WEBVTT - Not So Fast Episode 3 0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:07.790 I'm not so fast. I'm Andrew Perloff. He's Paul Paps. Paul, 0:00:07.830 --> 0:00:14.490 we are one week away from the NFL season starting. Seahawks, Patriots, NBC, 0:00:14.930 --> 0:00:15.670 status report. 0:00:15.890 --> 0:00:18.970 Status report, plus college football, five days of college football 0:00:18.989 --> 0:00:21.500 starting tomorrow night. Status report, you've got to get focused 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.160 for the season. I'm not going to do the say 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.080 bye to the family thing, but you've got to get 0:00:25.100 --> 0:00:27.500 your subscriptions ready. You've got to get your man cave ready, 0:00:27.660 --> 0:00:30.380 all your TVs, your grill, everything. You've got to get prepared. 0:00:30.780 --> 0:00:33.120 I'll see my family on Tuesdays and Wednesdays unless there's 0:00:33.140 --> 0:00:33.520 a Mac game. 0:00:33.990 --> 0:00:34.480 Oh, yeah. 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.840 I mean, also, this is the most sleep we're going 0:00:36.860 --> 0:00:39.839 to have. Starting next week, we're going to come in 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.059 looking worse than this, actually. 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.640 I don't think that's possible. Football tired is the best tired. 0:00:44.060 --> 0:00:46.699 Definitely. All right. So we have one week left. What 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.909 is the one storyline in the NFL that is really 0:00:50.310 --> 0:00:51.909 still on your mind that you haven't figured out? 0:00:52.030 --> 0:00:54.450 If I get one, I would go with the Detroit Lions. 0:00:54.510 --> 0:00:56.330 And the Detroit Lions, two years ago, were almost in 0:00:56.350 --> 0:00:59.290 the Super Bowl. Up 24 points at halftime. You're making 0:00:59.350 --> 0:01:01.550 plans for the Super Bowl. They have the same lineup. 0:01:01.670 --> 0:01:06.200 Amon Ross St. Brown, Jared Goff. Gibbs, Panay Sewell, Aiden Hutchinson. 0:01:06.670 --> 0:01:09.390 Everyone's there, but it feels like they've just cooled or 0:01:09.430 --> 0:01:11.850 the public has cooled on them. No one's saying, hey, 0:01:11.870 --> 0:01:14.570 it's the Lions' year because I think people got burned 0:01:14.590 --> 0:01:18.050 a little bit. I think they're contenders, but everyone's picking, hey, 0:01:18.110 --> 0:01:21.610 Caleb Williams, we love Caleb, or Jordan Love, or there's 0:01:21.660 --> 0:01:24.480 new shiny toys in the NFC North. So I don't 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.560 know how contender-ish the Lions are. I still think they are, 0:01:27.580 --> 0:01:28.380 but the public doesn't. 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.850 Well, what was missing last year? And you're a Bears fan. 0:01:32.230 --> 0:01:34.759 Well, Ben Johnson. They lost Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, 0:01:34.780 --> 0:01:37.740 their coordinators. Ben Johnson stayed an extra year. He had 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.059 that Washington job a couple years ago and he passed 0:01:40.140 --> 0:01:42.500 on it. And that was that year where you're thinking, okay, 0:01:42.580 --> 0:01:44.370 they're going to win it now. Ben Johnson's staying and 0:01:44.390 --> 0:01:47.510 they missed. So Lions are one of the great stories 0:01:47.570 --> 0:01:49.790 or could be one of the great stories in American sports. 0:01:50.310 --> 0:01:52.370 But it feels like it's just getting away from them. 0:01:52.410 --> 0:01:55.950 Well, they have injuries in their defensive backfield. Brian Branch 0:01:56.050 --> 0:01:58.090 is a big player for them. They always get hurt. 0:01:58.290 --> 0:02:00.470 I want to pick the Lions. I love the Lions. 0:02:00.490 --> 0:02:02.280 I love Jameer Gibbs. And they say hell. 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.240 The Lions are like the Cubs 10 years ago. America 0:02:04.260 --> 0:02:05.940 would get around the Lions. All right, what's your one? 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:11.040 Okay, there's one huge story that is over the whole NFL. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.560 What version of Patrick Mahomes are we going to see 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:18.049 this season? Starting week one, plays the Broncos Monday night. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:20.940 Andy Reid hasn't said he's even going to play yet. 0:02:21.060 --> 0:02:23.060 So I'm going to assume he's out there, but is 0:02:23.100 --> 0:02:25.880 he full strength? The best thing about Patrick Mahomes is 0:02:25.900 --> 0:02:29.519 his improvisation, and all he can do when the pass 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.320 rush gets at him, he will kill you in the 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.340 fourth quarter. I don't think we're going to see that 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.530 this year, Paul, and I worry. Can he pick you 0:02:35.540 --> 0:02:37.790 apart from the pocket? Does he have the receivers? Is 0:02:37.810 --> 0:02:41.030 that O-line healthy? There's so many questions with Kansas City, 0:02:42.169 --> 0:02:43.250 yet we don't count them out. 0:02:43.350 --> 0:02:45.190 Never count them out. You said a couple weeks ago 0:02:45.210 --> 0:02:47.570 when we were chatting, you said maybe let Mahomes ease 0:02:47.650 --> 0:02:49.169 in and not play in Week 1 and not push 0:02:49.210 --> 0:02:51.450 it because you don't need Week 1. Let Justin Fields 0:02:51.490 --> 0:02:53.610 see if he can pick off a victory. And I 0:02:53.630 --> 0:02:55.820 think that's an interesting case. The other thing about the Chiefs, 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.480 what I don't understand is, do they have a killer 0:02:58.540 --> 0:03:00.640 on their team? Do they have that one guy who 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:01.600 you can't stop? 0:03:01.860 --> 0:03:02.980 Well, Chris Jones, though. 0:03:03.180 --> 0:03:05.990 Chris Jones on defense. But is Xavier Worthy going to 0:03:06.030 --> 0:03:08.910 be great or just good? Is Rasheed Rice going to 0:03:08.970 --> 0:03:11.670 stay on your roster for 17 games? Because I love 0:03:11.690 --> 0:03:14.940 him on the field. Kenneth Walker III. It's possible they 0:03:14.980 --> 0:03:17.540 transition into not a run-first team, but a run-heavy team. 0:03:17.820 --> 0:03:21.269 Yeah, I mean, they have been especially non-explosive as a 0:03:21.330 --> 0:03:23.610 run game. They never have long runs. So Kenneth Walker 0:03:23.690 --> 0:03:25.970 adds a ton there, takes some pressure off of Mahomes. 0:03:26.050 --> 0:03:28.570 And it also shows their thinking. Because remember a couple 0:03:28.610 --> 0:03:32.010 years ago, they got Isaiah Pacheco out of Rutgers. Seventh-round pick, 0:03:32.050 --> 0:03:34.260 they paid him nothing. He was a nice running back 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.600 for them. They brought Kareem Hunt back. They didn't pay 0:03:36.660 --> 0:03:38.360 him a lot of money. They don't invest in the 0:03:38.420 --> 0:03:40.900 running back position, but they think now, Mahomes is not 0:03:40.940 --> 0:03:42.700 going to run as much. Mahomes is on the other 0:03:42.740 --> 0:03:44.780 side of 30. Let's give him a real running game. 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.760 You know, he tours ACL on December 14th. That is 0:03:47.900 --> 0:03:49.280 not a lot of time, Paul. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.880 These days it seems like that's the time block. 0:03:52.020 --> 0:03:54.600 I don't know. Remember Brady tore his ACL sort of 0:03:54.660 --> 0:03:56.990 mid-dynasty for the Patriots, but they had a year where 0:03:57.030 --> 0:03:59.690 he wasn't at his top. I say two years really 0:03:59.750 --> 0:04:00.490 on the Chiefs for me. 0:04:00.530 --> 0:04:02.730 Tom Brady in his 30s didn't even need his ACLs. 0:04:02.770 --> 0:04:04.330 He stood back there and got rid of the ball. 0:04:04.370 --> 0:04:06.370 He didn't even have an ACL. All right, let's get 0:04:06.390 --> 0:04:08.230 to a little bit of college football. So we talk 0:04:08.250 --> 0:04:09.610 a lot of college football on this show and not 0:04:09.630 --> 0:04:12.650 so fast. Let's get to Arch Manning in Texas. A 0:04:12.750 --> 0:04:15.230 lot of people like Arch Manning and Texas, not in 0:04:15.250 --> 0:04:17.190 that order, to win the national title. They're definitely in 0:04:17.210 --> 0:04:19.770 the mix. But I'm wondering with Arch Manning, has the 0:04:19.810 --> 0:04:22.880 hype from his freshman year being a Manning family member 0:04:23.779 --> 0:04:26.460 not cooled off but kind of calmed down a little bit? 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.720 There's other people to talk about, Indiana and Miami and Oregon. 0:04:31.180 --> 0:04:33.240 And it feels like he's in the perfect position to 0:04:33.540 --> 0:04:35.720 finish out his college career. He still has two years 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.460 of eligibility, not just one. But what is a successful 0:04:38.500 --> 0:04:40.180 season for Arch in your mind? And I'll give you mine. 0:04:40.700 --> 0:04:42.070 Well, he has to make the playoff. 0:04:42.410 --> 0:04:42.669 Oh, yeah. 0:04:43.029 --> 0:04:45.330 Because I think he's tied to Steve Sarkeesian, the head coach. 0:04:45.510 --> 0:04:47.500 And if they don't make the playoff, Stark is out, 0:04:47.580 --> 0:04:51.070 in my opinion. I mean, this is an unbelievable team. 0:04:51.390 --> 0:04:54.310 Last year, he had no O-line, no run game, and 0:04:54.529 --> 0:04:57.220 iffy wide receivers. This year, he's got a fixed O-line, 0:04:57.260 --> 0:04:59.840 some injuries there, but he's got Cam Coleman, a wide receiver, 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:02.160 who's outstanding. Yes. Former Auburn player. 0:05:02.180 --> 0:05:02.760 Great transfer. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.420 So he had some excuses. Not that we're about excuses, 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.270 but last year, he sort of had to learn the system. 0:05:08.370 --> 0:05:10.450 He played much better in the second half. This year, 0:05:10.630 --> 0:05:12.930 they should be ready to go. And if they're not 0:05:12.970 --> 0:05:15.570 a playoff team, Paul, that's a disaster. So I'm not 0:05:15.610 --> 0:05:17.980 going national title, but I am definitely going college football player. 0:05:18.180 --> 0:05:19.840 And I fell for the bait a little bit last year. 0:05:19.860 --> 0:05:21.360 I think on the Dan Patrick, it was said it's 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.660 Arch Manning versus the field for the Heisman. I got 0:05:23.779 --> 0:05:25.560 all cut up. You know, I kind of look like 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.920 a Manning brother. Cooper's my favorite. But I will say, though, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.580 that Arch Manning when the Heisman don't care about it. 0:05:31.870 --> 0:05:35.690 Eli didn't win it. Peyton didn't win it. The dad 0:05:35.710 --> 0:05:37.910 didn't win it. Who cares about the Heisman? win a 0:05:37.950 --> 0:05:40.370 national title. Nobody in the family even came close to 0:05:40.410 --> 0:05:41.050 a national title. 0:05:41.410 --> 0:05:44.520 Wow, that's true. For me, you know, I also define 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.890 him as being the number one overall pick. Because Eli 0:05:48.050 --> 0:05:50.990 and Peyton did that. So, to me, it's more about 0:05:51.029 --> 0:05:53.290 his NFL future as well because he's a Manning. You're right. 0:05:53.529 --> 0:05:55.450 The Mannings haven't really gotten to the highest level of 0:05:55.470 --> 0:05:58.280 college football. They have gone number one. And Eli was 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.010 not the best college quarterback. No. He still went number one. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:01.260 Yeah. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.239 At Ole Miss, they never got close to really doing damage. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.450 Look at Texas plus 650. I want to do a 0:06:06.490 --> 0:06:08.529 minute on that. At the draft for right now. 0:06:08.550 --> 0:06:08.870 Yeah. 0:06:09.190 --> 0:06:12.010 Do you think Arch Manning is third overall pick? Because 0:06:12.029 --> 0:06:15.240 I think that's what people think. Third overall quarterback. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.659 How many experts have come on the Dan Patrick Show 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.000 this week and said C.J. Carr is the guy to watch? 0:06:20.339 --> 0:06:21.659 Yes. 0:06:21.740 --> 0:06:24.119 Then a lot of people have Dante Moore. I would 0:06:24.140 --> 0:06:26.250 say right now, Paul, it's Arch Manning number one. 0:06:26.260 --> 0:06:26.839 You're staying with it. 0:06:27.190 --> 0:06:30.310 He is tall. He has a big arm. He can run. 0:06:30.370 --> 0:06:30.830 Last name. 0:06:30.930 --> 0:06:34.010 His last name is Manning. And come on, Eli, if 0:06:34.130 --> 0:06:36.070 Eli can go number one, you're telling me Arch can't 0:06:36.110 --> 0:06:36.690 go number one? 0:06:36.830 --> 0:06:39.479 Yeah, it does seem like I've always said that Arch Manning, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.520 his last name helps him so much. It's like the 0:06:41.860 --> 0:06:43.480 safe pick. We used to do a thing back in 0:06:43.500 --> 0:06:46.960 the old Leisureman days, the bust meter. There's not a possibility, 0:06:46.980 --> 0:06:49.400 at least I think what teams think is that Arch 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.670 Manning cannot be a bust. He will be a good quarterback. 0:06:52.010 --> 0:06:54.010 If you look at Eli Manning during the regular season, 0:06:54.050 --> 0:06:56.270 he was a good NFL quarterback, but then he had 0:06:56.580 --> 0:06:58.839 Two playoff runs that made him a legend and got 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.020 him into the Hall of Fame someday. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.870 Do you remember last year in the middle of the season, 0:07:03.930 --> 0:07:05.810 Will Leach wrote an article, our old friend. 0:07:05.930 --> 0:07:06.390 Absolutely. 0:07:06.610 --> 0:07:10.450 That Arch Manning was college football's first bust. Turned out 0:07:10.890 --> 0:07:13.650 Will was wrong because Arch picked it up tremendously in 0:07:13.670 --> 0:07:15.490 the second half of the season. And I think he 0:07:15.530 --> 0:07:17.090 came out of last year doing just fine. 0:07:17.150 --> 0:07:19.350 And Arch Manning could have gone to other colleges and said, 0:07:19.390 --> 0:07:21.210 you're going to start week one, week one of your 0:07:21.270 --> 0:07:23.290 freshman year. But he went to Texas. He liked Texas. 0:07:23.830 --> 0:07:26.310 And they had Quinn Ewers, and they let Quinn Ewers 0:07:26.350 --> 0:07:28.710 have that extra year. Was that the right decision? Who knows. 0:07:29.070 --> 0:07:30.370 But Quinn Ewers held them off for a while. 0:07:30.470 --> 0:07:32.470 Did you write that down? I still have Archie number 0:07:32.530 --> 0:07:33.570 one overall. Yeah. 0:07:34.030 --> 0:07:37.090 Man, I'm going to let that breathe a little bit. Scott, yeah, 0:07:37.190 --> 0:07:39.170 we're rolling on that. Let's stick with a little bit 0:07:39.210 --> 0:07:41.030 of college football. One of the games of the weekend 0:07:41.090 --> 0:07:44.510 is Clemson versus LSU. Clemson, I think they're getting 10 0:07:44.510 --> 0:07:47.590 from LSU, and people are focusing on the Lane Kiffin, 0:07:47.690 --> 0:07:50.390 the pros back to LSU, all that stuff that's been 0:07:50.420 --> 0:07:53.190 going on the past month. But this is an opportunity. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.550 This is an opportunity for Dabo Sweeney because he's cooled 0:07:56.610 --> 0:07:57.650 off a little bit. Let's hear from him. 0:08:00.010 --> 0:08:03.330 Rarely am I at a loss for words, but Chapel Womack, 0:08:03.390 --> 0:08:06.170 kind of a loss of words. I would just say 0:08:06.210 --> 0:08:10.890 it's kind of embarrassing. I mean, honestly, it's just embarrassing. 0:08:12.660 --> 0:08:13.840 That that's where we are. 0:08:13.860 --> 0:08:16.600 I don't blame the kids and people trying to take 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.620 advantage of the system. I just think it's embarrassing where 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.200 we are with college football. We've been there for a while, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:26.330 all that outside stuff. No pun intended, we just stay 0:08:26.350 --> 0:08:28.650 in our lane here at Clemson. 0:08:28.810 --> 0:08:29.250 Try to. 0:08:29.650 --> 0:08:32.130 That was Coach's joke. Stay in the lane. I almost 0:08:32.190 --> 0:08:35.020 missed that one, Coach. Thanks for explaining. Also to explain, 0:08:35.340 --> 0:08:37.680 he was talking about pros going back to college and 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.340 how We won't have that at Clemson. 0:08:39.500 --> 0:08:41.839 I mean, Dabo wouldn't even use the transfer portal. You 0:08:41.860 --> 0:08:43.020 think he's going to take a guy who was in 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.020 the NFL camp? 0:08:44.059 --> 0:08:45.000 He still has dial-up. 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.920 But here's the thing. This old-school mentality, it's not working, Paul. 0:08:50.300 --> 0:08:52.079 It's cool if you're winning. If you could be a 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.900 throwback and you're winning, everyone's fine with it. But unfortunately, 0:08:55.540 --> 0:08:58.280 Dabo Sweeney and Clemson, they lost six games last year. 0:08:58.300 --> 0:09:03.850 They were 7-6. From 2015 to 2020... Six seasons, Clemson 0:09:03.870 --> 0:09:07.109 lost seven total regular season games. It's a different era 0:09:07.130 --> 0:09:08.969 for him, and if you don't think he's on the 0:09:08.990 --> 0:09:09.710 hot seat, you're nuts. 0:09:10.270 --> 0:09:11.929 Oh, absolutely. And you know what's funny? He is the 0:09:12.010 --> 0:09:16.080 diametric opposite of Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin's all new school. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.160 I'll try anything to win. Dabo's got to do it 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.360 his way. And again, kind of like Nick Saban, I 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.560 don't think he's going to be able to keep doing this. 0:09:24.700 --> 0:09:26.520 I don't even think he's going to want to stay 0:09:26.540 --> 0:09:28.140 in this sport if it keeps going this direction. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.040 But this is an opportunity for him this weekend because 0:09:30.330 --> 0:09:32.429 Davos is kind of off the radar a little bit. 0:09:32.470 --> 0:09:34.970 The hot guys are the younger guys. And it's been 0:09:35.010 --> 0:09:36.610 a while since they were in the national title picture. 0:09:36.850 --> 0:09:39.730 He has an opportunity to. throw cold water all over 0:09:39.770 --> 0:09:42.050 the Lane Kiffin LSU story, and it's a 10-point dog. 0:09:42.090 --> 0:09:44.429 That's not 25. That's 10. I just checked. 10 is 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:44.650 not 25. 0:09:44.650 --> 0:09:46.880 Well, I mean, listen, he used to have Deshaun Watson. 0:09:46.900 --> 0:09:48.300 He used to have Trevor Lawrence. He used to have 0:09:48.460 --> 0:09:52.140 five pro receivers on his roster, pro running backs. Clemson 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.870 can't stack talent like that anymore. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:54.520 It's a money thing. 0:09:54.990 --> 0:09:58.150 Yeah, it's a money thing. Also, programs cool off. Remember 0:09:58.170 --> 0:10:02.130 when we were kids, Nebraska was... unbeatable. Oklahoma was great. Florida, 0:10:02.150 --> 0:10:04.510 Florida State had their run. Yes. I think Clemson's run 0:10:04.550 --> 0:10:05.530 is over. It's a cycle. 0:10:05.809 --> 0:10:07.210 Unless they can pull it off this weekend. 0:10:07.390 --> 0:10:11.830 Yeah. All right, coming up, we have a lot going 0:10:11.910 --> 0:10:15.469 on for the rest of the shows. Chiefs favored in 0:10:15.510 --> 0:10:18.420 AFC West. I said Mahomes may not be ready to 0:10:18.460 --> 0:10:21.340 go week one, but I think they could still not 0:10:21.380 --> 0:10:23.720 only make a noise in AFC West, the entire AFC. 0:10:23.740 --> 0:10:25.120 That's coming up next. Not so fast. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.140 Warm takes. I don't even know your warm takes today. 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:29.820 You've been hiding warm takes on me, by the way. 0:10:29.990 --> 0:10:31.790 Friends don't do that. Friends don't hide warm takes. 0:10:31.809 --> 0:10:32.410 Because they're very warm. 0:10:33.330 --> 0:10:39.970 Not hot, though. Just cozy and warm. Here we go, Pearl. 0:10:40.070 --> 0:10:42.030 We didn't get pizza with the boys. Dan and the 0:10:42.050 --> 0:10:43.949 guys are taking all the pizza. But we've got a 0:10:43.950 --> 0:10:46.750 little something for you. This is at Wisconsin Badger Games. 0:10:47.390 --> 0:10:51.930 This is fantastic. This is Badger Bites, Badger Bakes. Baked 0:10:51.990 --> 0:10:55.380 potato bar. They're doing three different baked potatoes. Poutine in 0:10:55.420 --> 0:10:59.960 that one. I love that. A lot of bacon. Heavy, big, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.960 starchy meals. Nothing says Wisconsin on it. I love that 0:11:03.340 --> 0:11:03.839 more than this. 0:11:03.860 --> 0:11:05.620 Do you have to add corn to a baked potato? 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.120 I feel like you've got plenty of starch with a 0:11:07.140 --> 0:11:09.260 baked potato. I'm going to go against the grain here. 0:11:09.830 --> 0:11:11.929 I just want butter or sour cream. I don't need 0:11:11.970 --> 0:11:13.450 all that fancy stuff on my baked potato. 0:11:13.470 --> 0:11:16.210 You're bougie. You're from the Northeast. You know, people from 0:11:16.230 --> 0:11:19.690 the Midwest. You know, a football game in the Midwest, Wisconsin, 0:11:19.710 --> 0:11:23.670 you have like a sit-down meal as your meal. Like Michigan, 0:11:23.690 --> 0:11:25.750 I think they have meatloaf you can get at this concession. 0:11:25.970 --> 0:11:27.510 How do you eat a baked potato in the stands? 0:11:28.030 --> 0:11:29.510 You get it like this, like a football, and then 0:11:29.530 --> 0:11:31.429 you get a big just like a shovel and just 0:11:31.490 --> 0:11:34.189 hammer it down. You're wearing camo. You're at a Michigan game. 0:11:34.210 --> 0:11:36.590 You're at a Wisconsin game, an Iowa game, whatever. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.819 Can you put it in a helmet like at a 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:40.240 baseball game? 0:11:40.260 --> 0:11:41.450 I don't know, but I like where your head's at. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.099 It's time for one of America's favorite segments. It's catching 0:11:44.260 --> 0:11:46.260 on all over the country. It's time for warm takes. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.250 Nothing too hot, nice and cozy, just like Wisconsin this 0:11:50.270 --> 0:11:52.370 time of year. I'm going to go first. Warm take. 0:11:53.130 --> 0:11:54.970 The Big Ten this weekend, if you're watching Big Ten 0:11:55.010 --> 0:11:57.790 games on NBC or other, you'll notice when they do replays, 0:11:58.130 --> 0:11:59.449 they're going to actually go up to the booth and 0:11:59.470 --> 0:12:01.610 everyone's going to be mic'd up. And the ACC did 0:12:01.630 --> 0:12:05.050 this last year, and it worked out really well. Transparency. Now, 0:12:05.070 --> 0:12:06.290 I know this has to do with gambling, but I 0:12:06.309 --> 0:12:09.230 think it's also becoming entertainment. When you watch those ACC games, 0:12:09.650 --> 0:12:12.000 you see those guys upstairs checking out the thing, and 0:12:12.010 --> 0:12:13.780 then they go in the booth. And there's always like 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.080 three dudes in black polo shirts that look like IT 0:12:17.100 --> 0:12:19.380 guys standing around with headsets, and they're going over everything. 0:12:19.820 --> 0:12:22.020 And they're really measuring their words like lawyers because they 0:12:22.059 --> 0:12:24.480 know the entire country is listening, saying, is this two 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.179 feet in, one feet in? Did they complete the process 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.460 of the catch? But it's great for fans. We want transparency. 0:12:30.500 --> 0:12:32.960 And now it's become like an entertainment piece for the games. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.390 My question is... ACC is doing it. Big Ten is 0:12:36.429 --> 0:12:39.380 doing it. All the college conferences will do this. Transparency 0:12:39.390 --> 0:12:42.160 during the replay. Will the NFL ever do it? Pearl, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.099 you're the NFL guy. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.760 I think no. They should because it is incredibly entertaining. 0:12:46.780 --> 0:12:48.620 I can't wait to see this as well. But the 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.040 NFL is guarded, man. I don't know if they're going 0:12:51.059 --> 0:12:51.360 to do this. 0:12:51.460 --> 0:12:53.479 I completely agree with you on this one. I think 0:12:53.500 --> 0:12:56.680 the NFL will hold this off as long as they can. Eventually, 0:12:56.700 --> 0:12:58.860 maybe all the colleges do it, and they'll feel the pressure. 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.020 But the NFL, I don't... Transparency isn't their. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:02.400 No. 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.380 Not their first thing. They don't lead with that. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.940 They're great at making money. Yes. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.140 They're great at scheduling things and stomping out other sports. 0:13:09.179 --> 0:13:10.400 But transparency, not so much. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.990 Not so much. Not through the years. Usually, they get caught. Usually, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:15.609 they don't reveal. 0:13:15.630 --> 0:13:16.150 You said that. 0:13:16.590 --> 0:13:19.550 I'm sticking the NFL for my warm take. I'm an 0:13:19.690 --> 0:13:22.829 Eagles fan, and I was excited because GQ did a 0:13:22.870 --> 0:13:26.740 feature on our quarterback, Jalen Hurts, titled... Can anyone decode 0:13:26.780 --> 0:13:31.180 Jalen Hurts, the NFL's most cryptic quarterback? Now, I got 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.380 to be honest, Paul, people do not love Jalen Hurts 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.150 in Philadelphia. Some do. Some are kind of lukewarm on him. 0:13:36.610 --> 0:13:38.850 The issue is you don't know him. And some people 0:13:38.890 --> 0:13:41.150 want to get to know their athlete before they cheer 0:13:41.170 --> 0:13:44.330 for them. I am not one of those people. I 0:13:44.610 --> 0:13:46.000 go up and down with Jalen Hurts, but it has 0:13:46.050 --> 0:13:48.160 nothing to do with his personality. I don't care what 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.980 he says in the postgame or in the locker room. 0:13:51.620 --> 0:13:54.000 I want to see him play well. Now, last year 0:13:54.020 --> 0:13:56.050 I had some issues with Jalen Hurts. My main issue, 0:13:56.390 --> 0:13:59.890 he would not run. He was running horizontally, not vertically. 0:14:00.250 --> 0:14:02.790 He was a great runner early in his career. Obviously, 0:14:02.850 --> 0:14:05.290 a lot of quarterbacks slow down in that regard. But 0:14:05.330 --> 0:14:07.570 I thought he was protecting himself too much, and I 0:14:07.630 --> 0:14:09.960 ripped him for that. Not because I have no idea 0:14:10.010 --> 0:14:12.020 what TV show he likes. I don't need to know 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.260 my athletes, Paul. In fact, when you think you know 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.700 an athlete, you don't really know him. For example... Deshaun 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.840 Watson was one of the NFL's good guys. Turns out 0:14:19.860 --> 0:14:20.680 that was not true. 0:14:20.700 --> 0:14:21.120 Not so true. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.490 And I'll tell you one thing, Tom Brady. I thought 0:14:23.540 --> 0:14:25.530 I knew a Tom Brady when he was playing that 0:14:25.610 --> 0:14:28.670 he was this kind of guy. And then after retirement, Paul, 0:14:28.970 --> 0:14:30.610 he's been all over the place. It turns out I 0:14:30.630 --> 0:14:31.370 don't know Tom. 0:14:31.210 --> 0:14:33.010 Brady at all. Yeah, until you said it. I didn't 0:14:33.030 --> 0:14:35.090 know Jalen Hurts was in GQ. And you think, does 0:14:35.130 --> 0:14:37.050 he want to be a star? But he also wants 0:14:37.070 --> 0:14:39.810 to be guarded and measured. Usually those things don't go together. 0:14:39.830 --> 0:14:41.390 Is he trying to be a mystery guy and just 0:14:41.430 --> 0:14:44.770 do GQ and do some fashion stuff? It's interesting because... 0:14:45.070 --> 0:14:46.890 He won a title for you guys. He was part 0:14:46.930 --> 0:14:49.570 of a title, won a title for the Philadelphia Eagles fans. 0:14:50.030 --> 0:14:51.950 So you think you get the hall pass, but you 0:14:51.970 --> 0:14:54.150 don't have to like an athlete to love what they 0:14:54.170 --> 0:14:55.540 do for you. And that might be an example. 0:14:55.700 --> 0:14:57.640 No, it's great. If you read the article, you really 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.000 get it because the interviewer asked him direct questions and 0:15:01.020 --> 0:15:04.910 he gives these... Long-winded answers. Cryptic. You know how quarterbacks 0:15:04.950 --> 0:15:06.530 can do that where they're trying not to say anything? 0:15:06.950 --> 0:15:08.750 I read this about Jalen Hurts, and somehow I knew 0:15:08.790 --> 0:15:10.010 less about the man. 0:15:10.270 --> 0:15:11.810 I read an article and knew less. It sounds like 0:15:11.850 --> 0:15:13.770 me in high school reading algebra. All right, let's get 0:15:13.790 --> 0:15:16.080 to my next warm take here. Oh, this is good news. 0:15:16.100 --> 0:15:16.640 This is good news. 0:15:17.460 --> 0:15:17.620 L.A. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.120 Rams owner, and he owns other teams, Stan Kroenke, has 0:15:20.220 --> 0:15:21.240 bought the L.A. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:21.740 Angels. 0:15:21.860 --> 0:15:23.740 This is good news. If you're an Angels fan, thank 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.360 your personal God. For the past 17 years, the Angels, 0:15:27.380 --> 0:15:29.770 you know how many times they made the playoffs? One time. 0:15:30.470 --> 0:15:32.690 One for 17. It's like John Starks in the playoffs. 0:15:33.090 --> 0:15:35.310 It's hard to make the playoffs once out of 17 0:15:35.310 --> 0:15:38.090 times as a baseball team. The LA Angels found a 0:15:38.130 --> 0:15:41.890 way to waste Mike Trout's entire career. They wasted having Otani. 0:15:41.930 --> 0:15:43.530 They didn't trade him when they could have or sign 0:15:43.570 --> 0:15:45.970 him when they should have. They wasted Josh Hamilton. They 0:15:45.990 --> 0:15:48.710 wasted Albert Pujols. They had a draft a couple years ago. 0:15:48.750 --> 0:15:52.030 Look at this. I got so many notes. The 2021 0:15:52.030 --> 0:15:56.460 Angels draft. They drafted 20 pitchers and no hitters. I 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.700 remember talking about that and saying that is like baseball malpractice. 0:16:00.100 --> 0:16:02.600 You have to have a balance. Stomping. They're getting stomped 0:16:02.660 --> 0:16:05.450 by the Dodgers every day. This is great news. Stan 0:16:05.470 --> 0:16:08.450 Kroenke spends. Stan Kroenke tries to win. If you're an 0:16:08.510 --> 0:16:11.210 Angels fan, you should have a parade today because you 0:16:11.250 --> 0:16:13.170 haven't had a parade since almost ever. 0:16:13.850 --> 0:16:15.470 Wow. Yes, L.A. 0:16:15.510 --> 0:16:16.210 Has had parades. 0:16:16.470 --> 0:16:19.770 Here's my concern. Now, Stan Kroenke wins everywhere, right? But 0:16:20.110 --> 0:16:23.370 the Angels are a classic second team in a big city. Oh, Clippers. 0:16:23.490 --> 0:16:27.370 And they were always the Clippers, the Jets, the Mets. 0:16:27.850 --> 0:16:30.850 I mean, they are historic franchises. But will the Angels 0:16:30.970 --> 0:16:33.109
