1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecock, Free

2
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: and Out Podcast, Sunday Night Rocking and Rolling, Uh, beautiful night.

3
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic football weekend. And I think this football

4
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: weekend was dominated by college football. The the overwhelming. Like

5
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: when the weekend just ended, Brown's uh just lost to

6
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens in a atrocious game. To say I watched

7
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: it would be a strong statement in a borderline lie.

8
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: I had it on in the background, Lamar thrown picks.

9
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: This was a college weekend and the number one story

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: by a country mile this week it is Lincoln Riley.

11
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: Well we'll dive into that, or excuse me, Michigan Ohio State.

12
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: I saw fifteen million people watch. College football is our

13
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: second biggest sport in America, and it is not even

14
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: a close third. You know the NFL's king thirty eight

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: million people watched the Cowboys play the Raiders on Thanksgiving

16
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: thirty eight million people. And like peak Seinfeld episodes, thirty

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: million people watching, most watch game ever in the modern day,

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: you know metric system. That's great, thirty eight million people

19
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: in a day and age streaming computers options, we consume football,

20
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: but by far the number two sport in America's college

21
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: and what a weekend for college Saturday was remarkable day.

22
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: That's his rivalry weekend in college football. I never understand

23
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: guys that are like, I'm an NFL guy, I don't

24
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: watch college or I'm just a college guy. I don't

25
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: watch the NFL. I'm just a football guy. I just

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: had a buddy, my buddy Bryant text me, uh, his

27
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: good buddy. He played baseball with this guy named Aliote

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: at St. Mary's, which is a school in the Bay Area. Well,

29
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: his uncle was the longtime defensive coordinator at the University Oregon.

30
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Uh Alliote is his last name, and Nick Alliote is

31
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: that was the former defensive coordinator. Well, his brother, another Alliote,

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: is the athletic director at Dayless All Daylessal for the

33
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: Northern California Division One Championship plays fulsome who's basically the

34
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: Sacramento version of Dayless Al And I'm like, yeah, I'm

35
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: in next Friday. I'm a football guy. Do I watch

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot of high school football, know, but if the

37
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: game matters in my end, I'm in. Like college football.

38
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: College football was more important this week than the NFL.

39
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: You know, it just it just was. I honestly didn't

40
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: even feel the same. It was hard transitioning today from

41
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Saturday to Sunday. Now, the Niner game for me was big.

42
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: It was a playoff level game. Most of these games weren't. Uh, well,

43
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: we'll dive into some football stuff. Obviously, Belichick's kicking everyone's

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: ass now that Tom Brady had a really really just

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks had a big game because the Colts were rolling.

46
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: But uh, we'll have podcasts out on Tuesday. On Friday, subscribe,

47
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: tell your friends, share with your people. Middlecoff mail bag

48
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: will dive into that on Tuesday's pod at John Middlecoff

49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: is the Instagram. But the biggest story on this Sunday

50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: by far was not an NFL story. It was Lincoln

51
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: Riley leaving the University of Oklahoma to come to USC

52
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: and take on the Trojans. Uh, once proud program that

53
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: has fallen on hard times is now an embarrassment and

54
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: first and foremost most things in life, it takes a lot. Obviously,

55
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty, yeah, I never in a million years

56
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: would have expected lockdowns in the economy to shut down.

57
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: That was the first and most people, I mean, hell,

58
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: that was I guess we haven't had a pandemic in

59
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: this country in you know, a hundred years or whatever.

60
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of people's first But you know,

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: my my dad was a baby boomer. His dad had

62
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: died in Vietnam, so you hear all these stories. My

63
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: mom told me a couple of weeks ago that her

64
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: dad he was shot down. And I knew that he

65
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: was shot down in World War two, but when he

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: was shot down, he was shot down in Japan, and

67
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: and they landed in the jungle, and like they had

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: to hide, be quiet from the enemies, and they saw

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: a tiger. Like the generation after generation. Crazy shit happens consistently, right,

70
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: It's just tried and true. It's hard, especially in my generation.

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: With the Internet, we have so much access to information,

72
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: even things that we didn't experience in life. It's so

73
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: easy to find out about it. If you're a curious person,

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: watched documentaries, you can just I feel like I've I've

75
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: taken in so much information from years that I wasn't

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: even alive in this country. Right, you just study up

77
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: on you've watched things about it. It's hard to be

78
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: stunned or shocked, and and really it's kind of sad.

79
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: To lose some of that. It's why I do think

80
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: having children is healthy, having that excitement in your life,

81
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: right with watching and getting excitement through other people. But

82
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I was shelf shocked today and that is an experience,

83
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: I guess in a feeling that I don't get very often.

84
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: But the news today of Lincoln Riley leaving Oklahoma for

85
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: USC was stunning, was jaw dropping, honestly. I mean I

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm still, like, you know, six seven hours later, I'm

87
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 1: still in disbelief, and I've taken a lot of time

88
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: to think about this, and I you know, I think

89
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, there was there was a staff that there

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: was the first coach to leave Oklahoma for another college

91
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: job since the forties. Guys leave Oklahoma to go to

92
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: the pros or they retire. It's that level of job.

93
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: Now there have been a lot of people on the

94
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: interweb acting like he didn't want to go to the SEC.

95
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: And I'm a big believer in college football, where you're

96
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: from matters. I think people from the South excel in

97
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the South. Jimbo's from the South, Kirby's from the South,

98
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Nick saban or from the South, they excel there. Now

99
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: there are outliers right. Chip Kelly was a Northeast guy,

100
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: went to Oregon and had success. Urban Meyer Midwest guy,

101
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: went to Florida, had success. But for the most part,

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson, Jim Harbaugh, Pete Carroll, west coast guys excelled

103
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. Jim Harbaugh play at ann Arbor

104
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: is there. Urban Meyer was Ohio guy at Ohio State

105
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: having success. Brian Kelly feels very Midwest. They're having success there.

106
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: I do think Dabbo Sweeney, big you know, Southern religious

107
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: Baptist Church, all that stuff, boom killing it at Clemson.

108
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: If Bobby Bowden, gosh darn it crushed it at Florida State.

109
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: I think that matters. And part of the reason I

110
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: never thought Lincoln Riley would come out west because I

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: know what, listen, I'm a West Coast guy. It's the

112
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: ethos of who I am. I have some like Northeast

113
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: tendencies of just being you know, super kind of impatient

114
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: and aggressive, but ultimately a lot of my personality and

115
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: just my mindset is developed from the side of the

116
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: country I was raised upon, and it means a lot

117
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: to me, even though parts of California drive me up

118
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: a wall and make me question, like it's the reason

119
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy property in Arizona, you know, because it's

120
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: just like the parts of California drive me nuts. But

121
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: it's still my home. These are still my people. I

122
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: I just now not all of them are. I don't

123
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: see eye I with the large percentage of especially in

124
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: the Bay Area. But still more often than not, I

125
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: get along with everyone here. I relate to them very well.

126
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: And when I lived in Philly, I remember thinking, like, God,

127
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: these aren't necessarily my people, even though we're all were listening,

128
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: we're all Americans, were all you know, in theory pull

129
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: in the same direction. But that's a whole another conversation.

130
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: But I just think it matters right. When you meet

131
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: someone and you're from Pennsylvania, they go, oh, you're a

132
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: p a guy. I've been around these people. I've seen

133
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: the way they interact. No different. Hey I'm from Texas,

134
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm from Texas. To hey, I'm from northern California. Me too.

135
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: It just matters, right, And that's part of what's stunning

136
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: to me. To me, when I think Lincoln Riley, I

137
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: think the South. I think Texas in Oklahoma, and you

138
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: can say Southwest whatever, But like I would think he

139
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: would move east, not west. Now reading stories a day

140
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: that he wasn't a part of moving to the SEC.

141
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Oklahoma's deep down their ethos and who they are

142
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: as a program is not the SEC and it is

143
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: end it's gonna be a massive transition for that program.

144
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: And you know what, it might not work, Like University

145
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: of Texas doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell, they

146
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: went five and seven in the Big twelve. You know

147
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: what Arkansas, Ole, miss Texas, A and m let Alone,

148
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: Alabama and Georgia would do to them. They would pummel them.

149
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: They would absolutely throttle them. Oklahoma, while better, they still

150
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: have some issues and they have some personnel things that

151
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: like maybe Lincoln doesn't think they can overcome there. And

152
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: then he sees usc which is basically a version of

153
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: Oklahoma in Los Angeles. Even though unlike a lot of

154
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: these you know towns in the in the South, if

155
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: I make six, seven, eight million dollars in Tuscaloosa, in Oxford, Mississippi,

156
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: in Athens, Georgia, in Norman, Oklahoma, I'm living like a

157
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: freaking king. If I make eight million dollars in California, yeah,

158
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm rich, but the sweet house that my wife and

159
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: I want doesn't cost two million dollars. It costs seven.

160
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: My taxes are outrageous, highest in the country. Literally, everything

161
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: I do cost a lot of money. Now, Lincoln Riley

162
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be by the time you listen to this.

163
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: We may know he's not a million dollar contract, but

164
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: getting coaches to come could be a challenge. That's why

165
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: I thought he would never come out of here. But

166
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the landscape coaching in

167
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: the SEC, you got Mike Leach, you got Lane Kiffin

168
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: who just won ten games. You got Nick Saban, the

169
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: greatest coach in the history of the sport, who's seventy,

170
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: but he looks like he's going nowhere. Kirby Smart is

171
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: kicking everyone's ass. Jimbo Fisher, while he has some issues,

172
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: is won a national championship. It's a mother in that conference.

173
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: It is on a completely different level than every conference,

174
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: even beside the Big Ten. In the Big Tent is

175
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: clearly the second best conference. So the talent there is extreme.

176
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: And he looks at the West Coast and he goes,

177
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: who's good out there. Kyle Whittingham is really good but

178
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: he coaches at Utah. He's never getting four and five

179
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: star guys. Really, so there's only one program that's really

180
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: getting four and five star guys, and their coach isn't

181
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: that dynamic elite recruiter. But Lincoln goes, I'm every bit

182
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: is a good recruiters Mario, but I'm a way better

183
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: in game coach. Why I call the fucking plays. Mario

184
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: is the CEO head coach who's an offensive line guy,

185
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: so I can out coach him. Who else am I

186
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: going up against? Okay, Jonathan Smith Oregan State, good coach,

187
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: but he's an organ State hard to get players. The

188
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Washington Schools joke, Arizona schools laughing stock. Colorado stinks. Chip

189
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: Kelly went eight and four because of the conference he plays,

190
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: and not because they're any good. Cal in shambles. I

191
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with David Job, but they're awful.

192
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: So the conference is there for the taking, so you

193
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: get a hundred plus million dollars. And you know, listen,

194
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: I say this all the time, like I think everyone

195
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: and the older I get, and I've been fortunate enough

196
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: to have success doing talking now and making some cash

197
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: like I've not had any money. I've had some money.

198
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: Like to me, money doesn't do anything to me. It

199
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: doesn't bring you any joy. Like I've been angry without money,

200
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: I've been angry with some money. I've been happy without money,

201
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: been happy with some money, Like you want to go

202
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: to places where you can have success because money and ultimately,

203
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: like unless you're truly, truly just money drives you for everything.

204
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: I actually don't think it's that many people like it's

205
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: that higher percentage because I think it you become numb

206
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: to it relatively quickly if you're very ambitious in your field.

207
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: And most of our fields, right unless you're a banker

208
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: or a hedge fund manager, aren't just money. Like Lincoln's

209
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: field is winning football games and trying to win national championships.

210
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: So even if his direct deposit goes from seven and

211
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: a half million to twelve million, but actually be a

212
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: little less because California taxes, he's in the high tax bracket.

213
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: The point is like money ain't gonna inspire him, right,

214
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna be inspired, Like I can

215
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: win national championships because I could be the number one seat,

216
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: because I could kicked the ship out of everyone out

217
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: on the West coast. To me, that's the only thing

218
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: that makes sense. And he's already recruiting all these guys

219
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: for California. Where he goes, it's gonna be much harder

220
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: to recruit as I'm going toe to toe with L

221
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: s U once they get a real coach, Saban and

222
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: Kirby on top of just Ohio State in Michigan, come

223
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: at those guys too. Instead, I can just have California

224
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of to myself. I gotta fend off Oregon. Here's

225
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: another thing that's going on, and I think people quite

226
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: understand this. The media who just they've always dropped the

227
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: ball and players getting paid and how that works. They're

228
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: just very naive slack. I don't even know. I just

229
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: don't feel like they get it, just because N I

230
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: L is going on right now. If you don't think

231
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: people are cheating, you're out of your mind. I would

232
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: imagine cheating has never been worse. Because here's the thing, like, yeah,

233
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: I want an N I L deal if I'm a

234
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: sweet player, Okay, get me a hundred thousand dollar deal

235
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: with Dr Pepper or the local taco shop or PEPSI

236
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: I also want my two hundred grand and cash that

237
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: I don't have to painting taxes for. You know what's

238
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: better than a hundred grand taxable? Two under grand? It's

239
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: not taxable. Why don't you get them both? You don't wait,

240
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: You're just gonna give me a car for free. I

241
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: don't have to pay anything on that. I don't want

242
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: that to go away. Do you understand when you sign

243
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: these N I L deals, I have to pay taxes

244
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: on that. So like when you see all these kids

245
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not opposed to getting five grand and

246
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: paying taxes. We all pay taxes, but in the college world,

247
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: like in in normal people jobs, we all pay taxes

248
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: on our money. College kids and their families, it's more

249
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: of their families and getting paid. They don't when they

250
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: get a direct deposit in that bank account, they don't like, Hey,

251
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: there's two hundred fifty grand in there. Make sure you

252
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: save seventy taxes and anyhow it works, you just keep

253
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: it all. You keep that lump sum. And that's still

254
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: going on. And if you don't think it is, you're

255
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: out of your mind. And guess who does that more

256
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: than anyone the South. And here's what I know, because

257
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: a good buddy of mine was Lincoln Riley's basically is

258
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: GM at Oklahoma. Look, I hope Drew goes with him

259
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,359
Speaker 1: the USC because then I'll go down and watch some practices.

260
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: They don't cheat at Oklahoma. I know you think like

261
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: Middle Clop, now your knive, I promise you. Bob Stoops

262
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: was anti that crap. He's like an old school conservative

263
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to cheating. They caught Baylor one time

264
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: and Bob Stoops lost it at a Big twelve meeting.

265
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: He says, if this BS doesn't stop, I'm gonna turn

266
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: every single person in here. And Lincoln Riley carried that over.

267
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: They're not They're not cheating. They're just such a good program.

268
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: They're getting all these sweet guys. He's such a good coach.

269
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: Now the n I L thing they can pay players

270
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: that like that now, but they're not handing out these

271
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: wads of cash like the SEC. And I'm not anti

272
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: hadn't handing out wads of cash. I'm pro capitalism, Like

273
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: I think the n C double as a joke. They

274
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: are not the law. So if you want to hand

275
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: out wads of cash, do it. But some coaches aren't

276
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: comfortable with doing that stuff. And I know specific players

277
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: that are at other programs that Lincoln Riley looked at

278
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: them and said, we're not doing that, and they left.

279
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: And you're not able to do your You would not

280
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: be able to do that going into the SEC and winning,

281
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: you just won't you You probably could pull that off.

282
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't win the natural championship. You gotta push the

283
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: envelope a little bit. But he's gonna have so much

284
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: access to big companies in California he won't need to cheat.

285
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: We're in these smaller schools in the South. You don't

286
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: have a choice, So now he can. You know, got

287
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: to keep doing it the right way. You could tell

288
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma they were always a little limited. They were

289
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: always missing some guys. They weren't getting the sweetest defensive players.

290
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Guess who is the SEC. Guess who's doing you know what?

291
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: Why do you think? So it's just just a crazy move.

292
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: An enormous moment for Pack twelve football. The Pac twelve

293
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: had become the JV conference. It was a joke, a

294
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: laughing stock, and this gives him a chance to be

295
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: relevant again nationally. It does. Mario tried and was doing

296
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: a good job. Like Oregon was relevant and was in

297
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: the mix. He's fine, but he, you know, has a

298
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: ceiling being a non scheme guy. He's a recruiter. So

299
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: you get Lincoln there, who can do both, who can

300
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: scheme and recruit, and who's got some swagging and who's

301
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: got some presents and who can win? Like they should

302
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: be competing for national championships. And what's the point of

303
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: having all this money if you never spend it? As

304
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: actual Rod said in Billions, why have a few money

305
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: if you never say, f you, what was the point?

306
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Like I give the all those southern schools, Ohio State

307
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: and Michigan, Penn State. I get the Michigan State a

308
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: lot of credit. They've accumulated a lot of cash. They

309
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: cash turns into resources. Now they're using his resources and

310
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: they're using it. And finally USC just kind of whipped

311
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: it out and put it on the table. So remember us, guys,

312
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: because that's how they should act. I read an article

313
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: like a month ago that the U c l A

314
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: Was mad Chip Kelly wasn't worth it. They're like, we're

315
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: paying them four million dollars. Four million dollars is not

316
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: a lot of money, especially when you're based in l A.

317
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: Like if if you're gonna fire Chip Kelly and his

318
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: offer guys four million dollars. You're never gonna get a

319
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: good coach. Start thinking in the modern day times. This

347

Speaker 1: Harball you want. But that was a pretty big moment

348
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: and really quick on that a little NFL draft stock stuff.

349
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: Players in these big games have a lot on the line.

350
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: That is how scouts in general managers evaluate you. So

351
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: if I'm watching Cavon Thibodeau or I'm watching Hutchinson ninety

352
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: seven from Michigan the first three games, I'm gonna evaluate

353
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: that guy is on the best teams that he's played

354
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: in the biggest moments right, so Thibodeaux, I turn on Utah,

355
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: I turn on Ohio State, and then I turn on

356
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: Utah again in this championship game this week, for I

357
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: would turn on obviously Ohio State will be the first

358
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: game I'd watch. And I texted with someone yesterday in

359
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: the league and I said, could this guy be the

360
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: number one overall pick? Because when I think Dan Campbell

361
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: and I think the Lions a guy in their backyard,

362
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: this guy would make some sense, he said. Coming into

363
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: the season, Cavon Thibodeaux was easily the number one pass

364
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: rusher on every team's board, and it wasn't even close. Well,

365
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: the best part about like in any business, in any industry,

366
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: the more information you have. Everything's fluid. One days, the

367
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: stocks up, the next day, the stocks down. One day,

368
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: a guy plays good, the other day guy plays bad.

369
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: You have to evaluate at all. Well. Hutchinson ninety seven,

370
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Michigan has had an incredible season. He's dominated and then

371
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: in the biggest game with fifteen million people watching, going

372
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: up against two tackles. One was a fringe first round

373
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: guy no longer and their other tackle was like a

374
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: mid round guy. He whooped their ass and at was

375
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: the best player on the field. So he immediately went

376
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: from any had been all season long, from a guy

377
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: that wasn't gonna be competing for the number one overall

378
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: pick to playing himself into a top ten pick to

379
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: now be coming in the conversation of the number one

380
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: overall pick. No different than Wilson and Lave the two

381
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers for Ohio State. They were excellent yesterday or Saturday,

382
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: they were awesome. And you play well in big games

383
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: even if your team loses. It's a team game, like

384
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: it was not those two guys fault. Their teams lost.

385
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: Both those two guys. When watching the game, you went

386
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: first rounder, first rounder, And I have a soft spot

387
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: like even Lincoln Riley. You know, I appreciate his offensive

388
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: uh mind, but I like a little more physical football. Now.

389
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: The one thing I appreciate about him that's different from

390
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: Leech and Kingsbury. He loves running the ball and he

391
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: will pull guards, he will pull tackles, he will slam

392
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: the ball down your throat. Lincoln Riley, to me, is

393
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: the ultimate mesh of spread guy with a power run scheme.

394
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: He's like the college version of Kyle Shanahan. Deep down,

395
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: he loves. He would love to run for four hundred

396
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: yards again, and he does. When they're having success, he

397
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: will shove the ball down your throat. Jim Harbaugh is

398
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: a little more old school there. He is much spread offense, right,

399
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: he'll get in the eye even now. I guess they've

400
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: spread it out a little bit with Gaddis. But at

401
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: his core, his ethos is I want to bully you.

402
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: And I say this as society in theory can soften

403
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: up all you want. Tough people in football, it's physical.

404
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: In life, it's mental. Will always succeed. I don't give

405
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: a ship what Twitter tells you or Facebook tells you.

406
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Tough guys are always running the company's and are deciding

407
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: everything in this country. I'll promise you being soft might

408
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: be cool, like throw out some tweets, but at the

409
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, you're gonna have to negotiate for yourself.

410
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: If you're a football coach, you're gonna have to play

411
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: a good team. And Jim Harbaugh is gonna run power

412
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: every play. And he bullied Ohio State. And I think

413
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State was super talented. They have all this offensive firepower.

414
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: But when you're best players or wide receivers. Your team

415
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: is naturally gonna be a little softer. It just is.

416
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: And finally Jim Harbaugh ran into a team or house.

417
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: State had been physical the last several years, the boast

418
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: of Brothers. They've had a bunch of defensive guys. And

419
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: he outtoughed him, and he outphysical him. And the quickest

420
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: way they say to knocked out a bully right has

421
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: hit him right in the mouth. And it was the

422
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: first time harbucket hit him in the mouth, and Ohio

423
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: State stumbled a little bit, you know, if we use

424
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 1: the fight analogy, and he just kept pumbling him. And

425
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: I saw someone forwarded this to me that I guess

426
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: John Madden called or texted Jim Harball yesterday on Sunday

427
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: and told him that that was one of the best

428
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: offensive line performance he's ever seen in his life. And

429
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: I could see Jim Harbaugh, who listened. I had a

430
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: front row seat. His coaching job with the forty niners

431
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: was as good as I've ever seen for a guy

432
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: that didn't win a Super Bowl. The physical nature of

433
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: the team's uh, their killer instinct, their mindset, and that

434
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: was the first time I've watched the hardball team and

435
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: they've been like this all season, but when the game

436
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: really mattered, where you went. That's the Ready nine or

437
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: Jim Harball. That's the guy that when Michigan hired him,

438
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: we thought I was gonna kick everyone's ass. And I

439
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: don't think it's out of the row and possibility that

440
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: Michigan wins the National Championship. I think it's gonna be

441
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: tough not to be Georgia, but I think they have

442
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: a legit shot. Okay, a couple of quick things on

443
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, Belichick, I I said it last week.

444
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. You don't get paid for the

445
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: easy times, because any coach can handle winning. Joe Judge,

446
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: I bet if you watch this press conference after they

447
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: beat the Eagles, was smiling the day and happy. Anyone

448
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: can handle some wins. How do you handle adversity? How

449
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: do you handle just what do we do? Like when

450
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: you don't have all the answers, like what are we

451
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: gonna do now? How are we going to rebuild this thing?

452
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: And in their lowest moment they went seven and nine,

453
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: and then when they had to add players, they get

454
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: those two tight ends. I'm watching the last couple of weeks.

455
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: John U. Smith, that guy's good. Hunter. Henry makes place

456
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: Kendrick Borne. I saw him for years with the forty Niners.

457
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: That guy is one of the more under two players

458
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: in the league. And then to be patient not make

459
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: a crazy trade with the with the you know any

460
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: teams and just Land mac Jones who listened. I've said

461
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: it over and over is doing a fine job, but

462
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: he benefits a lot from the team he's playing on.

463
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson might be the defensive player of the year.

464
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: That guy creates turnovers every game. Today. I think he

465
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: had a pick and he forced a fumble. Dude is

466
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: just a star. Jude on Uh. That guy has been fantastic.

467
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: That there can't be more than two or three better

468
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: signings this offseason. Can't be. You could argue that's the

469
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: best offseason signing. He has been awesome for the Patriots.

470
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots. You know what Bill Belichick did. He got

471
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: back to who he is because his ethos, Like like

472
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I said with Lincoln Riley, Bill Belichick is most comfortable

473
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: playing defense and running the ball. Now he can modernize

474
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: it to be in two thousand twenty one, but that's

475
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 1: how he's gonna win because deep down, he knows that

476
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: better than anyone. And you're watching his team right now,

477
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: and the list of the Titans were underman at a

478
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: bunch of injuries, but they beat the ship out of them.

479
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: They dominated that game. You went, the Patriots are real,

480
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 1: Like this is not fake. They are dominating these games,

481
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: shoving people around, and like hard bought Michigan on Saturday,

482
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: and like Hardball when he was with the Niners. It

483
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee you a National championship or super Bowl, but

484
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: when I can physically shove you around, I have a

485
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: chance to win every game at home, on the road,

486
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: in the snow, in the sleep, in a dome. It

487
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: don't matter because nothing travels like defense in a running game.

488
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 1: Nothing does, especially when you have a rookie quarterback. They

489
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: are very very well situated to be a force. It's

490
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna be the Bills. They better get the stuff together

491
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be a very challenging to beat this

492
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: team twice in the next whatever three weeks. It's gonna

493
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge. I'll be I'll be shocked

494
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: if the Patriots don't win one of the two games.

495
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's out of the realm possibility

496
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: for Bill to win. But I think it's gonna be very,

497
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: very tough. Josh gonna Josh Allen's gonna have to play well.

498
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to play well. Just like Tampa to day,

499
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: they were like their season wasn't falling apart, but it

500
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: was like, God, something's off. They were losing. I think

501
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: it was four seven. I had the game on. I

502
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: was like, God, are they gonna lose this game? And

503
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: pretty big gutty win. Now, part of it was Leonard Fournette.

504
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: I say this about all the time with Tom Brady,

505
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: like it's a huge benefit just to have him sign

506
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: off on these guys, because remember when they signed Leonard Fournette,

507
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: it was like, are they really gonna do that? Who

508
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: wants Leonard Fournette? Well, today average six yards of carry,

509
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: he had three touchdowns, he caught another seven balls and

510
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He had four touchdowns a day. And because

511
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: you just don't act like an idiot when you're around

512
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, so you can take these chances. And you

513
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: know the crazy part about Tom is I just pulled

514
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: up the box score and there's an ad. You know,

515
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm on ESPN and there's an ad Hurts it's Tom

516
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: in the car. Tom is so famous, he's one of

517
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: the most marketable stars in the history of the sport.

518
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: Yet it feels like he's just a normal guy right with,

519
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: you know, in the construct of his team, and it

520
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: keeps them very level headed, because, like I said, with

521
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, it felt like this team was teetering a

522
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: little bit. But really, when you're teetering, when you got Belichick,

523
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: you got Brady in the building, You're gonna be okay.

524
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: It ain't gonna sink like the Titanic. You might not

525
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: win at all, you might lose in the playoffs, something

526
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: weird might happen, but it's gonna be okay. You will

527
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: be able to get through some of the rough seas.

528
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: And today is a really good example because I just

529
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: thought like they were down. They were down fourteen and

530
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: a half and and he's got to be one of

531
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: the hottest teams in the league. Jonathan Taylor had been awesome,

532
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Carson been good, their team had just been playing really well.

533
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: And for the for Tampa to score twenty four points

534
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: in the second half, it's just an impressive moment, especially

535
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 1: in the NFC, which the Rays are in shambles. Uh,

536
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: it's basically Tampa. We'll see Arizona. They've had a bunch

537
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: of injuries. Now they're coming off a bye and Schefter

538
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: tweets that Oklahoma wants Cliff Well, I don't know about that,

539
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: but uh, San Francisco is coming. You know, the NFC

540
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: is wide open, wide open, and we know how important

541
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: the number one overall seat is, especially for Tampa because

542
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: there's a big difference for Tom playing on the road.

543
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: You know, in Green Bay you'd want no part of that.

544
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: You can handle playing on the road in Uh, it's

545
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: not in Scottsdale, it's in Glendale. In Arizona because it's

546
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: a dome, it's nice weather, but we saw last year

547
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: it's snowy, it's cold. It's very difficult. If you're Tom.

548
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: You either want to get the number one seed or not.

549
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: Like Green Bay at the number one seed, you want

550
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: no part of going to Green Bay again and tested

551
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: your luck at Lambeau. Even though Aaron Rodgers is one

552
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: in five in in NFC championship games. So what a

553
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: Sunday A lot of college football talk still crazy, man,

554
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,520
