Speaker 1: but right out the gate man, we had some breaking news,

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: some big news yesterday. Obviously, the career of Kirk Cousins,

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: your one Michigan spartan continues to He's got to be

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: the most impressive, non winning championship, non being all the way,

39
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: all the way, the franchise quarterback guy in his career.

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: He just signs away to keep getting contracts. Some really

41
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: really good setups and situations. Kirk Cousins signs with the Raiders. First,

42
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: at a first glance, at a first reaction, what was

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: your takeaway on this man?

44
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: I was, you know what, Kirk Cousins must have been

45
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: born on the right day and he just seems to

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: be at the right place at the right time when

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: it comes to free agency for himself, because what it

48
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: was it five years okay, one hundred and whatever. It's

49
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: astronomical for him to be able to land that kind

50
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: of contract, being to the Las Vegas Radier to have

51
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: the first pick in the draft. Everybody knows that they're

52
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: going to take a Fernando Mendoza from from from Indiana

53
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: and he still lands this is a starting quarterback top

54
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: what five contract to be a backup to be. When

55
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: I first saw that the Raiders had signed Kurt Cousins,

56
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: I'm thinking to myself, Okay, it's one of these deals

57
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: where he's going to be able to go in and

58
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: be a mentor for Mendoza moving forward for the future

59
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: for this franchise. And then I looked at the contract

60
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what and the ham sandwich is going

61
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: on around here? Because he just seems to be at

62
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: the right place at the right time every time it

63
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: comes to free agency and him get in the contract.

64
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, five years, two years is up to eighty men.

65
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: I believe the total contract is five years at one

66
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy two million dollars to be a backup

67
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL?

68
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: What are the expectations? Plex Like, if you're the Las

69
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, I mean you have you have Jack Beck,

70
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: you have Trede Tucker, you have Jalen Naylor. What are

71
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: your You know, you gotta askting genty in the backfield?

72
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: What are your expectations if you bring in a guy

73
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: like Kirk Cousins?

74
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: Like?

75
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: What? What does that signal anything to their fan base?

76
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: Does that signal anything to the National Football League? Can

77
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: can Kirk Cousins be a factor or is he just

78
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: going to end up being the backup to Fernando Mendoza.

79
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, when you pay somebody as much

80
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: money to to join your team, it's almost as if

81
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: they're saying, if the if the Fernando mendoz A thing

82
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: doesn't work out and he doesn't come in here day

83
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: one and he's not ready to play, we have a

84
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: veteran quarterback that is ready to step in Uh, you know,

85
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of almost saying that, you know, there's

86
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: a possibility that he could be the start for this

87
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: organization with this deal, because it makes I've never seen

88
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: anything like this. I don't think anybody has to to

89
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: receive this much amount of money to be a backup quarterback.

90
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: I've been saying for the last five years that the

91
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: backup quarterback in the NFL is one of the most

92
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: coveted positions in all the sports. Because your franchise quarterback

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: goes down, you have to have somebody to be able

94
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: to go in the game and be able to uh,

95
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: you know, run your run your team. But you know,

96
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: two years, eighty million dollars and the whole the total

97
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: of the contract is kind of is mind boggling to

98
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: myself and everybody else. I don't know exactly what the

99
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: plans are, but it seems to me that there's a

100
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 3: possibility that Finando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins will be going

101
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: into the off season competing for the job, which you

102
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: would not think would happen with him Mendoza going to

103
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: be the first pick and everybody expected him to be

104
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: the franchise guy.

105
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: Well, if you recall they did say there was some

106
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: report that that actually said they weren't planning on putting

107
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: the pressure on Mendoza to start, you know, right away.

108
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: And to me, if you're if you're if you're adapting

109
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: the idea the approach of bringing Mendozah slowly along and

110
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: not just throwing them to the wolves, I mean, you

111
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: got to think this team is not a very good team.

112
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: And so when you when you think about how how

113
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: far this Raiders team has to go in order to

114
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: get up to a competitive level, I mean I think

115
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: they got they got a little bit of time, you know,

116
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't They're not going to be that type of team.

117
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 1: They're not going to be a competitive team this year.

118
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: So the thought process might be, you know, left Fernando

119
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Mendoza get into the league, learn, you know, look around.

120
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: It gives him them a little bit more time to

121
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: build up the roster and build up the team, and

122
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: you have a guy and Kirk Cousins that could potentially,

123
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: with his experience, could potentially be good enough for them

124
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: to be competitive. I don't I don't see the Raiders winning.

125
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't see them being a winning team out there.

126
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Denver, I don't think Denver's for fake. I

127
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton has differ in the right direction. I

128
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: think they are and I think bo Knicks you know,

129
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: obviously I believe he'll be poised to have a better season,

130
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: and and then obviously I don't. I don't know again,

131
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: has the sun is the sun setting on the Chiefs.

132
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't want to don't want to

133
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: put that out there and say that. But I'm not

134
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: sure what the Chiefs are going to be. So that's

135
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: a wait and see. But I mean you're gonna lean

136
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: on the side that the Chiefs are going to be competitive.

137
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: And then you have the Chargers, and I think the

138
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: Chargers have a question mark as well, so maybe I mean,

139
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: when you really think about it, I mean, with Kirk

140
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Cousins becoming the quarterback, I mean he's not He's not.

141
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: You wouldn't say he's far off in terms of what

142
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: you would think as a quarterback of the quarterbacks in

143
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: the AFC West outside of Patrick Mahomes who's coming off

144
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: of a serious knee injury, and with both what he's

145
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: going to be, I mean, are you are you going

146
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: to put him clearly under bownecks? Are we going to

147
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: clearly put him under Justin Herbert.

148
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: Justin is going to be Justin Herbert. Yeah, Kirk Cousins

149
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 3: will be the worst quarterback in the division, not the worst,

150
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: but I would put bow Knicks, Patrick Mahomes, and Justin

151
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: Herbert ahead of Kirk Cousins.

152
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: I mean, how could you know?

153
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Is that a gap? Is there a gap? There is that? Like?

154
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: Is there a deficit there? I don't know that I

155
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: put them.

156
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: That fock like, yes, I would. I mean you look

157
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: at you look at the success that Kirk Cousins has had.

158
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: I mean, other than two or three really good years,

159
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: you would not call him put him in the top

160
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: ten quarterbacks in this league. And the guys that I

161
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: just named Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, and bow Knicks, I

162
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: think that we could all agree that those guys are

163
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: top ten quarter backs in this league.

164
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Hmm, So there is so there is not saying much though?

165
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Is that saying much with with the talent pool of

166
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are are in the league right now? Is

167
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: that saying that.

168
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: There there they're playoff winning quarterbacks. When is the last

169
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: time that that I don't know what the playoff Herbert is?

170
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't trust Justin Herbert yet. I don't.

171
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what Justin Herbert is. And well, you

172
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: can't you call him. You can't say is he a

173
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: bona fide franchise guy? Is Justin Herbert? I don't know

174
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: about that, no doubt. He hasn't proved it yet. He

175
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: hasn't proven it.

176
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: There's no way that you can put Kirk Cutzins in

177
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: front of Justin Herbert. No, no way, no way he's speaking.

178
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: I just I just don't. I'm not I'm not all

179
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: the way. I'm not all the way sold on Justin Herbert.

180
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Now bow Knicks. Bow Knicks has done some really really

181
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: fine things. I mean, he really has. He's he he

182
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: has fit the mold of what Sean Payton wants in

183
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: his quarterback, and I don't see that being an issue.

184
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: I think he can continue to be good and listen

185
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go down with an injury. I believe

186
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: that Denver is playing in the Super Bowl, and who

187
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: knows what that game looks like. The way you know

188
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: Denver's defense plays, so one hundred give you bow Knicks

189
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: and I'll give you the Denver Broncos. But I do

190
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: not know what the Kansas City Chiefs will be and

191
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: I honestly I do not know. Can you honestly say.

192
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: You're talking about the team about you're talking about the team,

193
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the quarterback, but.

194
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the quarterback as it applies to what

195
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: they can do as a team. So I'm kind of

196
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: I am putting them together. It is two different conversations.

197
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is is that the Chargers aren't

198
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: in spite of team like, they're not a great team

199
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: in spite of something else. They or they're a great

200
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: team because Justin Herbert is this amazing quarter Has Justin

201
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: Herbert proven that he's this amazing quarterback that can take

202
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: this Chargers team to the super Bowl? Can you honestly

203
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: say you've seen that type of player and Justin Herbert because.

204
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 4: He has everybody.

205
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: Everybody knows that Justin Herbert has all the talent in

206
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: the world, but he just hasn't been able to put

207
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: it together when it matters most being able to make

208
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: a deep money to the playoffs. But it's his first

209
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: year under hardball. I believe that he will get to

210
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: the playoffs and he's definitely a franchise quarterback. There's no

211
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: doubt about that. And when you're talking about comparing the two,

212
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: it's not even close. It tells me enough that the

213
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons were didn't want to sign or let Kirk

214
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: Cousins be their quarterback. That tells me all I need

215
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: to know, because if you look at the if you

216
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 3: look at the Las Vegas Raiders versus the Atlanta Falcons,

217
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons has made way more weapons than the

218
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Raiders, and he couldn't find a way to

219
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: make it work there. So that tells me enough about

220
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins, uh being the coaching.

221
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: Maybe that's not a fair assessment. It could have been

222
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: the coach. It could have been the coaching. But I'm

223
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: just talking about from an overall perspective as a standpoint,

224
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: they let him go, they got rid of him, Yes,

225
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: and he couldn't find a way to make that work.

226
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 3: And you know what, and and and I kind of

227
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: agree with you to the fact that maybe, uh, they

228
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: don't want to insert Fernando Mendoz into this offense, break

229
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 3: his confidence and then moving forward, Uh, you know, his

230
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 3: confidence is shattered as far as you know, becoming this

231
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: quarterback that everybody thinks that he can be. But I

232
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: can see that in Tom Brady because he didn't come

233
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 3: into the NFL his first year. The way that he

234
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: got his break was Drew blessed. Drew Bleso got hurt

235
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 3: and certain Tom Brady and the rest was history. So

236
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 3: I can see them taking the approach of kind of

237
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: baby and Mendoza along, uh, you know, learning under the

238
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: Kirk cousins, watching from the sideline and being able to, uh,

239
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: you know, see what what playing the position is all about.

240
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: So I do agree with you that to that standpoint,

241
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: because I think that I don't think that Tom just

242
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: gonna throw him in the fire or or Koubiak. They're

243
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: they're going to kind of see where he's at, and

244
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: you know, if he's not ready to go, they're not

245
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: just going to throw him to the wolves and you know,

246
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: uh and and and watch them fail.

247
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they they would be doing themselves

248
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: a favor if if they were able to give him

249
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: in those a time. If he's not ready now, time isn't.

250
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's a full season, plex. I

251
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: don't know that you can go an entire season without

252
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: playing a number one overall draft pick quarterback. Don't. I

253
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: just don't see how that is feasible. But again, I

254
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: think there could be question marks with teams in the

255
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: AFC West. As I highlighted, they'll be playing if this

256
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: is correct, and Patty tell me if I'm wrong here,

257
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: but they'll be playing against the Bills, the Dolphins, the Rams,

258
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Titans, the Cardinals, the Browns, the Patriots,

259
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: the Saints, and the Jets and the forty nine ers

260
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: outside of their divisional opponents next season. I believe if

261
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: those are the teams that they're playing, If those are

262
00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: the teams that they're playing, Miami's a win. Miami is

263
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: a win. I mean, they're gonna have their hands full

264
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: with the Bills, with the Rams, with the Seahawks. Tennessee

265
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: is a win. We don't know what the Cleveland Browns

266
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be. Arizona's probably you know, that's that's a most.

267
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean, potentially that's a win. I mean the same,

268
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna play them away, they'll play them, they'll play

269
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: them so that yeah, they'll be at home. The Arizona

270
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: will be at home for that game. And then they

271
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: have the Jets and the Niners. It's not a I

272
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: don't know what the difficulty of schedule is for them.

273
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't know that you

274
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: can go an entire season without playing Mendoza if you

275
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: draft him number one. But I still find this to

276
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: be an interesting pickup because I still believe that Kirk

277
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: Cousins has some good football left in him. Plex And

278
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: if he does have some good football left in him,

279
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: then can he can he be that bridge quarterback that

280
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: can have this this Raider team being competitive going in

281
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: the right direction almost like what almost like what Gino

282
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: did in Seattle, right Like he didn't get them to

283
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but he definitely was a bridge quarterback

284
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: to getting to Sam Darnald, who ultimately they got to

285
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: the super Bowl with Donald and that defense that they have.

286
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: So maybe he's a bridge quarterback that helps them play

287
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: a little bit better, they become a little bit more competitive,

288
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: and then Mendoza comes in, But I don't think he

289
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: goes an entire season without playing if he's a number

290
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: one overall pick y'all agree with that.

291
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: I think that you said that Kirk Cousins has some

292
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: good football left in them, and I agree with that also,

293
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 3: But I just don't think that Kirk Cousins is going

294
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 3: to walk into this situation with the Raiders current roster

295
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: and they're going to be competing for the to win

296
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: the division.

297
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't believe that.

298
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he's going to be able to go out

299
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: and win some football games and being able to manage

300
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 3: the game enough to where they can you know, it's

301
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: not the same team from last year. But I don't expect,

302
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: you know, to full Kirk Cousins to re emerge from

303
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: the dust and have one of these, you know, four

304
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: thousand yard seasons. I think he's going to go in.

305
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 3: He's going to put you know, this offense in this

306
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: team and positions to win football game, and that's going

307
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: to be the start for the Raiders. But I don't

308
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 3: expect him to be to be the best quarterback in

309
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: the division. And he's still not better than just to her.

310
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: But I don't care what you say.

311
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any reason to be down

312
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: on Kirk Cousins to the Raiders. Like if you're if

313
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: you're talking about this year's class of quarterbacks in the

314
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: free agency markets and what the possibilities of trying to

315
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: bring someone in that can improve your team. I don't

316
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: know that Kirk Cousins is a horrible pickup at the

317
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: value prop that they got them at. I just don't.

318
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Now, maybe his health will show otherwise.

319
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: He has but one though he has not he has not,

320
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: he has not, he has one. But he is a

321
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: pretty good he is a pretty good quarterback. And and

322
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: he's I mean, you're you go away from Geno Smith,

323
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: You're going to draft number one overall. I think there's

324
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: the the character aspects of Kirk Cousins that can be

325
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: in play as well. I think it's a value pick.

326
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: But we'll see, We'll see how it plays out. I mean,

327
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: at least they did something. At least they did something

328
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: to try to improve their team. You know, the Jets

329
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: are trying to improve their team to plex, but a

330
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: lot of people aren't really high on end there. There

331
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: was some uh some some harsh words that that we

332
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: were lobbed out there on them. We'll get to that

Speaker 7: it a ride.

409
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: Now, we got that out of the way. And speaking

410
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 1: of it being a football Friday, mister Stretch Armstrong, gret Byrne,

411
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: the ad of Alabama, maybe the NCAA should do away

412
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: with conference championship games. And well, I'm gonna be honest

413
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: with you, I like the conference championship game. What I

414
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: don't love is that you can actually have someone win

415
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: the national title and not even be the best team

416
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: out of their their conference. They might have not even

417
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: won their conference championship. That confuses me and it creates

418
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: an internal dilemma for myself. What's your take on it?

419
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: Do you think there should be child conference championships or

420
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: is it just kind of just is it even productive

421
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: at this point?

422
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 4: Well, I'm kind of on the fence with it.

423
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 3: What he said that about the conference championship games, because

424
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 3: because if you remember when we were in the Big Ten,

425
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: we didn't even have a championship game.

426
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah we didn't.

427
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: The Big Ten did not, And you know, you're starting

428
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: to see some of these, uh you know some of

429
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: these situations play out with these conference championship games, and

430
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: now that the college football playoffs has been expanded to

431
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: twelve games. What I didn't understand was how the University

432
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: of Virginia and Duke playing the ACC championship. Duke wins

433
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: the ACC, but they don't even get into the playoffs.

434
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that I didn't understand.

435
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: And in another scenario where the whole University of Miami

436
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 3: know the Dame thing, but Miami didn't even make it

437
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: to their own conference championship.

438
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Game, didn't even make it into the game.

439
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they get into the college football playoffs.

440
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 7: And make it to the championship, make it to the

441
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 7: national championship.

442
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: That blowed me. Nobody has yet to explain to me

443
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 4: how that occurred.

444
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: If you're not leaven your conference champion, but you make

445
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: it to the college football playoffs and on the on

446
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: the on the Notre Dame side, I know Brady would

447
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: agree with this one hundred They don't have a championship game,

448
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: but they get penalized because they're not They don't have

449
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: a championship game or in the conference. So I don't

450
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: understand that part of it. But uh, you know, for

451
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 3: the teams like in the SEC, you know, the the

452
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: SEC East and the West. They're so competitive that for

453
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 3: winning the SEC helps some of those teams get into

454
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: the college football playoffs. So I don't I don't understand it.

455
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: But if you're gonna take the conference championship away, take

456
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: it from away from every conference, or have every conference

457
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 3: playing a conference football game.

458
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: But I'm just on the fence about it.

459
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: But that whole Duke Virginia thing in Miami that this

460
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: kind of you know, somebody still has to explain that

461
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: to me how that occurred. But I kind of agree

462
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 3: with them. I kind of don't it helps some teams

463
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 3: that are on the fence. Uh you know, if you

464
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: have a you know, a tie in the SEC SEC

465
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: West and one of those teams win that that conference,

466
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: that propels them into the college football playoffs. But uh,

467
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: you know, I'm in the mixed bags of feelings about that.

468
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: I just I think that that's you make some good points,

469
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: right and and and just looking at conference championships, I

470
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: would like to if if Penn State is a dominant

471
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: football team, I would like for them to be acknowledged

472
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: as the best team and the Big Ten, and then

473
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: that makes me debate with myself, do you want to

474
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: have a conference title game so that you can actually

475
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: have a differentiator of that distinction, because if you don't

476
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: have a conference championship game, and like you mentioned, if

477
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: you do have two teams that had the same record

478
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: in the conference and conference play, then how do you

479
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: determine who the best team was? And how important is that?

480
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: I feel like for us who had played in it,

481
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: I feel like for fans toke, I think that you

482
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: want to see somebody be crowned the conference champion. I

483
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: think there's something to it. I think there's some pageantry

484
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: connected to it, and I certainly believe that it's a

485
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: level of accomplishment and distinction. I would love to be

486
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: able to say my son is a Big ten. He

487
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: can say that he's a Big ten champion. That's first

488
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: things first. Like it's almost like this is the first

489
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: order of business. I'm playing the SEC. We won our SEC.

490
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: You know, if I play in the ten, we won

491
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: the ten. And then you go into the playoffs and

492
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: all you know, all bets are off. It's a whole

493
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: new season and it's a win or go home tournament

494
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: that you're a part of. You know. I don't. It's interesting.

495
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: I felt like this year we saw the best team win,

496
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: we saw the best ten team win the Big Ten,

497
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: and we saw the best team win the national title.

498
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know that that always plays out, Like,

499
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: for instance, would you say that you looked at this

500
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: Miami team and it was like, this is the best

501
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: team all year, Like this is a really good team.

502
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: Like they and listen, Indiana had their moments. They could

503
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: have lost a few games. It took some heroics, some

504
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: late game heroics for especially here when they were in

505
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: a happy valley, for them to stay undefeated. Some things

506
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: went their way, but they dominated a lot of games

507
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: as well. I didn't, you know. I feel like Miami

508
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: got hot at the right time, and they got hot

509
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: and they were able to carry it into the tournament

510
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: and you playing the college football playoffs, and they were

511
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: were able to find their way through some really, really

512
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: tough games, some tough matchups. I just don't.

513
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: I don't.

514
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: I found myself. I don't know. And there's a lot

515
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: of people that got to figure it out. They get

516
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: paid to figure this out.

517
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how are you a nine and two football

518
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: team regular season and not in your own conference championship game?

519
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: What is that about?

520
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: Now?

521
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: I think the bigger issue here, and maybe it's just me.

522
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: I think the bigger issue here is how do you

523
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: how do you get into the college football playoff when

524
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: you're not even considered to be the best team in

525
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: your conference. That's what I'm saying. That one. That one

526
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: is strange to me because I've I've always rang the

527
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: bell that if you if you win your conference title,

528
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: that should be an automatic qualifier. You should automatically qualify.

529
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Now if you lose it. I don't know how that works,

530
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: but apparently those are the best, right correct? And they

531
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: and they said they justified it because the quarterback was

532
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: in twelve and zero think that they would be good. Yeah,

533
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: they run defeated. I just you know, it's strange to

534
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: me because if you're if you're saying, okay, that the

535
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: power for conferences, if you have two teams and in

536
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: the conference championship, wouldn't you say those are the best

537
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: two teams that the conference has to offer.

538
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and one thing, and one thing I do agree

539
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: with if if two teams that are playing in the

540
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: conference championship, the team that loses, they should not be

541
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: penalized for you for losing the championship game, and they

542
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: because they got there. Yeah, they shouldn't drop down because

543
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: they are in the polls because they lost a champion,

544
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: a conference championship game. That is, I do agree with that.

545
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't see how that If those are

546
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: the two teams that are playing for the conference, then

547
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: that means that is, those are the two teams, the

548
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: best two teams you have to offer to the college

549
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: football playoff. I don't understand how that isn't isn't feasible

550
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: to actually have that be your takeaway from from what

551
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: it is, and that that makes it a little bit confusing.

552
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, they are thinking about working to

553
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: expand the playoff field. If that, if that feel continues

554
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: to grow even where it's at right now, even where

555
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: it's at right now, Like to me, how does conference

556
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: championships define what you represent as a team, Because if

557
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: it isn't a defining if it isn't a definer for

558
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: a program, then I don't want to play in it, right,

559
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to play in it if it doesn't define.

560
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: If I don't if I'm not an automatic qualifier. I

561
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: just I mean if it's the regular season that's going

562
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: to determine if you're going to get into the playoffs,

563
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: and this committee is going to select you to get

564
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: into the college football playoffs. I almost feel as though

565
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: it takes away the level of importance of a conference championship.

566
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 3: Well, well, thinking about what you just said for the

567
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: Power for you know, conferences, if you put both teams

568
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: automatically into the call into the round of twelve, that's

569
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 3: already eight slots being taken up.

570
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: Okay, oh well you're gonna get, you're gonna get. You

571
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: already know that you're getting the best that the Power

572
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: Force had the offer. Right, that's the bottom line, Like,

573
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't even want I don't even feel like that

574
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: should be up for debate. If you are in a

575
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: Power for conference and you play in the Power for conference, uh,

576
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: conference should be an automatic bid for you for both

577
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: of them, right And I know this would drive Brady crazy.

578
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: I know this will be a crazy debate right now,

579
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: But that's what I mean. How do you not again,

580
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: if it's not justified that way, then why do you

581
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: have a conference title game? If you got to prove

582
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: out that you are the best in your conference in

583
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: granted some years, like like, who has a tough schedule

584
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: next year? There's a team in the Big Ten that

585
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: has to play I think they got to play Ohio State,

586
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: they gotta play Oregon, they gotta play Indiana. I believe

587
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: that if you get a tough draw on what your

588
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: schedule is in your conference play, I can understand if

589
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: they look at your power, your strength is schedule and

590
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you didn't play anybody, Like you made

591
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: it to the conference championship game because you didn't play anybody.

592
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: You know, because now being in power power for schools

593
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: and those conferences, there's so many teams. You got to

594
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: figure out how to do the scheduling. You figure out

595
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: how to do the scheduling. If it comes out that

596
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: you're not playing some the top teams with your schedule,

597
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: and say you go undefeed it you run the table

598
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: and in ten or in the SEC. You know, I

599
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: can understand why you be like, yeah, you shouldn't be here,

600
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: and I can make it confusing.

601
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 3: So if you take so so if you take away

602
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 3: the conference championship game, just say there's no conference championship game.

603
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 4: It's like every every school is like is an independent

604
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 4: you gotta be.

605
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 3: No, they're gonna base it off of the overall record

606
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: and the strength of schedule.

607
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: It's like everybody's independent.

608
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: You're not representing any conference because where you come from

609
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 3: doesn't no longer matters.

610
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: But that would be good for Notre Dame, of course.

611
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: It would because it's like everybody's an independent because there's

612
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: no conference champion, and they're basing it solely off of

613
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 3: your record and your strength of schedule.

614
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: And that's I think it's independence said. Independence is not

615
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: good for business. It's not good for business, Uh, not

616
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: good for TV deals, it's not good for leverage. So

617
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: we know that they have to have conferences. There has

618
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: to be conference alignment, there has to be that has

619
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: to be. But I think what you have to do

620
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: is you have to make sure when you're doing you're

621
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: creating these schedules, you got to make sure that the

622
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: sch strength of schedule for your teams is what it

623
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 1: needs to be for you to try to get as

624
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: many teams into the College Football Playoff as you possibly can.

625
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: I think that has to be the main objective if

626
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: you're one of the power for conferences. I don't know

627
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: how that plays out and how that shakes out for

628
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: for smaller programs what that even looks like. But if

629
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: you're a focus power for conference, if you're focusing in

630
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: on that, I think that that you ultimately have to

631
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: look at it from a standpoint of how are you

632
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: positioning your conference to get the most teams into the

633
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: college football playoffs Because I don't more tension on your

634
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 1: teams on your conference is going to put more money

635
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: in your pocket as you ultimately move further, you know,

636
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: further into your your contracts or your deals with with

637
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: these these major networks. That's how I would see it is.

638
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: If I'm the athletic director, I'm Greg burn. I don't

639
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 3: even know what you're complaining about. You because you got

640
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: into the set championship last year with three losses, So

641
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: I don't even know what your complaining about. You had

642
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 3: three losses and you still was able to get into

643
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 3: what the conference championship game. Yeah, I don't even know

644
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: what the guy's complaining about. So maybe that had something

645
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 3: to do with it. It's a it's a because they

646
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 3: got Georgia. They did they did, so that that had

647
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: something to do with So he's a little salty.

648
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's that's what it is.

649
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll say I'll say this, it

Speaker 6: So this is something that all of us on the

697
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 6: show can relate to on a fear here. So Carter Jensen,

698
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 6: he's a rookie catcher for the Kansas City Royals. Uh,

699
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 6: he missed the game on Thursday?

700
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: Why and no one could know why? Well? Why he overslept?

701
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 6: Wow, apparently he did not set an alarm and he

702
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 6: missed early morning curfew for it and just woke up.

703
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 6: Game's already done. So now do you understand want to

704
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 6: say this is a fear for especially for us here

705
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 6: because we're here early in the morning.

706
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: So that's a big one for you.

707
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's kind of tough. I had an incident

708
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: like that, but I didn't miss a game. I remember

709
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 3: when I was going to the NFL draft. Lee Steinberg

710
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 3: was my age down in California, So I had my

711
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 3: pro day back in East Lansing. So I flew back

712
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 3: from California to Michigan State, went to the hotel and

713
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: fell asleep and missed and missed my whole pro day.

714
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: Come on, man, I heard they just destroyed me in

715
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: the media.

716
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 3: Man.

717
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: They was like, who do you think he is?

718
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: And I missed the whole pro day, had to reschedule

719
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 3: for the next day. Bro, how you sleep? How you

Speaker 1: I know.

00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was the jet lag or

724
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 3: what happened. But I laid down in that bed in
