I was 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.200 beginning to wonder if, like I was just bad vibes 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:54.880 and you didn't want to talk to me. I didn't 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.440 know what was happening here.

That's all because 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.680 you know, he gets me involved in all this college basketball. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.040 I haven't had a rest in one hundred days. 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.320 Because there's been college basketball at ten o'clock in the 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.040 morning every goddamn day, so I can't even get arrest. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.520 It's ridiculous.

I was exhausted. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:37.480 I fell asleep. 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.200 I thought Dayton was up eighteen and a half and 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.280 lost ninety two ninety that way, and I woke up 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.000 to your text.

So at sixteen nineteen and one, 0:03:59.120 --> 0:03:59.640 for where. 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.280 We're going to at you on your record keeping, you're 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.040 gonna have to win one and yeah, you and me 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.960 were two and one and Will was one and two 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.440 and for the season. I'm a half game behind you, 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.480 all right, Todd, here's the it is now. It is 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.480 now ten minutes after the hour. We have to be 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.160 out by by fifty minutes from now. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.920 Okay, So okay, so it's going to be a speed deal, speed. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:27.000 Deal exactly early Thanksgiving podcast. All right, So we just 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.880 went over the records. Just give the full records first, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.919 because you have to do that. Courts snographer of the show. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:33.560 Are you all prepared for that? 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.880 No, I'm doing it right now. Gilly's nineteen sixteen and 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.360 one after his two and one. I believe you did? 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.040 You lost your teaser? Browns plus nine a half nine 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.640 ers plus eight? Was that a winner or loser? 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.520 Niners? That's a loser for me. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.040 Okay, so you go. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.400 Somehow you're two nine and one on your teasers. I'm 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.920 not sure how. That's the way it is. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:04:59.280 The Dolphins. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.960 Willy won wh teaser, but he has a screwed up 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:03.760 record from last week, so I'm not even gonna talk 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.040 about his. It's probably like four to six and something. 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.159 I hit my teaser, so I'm seven and five and 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:15.200 I moved to twenty and sixteen Willie is sixteen nineteen 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.359 and one. You are nineteen sixteen in one. The guest 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.720 is eighteen seventeen in one. So I still have a 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:21.720 half a game lead. 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.840 As we move on half a game lead, I'm lurking, lurking, 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.279 going for another Megapod championship. Okay, so we don't have 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.440 the Thursday night game to worry about like we usually do, 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.200 so we can x that part. But before we get 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:40.440 to best bets, what about Dumbo of the week? 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:41.000 Who? 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.800 I think? It's easy? I think it's Tomlin with the 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.400 way he botched his timeouts Thursday night, not calling that 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.159 time out after the first down run, wasting the timeout 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.000 on defense. The first time out he wasted because they 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.520 weren't lined up properly, kicking a fifty nine yard field 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.839 going to snow. Take your pick. I thought tom was 0:05:58.839 --> 0:05:59.840 a disaster the other night. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.160 I do too. Todd has a different pick, but it's 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:04.880 not but I would agree with you it's Tomlin. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.080 What was my Dumbo? I didn't even have a Dumbo 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.840 this week? Though? Dan, you don't have you. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.599 Talk about Dan Campbell throwing with golf two weeks ago 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.479 with twenty nine attempts. If you want to reinabit. 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.400 You have Antonio Pierce allowing Desmond Ridder to take a 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.320 sack somehow. You blame that on Peers. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.200 No, I don't blame that. I just blame that on 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.320 the Raiders organization. You know what, I'll blame that on 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.080 the haircut of Mark Davis, because if you can or 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.000 whatever his name is, what the If you can walk 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.440 around with that haircut, you can obviously get coaching that 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.359 allows you to get to the one yard line with 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.760 eighteen seconds left and no timeouts and somehow not have 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:44.520 your quarterback. 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:45.920 No, he can't take a sack. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.200 Now, by the way, the game did it matter except 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.480 for megapod records of course, because I had Raiders plus six. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:57.000 But the you know, it's just not professional football. It's 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.720 not professional buttoned up what you have to do football 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.520 from the half yard line with eighteen seconds if you're 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.760 gonna there's just one thing you have to know. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.400 You can't take a sack. Ridder. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.240 I I mean, I know you don't know how to 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.280 throw the ball. I watched you with the Bearcats and 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.680 all you did is roll back and run for forty yards. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.600 You know you don't know how to throw the ball. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.400 We all know that, but do you know how to 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:18.800 not take a sack ridder? 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:24.200 Oh my god, I still think by the way, then 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:25.640 they don't even try to hurry up. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.760 They just like all stand there looking around, like, oh, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.880 what should we do? Now? The clock's running out? I 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.600 guess should we do something? No? No, let's just end 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.800 the game. Raiders football commitments to stupidity. 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.360 As someone who had Broncos five and a half, I 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.080 thought it was all but dead and losing my goddamn 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.560 mind at that point as well. So unfortunately, I am 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.720 slightly happy for your pain, just slightly happy for your pain. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.960 And before I almost got in right, he almost got 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.440 the ball in on the play before and the review, remember, yeah. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.360 Story looking, we're looking at that from two different perspectives though, 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.200 because I'm watching that unful of and I'm like, I'm 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.480 gonna freaking lose this game, unbelievable, And then somehow that 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.000 that happens, and my life is made in that moment. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.920 And Antonio Pears used to live in my uh in 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.239 my building here, and I never quite had the courage 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.480 to call him out on his in game decisions. So 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:22.720 he's gone next and I can. 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:23.320 Talk about it. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.400 It's nice to know Stormy bets on games, unlike you 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:30.240 know a lot of the vs. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:31.280 Personalities. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.640 This fucking guy Stormy as a as a person who 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.920 actually gets to interview coaches and the like. I love 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.600 that phrase and the like. Does it in any way 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.680 when some dumb stuff happens on in a game on 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.160 a Sunday or Saturday, do you temper your comments on 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.880 Vson because you you think you might at some point 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.320 have to interview this person. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:06.240 At times, yes, like I have been extremely critical of 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.120 Mario crystaball and then I had to do the Miami 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.320 Louisville game earlier this season. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.480 And as I'm doing as I'm. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.559 Doing prep for that game, I'm scrolling online and one 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.839 of those send to news clips we have pops up 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.680 at the bottom of this article and it's me going like, 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.240 can Mario crystal Ball make a good decision? And it 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.520 said it, and I'm like, if he reads any of 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.720 the articles about himself, this is not going to go 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.840 great for me in my team meetings this week. And 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.040 so yeah, there have been times where I'm like, Okay, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.559 maybe maybe I need to sell in a little bit here. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.000 It happens at times, not super often, but at times yes, I'm. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.840 Like, uh, maybe I should chill. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.320 By the way, Gilly, that's a great question. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.600 And I would have paid the rest of every one 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.439 of my winning bets for the rest of the history 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.959 of my life if store me at halftime would walk 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.600 up to Mario crystaball and go So, Mario, if you 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:00.720 get it to a point. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.200 Where you get take a knee, maybe taking me this time, 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.480 what do you think I would I would have given 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.880 her a billion dollars if she would have said that 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:09.320 to him. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.400 Also, I'm still just shook by the fact that after 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.400 so it happened to him multiple times. But the fact 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.319 that it happens against Georgia Tech last year, and then 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.079 Georgia Tech is the l they take this year. How 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.880 you don't just try to like come back with a 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.520 vengeance in that game, I don't know. And so, yeah, 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.560 lots of stuff. But although don't clip this for Mario, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.079 I can't take it. Don't clip this for Mario. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.000 I do I do die. Just generally, like when the 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.160 coach is running off the field at halftime and they're 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.320 getting destroyed, like you know, twenty seven and nothing or something. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.400 I just wish that. I just wish that a coach 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.320 would have would be honest, like they're talking to the 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.960 coaches head like what do you gotta do to maintain this? 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.600 Like oh, there are you know? And then the coach 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.160 just goes, hey, let's be honest. They're a sorry football 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:53.760 team on the other side, like you just wish for 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.120 that honesty that you never get. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:56.880 They're such a leaf question. 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.800 If Stormy asked like a real question instead of some 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.720 canned question that every single one of those people like 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.439 Stormy has to ask and not. 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.440 Like you know, can questions, don't put her in that mix. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.920 I'm okay, but you know what I'm saying, Stormy's not 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.480 allowed to be caustic, you know what I mean. If 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.920 Stormy was allowed to be caustic, that would be just 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.960 so warming to the cackles of my heart because it 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.040 would be like what we really feel like if she 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.280 walked up to Luke Fickle and said, hey, Louke, don't 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.360 put a walk on on you know what I mean, 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:26.920 just like. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.199 Stuck it to them. You know, they'd be so much fun. 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:30.960 See. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.840 Unfortunately, if I want another interview again, I have to 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.679 play the game a little bit sore. There is that 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.360 element to it, certainly, but It is funny you say 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.080 that because I can't tell you how many times like 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.040 you think of what you really would like to ask, 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:46.319 and at the end of the day you asked the 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.840 question that it's going to be able to maintain your 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.880 relationship and everything's fine, but still one that ideally, if 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.080 they answer it properly and don't just say whatever they 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.880 want to say, would be something that the bands would. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:56.040 Want to know. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.360 But more often than not, they're just going to answer 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.800 however they want what the question is, which is a 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.160 little bit frustrating and why those in game interviews aren't 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.599 the most fun part of my job. I'll be transparent, 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.200 I don't think that big picture, a lot of audiences 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.560 love them, but it's great in the moments when you 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.600 do get a really like visceral reaction from someone, and 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.160 every now and then we do get those moments, which 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.320 is why we continue to do them. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.240 You know, you asked that us Sataki from BYU. You 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.280 asked him a dance question and he went with it, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.320 which I thought was pretty brave. Right like that you 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.240 went with the question. I was like, Oh, you might 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.880 have had some idea that he would have gone with it. 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.080 I would imagine well, he's a coach that I've covered 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.160 a ton of BYU over the last few years, and 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.200 so he and I have a very good relationship where 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.360 like I feel like I know that he's going to 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.679 give me something instead of just like moving on to 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.000 the next thing or saying goodbye. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.720 Yeah. That's a good part. 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.880 Of what we do too, though, is that there are 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.760 some coaches that you build good relationships with. 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.280 I'm still working on Mario, but Kilanie and I have 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:55.800 a good one. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.679 So so last thing, because I don't get to ask 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.840 you this because Stormy and I see each other for 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.920 three and a half minutes every day Monday through Friday, 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.280 two and a half minutes of which I feel terrible 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.280 that I'm in the studio and she has to prepare 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.440 for a show. So you don't have to answer this. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.360 But if you could wave the magic wand and you 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.760 were well, you were let's say you were forced to 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.680 do only one of your jobs, it's a terrible question. 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.120 You're not required to answer this. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.560 I can't answer that. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.160 I can't answer that. 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.000 I know I do feel really, I do feel really fortunate. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.720 So gil like I love the blend of what I 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.120 get to do now because I get to be like 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.080 live event and establish relationships with coaches and players and 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.120 get to have that kind of adrenaline filled thing for work. 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.240 But I also love studio and I have been somebody 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.080 that has been involved in betting since I was a 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.600 small child growing up in Las Vegas, and my family 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.200 ties to the betting world, and I don't think that 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.040 I could handle life without it, Like I literally learned betting, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.360 learned sports through the lens of betting. So it's an 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.719 impossible question because I love them both so much and 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.560 I wouldn't trade either one of them for the world. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.640 But I'm glad you added that detail because that is 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:12.120 the the most uh that is the most important detail 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.479 of your story, I think for what you do professionally, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.160 because you have done it, you know, you've known this 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.840 for your whole life. It comes across on air, and 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.880 people understand authenticity when they see it. There's no space 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.440 like betting where people can can immediately sniff out a fraud, right, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.800 and you are so not that, And I think it 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.800 all comes from that back. It has to. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.680 She gave a coach speak answer there though that was 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:40.640 like the coaches she interviews right there, that we're just 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.440 going to not turn the ball over and you know, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.640 run the ball in the second half. 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:44.600 That kind of answer. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:52.640 It's all about execution, all. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:51.040 Right, Todd. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.600 Last thing before best Bets, any endgame you'd like to 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:58.240 share with the with your audience, because this is your podcast, after. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.960 All, there was there was some good. 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.320 I mean, the the only one that I'll really talk 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.960 I mean, this is the basic one because I didn't 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.120 really get a good chance to uh to prepare, but 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.400 the I had a second leg of my parley with 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.360 San Diego. I'm sorry with the Chargers last night plus 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.320 eight and a half and then the the they got 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.440 punted all the way. Ravens got punted down to about 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.480 the ten yard line. It's about three and a half 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.520 minutes left in the first half. We've talked out about 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.200 about ad nauseum, that you can get the two for 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.280 one double dip possession, and it just felt like to 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.320 me the game was shifting there. The Chargers kind of 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.160 had them on their heels early, and it just felt 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.160 like to me, oh my gosh, the Ravens are starting 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:37.840 to come on and they're going to get two possessions. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:38.080 Here. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.360 Take the Ravens money line and just go for the 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.520 eight and a half point middle, and of course it 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.120 all worked out when we got the flags late in 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.840 the game and got the back door for a change, 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.120 even though that was a very difficult back door for Herbert. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.200 I mean, I see these I see these other garbage 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.440 quarterbacks go right down the field when I when I 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.600 never need a back door, like for instance, colerad State, 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.120 when we had the Fresno State. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.440 By fourteen, Me and Gilly in the middle of. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.560 Forty seconds left Colorado State's ball at their own thirty five, 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.160 no timeouts, It's impossible for them to get a touchdown, 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.760 and they throw it over to a middle to a 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.680 guy who's slow, and he's running and he's running and 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.600 he's running and they're running after him, and I'm like, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.240 come on, please come And then somehow we love that. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.920 Have you Have you ever seen me that pissed off 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:28.840 about a bet before? 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:29.600 I was. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.040 Okay, by the way, two of those. Just to follow 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.800 up on that, I had a little Herbert thing on 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.080 a numbers game on the radio side this morning. I 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.120 think he's an interest with Drew Dinsick. I think he's 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:48.320 an interesting debate currently because Drew was of the he's 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:52.040 good he's not elite crowd, and I sort of I 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.880 sort of pushed back a little on that, but I 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.360 get what he's saying because I had him eighth when 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.800 we did quarterback rankings, for whatever that's worth, and I 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.280 said he was about a year a way from having 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.600 a reputation. So I think he's about that, Like he's 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.879 on the doorstep of greatness, but also on the doorstep 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.000 of he better get some stuff, you know, accomplished laden 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.840 games from time to time, and then. 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.760 Get some receivers. Just wait till he gets well guys 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.679 that can catch the ball, because McConkie can catch it. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.639 Quentin Johnson was basically like, if I don't want to 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.120 say point shaving, but that was an unaspiring performance last night. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.119 It was boys Tamy and no. I mean, but he 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.000 did have good Keenan Allen for all those years too. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.720 I know you you dismissed that, but he did and 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.040 he had Mike Williams who ended up being good, so 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.639 it's not like he didn't have players. What was the 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.760 other thing, Oh, she what was the other thing you 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.639 just mentioned, Tom, I just want to follow up on. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.679 It was Herbert and then and then the other thing 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.000 I did this morning is I went after the anti 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.840 analytics crowd. I don't know if you heard that will 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.640 at all. Where it's when when the fourth downs don't work, 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.080 you hear them chirping every day, but when they work, 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.600 not a peep, not a peep from these people. And 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.879 the Ravens don't win that game unless they go for 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.360 it on four down, when they did multiple times from 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.120 their own sixteen once and the counter of it, Oh 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.439 well they have Derrick Henry. That was Mark Andrews who 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.080 got that. So I just feel like that's something that 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:17.359 needs to be said. Sometimes. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.520 That was smart too, because if they'd gotten stopped, they 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.679 if they had not gotten it, okay, it's a disaster. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.919
