There is one 9 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: major headline that took place Saturday that'll be talked about 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: for years. Let's not bury the lead now. I went 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: on several shows this past week and I made the 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: comment that I can't remember when a defending national champion 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: Michigan Wolverines were getting twenty one points in a game 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: the following year. And I did understand that Ryan Day 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: was six and twelve against the spread in November home games, 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: and I grabbed the twenty one points and if you 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: bet the game on the money line, one hundred would 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: bring you back nine hundred and seventy eight dollars, which 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: meant Michigan had about an eight percent chance of winning 20 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: this game. I didn't think they'd win the game, not 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: in a million years. I took the points, but I 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: didn't think they'd win the game. And therein lies the 23 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: opening for my narrative. Let's take a twenty point underdog 24 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 2: march in a walk on quarterback who's a cancer survivor. 25 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: You're missing your best defensive player in Will Johnson, your 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: best offensive player in Colston Lovelin. You have a first 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: year coach who lost seventeen starters last year, coming up 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: lost seventies starters from last year's team, coming up against 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: a team who just spent twenty million dollars hell or 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: high water to get to the national championship. New new 31 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator Chick Kelly, new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. You 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: get you get the picture. We see the beauty of sports, 33 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: and the sports world is simple. You can script everything 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: but the ending. And just when you think you've seen 35 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: it all, you see something new? Or did we you see? 36 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: Back in nineteen sixty nine, a young Boa scham Beckler 37 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: a first year coach at Michigan. He would face off 38 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: against the number one ranked Ohio State Buckeyes for the 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: first time. Now, every once in a while a college 40 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: football game comes along, nobody will ever forget. And these contests, well, 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: they often have a very long lasting impact on the 42 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: sport itself, as well as the players and coaches who 43 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: are part of it. The nineteen sixty nine edition of 44 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: the legendary Michigan Ohio State Battle the Rivalry is one 45 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: of those unforgettable battles because that game lit the fire 46 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: for what was ultimately characterized as the ten Year War, 47 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: which was a nickname for the series between Bo Sham 48 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: Becker and Woody Hayes. Now, if everything had gone according 49 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: to plan that day, Woody Hayes and his number one 50 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: ranked Buckeyes would have been back to back national champions winners, 51 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: are three straight games over the Wolverines and the top 52 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: candidate to be named the team of the century. In fact, 53 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: no one had even scored more than twenty points against 54 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: Ohio State during the nineteen sixty nine campaign. Nobody even 55 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: put a scare into the buck guys, who had won 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: every single game by at least twenty seven points. In fact, 57 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: Ohio State never even trailed for a single second the 58 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: entire season. To everyone outside of Ann Arbor, the Scarlet 59 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: and Gray, well, they were invincible. Even Bo sham Beckler 60 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: said quote, this was a game that what he admittedly 61 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: said was the best team he ever had. It was 62 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: an ESPN Classic documentary years ago, and quote all the 63 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: knowledgeable sports raders around the country called it the greatest 64 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: team of all time, the sixty nine buck guys. He 65 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: was generally thought. The only team that could pete with 66 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: him were the Minnesota Vikings, who actually went to the 67 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: Super Bowl that year ha ha, Ton and cheek Well. Michigan, 68 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: on the other side out of the ball, did not 69 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: exactly have the makings of an NFL team. In fact, 70 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: only two Wolverines on the entire roster were all Americans, 71 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: while the Buckeyes had six and many they sent to 72 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: the NFL. But what the Michigan Wolverines did have, however, 73 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: was a coach who knew how to get the most 74 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: out of his team. He was a masterclass in motivation 75 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: and unflappable confidence. In front of one hundred and four thousand, 76 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 2: five hundred eighty eight fans in Michigan Stadium, a stadium 77 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: record at the time, somehow Michigan pulled out a rabbit 78 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 2: out of their hat. They beat Ohio State twenty four 79 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: to twelve over the heavily favored buck Eyes the first 80 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: time in twenty two games anyone had managed to beat 81 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: Ohio State some familiar. Fast forward to Saturday afternoon an Arbor, Michigan, 82 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 2: twelve fifteen Eastern Time. On Saturday, first year coach Sharon 83 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: Moore channeled beaucham Beckler. You see, the defending national champions 84 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: entered the g The game is twenty point underdogs, and 85 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: they have now beatn Ohio State in four straight games. 86 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: All four of those have come with Ryan Day as 87 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: the Buckeyes head coach, after Ohio State had won seven 88 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: straight games over Michigan during Urban Myers tenure. Days only 89 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: victory came against Michigan back in twenty nineteen. Now it's 90 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: the first four game winning streak for Michigan since Ohio 91 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: State won in nineteen ninety two doing the street for 92 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: Michigan that had dated back to nineteen eighty eight. Now, 93 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: Jack Sawyer and many of the other Ohio State players 94 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: have been very outspoken about their desire to beat Michigan 95 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: before closing out their careers. Instead, the Buckeyes simply couldn't 96 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: do a thing on offense. Not only did Ohio State 97 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: fail to get a first down on his final drive, 98 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: the buck Eyes failed to get a first down the 99 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: entire fourth quarter. Ohio State's last first down came with 100 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: six minutes to go in the third quarter, when Will 101 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: Howard hit Amocha or excuse me a meek I Buca 102 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: for a six yard gain on third down. That followed 103 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: up the Ohio State kicker Jason Fielding missed two field 104 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: goal attempts inside of forty yards. It was an ugly 105 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: offensive display actually for both teams. Each quarterback through two interceptions. 106 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: Three of those four picks came in the red zone. 107 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: The most egregious one was thrown by actually Michigan's quarterback 108 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: Davis Warren when Sawyer picked him off on the goal 109 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: line and what was a very well crafted play put 110 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: another air under that ball, drop it in. Michigan wide 111 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: receiver was wide open, but I digress. The two offenses 112 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: ended up combining for about four hundred and eighty total 113 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 2: yards twenty nine first downs. Michigan threw for just sixty 114 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: two yards on sixteen attempts, but they did run the 115 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: ball for one hundred and seventy two yards. Will Howard 116 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: the stats would show he was nineteen to thirty three 117 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 2: for a bucks seventy five, but Ohio State could not 118 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: run the ball seventy seven yards and twenty six attempts, 119 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: and you know, the one thing Michigan does have are 120 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: two first round players on their defensive line. Why Ryan 121 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: Day kept running into that brick wall over and over 122 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: is beyond me. What happened to all those all American 123 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: wide receivers against Michigan's defensive backfield who seemingly holds on 124 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: every play. But I digress. There was a mistake that 125 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: potentially cost Ohio State time and I'm wondering if this 126 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: is gonna come back to haunt Ryan Day. We'll see 127 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: what happens, how they get through the playoffs, but the 128 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: shows tonight, so let's deal with it right now. Ohio 129 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: State could have had more than forty five seconds remaining 130 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: after Michigan's field goal if it wasn't for a what 131 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: I consider to be a tremendous personal blunder. The Buckeyes 132 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: called their first time out with a buck fifty five 133 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: to go. Michigan was facing a third down after the timeout. Well, 134 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: Ohio State didn't have the right defensive personnel on the field, 135 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: and Ryan Day tried to call a second timeout, But 136 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: you know, college football rules not prevent coaches from taking 137 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: consecutive timeouts. The ensuing illegal substitution penalty gave Michigan a 138 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: first down, and it allowed the Wolverines to run over 139 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: a minute more off the clock than they would have 140 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: been able to if Ohio State could have stopped Michigan 141 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 2: on third down. As far as Ohio State's playoff hopes, 142 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: it's not much of an overstatement to say that Ohio 143 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: State's remade offense with Chip Kelly filed miserably on Saturday. YEP, 144 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: the Buckeyes played the game with an offensive line that 145 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: was missing two starters, but Will Howard and quinch On 146 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: Jenkins well, they were brought in to beat Michigan this 147 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: year to also go on to win a national championship. 148 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: Judkins rushed twelve times for forty six yards. Now, on 149 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: paper for Ohio State, a national title is still in play. However, 150 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: it's possible the Buckeyes might have to go on the 151 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: road now to start the postseason. Given the losses among 152 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 2: the SEC's front runners and Clemson's lost to South Carolina. 153 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 2: The Buckeyes they should still safely be in the twelve 154 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: team tournament at ten and two, but there's gonna be 155 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: no Big Ten title and Ohio State. You know, they 156 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: needed Penn State to lose to Maryland. That wasn't gonna happen. 157 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 2: And they needed Indiana to lose to burdu to make 158 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: the bid tench title game against Oregon for a rematch. Obviously, 159 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: that did not happen. As I said, you can script 160 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: everything but the ending. And I gotta believe when the folks, 161 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: good folks and Columbus wake up on Sunday morning, they're 162 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: gonna be saying to themselves, did that really happen? Coming up, 163 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: we've got the Phasik five and we're gonna talk some 164 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: college football tonight with fik As.

Tonight, we're 189 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 2: going to chop it up a little college football. I 190 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: understand you fired on some of the openers with respect 191 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: to the upcoming conference championship games that start next weekend. 192 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 2: Why don't you take us down that road? 193 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: I think I bet every game, and again I went 194 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 3: ahead and consulted with my college football experts. 195 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 4: Here is what I bet. 196 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: Bernie. 197 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 3: I bet Army plus four and a half hosting Tulane. 198 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 3: I bet Jacksonville State and the Conference USA Championship minus two. 199 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: I bet unlv in Boise plus the sixth. I bet yeah, 200 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 3: Georgia Texas. I bet Texas two and a half. I 201 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 3: was surprised by this. It's in the Georgia Dome. My 202 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 3: guy's say, yes, should be, it should be more like five. 203 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 3: So laid two and a half with Texas. 204 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: Hold that thought. Hold that thought because Georgia that's a 205 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: de facto home game for them. They played many kickoff 206 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 2: classics there against national powers, and I got to tell you, 207 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: I'm dubious about that line. But continue on. We can 208 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: circle back to that. 209 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 3: Well, my guys were I had this conversation with them 210 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: and they started screaming at me. They're like, Texas is 211 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: seven points better than Georgia, and we gave Georgia three 212 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 3: for home field and even, and they said it's not 213 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 3: their home stadium, so they're only going to give them 214 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: Georgia three and they're way even with that, and there'll 215 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: be plenty of Texas fans that will make the trip. 216 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 3: So Texas is much much, much. 217 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 4: Better than Georgia right now. 218 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: Berne. So I was shocked to hear that. But these 219 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: guys are. 220 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: Very I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree with 221 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: that in the least. But but you give me Georgia 222 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 2: and that doming points. I'm fired on it, and you know, 223 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: but continue on. I don't want to delabor it. We'll see. 224 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 4: I checked my database. 225 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 3: I don't have anything on a team coming off an 226 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 3: eight overtime game. 227 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 4: But it can't be good. Cannot be good, right, Well. 228 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: We don't know. It's highly speculative, it's theoretical, right. I mean, 229 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 2: the thing we know about Georgia they've only played one 230 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 2: or two four quarter games this year. They play with 231 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: their food and they can't they can't fall behind Texas 232 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: like they do with some of these other schools. 233 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: So yeah, they are all what they what they used 234 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: to be. We played SMU plus two and a half 235 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 3: against Clemson. That game is in Bank of America Stadium 236 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: in Charlotte. But my guys say Smooth is not just better, 237 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 3: they are much better than Clemson this year. 238 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 5: Either one shocked me. 239 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: Also so in in in the Indianapolis Indianapolis, we played 240 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 3: Penn State plus three and a half. My guys say 241 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,239 Speaker 3: Penn State they think should be favored Bernie in the Gale. 242 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: Oh my god, based on what With all due respect. 243 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: These guys are like analytics darlings. Believe me, their numbers. 244 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 2: Are James Franklin beats everybody that he's supposed to beat, 245 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: except the teams he's supposed to beat. If you get 246 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: my drift, I agree with you one. 247 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: But they I'll say this, whatever model they use, they 248 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 3: it's what the biggest betters in the world use. So 249 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: there plus three and a half, we bet on Penn State, 250 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 3: we'll we'll has disappeared, and I will predict never comes back. 251 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: Yeah no, I well, boy, Oregon is got I'll tell 252 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 2: you it rather than debate that. We get so much 253 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 2: to get you fair enough. I appreciate you updating all 254 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: of that. So you sprayed the board. You sprayed the 255 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: board on the only. 256 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: Because they're only because their numbers completely disagreed with the openers. 257 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: And this makes sense now. I would never spray the 258 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 3: board like right before the game started, because then then 259 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: the market has massaged all the numbers and they're basically correct. Well, 260 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: these are just virgin numbers that it's us against one 261 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: book maker. It's a lot easier to win when you 262 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: only have to beat one guy. And not the entire world. 263 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: Well, and the reality it is, I know no one's 264 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: better than you would get into closing line value, let's 265 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: face it. And so whatever you fired on now not 266 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: a dot in my mind, you're getting likely you're getting 267 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: the best of the line, right. 268 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 3: But what's interesting is you and I had the same reaction. 269 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: I was like, really, we're bet in Texas, We're late. 270 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: Here's the deal here. College is much different than the NFL. 271 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: I don't care what you say. On one side of 272 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: the ball. You got better athletes, even if it's by 273 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: a centimeter margin. You're always going to have that. And 274 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: the coaching factor, the surrocut Father factor is big to me, 275 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: and I think in college football there are technical factors 276 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: and there are fundamental factors. That's why you never tease 277 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: college football games. You have the crazy to tease college 278 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: football games. So when I look heavily, heavily, heavily, very 279 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: heavily at what I consider to be key matchups, and 280 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: I won't bore you with all that that go beyond numbers. 281 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: And so for me, the number is certainly they're a guideline, FEZ, 282 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: but they're not an inflexible anchor. By rights, I mean 283 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: I took Michigan on the twenty one points today. Okay, 284 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: why when have you seen a national champion getting twenty 285 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: one points in a game the year after they win 286 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: the national championship even though they were depleted, lost seventeen starters. 287 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: By the way, Ryan days six and twelve at home 288 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: in November as a whole favorite. Well they're always a 289 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: home favorite. November six and twelve, now six and thirteen. 290 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: Now you can you can look at the metrics yards 291 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: for playing this more fun Michigan offense there without Will 292 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: Johnson there and look what happened. So I think we're 293 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: going to be in for some surprises. But of all 294 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: those games, the game that would shock me most is 295 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: if Penn State hangs that number. I I just can't 296 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: fade Oregon. But but this is what we have these 297 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: conversations about. You got the last word on this. 298 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 3: As long as you can beat the closing number, you 299 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 3: don't even have to be right in the game because 300 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 3: you can always you know, play for a middle. So 301 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: I'm and I have had a long history with these guys, 302 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 3: and they it is very rare they miss and don't 303 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: beat the closing number. 304 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, we'll grade these plays next week, 305 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: write them down. We're not going to do all of them, 306 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: We'll just do. You know, you may be very well 307 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: right on Texas, but I see how Georgia performs in 308 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: that domean right on one. Let's move on, because one 309 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: of the things I want to do tonight, Fez, is 310 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 2: I want to look back. I want us to have 311 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: a quick autopsy on the Lions Bears game. And here's why. 312 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: Upcoming the Lions have Green Bay Buffalo, at Chicago again, 313 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: at the Niners again, and then the Vikings. Here's the concern. 314 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: You know, I covered that team forever and I'm still 315 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: plugged in there. The injuries they are having are now 316 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 2: going to be very debilitating. When you lose Malcolm Nriguez. 317 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 2: He's the type of guy that could spy a guy 318 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: like Jalen Hurts that could rear its head in the playoffs. 319 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 2: But if you watch the game Thursday, Fees, and I 320 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: know you did, in the first half, the Lions kept 321 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: stalling and settling for field goals. They led sixteen to nothing, 322 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 2: but it felt weird. The Bears come out all of 323 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 2: a sudden start to move the ball. It wasn't because 324 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams figured out how to play quarterback. It's because 325 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: the pass rush wasn't getting home. He had plenty of time. 326 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 2: Because the Lions defense now is simply not what it 327 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: was five weeks ago. Your thoughts on the Lions and 328 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: could they be a possible fade now these next five games, 329 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: because you know the markets, you're going to pay alliance 330 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 2: tax to bet that team. 331 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 3: You know, it's very interesting because it's Thanksgiving Day and 332 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 3: the Bears are a dead team, and you didn't have 333 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 3: to pay alliance tax and you had to pay a 334 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 3: Bears tax. All the money came in on the Bears. 335 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: And that even that says, you know, darn well, you 336 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: don't lay double digits in a divisional game. Go ahead, 337 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: I'm sorry you got to flew me. 338 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 4: It wasn't double digits. 339 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 5: It was nice and half a post. 340 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: But there are people, but says, there are people, I believe, 341 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 2: including you, that said lay the ten and go to sleep. 342 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, it didn't matter. 343 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: None of them covered. 344 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 4: I was one of them. 345 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: And yet there was a multitude of sharp stones making 346 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 3: fun of them that were on the Bears plus ten 347 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 3: and you know it, and Detroit killed them in the 348 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: first half. And I think your autopsy is correct. There 349 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 3: was nothing wrong with the offense for Detroit. They fumbled 350 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 3: going in at the end of the first half, they 351 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 3: didn't install but then in the second half that defense 352 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: got crushed. There was no pass rush, and we have 353 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: to be very concerned. I don't think they I don't 354 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 3: think they're gonna be able to stop anybody. That's good 355 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 3: if they repeat that. And let's face it, that was 356 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 3: the worst meltdown that I've ever seen as far as 357 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 3: an endgame. A typical team would get four plays with 358 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 3: that much time. 359 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 2: The Birds they get one. 360 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: You know what, I here's the blame. It's ninety percent 361 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: on the coach and it's ninety percent on the quarterback, 362 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 3: both of them. It's like for there to be a 363 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 3: car crash. It's almost like both parties had to be 364 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 3: completely incompetent. If either one of them had been had 365 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: one eye open, that this would not have happened. 366 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 2: No, I agree, And just again for the record, the 367 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: Lions did settle for three field goals in the first half, 368 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 2: So you're right, You're right about the funnel, but you know, 369 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: they perpetually got into the red zone. Had to settle 370 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 2: for three field goals one touchdown. Let's look ahead ever 371 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: so quickly. Currently, I believe that the Lion Thursday night, 372 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: the Lions are laying five against the green Bay team 373 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: who's actually built for this spot. Fez, your thoughts, Yeah, so. 374 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 3: I had I had Detroit. I had them eight points 375 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: better than the average team. Now I'm going to lower 376 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 3: them to seven. I've got like green Bay like three 377 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: and a half better, which makes the game three and 378 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: a half on the neutral. Give Detroit again one and 379 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 3: a half for homefield, I make it five. So it 380 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: sure feels like if I had to bet it, I 381 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 3: would bet green Bay. Would you agree with that? 382 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: Yes, I would, Fez. And it's a weird, funky line. 383 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 2: You know you're in that deadline area five. I absolutely 384 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 2: think green Bay is live to win this thing out right. 385 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 2: That's an offense built to move the ball on this turf. 386 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 2: Green Bay is going to get their points. And I 387 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: like the DNA at this green Bay team, Fez. They 388 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 2: got seven first round draft choices that are all in 389 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 2: their mid twenties, and they're all really starting to run 390 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 2: into shape, and they're a confident bunch. They're the same 391 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: team that you know Hamber Detroit last year on Thanksgiving, 392 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: the if you recall says any final thoughts on that. 393 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: We'll get to the slate here. 394 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 3: But yeah, that was a big Survivor game, and that 395 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 3: so many people went down on the Survivor and of 396 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 3: course Greg Jones famously mistakenly took Green Bay and Survivor 397 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 3: instead of Detroit and rolled it all the way into 398 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 3: a championship. 399 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: Wonderful. Congratulations. I You'll never catch me in a Survivor contest. 400 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: You've got to be an adrenaline junkie to do that. 401 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: I'd rather just bet the games every week? Can you imagine? No, Fez. 402 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: I was told that if both the Bears and the 403 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: Raiders had prevailed, there'd be like ten people left in 404 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 2: the Circus Survivor contest. Is that true? 405 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 6: Yes? 406 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: And what's face that we have not had a sole survivor. 407 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 3: I don't believe. And how cool would that be? One 408 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 3: person walking away with fourteen million, essentially winning more than 409 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: the World Series of Poker champion wins. When the Bayan 410 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 3: for the World Series of Pokers ten thousand, here the 411 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: Bayan's only one thousand. But here's the catch. Winner takes 412 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 3: all Burnie, Nor, there's a big chop. 413 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 4: I don't know there's gonna be big top. 414 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: All it's gonna take is one big favorite to go 415 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 3: down for there'd only be a few winners, if not 416 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 3: just one winner. 417 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, excellent point, all right. I want to dive 418 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 2: ahead to this slate, tough slate this week. There's only 419 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 2: a couple of games I really like. Let's start with 420 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 2: our nation's capital. The Commando's laying six against the plucky 421 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans. They've burned me a bunch of times, but frankly, 422 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: that defense is pretty good, and I think Jayden Daniels 423 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: is getting a typical rookie regression. Your thoughts on the game, 424 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: spot on. 425 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: But I cannot bet the Titans because they have terrible 426 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 3: special teams and they have a quarterback that throws a 427 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: touchdown passes to the wrong team, and I just don't 428 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 3: know if that's gonna happen again, because all it takes 429 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: is one of those fluky players and now Washington gets 430 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 3: an extra seven points, and you know what, it seems 431 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 3: like the Titans do it every single game, Bernie, But 432 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 3: they Titans did play great last. 433 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: Week, Fez. I'm in agreement. I'm not involved in that game, 434 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 2: but one game I'm leaning, but I'm a little nervous 435 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 2: the Falcons catching a point at home against the Chargers. 436 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: I'm looking at as a teaser partner there. But the 437 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 2: one thing that concerns me greatly about Atlanta is they 438 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 2: don't get much pressure on the quarterback. And when Jake, 439 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: when Justin Herbert has time to operate, he's pretty damn good. 440 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 2: But there's no JK. Dobbins. So this game's a little 441 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: confusing to me. Can you sort it out? 442 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 443 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 3: No Dobbins, more throwing, Atlanta has no pass rush. 444 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 4: Both team's going to move the ball. 445 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: Let's go over Chargers after seventh straight under, three straight overs. 446 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: I think Herbert looks great and he looks healthy over 447 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 3: the forty seven and a half. 448 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 2: All right, I think everybody thinks I'm crazy, but I 449 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: played a half unit on Cincinnati minus three against Pittsburgh. 450 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 2: I don't. I won't bore you with all my long 451 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: winded analysis. Am I on the right side of that 452 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: game or not? 453 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 3: I would argue you're on the wrong line because it's 454 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: a two point seventy five game. So this is a 455 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: game where if you play Sincy I think you really 456 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: have to get minus two and a half. If you 457 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 3: get Pittsburgh, you really have to get plus three. I'll 458 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: predict the Bengals win by exactly three. By the way, 459 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 3: at that point right here, locally mis two a half 460 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 3: lay a dollar ten right now on the Bengals. 461 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 2: Well that's pretty nice, listen. Okay, so that's shame on me. 462 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 2: But the worst thing going to happen if lands on 463 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: three app push, but it only lands on three about 464 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: fourteen percent of the time, So it's not going to 465 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: go ten. 466 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 3: Ten percent because it's got to be the favorite landing 467 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: by three, because if Pittsburgh wins by three, then it 468 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 3: doesn't matter. 469 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: Oh that's an excellent point. Okay, all right, Houston visits Jacksonville, 470 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: and uh, of course, this is again one of those 471 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: games where you've got a situation that you know the 472 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 2: home team is getting points again and this feels like 473 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 2: a sneaky play where the books are going to make 474 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: a lot of money and Jacksonville might win this game. Outright. 475 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Well, that's what the market is saying. You 476 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 3: could add Jacksonville plus five all week long, and now 477 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 3: you can get Jacksonville plus three and a half and 478 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: my experiences, everybody doesn't win at this It's not that 479 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 3: easy where there's just a clear cut right side. It's 480 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: like a scavenger hunt. You got to get to the 481 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 3: good number first. So bold prediction, Houston's gonna win the 482 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 3: game by four, Bernie. 483 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 2: So here's my other teaser partner. I got Atlanta plus 484 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 2: eight now and I'm gonna tease it. I'm going to 485 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 2: tease New England up. They're catching two and a half. 486 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: Here's why Indianapolis comes to town. I'm not so sure. 487 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: The wrong team's getting points, and I'll tell you why, Fez. 488 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: The Colts have been out gained in eleven other twelve 489 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: games this season. They're also zero and six in the 490 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 2: stats category in their last six contests. They're what you 491 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: call a team who is leaking oil and they're laying 492 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: points down the road. You're going to get an excellent 493 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 2: effort out of New England. You've got a dome team, 494 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: hothouse team going outside in the cold, and Drake May's improving. 495 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 2: I really like New England. Actually, I think they win outright. 496 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: Your thoughts. 497 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 3: The irony is you've got a team that plays in 498 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: Lucas Oil stadium leaking the oil. Yeah, I'm already doing 499 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 3: two quarterbacks going in opposite directions. You've got the quarterback 500 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 3: for the Colts, Richardson. Flaclo has been bad, but he's 501 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 3: been better than Richardson and obviously may playing much better. 502 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 3: I did bet the Patriots plus when it was plus three. 503 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 3: You do need a teaser partner. I would be remiss 504 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 3: not to say if you're gonna tease, can't tease in 505 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 3: Vegas anymore. Bernie minus the six point minus one twenty 506 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 3: NFL teaser is done, though in Vegas. You could still 507 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 3: do it in far away places, at places like DraftKings 508 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 3: and at bookmaker, but you won't win if you're teasing 509 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: laying more than minus one twenty, and that's no longer 510 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 3: available in the sports betting capital of the world, former 511 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: sports betting gap of the world, Las Vegas. 512 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: Let's go to Minnesota. This is a very confusing game 513 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 2: to me, Vikings laying three and a half. I Arizona's 514 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 2: very plucky, and rarely does Carlne Murray play two bad 515 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: games in a row. I feel like this is a 516 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: coin flip game. 517 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I bet Arizona plus the three and 518 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 3: a half. Very high on Arizona. You know the game 519 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 3: I really like, Actually though, is next week. My best 520 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 3: bet would be next week Arizona hosts Seattle and they're 521 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: minus one twenty five. 522 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 4: So think about this. 523 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 3: Arizona was like minus one twenty last week at Seattle. 524 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 3: It's hard to play in Seattle, the very tough venue, 525 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 3: close game, ten points turn around on a pick six. 526 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 3: So if Arizona was favored in Seattle, they should be 527 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: a big favorite at home against Seattle. So next week 528 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: is where I really am going to invest in Arizona. 529 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned Seattle. We've got the Gino Smith 530 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: Bull Seattle travels of the Jets. Everybody's long forgotten that 531 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 2: Gino Smith was a coveted Jet at one point. It 532 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: feels like a lot of Jets money is coming in 533 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: the game is now up to pick them. I want 534 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,479 Speaker 2: nothing to do with this game, but if somebody had 535 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: a gun to my head, I could actually only look 536 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: to Seattle your thoughts. 537 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: Whoever winds up favored by one and a half, I 538 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 3: would certainly tease the other guys up to seven and 539 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: a half because I have no idea. Bernie, it looks 540 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: a little bit when all that money came on the 541 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 3: Jets against Houston, and then the Jets have their one 542 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 3: good game of the year. But the Jets are a 543 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 3: dead team. My goodness, I don't want to invest in them. 544 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 5: I'm gonna pass. 545 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to a couple of the marquee games. 546 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: For whatever reason, the Niners and I know it was seven. 547 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: I think it's down to six now at Buffalo, watch 548 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 2: out for the weather. I actually fired on the under 549 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 2: very early in the week. Rock Party may play, so 550 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 2: fez San Francisco is really this trendy pick. I know 551 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: a lot of people grabbed him at seven. But let 552 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: me tell you what I can't unsea. They're twenty eight 553 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: point gashing against Green Bay last week. The Niners committed 554 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 2: nine penalties, including one that wiped out Deebo Samuel's eighty 555 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: yard return at the start of the second half. Turnovers galore, 556 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: blown as Simon's galore. The Niners are not buttoned up 557 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: at all. Even the six points don't look attracted to me. 558 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 2: It's a stay away game. But can you make your 559 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: case for San Francisco. It seems like a very trendy play. 560 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: So I made the game affalo five if party plays 561 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 3: and nine if he doesn't. But that's with a healthy party, 562 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 3: and Party isn't going to be healthy, so five is 563 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 3: a pipe dream. It probably should be at least six. 564 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 3: Clearly the market saying Party is going to play, but 565 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: he's not. One hundred percent. There's better games to invest in. 566 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: I passed, Yeah, fair enough. I mean, look, the other 567 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 2: thing you can usea is the Niners are actually led 568 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: by ten points last week at one point, and they 569 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: ended up losing by twenty eight. So that's not good. 570 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: All right. Two more to get to here, actually three 571 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: quick ones New Orleans and the Rams. It feels like 572 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 2: the look I used to used to be an auto 573 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: play for me. Whenever an under five hundred team in 574 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 2: the NFL was laying points on the road, I'd fade him. 575 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 2: And that's exactly what's happening here. Is the Rams are 576 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: laying a short number two and a half against the 577 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: you know, the newly coveted New Orleans Saints and the 578 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: Darren Rizzy era. I think New Orleans live here. I 579 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 2: just do. 580 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 3: I agree. I bet New Orleans plus three. I can't 581 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 3: bet them plus two and a half. But the line's 582 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: like two point sixty three. What the heck am I 583 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 3: talking about saying it's a decimal point like that. Well, 584 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: the minus two and a has for the Rams are juice. 585 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 3: They're like minus one fifteen, minus one twenty. I think 586 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 3: if you play it cool, you wait around, you might 587 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,239 Speaker 3: see that plus three lay a dollar ten tomorrow on 588 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: the Saints, and then certainly at that price I would 589 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 3: invest in the Saints. 590 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 5: I agree with your analysis. 591 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: All right, I'm not on that game, but this game 592 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 2: I'm absolutely on. I grabbed Philadelphia plus the field goal. 593 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: I love the way they run the ball. I love 594 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: their physical latitude. They become a four quarter team. Looks 595 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 2: like even Nick Sirianni can't screw this up. Baltimore. Everybody's 596 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 2: always gaga about Baltimore and mister October. But just wait, 597 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: they'll do again what they always do. I will not 598 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: be shocked at Philadelphia Wednesday game. I'm right in Baltimore. 599 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, I agree. I bet Philly plus the three. 600 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 3: I think off the Hardball Bowl Chargers Ravens, and the 601 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 3: Ravens play Monday night, have to fly all the way 602 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 3: back to the East Coast at home, so terrible spot 603 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: for the Ravens. I did also play a prop bet 604 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 3: I bet can't run on the Ravens. So I bet 605 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 3: the Eagles hurts over two hundred and twenty nine and 606 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: a half passing yards. 607 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: Last one FEZ Monday Night the Broncos. The number I 608 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 2: see what Broncos are laying six against Cleveland? Is that correct? 609 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 5: It is? Yes? 610 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: Okay, so not sure what to do about that game, 611 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: but I really can't back Cleveland. The only people that 612 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 2: would back Cleveland are those who I believe have a 613 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 2: false sense of security with Jamison. Also just not buying 614 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: that the Brown that the Broncos are for real. But 615 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 2: I think vot Nicks is absolutely for reals. Last three games, 616 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 2: eight touchdown passes, no picks, at one to eighteen rating. 617 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: I think he's on his way. He should win Rookie 618 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 2: of the Year. He might not. And Jayden Daniels was 619 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: fading and Denver's on their way to the playoffs. They're 620 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: a very buttoned up team. And in a standalone game 621 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: on Monday Night, can you expect Cleveland to come back 622 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: and win two in a row like that with Jamis? 623 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 2: After Jamis will throw a pick and another pick and 624 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 2: Alson you'll kick fighting, and I don't know. I like Denver. 625 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 2: I like the Sean Payton defense. I think he'll confuse 626 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: jamis your thoughts. 627 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:14,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, I made it seven, but it's unfamiliar territory for 628 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 3: Denver to be laying those points. I agree completely with 629 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 3: your quarterback ANALYSI analysis, and I got to ask you 630 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 3: because this is not an easy answer. We're going to 631 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 3: redraft our top four quarterbacks who we take in number 632 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 3: one if we are the Las Vegas Raiders and we 633 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 3: can steal any one of the four rookie quarterbacks, Bernie. 634 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: It's kind of a long discussion. I'll just defer to you. 635 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: What's the answer you're looking for. 636 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 3: I don't have an answer. It's too close to call. 637 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 3: I'm thinking it could be Bo Nix. I really do. 638 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 3: I know. 639 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 4: I don't want Kayleb Williams. 640 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 3: You know why, because that meltdown at the end. I 641 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 3: am furious at him. That shows me a guy that 642 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 3: has not buttoned up in the head. Literally, if I 643 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 3: did that in an intramural great game when I was 644 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 3: in seventh grade, they would never let me quarterback again. 645 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 3: I don't care what the coach tells me. 646 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 2: Do something. Make your decision exactly, paralysis through analysis. He's 647 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: standing there defferent, he's not. Look, if you want to 648 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: play playground football, take Caleb Williams. If you want to 649 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 2: play playground football, take jayde Daniels. And I like j 650 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 2: D Daniels a lot, but when is he best? When 651 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: the play breaks down? And by the way Jade Daniels 652 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: operates quite nicely from the pocket, bow Knicks is actually 653 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: prosecuting a real NFL offense where he plays. 654 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 3: Daniels might be hurt his entire career also, so we 655 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 3: got to worry about. 656 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 2: That because of the way he plays the game. But 657 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: here's the here's the problem, and this is the part 658 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: of the question. I list closely to put any one 659 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 2: of those guys with the Raiders, and it's addressed bee 660 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 2: for disaster. I don't know what offense the Raiders run. 661 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: They can't run the ball. Yeah you know, so fast forward. 662 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: Let you go. Do you have a best bet for 663 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 2: the folks, Yeah, let's. 664 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 3: Go Carolina Panthers plus six. Obviously, when you take six 665 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 3: points at home, you're not going to get a good team. 666 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 3: But Carolina is much healthier than what they were a 667 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 3: month ago, and it looks like they have a bottom 668 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 3: ten quarterback instead of the worst quarterback in the league 669 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 3: right now, they should be able to hang in there 670 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 3: against the Tampa Bay team that's still missing Godwin. 671 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 2: Well, the Panthers did something last week that you never 672 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: really see against the Andy Reid team except maybe once 673 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,919 Speaker 2: every ten years. Third team in the Andy Reid era 674 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: in twelve years. The Panthers were to score on seventy 675 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 2: five percent of their drives that week. Bryce Young had 676 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 2: his best game. I believe in the kid. I do 677 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 2: not think he should be throwing in the trash deyp 678 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 2: give him time. He's got too much talent and too 679 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 2: much going on upstairs, and he's a quality human being. 680 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: So I like your I like that, Alt Fez. Don't 681 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 2: be surprised if Carolina doesn't win this game out right 682 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 2: beat the Tampa Bay Bucks. 683 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 3: I hope not, because I'm still sweating my under four 684 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 3: and a half an under five and f season win 685 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 3: number for Carolina, and that's getting dicey, Bernie. 686 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 2: That's great stuff. Enjoy Sunday, Bud. Thanks, thank you, Bernie, 687 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 2: good night. Bernie. F Show continues with some final thoughts 688 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 2: on Michigan's huge win. Keep it locked, You're listening to 689 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 690 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 7: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 691 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 2: Now we're back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio. 692 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: Come to your lie from the tarak dot Com studios 693 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. A couple quick PostScript thoughts about 694 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 2: the Michigan game. And by the way, there's a little 695 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 2: sing be humbled in victory, gracious in defeat. I think 696 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 2: people know better this weekend. It wasn't just Michigan inhabited 697 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 2: at North Carolina. Happened in Florida. This flag planning stuff, 698 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 2: but that's what you feel you got to do. I'm 699 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 2: not gonna get on any high horse here today, but 700 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 2: this weekend he's been a bit of a mockery of sportsmanship. 701 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 2: You know, all the flags, the lack of handshakes, screaming, pouting, crying, 702 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 2: just ba corum, bad stuff. For what it's worth. This 703 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: may be a topic of mind on the midnight hour 704 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 2: next Friday night, but again, I'm not getting out of 705 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 2: my high horse. There are people that I respect and say, hey, 706 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 2: you don't want us to plant the flag beat us. 707 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 2: That's fair. I get that, But if you really feel 708 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 2: you need to do that, to put an exclamation point. 709 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 2: I think I think it detracts from what you did 710 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 2: on the field. Just just my thought. But a couple 711 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 2: of other takeaways from Michigan's huge win. Michigan went into 712 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: Columbus and they had a team that lost five games 713 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 2: this year, five games. They were without two of their 714 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: best players, Colston Lovelin, their star tight end. They're probably 715 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 2: top five draft pick cornerback Will Johnson. It didn't matter, 716 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 2: Michigan decided they were. This was I'm telling you your 717 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 2: own more channel bullsham Beckler, block, tackle, wear the other 718 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 2: team down, defend, tackling space. A tremendous dominant defense by 719 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 2: Michigan and just enough offense to do it right. And 720 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 2: the Wolverines were a twenty point underdog against Ohio State. 721 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 2: They won their fourth straight now in the series. And 722 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: you know what, I don't know why people want to 723 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 2: give Lincoln Riley all this love. What exactly? Please? Someone 724 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 2: please tell me what Lincoln Riley's signature victory is. And 725 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 2: it's four years at USC. Can someone tell me what 726 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 2: the hell that is? Meanwhile, earlier in the year, Sharon Moore, 727 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 2: the head coach of Michigan, he not only he beat 728 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 2: Michigan State and he say, so what, Well, guess what. 729 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh didn't do that his first year. Even both 730 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 2: Sham Beckler didn't do that his first year. Charon Moore 731 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 2: did it, and Sharylmore beat Ohio State. It took Harball 732 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: six tries to beat Ohio State. And by the way, 733 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 2: Sharon Moore also led Michigan to the big win over 734 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 2: Ohio State last year as the acting head coach whin 735 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 2: Harball was suspended. But this by far is the biggest 736 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 2: win for the new permanent coach. I've applauded Charon Moore 737 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 2: all year. This has been this is in a Mulligan 738 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 2: year for Michigan. He's handled himself in such a dignified fashion. 739 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 2: He's the right man for this job. And we'll see 740 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 2: what Michigan could do next year. We'll see what they 741 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 2: do in the bowl game. But the Wolverines, Cherlon Moore 742 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 2: prosecuted what I consider to be a very a very heady, 743 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 2: intelligent Michigan game plan for the team. He had this, 744 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,720 Speaker 2: this he brought an approach. It actually defined the Harbaugh 745 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 2: era stifling defense a solid run game. Kalo Mullings one 746 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,919 Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen yards, one touchdown, excellent place kicking from 747 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 2: Dominic Zavada. Michigan completely repeatedly flustered Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, 748 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 2: who'd been playing very well in recent weeks, only allowed 749 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty two total yards. The Wolverines best 750 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 2: players rose up and you know, they dominated their one 751 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 2: on one matchups with all the Buckeye players. The Ohio 752 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 2: State was shut out in the second half after tying 753 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 2: the game right before halftime, up to what is a 754 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 2: signature moment for Sharon Moore and Michigan after what has 755 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,720 Speaker 2: been largely a more abundan, maybe even a forgettable season, 756 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 2: but what a high note. We'll see if they can 757 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 2: build on this like Bo scham Beckler did back in 758 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty nine when he beat the o'hap State Buckeyes 759 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 2: with another overmatch Michigan team, but he did it, so 760 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: this is one for the ages. When a game like 761 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 2: this comes along, it lives in people's hearts for the 762 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 2: rest of their lives. Coming up, we flipped the NBA 763 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 2: a little medeena magic on midnight. Keep it locked.

Well. 772 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: You hear him every week at this time, twelve midnight 773 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 2: Saturday evening Pacific time heading into Sunday, because there's always 774 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 2: a ton of news in the NBA, and this week 775 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: is no different. Three simple words, It's that time, Little 776 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 2: Medina Magic, Mark Madena joines our Fox Sports Radio TV guru, Mark, 777 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 2: How you doing, buddy? All right? We are efforting Mark 778 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 2: Medina And one of the things I want to talk 779 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 2: to him about is there's a growing grumble around the 780 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 2: NBA that the sport is suffering and that TV ratings 781 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 2: are tumbling because the math says the players should be 782 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 2: firing up threes at a high rate, often at the 783 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 2: expense of you know, dunks, more exciting basketball plays. And 784 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 2: what they're saying is they're calling this Mark I don't 785 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 2: know if you've heard my lead in there. There's a 786 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 2: new term being manned about the NBA among the media. 787 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 2: It's what are called desert games. I say that in quote, 788 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 2: desert games meaning there have been twenty four in instances 789 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 2: this year in which a team didn't score single point 790 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,760 Speaker 2: in the mid range area. Are you have you heard 791 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 2: that term? And I want to talk about it a bit. 792 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 5: I haven't heard that exact term, but it's not surprising 793 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 5: because the modern MBA probably i would say, for the 794 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 5: last eight years, had centered all three things threes, dunks, 795 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 5: and free throws. 796 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 2: And nailed it. 797 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 5: I think that, you know, when you look at the NBA, 798 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 5: there are very specific players that have used the mid 799 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 5: range as kind of a competitive advantage because everyone else hasn't. 800 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 5: You know, they're zigging, well zagging. But those are the exceptions. 801 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 5: Kevin Durant, DeMar DeRozan, Chris Paul. They're really great at 802 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 5: still doing that, but by and large they are the exceptions, 803 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 5: not the rule. 804 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 2: Well, do you agree that it was you know, stated 805 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 2: last week by someone named sportscaster they coote the NBA 806 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 2: is at its best when dudes are flying over people 807 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 2: meeting them at the rim. That's when it's the best 808 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 2: television product. You just got a bunch of finesca hanging 809 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 2: out of the three point line hoisting thirty footers. That's 810 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 2: not good. They're on pace for one hundred and thirty 811 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 2: six desert games this year. There's one every night, And 812 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 2: I understand the chord cutting aspect, but the cord cutting 813 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 2: aspect doesn't a figure affect other sports or events if 814 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 2: it's interesting. So your final thoughts on this and is 815 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 2: it being talked about in NBA circles. 816 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 5: Well, I think that the NBA they don't want to 817 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,720 Speaker 5: ever put like caps on how many threes a team 818 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 5: can take because that's getting really in the nitty gritty. 819 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 5: But you know, they talk with the Competition Committee every 820 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 5: year about what rules to implement to change things, and 821 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 5: so I think when you look at last year, the 822 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 5: one thing that they did change was that midway through 823 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 5: the All Star break or midway through the season, they 824 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,359 Speaker 5: told teams or they made a note in the referees 825 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,240 Speaker 5: to let the games be more physical, not let everything 826 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 5: get bogged down with the trips of the free throw line. 827 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 5: So I think it's more about continuing to improve that 828 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 5: pace so that there's a lot of ball movement. There's 829 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 5: teams running up and down the floor, and it is 830 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 5: entertaining whether teams want to take threes, mid range or dunks. 831 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 5: It's entirely up to them, as long as you know 832 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 5: everything's moving at a pretty good rate. 833 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 2: I agree with you. I don't know what the NBA 834 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 2: could do. Just last question on this. People are saying 835 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,959 Speaker 2: they need to change the rule. What what rules could 836 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 2: they possibly change to dictate what players do? I don't 837 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 2: know what you would possibly do. 838 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you're going to go down our supper 839 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 5: slippery slope. If the NBA dictates again the amount of 840 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 5: three a team can take, or if there's a minimum 841 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 5: of number of mid range, I mean that you may 842 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,280 Speaker 5: as well be not playing the game because it's literally 843 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 5: being controlled from people up above. So it's really about 844 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 5: saying the rules in place so that teams adapt accordingly. 845 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 5: And so, uh, you know, maybe there's I can't really 846 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 5: think of a solution right now other than just trying 847 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 5: to have teams be incentivized to move at a quick pace. 848 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 5: But in fairness, that's already what's been happening, and so 849 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 5: I think by and Marge, the NBA game is pretty good. 850 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 5: It's just when you see all these outliers of teams 851 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 5: just settle for threes even if there is an open shot. 852 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 2: The way Tom with Mark Medina Medina Magic. You hear 853 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 2: him every Saturday night here on the Bernie Fraddleshield midnight 854 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 2: Pacific time. Very much finger on the pulse in the NBA. 855 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 2: I guess Russell Westbrook finally emolded he was fine to 856 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 2: whopping thirty five thousands for making a scene gesture. And 857 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 2: when the nets, you know, the Nuggets lost to the 858 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 2: next a couple of days ago. Is there much beyond that? 859 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 2: To reporter? Is it just a Russell Westbrook takeup? 860 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's pretty standard operating procedure. The NBA doesn't 861 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 5: like players show voting, and especially when it involves obscenities, 862 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 5: whether it's in front of you know, an opposing team's 863 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 5: bench or fans. And so I would imagine this isn't 864 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 5: the first time, want to be the last time that 865 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 5: the NBA slaps a player with thirty five thousand dollars 866 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 5: five for doing. 867 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 2: That, right, which is what ten cents to normal people. 868 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,399 Speaker 5: So let's talk going to NBA cares too. 869 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 2: That's a good that's that part's a good part. That 870 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 2: part's a good part. So let's talk about the NBA 871 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 2: Cup because I thought about it. The Lakers, you know, 872 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 2: are the defending champions. Is anybody ever repeated in NBA 873 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 2: Cup NBA. 874 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 5: History, Well, we won't happen this year. They've been officially eliminated. 875 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,760 Speaker 5: So yeah, you know they're they're nursed that championship hangover. 876 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 5: You know what, it might be the Boston Celtics that 877 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 5: get in, they'll they'll resume that rivalry that they had 878 00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 5: with the actual NBA championships. But yeah, the teams have 879 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 5: been in contention right now as Orlando, New York, Milwaukee, Detroit, 880 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 5: and Boston and East and then out west it's Portland, 881 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 5: the Clippers, the Spurs, and the Suns, and then maybe Dallas, 882 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 5: Denver and Memphis. So there's a lot still hanging in 883 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 5: the balance for Tuesday's games in group play, and that's 884 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 5: what things will be sorted out as far as he 885 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 5: plays in the quarterfinals and beyond. 886 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 2: So I know that Atlanta, Houston, and Golden State of 887 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 2: clinched their groups, but it's my understanding. You have to 888 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 2: correct me. The Lakers are in trouble because they have 889 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 2: a negative twenty four point differential. 890 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 5: Well they're completely eliminated. 891 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: So that's efficient. Okay, it's efficient. Okay, very good talking 892 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 2: with Mark Medina Medina Magic. All right, So let's move 893 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 2: ahead here the All Star Game. The reason I keep 894 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 2: bringing it up is because I mean, we're already into 895 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 2: December and now Mark and snap your fingers, it'll be February, 896 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 2: and talking about all kinds of things and possibilities. And 897 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 2: has the NBA officially reached out to Kate mcclark is 898 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 2: Allegedly they were going to do that and try to 899 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 2: come up with something. 900 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,760 Speaker 5: I haven't heard. That does doesn't mean it hasn't happened, 901 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 5: but I would be very surprised, Berne, that we hear 902 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,399 Speaker 5: any news officially until after the NBA Cup is over. 903 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 5: The NBA has a way, you know, intentionally, where they 904 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 5: want to focus on the current tent pole event to 905 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 5: be the focus and not have anything else to distract that. 906 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 5: So yeah, my hunch is that the league office and 907 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 5: the players union they're all brainstorming different, you know, ideas, 908 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 5: and we'll see what it actually looks like. But I 909 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 5: don't think they'll announce anything until the NBA Cup tournament 910 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 5: is over. 911 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 2: I think that's that, Or when's the final game? I'm sorry, I. 912 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 5: Think it's December fifteenth. 913 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 2: You know, one of the things that was talked about, 914 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 2: and this actually makes a lot of sense to me, 915 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 2: in lieu of an NBA All Star Game play a 916 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 2: doubleheader at the semi final games in February. Why does 917 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 2: it need to be wrapped up in November or December? 918 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,240 Speaker 2: Play it played during All Star Game weekend. 919 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing, Bernie, I mean, All Star weekends 920 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 5: already loaded with so much stuff to begin with. I 921 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 5: think that that would, you know, compound more problems than 922 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 5: solve those. I think the reason why they had the 923 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 5: NBA Cup, you know, scheduled for shortly after opening week, 924 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 5: is that there is that gap between now and Christmas 925 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 5: where you know, most people and still are focusing on football, 926 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 5: whether it's the NFL, college football, or both. But if 927 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,799 Speaker 5: you're going to do this, you know, after Christmas, then 928 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you run the calendar issues with 929 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 5: it overlapping with All Star weekend, it ran into the 930 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 5: Super Bowl. It kind of interfering with teams trying to 931 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,400 Speaker 5: ramp up for the playoffs. So the sense that I 932 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 5: got when you know, talking to league people in Vegas, 933 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 5: let's say that was in twenty twenty three, before you know, 934 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 5: the the unveiling of last season It's an all growing 935 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 5: season tournament, was that they felt like this was the 936 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 5: best calendar because of all those other things. They didn't 937 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 5: want the other ten pole events to get in the 938 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 5: way of that. 939 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 2: I understand that, and my thought was, you're going to 940 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 2: get into mid December before the semifinals and finals are played, 941 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 2: which are leading to Christmas and Mark I honestly just 942 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 2: think the NBA is heading toward a collision course like 943 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 2: the NFL had with the Pro Bowl. The players don't 944 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 2: want to play in it. Nobody cares, so why play it. 945 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 2: You can fill it with something else and bring eyes 946 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 2: to the NBA, and it just you know, the the 947 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 2: NBA Cup has worked, So I thought, maybe you'd kill 948 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 2: two birds with one stone and actually played games where 949 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,759 Speaker 2: guys are willing to compete. They'd kind of against the 950 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 2: record and kind of against the NBA Cup. Finally, you 951 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,879 Speaker 2: honest one game out, but forty point. Also, Milwaukee's up 952 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 2: over five hundred. Are they writing the ship? 953 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,800 Speaker 5: They're running the ship? And Yanatazukumpo is the primary reason 954 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 5: why they're writing the ship because, as you mentioned, he's 955 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 5: put a lot of good numbers. He leads the league 956 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 5: right now and scoring, he's back in the MVP conversation. 957 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 5: But I think Giannis has sustain this kind of play 958 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 5: because this is what Jannis does. You know, scores a 959 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,240 Speaker 5: high clip, he's ranked fifth and rebounds twenty to assists. 960 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 5: But I don't know if it's sustainable from a team standpoint, 961 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 5: because you know, they they've had a favorable schedule. You know, 962 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,320 Speaker 5: they didn't really play a lot of tough teams beyond Houston. 963 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,919 Speaker 5: You know, Indiana has been under achieving this season. Chicago's 964 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,959 Speaker 5: an average team and they're not a great defensive team. 965 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 5: But I think the good thing is their star players 966 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 5: plan its best and they need it because they were 967 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 5: already you know, I think competing with Philadelphia for how 968 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 5: much worse a team can get after having a lot 969 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 5: of champion trip expectations helping the season no very true. 970 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 2: Mark, appreciate all your efforts, Appreciate you joining me Thanksgiving night, 971 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,400 Speaker 2: and I'm sure there'll be plenty of stuff between now 972 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 2: and next Saturday.

Joy your Sunday Mark. 974 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 5: I appreciate it. 975 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 2: Mark Medina Medina Magic.

College football Rivalry 1004 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 2: Week this weekend gave us plenty of upsets. Michigan over 1005 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 2: Ohio State, Syracuse over Miami, South Carolina over Clemson, and 1006 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 2: in the in state rivalry games they were heated too 1007 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 2: Florida Florida State, NC State North Carolina YadA YadA ya. 1008 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 2: But we also saw a particular new fangled trend, winning 1009 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 2: teams planting their flag on the opposing teams midfields, not 1010 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,839 Speaker 2: like this has never happened before, but Saturday it was 1011 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 2: an endemic. As a result, you can imagine, there were 1012 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 2: some skirmishes and brawls. It broke out now Michigan, Ohio 1013 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,799 Speaker 2: State gave us our first flag plant of the day. 1014 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 2: This one was so heated. Hell, they even got pepper 1015 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 2: spray involved. Would you like fresh ground pepper with that? 1016 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:55,959 Speaker 2: Celebration got started Saturday afternoon in Columbus, Michigan a three 1017 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 2: touchdown under low. They shot the Buckeyes thirteen to ten 1018 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 2: for a four stree year and that also knocked Ohio 1019 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 2: State out of the Big Ten title gaming. It's Oregon, 1020 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,879 Speaker 2: Penn State gets to go now. And after the game, 1021 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 2: a Michigan player he tried planning the Michigan block in 1022 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,439 Speaker 2: flag right at Ohio State's midfield. The Buckeye players, who 1023 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,960 Speaker 2: were at the opposite end zone came over and immediately 1024 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 2: confronted the Wolverine player. As you can imagine, after that, 1025 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 2: it was all fun and games. The scuffle was so 1026 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,879 Speaker 2: bad the Ohio State Police administered pepper spray to try 1027 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 2: to disperse the players. Yeah, I guess following the game 1028 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 2: there are officers from I guess there's gonna be an investigation. 1029 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 2: Whatever the hell you saw it on camera? What are 1030 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 2: we investigating? Right? I don't know what do you do? 1031 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 5: Right? 1032 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 2: But that wasn't the only flag plant you saw on Saturday, 1033 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:56,800 Speaker 2: North Carolina. Also check that North Carolina State also attempted 1034 00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 2: to plan a flag on North Carolina's midfield. So North 1035 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,320 Speaker 2: Carolina and NC State they meet on rivalry rec almost 1036 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,439 Speaker 2: every year. Although both teams entered this game just six 1037 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 2: and five and far from the ACC race, it was 1038 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 2: a significant game. It was North Carolina's their head coach MATC. Brown, 1039 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,240 Speaker 2: who had his best years at Texas. His final regular 1040 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,879 Speaker 2: season game. He'll be moving on after six seasons, and 1041 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,800 Speaker 2: these are prideful games. He's in state games. Make no mistake. 1042 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 2: You played these games for a reason, or there's no 1043 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 2: point to keep him score. Un C led twenty to 1044 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 2: thirteen in what had been kind of a while back 1045 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 2: and forth fourth quarter. In the game's final fifteen minutes, 1046 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 2: there were six lead changes, a blockfield goal, a failed 1047 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,719 Speaker 2: two point conversion, and ultimately NC State prevailed thirty five 1048 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 2: thirty to win their third straight in this series. And 1049 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:51,240 Speaker 2: after the victory, the wolf Pack players attempted to plant 1050 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 2: a wolf Pack flag at North Carolina's midfield, but a 1051 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,919 Speaker 2: Tar Hills player wasn't having it through the flag off 1052 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 2: to the sideline. Naturally, players got into it from there. 1053 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 2: You can see all the videos easily on Twitter. That 1054 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 2: one was a little bit more of an all out brawl. 1055 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,080 Speaker 2: The Ohio State Michigan was a lot of pushing and shoving, 1056 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,879 Speaker 2: but that one. After the game, the North Carolina State 1057 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,320 Speaker 2: head coach Dave dorn He spoke about what the ravelry 1058 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 2: means as well as winning three in or over North Carolina. 1059 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 2: He said, quote, there's a reason I haven't been able 1060 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 2: to wear blue for twelve years. So these guys take 1061 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,240 Speaker 2: this serious. Man. By the way, the win not for nothing. 1062 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 2: North Carolina State gets to go to a bowl game 1063 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 2: for a third straight season. So bragging rights. Beat your 1064 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 2: end state rival Mac Brown's final game and NC State 1065 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 2: will get to go bowling. But it didn't end there Florida. 1066 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 2: Florida State also ended with some flag planting. Now the 1067 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,759 Speaker 2: Gators who've really rallied under Billy Napier quite admirably. After 1068 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 2: starting out like a drunk crossing an icy street, the 1069 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,439 Speaker 2: Gators are now six and four. They entered the game 1070 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,760 Speaker 2: riding some huge momentum back to back wins over LSU 1071 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:06,760 Speaker 2: and old Miss Florida State. Meanwhile, they're having a historically 1072 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,879 Speaker 2: bad season, you know. Ever since getting snubbed from the 1073 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 2: playoff last year, they're two and ten, they're two and 1074 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 2: nine this year. Still, it's Florida State. There's a lot 1075 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 2: of pride in this in state rivalry game, so it 1076 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 2: was expected to be expected to be a decent matchup. 1077 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 2: Florida State just simply overmatched. Florida took care of business. 1078 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 2: The Knowles offense is struggling badly. They managed eleven points. 1079 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 2: They lost thirty one to eleven. Now, after the game 1080 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 2: once again and the game was played at Florida State, 1081 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 2: a Florida player planted a Gator flag at Florida State's 1082 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 2: midfield and the Seminoles logo. Well, naturally, the FSU players 1083 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 2: they were pissed off about this, and after the game, 1084 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 2: Florida State coach Mike Norvelle was seen seemingly trying to 1085 00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 2: make a comment about the gesture to Billy Napier after 1086 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 2: the game, and it appeared to be yelling at Billy Napier, 1087 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 2: who tried to make peace, and then Norvell is the 1088 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 2: one who grabbed the Florida flag and threw it away 1089 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 2: from the logo. So after the game, both coaches kind 1090 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 2: of addressed their respective thoughts on the incident, and as 1091 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 2: you can imagine, there's a lot of platitudes. Billy Napier 1092 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 2: did say, you know, it's not who we want to 1093 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,920 Speaker 2: be as a program. It's embarrassing to me, and it's 1094 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 2: a distraction to a really well played football game. We 1095 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 2: shouldn't have done that. We won't do that going forward. 1096 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 2: There will be consequences. Well for what Okay, interestingly enough, 1097 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 2: the Texas Texas Texas A and M game, which hadn't 1098 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 2: been played in fourteen years, and it's a shame they 1099 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 2: don't play it every year. It's stupid. But now that 1100 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 2: they're in the SEC, they should playing every year. But 1101 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 2: remember Texas A and M left for the SEC, I 1102 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 2: think in twenty eleven, twenty twelve, and they haven't played since. Well, 1103 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 2: the Longhorns in the winner of this game. You talk 1104 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 2: about a game for high stakes. The winner of this 1105 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 2: game was going to punch her ticket to the SEC 1106 00:58:55,840 --> 00:59:00,520 Speaker 2: championship game against Georgia. Well, Texas prevailed seven teen seven. 1107 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 2: They clinched the spot in the SEC title game. And 1108 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 2: somebody must have sent a memo to Sarkesian because it 1109 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 2: was later in the day he was actively hurting his 1110 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 2: players away from the midfield logo. All right. He was 1111 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,680 Speaker 2: even coolter as saying, no need for that. We can 1112 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,439 Speaker 2: celebrate in other areas. That's how you handle that. Take 1113 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 2: your victory, flip it forward and play for bigger things now. 1114 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 2: That actually drew praise from Kirk kurb Street and Chris 1115 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 2: Fowler for pulling his team away from the anam logo. 1116 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:32,439 Speaker 2: And although again it was the first time that since 1117 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,640 Speaker 2: twenty eleven that these two rivals and they are bitter rivals, 1118 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,160 Speaker 2: trust me on this. It was a civil ending of 1119 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 2: the game. And now Georgia will face Texas in the 1120 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 2: SEC Championship game. And I understand that later on in 1121 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 2: the day he made the statement, I had watched Michigan 1122 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 2: and Ohio State getting a bra from my hotel room. 1123 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 2: He goes, this, this isn't something we want to do, 1124 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 2: all right. I con I continue to marvel at what 1125 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,440 Speaker 2: Michigan did on Saturday, as I said, yeah, I grabbed 1126 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,000 Speaker 2: the twenty one points, and I know that Ryan Day 1127 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 2: was six and twelve against the number in November games 1128 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 2: at home, and now he's six and thirteen. And you know, 1129 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 2: based on the money line, if you bet one hundred dollars, 1130 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 2: you brought back nine to seventy eight. Michigan had eight 1131 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 2: percent chance a winning the game. But one gentleman who 1132 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 2: was steadfast in his belief that Michigan would win this game. 1133 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 2: You hear him every Saturday with Martin Weiss in the afternoons. 1134 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 2: Let's say hello to VJ Husky. VJ. You're still about 1135 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 2: six feet off the ground, man. 1136 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 4: Man, I'm about thirty thousand feet off the ground right now. Baby. 1137 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 4: Hell to the viscious Barney. 1138 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,760 Speaker 2: So let's kill it right now, baby. So let's take you. 1139 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,280 Speaker 2: Let's take people behind the curtain. And I texted you 1140 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:57,040 Speaker 2: heading into halftime when you could clearly see that Michigan 1141 01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 2: was winning the line of scrimmage. Hey, big felly, want 1142 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 2: to turn your radar down just a titch, you get 1143 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 2: an echo. 1144 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 4: I don't have a radio on. Let me take to 1145 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,959 Speaker 4: the airpiece out and just put you on. My apologies, Barney. 1146 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 2: No, no, no problem, man, It's just it's all good. 1147 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:12,920 Speaker 2: I want the folks to hear what you got to say. 1148 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:14,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, no problem, No, pub. 1149 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 2: I could clearly you could clearly see uh, I can 1150 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 2: hear you. You could clearly see that that Michigan was 1151 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,439 Speaker 2: winning the line of scrimmage. Okay, they just simply were. Uh. 1152 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,439 Speaker 2: And that's Michigan football. Block and tackle, run the ball, 1153 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 2: stop to run. So I texted you, I said, hey, 1154 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,280 Speaker 2: if Michigan wins today, come on tonight and you can 1155 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 2: take your victory lap. And you texted back at All 1156 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 2: Caps when Michigan wins, I'll come up, says keep it, 1157 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:43,479 Speaker 2: keep it real. 1158 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 5: Uh. 1159 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 2: I gotta ask you though, And by the way, one 1160 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 2: hundred dollars would bring back nine hundred and seventy eight dollars. 1161 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 2: Did you manage to get a bet down on this game? 1162 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 4: Yep, fifty on Michigan on the money line. Baby. 1163 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 2: Wow, that's a nice little payday. I uh, I put 1164 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 2: a couple of units on the on the spread. I 1165 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 2: will say this, VJ. I can't remember when a defending 1166 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 2: national champ was getting twenty one points the following year, 1167 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,640 Speaker 2: but be that as it may, I just grabbed the points. 1168 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 2: I never once believed that Michigan would win this game. 1169 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 2: I knew they'd fight and they'd hang around, but I 1170 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 2: they never believe they win. So one of the factors 1171 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 2: you considered in sticking to your prediction. 1172 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 4: Well, all year long, I always looked at Will Howard. 1173 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 4: I've always looked at that. And what was really interesting 1174 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 4: about that is if you remember, coming out of spring practice, 1175 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,440 Speaker 4: Ohio State did not name him the starter. That was 1176 01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 4: alarming to me because he was a transfer portal guy 1177 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,560 Speaker 4: that they got. You got a guy in the transfer 1178 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 4: portal coming out of spring practice, he's not named the starter. Okay, 1179 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 4: then there's some things that somebody sees there that they 1180 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 4: weren't comfortable naming him was starting now. I thought Will 1181 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 4: Howard had a good maybe great season, if you want 1182 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 4: to say that. But when you're coming from Kansas State, Okay, 1183 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 4: that is not a football factory. Unless your name is 1184 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,960 Speaker 4: Michael Bishop, you're on the cover of NTAA football, you're 1185 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 4: playing for Bill Snyder. I don't want to hear that 1186 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 4: this guy is gonna come and be the savior. And 1187 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 4: I've been saying all year long, he will throw the 1188 01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,840 Speaker 4: game away, He'll give the game up. He doesn't make 1189 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 4: good decisions. Let's go back to the Oregon game. There's 1190 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 4: a throw that he can make on that last play 1191 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,840 Speaker 4: to the outside. But he doesn't make the throw. He 1192 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 4: touched the ball and runs. Why the clock is winding down, 1193 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 4: You don't have time outs. You have to throw the 1194 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,440 Speaker 4: ball into the ground or throw it to the sideline 1195 01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,640 Speaker 4: so you have an opportunity to kick the field goal. 1196 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:35,600 Speaker 4: He runs, scrambles and slides. Game over. That was a mistake. 1197 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 4: I said, Okay, there's Will Howard for you guys right there. 1198 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,800 Speaker 4: You fast forward to today. This game is bigger than 1199 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 4: anybody really realizes. Sometimes. Last night, you and I and 1200 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 4: Arnie Spaniel roll last night and Arnie was dead fast on. Oh, 1201 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 4: I don't think this rivalry has what it has what 1202 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 4: it used to be thirty years ago. Are you kidding me? 1203 01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,000 Speaker 4: It's anything? And you said it perfectly in your response said, 1204 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 4: and if anything, this thing has been pushed up, boiled 1205 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 4: way more than it used to be because of everything 1206 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,800 Speaker 4: with Connor Stallion. In three games in a row in 1207 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 4: the sign feeling, Harvball get suspended, Harvall leaves for the 1208 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:18,640 Speaker 4: NFL Ryan Day. They spend allegedly twenty one million dollars 1209 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 4: of ANIL deals to stack this team. Get everybody to 1210 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 4: come back. You go get Juggins, you go get Caleb Downs, 1211 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 4: which is probably the best order of defender in the nation. 1212 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 4: You are supposed to win this football. 1213 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 2: And don't forget Chip Kelly and Jim Knowles too. They 1214 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 2: went all in for twenty million large, Yeah, twenty Jeff. 1215 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 4: Kelly leaves a head coaching position to take a backward 1216 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 4: step to be an offensive coordinator, and he was supposed 1217 01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 4: to fix all the offensive woes that anything happened with 1218 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,040 Speaker 4: Ohio State in the past. But when you come into 1219 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,000 Speaker 4: this rivalry and you're not really born from this robbery, 1220 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 4: then it's a different type of pressure. And I never 1221 01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,880 Speaker 4: saw Will Howard as a quarterback that can deal with that. 1222 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 4: Today nineteen or thirty three, four Am easily won seventy 1223 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 4: five a touchdown in two picks. Michigan ran for three 1224 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:16,000 Speaker 4: less yards more what less, three less yards than what 1225 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,320 Speaker 4: he passed for. Michigan ran for buck won seventy two. 1226 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 4: Last point I'll make about today's game, Bernie on is 1227 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,680 Speaker 4: old schoolless youth football. One on one run the ball, 1228 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 4: stop the run, rush the passer, protect the passer, don't 1229 01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 4: commit super penalties, don't turn the ball over. You're within 1230 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 4: fifty five percent of your game. Ohio State did not 1231 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 4: do that today. They ran for seventy seven yards. And 1232 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 4: we all know the great stat in this in this 1233 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 4: year that think it's over, like twenty something years, twenty 1234 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,440 Speaker 4: two years in a row, the Russian Battle is gonna 1235 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 4: win the football game. 1236 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 2: So that's a pretty damn good analysis. And with respect 1237 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 2: to your rationalization, Ohio State was shut out in the 1238 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,600 Speaker 2: second half. Allow of that has to be on your 1239 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 2: quarterback because when the player breaks down, you have to look. 1240 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 2: Ohio State's got NFL wide receivers and Michigan was without 1241 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 2: Will Johnson. I mean you could not have had a 1242 01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:12,320 Speaker 2: more oddball narrative heading into this game. Michigan starts a 1243 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 2: quarterback who's a walk on on, a cancer survivor. They 1244 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 2: lose seventeen starters, YadA, YadA, YadA. I think you see 1245 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 2: yan Well Johnson and that game. Do you feel like 1246 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 2: the moment was too big for him? 1247 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 4: Absolutely? Absolutely. You have to be born into this thing, man, 1248 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 4: That's what makes it so great. This is this is 1249 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:34,200 Speaker 4: Duke Carolina, this is Yankees Red Sox, this is Dallas Cowboys, 1250 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 4: this is Dallas Cowboys, and Well used to be watching 1251 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 4: the reskids but with the commanders, you if you have 1252 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 4: to be born into this robbery to understand that, you 1253 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,680 Speaker 4: just don't walk in it. As a transfer, I think 1254 01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,600 Speaker 4: you're gonna lead a team to victory in a season 1255 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,160 Speaker 4: that means so much, Bernie. I can't think about an 1256 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 4: Ohio State season that hung in the balance of all 1257 01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 4: or nothing more than this season in the last twenty 1258 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 4: five years of Ohio State football. When you talk about 1259 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 4: all the money they paid, the nil the coaches, the players, 1260 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,800 Speaker 4: and all of that. Fine, but you're talking about a 1261 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 4: six and five Michigan team. You talk about no Will Johnson. 1262 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,440 Speaker 4: Do we want to talk about no Lovelin today? That's 1263 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 4: the best tight end in football? Do we want to 1264 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 4: talk about no Donovan Edwards. After the middle of the 1265 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 4: first quarter, for the rest of the game today, Michigan 1266 01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 4: was down to one running back. One running back. Today 1267 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 4: Mullins ran thirty two cares for a buck sixteen. That's 1268 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 4: only three and some change of pop. But you just 1269 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 4: got to keep feeding the horse. And as the game 1270 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:38,000 Speaker 4: went on, you can feel the vice grip tightening. You 1271 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 4: can fill it through the television, how that thing was 1272 01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,439 Speaker 4: starting to get tight. Last point. Joe Klatt who I love. 1273 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 4: I love him and Gus Johnson calling games together. Joe 1274 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 4: Klatt was making it a point to say, why do 1275 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 4: you keep bunching up trying to prove your tofert in Michigan. 1276 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 4: You have the advantage on the outside exactly, Ryan Day 1277 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 4: have the advantage on the outside. You know who? You 1278 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 4: know what their leading receiver was today, Carlos six catches 1279 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 4: fifty eight yards. Bernie. He had four catches in the 1280 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 4: first quarter, which means he had two catches for the 1281 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:11,720 Speaker 4: rest of the game. 1282 01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:14,920 Speaker 2: So I got we got about a minute. But I 1283 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 2: want to get your your thoughts on this. You know, 1284 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,840 Speaker 2: Casey Stangel once said teams can't beat the Yankees because 1285 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,200 Speaker 2: he gets stuck staring at the pen stripes. I really listen. 1286 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 2: I was around the Michigan program fourteen years, cut my 1287 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,040 Speaker 2: teeth at WTK and n I recovered ten of those games. 1288 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 2: Michigan's DNA showed up today big time. You have to 1289 01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 2: be there to see what it looks like. Ryan Day 1290 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 2: does not have that. I got nothing against Ryan Day. 1291 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 2: Beats everybody not named Michigan. But they are going to 1292 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 2: get in the playoffs with the Ryan Day Will Howard combination. 1293 01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,640 Speaker 2: They're not gonna have to play at Michigan. How do 1294 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:54,879 Speaker 2: you think Ohio State fairs in the playoffs twelve. 1295 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,720 Speaker 4: And eleven, they're going they're going home early. They're gonna 1296 01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 4: have to go on the road. Possibly, they're not. 1297 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 2: Probably probably, yes, better, I. 1298 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,800 Speaker 4: Probably have to go on the road in the first round. 1299 01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,320 Speaker 4: I mean, they're done this, This is over. 1300 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 5: Man. 1301 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,479 Speaker 4: They're gonna lose in the first round. If they get 1302 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 4: to the second round, it's gonna end there. Just one 1303 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 4: quick last point. If you want to fire Ryan Day's fine, 1304 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 4: Ohio State. Ohio State fans, but be weary, be very weary. 1305 01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,599 Speaker 4: This could be a decade setback. Remember when Lloyd Carr 1306 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,600 Speaker 4: walked away from Michigan and we brought in Rich Rodriguez 1307 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,640 Speaker 4: and that let the Brady vote. That was a decade 1308 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 4: of average to bad football. If you fire Ryan Day, 1309 01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,599 Speaker 4: you damn well better nail the next coach because you're 1310 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 4: gonna fire him in four or five years if it's 1311 01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 4: not good, and then you're gonna bring in another coach. 1312 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,320 Speaker 4: And then it took Michigan eight years with Harvball to 1313 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,000 Speaker 4: get back to the National championship. That was almost twenty 1314 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,280 Speaker 4: years that Lloyd Carr walked away, be very wary about 1315 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 4: firing im. Ryan Day if you want to put your 1316 01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,559 Speaker 4: better nail the next tick, the next tick. I think 1317 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,200 Speaker 4: they go home in the first round of the playoffs. 1318 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 2: Burner, Yeah, good, good stuff. I talked to my moles today. 1319 01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 2: I'm ninety percent sure they're not going to fire him. 1320 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 2: But I got to say, if they're one and done 1321 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 2: in the playoffs, it's going to be a gloomy you know, 1322 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,160 Speaker 2: winter and spring for Ohio State, very gloomy with a 1323 01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 2: big cloud over their head. And guess what, they get 1324 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,719 Speaker 2: to go to ann Arbor next year. So like VJ. 1325 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 4: Joy, your son, go ahead Underwood as our quarterback, the 1326 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 4: number one recruit we flip from LSU. Have fun. 1327 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 2: You know what. We're going to have you on in 1328 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,040 Speaker 2: a few weeks to talk because I was there when 1329 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 2: they made all you know Ohio State. When Gaga about 1330 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,600 Speaker 2: Terrell Pryor coming out of Inkster, I saw him in 1331 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 2: high school and there's a lot of similarities. I think 1332 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,040 Speaker 2: this kid's got all the talent in the world. But 1333 01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,240 Speaker 2: you know, Catholic Central picked them off twice and made 1334 01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,599 Speaker 2: them look human. So we'll see. But you know what, 1335 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 2: at least they got a guy that can hitch their 1336 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 2: wagon too. Good stuff VJ. Really good analysis, Man God 1337 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,920 Speaker 2: blessed Man, One Love and Gold Blue all right, outstanding VJ. Husky. 1338 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 2: He called it man the give the man his due. 1339 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,599 Speaker 2: He made no bones about the fact Michigan is winning 1340 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,519 Speaker 2: this damn game, and we fleshed it out. This wasn't 1341 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,639 Speaker 2: just some blowhard state that if you're wrong, no one remembers. 1342 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 2: He really nailed an angle there regarding Will Howard that 1343 01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 2: I'd forgotten about the spring deal thing, and I didn't 1344 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 2: know if it was because Ryan Day was just doing 1345 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 2: that to create competition. But look, like I said, you 1346 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 2: don't go get a guy in the portal and bring 1347 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,680 Speaker 2: him in so you can play games. Somebody must have 1348 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,560 Speaker 2: saw something, and you know what, there's a certain championship 1349 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 2: DNA that some guys are just born with. And that 1350 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,360 Speaker 2: with all due respect to Will Howard, because he's talented 1351 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 2: and he's had a good season, he's had three good 1352 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,040 Speaker 2: games in a row. But when it mattered most, if 1353 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 2: there's an old thing, can you be great when the 1354 01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,280 Speaker 2: situation demands greatness? And with all due respect to Will Howard, 1355 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,919 Speaker 2: that was not a tour to Force performance on Saturday. 1356 01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,599 Speaker 2: Top credit to the Michigan Wolverines one percent, Top credit 1357 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,920 Speaker 2: to Sharon Moore. And somehow we got through that whole 1358 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 2: conversation without mentioning Charon Moore the man. I'm sick of 1359 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 2: hearing about Lincoln Riley. I'm sick of hearing about these 1360 01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,400 Speaker 2: other guys that they prop up on a pedestal that 1361 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 2: haven't done a damn thing, and all Charon Moore has 1362 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,200 Speaker 2: done his preside over a Mullig season, that everything could 1363 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 2: have gone wrong, and look what happened. He channeled Bill 1364 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,040 Speaker 2: sham Becker from nineteen sixty nine. I'm telling you, Michigan 1365 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,559 Speaker 2: could really build on this. We'll see if they do. 1366 01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,719 Speaker 2: Coming up, we have got to flip to the NFL. 1367 01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 2: We just have too much to talk about, and you know, 1368 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 2: we'll start a little bit later. We're gonna update on 1369 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 2: the number one seeds in wildcard upsets, and we're gonna 1370 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a thing called the NFL Pythagoream theorem. 1371 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,639 Speaker 2: And based on records and based on their statistics, does 1372 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 2: the record really match the statistic? You may be you 1373 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 2: may be pleasantly surprised, or may be unpleasantly surprised. We'll 1374 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,280 Speaker 2: don't have to share with you. We'll do that in 1375 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,240 Speaker 2: the one o'clock hour. But coming up, we're gonna have 1376 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,879 Speaker 2: a little fun with numbers as we head into NFL 1377 01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 2: Week thirteen, which kicks off here now. We kicks off 1378 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 2: here now in about nine hours and eighteen minutes. I'm 1379 01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle.

Time to 1385 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 2: jump with both feet into the NFL as the NFL 1386 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,839 Speaker 2: season is very much taking shape. Trust me, they always 1387 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 2: remember what you'll do in December. Start out a little 1388 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:22,880 Speaker 2: fun with numbers. Let's start with the number four. That's 1389 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:26,320 Speaker 2: the number of Tampa Bay Buccaneers players who actually ran 1390 01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,240 Speaker 2: for a TV in the Bucks thirty to seven route 1391 01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:35,720 Speaker 2: of the completely listless and no more Daniel Jones New 1392 01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 2: York Giants. By the way, quarterback Baker Mayfield was one 1393 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,000 Speaker 2: of them, even though this was his first game this 1394 01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:47,440 Speaker 2: season without a touchdown pass four different players ran for touchdowns. 1395 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,919 Speaker 2: How About the number six that's the number of teams 1396 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens, the Denver Broncos, the Houston Texans, the 1397 01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts, the New England Patriots, and the Washington Commandos 1398 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,120 Speaker 2: who have yet to have a bye week this season. 1399 01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,360 Speaker 2: How about that all of them will do so next 1400 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,600 Speaker 2: week in Week fourteen. For future planning. How about the 1401 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 2: number seven. That's the number of sacks Tennessee quarterback Will 1402 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:20,920 Speaker 2: Levis suffered in the first half alone of the Titans 1403 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 2: win over the Texans last week. Tennessee's a little pesky man. 1404 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:28,559 Speaker 2: You just can't trust. We've all been burned so many 1405 01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 2: times by Tennessee. But they're catching points again on Sunday, 1406 01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:34,320 Speaker 2: and there may be some valua there. They do have 1407 01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,000 Speaker 2: the number two overall defense. How about the number twelve. 1408 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 2: This one's abute, Maybe justin or the Baltimore kicker can 1409 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:48,519 Speaker 2: get somebody's juju. Number twelve leaves the number twelve that's 1410 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:53,040 Speaker 2: the number of field goals Houston kicker Kimie Fairbairn has 1411 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,360 Speaker 2: hit from more than fifty yards this season. It's already 1412 01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,280 Speaker 2: an NFL record, and we've still got six games left. 1413 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:03,439 Speaker 2: How about the number nineteen. That's the number of seasons 1414 01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,280 Speaker 2: Kansas City head coach Andy Reid has won at least 1415 01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,479 Speaker 2: ten regular season games. That's the third most in league history, 1416 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:16,400 Speaker 2: right behind Don Shula and some guy named Bill Belichick. 1417 01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:20,640 Speaker 2: Both of those guys reached double digit victories twenty times. 1418 01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,840 Speaker 2: How about the number of twenty five. That's the number 1419 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 2: of consecutive games that the Detroit Lions have scored a 1420 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 2: touchdown on the ground. The Lions do have one hell 1421 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:37,000 Speaker 2: of a running game. Speaking of running games, how about 1422 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,760 Speaker 2: Seakuon Barkley. My god, what a twenty twenty four season 1423 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,639 Speaker 2: he is having. It could happen to a better guy 1424 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 2: since two thousand. Since the year two thousand, only four 1425 01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:52,639 Speaker 2: running backs have won the NFL's MVP Award, Marshall Falk, Seawn, 1426 01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 2: Alexander Ladanian, Tomlinson, and Adrian Peterson and some pretty damn 1427 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:03,360 Speaker 2: good company. And Philadelphia won last Sunday Night thirty seven 1428 01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 2: to twenty over the Rams. I believe that MVP discussions 1429 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 2: are underway for Sakuon Barkley, who has all the bona 1430 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:18,840 Speaker 2: fide requisite data to become the fifth NFL running back 1431 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 2: to win an MVP. He had three hundred and two 1432 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,680 Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage Sunday night. It's only happened twice in 1433 01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,559 Speaker 2: the history of primetime football. Including two runs of at 1434 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,960 Speaker 2: least seventy yards, That's the tenth highest single game mark 1435 01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 2: in NFL history. He's on pace for two one and 1436 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,240 Speaker 2: fifty one yards that would beat Eric Dickerson and his 1437 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 2: single season record of twenty one oh five. And I 1438 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 2: know you're saying, well, they're going to play one more game. Hey, hey, 1439 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,360 Speaker 2: it's been forty years man, no one's touched Eric Dickerson's record. 1440 01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,760 Speaker 2: And I remember that season very very well. By the way, 1441 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 2: the Eagles, his Eagles have won seventh straight. They're nine 1442 01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:00,639 Speaker 2: and two. In great gratitude to sake one on Barkley, 1443 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 2: I absolutely believe the Eagles will be the Lions' biggest 1444 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:08,920 Speaker 2: nemesis to come out of the NFC. I absolutely believe that, 1445 01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,799 Speaker 2: and I will be very surprised, frankly, if the Eagles 1446 01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 2: don't win in Baltimore on Sunday. So, you know, they 1447 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 2: say people want to imply that the running back position 1448 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 2: is dead. No, it's not. It was never dead. You 1449 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 2: just find out they're interchangeable, that's all. It's still a 1450 01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 2: very much needed position. Because when Clyde Edwards Hilaire was 1451 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,000 Speaker 2: drafted in the first round three years ago and the 1452 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 2: Chiefs go to win the Super Bowl without him, they 1453 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 2: plug in a seventh rounder out of Rutgers name Isaiah Pacheco, 1454 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 2: and he runs for one hundred and thirty yards and 1455 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 2: the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. And you see time 1456 01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 2: and time again a guy come off the bench and 1457 01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,280 Speaker 2: replace the running back and production doesn't go down. The 1458 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 2: running back position is very, very valuable. They just happen 1459 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 2: to be more interchangeable. Except I don't know if there's 1460 01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 2: a replacement for Saquon Barkley. Keep him upright, because I 1461 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 2: think with Saquon Barkley on the field, even Nick Siriani 1462 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 2: can't screw this up. Coming up, we continue on with 1463 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 2: the NFL.

The college 1472 01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:41,439 Speaker 2: football playoff picture is taking shape, and it's time as 1473 01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:45,960 Speaker 2: we get into December, to analyze and give some context 1474 01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,840 Speaker 2: as to what all this means pee wee when it 1475 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 2: comes to the NFL. Because we're only about thirty seven 1476 01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 2: days away from the NFL's regular season finale on January fifth, 1477 01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 2: So let's check in on some key battles. Here's what 1478 01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 2: I think you might want to know based on playoff 1479 01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 2: projections if they the season were to end to day, 1480 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:09,280 Speaker 2: and some speculation. Okay, so remember this year, on this 1481 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:13,000 Speaker 2: playoff format, only one team of the NFC and one 1482 01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 2: team in the AFC get a first round by as 1483 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,880 Speaker 2: it stands right now, because the Chiefs and Lions have 1484 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,920 Speaker 2: already played. The Chiefs played on Black Friday and the 1485 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:27,400 Speaker 2: Lions played on Thanksgiving Day. They both have identical eleven 1486 01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,880 Speaker 2: to one records, and they are frankly favorites to lock 1487 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,320 Speaker 2: down the respective number one seeds and secure what I 1488 01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:38,280 Speaker 2: think will be an invaluable week off for Kansas City, 1489 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,160 Speaker 2: basically as business as usual. It'd be the fifth by 1490 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,719 Speaker 2: fifth by Patrick Mahomes has only been in the league 1491 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,559 Speaker 2: seven years, and he's the first quarterback in NFL history 1492 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:54,519 Speaker 2: to go to the playoffs as a starter his first 1493 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,120 Speaker 2: seven years, and this would be his fifth buy but 1494 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 2: in Detroit, completely uncharted territory. The Lions haven't had a 1495 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,320 Speaker 2: first round by since nineteen ninety one. That team was 1496 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:12,640 Speaker 2: twelve and four. On January fifth, nineteen ninety two, they 1497 01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,479 Speaker 2: beat the Cowboys thirty eight to six. And I remember 1498 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 2: John Madden saying you're looking at the two teams of 1499 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,640 Speaker 2: the nineties. Well he was half right. Dallas went on 1500 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 2: to win three Super Bowls. The Lions never won a 1501 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:26,519 Speaker 2: playoff game the rest of the nineties and didn't even 1502 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 2: win a playoff game until just this past January. They 1503 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,880 Speaker 2: went there was a drought of what thirty one years. 1504 01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,040 Speaker 2: Barry Sanders carried them to the number two seed a 1505 01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:40,920 Speaker 2: trip to the Conference finals. They lost to Washington, who 1506 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:42,600 Speaker 2: went on to beat Buffalo in the Super Bowl. But 1507 01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 2: I digress. Kansas City business as usual, Detroit, first time 1508 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 2: in thirty three years, they'd have a buy in the playoffs. 1509 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 2: But there's always that big butt peewee. You cannot go 1510 01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:00,320 Speaker 2: to sleep on the Buffalo bills and the film They'll 1511 01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:02,639 Speaker 2: fee Eagles. Now they're both nine and two, and actually 1512 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,120 Speaker 2: Buffalo will play Detroit here in a couple weeks. Each 1513 01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 2: of them have about, according to these metrics, if you 1514 01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:12,000 Speaker 2: want to do the nerd thing, about a thirty percent 1515 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:15,400 Speaker 2: chance of landing the number one seed. And remember Buffalo's 1516 01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 2: beating Kansas City, so they'd hold a tiebreaker, which means 1517 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:22,439 Speaker 2: the most important remaining game might actually be Buffalo's trip 1518 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,960 Speaker 2: to Detroit in week fifteen. Otherwise, the remaining schedule for 1519 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:31,680 Speaker 2: Buffalo is the fifth easiest based on opponents win percentage. Well, 1520 01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,760 Speaker 2: the Eagles is tenth easiest. Now, don't forget about the Vikings. Also, 1521 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,479 Speaker 2: they're nine and two, but they have the fourth toughest 1522 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,679 Speaker 2: remaining schedule. But they could beat anybody they play that's 1523 01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:45,559 Speaker 2: in their path. But I'm already looking forward to this, 1524 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,720 Speaker 2: not that I want to fast forward it, but I'm 1525 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,080 Speaker 2: looking forward to this because their Week eighteen visit to 1526 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,960 Speaker 2: Detroit could decide the NFC North And you cannot not 1527 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,599 Speaker 2: look at this Detroit team that have some costs for concern. 1528 01:21:58,640 --> 01:21:59,960 Speaker 2: They got to play the Bears again, They got to 1529 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,679 Speaker 2: play Green Bay, they got to play Buffalo, the Vikings 1530 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:04,640 Speaker 2: the final game of the season, got to play the 1531 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:10,800 Speaker 2: forty nine ers. The injuries that the that the the 1532 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 2: Lions have been sustaining are frankly starting to get bothersome. 1533 01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 2: They're stacking up. If you saw the Bears game Thursday, 1534 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 2: in the second half, the Bears all of a sudden 1535 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 2: magically started to move the ball. Well, that's because the 1536 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 2: pass rush wasn't getting home and you're not seeing the 1537 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,559 Speaker 2: depth and Tenacity's still a good defense, but not what 1538 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 2: it was four or five weeks ago. But the offense 1539 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 2: they're going to have to continue to crank. But the 1540 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 2: defense mild caused for concern. And a guy like Malcolm 1541 01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:49,080 Speaker 2: Rodriguez Rodrigo, as you remember from you Know, Hard Knocks 1542 01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 2: three years ago, two years ago, he's very versatile and 1543 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:53,559 Speaker 2: he would have been a guy you could put a 1544 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,960 Speaker 2: spy on Jalen Hurts should those two teams meet in 1545 01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 2: the playoffs, and now they won't be able to. So 1546 01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 2: there's concern. There's you can't say there's not. It needs 1547 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 2: nothing to be worried about, but it's something that has 1548 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 2: to be front of mind if you're a Lion's and 1549 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:11,640 Speaker 2: you're being honest. We'll see how they do Thursday night 1550 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,160 Speaker 2: against Green Bay. There's a five point favorite. So what 1551 01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,200 Speaker 2: are in line or who are on line? Excuse me 1552 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 2: for the three AFC wild card spots. Well, right now, 1553 01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 2: the Chargers are seven and four, the Ravens are eight 1554 01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,360 Speaker 2: and four, and the Broncos are seven and five. They 1555 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,680 Speaker 2: frankly are very much in the driver's seat because they 1556 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 2: have commanding leaves over the Dolphins, who are now five 1557 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 2: and seven. The Colts are five and seven, and the 1558 01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,560 Speaker 2: Bengals are four and seven, and the Bengals got the 1559 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:40,679 Speaker 2: Steelers coming to town later this afternoon. But I still 1560 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 2: feel like the Bengals prevailed. But bo they got work 1561 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 2: to do. Miami, you know, lost their three game winning streak. 1562 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:49,759 Speaker 2: They lost to the Packers, and they'll have the Jets, 1563 01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:51,920 Speaker 2: Texans and forty nine Ers coming up. There are no 1564 01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:54,200 Speaker 2: easy games in the NFL. I don't I don't buy 1565 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,559 Speaker 2: the I don't buy the crap about soft schedule. That's 1566 01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 2: just crap. Some teams are better than others, so teams 1567 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 2: have better winning records than others. But in the National 1568 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:04,360 Speaker 2: Football League, you're out of your mind if you don't 1569 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,360 Speaker 2: think anything can happen. You saw you listen. You saw 1570 01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:08,960 Speaker 2: what happened to the Lines and Bears on Thursday, and 1571 01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 2: you certainly saw what happened with the Raiders and Chiefs. 1572 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:15,800 Speaker 2: These were two scary games for those teams. I'm not 1573 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 2: buying it, but you still got to give the Colts 1574 01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:21,280 Speaker 2: some love. Even though you've got a hothouse team going 1575 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 2: outdoors to New York. I'm still not sold on Anthony 1576 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 2: Richardson by a long shot. They Treil Houston, who's seven 1577 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,880 Speaker 2: and five, by two full games for the AFC South. 1578 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,839 Speaker 2: But you know, if if everybody who's telling me Anthony 1579 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:40,880 Speaker 2: Richardson is really improving, don't tell me, show me. If 1580 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 2: it's theoretical, that's the case in theory that the Colts 1581 01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 2: could make a run, and it starts check that I 1582 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,360 Speaker 2: met I said the Jets. I was wrong. I met 1583 01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 2: the Patriots. I think the Patriots are a good place Sunday. 1584 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 2: But if the Colts, you know, go into New England 1585 01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 2: and win, then you got to you follow it up 1586 01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:02,000 Speaker 2: with the Broncos, Titans, Giants, and Jaguars. That's actually considered 1587 01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 2: based on you know, strength to record, et cetera. The 1588 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 2: league's easiest schedule. Now, how about the NFC wildcard race? Now, 1589 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 2: the Vikes and Packers, they're both eight and three. They 1590 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 2: look like shoe In's, you know, the nerd metrics ninety percent. 1591 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 2: The Commandos seven and five, they're fighter to stay afloat. 1592 01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:21,280 Speaker 2: They've lost three straight games. They're regressing to the mean, 1593 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,760 Speaker 2: and I believe that's going to continue now. Currently on 1594 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,680 Speaker 2: the outside, four teams who can win on every game 1595 01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,280 Speaker 2: to Sunday. I like the Cardinals. I love Kyler Murray, 1596 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,280 Speaker 2: I like their coach Jonathan Gannon. The Bucks I think 1597 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 2: are just too damn banged up, too damn banged up 1598 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 2: to to finish this deal. It's a shame because they 1599 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,880 Speaker 2: got a lot of talent. The Rams five and six. 1600 01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,160 Speaker 2: I'm not sold on the Rams. Whenever they get on 1601 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,800 Speaker 2: the field with a good team, they're very much exposed. 1602 01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,679 Speaker 2: And we'll see if the Saints can handle them on Sunday, 1603 01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:50,160 Speaker 2: and if that happens, you can stick a FOURK in 1604 01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 2: the Rams and be five and seven. Meanwhile, the Niners 1605 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 2: are just not buttoned up. They had to you know, 1606 01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 2: Buffalo tough call bad weather. As they got Christian McCaffrey. 1607 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 2: They got a banged up rock party start in a quarterback. 1608 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,479 Speaker 2: But what I saw last week when the Niners, you know, 1609 01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:10,879 Speaker 2: turned a ten point lead into a twenty eight point loss, 1610 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,880 Speaker 2: and they did in style. Man, they had multiple turnovers, 1611 01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:21,479 Speaker 2: ten penalties. They don't look buttoned up right now. I 1612 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 2: guess you can keep an eye on the Falcons. They're 1613 01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,680 Speaker 2: six and five. They technically lead the NFC South, but 1614 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,920 Speaker 2: they're in a bit of a precarious situation. They've lost 1615 01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:32,839 Speaker 2: two straight. They got to handle the hardball Chargers on Sunday. 1616 01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,559 Speaker 2: Then you get the Vikings and Commanders, the Bucks five 1617 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,759 Speaker 2: and six if they went out against their remaining schedule, 1618 01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:42,519 Speaker 2: which is the third easiest, the Raiders Panthers twice. Don't 1619 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,479 Speaker 2: go to sleep on the Panthers. They're starting to play 1620 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 2: some ball. They could They're they're not going anywhere, but 1621 01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:52,200 Speaker 2: they could pee on someone's parade pretty quickly. And then you 1622 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 2: got the Cowboys who are trending up if you want 1623 01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,880 Speaker 2: to say that, the SATs and Chargers, and now the 1624 01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,560 Speaker 2: AFC South is another cluster, and who knows eight and 1625 01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 2: nine win that damn division. But somebody's gonna win it. 1626 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 2: On the other hand, it's never too soon to start 1627 01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:09,400 Speaker 2: speculating about who's gonna get the number one draft pick. 1628 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 2: Right now, the Raiders and Giants are duking it out. 1629 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,120 Speaker 2: They're both two and nine. Checks actually to check that 1630 01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:19,160 Speaker 2: the Raiders are two and ten and the Giants they're 1631 01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:21,640 Speaker 2: two and nine, probably on their way to being two 1632 01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:23,759 Speaker 2: and ten. No, check that they're two and ten. Also, 1633 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,200 Speaker 2: the lost to Dallas on Thanksgiving Sunday. The Jags two 1634 01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:28,600 Speaker 2: and nine will see what they can do. They're all 1635 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,839 Speaker 2: projected to win it the most fourteen games, four games. 1636 01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,879 Speaker 2: Jacksonville does have the second easiest remaining schedule. It's likelier. 1637 01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,040 Speaker 2: I would say it's either going to be the Giants 1638 01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,760 Speaker 2: or Raiders that got the number one pick, right, but 1639 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,720 Speaker 2: it can't count out the Panthers who are three and eight, 1640 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 2: the Pats who are three and nine, the Browns who 1641 01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:48,360 Speaker 2: are three and eight, are the Titans three and eight. 1642 01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:52,680 Speaker 2: They could get it, especially with upcoming schedules that they 1643 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:56,200 Speaker 2: play now. Given the Bears easiest remaining opponent is the 1644 01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 2: defending NFC chant forty nine Ers, there's a chance they're 1645 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 2: losing extends from five to eleven games over the remaining 1646 01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:05,680 Speaker 2: six weeks. If it does, the Bears would in with 1647 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:07,920 Speaker 2: a four and thirteen record and a top three pick, 1648 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 2: which could entice their next head coach to perhaps want 1649 01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,599 Speaker 2: to join that club. We'll see. I know they say 1650 01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 2: they're going to break the bank for Ben Johnson. I'll 1651 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 2: tell you why I wouldn't hire Ben Johnson, not because 1652 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,400 Speaker 2: he's not brilliant. You don't need to bring in a 1653 01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,040 Speaker 2: coach there. You don't need to bring in a coach 1654 01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:28,759 Speaker 2: there who's got to learn on the job. And again, 1655 01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:33,080 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson is brilliant. But when you're the offensive coordinator 1656 01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 2: of a National league football team, you're the head coach 1657 01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 2: of the offense. When you're a defensive coordinator, you're the 1658 01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:43,559 Speaker 2: head coach of the defense. But when you are the 1659 01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 2: head coach, you're the CEO, chief cook and bottle washer, 1660 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,800 Speaker 2: surrogate father. You got to handle everything, and it's a 1661 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,599 Speaker 2: tough deal. And if you put a guy in that 1662 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 2: role with an organization that just seems to be incredibly 1663 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,320 Speaker 2: as dysfunctional as the Bears, I think you're asking for it. 1664 01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:03,800 Speaker 2: You know, when you've got veterans out there that have 1665 01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:07,719 Speaker 2: coached before, whether it's advanced, Joseph even at Cliff Kingsbury, 1666 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:11,479 Speaker 2: Steve Spagnolo, Brian Flores. You might see Mike McCarthy in 1667 01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 2: the mix. How about a Mike Vrabel. I don't think 1668 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,559 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick wants to go to Chicago, but these are 1669 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,640 Speaker 2: guys who've been there, done that, not their first barbecue. 1670 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,839 Speaker 2: I think you got to get a veteran guy. However, 1671 01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson also leads a potential list of first time 1672 01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:30,200 Speaker 2: NFL head coaches with a lot of talent, and I 1673 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:32,760 Speaker 2: want to bring that list to you because I think 1674 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:35,160 Speaker 2: you're going to see Bill Belichick in the NFL next year, 1675 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,880 Speaker 2: but he's actually going to have some He's going to 1676 01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,240 Speaker 2: have some competition. There's going to be as many as 1677 01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 2: seven jobs, but there's going to be a lot of candidates, 1678 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:47,240 Speaker 2: and many of them experience, but many of them looking 1679 01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:49,240 Speaker 2: for their first gig. I'm going to run down that list. 1680 01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:51,280 Speaker 2: You'll kind a kick out of some of the names. 1681 01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:55,400 Speaker 2: Football fans should be sure to tune into Fox Sports 1682 01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:59,160 Speaker 2: Radio every Sunday morning beginning at ten am Eastern seven 1683 01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:01,800 Speaker 2: am Pacific, or a countdown to kickoff presented by a 1684 01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:05,519 Speaker 2: bet MGM, Brian no, Jeff Schwartz, my buddy professional vetter 1685 01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:08,200 Speaker 2: Bill Krackenberger.

Coming to life from the tarret 1693 01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:30,680 Speaker 2: dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. We are just 1694 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 2: thirty nine minutes away from the dance Sensation sweep in 1695 01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,599 Speaker 2: the nation. What kind of brand new fool you followed by? 1696 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:42,000 Speaker 2: What my name? But it's that time now There've already 1697 01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 2: been two coaches fired in the National Football League, saying 1698 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,800 Speaker 2: there will be as many seven openings this year. On 1699 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,800 Speaker 2: Friday Night, I talked about the veteran coaches that are 1700 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,559 Speaker 2: going to get interviews, the guys that have had jobs before, 1701 01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:59,000 Speaker 2: Vance Joseph Cliff Kingsbury, Steve Spagnola, Brian Flores, Mike McCarthy. 1702 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,840 Speaker 2: I say McCarthy because I'm assuming he'll move on, but 1703 01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,720 Speaker 2: he may get another job. Mike Rabel, who should be 1704 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:09,200 Speaker 2: highly sought after, and of course Bill Belichick. But how 1705 01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:12,519 Speaker 2: about the potential first time NFL head coaches. We start 1706 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:16,400 Speaker 2: with Ben Johnson. Obviously, the oc Allion's been one of 1707 01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,559 Speaker 2: the hottest names over the last two hiring cycles, and 1708 01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:21,360 Speaker 2: there's no question that's going to be the case here 1709 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 2: coming up in January. Here's no guarantee you'll leave Detroit. 1710 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,679 Speaker 2: He's thirty eight years old, one of the league's best 1711 01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,559 Speaker 2: offensive minds. He's got an elite play caller. He had 1712 01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,040 Speaker 2: not only helped revive Jared Goff's career, but turned him 1713 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 2: into one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL. This 1714 01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:38,600 Speaker 2: is an era when quarterback development is more valuable than anything. 1715 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:42,719 Speaker 2: He'll be a top candidate for any team leaning toward 1716 01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:46,519 Speaker 2: hiring an offensive coach. The only problem is teams are 1717 01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,360 Speaker 2: well versed in Ben Johnson's selective approach, and the Lions 1718 01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:51,160 Speaker 2: appear to be on the verge of another playoff run 1719 01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 2: that could limit his playoff or check at his interview availability. 1720 01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,439 Speaker 2: Think about it, He's got designs the Lions want to 1721 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 2: win a super Bowl, so I you know that that's 1722 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:06,360 Speaker 2: something to watch. We'll see. I know, I think he 1723 01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:10,320 Speaker 2: would have had a job last last cycle in January, 1724 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:13,840 Speaker 2: but I think he intentionally priced himself too high, and 1725 01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:15,760 Speaker 2: I think he was frustrated they had the Niners beat 1726 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,400 Speaker 2: Man when they wanted to. He's got unfinished business. You 1727 01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,000 Speaker 2: imagine if you're the guy that presides over an offense 1728 01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:24,200 Speaker 2: that even gets just gets the Lions to a super Bowl, 1729 01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:27,240 Speaker 2: forget winning it, play a team he had won a 1730 01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:29,760 Speaker 2: playoff game in fifty seven years, or one playoff game 1731 01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:32,479 Speaker 2: in fifty seven years. All right, speaking of fifty seven, 1732 01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:35,960 Speaker 2: the fifty seven year old Dion Sanders, they said he 1733 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,640 Speaker 2: has no plans to leave for the NFL. Okay, he 1734 01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:42,439 Speaker 2: said he has no plans to leave for the NFL. No, No, 1735 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:44,760 Speaker 2: I think he'll do it. No, I don't. I think 1736 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:47,960 Speaker 2: there are horses for courses, and I think Dion is 1737 01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:51,400 Speaker 2: better suited to be a college guy. He's a mentor, 1738 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,280 Speaker 2: he's a surro good father, he's got you know, it's 1739 01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,720 Speaker 2: the old saying that you know you're working with what 1740 01:32:56,920 --> 01:33:00,599 Speaker 2: cement when you're working with college players. NFL player, Come on, 1741 01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 2: they're businessmen. They're growing ass men with families. Chuck Day, 1742 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:09,280 Speaker 2: the legendary elegant head coach of the Detroit Pistons who 1743 01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:11,400 Speaker 2: went back to back championships with the Bad Boys, once 1744 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 2: told me he said coaching an NBA team is a 1745 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,760 Speaker 2: lot like managing an adult day care center. Now, he 1746 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:19,200 Speaker 2: didn't say that in the pejorative. He didn't say that 1747 01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:22,320 Speaker 2: to put anybody down. These are grown men. Your job 1748 01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,400 Speaker 2: is to get you to like you and play hard 1749 01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:26,680 Speaker 2: for him, and that's it. They know what they need 1750 01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:29,519 Speaker 2: to do. Of course, there's coaching involved, but it's not 1751 01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:31,960 Speaker 2: the same as is in college, where you can really 1752 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,839 Speaker 2: have influence. Plus, Dion can shop for his own groceries. 1753 01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:36,080 Speaker 2: He can bring in the players he wants. For the 1754 01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:38,360 Speaker 2: most part, he's already got a huge commit coming in 1755 01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:42,760 Speaker 2: the number two quarterback. But that might not prevent teams 1756 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:46,759 Speaker 2: for at least trying to line up Dion for an interview. Okay, 1757 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:49,880 Speaker 2: you know you can interview for a job if people 1758 01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:51,160 Speaker 2: tell me, well, I don't know if I want that job. 1759 01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 2: It's going to be a twenty eight mile commute. But 1760 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:55,120 Speaker 2: don't worry about it. He've been offered the job yet, 1761 01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:57,760 Speaker 2: he interviewed for the job. If you like it, you 1762 01:33:57,800 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 2: can decide whether you want to take it. You don't 1763 01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:02,200 Speaker 2: have a decision to make him. You're offered something. Now, 1764 01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:05,800 Speaker 2: we know Dion likes money, as do most people. He 1765 01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:11,000 Speaker 2: likes the spotlight. If there's the right opportunity, and Sanders's 1766 01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:13,040 Speaker 2: son is a top five pick and he has an 1767 01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:18,680 Speaker 2: opportunity to coach his son, it's all theoretical. I'm telling you, 1768 01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to happen. But if it did, 1769 01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:24,800 Speaker 2: Dion Sanders would command instant credibility in the locker room. 1770 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 2: And it's fair to wonder whether Scott would work as 1771 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,240 Speaker 2: well in the NFL's as in college. But there's no 1772 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,599 Speaker 2: ability to check that. There's no doubt in his ability 1773 01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:36,840 Speaker 2: to lead men. He's born to do this. And I 1774 01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:40,000 Speaker 2: don't know if Jerry Jones wants to really create a craziness, 1775 01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:43,040 Speaker 2: but I think there's no way he goes to Dallas 1776 01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:47,080 Speaker 2: because you part with Dak Prescott. It's one hundred million 1777 01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:51,000 Speaker 2: dollars cap hit. Come on, man, you want to be 1778 01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:53,240 Speaker 2: really want to be Mickey the Dunce. Here eighty two 1779 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,519 Speaker 2: year old Jerry Jones starting over with a rebuilt. I 1780 01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 2: don't think so. I don't think so, And I don't 1781 01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:00,760 Speaker 2: think Schudor wants to sit behind Dak for a year. 1782 01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,760 Speaker 2: So let's scratch that. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But 1783 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 2: Sanders would also need to show he can hire a 1784 01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:11,280 Speaker 2: solid staff. He also need a strong GM. Team building 1785 01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,040 Speaker 2: is a lot different. You know, if you don't have 1786 01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:15,639 Speaker 2: an in supply of nil money, you got a salary 1787 01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,120 Speaker 2: cap in the NFL, and it'd be a real hell 1788 01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:20,920 Speaker 2: of a risk reward thing. But I think some teams 1789 01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,559 Speaker 2: will talk to Dion. How about Aaron Glynn. You know 1790 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:28,680 Speaker 2: we talk a lot about Ben Johnson. He's the stud 1791 01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:33,120 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for the Lions. How about the defensive coordinator. 1792 01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,200 Speaker 2: Aaron Glynn has a great, strong reputation around the league. 1793 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:38,200 Speaker 2: He's been working his way up the ranks over the 1794 01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:40,800 Speaker 2: past decade. He's certainly paid his dues. He was a 1795 01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:43,559 Speaker 2: cornerback in the league. He had a very good fifteen 1796 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:45,679 Speaker 2: year NFL career. He knows what he's doing and he's 1797 01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:49,280 Speaker 2: he's transitioned into the coaching role quite quite nicely. I 1798 01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:54,080 Speaker 2: think the speculation is that Aaron Glyndd could get a 1799 01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,479 Speaker 2: look with the New Orleans Saints. Remember he played his 1800 01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 2: final season there two years before they won the Super Bowl. 1801 01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,160 Speaker 2: He worked on under Sean Payton for five years, and 1802 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:06,519 Speaker 2: the GM of the Saints, Mickey Loomis, are still there 1803 01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,800 Speaker 2: from Aaron Glenn's playing day, so they're familiar with him. 1804 01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:15,200 Speaker 2: And when you consider that he Aaron Glenn lost his 1805 01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 2: best defensive player, his star pass rusher Aiden Hutchinson, and 1806 01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,599 Speaker 2: the Lions still managed to shut down the Houston Texans 1807 01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:26,599 Speaker 2: in that wild comeback. These things work well, making those 1808 01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:28,559 Speaker 2: high speed decisions in the heat of battle and not 1809 01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:32,120 Speaker 2: missing a beat. The question is, well, the Saints want 1810 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:35,360 Speaker 2: another Peyton disciple. They just got rid of a Payton disciple, 1811 01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:37,200 Speaker 2: Dennis sala But Dennis Salad should have never been heard 1812 01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:39,680 Speaker 2: in the first damn place. So Aaron Glenn is, are 1813 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,120 Speaker 2: they going to be a prime candidate? He can't rule 1814 01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:45,000 Speaker 2: out Zach Robinson, the Falcons offensive coordinator. He's the first 1815 01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:47,519 Speaker 2: time play call of the season, and the numbers have 1816 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,040 Speaker 2: shown they've gotten better production on A B. John Robinson. 1817 01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:53,599 Speaker 2: They've gotten better production on A Drake London and Kyle Pitts, 1818 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:56,479 Speaker 2: even though Kirk Cousins has been good at times and 1819 01:36:56,520 --> 01:37:01,400 Speaker 2: not good other times again another dude thirty eight. He's Atlanta. 1820 01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:05,280 Speaker 2: He was the Raheem Morris top choice as the OC 1821 01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 2: because they'd worked together the previous three years with the Rams. 1822 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,840 Speaker 2: But beyond that, also Morris k new Robinson would be 1823 01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:16,960 Speaker 2: a head coach in short order. I think he's going 1824 01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,800 Speaker 2: to be. We'll see where. We'll see if he gets 1825 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:24,559 Speaker 2: on this cycle. But again, he's also done a good 1826 01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:27,680 Speaker 2: job of developing his offensive staff. So you're going to 1827 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 2: see Zach Robinson the OC of of the Falcons get looks. 1828 01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 2: Bobby Slowa can name you here all over and over 1829 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,240 Speaker 2: and over again. He burst upon the scene in twenty 1830 01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:43,599 Speaker 2: twenty three in Houston Houston, Texans. He's the guy who's 1831 01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,960 Speaker 2: most notably responsible and should get credit for c J. 1832 01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:50,479 Speaker 2: Stroud's quick development. Bobby slok is seen around the league. 1833 01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:53,439 Speaker 2: Is a very good play caller. He's really impressed his peers. 1834 01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:58,280 Speaker 2: He had a very impressive game plan last year in 1835 01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,439 Speaker 2: January when the playoff victory over the Cliland Browns, and 1836 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:05,040 Speaker 2: the Texans offense hasn't exactly been, you know, exploding this season, 1837 01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:07,479 Speaker 2: so the hype around him is leveled off a little bit. 1838 01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:10,080 Speaker 2: But if Houston wins THEFC South and they get back 1839 01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:12,400 Speaker 2: in the post, He's neck gets styled up again. All right, 1840 01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:14,639 Speaker 2: slowed by the way. He's only thirty seven years old. 1841 01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:18,799 Speaker 2: He's a Kyle Shanahan disciple who actually has experienced coaching 1842 01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:22,280 Speaker 2: defense with a Niners and seventeen. But he was promoted 1843 01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:25,240 Speaker 2: to the passing game coordinator in San Francisco two years 1844 01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:28,880 Speaker 2: ago before the texansired him. Doesn't hurt. He has has 1845 01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:31,599 Speaker 2: experienced on the defensive side of the ball. Liam Cohen 1846 01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:33,920 Speaker 2: is a name you don't here, but he's a genius 1847 01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 2: play caller. He's done great things with Baker Mayfield when 1848 01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:42,439 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay had their full complimentary receivers. Remember they went 1849 01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:44,200 Speaker 2: in and beat the Lions Week three as an eight 1850 01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,920 Speaker 2: point underdog. He's you know, he's got Baker Mayfield. Liam 1851 01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:50,000 Speaker 2: Cohen has got Baker Mayfield playing the best football of 1852 01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:52,760 Speaker 2: his career, even with all the injuries. And here's a 1853 01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:56,320 Speaker 2: guy who's bounced around. You know, he was in Kentucky 1854 01:38:57,160 --> 01:39:02,120 Speaker 2: and he was Sean mcvay's coordinator. Now first year he's 1855 01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:04,559 Speaker 2: been a full time play caller. I think he's impressed 1856 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,360 Speaker 2: a lot of people. Tampa Bay's offense is still even 1857 01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:09,800 Speaker 2: with all their injuries, fifty NFL, they're putting up twenty 1858 01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:12,360 Speaker 2: seven points a game. I don't know if he gets 1859 01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:15,080 Speaker 2: you know, he's very inexperienced when it comes to interviewing 1860 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,320 Speaker 2: and being out there in the circuit. So he might 1861 01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:19,040 Speaker 2: be a year away from a head coaching offer. But 1862 01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:22,320 Speaker 2: he's on the list as well as Drew Petsig, the 1863 01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:26,719 Speaker 2: Arizona offensive coordinator and Frank Smith, the Dolphins defensive coordinator. 1864 01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:30,000 Speaker 2: And let's not forget Jesse Mentor, who is the genius 1865 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:34,080 Speaker 2: behind the Michigan team last year. He's the forty one 1866 01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:37,680 Speaker 2: years old, he's the Chargers defensive coordinator, and he's a 1867 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:42,320 Speaker 2: guy who knows his way around. But back to Bill Belichick. 1868 01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 2: People are wanting to know it's starting to heat up 1869 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,679 Speaker 2: or already in December. I've had a gentleman on Jeff 1870 01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:52,400 Speaker 2: Dasson many times. We've talked about Belichick in the past 1871 01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:54,320 Speaker 2: and how Belichick has been a choice of a few 1872 01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:59,920 Speaker 2: different teams and it can change. And the truth of 1873 01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,320 Speaker 2: the matter is, because it has bounced a bit from 1874 01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:06,160 Speaker 2: the various teams that are mentioned, it's time to talk 1875 01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:09,200 Speaker 2: to Jeff D. Austin out of Boston with ECI you'll 1876 01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,360 Speaker 2: hear the accident right away. Annoying it is out of Boston, 1877 01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:15,719 Speaker 2: and let's find out where Belichick stands. According to Jeff 1878 01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:18,240 Speaker 2: right now, yeah, good. 1879 01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,920 Speaker 8: Morning and happy thanks skib and Bernie back at you. 1880 01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:25,640 Speaker 2: So a quick question for you, are you hearing the well? 1881 01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:27,080 Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to lead the witness 1882 01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:30,280 Speaker 2: and put origin about. But they keep talking about Jacksonville. 1883 01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:31,240 Speaker 2: Is there a merit to that? 1884 01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:36,200 Speaker 8: My take on that is, I think it's just setting 1885 01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:41,160 Speaker 8: the precedent on what Bill really wants. In other words, 1886 01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,599 Speaker 8: he wants full control. He wants to be able to 1887 01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:50,120 Speaker 8: bring the gang, doctor Josh McDaniel or Patricia his staff, 1888 01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:54,160 Speaker 8: and then of course he wants total control of the drafts. 1889 01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:58,400 Speaker 8: So when I hear Jacksonville jackson, Bill sounds like they're 1890 01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:02,439 Speaker 8: willing to offer him the keys to the car. And 1891 01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:05,880 Speaker 8: so the other teams at least know what Bill's looking for. 1892 01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:10,960 Speaker 8: So I think that's more media and pr everyone I 1893 01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:15,720 Speaker 8: talk to, Thanks, but no thanks. Jack Tendill will not 1894 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,439 Speaker 8: be a destination for bo Okay, fair enough. 1895 01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:21,680 Speaker 2: Well, one of the things we do know Bill Belichick 1896 01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,639 Speaker 2: is fifteen wins away from Don Shula. He's probably only 1897 01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,080 Speaker 2: going to hang around three more years tops, I'm guessing 1898 01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:29,679 Speaker 2: I don't know. That would put him at seventy six 1899 01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:34,240 Speaker 2: years old. And so you have kind of this. You've 1900 01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:35,760 Speaker 2: got to thread the needle, Jeff, And what do I 1901 01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 2: mean by that? He wants to go somewhere that's not 1902 01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:40,200 Speaker 2: a full rebuild, but he's got to know somewhere they're 1903 01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:42,080 Speaker 2: going to need a coach, and he wants to win 1904 01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:45,639 Speaker 2: fifteen games. So process of elimination, what are we looking at? 1905 01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:48,120 Speaker 2: Can you rule out Dallas? Would you rule out the 1906 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:49,520 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys? 1907 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,439 Speaker 8: I think the ego gets in the way with Bill 1908 01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:59,280 Speaker 8: and Jerry, I don't think. I mean that would have 1909 01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:04,720 Speaker 8: been the the easiest path. That would be a good defense, 1910 01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:09,439 Speaker 8: good offense, good structure, not a major rebuild. 1911 01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:10,240 Speaker 9: Do you have a. 1912 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,240 Speaker 8: Quarterback vetan quarterback game? 1913 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:17,360 Speaker 9: I would say in desperation, In other words, Plan A 1914 01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:20,720 Speaker 9: or Plane B didn't go well with Bernie and then 1915 01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,479 Speaker 9: this would be his flawback. I don't think this would 1916 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:25,800 Speaker 9: be his number one choice. 1917 01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,160 Speaker 2: I certainly agree with that, but at some point you 1918 01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:33,080 Speaker 2: start to run out of teams. Listen, we'll just do 1919 01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:35,599 Speaker 2: this for giggles. We know the Chicago Bears are going 1920 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:37,960 Speaker 2: to need a coach. Would Bill Belichick be in the 1921 01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:38,679 Speaker 2: mix for that? 1922 01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:42,000 Speaker 8: Oh, that's a great question, Bernie. 1923 01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:43,000 Speaker 2: What do you want to be? 1924 01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:47,320 Speaker 9: Everything I hear is. 1925 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:50,439 Speaker 8: They're going to push all in for Ben Johnson, They're 1926 01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:52,960 Speaker 8: going to give them a contract and a pen. They're 1927 01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:54,400 Speaker 8: going to obviously try to get. 1928 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:57,799 Speaker 10: Them away from your Lions, and that the fact that 1929 01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:04,600 Speaker 10: that's the Bears guy intriguing, maybe too young of a quarterback? 1930 01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:05,439 Speaker 5: How does that sound? 1931 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:08,040 Speaker 2: Burning? You know? I wouldn't hire Ben Johnson and from 1932 01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:14,800 Speaker 2: the Bears because here's why. That's an organization that needs 1933 01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:18,760 Speaker 2: a field general that seasoned, like a Mike Vrabel. And 1934 01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:21,719 Speaker 2: I don't think at this stage in the Bears history, 1935 01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,479 Speaker 2: whatever that may be, you can bring in a guy 1936 01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:27,760 Speaker 2: who's going to have to produce results fairly quickly while 1937 01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 2: still learning on the job. Just my two cents, man, 1938 01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,280 Speaker 2: Just my two cents. How about the New Orleans Saints? 1939 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:37,160 Speaker 2: Could Bill Belichick? Look, I don't think they're that far 1940 01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 2: away the Saints from being an actual playoff team. 1941 01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:44,960 Speaker 8: The Saints, what do they do with quarterback? Obviously? 1942 01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:49,280 Speaker 9: Do they keep carved? They got a young kid, dis 1943 01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:51,000 Speaker 9: Spencer Rattler that got. 1944 01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:55,880 Speaker 8: A few games didn't look good. That one surprised me 1945 01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:59,400 Speaker 8: because that one was gained in Steam a few months 1946 01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:03,200 Speaker 8: ago as a contender there. So I'll put that on 1947 01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:04,799 Speaker 8: the short list of three. 1948 01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:06,480 Speaker 5: How's that, Bernie. 1949 01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:11,080 Speaker 2: Do I darre mention the Raiders? Bill Belichick to the Raiders. 1950 01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:16,600 Speaker 2: Guess who's here is a part time owner? Now Tom Brady, Wow. 1951 01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:20,280 Speaker 8: You know what great? 1952 01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:25,240 Speaker 9: Sounds good? But there's there's a gentleman and a potential 1953 01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:30,360 Speaker 9: first pick called Chaudor Sanders and Dion Sanders where the 1954 01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:31,639 Speaker 9: Raiders might be market. 1955 01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that to me, that's a disaster waiting to happen 1956 01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,400 Speaker 2: if they've tried to pull some some gimmick like that. 1957 01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,000 Speaker 2: All right, let's go back to the New York Giants, 1958 01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:42,000 Speaker 2: the one team I thought, I don't know, Brian Davie's 1959 01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,040 Speaker 2: still working there, so you don't want to, you know, 1960 01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:45,800 Speaker 2: put a bullsy on a guy's head who's still got 1961 01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:49,719 Speaker 2: a job. But obviously this Giant thing is not worked out, 1962 01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:53,439 Speaker 2: and I think Dabeles regressed and now that Danny Dimes 1963 01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:57,080 Speaker 2: is gone. Thoughts on that that feels like a full 1964 01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:57,920 Speaker 2: rebuild though. 1965 01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:01,760 Speaker 8: Now, well we we talked a year ago on the 1966 01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:04,400 Speaker 8: Giants where it all started. 1967 01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:08,080 Speaker 9: That I'm going to still stick with that. Now, it's 1968 01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:08,759 Speaker 9: kind of funny. 1969 01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:13,760 Speaker 8: I'll kind of correlate it with the Bruins and Jim Montgomery. 1970 01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,920 Speaker 8: You know, you fire a coach and he's hired immediately, 1971 01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:19,800 Speaker 8: like Bruce Cassidy, he wins to Stanley Cup. You fired 1972 01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,920 Speaker 8: Jim Montgomery, he hired two days later by the Saint 1973 01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:23,759 Speaker 8: Louis Blues. 1974 01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:28,120 Speaker 9: So you know, you look at this situation. 1975 01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:32,679 Speaker 8: If Brian Dabole is fired, he would be hired by 1976 01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:35,479 Speaker 8: you know, well, thirty teams would call him. 1977 01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:36,720 Speaker 5: Put it that way. 1978 01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:40,120 Speaker 8: So I think there's a situation where. 1979 01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:42,000 Speaker 9: He would come in. I think he'd get a lot 1980 01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:42,720 Speaker 9: of control. 1981 01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:44,599 Speaker 4: Number one, Number two. 1982 01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:48,920 Speaker 8: They will be drafted in a quarterback. But who's out 1983 01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:53,519 Speaker 8: there for a free agent? A veteran quarterback, a quick 1984 01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:56,360 Speaker 8: rebuilds Why you draft a quarterback. 1985 01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:56,920 Speaker 4: I'm going to. 1986 01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,360 Speaker 8: Stick with that when Bertie is my number one thoughts. 1987 01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:04,280 Speaker 2: All right, So Jeff's the timeline. A year ago about now, 1988 01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:07,080 Speaker 2: you pretty much guaranteed that Bill Belichick would be gone. 1989 01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:08,800 Speaker 2: He was. We just didn't know how it was going 1990 01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:11,479 Speaker 2: to happen. First of the year, you said, yeah, he's 1991 01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:13,880 Speaker 2: going to want to be back in the mix. Didn't 1992 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:15,640 Speaker 2: get hired in the last cycle. Maybe he needed a 1993 01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:18,040 Speaker 2: year off. He sounds like he's having fun. Find the 1994 01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:21,360 Speaker 2: TV camera heading into this year. You're going to stick 1995 01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:25,439 Speaker 2: to your guns and we'll do this in January. I 1996 01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:26,840 Speaker 2: don't want to put words in your mouth, but it 1997 01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:30,400 Speaker 2: sounds like you believe Belichick would be the next coach 1998 01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 2: of the New York Giants. That would be the most 1999 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:33,080 Speaker 2: likely thing to happen. 2000 01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:36,400 Speaker 8: I'm going to stick to that one till January. 2001 01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:39,639 Speaker 2: Bertie, all right, Jeff, appreciate you getting up early. Enjoy 2002 01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:41,599 Speaker 2: the rest of your weekend, man, And you've hit these 2003 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:44,280 Speaker 2: right right along the way if you had your finger 2004 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,960 Speaker 2: on the pulse of the Belichick thing, and I have 2005 01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,240 Speaker 2: no reason to dot you at this point. Jeff, enjoy 2006 01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:49,960 Speaker 2: your weekend, man. 2007 01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:51,200 Speaker 9: You kick. 2008 01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:54,599 Speaker 2: So that's Jeff Dawson from me CI and Boston. I've 2009 01:46:54,600 --> 01:46:58,640 Speaker 2: had him on about three times going back to a 2010 01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:03,160 Speaker 2: year ago. Now, remember you know, memories are short. With 2011 01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:05,880 Speaker 2: five six weeks to go in the season, the speculation 2012 01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:09,840 Speaker 2: was that Bill Belichick would be gone, but would he 2013 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,880 Speaker 2: last the season? Did Robert Kraft really want to do that? 2014 01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:17,760 Speaker 2: Coming in on Schuler's record. You know, would there be 2015 01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:20,640 Speaker 2: an announcement with a final game, would there be a ceremony? 2016 01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:25,360 Speaker 2: Jeff was pretty steadfast that anyway slicing Bill Belichick will 2017 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:27,400 Speaker 2: not be back with the Patriots. In twenty twenty four 2018 01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:30,760 Speaker 2: he nailed that. He's still pretty steadfast things gonna end 2019 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,400 Speaker 2: up with the Giants. And again Brian Dabiles still there. 2020 01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:36,200 Speaker 2: I get that. So let's not write his death warrant yet. 2021 01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:39,519 Speaker 2: But let's say this. Okay, Belichick has history there. He 2022 01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:43,760 Speaker 2: was on Bill. He was on Bill Parcell's side for 2023 01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:46,240 Speaker 2: the only two Super Bowls that Bill Parcells won as 2024 01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:50,519 Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator in eighty seven and ninety one. Excuse me, 2025 01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:56,040 Speaker 2: and look, he likes living in the Northeast. The only 2026 01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:59,360 Speaker 2: question is, you know, he's how much of a rebuild 2027 01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:02,720 Speaker 2: will the Giants? Is Bill Belichick? Again, you're trying to 2028 01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:05,320 Speaker 2: thread that needle where he wants to get with a 2029 01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:09,840 Speaker 2: team that's close to contending. But coaches don't typically fire 2030 01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,360 Speaker 2: or teams, and typically fire coaches that are close to 2031 01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:15,960 Speaker 2: the teams that are close to continuing. So you've got 2032 01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:19,240 Speaker 2: a little bit of a conundrum there. You know, Bill, 2033 01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:22,200 Speaker 2: Bill Parcel has always said you are what your record 2034 01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:25,559 Speaker 2: says you are. Well, sometimes records are lying. And if 2035 01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,479 Speaker 2: you get through Week twelve in the NFL and you're 2036 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:32,360 Speaker 2: really passed the contender pretender zone and you're approaching playoff territory, 2037 01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,000 Speaker 2: you look at a team's record and you say to yourself, 2038 01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:38,000 Speaker 2: do you trust that record? Do you see the record? 2039 01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:41,240 Speaker 2: But you trust that record? Got six teams I've identified. 2040 01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:44,720 Speaker 2: I'll tell you whether you can trust the record or not. 2041 01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:47,519 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie fraddlew or kemedy Lyon from the Las Vegas 2042 01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:50,000 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio tarrac dot com studios. Keep it locked 2043 01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:52,240 Speaker 2: right here. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show, a 2044 01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:55,240 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. All right back in the Bernie Frattle Show, 2045 01:48:55,280 --> 01:48:57,840 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, kemedy Lye from the tarat dot com 2046 01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:02,920 Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. Oh man, we're just fourteen 2047 01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:07,639 Speaker 2: minutes away from the Dance Sensation sweep of the nation. 2048 01:49:08,280 --> 01:49:12,519 Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool you followed by what 2049 01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:16,439 Speaker 2: my name? You know? Bill Parcells off and said, you 2050 01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:21,040 Speaker 2: are what your record says you are. But sometimes you 2051 01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:23,639 Speaker 2: win games you're supposed to win and supposed to lose 2052 01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:28,280 Speaker 2: maybe and you lose games you're supposed to win. So 2053 01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:34,000 Speaker 2: I've taken a look at six teams here that are prominent, 2054 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:37,080 Speaker 2: and you look at their record and you say, can 2055 01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:40,719 Speaker 2: you trust that record? So it involves reading a little 2056 01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:44,800 Speaker 2: tea leaves and a little you know, speculation, But for 2057 01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:48,960 Speaker 2: the most part, the I would say the thought process 2058 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:53,240 Speaker 2: is sound. We start with the Eagles. The records nine 2059 01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:57,040 Speaker 2: to two. Can you trust that record? Yeah, I think 2060 01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:59,840 Speaker 2: they're stable. We just saw them blow out the Rams 2061 01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:04,040 Speaker 2: on the road thirty seven to twenty this past week, 2062 01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:09,479 Speaker 2: and that makes the Eagles even more trustworthy because there 2063 01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:11,439 Speaker 2: are a lot of people who think the Rams are 2064 01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:13,560 Speaker 2: actually pretty good and will find their way into the 2065 01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:16,160 Speaker 2: playoffs again like they did last year on one of them. 2066 01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:18,439 Speaker 2: But when you travel across the country like that in 2067 01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:21,479 Speaker 2: a standalone game and you dominate a Rams team that 2068 01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,960 Speaker 2: still has enough talent to be dangerous, that makes the 2069 01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:29,519 Speaker 2: Eagles very trustworthy. And it's remarkable considering how weird and 2070 01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:34,519 Speaker 2: odd and sketchy the Eagles season started this year. The defense, though, 2071 01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:38,320 Speaker 2: is great, not good, it's great. The offense is good enough, 2072 01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:42,479 Speaker 2: and you add Saquon Barkley, who rush for fifty five 2073 01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:47,840 Speaker 2: Sunday the Eagles play complimentary football. Who's stopping them right now? 2074 01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:52,840 Speaker 2: And I absolutely believe that Saquon Barkley should be the 2075 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:58,439 Speaker 2: MVP conversation because he's had a profound impact on the 2076 01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:02,280 Speaker 2: Eagle success in the field and in their culture. Clearly, 2077 01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:10,439 Speaker 2: clearly the Lions. Their actual record is eleven and one. 2078 01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:14,000 Speaker 2: I think you can still trust that record up to 2079 01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:17,760 Speaker 2: this point. Now, I would say if you can set 2080 01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:22,360 Speaker 2: aside the fact that they escaped against the Bears, but 2081 01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:25,680 Speaker 2: they've been putting fifty burgers up against teams and you 2082 01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:30,320 Speaker 2: know doing it. But I am slightly distracted now by 2083 01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:33,879 Speaker 2: the amount of injuries they've had on defense. It matters, 2084 01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:38,080 Speaker 2: but barring any future major injury, the Lions will be 2085 01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:40,719 Speaker 2: favored in every regular season game going forward and most 2086 01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:42,920 Speaker 2: likely every playoff game all the way to the Super 2087 01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:46,720 Speaker 2: Bowl if the football gods deemed them worthy. Just this 2088 01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:50,200 Speaker 2: last Sunday, they hammered the Colts twenty four to six, 2089 01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:55,000 Speaker 2: and they weren't flashy. But look, it's sometimes at the 2090 01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:56,879 Speaker 2: end of the year, when it comes to winning games, 2091 01:51:57,600 --> 01:52:00,719 Speaker 2: you don't ask Kyle, you just ask how many. Such 2092 01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:03,680 Speaker 2: is the case with the Bears. They almost blew a 2093 01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:06,000 Speaker 2: sixteen point lead. But at the end of the day, 2094 01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:09,040 Speaker 2: they won the game. They did what they needed to do. 2095 01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:13,080 Speaker 2: They don't draw pictures in the scorecard. You can trust 2096 01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:16,200 Speaker 2: the alliance. Thursday night, though, there's gonna be a test. 2097 01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:19,680 Speaker 2: Green Bay's for real Lions are a five point favorite. 2098 01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:22,960 Speaker 2: Green Bay's built their matchup is built to go in 2099 01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:28,639 Speaker 2: and recavoc in Detroit. This will be a primer. If 2100 01:52:28,680 --> 01:52:32,600 Speaker 2: for some reason green Bay prevails on the road and 2101 01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:34,960 Speaker 2: beats the Lions, that's gonna have inserted out. I don't 2102 01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:37,559 Speaker 2: care what anybody says. That doesn't mean the Lions still 2103 01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:40,479 Speaker 2: can't go to the super Bowl, but it will insert 2104 01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:42,960 Speaker 2: it out. Maybe it's slight out, but it will insert 2105 01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:46,840 Speaker 2: out because the truth of the matter is, I like 2106 01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:54,240 Speaker 2: the way the Eagles are trending right now, and it 2107 01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,519 Speaker 2: could be problematic, but let's not create problems that don't 2108 01:52:56,520 --> 01:52:59,240 Speaker 2: exist yet and try to solve them. The Chiefs their 2109 01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:02,519 Speaker 2: actual record eleven and one, Well, the truth of the 2110 01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:06,160 Speaker 2: matter is they're really more like an eight and four team. 2111 01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:08,479 Speaker 2: If you look at the Pythagoream theorem, which has to 2112 01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:11,719 Speaker 2: do with points scored, points, a lowed margin of victory, 2113 01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:16,880 Speaker 2: yards per play. All those things you can. Actually, I 2114 01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:20,639 Speaker 2: think it's a little silly because the Chiefs are back 2115 01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:22,679 Speaker 2: to back defending champions and they may have a little 2116 01:53:22,720 --> 01:53:25,040 Speaker 2: fatigue and they play with their food a little bit, 2117 01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:27,000 Speaker 2: just like they did last year. They were actually lost 2118 01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:29,760 Speaker 2: to the Raiders last year on Christmas Day, but they 2119 01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:31,360 Speaker 2: righted the ship and you saw what they did, and 2120 01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:33,760 Speaker 2: they didn't have home field advantage during the playoffs. They 2121 01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:37,040 Speaker 2: went into Baltimore and yes, the better team won. Back 2122 01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:40,120 Speaker 2: to the old can you be great when the situation 2123 01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:43,640 Speaker 2: demands greatness? Who do you trust more? Andy Reid or 2124 01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:47,240 Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni? Who do you trust more? Patrick Mahomes or 2125 01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:50,439 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. You get the picture, But you can throw 2126 01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:55,240 Speaker 2: some shade if you must. First, the Chiefs were frankly 2127 01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:59,000 Speaker 2: somewhat lucky to beat the Panther Sunday. They emerged victorious 2128 01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:01,720 Speaker 2: on a game winning field will as time expired, and 2129 01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:05,320 Speaker 2: we now know that since they beat the Raiders. The 2130 01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:08,599 Speaker 2: chief beat the Raiders Black Friday. Nine of the chiefs 2131 01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:11,559 Speaker 2: eleven wins have come by a single score. If this 2132 01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:15,439 Speaker 2: wasn't Patrick Mahomes, you know damn well, people would be 2133 01:54:15,439 --> 01:54:18,280 Speaker 2: calling them frauds. That's what people like to do. Some 2134 01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:21,519 Speaker 2: people still are. I'm not doing that, man. This dude 2135 01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:23,639 Speaker 2: has made too many plays in the heat of battle, 2136 01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:25,400 Speaker 2: when the heat gets hot and it's hard to breathe, 2137 01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:31,320 Speaker 2: and he keeps his composure. It's unreal what we're seeing here, 2138 01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:36,600 Speaker 2: and it's very well deserved. But there are whispers. There 2139 01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:39,520 Speaker 2: are whispers. I fifts and butts were candy and nuts. 2140 01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:41,920 Speaker 2: You don't have a merry Christmas. But if some of 2141 01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:45,080 Speaker 2: those ifs and butts, you know, the coin flip didn't 2142 01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:48,160 Speaker 2: fall the Chief's way, they'd be an eight and fourteen. 2143 01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:52,040 Speaker 2: But that didn't happen. There are personal feelings and they 2144 01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:56,040 Speaker 2: are objective truths. The Chiefs have eleven wins. Can you 2145 01:54:56,080 --> 01:55:00,200 Speaker 2: trust the record, that's up to you. The Niners they're 2146 01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:03,760 Speaker 2: five and six. Trusted their preseason NFC favorites are just 2147 01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:06,520 Speaker 2: not that good right now. Losing thirty eight to ten 2148 01:55:06,560 --> 01:55:09,760 Speaker 2: to Green Bay last week. That cements the reality. Even 2149 01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:13,400 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey can't make up for all their flaws. There's 2150 01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:15,640 Speaker 2: a very good chance the Niners don't even make the 2151 01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:20,720 Speaker 2: playoffs now. The Texans they're seven and five. I don't know, though, man, 2152 01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:23,280 Speaker 2: I don't think you could trust that record. In an 2153 01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:25,840 Speaker 2: alternative universe, they'd be five and seven. If they played 2154 01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:29,680 Speaker 2: the decent division, they wouldn't be seven and five, right. 2155 01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:31,480 Speaker 2: They'd lose thirty two to twenty seven to the low 2156 01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:34,640 Speaker 2: League Titans last week, a bad loss. I watched that 2157 01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:37,560 Speaker 2: game in my goodness, Well, Houston looked more abund and 2158 01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:41,520 Speaker 2: that's unusual for them in the Demico Ryan's coach team. Yes, 2159 01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:43,480 Speaker 2: the Texans are going to win the AFC South and 2160 01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:47,560 Speaker 2: make the playoffs, but unless something changes. Remember they were 2161 01:55:47,560 --> 01:55:50,520 Speaker 2: celebrating in the streets last year because they beat Cleveland 2162 01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:52,960 Speaker 2: with rookie C. J. Stroud. I don't know they could 2163 01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:56,560 Speaker 2: be one and done in the playoffs. The Commandos, the Commanders, 2164 01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:59,080 Speaker 2: I don't trust them at all. Their actual record is 2165 01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:02,320 Speaker 2: seven and five. It's six and six at best. It's 2166 01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:06,320 Speaker 2: a sizzling start. It's a sizzling fizzling finished recently for 2167 01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:11,520 Speaker 2: Dan Quinn, King, Cliff Kingsbury and Jade and Daniels. Washington's 2168 01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:15,640 Speaker 2: collapse must be emphasized. Daniels has regressed, the offense is 2169 01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:18,760 Speaker 2: gone stale. The Commanders shouldn't have been close to winning 2170 01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:23,000 Speaker 2: some of those games. The Cooper Rush led Cowboys. Somehow 2171 01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:26,000 Speaker 2: they upset them, and then the following things happen. Three 2172 01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:29,880 Speaker 2: minutes left, Cavanti Terpin Muff's a kickoff return. All of 2173 01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:31,400 Speaker 2: a sudden he gets in ninety nine yards for a 2174 01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:34,920 Speaker 2: tv TD. Austin Sebert makes a fifty one yard field goal. 2175 01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:37,880 Speaker 2: Jane Daniels, it's Terry McLaurin for an accredible eighty six 2176 01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:42,839 Speaker 2: yard touchdown. Juwan Thomasin returns an onside kick. Nothing but chaos. 2177 01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:47,480 Speaker 2: I don't trust the commanders. I do not trust the commanders. 2178 01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:49,880 Speaker 2: And as I said, people think on nuts. I think 2179 01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:53,480 Speaker 2: bow Knicks deserves the Rookie of the Year. Coming up? What 2180 01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:55,520 Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool you?

Yep, you know you 2190 01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:31,280 Speaker 2: love it. You can't live without it, and uh, well, 2191 01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:34,480 Speaker 2: you know, let's put it this way. We observe a 2192 01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:36,400 Speaker 2: lot on the show. As Yogi Berrier once said, you 2193 01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:39,280 Speaker 2: can observe a lot by watching, and we do that. See, 2194 01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:41,720 Speaker 2: because around the world, around this great country of ours, 2195 01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:44,360 Speaker 2: from seed to oily seed, and certainly even around the planet, 2196 01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:48,960 Speaker 2: people daily engage in activities. Sometimes those activities are very 2197 01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:54,280 Speaker 2: very questionable odd behavior. Sometimes it's just anocuous, stupid, silly 2198 01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:57,240 Speaker 2: other times far more serious, you run foul the law. 2199 01:57:57,320 --> 01:58:01,280 Speaker 2: And other times additionally, they may even land you in jail. 2200 01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:04,160 Speaker 2: But any way you slice it, anyway, you describe it, 2201 01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:10,000 Speaker 2: anyway you characterize that, these behaviors always leave us scratching 2202 01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:13,000 Speaker 2: our heads and asking ourselves, what kind of brand new 2203 01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:17,640 Speaker 2: fool are you? Well, I do believe this is a first, 2204 01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:21,560 Speaker 2: and it's a little short but sweet goofy one. It's 2205 01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:25,560 Speaker 2: a first in the sense that we take you to 2206 01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:30,760 Speaker 2: Central Israel. I do not believe we've ever had a 2207 01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:34,560 Speaker 2: brand new fool story that comes to us from Central Israel. 2208 01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:38,800 Speaker 2: But you know what, when you record yourself doing stupid stuff, 2209 01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,920 Speaker 2: and post it on the internet. A lot of times 2210 01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:48,280 Speaker 2: that doesn't end up well. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. 2211 01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:51,040 Speaker 2: Where am I going with this? We've all allowed a 2212 01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:54,160 Speaker 2: buddy to drive our car, borrow our car, maybe your 2213 01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:56,640 Speaker 2: best friend, maybe man's best friend. Who knows. But a 2214 01:58:56,680 --> 01:58:58,880 Speaker 2: thirty five year old man from a village in central 2215 01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:03,960 Speaker 2: Israel was arrested this past week. And here's what he did. Well, 2216 01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:05,760 Speaker 2: they let one of his buddies driver's car. But he 2217 01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:08,640 Speaker 2: was really kind kind of jiggy about how funny and 2218 01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:11,680 Speaker 2: cool this was. So what he did was he videoed 2219 01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:15,440 Speaker 2: his best buddy drive in his car. And you can 2220 01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:19,000 Speaker 2: see a vehicle moving down the streets of Israel with 2221 01:59:20,200 --> 01:59:24,720 Speaker 2: an unusual looking individual driving the car, and it looks 2222 01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:28,120 Speaker 2: so unusual to police. They happened to notice it on 2223 01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:33,080 Speaker 2: video in the internet, and so the Jerusalem District Police 2224 01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:38,480 Speaker 2: took to the streets searched for the car, and they 2225 01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:43,400 Speaker 2: finally found the car and identified the driver. And what's 2226 01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:51,120 Speaker 2: interesting is the driver was a dog. Yes, this thirty 2227 01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:53,560 Speaker 2: five year old man from a village in central Israel 2228 01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:58,320 Speaker 2: was arrested for letting his dog drive the car. And 2229 01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:01,600 Speaker 2: what's interesting is on the video you can observe it, 2230 02:00:01,640 --> 02:00:05,120 Speaker 2: and frankly, he's got the dog on his lap, but 2231 02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:07,360 Speaker 2: the dog's got the paws on the steering wheel. At 2232 02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,920 Speaker 2: ten o'clock and two o'clock. The cops didn't think that 2233 02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:13,480 Speaker 2: was so funny, so they identify him, they arrest him, 2234 02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:15,440 Speaker 2: and they hit him for a fine for driving a 2235 02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:21,240 Speaker 2: car and endangering other drivers. I don't know. It's some 2236 02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:25,640 Speaker 2: sort of a you know law there in Israel. But 2237 02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:29,400 Speaker 2: upon inspection, the car did not pass the required road test, 2238 02:00:29,960 --> 02:00:33,440 Speaker 2: so he's facing charges for that at all. The good 2239 02:00:33,520 --> 02:00:36,320 Speaker 2: news is no word on whether or not the dog 2240 02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:40,040 Speaker 2: will face any charges, No word if the dog will 2241 02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:43,360 Speaker 2: be in trouble for driving without a license. But man 2242 02:00:43,400 --> 02:00:46,560 Speaker 2: from Central Israel, I believe his name was David, I 2243 02:00:46,560 --> 02:00:51,120 Speaker 2: don't know, allows his dog drive his car, gets hit 2244 02:00:51,160 --> 02:00:53,720 Speaker 2: with a couple of charges, posts it on the internet 2245 02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:56,720 Speaker 2: to brag, ends up looking stupid and well you can 2246 02:00:56,720 --> 02:00:58,400 Speaker 2: see where that goes from there. It doesn't end up 2247 02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:02,040 Speaker 2: well for him, David for Central Israel? What can of 2248 02:01:02,120 --> 02:01:07,040 Speaker 2: brand new food? Are you all right? Mister? Sha shay 2249 02:01:07,080 --> 02:01:08,960 Speaker 2: club sha shaye? What have we got, Bernie? 2250 02:01:08,960 --> 02:01:11,000 Speaker 11: We don't have rules here, so I'm just gonna tell 2251 02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,480 Speaker 11: you a quick story before I go into my what 2252 02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:15,880 Speaker 11: kind of fool? So I saw this story and I 2253 02:01:15,920 --> 02:01:17,120 Speaker 11: was like, I have to bring this on the air 2254 02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:18,040 Speaker 11: because this is one of the. 2255 02:01:17,920 --> 02:01:19,400 Speaker 7: Most absurd things I've ever heard. 2256 02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:23,440 Speaker 11: So there's a shopping center in Canada, in Montreal, Canada 2257 02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:26,880 Speaker 11: right now that it has a homeless problem, and it's stairwells. 2258 02:01:26,960 --> 02:01:29,520 Speaker 11: A lot of homeless people are sheltering.

I'm the first NBA player in history 2429 02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:11,400 Speaker 2: to achieve two hundred triple doubles in my career, Mark Ramsey, 2430 02:11:11,400 --> 02:11:12,120 Speaker 2: what my name. 2431 02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:14,520 Speaker 7: Is it? Lebron? 2432 02:11:15,280 --> 02:11:18,960 Speaker 2: Not Lebron? The first player in NBA history to achieve 2433 02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:21,600 Speaker 2: two hundred triple doubles in my career. I'll give you 2434 02:11:21,640 --> 02:11:23,880 Speaker 2: a clue. He just got a fine for ancen gesture. 2435 02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:24,760 Speaker 2: The other day. Who is it? 2436 02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:28,120 Speaker 11: This is like the triple double god. Basically it's Russell. 2437 02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:30,520 Speaker 11: I mean, it's the demand. I remember watching that game 2438 02:11:30,560 --> 02:11:31,240 Speaker 11: when he was on. 2439 02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:33,080 Speaker 7: Russell Westbrook you got it. 2440 02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:35,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, I remember watching his game when he got the 2441 02:11:35,600 --> 02:11:38,440 Speaker 11: record like for the most triple doubles in. 2442 02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:41,360 Speaker 7: A year, and that was a crazy game. That was insane. 2443 02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:41,720 Speaker 7: I remember. 2444 02:11:41,720 --> 02:11:43,000 Speaker 11: I think that was like three years ago, right, four 2445 02:11:43,040 --> 02:11:45,760 Speaker 11: years ago maybe yeah, maybe more than that actually five 2446 02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:48,200 Speaker 11: six years ago, and that was an insane game. I 2447 02:11:48,240 --> 02:11:50,680 Speaker 11: remember that was like the last year or too. Russell 2448 02:11:50,680 --> 02:11:53,480 Speaker 11: Westbrook was Russell Westbrook, I feel like, and after that, 2449 02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:56,320 Speaker 11: it just kind of I don't know what's going on. 2450 02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:58,120 Speaker 7: Man, It's an upsetting career for him. 2451 02:11:58,520 --> 02:12:02,560 Speaker 2: He's put up wonderful numbers. He's a world class athlete. 2452 02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:07,160 Speaker 2: But something's missing there. Man. A couple of sandwich is 2453 02:12:07,240 --> 02:12:09,600 Speaker 2: sort of a picnic. I never never really won. 2454 02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:10,800 Speaker 7: You said it best. 2455 02:12:10,960 --> 02:12:13,360 Speaker 11: Something is missing there and like no one can really 2456 02:12:13,400 --> 02:12:16,880 Speaker 11: put their finger on it. Yeah, it's true, it's that something. 2457 02:12:16,920 --> 02:12:18,640 Speaker 11: And I hope he gets one with Denver. We'll see 2458 02:12:18,680 --> 02:12:19,600 Speaker 11: what happens. 2459 02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:23,360 Speaker 2: He almost said a bad word. He's like he's like a. 2460 02:12:23,400 --> 02:12:26,560 Speaker 7: Jinx man, seriously, and like you put it, there's. 2461 02:12:26,400 --> 02:12:28,480 Speaker 2: Something about the dude. It's just bad juju. 2462 02:12:28,560 --> 02:12:29,960 Speaker 11: When he was on the I'm a Laker fan, so 2463 02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:31,720 Speaker 11: when he was on the Lakers, it was just such 2464 02:12:31,720 --> 02:12:34,120 Speaker 11: an upsetting thing. And I was like, oh, like we 2465 02:12:34,160 --> 02:12:36,000 Speaker 11: got Russell Westbrook, like this is gonna be a great 2466 02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:36,720 Speaker 11: complimentary to. 2467 02:12:36,680 --> 02:12:39,360 Speaker 7: A d like blah blah blah blah blah. But literally two. 2468 02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:40,960 Speaker 11: Games then I'm like, why was I lying to myself? 2469 02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:44,560 Speaker 11: Like I knew what was gonna happen. It's just you're 2470 02:12:44,600 --> 02:12:45,760 Speaker 11: really right about that, Bernie. 2471 02:12:45,880 --> 02:12:49,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. It's pick your poison. You just don't 2472 02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:52,280 Speaker 2: know what it is, but it's it's it's Rosanna, Rosanna. 2473 02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:59,120 Speaker 2: Dana would say, it's always something, all right, last one? So, Eli, 2474 02:13:00,720 --> 02:13:03,200 Speaker 2: he has won two Super Bowls. I absolutely think he's 2475 02:13:03,240 --> 02:13:06,000 Speaker 2: part of the semi finalist for the NFL Hall of 2476 02:13:06,040 --> 02:13:09,000 Speaker 2: Fame Colacs twenty twenty five. I believe he deserves it. 2477 02:13:09,680 --> 02:13:13,520 Speaker 2: But Eli Manning is not the only quarterback in the 2478 02:13:13,560 --> 02:13:16,000 Speaker 2: history of the National Football League to have two Super 2479 02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:19,560 Speaker 2: Bowls and not be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 2480 02:13:19,800 --> 02:13:23,240 Speaker 2: I'm the other one. Mark Ramsey, what in my name? 2481 02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:27,520 Speaker 2: Give you a clue? He did it with the Raiders, 2482 02:13:29,080 --> 02:13:32,440 Speaker 2: Daryl Plunkett. Kick you good enough for me, Jim Plunkett. 2483 02:13:32,520 --> 02:13:37,240 Speaker 2: Jim Plunkett, I know that's what you meant, Jim Plunkett. 2484 02:13:39,520 --> 02:13:40,800 Speaker 2: What the hell should we do? One more? 2485 02:13:40,960 --> 02:13:42,640 Speaker 7: I think we should Burnie one more? 2486 02:13:42,800 --> 02:13:46,120 Speaker 2: There we go, all right, one more for posterity. All right, 2487 02:13:46,200 --> 02:13:48,760 Speaker 2: let's talk about the Baseball Hall of Fame. To this day, 2488 02:13:48,840 --> 02:13:51,480 Speaker 2: I'm still the only player in Major League Baseball history 2489 02:13:51,880 --> 02:13:58,000 Speaker 2: to be voted in unanimously. Sha mogngar, what my. 2490 02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:01,400 Speaker 7: Name to be voted in? He's only one player has been. 2491 02:14:01,320 --> 02:14:03,760 Speaker 2: Voted in to be voted unanimously. 2492 02:14:04,760 --> 02:14:06,920 Speaker 11: This is annoying me because I'm so good at baseball 2493 02:14:06,960 --> 02:14:08,240 Speaker 11: trivia and I don't know this one. 2494 02:14:08,320 --> 02:14:11,720 Speaker 2: He shares the same last name with a guy named Haraldo. 2495 02:14:12,880 --> 02:14:19,640 Speaker 11: Rivera first name Mariano. Right, oh my god, he got 2496 02:14:19,640 --> 02:14:22,040 Speaker 11: it five. 2497 02:14:22,520 --> 02:14:25,400 Speaker 2: Yeah he was unanimous. Wow. Now I don't know. I 2498 02:14:25,720 --> 02:14:28,360 Speaker 2: don't know who the knucklehead who didn't vote for Derek 2499 02:14:28,440 --> 02:14:30,160 Speaker 2: Jeter because it's first ballot, right? 2500 02:14:30,320 --> 02:14:32,480 Speaker 7: Yeah? Wait, come on, man, that's what I was. 2501 02:14:32,520 --> 02:14:32,720 Speaker 4: I was. 2502 02:14:32,920 --> 02:14:34,800 Speaker 2: I think the guy's name was Mickey the Dunce. I 2503 02:14:34,800 --> 02:14:36,720 Speaker 2: don't think he's ever come forward. Maybe he has and 2504 02:14:36,720 --> 02:14:38,240 Speaker 2: maybe I didn't notice it, but. 2505 02:14:38,480 --> 02:14:40,640 Speaker 7: My god, Mariano Rivera was great. 2506 02:14:40,880 --> 02:14:45,400 Speaker 2: Oh he was forgetting. He was unhittable. 2507 02:14:45,520 --> 02:14:45,920 Speaker 7: Mm hmm. 2508 02:14:46,280 --> 02:14:48,720 Speaker 2: He you know, a cutter is half a slider. He 2509 02:14:48,720 --> 02:14:51,480 Speaker 2: can start the cutter in the middle of the plate 2510 02:14:51,560 --> 02:14:53,960 Speaker 2: on a left hander and running inside and still be 2511 02:14:54,040 --> 02:14:55,760 Speaker 2: in the strike zone. Unhittable he was. 2512 02:14:56,360 --> 02:15:00,480 Speaker 11: He was throwing straight heat too, would test the oh everything. 2513 02:15:00,480 --> 02:15:03,880 Speaker 2: And the thing is the media loved them and that 2514 02:15:03,880 --> 02:15:06,560 Speaker 2: that helped a lot. That helped a lot. So all right, 2515 02:15:06,640 --> 02:15:09,680 Speaker 2: that guys, great job. I'll standing give yourself a round 2516 02:15:09,680 --> 02:15:13,600 Speaker 2: of repause.

Coming up, I told you I have some 2528 02:15:49,760 --> 02:15:54,040 Speaker 2: concern about the Lions. How can the Packers catch the Lions? 2529 02:15:55,040 --> 02:15:58,920 Speaker 2: Pray tell in the NFC North Race. I'll tell you 2530 02:15:58,920 --> 02:16:00,920 Speaker 2: how they can do it, because they could happened and 2531 02:16:00,960 --> 02:16:03,320 Speaker 2: it starts Thursday night. I'm Bernie Fraddle. Where come to 2532 02:16:03,320 --> 02:16:05,560 Speaker 2: your line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarrack 2533 02:16:05,600 --> 02:16:08,400 Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Keep it locked you listen to the 2534 02:16:08,400 --> 02:16:10,920 Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back 2535 02:16:10,920 --> 02:16:13,200 Speaker 2: at the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Come to 2536 02:16:13,240 --> 02:16:15,240 Speaker 2: the line from the Tarract dot Com studios here in 2537 02:16:15,320 --> 02:16:20,720 Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Could it be possible the Green Bay Packers 2538 02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:23,640 Speaker 2: could actually catch the Detroit Lions and the NFC North Race. 2539 02:16:24,360 --> 02:16:27,320 Speaker 2: It's ironic because I told you that earlier in the show. 2540 02:16:27,360 --> 02:16:31,160 Speaker 2: I think Philadelphia presents the biggest challenge to the Lions. 2541 02:16:31,160 --> 02:16:33,160 Speaker 2: And why is that ironic? Because they started out last 2542 02:16:33,200 --> 02:16:37,240 Speaker 2: year at the house and fire, remember collapse late made 2543 02:16:37,280 --> 02:16:40,200 Speaker 2: it to the playoffs, but they were they had their 2544 02:16:40,240 --> 02:16:43,440 Speaker 2: come up. But now I'm not predicting that for the Lions. However, 2545 02:16:45,040 --> 02:16:47,480 Speaker 2: these injuries are stacking up and the reason the Bears 2546 02:16:47,520 --> 02:16:50,280 Speaker 2: moved the ball so well on the second half Thursday, 2547 02:16:50,400 --> 02:16:54,680 Speaker 2: the pass rush wasn't getting home. So are the Lions 2548 02:16:54,760 --> 02:16:57,120 Speaker 2: vulnerable against the top flight teams when they get on 2549 02:16:57,120 --> 02:16:59,320 Speaker 2: the field with the Vikings and the Packers and the 2550 02:16:59,360 --> 02:17:01,400 Speaker 2: Buffalo bit the Niners, which are going to be the 2551 02:17:01,480 --> 02:17:04,280 Speaker 2: next few weeks starting Thursday night. Green Bay is a 2552 02:17:04,280 --> 02:17:06,119 Speaker 2: team I got my eye on now. They're two full 2553 02:17:06,120 --> 02:17:08,039 Speaker 2: games behind the Lions or nine to three. The Lions 2554 02:17:08,040 --> 02:17:11,320 Speaker 2: are eleven to one, and green Bay lost their first 2555 02:17:11,360 --> 02:17:14,800 Speaker 2: meetings with both the Lines and the Vikings. But Maglafleur's 2556 02:17:14,800 --> 02:17:16,920 Speaker 2: team's gonna have a chance to avenge both of those 2557 02:17:16,959 --> 02:17:19,480 Speaker 2: losses in coming weeks. They start Thursday night in Detroit. 2558 02:17:20,080 --> 02:17:22,840 Speaker 2: From there, the pack travel to Seattle. Got a home 2559 02:17:22,920 --> 02:17:25,280 Speaker 2: date with New Orleans, another trip to Minnesota, and a 2560 02:17:25,400 --> 02:17:28,119 Speaker 2: home date with the Bear cycles out the regular season. Now, 2561 02:17:28,120 --> 02:17:30,960 Speaker 2: I don't think New Orleans or Chicago is going to 2562 02:17:31,000 --> 02:17:34,240 Speaker 2: threaten green Bay. That means, even if green Bay loses 2563 02:17:34,280 --> 02:17:36,840 Speaker 2: in Seattle, the NFC North Race could likely come down 2564 02:17:37,800 --> 02:17:40,680 Speaker 2: to green Bay winning their two remaining games. Remember the 2565 02:17:40,720 --> 02:17:44,200 Speaker 2: Lions finish up against Minnesota. They started got Buffalo, they 2566 02:17:44,280 --> 02:17:46,400 Speaker 2: got the forty nine Ers, they got the Bears, again 2567 02:17:46,520 --> 02:17:49,600 Speaker 2: in Chicago. So it's hard to imagine a path to 2568 02:17:49,680 --> 02:17:52,040 Speaker 2: the crown if the Packers even lose one of those games, 2569 02:17:52,680 --> 02:17:54,959 Speaker 2: given the fact the team has, they have ground to 2570 02:17:54,959 --> 02:17:58,640 Speaker 2: make up, and they have tiebreaker implications that are involved. 2571 02:17:59,160 --> 02:18:02,520 Speaker 2: But the lines are wobbly right now. The injuries have 2572 02:18:02,600 --> 02:18:05,160 Speaker 2: decimated their defense, The Vikings can't get out of third 2573 02:18:05,200 --> 02:18:09,160 Speaker 2: year on offense, Sam Donold's regressed a lot, and if 2574 02:18:09,200 --> 02:18:12,879 Speaker 2: the Packers finished four and one down the stretch, while 2575 02:18:13,040 --> 02:18:15,880 Speaker 2: they'd be thirteen and four, they could very well be 2576 02:18:15,920 --> 02:18:17,760 Speaker 2: good enough to get the job done. Detroit would have 2577 02:18:17,840 --> 02:18:21,160 Speaker 2: to just lose one more game. With the Buffalo Bills, 2578 02:18:21,200 --> 02:18:24,000 Speaker 2: the Niners and the Vikings on tap, and the Vikings 2579 02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:27,440 Speaker 2: have the Cardinals, Falcons, Seahawks and Lions tricky schedules, it's 2580 02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:30,920 Speaker 2: not hard to imagine Detroit losing to Buffalo, Minnesota and 2581 02:18:31,040 --> 02:18:34,440 Speaker 2: green Bay. Am I predicting it, no, but you saw 2582 02:18:34,440 --> 02:18:37,520 Speaker 2: it happened to Philadelphia last year. If that were to happen, 2583 02:18:38,240 --> 02:18:41,000 Speaker 2: that opens the door for green Bay to be thirteen 2584 02:18:41,080 --> 02:18:44,400 Speaker 2: and four and smag the division and the divisional record 2585 02:18:44,400 --> 02:18:47,280 Speaker 2: would be used as a second tiebreaker, and green Bay 2586 02:18:47,320 --> 02:18:49,279 Speaker 2: has some ground to make up. But if the Packers 2587 02:18:49,320 --> 02:18:51,760 Speaker 2: went on Thursday and get some help from the Vikings, 2588 02:18:52,520 --> 02:18:58,480 Speaker 2: it could happen. It's one of those cases where I 2589 02:18:58,480 --> 02:19:00,560 Speaker 2: I hope I just didn't put that out of the universe. 2590 02:19:00,680 --> 02:19:02,320 Speaker 2: You know my love for Detroit the years I cover 2591 02:19:02,400 --> 02:19:06,240 Speaker 2: the team, but just saying, all right, we don't just 2592 02:19:06,320 --> 02:19:11,440 Speaker 2: cover football American football. We cover fut b L also 2593 02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:13,680 Speaker 2: known as soccer on the world stage. Yep, it's time 2594 02:19:14,240 --> 02:19:15,840 Speaker 2: for Chris Burfett's World of Soccer. 2595 02:19:17,200 --> 02:19:29,880 Speaker 12: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum, I 2596 02:19:31,200 --> 02:19:35,440 Speaker 12: give it. It's all here in this report from the 2597 02:19:35,480 --> 02:19:36,520 Speaker 12: World of Soccer. 2598 02:19:37,280 --> 02:19:39,400 Speaker 6: Interesting stuff around the world of soccer, Bern We have 2599 02:19:39,440 --> 02:19:45,000 Speaker 6: some surprising MLS Cup semi finals here no laf scene 2600 02:19:45,120 --> 02:19:49,120 Speaker 6: getting knocked out in an earlier round, setting up for 2601 02:19:49,240 --> 02:19:53,680 Speaker 6: some quite a few interesting storylines as the as it goes, 2602 02:19:53,720 --> 02:19:56,920 Speaker 6: we'll talk about the finals that will be upcoming on 2603 02:19:56,959 --> 02:19:59,000 Speaker 6: the next one, because lord knows, there's a lot of 2604 02:19:59,040 --> 02:20:01,640 Speaker 6: time between each round of the MLS Cup. They really 2605 02:20:01,640 --> 02:20:05,560 Speaker 6: have to wean this out. However, one thing that struck 2606 02:20:05,600 --> 02:20:08,119 Speaker 6: me and I was thinking about this as we were 2607 02:20:09,000 --> 02:20:11,879 Speaker 6: sitting after one of our last World of Soccers is 2608 02:20:11,920 --> 02:20:14,480 Speaker 6: I mentioned a new Champions League format, and it struck me. 2609 02:20:14,680 --> 02:20:18,360 Speaker 6: We had never really talked about the new Champions League format, 2610 02:20:18,360 --> 02:20:19,800 Speaker 6: and it gives me a chance to talk about that 2611 02:20:20,200 --> 02:20:22,840 Speaker 6: and what's been going on in the Champions League, the 2612 02:20:23,040 --> 02:20:27,039 Speaker 6: greatest league in the world, where we literally take the 2613 02:20:27,080 --> 02:20:32,160 Speaker 6: best of every league across Europe and bring them in 2614 02:20:32,680 --> 02:20:35,720 Speaker 6: to crown one of them to be the Champions of Europe, 2615 02:20:35,720 --> 02:20:40,080 Speaker 6: the Kings of Europe. And it's been a fairly interesting 2616 02:20:40,200 --> 02:20:43,360 Speaker 6: run across the board the last years of Champions League, 2617 02:20:43,400 --> 02:20:47,440 Speaker 6: but they have been looking to expand indeed they have so. 2618 02:20:47,600 --> 02:20:50,880 Speaker 6: Once we used to have thirty two teams a divide 2619 02:20:50,920 --> 02:20:54,240 Speaker 6: into eight groups of four, but no longer. This year 2620 02:20:54,280 --> 02:20:57,640 Speaker 6: it is thirty six clubs and we have eight match 2621 02:20:57,720 --> 02:21:01,000 Speaker 6: days of peace there and rather than having a bunch 2622 02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:03,960 Speaker 6: of groups out there, we now have just basically a 2623 02:21:04,080 --> 02:21:08,120 Speaker 6: cut line. So basically your Champions League standings now look 2624 02:21:08,160 --> 02:21:11,920 Speaker 6: look a lot closer to standings like say the NBA 2625 02:21:12,160 --> 02:21:15,360 Speaker 6: or Major League Baseball, although no divisions, all in one 2626 02:21:15,520 --> 02:21:18,720 Speaker 6: big pool ranked one through thirty six depending on their 2627 02:21:18,760 --> 02:21:21,520 Speaker 6: wins and losses, and a lot less like say the 2628 02:21:21,560 --> 02:21:25,480 Speaker 6: World Cup, where you have the zippy quick group stage 2629 02:21:25,560 --> 02:21:28,240 Speaker 6: where everyone plays each other and then we get the 2630 02:21:28,280 --> 02:21:31,800 Speaker 6: knockout rounds. After that, what happens instead is the top 2631 02:21:31,920 --> 02:21:37,280 Speaker 6: eight get a automatic qualification to the knockout round. Wow, 2632 02:21:37,400 --> 02:21:41,640 Speaker 6: there is a quick playoffs that happen between nine through 2633 02:21:41,720 --> 02:21:46,080 Speaker 6: twenty four. So we suddenly have knockout rounds and playoff 2634 02:21:46,160 --> 02:21:52,480 Speaker 6: rounds involving all but the bottom third of the Champions League. 2635 02:21:52,520 --> 02:21:55,560 Speaker 6: It is suddenly a lot more interesting, a lot more 2636 02:21:55,600 --> 02:21:59,720 Speaker 6: teams involved, and a lot interesting chants where teams that 2637 02:21:59,720 --> 02:22:02,720 Speaker 6: have just taken a few blows in Champions League to 2638 02:22:02,720 --> 02:22:05,480 Speaker 6: get back into it. For instance, we've been talking about 2639 02:22:05,560 --> 02:22:09,680 Speaker 6: Real Madrid having a pretty terrible season so far by 2640 02:22:09,720 --> 02:22:13,320 Speaker 6: their standards. Real Madrid only has six points and since 2641 02:22:13,360 --> 02:22:16,360 Speaker 6: twenty fourth after this week of Champions League play, but 2642 02:22:16,440 --> 02:22:20,080 Speaker 6: they would be the last club into the playoff stage. 2643 02:22:20,560 --> 02:22:24,680 Speaker 6: That can be either good or bad. Really, it's fascinating 2644 02:22:24,680 --> 02:22:27,440 Speaker 6: because it maybe opens up the chance for more upsets 2645 02:22:27,440 --> 02:22:30,320 Speaker 6: to happen with smaller clubs like say Celtic or fay 2646 02:22:30,440 --> 02:22:32,760 Speaker 6: and Ord who have kicked around a lot, but usually 2647 02:22:32,800 --> 02:22:34,920 Speaker 6: just because the math of some of the clubs that 2648 02:22:34,959 --> 02:22:37,720 Speaker 6: they usually get paired into that they just you know, 2649 02:22:37,879 --> 02:22:40,120 Speaker 6: are usually shut out. It also means kind of the 2650 02:22:40,280 --> 02:22:43,600 Speaker 6: end to this idea of a group of death that 2651 02:22:43,640 --> 02:22:45,800 Speaker 6: we kind of see in the World Cup and previous 2652 02:22:45,920 --> 02:22:49,320 Speaker 6: editions of the Champions League. Because you're playing more opponents 2653 02:22:49,600 --> 02:22:53,560 Speaker 6: in a wider format. It definitely does not mean that 2654 02:22:53,680 --> 02:22:56,199 Speaker 6: you are a small club suddenly stuck in there having 2655 02:22:56,200 --> 02:23:00,560 Speaker 6: to play Milan and say Arsenal together and being like, 2656 02:23:00,600 --> 02:23:01,720 Speaker 6: oh God, how do we get. 2657 02:23:01,600 --> 02:23:02,000 Speaker 2: Out of this? 2658 02:23:02,680 --> 02:23:04,959 Speaker 6: And while we were leading up to Thanksgiving, it was 2659 02:23:05,120 --> 02:23:09,160 Speaker 6: match day five of eight for the Champions League with 2660 02:23:09,200 --> 02:23:11,920 Speaker 6: some interesting results. As I mentioned, Real Madrid way down 2661 02:23:11,920 --> 02:23:15,440 Speaker 6: at the bottom as their season, their disappointing season continues, 2662 02:23:15,920 --> 02:23:20,040 Speaker 6: especially in Europe with Liverpool, which we've talked about a lot. 2663 02:23:20,080 --> 02:23:22,800 Speaker 6: That is your Premier League leading Liverpool, who have a 2664 02:23:22,879 --> 02:23:25,960 Speaker 6: chance to play Manchester City, who comes into the weekend 2665 02:23:26,040 --> 02:23:29,480 Speaker 6: tied for third in the Premier League, not second, third 2666 02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:34,240 Speaker 6: now kind of a moderate third, distant back behind Liverpool 2667 02:23:34,640 --> 02:23:38,039 Speaker 6: who has still only suffered a single loss heading into 2668 02:23:38,040 --> 02:23:42,600 Speaker 6: this weekend's matchup against the men from Manchester. That same 2669 02:23:42,680 --> 02:23:46,560 Speaker 6: man City had a hillacious draw three to three against 2670 02:23:46,560 --> 02:23:49,680 Speaker 6: Feyanord that has once again kind of put them in 2671 02:23:49,760 --> 02:23:52,360 Speaker 6: no man's land in the new format they now sit. 2672 02:23:52,879 --> 02:23:53,879 Speaker 1: Let me just check my fing. 2673 02:23:53,920 --> 02:23:56,800 Speaker 6: You're seventeenth with no real hope to really make it 2674 02:23:56,840 --> 02:24:02,240 Speaker 6: into that instant audit qualification. No, that will go to Liverpool, 2675 02:24:02,560 --> 02:24:05,520 Speaker 6: that will go probably to Inter Milan, who have shown 2676 02:24:05,520 --> 02:24:08,720 Speaker 6: themselves to be extremely competitive in the Champions format, and 2677 02:24:08,760 --> 02:24:12,879 Speaker 6: it will go probably to Barcelona, who is pretty much 2678 02:24:12,879 --> 02:24:15,320 Speaker 6: the cream of the crop this year from Spain. Of course, 2679 02:24:15,320 --> 02:24:17,640 Speaker 6: we still have three more matchdays to go in the 2680 02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:20,640 Speaker 6: Champions League. Anything could really happen, and there's not enough 2681 02:24:20,680 --> 02:24:22,200 Speaker 6: points that really separate things. 2682 02:24:22,240 --> 02:24:24,879 Speaker 1: But it would take some hilacious losses to really. 2683 02:24:24,879 --> 02:24:27,600 Speaker 6: Knock the top three down all the way out of 2684 02:24:27,640 --> 02:24:30,360 Speaker 6: the consideration. And I don't think anyone's touching Liverpool at 2685 02:24:30,400 --> 02:24:33,360 Speaker 6: this point for that one seed, unless Inter really makes 2686 02:24:33,400 --> 02:24:37,520 Speaker 6: a big push in Liverpool stumbles and offers some help 2687 02:24:37,879 --> 02:24:40,880 Speaker 6: to the men in San Zero. We keep eagerly awaiting 2688 02:24:40,920 --> 02:24:44,119 Speaker 6: that as we await the MLS Cup playoff final announcement. 2689 02:24:44,360 --> 02:24:47,560 Speaker 6: But hey, we mentioned Liverpool a little earlier, and good 2690 02:24:47,560 --> 02:24:50,840 Speaker 6: news for them. One of the biggest challenges facing Liverpool 2691 02:24:50,879 --> 02:24:53,960 Speaker 6: this year, besides just saying farewell to Jurgen Klop, we 2692 02:24:54,040 --> 02:24:59,400 Speaker 6: found very quick quickly that Arnslaught is a wonderful managing 2693 02:24:59,480 --> 02:25:02,040 Speaker 6: this squad right now, but also that they had a 2694 02:25:02,080 --> 02:25:05,440 Speaker 6: lot of guys on expiring contracts and unfortunately I don't 2695 02:25:05,480 --> 02:25:08,080 Speaker 6: think that the rest of Europe is going to feast 2696 02:25:08,160 --> 02:25:10,680 Speaker 6: upon the riches of Liverpool. And all you need to 2697 02:25:10,720 --> 02:25:13,840 Speaker 6: look at that is to their top man, Mohammed Salah. Now, 2698 02:25:13,879 --> 02:25:17,600 Speaker 6: Salah is not a homegrown talent for Liverpool. He actually 2699 02:25:18,480 --> 02:25:20,879 Speaker 6: spent a few years. Of course, he grew up in Egypt, 2700 02:25:21,120 --> 02:25:24,000 Speaker 6: played for plenty of clubs, got picked up by Chelsea 2701 02:25:24,080 --> 02:25:27,200 Speaker 6: in twenty fourteen, went around in a few loans and 2702 02:25:27,320 --> 02:25:30,039 Speaker 6: really made a name for himself playing for two very 2703 02:25:30,120 --> 02:25:34,280 Speaker 6: good years in Italy's Roma club. But it is at 2704 02:25:34,360 --> 02:25:36,959 Speaker 6: Liverpool where he has become a sensation, one of the 2705 02:25:36,959 --> 02:25:39,120 Speaker 6: best players in the world at one of the best 2706 02:25:39,200 --> 02:25:42,560 Speaker 6: Egyptian strikers of all time, and it looks. 2707 02:25:42,440 --> 02:25:44,920 Speaker 7: To be he will be remaining in Liverpool. 2708 02:25:44,959 --> 02:25:48,640 Speaker 6: There is talks that his camp wants a contract extension 2709 02:25:48,640 --> 02:25:51,000 Speaker 6: with Liverpool. It remains be seen if Liverpool will have 2710 02:25:51,000 --> 02:25:53,480 Speaker 6: the money for it. They don't exactly have the deep, 2711 02:25:53,760 --> 02:25:57,520 Speaker 6: possibly illegal pockets of someone like Manchester City, but they 2712 02:25:57,520 --> 02:26:00,200 Speaker 6: are a club that usually I like to say, will 2713 02:26:00,240 --> 02:26:03,119 Speaker 6: do good right business and Mohammed Sala. If you're gonna 2714 02:26:03,120 --> 02:26:06,040 Speaker 6: pay one guy out of anyone right now, you probably 2715 02:26:06,080 --> 02:26:08,920 Speaker 6: pay the thirty two year old Egyptian who has just 2716 02:26:09,080 --> 02:26:13,600 Speaker 6: been a scoring terror on any opponent that dares stand 2717 02:26:13,640 --> 02:26:16,840 Speaker 6: against him. And as Sala goes, so could go many 2718 02:26:16,879 --> 02:26:20,840 Speaker 6: other players for Liverpool. It's really not enough to state 2719 02:26:20,879 --> 02:26:23,960 Speaker 6: that this very hard start, hot start in both the 2720 02:26:24,000 --> 02:26:27,240 Speaker 6: Premier League and in the Champions League has breathed new 2721 02:26:27,280 --> 02:26:29,760 Speaker 6: life into Liverpool, who looks like they were really just 2722 02:26:29,800 --> 02:26:32,760 Speaker 6: about ready to tear it down and eat a few 2723 02:26:32,840 --> 02:26:35,480 Speaker 6: years in the wilderness while they tried to retool after 2724 02:26:35,560 --> 02:26:39,160 Speaker 6: Jurgen Klop's departure. But with the advent of everything so 2725 02:26:39,240 --> 02:26:43,280 Speaker 6: far in this first quarter of Premier League play and 2726 02:26:43,360 --> 02:26:47,760 Speaker 6: about halfway through group play in the Champions League, Liverpool 2727 02:26:47,840 --> 02:26:50,840 Speaker 6: is here to stay. That's it for us, Bernie. We'll 2728 02:26:50,840 --> 02:26:52,440 Speaker 6: see you next time on the World of Soccer. 2729 02:26:53,400 --> 02:26:55,920 Speaker 2: The World of Soccer. By the way, Liverpool, isn't that 2730 02:26:56,000 --> 02:27:02,279 Speaker 2: where that one band was from? Or the Beatles? Yeah? 2731 02:27:02,360 --> 02:27:08,720 Speaker 2: A lot happening in Liverpool. All right. Coming up, we 2732 02:27:08,800 --> 02:27:11,840 Speaker 2: wrap up the Bernie Fradler Show. We will tell the 2733 02:27:11,879 --> 02:27:15,440 Speaker 2: tale of a particular better at the DraftKings sportsbook, who 2734 02:27:15,640 --> 02:27:19,800 Speaker 2: lasted August, decided, what the hell, I'll wage one hundred 2735 02:27:19,840 --> 02:27:23,840 Speaker 2: dollars on a particular college in Ohio to win the 2736 02:27:23,879 --> 02:27:28,520 Speaker 2: college football playoff. And at that time the odds were 2737 02:27:28,600 --> 02:27:32,280 Speaker 2: ten thousand to one, which means the bet would have 2738 02:27:32,320 --> 02:27:36,400 Speaker 2: cashed a million dollars. Well, we're into December now and 2739 02:27:36,640 --> 02:27:41,280 Speaker 2: it's been decided. I'll tell you what happened. Plus, let's 2740 02:27:41,320 --> 02:27:46,760 Speaker 2: take one last look from Michigan's epic win. And yes, 2741 02:27:46,840 --> 02:27:49,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick to my guns here. I really believe 2742 02:27:50,440 --> 02:27:55,720 Speaker 2: that SARONN. Moore channeled Bull Schenn Beckler circa nineteen sixty 2743 02:27:55,800 --> 02:27:59,160 Speaker 2: nine when his overmatched Wolverines win at a number one 2744 02:27:59,160 --> 02:28:02,280 Speaker 2: Ohio State shunpeckers did no check that they played the 2745 02:28:02,280 --> 02:28:05,120 Speaker 2: game in ann Arbor, ohof Stateia won twenty two in 2746 02:28:05,120 --> 02:28:10,400 Speaker 2: a row and Michigan beat them. Will you consider some 2747 02:28:10,480 --> 02:28:12,080 Speaker 2: of the facts are sure with you heading into the 2748 02:28:12,120 --> 02:28:17,160 Speaker 2: game Saturday? The fact that Michigan went out right as 2749 02:28:17,200 --> 02:28:19,520 Speaker 2: a twenty point underdog and by the metrics, had maybe 2750 02:28:19,520 --> 02:28:21,640 Speaker 2: an eight percent chance at best to win that game, 2751 02:28:22,280 --> 02:28:24,600 Speaker 2: it will leave you scratching your head.

But you know, the trick to radio 2765 02:29:08,600 --> 02:29:11,520 Speaker 2: is it's not easy.

All right, appreciate that guys. 2775 02:29:29,800 --> 02:29:32,520 Speaker 2: Great job to I especially on a brand new fool 2776 02:29:32,560 --> 02:29:36,920 Speaker 2: and what my name as well? I mentioned a minute 2777 02:29:36,959 --> 02:29:42,480 Speaker 2: ago that one particular better at DraftKings sports book wagered 2778 02:29:42,840 --> 02:29:45,359 Speaker 2: one hundred dollars on a certain college team from Ohio 2779 02:29:45,720 --> 02:29:48,120 Speaker 2: to win the college football playoff. At ten thousand and 2780 02:29:48,160 --> 02:29:51,440 Speaker 2: one os before the season. That bet would have paid 2781 02:29:51,440 --> 02:29:54,440 Speaker 2: a million dollars. So how did it go? Well? First 2782 02:29:54,440 --> 02:29:58,320 Speaker 2: of all, he bet on Kent State Kent State to 2783 02:29:58,560 --> 02:30:01,960 Speaker 2: win the college football playoff through one hundred bucks. Maybe 2784 02:30:01,959 --> 02:30:04,400 Speaker 2: you better off lighting that money on fire at least 2785 02:30:04,400 --> 02:30:06,720 Speaker 2: to keep you warm. We don't want a million except 2786 02:30:06,720 --> 02:30:09,200 Speaker 2: for one thing. Hell, Ken State didn't even win a 2787 02:30:09,240 --> 02:30:12,640 Speaker 2: single game this year. The Golden Flashes finished show on twelve, 2788 02:30:13,440 --> 02:30:15,560 Speaker 2: and the good news is they only lost by an 2789 02:30:15,600 --> 02:30:18,800 Speaker 2: average with thirty points a game. Their point differential was 2790 02:30:19,080 --> 02:30:22,440 Speaker 2: minus three sixty two. With all due respect to this 2791 02:30:22,520 --> 02:30:27,400 Speaker 2: fine gentleman, you talk about shooting babies at the moon 2792 02:30:27,480 --> 02:30:29,400 Speaker 2: or trying to hit a needle in a haystack. Bet, 2793 02:30:29,520 --> 02:30:32,440 Speaker 2: this doesn't even begin to describe how wacky that is. 2794 02:30:33,120 --> 02:30:36,800 Speaker 2: Almost as wacky as the Michigan Wolverines is twenty point 2795 02:30:36,879 --> 02:30:42,560 Speaker 2: underdogs winning at Ohio State Saturday. Just when you think 2796 02:30:42,600 --> 02:30:44,360 Speaker 2: you've seen it at all, you see something new? Or 2797 02:30:44,400 --> 02:30:46,680 Speaker 2: did you sure old Moore did the same thing that 2798 02:30:46,720 --> 02:30:49,360 Speaker 2: Beau sham Beckler did back in nineteen sixty nine. Let 2799 02:30:49,360 --> 02:30:52,200 Speaker 2: me set this up. Let's pretend you're the Michigan Wolverines. 2800 02:30:52,520 --> 02:30:55,720 Speaker 2: You're twenty point underdogs. You're facing one of the best 2801 02:30:55,720 --> 02:31:00,200 Speaker 2: Ohio State teams on paper that we can remember. You're 2802 02:31:00,200 --> 02:31:02,920 Speaker 2: without You're Michigan, and you're without your best offensive player, 2803 02:31:02,959 --> 02:31:08,080 Speaker 2: tight in cold Colston Loveland. You're without your best defensive player, 2804 02:31:08,080 --> 02:31:10,240 Speaker 2: Will Johnson will be a top five, top six pick 2805 02:31:10,240 --> 02:31:13,240 Speaker 2: in the draft. You start a quarterback who's a walk 2806 02:31:13,280 --> 02:31:15,840 Speaker 2: on and a cancer survivor. It wasn't even your starting 2807 02:31:15,879 --> 02:31:20,000 Speaker 2: quarterback at the beginning of the year. You walk into 2808 02:31:20,080 --> 02:31:22,920 Speaker 2: that game with a first year coach and a team 2809 02:31:22,959 --> 02:31:28,640 Speaker 2: who struggled offensively mightily all year. You have an eight 2810 02:31:28,680 --> 02:31:31,800 Speaker 2: percent chance of winning according to the metrics. And let's 2811 02:31:31,840 --> 02:31:35,840 Speaker 2: be honest, Michigan won the line of scrimmage early and often. 2812 02:31:36,400 --> 02:31:38,080 Speaker 2: They earned every bit of it. They ran for one 2813 02:31:38,160 --> 02:31:42,080 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven yards. When the situation demanded greatness, 2814 02:31:42,480 --> 02:31:44,840 Speaker 2: they did it. And give it up to Charon Moore, 2815 02:31:45,879 --> 02:31:49,119 Speaker 2: I'm sick and tired of people trying to stuff Lincoln 2816 02:31:49,160 --> 02:31:53,040 Speaker 2: Kennedy down. I love Lincoln Kennedy, not you, Lincoln Lincoln 2817 02:31:53,320 --> 02:31:56,400 Speaker 2: Riley down our throat. Give me his signature win please. 2818 02:31:56,560 --> 02:31:59,680 Speaker 2: In the last four years, Shearan Moore beat Ohio State. 2819 02:31:59,760 --> 02:32:02,600 Speaker 2: Last year is the inner when Jim Harball was suspended. 2820 02:32:03,280 --> 02:32:07,800 Speaker 2: Charling Moore beat Michigan State earlier this year. You say, 2821 02:32:07,959 --> 02:32:10,560 Speaker 2: so what Michigan State? Yeah, I guess, But guess what 2822 02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:13,840 Speaker 2: who never did that? Jim Harball didn't beat Michigan State 2823 02:32:13,879 --> 02:32:16,400 Speaker 2: his first year, both shanm Beckler didn't beat Michigan State 2824 02:32:16,440 --> 02:32:18,920 Speaker 2: his first year, Charan Moore beat Michigan State his first year, 2825 02:32:18,959 --> 02:32:22,240 Speaker 2: and Ohio State. And you can throw the records out 2826 02:32:22,280 --> 02:32:24,760 Speaker 2: the window. Now this is a Wolverine team, you know. 2827 02:32:24,920 --> 02:32:28,240 Speaker 2: Casey Stengel once said teams can't beat the Yankees because 2828 02:32:28,240 --> 02:32:31,320 Speaker 2: he gets stuck staring at the pinstripes. All due respect 2829 02:32:31,360 --> 02:32:34,160 Speaker 2: to Ryan Day, I think they gets stuck staring at 2830 02:32:34,200 --> 02:32:37,800 Speaker 2: the winged helmet. They they're tentative. There's something about when 2831 02:32:37,840 --> 02:32:40,440 Speaker 2: he gets on the field with Ohio State or Michigan 2832 02:32:40,480 --> 02:32:43,600 Speaker 2: Excuse me, and do I think Ryan Dali'll be fired. No, 2833 02:32:43,680 --> 02:32:46,960 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. And they're still going to the playoffs, 2834 02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:50,280 Speaker 2: and let's see how they do in the playoffs. He's 2835 02:32:50,320 --> 02:32:53,039 Speaker 2: got a thirty seven million dollars buyout. If he wants 2836 02:32:53,080 --> 02:32:55,240 Speaker 2: out that bad, maybe they can negotiate something. I don't 2837 02:32:55,240 --> 02:32:57,240 Speaker 2: think he does, though, I don't think that's in his DNA. 2838 02:32:57,640 --> 02:32:59,200 Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on there, but I don't 2839 02:32:59,200 --> 02:33:01,440 Speaker 2: think they're going to fly them. But if they're want 2840 02:33:01,440 --> 02:33:04,360 Speaker 2: and done in the playoffs, I know the discussions will 2841 02:33:04,520 --> 02:33:07,600 Speaker 2: certainly be more fervent. I just don't think it's in 2842 02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:09,720 Speaker 2: the cards. I think it could be a gloomy offseason 2843 02:33:09,720 --> 02:33:12,320 Speaker 2: depending on how the Hoi State Buckeyes doing the playoffs. 2844 02:33:13,440 --> 02:33:17,600 Speaker 2: But I just don't think it's it's gonna happen. Could 2845 02:33:17,600 --> 02:33:19,760 Speaker 2: I be wrong? Sure, it's not a zero, but I 2846 02:33:19,760 --> 02:33:23,360 Speaker 2: don't think it's gonna happen. Speaking of the playoffs, we 2847 02:33:23,400 --> 02:33:28,560 Speaker 2: can now sort of project a new playoff bracket, and 2848 02:33:28,879 --> 02:33:31,080 Speaker 2: it's important to note that when you rank the top 2849 02:33:31,120 --> 02:33:33,480 Speaker 2: twenty five, it doesn't match the seed in the playoff. 2850 02:33:34,320 --> 02:33:36,800 Speaker 2: You know, the four highest ranked conference champions through two, 2851 02:33:37,000 --> 02:33:38,680 Speaker 2: you know they're going to receive the top four seeds 2852 02:33:38,720 --> 02:33:41,640 Speaker 2: and buys regardless of where they rank in the top 2853 02:33:41,640 --> 02:33:44,880 Speaker 2: twenty five. Now the fifth rank conference champion, he's also 2854 02:33:45,320 --> 02:33:48,240 Speaker 2: automatically in, even though that team will not get a buy. 2855 02:33:49,320 --> 02:33:52,199 Speaker 2: So when we talk about what I'm going to project 2856 02:33:52,240 --> 02:33:56,160 Speaker 2: here now, this is based on right now where the 2857 02:33:56,240 --> 02:33:59,360 Speaker 2: rankings are, not what I will know will happen Tuesday, 2858 02:34:00,440 --> 02:34:02,840 Speaker 2: but it looks based on what we think we know now. 2859 02:34:02,920 --> 02:34:09,119 Speaker 2: Oregon obviously they'll be the number one seed convincingly right now. 2860 02:34:09,400 --> 02:34:13,280 Speaker 2: It appears right now that Texas will be the number 2861 02:34:13,320 --> 02:34:16,320 Speaker 2: two seed. Believe it or not. Miami, even though they 2862 02:34:16,400 --> 02:34:20,120 Speaker 2: got beat, they're the third highest ranking conference champion and 2863 02:34:20,160 --> 02:34:23,520 Speaker 2: seeded number three. But since they got beat, they won't 2864 02:34:23,520 --> 02:34:28,760 Speaker 2: even be going to the ACC championship game. So you 2865 02:34:28,800 --> 02:34:32,840 Speaker 2: know that's gonna change. The Boise State fourth and right now, 2866 02:34:32,959 --> 02:34:38,080 Speaker 2: look it started today, Number nine Tennessee would play number 2867 02:34:38,120 --> 02:34:42,519 Speaker 2: eight Georgia. The winner would travel Oregon. Number twelve Arizona 2868 02:34:42,520 --> 02:34:45,080 Speaker 2: State would play Ohio State. I think Ohio State will 2869 02:34:45,160 --> 02:34:49,560 Speaker 2: end up be in the fifth seed. I just do. 2870 02:34:50,280 --> 02:34:53,360 Speaker 2: They would host Arizona State. The winner would play number 2871 02:34:53,360 --> 02:34:58,760 Speaker 2: four Boise State in the quarterfinals. Indiana Penn State eleven 2872 02:34:58,800 --> 02:35:01,880 Speaker 2: and six, two Big ten teams. I think that's stupid. 2873 02:35:02,160 --> 02:35:04,160 Speaker 2: The one matchup I love this year. I think this 2874 02:35:04,440 --> 02:35:07,760 Speaker 2: su meute team is scary good. But I was also 2875 02:35:07,840 --> 02:35:12,760 Speaker 2: very impressed with Notre Dame Saturday. Very physical, very buttoned up, 2876 02:35:13,520 --> 02:35:18,080 Speaker 2: very explosive, very capable, very assignment sound. Once again, another 2877 02:35:18,120 --> 02:35:23,800 Speaker 2: signature loss for Lincoln Riley. They blew it late and 2878 02:35:23,840 --> 02:35:26,200 Speaker 2: then Tennessee Georgia. I looks like those two are gonna 2879 02:35:26,480 --> 02:35:28,959 Speaker 2: hook up. I don't think they they'll penalize Georgia even 2880 02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:33,840 Speaker 2: if they lose the SEC game championship game against Texas, 2881 02:35:33,879 --> 02:35:37,400 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. Tuesday will be fun. I'll 2882 02:35:37,400 --> 02:35:39,320 Speaker 2: be back on the airwaves next Friday night with plenty 2883 02:35:39,360 --> 02:35:42,360 Speaker 2: more high jinks and plenty more things to lead the 2884 02:35:42,400 --> 02:35:46,200 Speaker 2: news cycle. And in the meantime, you enjoy your NFL Sunday, 2885 02:35:46,240 --> 02:35:48,760 Speaker 2: which is coming up here in about six hours. And 2886 02:35:49,080 --> 02:35:52,320 Speaker 2: also in the meantime, keep it locked.
