing is fine, and you lose the

1403
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 2: authenticity of the moment because there are some instances where

1404
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 2: you're like, they don't feel this, they don't feel this

1405
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 2: at all, or they're using that opportunity to sort of

1406
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 2: be like anti math or intellectual or whatever.

1407
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot that gets rolled in this one. There's

1408
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: a lot that gets rolled into this one that had

1409
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: been sent in from other folks. I think this kind

1410
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 1: of puts a nice bow on it, so I think

1411
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: we're in agreement. I think it is the announcers cheerleading

1412
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: the punt from plus territory on fourth.

1413
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 2: Somewhere midfield, fourth and real short, you know, one, two, three,

1414
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 2: within you know, five ten yards of midfield in either direction.

1415
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, announcers cheerleading a cowardly punt is what we're referring to.

1416
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: That wins our College Football Minor Grievances Bracket. Next episode.
