1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Tuesday,

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: November twenty nine, A winning night on Monday Night Football

4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: for your boy. Told you guys, I was on the

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Steelers and the contest, getting two and a half. I

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: bet them. I ended up betting a money line as well.

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: Late yesterday, just got a vibe. I was like, come on, Pittsburgh, Kenny,

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: pick it, gonna deliver me a dub and Pittsburgh comes through.

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: It wasn't easy, but thank you. I'd like to give

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: a hearty thank you to Jeff Saturday for butchering I

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: mean in comical fashion, totally butchering end of game sequence

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: for the Colts. I'm not gonna break it all down

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: for you, but bout it. It was ugly. It was

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: It was Nathaniel Hackett level stuff and and one of

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: my big reasons for taking this game. You can break

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: down the excess and I was all you want. You

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: can break down the offensive lines, the injuries. It came

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: down to me Mike Tomlin against Jeff Saturday, and Mike

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Tomlin an utter genius, nineteen and three all time on

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. Just when baby, how about Mike Tomlin

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: putting the Colts offense in a body bag for the

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: first quarter and a half they had something like eight

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: yards on six place. It was. It was just embarrassing.

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: The Colts end up coming back as they do. And

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: then Matt Ryan, you know, vomited up at the one

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: yard line and in the fourth quarter and and this

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: is the weird thing about the NFL. And we'll get

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: to World Cup, the big match coming up later this morning,

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: USA Iran. Now, the good news is the herd is

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: dark this week, so uh, for the first time since

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: the football season started, I've got some days off. Obviously,

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll be producing the podcast all week. And the other

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: news is I've known this for a minute, so I've

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: got some plans to play some hoops. I'm like, it's

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: it's very rare to get days after in the football season.

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: You guys know this. No vacations during football season. Push

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: it to the end. Um, no weekends off. Every Sunday,

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: whether I've been at my son's volleyball tournament, my kids

39
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: soccer games, I'm watching Red Zone on my phone. That's

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: the commitment. You want to win it. Gambling you wanna

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: be at the top of the ladder when it comes

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: to talking sports, TV podcasts, all that stuff. I'm putting

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: in the time. I'm gonna put in the work. I know,

44
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: family matters, obviously, it does greatly. Just football season, you know,

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: it's work. It's like football season for me is like

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: an accountant in March and April, except football season is

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: September through you know, January, February, and so you know,

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm watching Monday and football a little bit on my phone.

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Last night. It was one of those Santa things in

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. And every time, every time I look at him,

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: like you, Kenny Pickett, He's doing things. I don't exactly.

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it was great. You know, twenty eight

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: didn't make any mistakes, which was the key. No turnovers.

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan had too. It was like Kenny Pickett, like

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: looks like an NFL back. He's he's mobile, getting loose,

56
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: six carries thirty two yards. I just like what I

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: saw from him poise um on the road, Primetime game Listen.

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: He was working with the lead a lot of the night,

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: but he did have to have a big drive there

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: at the end to take the lead. I like what

61
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: I saw from Kenny Pickett. Is he a franchise quarterback?

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Too early to tell for me, but he definitely looks

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: like he belongs in the league, that's for sure. But

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: this was about um Jeff Saturday and the Annapolis Colts

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: just totally butchering the end of the game. So I'll

66
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: quickly walk you through it. So they're down a touchdown

67
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: right and they take over at their own seven yard line,

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: and of course there is the big play to Michael

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Pittman there. There there's something like almost four minutes left,

70
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, you've got an eternity. They got

71
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: plenty of time, and they acted like it. You know,

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: it was like one of these slower, hurry up offenses.

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: But again, three three fifty I think they had three

74
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: time outs and you're like, oh, they got plenty of

75
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: time to go down the field and they're moving fine.

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: They get the two minute warning, fourth and three, Matt

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Ryan to Pittman, big one, the conversion. At this point

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, this is gonna be a sweat and

79
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: this is where it gets weird. Matt Ryan gets sacked. Okay,

80
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: they're pushed back second and seventeen so you go from

81
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: the two minute warning where you get the conversion, you're

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: sacked on first down. All of a sudden when you're

83
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: stabbing the ball again. It's only it's been one uh

84
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: to place the fourth down conversion and first down and

85
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: there's fifty nine seconds left. Matt Ryan big scramble up

86
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: the middle, third and three. They don't burn a time out.

87
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: They wait. I think it was like twenty five seconds

88
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: between the run and when they snapped the ball, and

89
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: they wasted so much time, You're like, what are you

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: guys doing? What are you gonna take these time outs?

91
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: So then they burned the time out after the Jonathan

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Taylor run. So now it's fourth and three and you're

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: sitting here with time outs in your pocket and you're like,

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: what is Jeff Saturday doing? Folks just was this was terrible?

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: But this is a first time NFL head coach who

96
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: has zero experience in this sort of thing, and it's like,

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: we saw this Sunday with an experienced coach. It is

98
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: tough in crunch time. You guys have played sports. When

99
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: do you burn the time outs? When do you foul?

100
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: In basketball? It's it seems easy watching on TV, but

101
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: when you're in the heat of the moment and there's

102
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: so much going on, it can be tough. And clearly

103
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: we saw Sunday Todd Bowls was a disaster. I mean,

104
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: his explanation for why they didn't burn time outs When

105
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: you've got Tom Brady under center? What what you're basically

106
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: playing for overtime on the road. When you've got Tom Brady,

107
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Todd Bowls? Like, Tom Brady had

108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: to be just cursing under his breath about Byron Leftwich

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and Tubles. What are we doing, guys, I'm Tom flipping Brady,

110
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: let me cook. And it was just inexplicable. Now the Colts,

111
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: you've got Matt Ryan, Michael Pittman, and Jonathan Taylor. Not exactly,

112
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady burn those time outs. So Matt Ryan and

113
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the Colts, that's a damaging loss for them. You know,

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: this is one of those games, like I'm glad the

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Steelers want obviously from my bank roll, my son, and

116
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: I want to combine four and O in fantasy because

117
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: I know you care about our fantasy football teams. But

118
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: what hurts the most about the Colts this this lost,

119
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Like the Titans lost, This was an opportunity for you

120
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: to gain ground. Folks. As crazy as this sounds, the

121
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: a f C South is currently four seven and one

122
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: Colts four and seven Jaguars, like the Jacksonville Jaguars, who

123
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: have been a disaster for much of the season, like that,

124
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the stats and and the numbers for them were great,

125
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: but they cannot get any wins, are right there with

126
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: the Colts. Now, I personally don't think either of them

127
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: is catching uh Tennessee. Despite the Tennessee loss. Now, Tennessee

128
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: has another tough one this week, and so they could

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: end up being seven and five. This is seven and

130
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: four Tennessee team with a plus four point to Frenchio. Okay,

131
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: this game against Philly will be tough. So let's say

132
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: they lose to Philly. The following week they have Jacksonville.

133
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: They could be suddenly seven and six. If they lose

134
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: that to Jacksonville, they still have the Chargers, they will

135
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: beat the Houston Texans. They gotta face the Cowboys and

136
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: then another with the Jacks. So there is a chance,

137
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and I'm saying it's a slim one. So you're saying

138
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: there's a chance, you know, there is a tiny chance

139
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Jacksonville can make a move and overtake Tennessee. Now, it

140
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: would take something of an implosion from the Titans. But

141
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: it's not like this is a great Tennessee offense. They

142
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: can't go run away high and hide from anyone. They've

143
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: got injuries on the defensive end. They just lost to

144
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: a Bengals team that was missing Joe Mixon and Jamaar Chase.

145
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean you basically got beat by Somaj p rhyme.

146
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Is it Sammy p Ryan or Samaj whoever it is?

147
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: What are the p Ryan guys? Uh? Number thirty four

148
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: for the Bengal Sorry, I don't know p Ryan's first name.

149
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: And Tie Higgins, you tell me Jacksonville, if e t

150
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: N is healthy, E t N is not better than

151
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: the backups that just that just went up and down

152
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: the field and beat the Titans. So I don't think

153
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is totally out of it. If you are the Steelers,

154
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: you know this one kind of stinks because all you

155
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: care about his draft position. Now. I know the wind

156
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: feels good, but let's be realistic. Pittsburgh has no chance

157
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: in a playoffs. But Deshaun Watson's back. Uh. Pittsburgh and

158
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland both four and seven. I mean, yeah, the Jets

159
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: could fall off a cliff, But are the Jets, Patriots

160
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: and Chargers all falling off a cliff and getting you

161
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: back in the mix? I personally don't see it see it.

162
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: Let's just quickly take a look who each play in

163
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Week thirteen. Pittsburgh another Dome game. Short week they go

164
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. We know what Atlanta wants to do, run

165
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: the football, we know the Atlanta d is a little suss.

166
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh is probably this. Uh that Pittsburgh is

167
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: what I would take their Mike Tomlin can go on

168
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: the road and get that win. Then they're five and seven,

169
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: and you know something to crawl about. Um. Next up

170
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: for the Colts, who are boo Sunday Night football Jeff

171
00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: Saturday under the spotlight against dak Tony Pollard, Ceedee Lamb,

172
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: maybe Odell Beckham and the Cowboys. Oh that's I don't

173
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: know if I can make a case for the Colts there.

178
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: um quick NFL note before we get to the World Cup.

179
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: I think I'll probably touch on NBA UM. It's weird

180
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: the Aaron Donald was announced that he has a high

181
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. So if you're keeping score at home, Cooper

182
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: Cup is basically done for the season. On I R,

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's got an elbow, he had a concussion. It

184
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: sounds like they're close to shutting him down for the season.

185
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: And then Monday it's really revealed that Aaron Donald has

186
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain and it could be he's done

187
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: for the season. So now the Rams, who are underdogs

188
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: again this week, they were I think fifteen and a

189
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: half point underdogs against the Chiefs. They didn't depending on

190
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: what the number you got. They lost by sixteen with

191
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Bryce Perkins. They now host the Seattle Seahawks and the

192
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champions. They're not going to the playoffs.

193
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: So you're telling me, basically your three best players Aaron Donald,

194
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: who I'm pretty sure made that great play at the

195
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: end of the Super Bowl. Defensively, you got Matt Stafford

196
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: who made all the throws, and you've got Cooper Cup

197
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: who was unguardable uh and cooked the Bengals for a

198
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: couple of times of touchdowns in the Super Bowl. You've

199
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: got that trio and you're telling me that none other

200
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: one will play Allen Robinson by the way out for

201
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: the season. I didn't even realize that stress fracture in

202
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: his foot. They are done, folks. The Rams may not

203
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: win another game the rest of the season. And guess what,

204
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: Detroit Lion fans are happy as hell because they have

205
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: the rams number one pick. So if you're Dan Campbell,

206
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: you know you've got their number one pick coming. You

207
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: want to win as many games as you can. You

208
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: want to go for the plays. You're not tanking for

209
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: the pick, you get the one from the Rams. Currently,

210
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the draft order. Houston is one. Number

211
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: two is Chicago, which you know, it sounds like it's

212
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna be Trevor Simeon again this week. Maybe Trevor Simeon

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: against Um the backup Jordan's Love in Green Bay. Number

214
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: three would be the Detroit Lions getting to pick from

215
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: the Rams. Four Seattle pick from Denver. This is one

216
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: of those weird years, man, the Rams in Denver. Almost

217
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: everyone had them in the playoffs on some level, and

218
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: they don't get their picks now. The other one that's

219
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: interesting is the New Orleans Saints. They are four and eight.

220
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: They have a big game coming up, I think against

221
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: Tampa this week. As bad as Tampa's been, I'm sorry,

222
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: as bad as the Saints have been, Tampa has also

223
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: been bad. Saints're only a game and a half out.

224
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: If they can go to Tampa and steal that game,

225
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: they're a half game out of first place in the

226
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Saints are right back in it. So I know a

227
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: lot of teams have been dead and buried. We still have,

228
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: what are we thirty five weeks left, so a lot

229
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: of these teams can potentially still make a run. Folks.

230
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: I have this feeling that there's gonna be some chaos somewhere.

231
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know where, but there is gonna be

232
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: chaos here at the end of the NFL season, um,

233
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: especially with the Rams out of it now. One of

234
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: the things that I floated, You know, Sean Payton goes

235
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: on the herd on Monday, so during the break, I'm

236
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: peppering him with all these questions and and he loves

237
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, obviously everybody does from USC and he's like,

238
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody would tank next year for Caleb Williams,

239
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, Houston's clearly the worst team

240
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: in the league. The quarterbacks are like Stroud, Bryce Young,

241
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: Will Levis. I don't know who you want to declare

242
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: the number one guy. Would Houston consider saying we're gonna

243
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: go take the best defensive player or maybe an offensive

244
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: tackle shoots up the board. But Will Anderson, the add

245
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: drusher from Alabama is pretty awesome. I don't know if

246
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: he's generational, but he's very, very, very very good. Do

247
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: you say, well, you know, we're gonna take Will Anderson,

248
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: and we'll take a quarterback in the second or the

249
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: third round, and we will have we will gladly take

250
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: another bite at the Apple next year and get Caleb Williams,

251
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: who looks incredible. Is that appealing if you're a Houston

252
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: Texans fan. I don't know. I I thought Stroud was

253
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: was dealing against Michigan and then all of a sudden

254
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: their defense broke down. I like Stroud, but again the

255
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: or Ohio state history is kind of against him. Although

256
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: remember I famously was doubting Patrick Mahomes coming out of

257
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Texas Tech because my one of my arguments was, well,

258
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: Big twelve quarterbacks haven't translated. They don't play any defense

259
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve. It's like Arena league football. So yeah,

260
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: you put up monster numbers. He didn't win any games.

261
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: One of the big things was Cliff Kingsbury didn't win

262
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: any games in the Big twelve. Well, Patrick Homes didn't

263
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: really win any games. And then you know his numbers

264
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: are massive, but okay, and then he gets to the

265
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: NFL and he has Andy Reid and it's like kaboom um.

266
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: All right, So let's move on to the World Cup

267
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: because this is probably the biggest US soccer match for

268
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: the men's national team since they were trying to qualify

269
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: for the Team World Cup, and remember they famously did not.

270
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: I would have forgot who they lost to. I've tried

271
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: to block it out. You know. I had just gotten

272
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: to Fox and they're trying to qualify for the World Cup.

273
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: It was all excited, and then they don't qualify. So

274
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: it's win or go home. This morning, the kick off

275
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: is eleven a m Iran, not Iran Iran, as the

276
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Iranian journalists will tell you, against the US. I'm not

277
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and try to break down XS and oose, like,

278
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: what what's going to happen. I have talked to guys

279
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: in the soccer community. You guys know, I'm a minority

280
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: owner of nick Coxa in Liga MX. I talked to

281
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: a lot of soccer guys. I've forged a bit of

282
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: a relationship with the Pro Football Focus soccer guys who

283
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: are very plugged in and have some incredible stats. I

284
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: think we've got a really good chance here. I don't

285
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: want to like build up everybody and then there's a

286
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: massive letdown, but just a couple of things that need

287
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: to be considered. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

291
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: Iran started out getting thrashed by England. Now you can say, well,

292
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: they had a lot on their mind due to the

293
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: protest for their what's going on in their country, and

294
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: they didn't sing the national anthem, and then they went

295
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: out and they were down for nothing to England, like

296
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: fairly quickly. And then they score a goal and then

297
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: England adds two more and then they get you know,

298
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: another garbage time if you will six to so it

299
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: looks like they have offense, right. So some of the

300
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: possession numbers that I saw were they basically could not

301
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: possess the ball at all against England. England controlled the

302
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: match from start to finish and they could do nothing.

303
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: So then you have England against Sorry Whales against Iran

304
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: and basically the same thing happened. Whales totally control the ball,

305
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: they just couldn't find the back of the net. Then

306
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: they get the red card against them. Very late in

307
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: the game. Iran scores two extra time goals to make

308
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: it look like again, make it look like they're offensive.

309
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: The goals were scored by defenders. Just f yi. Bottom

310
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: line is Iran has no defense whatsoever. They get shredded

311
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: by England and then they tack on a couple goals

312
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: when they're getting blown out. I personally do not think

313
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: this team is very good. Some of the numbers you see,

314
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: like leading up the defensively, they really can't stop anyone.

315
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: And it's one of those situations where the US one

316
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: of their big bugaboos. Can they score goals? Listen, I

317
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: know I just bashed you wrong, folks. How many goals

318
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: does the US have at the World Cup d eighty minutes.

319
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: We got one goal. One goal. We had some great chances,

320
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: golden opportunities against English, just could not deliver. It's tough.

321
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: We have one goal. Remember, one of my bets before

322
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: the World Cup was over three and a half goals

323
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: for the US in the World Cup. Now, my my

324
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: logic was, they'll get to the group stage, you'll get

325
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: four games. Certainly they'll get four goals. Well, first of all,

326
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: they need to win to advance, that's obvious. If they

327
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: lose or tie, they're done. It's over. World Cup. Cook,

328
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: it is cooked. I think they're gonna have a real

329
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: good chance to score two goals in this when I've

330
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: bet the US to win to nothing. Um, I think

331
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: my guess is the US defense. By the way, I

332
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: think I mentioned this on last week's pod leading leading

333
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: up to the World Cup. The US played Japan and

334
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: the US played Saudi Arabia. Here's the funny part. We

335
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: looked pretty weak against those two and couldn't score a goal,

336
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: and we gave up one goal. And it's like, oh,

337
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: we can't beat Saudi Arabia or Japan. Well, I don't know,

338
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: did you guys pay attention to the World Cup Japan,

339
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: amazing comeback against Germany to beat them, and oh yeah,

340
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: by the way, Saudi Arabia beat Argentina two to one,

341
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: so like, oh, maybe we are not that bad. Our

342
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: defense is pretty damn good. And I know I've got

343
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: on Walkers Zimmerman's case on social media because I didn't

344
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: think he had a great game in the UH in

345
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: the England game, a couple giveaways in the back that

346
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: could have been a nightmare. Luckily our keeper was incredible Turner.

347
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling our defense comes to play now.

348
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Burr Halter at an outstanding game plan against England. If

349
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: you guys watched it closely. He and we didn't talk

350
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: about this yesterday really on the pod because it was

351
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: an NFL Monday, but really choked the middle of the field.

352
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: He had a high press and and like kind of

353
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: had like almost a triangle to prevent the ball from

354
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: going through the middle, which is where they like to build.

355
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: So they had to build through the outside and it

356
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: wasn't really working for them. We really removed Harry Cane

357
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: from that game. He was good, but he was not

358
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: Harry Kane Golden Boot winner in By the way, Harry

359
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: Kane zero goals for England through two games. Just putting

360
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: that out there. At any rate, I'm getting very excited

361
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: for this match. Obviously we've been here before where we

362
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: needed to beat. I want to say it was Algeria,

363
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: the game where Landed Donovan and stoppage Time scored. I mean,

364
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a better goal, but for me,

365
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: that was the most thrilling goal in US soccer history.

366
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: Now I don't have the I don't go back to like,

367
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: you know, the sixties and fifties, but that go by

368
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: Landon Donovan and stoppage Time was unbelievable. I still remember

369
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: absolutely freaking out watching it. Um what was it? Twenty was?

370
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: I think it was just it was iconic. I don't

371
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: think they're gonna need that. I hope they don't need that.

372
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if we see more Geo

373
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: Raina in this one. He came on as a sub.

374
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: There is a lot of chatter behind the scenes. I'm

375
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: not gonna, you know, talk at Linked about this, but

376
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: that there's some kind of rift between burr Halter and

377
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: Raina over playing time and the injury that may or

378
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: may not be an injury. We don't need that drama. Listen,

379
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: if Geo Rena can get on the pitch, he's a

380
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: creative offensive mind. We need him overall. I think Tyler

381
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: Adams has been incredible. I think Weston McKinney has been

382
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: very good. Uh, the nineteen year old Mussa. I like

383
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: what I've seen from him. The problem is up front,

384
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: how's you right? I don't know if he had a

385
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: shot on goal. I think Josh Sargent had one header

386
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: against Wales that went off the um, off the post.

387
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: But we need a goal. Hayes, who's Ferrara has yet

388
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: to play. I would like to see DeAndre Yedlin as

389
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: a sub. I definitely like Yedlin over more. Bottom line

390
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: is I'll be locked in and very fired up to

391
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: watch us A Iran at the same time England is

392
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: playing Wales. I think England just batches them pretty handily.

393
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: By the way, you guys don't pay attention to the

394
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: English media, but holy cow, they are crushing uh Southgate.

395
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: They who's the coach of England. They are going after

396
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: him big time. They're going after Harry Kane. I mean,

397
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: they're really just hammering this England team. You know, six

398
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: two you beat Iran, everything's great, everybody loves them. Oh

399
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the cup zero zero tie against the

400
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: lowly Americans and oh my goodness, what we're garbage? Why?

401
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, this is crazy. I don't follow the

402
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Premier League as close as any of the guys that

403
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: that I'm buddies with who follow up closely. But Phil

404
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: Phil Foden is on Manchester City. He is like a

405
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar player. He didn't even get on the

406
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: in the game against the US. I was stunned. I

407
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: didn't realize it until the end. I mean, twenty two

408
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: year old midfielder. He's incredible, dynamic, fast. I don't know.

409
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: I think England wins that handily in the morning games. Wait,

410
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: let me go through the bets that I've made for Ecuador, Senegal,

411
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: um and the other match is. I know you guys

412
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: love when I go a Netherlands quitar. By the way,

413
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: Netherlands guitar feels like a layoup um a. Netherlands is

414
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: going to win that game. Now they have an injury.

415
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: I know you guys don't really care too much, but

416
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: they're best striker Memphis to pay. He has been hurt

417
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: he's only come on as a sub, and if he

418
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: can be up front with the young kid Uh Cody

419
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: Gackpo I believe is his name. He has two goals.

420
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: He looks awesome. If you compare those two upfront, they'll

421
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: be dynamic. But they haven't looked it, and I think

422
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: it's I was reading about it sounds like the manager

423
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: is slow playing Memphis coming off the injury and saving

424
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: him almost for the knockout round. So my gut tells

425
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: me we'll see him again. Maybe we won't even see him,

426
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: we'll see him as a sub if anything. But I

427
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: think they dispatched qatar Uh fairly easily. So my my

428
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: plays in this one are um uh qatar um Anotherlands guitar.

429
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: I have over one point five rolls for Netherlands. I

430
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: think it's it's probably gonna be a two oh to

431
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: one three one. You could see Netherlands opening it up.

432
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: But uh, there's some numbers that say Netherlands has not

433
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: played great. I almost wonder if they think they're gonna

434
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: get through easily and the third game against Gquitar like Quaitar,

435
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: come on, they're done, They're eliminated. We probably won't see

436
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: them in another World Cup for many many years, so

437
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: maybe they go super hard, but is there any talent there?

438
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: So I think Netherlands is the bet for sure. Um.

439
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: And then the other one is Senegal Ecuador. Both teams

440
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: to score, it has to be a bet. Uh Ecuador.

441
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: Ecuador is kind of good. I don't think people should

442
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: sleep on them. Senegal. I don't know as much about

443
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: but I I like Ecuador. If you remember, we bet

444
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: the first game Ecuador Quitar Ecuador easily uh to nothing winner. Um,

445
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: it's a good it's a good team, one of the

446
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: few South America teams that looks good at the World Cup.

447
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: So very exciting Tuesday in soccer. Well, the guests we

452
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,960

453
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: ten of the World Cup. Group play is winding down.

454
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: I believe the Yes Saturday, Geez Saturday is going to

Speaker 1: be a ridiculous dance sports. So you've got championship Saturday.

456
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: In college football. The only game that's really of I mean,

457
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: Georgia L s U is not that interesting. L s

458
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: You just lost USC Utah. I guess has to be

459
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: the best game, right, because that's the only game where

460
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: something matters. USC needs to be to win an in obviously,

461
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: and you know, other than that, Michigan is gonna destroy Purdue.

462
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: Sorry to my Purdue friend who is on cloud nine

463
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: because um, you know, the Purdue boiler Makers basketball teams

464
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: on fire and now produce. Somehow, somehow got into the

465
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Big Ten championship game. It's a mystery how that happened.

466
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: But let Purdue fans let them have their moment. Guys,

467
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: Michigan is gonna win that handily. U n C. Clemson

468
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: needs nothing. I think Clemson probably kills him. UNC has

469
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: limped to the finish. But if you want to look

470
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: at a future quarterback prospect, the kid may the freshman

471
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: Richard freshman I think is awesome. I just don't think

472
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: L s U. Georgia is that compelling. Georgia should crush them.

473
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: And then, of course, so it's probably USC Utah is

474
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: the number one game Friday, that's Friday before championship Saturday.

475
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: And then Saturday. The early game at nine am Pacific

476
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: is TCU Kansas State tc You need to win to

477
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: advance to the College Football Playoff. And here's the weird thing.

478
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: Kansas State is good. People don't know about them. You know,

479
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: they're kind of off the radar nine and three. Um.

480
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: They Let's see, they lost a tough one in Texas,

481
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: but they got some good wins on the ledger. I

482
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: don't know they did lose TCU. I don't know if

483
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: they addage applies that it's tough to be their team twice.

484
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: But in that game, they led twenty eight to ten

485
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: in the second quarter before a furious TCU rally UM

486
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: for the for the ten point win. But just remember

487
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: they led twenty eight to ten. Okay, Kansas State's good.

488
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: Be careful TCU. UM. All right, that's it for today.

489
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: I'll be back on the podcast tomorrow. Everybody root for

490
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: the USA. Can't wait. Talk to you tomorrow.
