Speaker 3: They just over the last it's amazing.

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: Over the last two games, just completely distinguished the Padres bats.

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: The Padres looked like they were just unstoppable freight train.

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: And then the last two games they can't get anything

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: going offensively. It's the beauty of playoff baseball. October baseball.

Speaker 2: We have a game five in the American League between

Speaker 2: be for the American League see foods you want to

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: face the Yankees. The Subway Series is still alive, which

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: is uh, which actually would be kind of cool to see.

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: My friends, Can I blow your mind? Can I Can

27
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: I paint a picture? Yeah?

28
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: I mean this morning?

29
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: All right? So so here I am. I'm up in Connecticut,

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: right here. I am last night with my buddy, Geo,

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Geo's lifelong die Dodgers fan. What did I do last night?

32
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: Me?

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Of all people, I sat happy It's a little dive

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: bar in East Hartford. Sat there with my buddy, a

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: group of friends, watched every single pitch of a riveting

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: matchup between it like when you talk about extinguishing bats.

37
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: I was stunned last night in a game, in a

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: in a clinching game that meant everything for the Dodgers,

39
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: where show hey couldn't hit like they The pitching in

40
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: this thing was incredible. Give Fox a ton of credit,

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: Toude for the broadcast where they kept showing, you know

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: the fact that from the same angle the pitches were

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: going to so many different places. Guys were chasing all

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: night long. The drama in LA I me not the

45
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: semen on this show was riveted in every pitch. I

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: just like we were cheering and the whole bar was

47
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: going nuts, like it was a late night that was

48
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: worth every single ounce of the lack of sleep that

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I have gotten because I watched a just it felt

50
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: like every it felt like this is such a weird

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: analogy for a lot of people listening. It felt like

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: playoff hoigh, And what I love about the NHL in

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs is that every single time the puck is

54
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: in scoring position, it could be the absolute end of

55
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: a series. And it felt like we were watching last

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: night that man, if anybody could connect, if anybody could

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: just somehow get their bat on to make a little

58
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: bit of contact, it was gonna be the just earth

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: shattering moment, the drama in that thing. Damn Like, I mean,

60
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: just inject that in my veins. I was salivating over it.

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: I was cheering with everybody. You knowdos kudos to the

62
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: Dodgers for winning an epic that crowd, Oh God, injected

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: in my veins. I know you are stunned hearing me

64
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: say this, but my god, every single pitch of that

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: last night was just That's some of the best theater

66
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: in sports God, was great.

67
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised. You know why.

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised because it was great and you're a sportsman.

69
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: I mean no, I wasn't surprised. In fact, if you

70
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: did not have the this reaction today, I would be

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: upset and disappointed.

72
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: I am.

73
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: I am just anxious.

74
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: I Mean.

75
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: The funny thing is, I don't know what it is

76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: this year. It's just hitting different. And I wanted to

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: say well, and I wanted to say it was just

78
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: show hey, right, like, but like I because I think

79
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that maybe like me, are

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: at best casual baseball fans, and you're sitting there saying, well,

81
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: show hey in the playoffs sounds interesting, But the fact

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: that is showhy in the playoffs really hasn't been that

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: interesting so far. Like that we all know this, Like

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: like I said that, he is not the reason that

85
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: they won this series. Right, But just when you when

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: you felt like every time you got to the meat

87
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: of the lineup for both teams, you were sitting there saying, well,

88
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: this is where the damn is gonna break. This is it,

89
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: and my god, just that just the the ability for

90
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: for both teams frankly like to think that if you're

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: the Padres, you gave up two runs and that was

92
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: just suffocating two.

93
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 5: Runs off, which was they put up ten right like,

94
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: they put up six, five, right like they put up

95
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 5: crooked numbers going you know, all series long. And then

96
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 5: the next thing you know, they don't score the last

97
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 5: two games, and the lineup is ridiculous. It's unbelievable that

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: they didn't score for the last two games. And by

99
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 5: the way, they didn't score against just a bullpen. Game

100
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 5: four was a Dodgers bullpen game. Game five, Yamamoto was good.

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: He goes five innings, and it turns it back to

102
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: the bullpen. And the reason why you equate it to hockey,

103
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: which is a good analogy, is that every rush up

104
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 5: ice is a potential goal, which is a potential series changer,

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 5: which means everything. And in baseball it's every pitch, it's

106
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 5: pitch by pitch, and and then there is a chriscendo.

107
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: It happens constantly. One run can be a difference, just

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: like one goal can be the difference. It's just unbelievable.

109
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: I'm so gread listen again. I'm not surprised because I

110
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: gain I'm serious, I would have been disappointed. I'm like,

111
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: I know what kind of sportsman you are, and I'm

112
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled that you're into talking about it.

113
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they showed the graphic last night, so this

114
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: isn't revolutionary, but sixteen of the twenty four runs scored

115
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: in this series by the Dodgers were scored by home runs.

116
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: And I saw when I saw that at the end

117
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: of the game last night, my first thought was in

118
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: this game particular, particularly, they weren't fat pitches. Like I

119
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: wasn't looking at this sort of saying, well, you know,

120
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the guy screwed up, and that's just the difference in it. No,

121
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: Like there was just a couple of times that he

122
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: made contact and he was just like, wow, that was great.

123
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: Like this was nasty. Everything series nasty, Like just the

124
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: pitching was just nasty. The superstardom on both sides, like

125
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: it's just, man, it's gonna be It's gonna be wild

126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: now when you get Dodgers Mets, because there's just so

127
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: you're right, the fact that a subway series is still

128
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: alive in this thing. But now, if you're major League Baseball,

129
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what a win one way or the other

130
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: you're either gonna get the Dodgers or the Mets in

131
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: the World Series, and either way that is gonna be

132
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: absolute fire for everybody paying attention. Like it's just, man,

133
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: it feels like this is we've said it. I've said

134
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: for years, I've been doing I've been in radio full

135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: time professionally now for I think eight years, right, So

136
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: in that amount of time in my life, the number

137
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: of times we've had the conversations about how to fix

138
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: baseball and how Baseball needs to market at stars. I

139
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: just sat there last night and the funniest part to

140
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: me is I got home, you know, probably around Eastern time,

141
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: probably around midnight twelve twelve fifteen. I got home and

142
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: I sat down, and the first thought I happen when

143
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: I got home was, oh my god, I got to

144
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: check the score in the football games. What happened tonight?

145
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: And like that in my second thought was up Baseball's

146
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: marketing their stars like we were all sucked into it.

147
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's so funny just to think

148
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: about the difference on a Friday night of I'm not

149
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: sitting there as I usually would watching UNLV. I'm sitting

150
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: there saying, man, there's plenty of un LV games. There

151
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be a lot of these clinching, epic, incredible,

152
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: just every single pitch matters with star power on the

153
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: field and star power in the stands, and just the

154
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: way they painted the picture on the broadcast, got Chef's kiss.

155
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: It was just that's a perfect night for sports.

156
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: It was, it was in everything you said. The I mean,

157
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: the whole playoffs have been that way. Like I've watched

158
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: every game. It's been an incredible theater all around it.

159
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: I mean, the Mets are a great story. How they

160
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: got hot, you know, took out my Phillies, you know,

161
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: just dramatic, you know, dramatic fashion Phillies bats go quiet.

162
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: Team that had been built on big offense, they just go,

163
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: they just go silent.

164
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: I mean they can't hit the.

165
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: Mets Crafty left of the lefties who pitched with Gile right,

166
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: It's it was uh and the Mets were clutched Lindor

167
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: with the Grand Slam. I mean, you know, like you know,

168
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: to the point where like I'm dissecting that, I'm living

169
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: and dying that whole series. It was four excruciating games

170
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: on both sides in that series, and it ends with

171
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 2: you know, uh, the clothes there for the Phillies instead

172
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: of is throwing four straight fastballs to Lindor who hits

173
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: the Grand Slam. It was incredible. It was just it

174
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: was amazing. And then that Padre's Dodgers series was awesome.

175
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 6: You know, it had bad blood and Manny throwing the

176
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 6: ball that he opposing Duga out like it just was

177
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 6: you know, it was it was just incredible.

178
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: It was so such great stuff on both sides. And

179
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, I thought Padres were gonna

180
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: we're rolling in that series early, Like the way they

181
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: got off to you know, when they take the lead

182
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: to one, I'm like, there's no way they're not gonna win.

183
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna close this thing out. It was great. And

184
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: then look, if you go with Detroit, Detroit is what

185
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: a great baseball town Sportstown period, but what a great

186
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: baseball town Detroit is, and what's going on there with

187
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: this Tigers revolution, Like you go around town. I was

188
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: talking to a buddy in my covering that series and

189
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: he's like, dude, it's so cool. We go there's Tiger hats. Everywhere.

190
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: Everywhere you look.

191
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: Is a Tiger hat and dude, they have one pitcher.

192
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: What's amazing about it is they had they just roll

193
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: bullpen games and then they roll with this Terik school.

194
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: Ball who I don't think you'll get this reference.

195
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Uh Steve Carlton that do anything for you. No, No,

196
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: he was this great lefty years and years ago, big

197
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: power lefty. He's not Randy Johnson power, but just a

198
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: smooth delivery who throws hard, gets great bite on his

199
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: breaking pitch. Like it's just a great pitcher, just just

200
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: a stud. And they ride him and he's pitching today

201
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: and if he wins, and then you get Tigers Yankees,

202
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: which is a great story, or even you know, Cleveland,

203
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: who has never you know, I won it forever, you

204
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: get Cleveland Yankees. That's another good story. So either way,

205
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: I don't think baseball could lose because it's New York, Detroit,

206
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: New York, Cleveland and then La New York.

207
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

208
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: And and by the way, you know you mentioned the

209
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: flow of these series. The fact that two to one

210
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: seems to mean nothing like it is amazing to me.

211
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: The Guardians getting the felt like drama, all the drama

212
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: in a Game four, it felt like they were just

213
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: they were done Guardians felt like they were done and

214
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they find a way to

215
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: turn it around. Like same thing you mentioned, you know

216
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: the fact that the Padres went twenty four innings without

217
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: without scoring a run. I mean the Tigers, the Guardians

218
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything for a couple of games, so you

219
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: just thought, Okay, this thing is gonna be great. And

220
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: then when the Tigers absolutely had the chance to close

221
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: it out, they couldn't get it done. So now you

222
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: get this game five, and it is It is wild

223
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: to me because I mean, I think most people listening

224
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: and you both know that I'm a longtime supporter of

225
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: the w in in many ways, like I've watched a

226
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: lot of WNBA over the years and have covered that

227
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: league at different times for ESPN when I was working there.

228
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: And what's funny to me is I've sat there and

229
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: watched some of these best of five series in the

230
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: w and I've been like, I don't know, Like they've

231
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: just announced that the conference finals are going to go

232
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: to best to seven and all of these things, and

233
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: the finals are going to go to best to seven,

234
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: and I sat there and thought, Yeah, that's that's the

235
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: right thing to do. Because best of five just doesn't

236
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: feel right. And then I'm sitting here watching baseball and

237
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: best of five in this series, and I'm thinking, my god,

238
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: I love this round being best of five because it

239
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: just means every game just has more drama. To me,

240
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: it just has more meaning, more impact. There's if you

241
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: feel like in the best of five, anything can happen.

242
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: And you know, you look at this Tigers series, and

243
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: I think the Tigers it's not exaggerated to say they're

244
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: kind of America's team on this Everybody loves the fact that,

245
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, look at the Tigers being here. So yeah,

246
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: the chance for the team that America has galvanized around

247
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: taking on, you know, the bad guys and the Yankees.

248
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: For God, give that to me. Give that to me

249
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: all day long, and frankly, give that to baseball, you know,

250
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: because Baseball gets a win win out of that. If

251
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: they get Tigers Yankees, no matter what the outcome is,

252
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: it's going to give you a classic World Series story.

253
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: So it's just there is something about this year. Usually

254
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: in the first round of the playoffs, you and I

255
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: can come together and we have a quick, pretty quick

256
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: idea of Okay, here's here's who's good, here's who's not good.

257
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: But more importantly, here's who's hot. Here's who's not hot,

258
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: And that's going to be something that matters the rest

259
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: of the way. This this round, particularly, hot never mattered.

260
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: Hot didn't seem sustainable in most of these series. It's

261
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: just everything is so game to game. It just it

262
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: makes it hit different.

263
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really does. You know, it's funny. I don't

264
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: know how I feel about the Best of Five. I

265
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: don't like it. I mean, yeah, I think it added

266
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: it always adds urgency, but it adds also adds randomness,

267
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: and which I don't like. After one hundred and sixty

268
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: two game season, like baseball, really like the baseball. If

269
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna be honest, right, you got to choose who

270
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: you are right now.

271
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: Now.

272
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: I love October baseball, right, I just I love it.

273
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: It's the best theater. And so where baseball runs into

274
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: trouble is when it's it gets monotonous, right, you know,

275
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: it's also it's the beauty of it, but it's also

276
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: excuse me, the monotony of it. And either you are

277
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: what you are, which is truly the sport, which is

278
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: you You're it's about you know, over a long period

279
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: of time, which in this case, you can't have five

280
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: games series and you really shouldn't even have division series,

281
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: or you cut their regular season games down and you

282
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: go all in and you go all in on this,

283
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: you know, incredible tournament, and you know you expand the playoffs.

284
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: So everything you're saying is so smart for people that

285
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: love baseball, And I think this is one thing I

286
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: love about the show, like we never sort of hide

287
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: what we love, what we don't love, what we're into,

288
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: what we're not into. But it creates a very real

289
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: dynamic in this conversation because Baseball has I think made

290
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: a decision in the way they've pattern their playoffs that frankly,

291
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: they want to make sure they get through as many

292
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: casuals as possible, and so randomness is disrespectful to sport

293
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: more often and then not, but randomness is the very

294
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: thing that really truly causes people to absolutely flock to

295
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: so many sports. And I will always use the one

296
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: glaring example of an undefeated Patriots team that most of

297
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: the world that hadn't watched even any football was rooting

298
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: against in a Super Bowl. Because you don't want the

299
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: best champion you want the outcome that's going to be historic.

300
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: And sometimes in these situations, what you're saying is is

301
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: smart and it's right for baseball, and it's respectful to

302
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: the entire process of the season that got them to

303
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: where they are. But for me, it comes in that's

304
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: far less of a baseball fan, and I just want

305
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: to see absolute, you know, hair standing up on your neck.

306
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: I can't believe you get that. Yeah, like you get

307
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: here's my only my only, My only.

308
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: Thing with that is you can't have chaos every year

309
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: or else there is chaos doesn't mean anything, right, like

310
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: the Patriots sometimes have to win. When you're looking at

311
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: the script, it's like a film, right, like you you

312
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: can't Sometimes the obvious has to happen so everything else

313
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: is believable. Also to protect the future, because otherwise you go,

314
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, You're like the NFL is close to

315
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: being at now.

316
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: Where you go, I don't know.

317
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: Week the week is insane, like you who knows who

318
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: could win? And some of it's good, but some it's like,

319
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: well what am I really seeing? What am I really

320
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: looking at? Where is true greatness? That's why dynasties are good.

321
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: That's why the NBA. You know why the NBA is

322
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: so popular, Partly it's because of the dynasty effect, because

323
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: there is such greatness that we've seen in that league.

324
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: And it's all about knocking Lebron James off of perch, right,

325
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: whether it's it's dynastic or whether it's superstar driven, right,

326
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: you know, knocking the Warriors off, knocking off the Bulls

327
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: like those and those things mattered.

328
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Yea. Heroes and villains are easily defined when you have

329
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: that sustained. And I definitely agree with what you're saying

330
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: that that is an interesting counterpoint to all of it,

331
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: because you know, I think you're right. I'm living totally

332
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: only in the moment of right now, you know. And

333
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: the fact is that randomness in the moment of right

334
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: now feels really good. But if you want that randomness,

335
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: if you want that feeling, I should say to maintain

336
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: for years to come. There is some there's value to

337
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: what you're saying, Like, you're absolutely right. I hadn't thought

338
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: of it that way, but you are absolutely right.

339
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: We got lots to get to. We will talk football. Obviously,

340
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: big day college football. There's some big games today. Headliner

341
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Oregon duck Eyes. That's right, Ducks and buck

342
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: Eyes class tonight. That's gonna be great, and lots of

343
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: good stuff to get to, of course, all the NFL

344
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: will get to. But I do love this baseball discussion.

345
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm thrilled. Shout out to my man David Saghee.

346
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: Who is you know, David. He's a dear friend of mine.

347
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: He's driving back from the Padres game now. He played

348
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: what Daved played thirteen years in the Biggs. I don't

349
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: play upa he played with played with the Mets. In fact,

350
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: when I was covering the Mets years ago, David and

351
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: I became really good friends. He played for gez Orioles

352
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 2: in the Indians Blue Jays expos. I mean, he's had

353
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: a he's had a great career, great hitter. And he's

354
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: driving back and he's like, is that you on the

355
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: air right now? I'm like, yeah, it's me and FITZI

360
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: All right, Well up the back, Fellas, Jason fitz Anthony

361
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: Gargano after a thrilling night in Los Angeles one. They

362
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 2: look at it like it's a thrilling evening as Fitzy

363
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: and I look at it and go wow.

364
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: Then it was like white knuckle hitting right.

365
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: White knuckle hitting is when you grip the bat, you're

366
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: so tight that you're gripped the bat and you go

367
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 2: to the you go to the plate and you're tight.

368
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: And that was clearly the Padres. The Dodgers used thirteen

369
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: pictures in two games against San Diego, thirteen pictures. There

370
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: were bats where they were gripping it. Man, there's an

371
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: old saying about getting about turning the bat into saw

372
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: dust because the moment was so big that you're gripping

373
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: the bat so tight that you're turning into sawdust.

374
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: And that's what the Padres did.

375
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Man.

376
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: Two games could not score. And again, that's a great lineup.

377
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 2: It's a lineup that a Rise who just always got hits,

378
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: and Tatise who was on fire for the first couple

379
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: of games, and Machado and Jackson Merrill the young wonder kid,

380
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: it was incredible, and Profar who had the big year

381
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: coronin Worth.

382
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: I mean you just go on and on and on.

383
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: I mean, they have a really good lineup, FITZI saying

384
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: they just went cold.

385
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Stick there for a second though, because you know, we

386
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: got a good question from Thomas on Twitter X who

387
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: was asking basically why all the love for this series

388
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: and every name you just mentioned, you know, Tatis, Machado,

389
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: all these things, these stories that have been told about

390
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: these guys for years make them stars, right, there's no

391
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: doubt about it. I think what really hit different about

392
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: this entire series, especially for me. All I can speak

393
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: to is that when you have a draw like show

394
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: Hey related to a movie, you have like the biggest

395
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: actor in the history of actors that it's going to

396
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 1: be in this movie, and so you're flocking to it,

397
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: and then all of these other A listers in the

398
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: minds of baseball fans, you know, all of the names

399
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, plus you add on Mooki and the

400
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: rest of the Dodgers, right, Like Dodgers have so many

401
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: big names, there's there's very little time in them a

402
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: game like we saw last night where somebody is at

403
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: bat that if you're not a massive fan, you don't

404
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: know them, you don't know about them. You don't know

405
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: who they are. That's the level of star power they

406
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: hit in the series, and I think that's part of

407
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: why it hits so differently. It's not just star power

408
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers side and star power on the Padres side,

409
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: and the fact that we've been telling these stories about

410
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: the Padres for the last few years while we sort

411
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: of amp up for the money they've spent and the

412
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: team that they've tried to become, right, So it just

413
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: part of why it hit different was not just that

414
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: they were turning the bats into sawdust, which I love

415
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna steal. I'm gonna say all the time

416
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: in a sports bar now. It's also just that these

417
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: are big name, oh my god, guys that we hear

418
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: about all the even casual fans know these names over

419
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: and over and over again. So when the biggest start

420
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: in the world in your sport is why people are

421
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: flocking to this these games many times. But also everybody

422
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: else happens to just be a you know, a relative

423
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: household name in that sport. I just think that's part

424
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: of why this entire thing hit differently. It wasn't watching

425
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to say the implosion because that doesn't

426
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: give credit, but watching the padres not be able to

427
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: deliver is one thing. Watching stars on the padres just

428
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: not be able to figure out. The pitching of the

429
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Dodgers was electric, right, because you really do believe at

430
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: any point that one of these guys is going to

431
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: break through, because you know, at a very core level,

432
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: even if you don't know baseball, you've heard of some

433
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: of these guys. You're like, I know that guy is

434
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: he's going to get a hit here, No he isn't,

435
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Like over and over and over again. That just it

436
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: felt like it was the adrenaline was backing up and

437
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: up and up of whether or not somebody was going

438
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: to be able to get, you know, a hit. That

439
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: eighth run, I think he was eight run home run

440
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: eight thing, I should say home running for the Dodgers

441
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: was such a release of energy because you've just been

442
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: waiting for somebody to make contact with the ball on

443
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: either side. So I think that's just a big part

444
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: of why this one hit differ.

445
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.

446
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: But you know, we were gonna to our friend it

447
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: was a Thomas on X, so to our buddy Thomas,

448
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: you know, like we're gonna hit the other series too,

449
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: like I I mean, I think they were all pretty good.

450
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 2: I mean, the Mets were a great story. There were

451
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: a great story to Mets, and you know how they

452
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 2: just you know, they were laid for dead. I mean,

453
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: nobody thought that the Mets would make a run, let

454
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: alone beat the Phillies, who had the second best record

455
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: in baseball, who were just this unstoppable force for much

456
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: of the year. And then you know, baseball is a

457
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: game where you get hot and the whole thing. Hey,

458
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: let's uh, let's get the update and and we'll we'll continue.

459
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: But like to your point, you're right, like show hey,

460
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 2: and it's La, it's San Diego, like it was a

461
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: holy war right between San Diego and La. That's a

462
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,600

Speaker 2: Right, buddy, thank you Fellas Live from the Tiraq dot

493
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: Com Studios. Jason Fitz Anthony Garganel, Yeah, it's you know,

494
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: I get excited sometimes, becall and you're right about this

495
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: FITSI it is a little different.

496
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 3: It feels a little different this year than in years past.

497
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: And it probably has to do with show Hay And

498
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: you know, the fact that you had two great matchups

499
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 2: like the Holy War of La San Diego and New

500
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: York Philadelphia on the other coasts add something to it, right,

501
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: And then in the Midwest you had it with the

502
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: Tigers and Cleveland, right, Detroit Cleveland is fantastic, and in

503
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 2: the Kansas City was a really good story. So you

504
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: had all the teams that made it were really really

505
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: kind of cool stories, each in their own. I mean,

506
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 2: the Mets, I can't say enough about it as much

507
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 2: as like the long term, we're like a long time rival, right,

508
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: Phillies and Mets and all, and we joke around and all.

509
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: But that that whole that team is a great story.

510
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: What they did.

511
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they were about to be eliminated by Milwaukee

512
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: when Alonso saves them, right, like the guy that was

513
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: had his foot out the door save them.

514
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: I mean you can't make it up.

515
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: And then he had a couple of big home runs

516
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: in the in the in the series, they are looking

517
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: at Zach Wheeler, a former Met who is seven innings

518
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: of one hit ball, eleven strikeouts. They can't touch them.

519
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: And then they get to the Phillies bullpen and they

520
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: steal a game one. They lose Game two, and then

521
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: they go to city Field and protect home field in

522
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: front of uh, you know, a stadium field of grimaces.

523
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: Right.

524
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: They're able to They're able to be all kinds of theater.

525
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: They they lead the bases loaded twice in Game four,

526
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: which usually when you squander those opportunities always bite you.

527
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: And the last time the bases loaded, there's Lynn Door

528
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: who has been like who's had a renaissance to his

529
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: self what he was at Cleveland. And they they are

530
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: they're able to pull it out. It's a great it's

531
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: a great story. And the Dodgers Mets is like a

532
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 2: great historic rival.

533
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: You know, there's a movie FITSI.

534
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: Where Dodgers Mets are are the in the in the background.

535
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: They're actually a subplot of the movie. It's called Bad Lieutenant.

536
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: Did you ever see it?

537
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: God, I haven't seen Bad Lieutenant in years. You know,

538
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: I definitely I definitely saw Bad Lieutenant Harvey Kayitel Yep, yep, yep.

539
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: That was like back in the nineties, right.

540
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, So it was like a little

541
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: it was like an indie film. Harvey kytell Is is

542
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: a dirty cop, like a dirty detective, nasty, right, and

543
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: it's like a few days in his life and he's

544
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: one of these dudes who's a bad, dirty cop and

545
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: and thus bad detective, bad lieutenant. And he's betting on

546
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: the Mets Dodgers series, and so you the whole bag.

547
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: He's losing like huge subs of money and.

548
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: Like you see Strawberry and all the stuff, it's and

549
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: he's he's like dying and he's you know, it's a

550
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: it's a great story. It's like dirty, it's a it's

551
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: a muck story. But it's uh, it's like really gritty

552
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: and all but the Dodgers Mets. Because of that nineteen

553
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: eighty eight season when Strawberry goes from you know to

554
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: in La and it's Mets.

555
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.

556
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you start talking about what we've

557
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: had so far and why it's resonated, I'm a big

558
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: believer that it's better to be lucky than good. And

559
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: when you look at what we've had through the DS

560
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: in general. All Right, you're talking about Phillies Mets, you're

561
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: talking about a rivalry, you're talking about regionality, but you're

562
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: also talking about national understanding of the regional rivalries. So

563
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: that's like easy. I believe in being able to quickly

564
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: explain why something is important or quickly, like, if you

565
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: can sum it up in one sentence, then you've got

566
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: you've got gold. I don't care if we're talking about

567
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: a music act. I've said this for years about country music, right,

568
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: Like one of the things about country music is you

569
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: can say he's the beach country guy, and it's like, oh,

570
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: that's Kenny Chesney, He's the eighties rock country guy. That's

571
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: Jason Aldean, he's the guitar playing country guy. That's Brad

572
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: Paisley or Keith Thurmant Like, just if you can say

573
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: it in one sentence, you've hit gold. Right, And so

574
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: you can sum up why Phillies Mets matter in one sentence.

575
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: You can sum up why Dodgers Padres matter regionally and

576
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: nationally in one sentence. Right. You you mentioned earlier, the

577
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: Guardians and the Tigers. It's it's not hard to sit

578
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: there and think about the lovable losers, not said harshly,

579
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: but that we perceive the city of Cleveland to be

580
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: as a sports city, and then Detroit captures the the

581
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, the love of everybody. Two Midwest towns that

582
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: really care about baseball that are getting this moment, Like,

583
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: it's just easy to look at it and me like, Okay,

584
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: if you and I would just implore super fans sometimes

585
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: just take your hat off and ask your super fan

586
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: hat off and ask if you don't care about your sport,

587
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: if you didn't care about baseball, why would you care

588
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: about this series. Baseball gets that every once in a while,

589
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: usually in the playoffs. To me, this year, it's pretty

590
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: easy to see why they've had it in every series, right,

591
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: Like the Yankees are the Yankees, so the Yankees are

592
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: always going to be the Yankees. But Dodgers, Padres, Phillies, Mets, Guardians, Tigers,

593
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: each of those three series have such easy storylines to

594
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: look at you like, ye hit a home run with

595
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: that one like, and this is one of those rare

596
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: moments for all the conspiracy theorists that think that every

597
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: sport is fixed. This is one of those rare moments

598
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: where baseball just got lucky. The storylines on every one

599
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: of these are really good, and the baseball's been really good.

600
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: And if you can get into this situation where it's like, yeah,

601
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: teams backs up against the wall and somehow they survive

602
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: and now we're getting a dramatic game Game five, Like

603
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: my god, that's just to be lucky with the storyline

604
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: and then to get meaningful games from both sides where

605
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: stars have shown out and pitching has been great, but

606
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: you've also had these dramatic late ending moments. Just that

607
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: you're getting a Disney movie in every one of these things,

608
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: and that's just man. Capitalize on it and love it

609
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: and appreciate the wave.

610
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you gotta you gotta Disney. You got

611
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: a Disney movie this afternoon. I mean, how about a

612
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: one aweight start in Cleveland? I mean, are you kidding me?

613
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: First of all day after Saturday afternoon baseball in the

614
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: era of prime time, right, you got a game five,

615
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,479
Speaker 2: And I got news for you. This game today is

616
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: going to be incredible. You got the Guardians at home, right,

617
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: which is you know with that lineup. Ramirez has come

618
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: to life now against the best young pitcher in baseball

619
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: Intreak Schoolball. I mean, that's a that's that's incredible.

620
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: Man.

621
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: That goes back to your point of you know, even

622
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: if you're not, if you're a casual, you got to

623
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: go well all the college football today. That's got to

624
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 2: be your click rotation and you make click and stick.

625
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, also doesn't hurt that by starting

626
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: at one o'clock they're not I mean, what do we

627
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: have ranked matchups, so that'll be going on. We have

628
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: Alabama versus South Carolina, Clemson versus Wake Forest, Like it's

629
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: pretty easy to find multiple screens when the college football

630
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: slate doesn't really get rolling until mostly either mid afternoon.

631
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you got the Red River rava. That's a

632
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: great day, right Texas Oho, so you know those are

633
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: pretty good, and uh that those are and then tonight

634
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous, right because you know, Ohio State and Oregon

635
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 2: and Old Miss and LSU is fantastic. But you're right, like,

636
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: you don't you could sit and all these these new

637
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: games they're all right, there's nothing they're not, you know, gripping,

638
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: So you can sit and watch and enjoy, you know,

639
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: that game, and then go right into college football.

640
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: Here.

641
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 3: We're gonna take quick t o.

642
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: We'll come right back where the fella is hanging out

643
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back, fellas from

644
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: the ti raq dot com studios. Well, you're at the

645
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: bar last night watching the game, which is great. So, uh,

646
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: there's nothing better than the communal aspect. You and I

647
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: were talking about this off air, which is the communal

648
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 2: aspect of the sports bar, right like where everybody can

649
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: get together and whether it's you know, your local corner bar,

650
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: like your your local right your local joint.

651
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 3: You see a place where everybody get to get together

652
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 3: and watch the games.

653
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: There's something about the energy, and you're right communal is

654
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: So I go through this debate every years of football

655
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: fanatic because I buy the Sunday ticket on YouTube TV

656
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: every year and every year, you know, because I'm the

657
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: first to admit I probably shouldn't be in public when

658
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: I watch the Raiders game. My mouth is pretty offensive.

659
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: You know. I'm teaching kids new words every every single

660
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: drive because my team's no good and frankly, even when

661
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: they are good, I'm still you know, dropping f bombs

662
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: at my television because I'm excited. So either way, I'm

663
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: the first to admit that, you know, sometimes maybe I

664
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in public, but there is something about sitting,

665
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, and watching in that group with everybody and

666
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, shout out to by the way, Dave and

667
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: Busters like that. So down in Nashville, where you know,

668
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: as you know and many people know I live for

669
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: a long time in Nashville, there's a huge Dave and Busters.

670
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: And I learned when I moved to Connecticut not all

671
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: Dave and Busters and moved them or made the same

672
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: like the one in Connecticut much smaller. It's not as

673
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: close to my house. All these things. But Dave and

674
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: Busters used to have the little speakers that you could

675
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: put on every single booth, so when you came in,

676
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: you could anywhere and they'd have, you know, these huge

677
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: monstrous TVs in this gigantic open era, and then you

678
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: just tell the server to you, ask the server for

679
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: one of the little speakers, put it on your table,

680
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: and then you could tune it to any TV so

681
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: you could be in a communal atmosphere and you could

682
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: actually listen to your game while it's happening. So you

683
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: could still hear the audio. That is like the closest

684
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: to you know, sex and watching sports I've ever experienced.

685
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: That is perfect, That is absolute, Like that is it,

686
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: my friend? Like when you can hear your game but

687
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: you can still be around people that are cheering and

688
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: yelling for their game constantly. I think that is one

689
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: of the most beautiful things you could ever ever have

690
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: as a sports fan. And the vibe just HiT's different.

691
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: It does.

692
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: It does so without further ado, I need to find

693
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 2: out what you what you did the sports bar right.

694
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: This journey update.

Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, no, the sports bar. Last night I

697
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: had soda waters. I did have a Heineken zer rope

698
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: because you know, no no alcohol since mouth, I haven't

699
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: had a Heineken zero. Because it makes you feel a

700
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: little bit like you're part of the community, tracted with

701
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: my macros. You will be proud to understand. You'll understand

702
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: this more than most people for anyone listening. Yes, I

703
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,239

704
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,240

00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: my entire body. I look like a new human being.

706
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: I will say this. In the last two and a

00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: like this is the best thing. I shaved my head

712
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: In case anyone hasn't seen it on social media, I

713
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: just decided I was done with the faux hawk thing,

714
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: so I just shaved it off about a week and

715

746
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: Com studios, tire Raq dot Com an unmet selection, fast

747

Speaker 2: free shipping, free road as a protection over ten thousand

748
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 2: recommended installers. Ti Raq dot Com the way tire buying

749
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: should be spent the first hour really talking a lot

750
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: about baseball, man, because Baseball's forefront October. You know, weird

751
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: things happen in October. It's the month of mystery, and

752
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 2: it certainly has been that way in the playoffs so

753
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 2: far as the the I didn't expect the Padres lineup

754
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: to just fizzle like that was the thing that surprised

755
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: me the most was that, you know, we thought this

756
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: October would be Otani and Judge, right, but it's really

757
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: been an ode to small ball and scratch it out

758
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: and runs. It's uh, it's been a real sea change.

759
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: It's very interesting.

760
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: Do you think that sustains though, for the rest of

761
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Like, because because you're right, But the question is,

762
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: is that what this playoff is going to be?

763
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 2: No, I mean I think that changes series. The series

764
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Mets Dodgers is going to be amazing. I mean,

765
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: I think that's that's going to be a great series.

766
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: It's it's a really good match with the Mets are hot,

767
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: they're they're you know, almost playing blessed uh in a way,

768
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: and listen, they deserve to beat the Phillies.

769
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 3: They they were the better team.

770
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: And you know, I mean looking at it, you know,

771
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: completely objective. I mean they were the better team. They

772
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 2: they got timely hitting. They're then lineup right now, that's

773
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: seeing the ball. Well, if you look at the Mets,

774
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: you know, you start with Lindor. They have a kid

775
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 2: named Vientos who is their third baseman, who's.

776
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 3: Really good, really good.

777
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: He's almost under the radar, which is odd for a

778
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: player in New York, who is just a hell of

779
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 2: a ballplayer. Man, he had two home runs in Game one.

780
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 2: I guess it was in Game two. He's just locked

781
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 2: into play. These terrific Nemo Alonzo Iglesias. I mean they

782
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: come at you man, they're they're pesky, and they're good,

783
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: and they got some decent pitching. So they're gonna give

784
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: the Dodgers every bit of you know, as regal as

785
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are. And we saw Bets who had a

786
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: slow start to the series and then he got hot

787
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: with a couple of home runs. And you know, the

788
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 2: Dodgers had those huge bats with Otani and Betts and

789
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 2: thee Oscar who hit one last night right and will

790
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: Smith and and Freeman, so like they had that major

791
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: you know, major major lineup.

792
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 3: But Mets pitching too, is they pitch with.

793
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: A lot of guyle, with a lot of with a

794
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: lot of uh uh misdirection. Like they have a kid,

795
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 2: this shaulman I who reworked himself. It's a great story, dude,

796
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: listen to this. In July, he changed his whole motion,

797
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 2: his delivery. Now that's unheard off for a picture. He

798
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: used to throw more over the top, all right. He

799
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: dropped his arm angle really pretty dramatically. So by dropping

800
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 2: his arm angle, he changed everything. He got his stuff

801
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 2: got better, he got a little more velocity. And not

802
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: to get all see me on you, but he throws

803
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: uh you know, like a fastball. You have a four

804
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: seam fastball, two seamed fastball right the plant. Depending on

805
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: your glip and your grip and his two you've seen fastball.

806
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: The two seam will make it run. It moves right,

807
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: four seems straight. You could throw it with harder velocity.

808
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: The two seam has a lot of run in it.

809
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: And by dropping his angle, his two seamer got a

810
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 2: lot of movement. He's really hard to hit, and he

811
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 2: was he really shut down the Phillies. Really, Dan, I'm

812
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 2: acxious to see how he'll do against Otani and the Dodgers.

813
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: It's wild when you think about making that sort of

814
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: a change in a season.

815
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 3: Right, they've never had it.

816
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: Just think about, you know, for everybody that's used to

817
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: tuning in and hearing us talk mostly football, just think

818
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: about a quarterback completely changing their footwork and their arm

819
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: delivery in the middle of you know, practices that are

820
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: going the way that they usually go in the middle

821
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: of a season where you know, frankly, whenever you're in

822
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: a game, things go back to what you like. Your

823
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: habits become part of what makes change difficult. You know,

824
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: it's you're in a game, you're in a tight situation.

825
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: You need to do what you do right. So I

826
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: just that's of a change, transformation is absolutely wild to

827
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: think of somebody doing it in season, and then to

828
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: think of what a difference it makes for the team.

829
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: It's this is crazy. And you know you talk about

830
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: the pitching. I for one, found myself as the game

831
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: was wrapping up last night for the Dodgers, thinking, man,

832
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: what a just a you know, lucky moment, what a

833
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: absolutely like the sporting God smiling on this team that

834
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: as many pitchers as they've used that they only they

835
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: get to keep in rhythm. The fact that the series

836
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: starts on Sunday. They don't have a massive six seven

837
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: game or six seven day rest anything like that. You know,

838
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they get to keep in rhythm, I

839
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: think is important because frankly, they're hot right now. I

840
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: want to capitalize whenever, my if, my entire rotation, my

841
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: entire bullpend is that hot. I want to keep those

842
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: guys going at that pace. So I think a big

843
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: advantage for them that they don't have a big layoff

844
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: coming in before Sunday.

845
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

846
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, man, I'm completely with you. I mean,

847
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's it's pretty cool, man, have a

848
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 2: whole thing. And you know, I don't know why stuff

849
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: changes year to year. Like I mean, I could tell you,

850
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 2: as someone who watches the playoffs every year that it's

851
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 2: always really good. I could see that this year, and

852
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's just because we're going through

853
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: it in the recency bias of it, but this year

854
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 2: feels a little more special. But I mean, I think

855
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: it's like that every year. I'll be honest with you, Like,

856
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 2: I love it. I mean, I love October. I mean,

857
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: quite frankly, if it's up to me, if I was

858
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: the baseball zar, I would pair off. I would play

859
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty six games, and I would then

860
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 2: I would start the playoffs in the middle of September.

861
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: If not that, you know, second, you know, a little earlier,

862
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: like around September tenth would run seven game series through

863
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 2: in the end of October.

864
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm the dying on the hill that I do.

865
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: I like the five game you know me, but I

866
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: love your idea of give me playoffs right out of

867
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: the gate as soon as we're as soon as possible

868
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: when you're competing against college football in the NFL. I

869
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: do love that, Like, you know, I don't.

870
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 2: Want to rush through it too, Like there's a degree

871
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: of rushing through it, Like a five game series feels

872
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: like a rush right, like they used to do and

873
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: it was. I mean, think about the wild card, dude,

874
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: the wild Cards. Best of three.

875
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like best of three. Best of five

876
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: feels to me like it's the perfect sort of split

877
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: on it for these, you know, for the early rounds.

878
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: Best of three is just so freaking arbitrary, Like that's

879
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: that's too much.

880
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 2: You know, that's the line I mean stupid, and that's

881
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: why you got to pair down. You know, you peer

882
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 2: down this season so you don't make it, you know, ridiculous.

883
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: And you also need time to run your playoff format.

884
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: And then you run your playoff format and you know,

885
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: like September and October, and that's that's even way better

886
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: because that's the greatest part of the game. When the

887
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 2: game slows down and the game is pitch by pitch,

888
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 2: that's what it's fun to watch. Nobody cares about, like

889
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: in July and August. Right, you're going, oh my god,

890
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: you know, the games could go on forever or nobody's

891
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 2: playing with urgency right now, you got urgency. So why

892
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: would you Why do you why do you not want to?

893
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: Why do you want to rush through that? Like to me,

894
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,959
Speaker 2: if I was a Zara baseball, the rhythm works great.

895
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 2: I start in April. People are excited, Right, I got

896
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: the whole spring spring baseball. Right, I do my July

897
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: fourth and right, I'm in August. By the time August

898
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 2: rolls around and I'm in the dog days. Next thing,

899
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 2: you know, I got the playoffs start in September.

900
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: No, I do like that and you know it's one

901
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: of those things right now. It hit me last week

902
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: as we've now watched the opening of the NHL season,

903
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: and I genuinely laugh out loud at it. Like the

904
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: concept of trying to compete, like I do, think every

905
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: sport should look at it and say, Okay, what serves

906
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: our fans the most and also helps us continue to grow.

907
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: Not the NFL, because the NFL can do whatever the

908
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: hell they want to, like it doesn't really matter. The

909
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: NFL can do whatever they want to and it's always

910
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: going to win. And I think college football is almost

911
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: to that point too, Like we've seen mass change in

912
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: college football and it really doesn't matter that the numbers

913
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: are huge on it because college football is wild and

914
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: unprecedented this year also, and so people are gonna flock

915
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: to it. I think for everybody else, you gotta look

916
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: in the mirror. You gotta be honest with yourself, and

917
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: you got to figure out what then helps growth but

918
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: also still serves your fan base. Like you mentioned shortening

919
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: the season, I'm long since as hockey guy. By the way,

920
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: before anybody blows me up on social media, I have

921
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: long since believed that you know, hockey would benefit from

922
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: cutting the season in about half and starting the playoffs

923
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: at a time where you know, maybe they can wow

924
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: really yeah, yeah, I'm I'm yeah, there's just there's too

925
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: many games. Really, you can't start hockey in October and

926
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: end in you know, June and have it really matter

927
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: to most people. And the fact is is the regular

928
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: season has become so meaningless because the playoff season is

929
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: so long, like it is the second season of hockey.

930
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I don't necessarily think that's a

931
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: great thing. I don't think it's a great thing that

932
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: your playoffs.

933
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like if you think about it, right,

934
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 2: the NBA, you know, I mean.

935
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: I cut the NBA season and half to personally.

936
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I about half. You know, I think you could

937
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 2: lop you know, you know, I don't know. I mean

938
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 2: where they play now eighty there's eighty games in a

939
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 2: hockey eighty two games.

940
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: Forty four in hockey.

941
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: You could take used to be eighty eighty four four

942
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 2: used to be eight, It used to be eighty. If

943
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 2: the NBA is always eighty two, you can lop off,

944
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 2: you know, you want to make it, you know, sixty eight,

945
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 2: you know something like that.

946
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 3: I mean I get that.

947
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 2: The only thing is, you know, like you need you

948
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: need the TV contract, the local TV contracts matter, right, like.

949
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know all the business of it.

950
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: Like I get what you were saying about the randomness,

951
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 2: randomness of it, and it gets lost. Both the NBA

952
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 2: and the NHL get lost in October. I mean, hockey

953
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 2: should start in October, Basketball should start Christmas Day or

954
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, or I would start you know what,

955
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 2: I would start it because we talked about Christmas Day before.

956
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: I would start it h MLK day, right, like it's

957
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 2: a it's a Monday, January, and because football's taking over

958
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 2: Christmas in New Year's right, So I would go, MLK,

959
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 2: make it a Monday. You own the whole thing from

960
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: you own the whole day, and you run it from that.

961
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 2: And I would run it again. I would push it

962
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 2: back and run through the summer when there's when there's

963
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 2: nothing you know, going on other than baseball. You got

964
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs, and it takes you right into the start

965
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 2: a football season.

966
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. And one thing that I think is interesting about

967
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: your point with with summer baseball, It's like, look, summer

968
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: baseball to me is like bar rescue and Law and Order.

969
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: I've seen almost every episode. I've seen every episode of

970
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: Bar Rescue for sure, and probably almost every episode of

971
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: the original Law and Order. Yet if I'm just sitting

972
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: around the house and I got nothing going on, and

973
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm you know, peddling around cleaning or whatever, I turn

974
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: one of those shows on because I don't really have

975
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: to listen to it, don't really have to pay attention

976
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: to it. It's just background noise. That's what summer baseball is.

977
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: It makes us feel good that there's sport's going on,

978
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: but it's just background noise, like most people are not

979
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: sitting down, you know, gravitating towards hearing about every single

980
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: pitch of a you know, mid July matchup between the

981
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: Brewers and Cups. It's just not happening. So, you know,

982
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: I don't know that for me personally, I don't know

983
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: that what I love I would ever want to just

984
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: be background noise. Like I don't want I don't want

985
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: my sport to be John Taffer. I love, I love you, John,

986
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: but I don't want I don't want sports to be

987
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: John Taffer.

988
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 2: That's a great analogy, Yeah, it really is. It's a

989
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 2: great analogy, all right, well, we're gonna turn our attention

990
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 2: to football, and we got a couple of big games.

991
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Ohio State and Oregon. This is

992
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 2: gonna be fun. Dude, this is a great game.

993
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

994
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: And look, I picked Oregon to go to win the

995
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 1: Natty early before the season started. Thought with the explosive

996
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: play makers, and you know, I believe in Dan Landing,

997
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: their head coach. And you know you've got a transfer

998
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: quarterback that's supposed to be Heisman helpful. I really I

999
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: thought this guy was the limit for Oregon. They just

1000
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: haven't put it together yet this year. And I would

1001
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: beg people to look past just the completion percentage for

1002
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel, the quarterback of Oregon. I know, the completion

1003
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: percentage looks good, the throats don't like just accuracy issues

1004
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone in the first half against Michigan

1005
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: State sort of echoes some of what we've seen throughout

1006
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: the course of the year. I just Dylan Gabriel is

1007
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: not playing smart enough football when it matters the most.

1008
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: So I'm really interested because look, I think Oregon could

1009
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 1: beat the pants off at anybody if they put it together.

1010
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: But I think it's also fair to say, they haven't

1011
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: put it together all year long, So is this the

1012
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: moment where they finally play like we thought they were

1013
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: gonna play, Because, man, you better Like Ohio State used

1014
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: last week against Iowa's like a run game practice. They're like,

1015
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: we're just gonna cram the ball down their throats over

1016
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 1: and over and over again to make sure that we're

1017
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: ready for what we're gonna be able to do the

1018
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: rest of the season. And Ohio State has men amongst

1019
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: boys at the wide receiver position. So man, you got

1020
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: to see we're gonna have to see a much better

1021
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: version of Oregon if they want to win this football game.

1022
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1023
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 2: Man, it's funny. A lot of people love Oregon. In fact,

1024
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 2: Brad can't join us today, but I will give you

1025
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 2: his picks. He's in Vegas. Yeah, he's in Fitziland, and

1026
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 2: uh he loves Oregon. In the game, I'm on defense,

1027
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 2: I think I like Ohio State.

1028
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm picking Ohio State to win the game.

1029
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,720
Speaker 1: I think it's also fair to say, hey, we haven't

1030
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: seen much from Ohio State that we really you know,

1031
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: can transfer forward, Like they haven't played a juggernaut of

1032
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: a schedule. I will agree with that. We talk about

1033
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: that every week, like when do we start to make

1034
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: a big deal of it? For me, last week was

1035
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: that like Ohio State just absolutely controlled the line of scrimmage,

1036
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: and you know, frankly, I think Ohio State was also

1037
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: ramping their running game up to see if they can

1038
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: run against Oregon. Yeah.

1039
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 2: Point, that's a great point. I think you're spot on

1040
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 2: with that. Yeah, I think you're spot on with that.

1041
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking Ohio State in that game. I would love,

1042
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: for the sake of my preseason pick for Oregon to

1043
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: win it and then suddenly become a juggernaut. But man,

1044
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 1: there's just not a lot of proof of concept there.

1045
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 3: All right, let's uh, let's take a quick tear.

1046
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 2: We'll come right back, all right and kind of go

1047

1048
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 2: NFL hour and we got some you know, we're gonna

00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,360

1070
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 2: We had mentioned it, red River rivalry today Texas Oklahoma

1071
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 2: number one Texas. You know, Oklahoma's defense is good, all right,

1072
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: So you know, obviously I like, I mean, obviously you

1073
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 2: should like Texas in a game, but Oklahoma's defense is legit.

1074
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't disagree with that at all. I mean,

1075
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: hasn't really shown a ton of weaknesses at this point.

1076
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: And this is the first time I thought this was

1077
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: pretty alarming. The first time Texas goes into this game

1078
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: ranked number one since nineteen eighty four. I mean, that

1079
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: just feels absolutely wild to me. But frankly, you know,

1080
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,479
Speaker 1: let's see where Quinn Viewers is at this point. Let's

1081
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: see if he's if he's healthy and great, But the

1082
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are gonna have. Whichever quarterback ends up finishing this game,

1083
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to play really well. Oklahoma took a

1084
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: minute to figure out what their quarterback situation looks like.

1085
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I was pretty harsh on Dylan Gabriel's

1086
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: play earlier for Oregon, but let's remember Oklahoma was comfortable

1087
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: letting him walk out the door. They thought they had

1088
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: their quarterback and they don't. Now they've got a fresh

1089
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: but Michael Hawkins coming in, and Hawkins has run the

1090
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 1: ball well for them too. He absolutely is a dual

1091
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: threat type quarterback. He's gonna have to play really well

1092
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: against that Texas defense.

1093
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean our Texas, I'm with you. They don't

1094
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 2: have a lot of that. They don't have a lot

1095
00:58:58,320 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 2: of soft spots.

1096
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 3: Battle squad.

1097
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 2: They're nasty, man, They're really good, And you're right, like

1098
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 2: Viewers gets back after missing the last couple of weeks

1099
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 2: and and where Arch played. Now it's uh, heres back

1100
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 2: at the helme. I mean, you know, I mean Texas is.

1101
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 2: I mean, they're their defense, they can run it, they

1102
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: just do everything. I mean, they were. They're just a

1103
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 2: great team.

1104
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 3: Man.

1105
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 2: I I love watching them Horns Horns. It's funny, man.

1106
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 2: There were a couple of times where we we all

1107
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 2: kept saying, is Texas back?

1108
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 3: Is the are the Horns back?

1109
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 2: And there was always like one part of the squad

1110
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 2: was just just not up to it, right, like you know,

1111
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 2: whether it was their defense usually was their defense and

1112
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:51,959
Speaker 2: and their past game. But you know, they're I think

1113
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 2: on both sides of the football, they're just legit.

1114
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 3: Man.

1115
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 2: They're really good. And I and again I like Allahoma's defense.

1116
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 2: I think they're I think their defense is good.

1117
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Brent Venables is going to have to have that defense

1118
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: have the game of their life in this one. That

1119
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: being said, I think all of us are just sort

1120
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: of out on Oklahoma. I don't think I think frankly

1121
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: Texas wins this game. And Texas was favored by I

1122
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: think fourteen and a half. I think I like Texas

1123
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: to cover. I think they win this game pretty handily.

1124
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: If they don't, if Oklahoma pulls off the let's just

1125
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: remember Oklahoma right now, kind of surprising the most other

1126
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: four and one we're talking about Oklahoma, like their season

1127
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: is just man, because they don't look like a great

1128
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: football They're better than they get credit for. Like they

1129
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: could change the entire perception of their program for the

1130
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: next few years with a big win in this game.

1131
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, you're right, it's funny, my man.

1132
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: Chris Chill listening to us right now, he's his horns.

1133
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Lay it, College Chill. He's College Chill, says, lay it later,

1134
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 2: lay their points. I agree with you and college Chill

1135
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 2: to late points.

1136
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Fourteen and a half is beefy two for the Red

1137
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 1: River rivalry. I just wanted to prove that I could

1138
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: say red River rivalry quickly. I believe it was the

1139
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: only catalyst there. But fourteen and a half is a

1140
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: lot of points. I think that just speaks to how

1141
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: good Texas is right now. By the way, I don't

1142
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: think that that means that this guy's falling for Oklahoma.

1143
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's one of several programs this year that are in

1144
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: the category of yeah, they're okay, they're fine, They're pretty good,

1145
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, and that that's not the end of the

1146
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: world to be that. It's just it feels like the

1147
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: end of the world if you're an Oklahoma fan and

1148
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: you're watching Texas not be in that category.

1149
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I know.

1150
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 2: We'll also talk a little Penn State Southern Cow. We'll

1151
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 2: get to that in just a moment, but first let's

1152
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 2: find out what's trending.

1153
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, Major League Baseball. We had Game five of the

1154
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 7: NLDS on Friday night between the Dodgers and the Padres,

1155

Speaker 7: winner take all, as LA advancing to the NLCS.

1156
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 8: Here's the pitch, Tanti swings chopping a third backhad pick

01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 8: by Hernandez.

1158
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: There's the throw the tow In brother.

1159
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 9: Fireworks go off and straight away center field as the

1160
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 9: Dodgers shut out the Padres getten. Back to that game.

1161
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 7: That was Stephen Nelson on FSR affiliate KLC and the

1162
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 7: Dodgers radio network.

1163
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 3: As LA beat.

1164
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 7: San Diego two nothing, the second consecutive shutout buy the

1165
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 7: Dodgers over the Padres, and they held San Diego scoreless

1166
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 7: for the last twenty four innings of this series. Inning

1167
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 7: Game nor five, LA getting all the offense off of

1168
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 7: two solo home runs won each by Key k Hernandez

1169
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 7: and ti Oscar Hernandez, and they will face the Mets

1170
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 7: on Sunday in the NLCS Game one out in Los Angeles.

1171
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 7: First pitch set for eight o'clock Eastern time. On Saturday,

1172
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 7: we will have Game five with the Alds, Guardians and Tigers,

1173
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 7: and that game has been moved up to one o'clock

1174
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 7: Eastern time because of inclement weather. In at college football,

1175
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 7: we did have a ranked team in Action number sixteen,

1176
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 7: Utah falling to Arizona State twenty seven to nineteen, and

1177
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 7: in a couple of other games, both blowouts. Northwestern demolishes

1178
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 7: Maryland thirty seven to ten, UNLV over Utah State fifty

1179
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 7: to thirty four.

1180
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 3: Back over the fellas, all right, Bardy, thank you. We

1181
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 3: are the fellas.

1182
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Jason Fitz Anthony Gargano hanging out on this Fox Sports Saturday.

1183
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good game, man.

1184
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 2: School Ball. I like school bll. I love school Ball.

1185
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 2: I don't like it, I love it. I think school

1186
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 2: Bull wins today. That's a great one, and they moved

1187
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 2: it up because of the weather. But I love the fact.

1188
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 2: At two o'clock we were talking about it. Penn State.

1189
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: USC fits e Penn State if there's ever a game

1190
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 2: that they need because look, I don't think they could

1191
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: lose twice. They need to. They should make the playoffs,

1192
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 2: but they need to beat USC. If they beat USC,

1193
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what happens against Ohio State, they should be in.

1194
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 2: But they have to beat USC today.

1195
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, I agree with you, and I think they're

1196
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: built to beat USC. USC's defense will always think it's

1197
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: going to get better, and it just typically doesn't. It hasn't.

1198
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:24,919
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing is that for anyone that hasn't

1199
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: watched Penn State this year, it's a different Penn State

1200
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: than last year. Drew Aller their quarterback pushing the ball downfield.

1201
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: Their depth to target is way up. He's certainly shown

1202
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: he's more accurate. Penn State has had big explosive plays.

1203
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: I would like to see Penn State be able to

1204
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: just sustain more in a football game. It feels like

1205
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: they have flashes. Like here's the thing. When they were

1206
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: ninth and tenth, I thought they were a little undervalued

1207
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: at fourth. Like I don't watch Penn State and think, yeah,

1208
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: that's the number four team in the country right there,

1209
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to show something going all the

1210
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: way across the USC and playing the USC team that

1211
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: should be playing with their backs up against. I think

1212
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: USC season is done obviously, but we're gonna find out

1213
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: what they've got. You know, Lincoln Riley LA wasn't really

1214
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 1: LA wasn't banking on this USC team being a four

1215
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: loss football team, right and so for USC to be

1216
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: sitting where they are right now, man, they've got They've

1217
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: got to get some things figured out quick, and we're

1218
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna find out how much fight they have for their coach. So,

1219
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, realistically, I think both of these coaches have

1220
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: earned the reputation of at times being disappointing in some

1221
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: big games. I think Lincoln has earned that this year,

1222
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: and I think James Franklin has earned that throughout the

1223
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: course of his career. Like just he he struggles in

1224
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: some big games. So I want to see Drew Aller

1225
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: come out push the football. I want to see Penn

1226
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: State sustained drives Penn State favor by four and a half.

1227
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: I like Benn State to win and cover they better

1228
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,439
Speaker 1: Like I just am curious to see what USC looks

1229
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: like if they play like they give a damn when

1230
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: everything is in theory on the line for them.

1231
01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 2: Dude, spot on, man, listen, Franklin. To win this game,

1232
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 2: it has to win this game. That's been their issue.

1233
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 2: You know, they have not been able. They've been good,

1234
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 2: they've been real good, but they're not They've they were

1235
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 2: never in Ohio state or Michigan's class. They were always

1236
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean, they were barely in Wisconsin's class, you know,

1237
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 2: or even Iowa. I mean, this is a game they

1238
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 2: gotta win. And I agree with you. They don't smell.

1239
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 2: They don't feel like the fourth best team in the country.

1240
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: I think they're good, uh and they should make the

1241
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 2: playoffs and they should beat USC. But you know, let's

1242
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 2: see it. You know, let's let's see what. Let's see

1243
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 2: if they can do. I think you're I think you're

1244
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 2: spot all with that. It's very I think there's a

1245
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 2: very This is kind of a telltale kind of game

1246
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 2: for Franklin in his Listen, he's a hell of a recruiter.

1247
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 2: He gets great talent. They've always fall they've fallen short

1248
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 2: in this kind of moment. So I'm anxious to see.

1249
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 2: That's a good game. Notre Dame Stanford obviously their big

1250
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 2: favorite twenty two and a half for the Irish.

1251
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 3: We're y at with Notre Dame right now.

1252
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll go as far as Riley Leonard takes them,

1253
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: right like it's they had delusions of grandeur for this team.

1254
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: And you know, certainly I disagree with some of my

1255
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: coworkers at Yahoo that believe that, you know, Notre Dame's

1256
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: basically a lock for the playoffs. Man, I don't know.

1257
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: This offensive line at times has been inconsistent. Riley Leonard's

1258
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: been good, not great. I Notre Dame you just mentioned.

1259
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: We were just talking about teams that just have to

1260
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: get wins. Notre Dame has no wiggle room left. They're

1261
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: going to have to continue to win, and I think

1262
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: win with some conviction along the way, because they aren't

1263
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: guaranteed anything in the college football playoff and because they've got,

1264
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: you know what will turn out to be a really

1265
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: bad loss on the resume, So they just don't have

1266
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: a lot of traction left to get big wins. So

1267
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame wins.

1268
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 2: But just hang on one second, because they have a

1269
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 2: chance for two I think important wins, and they're gonna

1270
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 2: be tough games and that's the Service academies.

1271
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: Now, that is fair.

1272
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 3: You're right.

1273
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 1: Actually, I need to recalibrate the way I think about

1274
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: the Service academies. You are right about that.

1275
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 2: They're good. Both those teams are good. Both those teams

1276
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 2: are really good, man, And all of a sudden, those

1277
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 2: two teams are dicey like you like, you're right. It's

1278
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 2: an inexcusable loss to Miami, Ohio. And you know, they're

1279
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 2: sitting at four and one, and it just turns out.

1280
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 2: And usually I can't get on Notre Dame because usually

1281
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 2: the Irish had play a really tough schedule. It just

1282
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: so happens that the schedule isn't as tough. But with

1283
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 2: Army Navy being so good this year, all of a sudden,

1284
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:58,799
Speaker 2: those games are testers.

1285
01:08:58,880 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 3: Man.

1286
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Army and Navy are both. I mean, both those

1287
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 1: teams are undefeated. But they're both playing really, really well

1288
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: right now. But you're right. I'll give them a little

1289
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: credit for that, and we'll see what happens with USC,

1290
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 1: because obviously Notre Dame USC gives them some opportunity. Also,

1291
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: we'll see how much chaos happens in front of them too.

1292
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's a weird thing. About the rest of

1293
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 1: this college football season and the super conferences that are

1294
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: essentially aligning. Realistically, there's plenty of room for everybody ahead

1295
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: of them to fall, but there's also plenty of room

1296
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,759
Speaker 1: for everybody ahead of them to pick up a lot

1297
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,799
Speaker 1: of traction. You know, that's the the interest. Like Ole Miss,

1298
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: we were ready to write off ole Miss as a

1299
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: huge game. Today it Almoss has huge games in front

1300
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: of them. You know. Ole Miss is the type of

1301
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: team that as much as everybody one loss, we feel

1302
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: like we want to write teams off because that's the

1303
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: old way of college football. Now it's just like, Okay,

1304
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna pick one up. So once you pick that

1305
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: one up, then what happens? You know, So maybe maybe

1306
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: we will recalibrate the way we think about Notre Dame,

1307
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, depending on what happens moving forward. For a second,

1308
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: every nobody wanted to give Northern Illinois a bunch of

1309
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:03,679
Speaker 1: street credit and be like, wow, this is a really

1310
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: good Northern Illinois team, and you know, maybe that loss

1311
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: doesn't look as bad. I think some of that has

1312
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: calmed down after NC State beat them, you know, so,

1313
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: and after Buffalo beat them. So now we can just

1314
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 1: sort of calm the Northern Illinois love down. But yeah,

1315
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame is in the category of meh.

1316
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 2: To me, their offense feels yeah, I said, I think,

1317
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 2: I said Miami Northern almost excuse me, they feel like

1318
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 2: Matt because their offense is Matt.

1319
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: Yep.

1320
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 3: Their offense. I mean they have no playmakers. That's what

1321
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:41,480
Speaker 3: they're missing.

1322
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: They have. They have no playmakers. They don't make plays

1323
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: on schedule easily. Like I said earlier, their offensive line

1324
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 1: has Riley running around a little bit. So now you've

1325
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: got a quarterback that's running around a little bit. And

1326
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: once he's running around a little bit, what does that mean?

1327
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,120
Speaker 1: You know? I just I'll continue to say that the

1328
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: best passers, whether we're talking about college football or NFL,

1329
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks that are mobile are quarterbacks first and

1330
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,640
Speaker 1: mobile second, you know, and Riley is not. Riley is

1331
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: mobile first and quarterback second. The process, like this is

1332
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: the great the great test for me on a of

1333
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: is this team good, especially in college football is third

1334
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: and five, third and six? What is their go to?

1335
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: What's their bread and butter? Can they get themselves out

1336
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: of that situation? And good teams can good dude, Like

1337
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: you look at Alabama and even coming off of obviously

1338
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: the loss, which was inexcusable, I think you can look

1339
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: at Alabama and say, okay, third and five, third and six,

1340
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: they got a lot of ways they can beat you.

1341
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: You look at Texas, third and five, third and six,

1342
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: they got a lot of ways that can beat you.

1343
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 1: Ohio State go up and down the list, even teams

1344
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: like you know, like I said, Ole Miss is an example,

1345
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Penn State is an example. I think third and five,

1346
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,560
Speaker 1: third and six, you have a pretty good idea of

1347
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: what they're trying to accomplish. Third and six. Notre Dame.

1348
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea how they get you out of that.

1349
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 2: Pind No, No, that's fair.

1350
01:11:59,560 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 3: It is.

1351
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 2: But again I attribute that to more lack of playmakers. Man,

1352
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 2: I'd like to see Ridley Leonard with some better guys

1353
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:11,440
Speaker 2: on the outside and make plays.

1354
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably fair. I mean, the athleticism of young

1355
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,879
Speaker 1: wide receivers is a huge storyline in current college football

1356
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 1: that you know, saves a lot of quarterbacks. This is

1357
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: this is the interesting thing. It's almost like you want

1358
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback that's seen a ton of football, that

1359
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:31,560
Speaker 1: knows the right time to throw up the fifty to

1360
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: fifty ball, but you also need a young phenom to

1361
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 1: go up and get it. So it's it's like this

1362
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: weird combination of free agency essentially, if we want to

1363
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: call that the transfer portal and recruiting all.

1364
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 2: At once, spottle my man. All right, let's take quick

1365
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 2: time out. We'll come back. We'll go through the continue

1366
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 2: to go through the college card. We'll look to the

1367
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 2: NFL next hour and dive into a.

1368
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 10: Little Niners Seahawks from the other night in a Big

1369
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 10: day tomorrow where the fellas Jason Fitz Anthony Gargotti hanging

1370
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,120

1371
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 2: From the Tyraq dot com studios. All right, I need

1372
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 2: to take a quick second because we're now in due October,

1373
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 2: and where do we got October twelfth today? So we're

1374
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,719
Speaker 2: smack dab in the Halloween season.

1375
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: Who and I.

1376
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 2: Gotta find out because I still't thinking about Boy, the

1377
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,799
Speaker 2: kids play every weekend, right, we have games every weekend

1378
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 2: or else? Like, man, I'd like to take a ride

1379
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 2: up to see the house. So tell everybody about the

1380
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 2: house and where you're at with your Halloween dollar, Like,

1381
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:52,959
Speaker 2: are you up and running full throttle?

1382
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 1: I am in the house up and running full throttle

1383
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: for sure, Like I got all the zombies up in

1384
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: the house, got the levitating body on the wall. I've got,

1385
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, like in the house is fully creep a fight.

1386
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:10,799
Speaker 1: I'll send you some pictures, my friend. You know, it's

1387
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: it's it's all. It's all coming together now. Like I

1388
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 1: waited a little longer this year, I'm changing some things up,

1389
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: you know. I'm waiting a little longer to get things

1390
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: rolling so that I can I can. I don't know,

1391
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to condense the seasons. This is a

1392
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: change for me this year. I'm consolidating Halloween into instead

1393
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: of starting in like August, I'm making it really like

1394
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: a big month of October. Oh my god. And then

1395
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: this is the big change usually for me, the day

1396
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: after October, Like every year, the day after Halloween, I'm

1397
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: that guy and they always stare at me. I'm at

1398
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 1: spirit Halloween, get my stuff fifty percent off, because you know,

1399
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: this stuff ain't cheap, and some get my stuff fifty

1400
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 1: percent off. The day after Halloween, while I'm listening to

1401
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: Maria Carri's Christmas records. Usually I go straight into Christmas.

1402
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: November first and start putting up to Christmas stuff like

1403
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: within days. I know, usually it's a whole blast. This year,

1404
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: I've decided I'm going to give the month of November

1405
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: it's due. I'm gonna try this whole Thanksgiving fall thing

1406
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: before I flipped the script over to Christmas after Thanksgiving.

1407
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 1: So I'll let you know how that goes.

1408
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 2: But yes, I like I like that strategy because don't

1409
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 2: get lost. Like to me, you start Christmas stuff Thanksgiving weekend.

1410
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: I've always I've always looked at it this way, and

1411
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 1: this is this is I've used this analogy with you before.

1412
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 1: But what do you do at halftime of a game.

1413
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: You sit down, you catch up with some friends, you

1414
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: talk to everybody, you eat some food, you have a

1415
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: couple of drinks. You're good halftime, then you recharge, You're

1416
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: ready for the second half. I've always said Thanksgiving is

1417
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: the halftime of Christmas season. So like I'm a month in,

1418
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: I get a break for a couple of days and

1419
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: I get back to it. But this year trying trying

1420
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: a different you know, I'm like, I'm gonna wait to

1421
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 1: put all the stuff up until the very end of

1422
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: November and and then see if that maybe makes it

1423
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more special. I did go to

1424
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: a cool thing the other day. I don't know if

1425
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: you've ever seen these. There are cities everywhere, but they

1426
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 1: like they usually are in churches where they happened. But

1427
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: they do like these candlelight string quartet things, you know,

1428
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: where it's like they fill the whole place with candles

1429
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 1: and then they do like a string quartet tribute to

1430
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Queen or to Taylor Swift or whatever. They had one

1431
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: the other night that was a string quartet tribute to Halloween.

1432
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: So it was all music. Oh, it's so cool, Like

1433
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting in like sitting in a pew and

1434
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: amazing that, you know. I made it in and out

1435
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: of church and and nothing, nothing happened, but my skin

1436
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: didn't burn anything. But I made it in and out

1437
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: of church. And I watched this kind of weirdow. Yeah,

1438
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: I know, Like tell me though, it isn't weird to

1439
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: be hearing the Exorcist theme while you're sitting in a

1440
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 1: pew at a church. But it was beautiful because the

1441
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:48,839
Speaker 1: candles were lit everywhere.

1442
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 3: The quartet was rocket nothing like the occult to go

1443
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 3: with you go with church.

1444
01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting the full but also, you know, because because

1445
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm that you can't have the displays I have without

1446
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, you know, budgeting for this in advance. But

1447
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: I got lucky that I found out a costco had

1448
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: a big old deal on full sized candy bars. So

1449
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, the full sized candy bars are ready for Halloween.

1450
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: Like it's it's you can't, you can't.

1451
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 3: You know you can't. That's strong.

1452
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:18,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he can't fund.

1453
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:19,839
Speaker 3: Something that's strong.

1454
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 2: Going full sized candy bar is is It's a good thing?

1455
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know, but again, I'm frugal and I'm

1456
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 1: budget conscious, so I usually start acquiring the full sized

1457
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 1: candy bars. Like the easiest way to do that is

1458
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 1: to just start buying them every time you see them

1459
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: on stales, starting in like Midsummer, and then you just

1460
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: stalk them off to the side. The only problem I

1461
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: have this year is that I'm on this fitness journey

1462
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be fitting this three cspecies

1463
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:48,600
Speaker 1: in my mouth every night. And I know, particularly like,

1464
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: let's be honest, we all know that I love to

1465
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: dabble in my edibles, and by dabble, I mean take

1466
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: a lot of them. And so like what I don't

1467
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: want is a whole box full of you know, full

1468
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: sized candy bars sitting around and you know, when I've

1469
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 1: had a couple.

1470
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 3: Of that's dangerous.

1471
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. So this year, you know, budget be damned, I

1472
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 1: had to go. I had to go budget versus waistline.

1473
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 1: But Costco saved me at the last second with the

1474
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, so I have not I got him the

1475
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: other day. I have not yet opened them. So I

1476
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,640
Speaker 1: feel pretty proud that, you know, I've managed to. I

1477
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: feel like I'm staring at them at two in the

1478
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: morning most nights and I'm like, don't have the candy bar.

1479
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: But so far I'm underfeeding.

1480
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 3: Don't have the candy bar? Come to me.

1481
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm looking at I'm talking to talking to the

1482
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: lady that's floating on my wall, and I'm like, should

1483
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: I have a candy bar?

1484
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 2: But this is what happens when you have give me

1485
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 2: the You got to give me the movies that you

1486
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 2: have in your house.

1487
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: I mean all of them. This I think some of

1488
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: the weirdest. There's a reference to Halloween three. I like

1489
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 1: to make sure that, like Halloween three, which is an

1490
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: underrated movie, Season of the Witch should just be called

1491
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: Season of the Witch. But yeah, you got to make

1492
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: sure that you got some things in that only the

1493
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 1: Halloween junkies absolutely love that's that's one of the keys.

1494
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 3: You have a what's the scariest thing? You have.

1495
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: A gutted body that's like the inerts are falling out

1496

Speaker 1: to me. I find even when I was working for

1527
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: the flagship of the National Predators, my first gig was

1528
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: one O two five of the game in Nashville doing

1529
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: the morning show the year of the Stanley Cup final run,

1530
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 1: and even covering it, I always found that it was

1531
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: difficult to really be genuine in front of a microphone

1532
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 1: in October and tell everybody how meaningful a game in

1533
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: October or November is. So to me, hockey this time

1534
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: of year is just it's almost like playing the video

1535
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 1: game version of NHL. Like it's just fun to sit back.

1536
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: There's no pressure. You watch it like a fast start,

1537
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: slow start, doesn't matter, right, Like I'm just sitting back

1538
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 1: watching it. It's almost like preseason football, where you're just

1539
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: sitting there saying, hey, this is fun. I feel good

1540
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: that hockey's on. But I also don't have to deal

1541
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 1: with any sort of consequence to that action. So yeah,

1542
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: I watched it a little of it, but it didn't

1543
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 1: move my soul. It was just fun to have it on.

1544
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always look at it, and anytime a new

1545
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 2: season starts, like you get excited. So my team, the Flyers,

1546
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 2: had their opener last night, and they got this kid

1547
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 2: who's really good, this kid Meetskough, matt Vey Meetchkoff, who

1548
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 2: is a Russian and he's She's nineteen years old and

1549
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 2: he made his debut last They opened the season, which

1550
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 2: I hated, on the West coast. They opened with a

1551
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 2: west coast trip, so they're all they're playing Vancouver, so

1552
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:31,839
Speaker 2: of course we're on at five eastern. The game started

1553
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 2: at ten eastern, and I of course watched it because

1554
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 2: I'm a loser idiot, and I watched the baseball game

1555
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 2: and they went right into a little Flyers, Canucks and

1556
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 2: the kid was unbelievable, like just moved the pock.

1557
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 3: I mean it was it was cool.

1558
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, I mean this is just you know,

1559
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 2: it's more of an appetizer, right, like you watch these

1560
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 2: stuff like the beginning of the NBA.

1561
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 3: You watched It's an appetizer.

1562
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 2: We were all kind of gripped with Dodgers padres last

1563
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 2: night and then uh, full data, full slate of games

1564
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 2: coming up, and I want to get to you with

1565
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 2: the NFL, we saw the Niners. Let's look at the

1566
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 2: balance of power in the NFL, in the NFC because

1567
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 2: we saw San Francisco and like, I don't know, I

1568
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,520
Speaker 2: think we judged them too harshly.

1569
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 3: I think the I think they're really good.

1570
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously they're bagged up at running back, but

1571
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 2: and then you saw Mason get hurt with the shoulder.

1572
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 3: But they're they're legit, man, They're a good team.

1573
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 1: They're surviving the gauntlet of injuries that so many teams

1574
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: are faced with this year. And I do believe that

1575
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: this is this is one of those rare years where

1576
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: if you're listening right now and your your answer about

1577
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 1: your favorite team is yeah, but look at all the injuries.

1578
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: Kindly shut up because every single team is just being

1579
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: lasted with injury issues. It feels like, week in week out,

1580
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: like this is not the year to have any excuses

1581
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: for Yeah, but we were missing these six guys, or

1582
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: we were missing these four guys, because that's the case

1583
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: for everybody, right. So the forty nine ers have managed

1584
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:18,799
Speaker 1: to get themselves through this first six weeks of the season.

1585
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: They sit at three and three, even though they've been

1586
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: absolutely decimated, and in the process, I think what they've

1587
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: shown you is that, hey, they can play competitive with

1588
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: absolutely anybody any week, no matter what they have. Brock

1589
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: Party has continued to show what I think Brock Party

1590
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: needs to show to end the conversation of whether or

1591
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,720
Speaker 1: not brock Party is really that guy for them. I

1592
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 1: think he is for the next ten years. I think

1593
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: They've got stability at coach, stability at quarterback, and they

1594
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: have so much talent that even when their depth is tested,

1595
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 1: they can still test anybody any given week. Do they

1596
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 1: need to close games better, Yeah, one hundred percent they do.

1597
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: Do they seem to have a little less fire in

1598
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: their belly this year? Maybe a Super Bowl hangover, maybe

1599
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. Am I willing to bet

1600
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 1: against them the rest of the season. No, especially in

1601
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: an NFC that, frankly other than Minnesota and unbelievably, we

1602
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 1: need to say loudly Washington. I don't know that there's

1603
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: been a lot that we can look around and say, yes,

1604
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 1: that is a team you can bank on. There's been

1605
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 1: inconsistency everywhere.

1606
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think you can bank on the lines.

1607
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:21,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, of the lines. I should have included the lines.

1608
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: You're right, that's a missed by me.

1609
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm with you.

1610
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at that NFC everywhere else, I

1611
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 2: mean and even Washington. I think they're a great story,

1612
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 2: but I don't know how sustainable they are only because

1613
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 2: of their defense. I mean, I believe in jayde Daniels

1614
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 2: all day long. I just don't believe in their defense.

1615
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent, and I do

1616
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: think we need to calm down a little bit. And

1617
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: this is the moment here my logic brain will take

1618
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: over for everybody when you hear these big arguments about

1619
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:02,839
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels could be the NFL MVP. A rookie

1620
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 1: has only won the NFL MVP once. That was Jim Brown, right, like,

1621
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: so let's calm it all down a little bit. Like inevitably,

1622
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: voters don't make rookies the MVP. It's kind of like,

1623
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: we can say what we want about the Heisman, but

1624
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: we know how the Heisman usually ends up. So, I mean,

1625
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels could could have a CJ. Stroud plus ten

1626
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 1: percent season and still not be the MVP. I don't

1627
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: know who is right now. I think it's way too

1628
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: early to know that. But that'll separate itself. It's just

1629
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm just reminding everybody to calm down. And then the

1630
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 1: other part of it is in the NFC. If you

1631
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: look just as sort of the way the league is

1632
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,639
Speaker 1: built this year, one of the things that I think

1633
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: is absolutely amazing is that eleven teams out of sixteen,

1634
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 1: eleven teams are within one game of five hundred. They're

1635
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 1: either three and two, two and three, or you know,

1636
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: because of San Francisco they're three and three. Eleven out

1637
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: of sixteen teams are separated by one game like this

1638
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: this year is just I'm not sure any of these

1639
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: teams are great. That's just the NFC. The AFC is

1640
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: virtually the same, by the way, So you know, if

1641
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 1: you just probably.

1642
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 2: The lesser, like I think there's more talent in the NFC,

1643
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 2: you know, like it's it's bizarre, like let let's go

1644
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 2: through it. Like you tell me, I want to give

1645
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 2: you teams and then you tell me if you believe

1646
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: in that team?

1647
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 1: All right, I like this, yeah, all right.

1648
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 2: Let's start off. We'll go, We'll start Niners. And I say, yes,

1649
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 2: you say I believe in that, yes, Seattle.

1650
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: Loudly. No, I don't believe in Seattle. And I think

1651
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 1: Seattle is kind of interesting to me because they got

1652
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: more credit to college football logic for a good loss

1653
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 1: when they lost to the Lions and they put up

1654
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,640
Speaker 1: so many yards passing, and it's like, no, no, no,

1655
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: the Seattle team is good, man. They are. They are

1656
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: at times one dimensional, and I still think that we

1657
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 1: need to understand that. You know, as much as I love,

1658
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:03,599
Speaker 1: you know, my McDonald's as a head coach, Mike McDonald,

1659
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: I always want to make him the Doobie brother, as

1660
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,640
Speaker 1: much as I love what he will eventually be. For

1661
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:11,680
Speaker 1: their defense, I constantly remind people that Ravens players told

1662
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:13,600
Speaker 1: you it took two years to learn that defense. I

1663
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 1: think Seattle is an okay football team. They might make

1664
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:18,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but I don't believe.

1665
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 3: In them A spot on. I agree with everything you

1666
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 3: just said.

1667
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 1: The Rams no two injured. It's just there's too much

1668
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: to overcome this year. There's just not enough that they

1669
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 1: got no juice left in the tank, and I don't

1670
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 1: know how they turn it around, honestly. Plus the Rams

1671
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 1: still have tough games left on their schedule.

1672
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 3: Arizona.

1673
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 1: I want, I want. I want to believe in Arizona, right,

1674
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 1: I really do. I just I can't. I mean, I

1675
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 1: believe in Kyler. I believe in what they're building long term.

1676
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: I believe in Kyler Murray. I think he's really proven

1677
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: me wrong. I think that's all fair. I just and

1678
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 1: they have. It's funny their three losses right now are

1679
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 1: the Bills, who are a good football team, the Lions,

1680
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: who are a good football team, and the Commanders, who

1681
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,600
Speaker 1: have started off the season looking at times like a

1682
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 1: good football team. So their losses are all excusable. I'm

1683
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: but I'm still luke warm on whether or not I

1684
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: trust that defense.

1685
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't trust their defense. I do think, I mean,

1686
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 2: I think you and I kind of see the similar

1687
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 2: I like their offense. I don't trust their defense, you know,

1688
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,719
Speaker 2: I like to see the connection more with Marvin Junior.

1689
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I like I like how they run the ball.

1690
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 2: I like their offense. I think they have I like

1691
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 2: their approach on offense. And you're right about Kyler, you know.

1692
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:47,680
Speaker 2: I mean I think we all kind of left him

1693
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 2: for uh you know that he was headed down that

1694
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,759
Speaker 2: path and he's turned it around.

1695
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 3: I'm with you, all right, let's go south.

1696
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:06,600
Speaker 2: Obviously, No, Carolina, do you believe in the Falcons?

1697
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 1: Uh? So the question is, what you know? Any time

1698
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,760
Speaker 1: we got Kirk Cousins throwing more passes than you know,

1699
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: years he's been on Earth, I don't think that that's

1700
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: necessarily the way they want that offense to go. But

1701
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 1: the artist was great and the result was great. But

1702
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 1: the Falcons are also one or two plays away from

1703
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 1: being a total disaster right now. So I trust the pieces,

1704
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 1: and I think right now they get a little bit

1705
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 1: of it. I'll lean, yes, but I'm not I'm not

1706
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 1: sturdy on that leaning. I think the Falcons could end

1707
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 1: up being a bit of a you know, house of cards.

1708
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 3: Well compared to the rest of the division.

1709
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 2: Like you kinda like look at You're right, like, you.

1710
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:53,839
Speaker 1: Know, first on the same side of the Panthers, right.

1711
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 2: So you're out on those two, and you know, losing

1712
01:30:57,080 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 2: car was was it? And then you look at Tampa

1713
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 2: and you go, it's so funny because Baker and Cousins,

1714
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:09,760
Speaker 2: who squared off, you know, last week and put up

1715
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,800
Speaker 2: a lot of yards and a lot of offense. They're

1716
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 2: you know, they're both very similar type of teams. I

1717
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 2: probably like Tampa's defense a little bit better, uh, and

1718
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 2: I like Atlanta's offense a little bit.

1719
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 1: Better one hundred per So, if I have to lean

1720
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: which one of those I trust more? Also, I will

1721
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: say this, I trust that Baker at this point in

1722
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: his career is not as likely to make the stupid

1723
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 1: throat in a big game. So I would say that

1724
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:40,720
Speaker 1: I trust Tampa more than I trust Atlanta. But like

1725
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 1: that's a real neck and neck you know, photo finish

1726
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:44,720
Speaker 1: for me.

1727
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're both to I, you know, I

1728
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 2: kind of both. I kind of like them both in

1729
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 2: that sense, you know, like you like Tampa's receivers, you

1730
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 2: like Atlanta's run game with you know, Beijon and Algiers.

1731
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 2: I do, like you know, Drake London and Mooney's helped.

1732
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 2: So I think I just give the Falcons a little

1733
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 2: slight nod because of the run game, but I think

1734
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 2: they're very similar. I give the Buccaneers defense a little

1735
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 2: the little tag, but clearly that's a two hourst race

1736
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 2: in the South in the North.

1737
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:28,679
Speaker 3: Obviously, the Lions are you know all that, you know.

1738
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 2: They just they just to me feel elite. They're one

1739
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,680
Speaker 2: of the few teams that feels elite.

1740
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And they're one of the few teams

1741
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:44,479
Speaker 1: that can carve you up. I think their defense has

1742
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,840
Speaker 1: some questions to answer. Still, they put up some yards,

1743
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 1: They've allowed yards to be put upon them, I should say,

1744
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,440
Speaker 1: I think their defense has some questions in the playoffs,

1745
01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 1: but also I think that the playoffs like the Lions

1746
01:32:57,400 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: clearly inevitably. If we're power ranking the NFC, the Lions

1747
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 1: are are gonna be top two all throughout the course

1748
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,559
Speaker 1: of this season. And it's no longer just a cute

1749
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:09,759
Speaker 1: story that the Lions are who they are. The Lions

1750
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: look like a legitimate Super Bowl team. I mean, I

1751
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 1: think if you're in Detroit, you're looking around saying this,

1752
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:16,679
Speaker 1: this might be the best era of Lions football.

1753
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:23,640
Speaker 11: We will ever see Oh yeah, oh yeah five and

1754
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:28,760
Speaker 11: oh is five and oh legit like you feel like

1755
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:29,639
Speaker 11: the five and.

1756
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 2: Oh you know, and they're coming off the London game. Uh,

1757
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,680
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta buy this week and then uh

1758
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 2: you got the Lions.

1759
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 3: That's gonna set up for an amazing game.

1760
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 2: I can't believe it's a one o'clock game Lions and

1761
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 2: Vikings in two weeks a week wall a week from tomorrow,

1762
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 2: which sets up to be an amazing game.

1763
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: Dude, if I told everybody coming into the season that

1764
01:33:58,120 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: the line that the Vikings would be five and oh

1765
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:04,000
Speaker 1: with wins over the Texans, Packers, forty nine Ers and Jets,

1766
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:06,240
Speaker 1: as much as those teams were getting love coming into

1767
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 1: the season, my god. And yeah are they legit? Hell, yes,

1768
01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 1: they're legit. And this has nothing to do with Sam Darnald.

1769
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Sam Darnald thing is it's great,

1770
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 1: it's fine, you know, but this has everything to do

1771
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 1: with Kevin O'Connell the head coach, and Brian Flora is

1772
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, who at this point is just he's minnesota'spags,

1773
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,320
Speaker 1: like he is that guy that is he is putting

1774
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:31,040
Speaker 1: every single quarterback in a blender, and I just think

1775
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: we have to acknowledge that, Like part of why Aaron

1776
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers looked bad against Minnesota is because Minnesota makes everybody

1777
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 1: look bad. CJ. Stroud is supposed to essentially be Jesus right,

1778
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 1: like we were just talking about it, Like he walks

1779
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 1: our water, he can do anything. He looked bad against Minnesota.

1780
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 1: Brian Flores is the hottest coordinator in the NFL right now,

1781
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:52,600
Speaker 1: and I just think flow has got them going. I

1782
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 1: believe in their defense, I believe in their coaching, I

1783
01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 1: believe in their talent, and they're getting enough out of

1784
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Even in again, you know, against the Jets

1785
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:04,439
Speaker 1: where Sam Darnold wasn't great, they still won that game.

1786
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:07,640
Speaker 1: And they won that game pretty convincingly, more convincingly than

1787
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,679
Speaker 1: the final score indicated. So yeah, I'm a big believer

1788
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:12,960
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Why not Minnesota at this point to be

1789
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender?

1790
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:18,920
Speaker 2: How about then they're in London this week? How about

1791
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:20,839
Speaker 2: the three and two Bears?

1792
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 1: No, I think the Bears. They're getting better and it's

1793
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:28,840
Speaker 1: getting better quickly, or truly, Caleb is getting better quickly.

1794
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 1: This offense is getting more explosive quickly. I think they're

1795
01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 1: going to have a really good game tomorrow morning. But

1796
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 1: it's just a little early in the progression for me

1797
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 1: to sit there and say, yes, everything is clicked and

1798
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:42,599
Speaker 1: I believe in them. I think they're a fun team

1799
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 1: to watch. But do I believe that they're like a

1800
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 1: legitimately good football team.

1801
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 3: Not yet.

1802
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:53,720
Speaker 2: I would agree with that summation. How about the Packers.

1803
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know how I feel about Jordan Love.

1804
01:35:56,720 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm tough on Jordan Love. I know I think the

1805
01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 1: Packers the pack The success for the Packers to me

1806
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season is going to continue

1807
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 1: to be can you get Josh Jacobs more involved in

1808
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,920
Speaker 1: every single game? Just let Josh Jacobs take over and

1809
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:14,720
Speaker 1: take some of this off of a quarterback that I

1810
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 1: do believe is a little inconsistent. So I thought the Packers.

1811
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 1: Maybe expectation changes a little bit for me because I

1812
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 1: thought the Packers Packers would be a pretty good football team,

1813
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 1: and instead they kind of look like an okay and

1814
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:31,000
Speaker 1: inconsistent football team. So if Lafleur goes back to calling

1815
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:32,639
Speaker 1: the offense the way he did when he was calling

1816
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 1: the offense in Tennessee. I would have a lot more

1817
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 1: faith in them. I just think they gotta they just

1818
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 1: got to power the rock. More so for me, I'm

1819
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:43,120
Speaker 1: sort of mid on the Packers. I don't not believe

1820
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,439
Speaker 1: in them, but I'm not sitting here doing cartwheels for them.

1821
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like him more than you do. I do.

1822
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 2: I think they're better and I think they're going to

1823
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 2: get better as time goes on too, as the season

1824
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 2: on falls.

1825
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: I think I'd like pretty true. By the way, Yeah,

1826
01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 1: I think I think you have a better chance of

1827
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:00,760

01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 1: worst with movies, man, Like movies. I've seen a thousand

1857
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 1: times that like I always call tour bus movies like

1858
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:49,519

1859
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 1: changes the station right, and I still can't quote them.

1860

1864
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 1: buddies at the sports bar last night watching the Dodgers game,

1865
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 1: and everybody's quoting Dumb and Dumber, which I've seen, I know,

1866
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:09,640
Speaker 1: just more times than I can count, and I have

1867
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: no idea what what scenes are even referencing. I'm just like,

1868
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 1: is that from the movie? I don't know, Like I

1869
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: in one ear out the other. With movies, I love them.

1870
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: I am a movie fanatic, but none of it sticks,

1871
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 1: none of it retains. I've seen Goodfellows more times than

1872
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 1: I can count, and I didn't even know that's why

1885
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 2: Gladiator right because Gladiator Too's coming out and they had

1886
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 2: never seen Gladiator the boys, and so you know, I.

01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 3: Go, dude, this is the greatest.

01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:26,639
Speaker 2: Like, you guys gotta see this. And so we watch

1889
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:30,800

1890
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 2: Like I can't.

1891
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 3: Wait for that.

1892
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 1: Well, I also can't wait for Gladiator Too. It looks amazing,

1893
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 1: but I will, I will tell you. Like you know,

1894
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 1: Michael Junior like a brother to me, one of my

1895
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 1: best friends. He always talks about how offensive lineman, especially

1896
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, but any big big guys in general. But

1897
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 1: offensive lineman can quote movies like that's just the skill.

1898
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: Every offensive line group just sits around and watches movies

1899
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: say quote movies all the time. Drives him crazy that

1900
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm the master of the close quote, Like I'm not

1901
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: really getting it. I'm just giving you the sort of

1902
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 1: the same meaning as the quote, and I'm saying it

1903
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 1: confidently like I have no idea. Again, dumb and dumbers,

1904
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: So like I don't know it. So you're telling me

1905
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 1: there's a chancer. So you're saying there's a chance, or

1906
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: it might be a chance. I don't know. I just

1907
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 1: know the basic principle of it. So I'm going to

1908
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 1: quote it in a way that just makes everybody in

1909
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 1: the room mad when I try and make it. But

1910
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:22,000
Speaker 1: like any movie quote that I give you is going

1911
01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: to be just close enough to piss the whole room off.

1912
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 3: Yes, like you can't go not get it right?

1913
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 2: Like you're yes, I Like, I'm with Junior there, like

1914
01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:33,760
Speaker 2: you gotta get it right?

1915
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 3: You come on, man, come on, Fitzy got everybody?

1916
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,679
Speaker 2: Can I try one more of Fitzy?

1917
01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, leave the gun, take the Cannelli.

1918
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 1: Nothing I got that?

1919
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, are you serious?

1920
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 1: I got nothing on that.

1921
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 2: But this is oh Paul, you ain't gonna see him

1922
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 2: right here no more. The funny thing is it's same

1923
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 2: guy said it. Let's see you, Michael. You're not going

01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:05,559
Speaker 2: to tell that girl you love her? Oh you with

01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:06,519

Speaker 3: If I don't see you, Mom'm gonna die.

1927
01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what I did, just so everybody understands

1928
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:15,080
Speaker 1: exactly how I cheat this, because you would think as

1929

Speaker 1: on YouTube and brought up the scene. I pull it

Speaker 1: like really ramp up that that style of music, I

1948
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:11,479
Speaker 1: thought you were just playing like Neil little Rags to riches.

1949
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:12,880
Speaker 1: And I was like I like this, Like I like,

1950
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, we could, we could, we could mess with

1951
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 1: this vibe. And it turns out it's from a movie.

1952

Speaker 7: helping back five scoreless innings by Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the bullpen

1979
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 7: adding four more scoreless innings to get LA their second

1980
01:44:56,200 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 7: shutout in a row, and they have the Padres scoreless

1981
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 7: for the final twenty four innings of this series. As

1982
01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 7: the Dodgers advance to play the New York Mets in

1983
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:10,679
Speaker 7: the NLCS, Game one set for Sunday evening, first pitch

1984
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 7: at eight o'clock Eastern time. The American League Division Series

1985
01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:17,720
Speaker 7: still going on. We got a game five on Saturday,

1986
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 7: Tigers and Guardians. As that game has been pushed up

1987
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:26,200
Speaker 7: to one o'clock Eastern time, so early afternoon start time

1988
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:28,400
Speaker 7: there because of inclement weather. They're trying to get the

1989
01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:32,719
Speaker 7: game in before the rain comes in. In college football,

1990
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,599
Speaker 7: we did have a ranked team playing on Friday, number sixteen.

1991
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 7: Utah falls to Arizona State twenty seven to nineteen. Northwestern

1992
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 7: a blowout win against Maryland thirty seven to ten, and

1993
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:46,360
Speaker 7: the Running Rebels run away with it against Utah State

1994
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:49,879
Speaker 7: UNLV fifty to thirty four winners against the Aggies.

1995
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, al right, buddy, we are the

1996
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 2: Fellas live from the tay Iraq dot Com Studios. All right,

1997
01:45:58,160 --> 01:46:02,559
Speaker 2: let's get back to the NFL. Fitzi Cauz hanging with you, guys.

1998
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:06,240
Speaker 2: We're going through teams that we believe in in the league, right,

1999
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 2: going to division by division. We're almost through the NFC.

2000
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:14,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to back to the NFC East. Giants win

2001
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 2: last week in Seattle, No eleak neighbors, right, so you're

2002
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 2: out the best player and they go in and they win.

2003
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 2: And you know again, I know that Seattle was lining

2004
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:28,800
Speaker 2: up for a game winning field goal. Giants block it,

2005
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 2: take it the other way, score a touchdown, win twenty

2006
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:32,920
Speaker 2: nine to twenty.

2007
01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:36,560
Speaker 3: But the Giants defense playing.

2008
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:40,360
Speaker 2: Well, and the Giants offensive line right down at their

2009
01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:43,600
Speaker 2: third string running back and Tracy guys one hundred and

2010
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:46,719
Speaker 2: twenty nine yards because that line was blocking.

2011
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 3: I'll ask you, do you believe in the Giants?

2012
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:54,080
Speaker 1: No? No, But that's also because I have a bias

2013
01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: of not believing in Daniel Jones still at this point,

2014
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:59,439
Speaker 1: like I, I, you're right everything you just said, but man,

2015
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,880
Speaker 1: I got one game. I don't trust Ao Jones. So no,

2016
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't believe in them, but they are better than

2017
01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:07,640
Speaker 1: I thought they would be, like substantially better than I

2018
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 1: thought they would be.

2019
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 2: Now we talk about we'll say them for last. We

2020
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:18,320
Speaker 2: talk about the Cowboys a lot. No, Michael, last week

2021
01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 2: they win. Now it was kind of an ugly, ugly

2022
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 2: win for sure, against a pretty anemic offense in Pittsburgh.

2023
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 2: The Cowboys flaws are still the same, but I just

2024
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 2: don't know that they have enough firepower and I don't

2025
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 2: know how good their defense is. So I'll ask you,

2026
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 2: if you believe them, you believe that they were a

2027
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:48,799
Speaker 2: big win team or a twelve win team before the season,

2028
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:50,679
Speaker 2: where are you at with him now?

2029
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 1: I would like Jerry Jones to write me a check

2030
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,400
Speaker 1: for all of the money I have lost because I've

2031
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 1: given up on the Cowboys this season. I do not

2032
01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 1: believe in them at all. And I can't explain why

2033
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: because everything that you have said all summer about the

2034
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:10,120
Speaker 1: one dimensional offense, my answer to that has been one

2035
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: dimensional has never held them back. It has always been fine.

2036
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:16,360
Speaker 1: This year, it is not fine. So you know, I

2037
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: think it is fair to say that the absolute everything

2038
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 1: looks disjointed this year. It doesn't look like I thought

2039
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: it would. I stand by the math and the logic

2040
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 1: of why I thought it would be fine. It isn't.

2041
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't trust right now that their offense can sustain anything.

2042
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't trust right now that they're going to be

2043
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:37,680
Speaker 1: able to score on great teams. And I don't trust that.

2044
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't care about one game. I don't trust that

2045
01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 1: they're suddenly going to figure out how to stop the

2046
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 1: run consistently against a good team. I think if you

2047
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:44,760
Speaker 1: want to beat the Cowboys, all you got to do

2048
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:46,840
Speaker 1: in January is line up and run the ball on

2049
01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 1: him fifty times. And a good team is going to

2050
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:50,640
Speaker 1: do that and be able to execute it. So no,

2051
01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:53,479
Speaker 1: I do not trust the Cowboys at all.

2052
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I'm with you.

2053
01:48:56,439 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 2: And maybe my argument was that they were substantially worse

2054
01:49:02,360 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 2: and their skill people this year that you know, Tony

2055
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 2: Polter might not have been Tony Dorsett, but he's a

2056
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 2: lot better than than Dowble and a lot better than

2057
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 2: you know what they got down.

2058
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:16,120
Speaker 3: The hunt year old Zeke.

2059
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he was way better than that,

2060
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 2: and they were and Cooks was younger, and they just

2061
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:26,880
Speaker 2: had a little it to scoch More. I'm still shocked

2062
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 2: that they came in with this group. I just don't

2063
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 2: even know what they're all thinking about Eagles. Do you

2064
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:36,320
Speaker 2: buy the Eagles? Two and two? They had to buy

2065
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:39,719
Speaker 2: last week. They're healthy. Now this will be a big

2066
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 2: test for him because they kind of languished offensively. They've

2067
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 2: had a couple of bad losses when they were healthy.

2068
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:50,679
Speaker 2: They finally have aj Brown, DeVante Smith, and right tackle

2069
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 2: Lane Johnson back in the fold.

2070
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 3: So their offense should be really good.

2071
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:57,040
Speaker 2: And this is the offensive put that got you in

2072
01:49:57,080 --> 01:50:00,559
Speaker 2: the thirties in the Week one against the Packers Brazil.

2073
01:50:01,320 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 2: They're playing a good defense in the Browns, but the

2074
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 2: Browns offense is just trash juice led by Deshaun Watson,

2075
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:14,719
Speaker 2: who right now is clueless at the position.

2076
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:19,519
Speaker 3: Where do you feel about the Eagles? Do you buy

2077
01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:20,320
Speaker 3: the Eagles?

2078
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:22,920
Speaker 1: So, by the way, I'll give you my thoughts on

2079
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun in a little bit when we get to the Browns. No.

2080
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 1: So here's where I am with the Eagles. I want

2081
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 1: to buy the Eagles, but I also think that this

2082
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 1: is one of those moments where I just you're right,

2083
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:36,120
Speaker 1: they should be healthy and they should kick butt and

2084
01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 1: they should all look great, and I just want to

2085
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,479
Speaker 1: see it because we haven't, you know, And I think

2086
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:42,799
Speaker 1: It's fair to turn around and say, if the Eagles

2087
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 1: play really well this weekend, healthy and we see the

2088
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 1: version of the Eagles we think we can see, then yes,

2089
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:51,919
Speaker 1: I'm buying the Eagles. If not, they've just been the injuries,

2090
01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:54,000
Speaker 1: and I just said earlier, don't miss me with any

2091
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 1: injury conversation. The injuries they have have been so significant

2092
01:50:57,160 --> 01:51:00,200
Speaker 1: to their identity. I hate that word, but it has

2093
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:03,519
Speaker 1: been so significant to the way that they play football.

2094
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 1: I just don't know how we can have much of

2095
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:06,920
Speaker 1: a sensehet on where they are.

2096
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:12,280
Speaker 3: So, you know, including the AJ Brown is one of

2097
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:12,599
Speaker 3: the best.

2098
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:17,600
Speaker 2: However, in fairness to you, I don't believe in the

2099
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:21,559
Speaker 2: defense at all. Their defense has been bad. Their front

2100
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 2: seven has been non existent. They can't get any pressure

2101
01:51:27,160 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 2: on the quarterback. I don't know how you're a true

2102
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 2: contender if you can't get pressure from your front and

2103
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:37,679
Speaker 2: I think they got major issue on their front. Even

2104
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 2: if they get the offense fix. The offense, no doubt,

2105
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:43,680
Speaker 2: can be dynamic when you got Barkley and you got

2106
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:48,959
Speaker 2: AJ Brown and Devonte Smith and if and Jalen who could.

2107
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:51,040
Speaker 3: Still be really good.

2108
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:54,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he's his issue is he's been late at times,

2109
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:57,840
Speaker 2: and he's been turnover prone, but like that offense still

2110
01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 2: has a chance to be really, really good. How about Washington.

2111
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:09,519
Speaker 2: We talked about Washington now. The offense feels legit. The offense,

2112
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, Jane Daniels is terrific. Do you believe in

2113
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:19,679
Speaker 2: in the complete of Washington? Is Washington now your favorite

2114
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:20,759
Speaker 2: to win that division?

2115
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: They are not my favorite to win the divisions, but

2116
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 1: I do believe in the way that they are. I

2117
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 1: believe in in the football that they're playing. So I

2118
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:33,920
Speaker 1: don't believe in them defensively. Let me say it this way,

2119
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: and this may feel like a cop out, but I

2120
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:40,120
Speaker 1: think you'll buy me here. Belief is different for a

2121
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 1: team that had huge expectations. So when I say I

2122
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 1: don't believe in the Cowboys, it's because I thought the

2123
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:49,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys would win twelve games. So what do I trust now?

2124
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: The Commanders are in so many ways just like the

2125
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,400
Speaker 1: Texans were, right, like the Commanders are that team that

2126
01:52:57,479 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 1: at this point is like, well, part of why I

2127
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: believe them is because my expectations were so low, and

2128
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 1: the Commander's winning nine or ten games would be a

2129
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: huge win for Washington. So you know, I believe in

2130
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 1: their ability to do that. So I think that they've

2131
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 1: shown that they are a far better team than I

2132
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:16,600
Speaker 1: thought they would be. I believe that Washington is a

2133
01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:18,639
Speaker 1: playoff team this year, and I don't think the wheels

2134
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 1: are going to fall off on that as long as

2135
01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels stays healthy. It's just the way that the turnaround.

2136
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:26,840
Speaker 1: And this is maybe the most stunning part to me

2137
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 1: is that all we talk about now for the first

2138
01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:33,280
Speaker 1: time in years with Washington is football. Like we're not

2139
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: talking about ownership, we're not talking about the coach, we're

2140
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:37,880
Speaker 1: not talking about any We're just talking about the team

2141
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:40,439
Speaker 1: on the field. And like the fact that we've gotten

2142
01:53:40,479 --> 01:53:43,679
Speaker 1: there so fast, which Aiden Daniels just shows you how

2143
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:45,640
Speaker 1: for every fan base right now that since there it

2144
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:47,960
Speaker 1: says my favorite team sucks, you got to require my

2145
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 1: team's never gonna win the game until my owner has

2146
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:53,280
Speaker 1: to sell. I hear that all the time from people.

2147
01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 1: It's like, until this Paul mask to sell this football team,

2148
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:57,960
Speaker 1: they're never gonna win games, exactly the same thing they

2149
01:53:58,040 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 1: said about the Texans. They're fine, you know, and I

2150
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:04,080
Speaker 1: know Washington was sold, but like, let's get it real here.

2151
01:54:04,200 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 1: You get your quarterback, you get your coach, you can

2152
01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 1: be just fine. And that second straight year we have

2153
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:10,720
Speaker 1: an indication of that. It's wild to me.

2154
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, now I feel you on that. All right,

2155
01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:16,760
Speaker 2: let's take time out, we'll come back. We'll go to

2156
01:54:16,840 --> 01:54:22,280
Speaker 2: the AFC as we continue real or for Gayzy FITZI,

2157
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:26,160
Speaker 2: because hanging right here in Fox Sports Radio, take it away, FITZI.

2158
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:30,120
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. If this doesn't make you

2159
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:32,240
Speaker 1: want to run out and buy a record player, like

2160
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:34,560
Speaker 1: some things just were meant to be played on vinyl,

2161
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm not snob with this. You give me that little

2162
01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: hiss of an album being played on vinyl and it's

2163
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:46,040
Speaker 1: got that Sinatra vi. Oh. By the way, this is

2164
01:54:46,080 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 1: also a reminder my our buddy El Duncan. A long

2165
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:52,360
Speaker 1: time ago, I was sitting at this place called the Butterfly.

2166
01:54:52,560 --> 01:54:55,760
Speaker 1: It's karaoke place in Hartford, and there was a guy

2167
01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 1: standing up singing my Way, and I remember Elle looking

2168
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: at me saying, why do you guys always sing this?

2169
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:03,320
Speaker 1: Because I was the only white guy in the room

2170
01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:05,280
Speaker 1: other than the guy singing my Way, I was like,

2171
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 1: why do you guys always sing this? And my answer

2172
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 1: was because it's awesome. You know, there's just something about

2173
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:14,080
Speaker 1: Sinatra that just works. Karaoke. Get me my way, I'll

2174
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:15,760
Speaker 1: go in, I'll crush it, and then I'll walk out

2175
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 1: of the room. It's just oh so good, so good. Look,

2176
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,800
Speaker 1: Mighty Mark's got me in my feels this morning, like

2177
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:25,880
Speaker 1: toe tapping, just smiling, ear to ear. God, this is

2178
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:28,440
Speaker 1: the way to start a football Saturday. Oh Frank it is.

2179
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mighty Mark is the best.

2180
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 2: We love them all right, Let's go to the AFC

2181
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 2: the reel of for gays or we believe it. In

2182
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:40,520
Speaker 2: these teams, you kind of crystallize after this period. Right

2183
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 2: as we enter a week six, we kind of get

2184
01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 2: an idea now of who's who. I can't believe her?

2185
01:55:47,160 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 2: A week six already slow with them and bleeped down. Man,

2186
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 2: this is what I hate. It goes by too fast.

2187
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 2: Let's start with in the East. Well, can THEAYFC East

2188
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 2: right off the Patriot It's right off to Dolphins, I mean,

2189
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 2: the Jets in Sala and the news.

2190
01:56:07,360 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 3: I mean, can that thing get fixed? No?

2191
01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:16,600
Speaker 1: It just can't. And I think it's funny that everybody thinks, oh, well,

2192
01:56:16,640 --> 01:56:21,040
Speaker 1: firing Nathaniel Hacketts. Look, I understand that bringing in an

2193
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:24,160
Speaker 1: interim coach has worked for even my beloved Raiders. Rich

2194
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 1: Pasacia and then Antonio Pierce both managed to turn them

2195
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 1: around the way those teams felt. Those were bad football

2196
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:32,360
Speaker 1: teams that were making a run to the playoffs. If

2197
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:35,800
Speaker 1: your expectation is a super Bowl, if you truly believe

2198
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:38,720
Speaker 1: you are in a super Bowl window, like this is

2199
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:42,760
Speaker 1: your year right now? When is an interim coach ever

2200
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:46,160
Speaker 1: delivered that result? And now eve an interim coach with

2201
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 1: a new play caller, everything is changing. You're basically handing

2202
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:52,160
Speaker 1: it all over to Aaron Rodgers. You're begging Aaron to

2203
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 1: be happy because if he leaves after this year, boy,

2204
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:58,320
Speaker 1: the salary cap ramifications are significant. You're trying to figure

2205
01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:03,000
Speaker 1: this thing out right now. I hear it, everybody say DeVante, DeVante, DeVante. Okay,

2206
01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe figure out how to make the most out of

2207
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson first thirteen catches last week where they're forcing

2208
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:10,000
Speaker 1: him the ball at depth the target of like eight

2209
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 1: nine yards, Like what are we doing? Like so you

2210
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:14,960
Speaker 1: think bringing in another receiver when you're not using the

2211
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 1: one you have is the way to fix this?

2212
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:22,720
Speaker 3: Come on, I agree, Bills, I.

2213
01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 1: Think real, I think we're all a little uncomfortable with

2214
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, who is that guy that he can force

2215
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:31,200
Speaker 1: the ball to to get that third and six I

2216
01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:32,920
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. I think we're all a little bit

2217
01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with that. But I think the Bills are real,

2218
01:57:35,040 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 1: don't you.

2219
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Buffalo. I believe in the run game,

2220
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:44,000
Speaker 2: and I believe that. Listen because I believe in Alan

2221
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 2: and you know, I like their tight ends. I'm fine

2222
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:54,160
Speaker 2: with Bills. I think the Bills are fine. Let's go

2223
01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:59,520
Speaker 2: to South Man. The South is really interesting. It looks

2224
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 2: like Jacksonville, looks like Doug is Doug Peterson's the next

2225
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 2: one to go.

2226
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the question is how many coaches will

2227
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence get fired before people start to look at

2228
01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I don't nobody wants to ask questions about Trevor.

2229
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:17,720
Speaker 1: But let's be real culture pretender. The Titans are for

2230
01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:20,960
Speaker 1: gay Zy that and then obviously I think the Jags

2231
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 1: are The Jags are a joke at.

2232
01:58:22,280 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 2: This point, I know, I know, I actually think the

2233
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:30,920
Speaker 2: Jag The Titans beat the Colts tomorrow.

2234
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:34,120
Speaker 1: Even with Will Levis injured, Like Will Levis is still

2235
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 1: the Titans quarterback and I think they win that game.

2236
01:58:36,080 --> 01:58:39,720
Speaker 1: That is crazy. I mean, he's objectively terrible.

2237
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:44,280
Speaker 2: Where the fellas will come back. We'll continue the conversation

2238

02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:35,840
Speaker 2: lots to do. We're just talking about it, just to

2269
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:42,120
Speaker 2: restart it. The Dodgers and Padres last night just incredible theater, right,

2270
02:00:42,600 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 2: and you could just smell it, smell the desperation with

2271
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:48,000
Speaker 2: the Padres.

2272
02:00:49,200 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the ability for the calm to sort of

2273
02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:59,160
Speaker 1: come over the Dodgers in that same situation. Just I

2274
02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 1: continued to think back to how much tension there was

2275
02:01:03,400 --> 02:01:06,200
Speaker 1: in that game, and not just in night. I think

2276
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 1: we're used to ninth inning tension. It felt like that

2277
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: game was tense by the middle of the fourth, right,

2278
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:14,520
Speaker 1: like everybody was just everybody started to breathe a little

2279
02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:17,400
Speaker 1: more shallow. I loved what you said earlier, turned the

2280
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 1: bats into sawdust. It just it felt like there were

2281
02:01:20,280 --> 02:01:23,520
Speaker 1: so many moments here, and frankly, those were the moments

2282
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,400
Speaker 1: that if I'm being real, I'm watching and I'm thinking,

2283
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 1: you know what, we're about to have show hey, moment,

2284
02:01:27,080 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 1: show Hey, He's about to go out there and do

2285
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:32,560
Speaker 1: something incredible, and he didn't, you know, and they hit

2286
02:01:32,600 --> 02:01:34,800
Speaker 1: the meat of that lineup repeatedly where it was like, Okay,

2287
02:01:34,840 --> 02:01:36,560
Speaker 1: you know what, everything's gonna be fine because you got

2288
02:01:36,560 --> 02:01:39,320
Speaker 1: show Hey and Mookie, they're gonna they're gonna get something

2289
02:01:39,360 --> 02:01:41,760
Speaker 1: going here, and they didn't. And I thought it was

2290
02:01:41,840 --> 02:01:46,160
Speaker 1: just such a back and forth, heavyweight bout of big

2291
02:01:46,240 --> 02:01:49,800
Speaker 1: punches being landed by both pitching staffs. I just that

2292
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: was really the beautiful art in that matchup. Was that

2293
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:55,760
Speaker 1: that everything about that game just felt like the chess

2294
02:01:55,800 --> 02:01:58,720
Speaker 1: match between pitchers and hitters was being won by the

2295
02:01:58,720 --> 02:02:02,440
Speaker 1: pitchers repeatedly and the hitters had no answer. I'm I'm

2296
02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 1: still stunned by how much we saw great pitching take

2297
02:02:06,120 --> 02:02:08,600
Speaker 1: out great superstars in one game.

2298
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with you too, Like,

2299
02:02:12,120 --> 02:02:15,320
Speaker 2: especially after the way the series began, you know, the

2300
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 2: series began, I mean San Diego was.

2301
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:21,280
Speaker 3: Raking. I mean they have a terrific lineup.

2302
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:28,000
Speaker 2: Our eyes Tatis who was hot early, right Profar Machado.

2303
02:02:28,880 --> 02:02:31,080
Speaker 2: I mean they come at Jackson Merrill, who's one of

2304
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:34,600
Speaker 2: the great young stars of the game, who's had some

2305
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:38,760
Speaker 2: great moments in the postseason in the Wildcard round against

2306
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:41,080
Speaker 2: Atlanta and then early on against the Dodgers.

2307
02:02:41,720 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 3: Certainly in Game two when.

2308
02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm shocked when they're up to one, I thought it

2309
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 2: was a rap man, And I'll be honest with me.

2310
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:51,720
Speaker 3: We talked about this. I know you're a five game

2311
02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:52,280
Speaker 3: series guy.

2312
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 2: This is where I want to see a seven game series,

2313
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:58,360
Speaker 2: like I want to see this game because chances are

2314
02:02:58,440 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 2: that game that series goes set.

2315
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 3: I like to see these teams keep going at it.

2316
02:03:02,840 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 2: But it was, uh, it really was shocking how the

2317
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 2: Padres and I just think they grew tight.

2318
02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:09,120
Speaker 10: Man.

2319
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:14,120
Speaker 2: It's you're right, like you could start to feel it.

2320
02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:18,840
Speaker 2: The pressure becomes palpable right around the third fourth inning

2321
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 2: early and it's like one run feels like five. I mean,

2322
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:27,920
Speaker 2: pitching is so ahead of hitting right now.

2323
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:31,080
Speaker 3: It was funny.

2324
02:03:31,080 --> 02:03:34,040
Speaker 2: I brought my friend of mine earlier to you, David Segee,

2325
02:03:34,040 --> 02:03:36,000
Speaker 2: who played thirteen years in the major leagues.

2326
02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:39,400
Speaker 3: He is he's a great hitting guy.

2327
02:03:39,960 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 2: And we were talking about, you know, some of these

2328
02:03:42,680 --> 02:03:46,920
Speaker 2: series and you saw Baltimore go out early, you saw

2329
02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 2: the Phillies go out, and it's their approach just not

2330
02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:54,880
Speaker 2: not good approach, Like the idea of just trying to

2331
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:58,560
Speaker 2: hit home runs and launch agles. That just doesn't work

2332
02:03:58,560 --> 02:04:01,839
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and not against these pitch these this pitching.

2333
02:04:01,880 --> 02:04:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the Mets. One of the great

2334
02:04:04,320 --> 02:04:09,200
Speaker 2: story of the Mets is they are a pesky squad man,

2335
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:13,280
Speaker 2: like they'll manufacture runs. The Tigers are on the brick

2336
02:04:13,320 --> 02:04:18,080
Speaker 2: of beating the Guardians because they manufacture runs, move runners

2337
02:04:18,120 --> 02:04:22,120
Speaker 2: over right, less than two outs, a runner on third,

2338
02:04:22,200 --> 02:04:23,240
Speaker 2: they get the run home.

2339
02:04:24,360 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: It's interesting the way you say that with the Tigers,

2340
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:29,920
Speaker 1: because that's it's funny that simple advancer runners. Baseball has

2341
02:04:29,960 --> 02:04:32,320
Speaker 1: become plucky, you know what I mean, Like that's become

2342
02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:34,160
Speaker 1: this is a gritty team and it's like all they're

2343
02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:38,320
Speaker 1: doing is just advancing runners. And it's so simple when

2344
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:41,240
Speaker 1: you hear it said that way, it's so difficult to

2345
02:04:41,360 --> 02:04:43,840
Speaker 1: do though, I mean, how often do we see and.

2346
02:04:44,080 --> 02:04:48,200
Speaker 2: It's really not it's not if you sure, if you

2347
02:04:48,320 --> 02:04:52,680
Speaker 2: have a correct approach it's not as difficult, but if

2348
02:04:52,720 --> 02:04:56,360
Speaker 2: you're trying to do that with a launch angle, it's difficult,

2349
02:04:56,960 --> 02:05:00,960
Speaker 2: Like you can't. Like, here's the difference mod in the

2350
02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:06,400
Speaker 2: last five to seven years. They don't shorten your swing

2351
02:05:06,480 --> 02:05:10,240
Speaker 2: on with two strikes. There's no two strike approach. It's

2352
02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:16,600
Speaker 2: because strikeouts were deemed okay by the analytics. They don't

2353
02:05:16,640 --> 02:05:19,880
Speaker 2: shorten their structure. Taught not to shorten their strokes, which

2354
02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:21,920
Speaker 2: is ridiculous because we all know that you need to

2355
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 2: put the ball in play. Like in the playoffs, it's

2356
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:27,960
Speaker 2: amplified like you got to put the ball in play.

2357
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:31,880
Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned the analytics, and you know, I

2358
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,760
Speaker 1: wonder at what point, because that's part of your identity.

2359
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: You can't just change going from regular season baseball to

2360
02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:40,640
Speaker 1: playoff baseball. You're not suddenly changing the way you approach

2361
02:05:40,640 --> 02:05:43,040
Speaker 1: every at bat. Like it's just not realistically. You're not

2362
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:45,840
Speaker 1: changing your you know, to your point lounch angles and

2363
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:48,920
Speaker 1: swing approach. It is going to be interesting over time

2364
02:05:49,240 --> 02:05:52,160
Speaker 1: if the analytics bear out that, hey, maybe there's a

2365
02:05:52,160 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 1: different way to do this, Maybe there's a better way

2366
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 1: to do this that actually leads to you know, sustained

2367
02:05:57,240 --> 02:06:00,000
Speaker 1: playoff success because you're right, and in a copycat league,

2368
02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:02,440
Speaker 1: let's face it, how many teams are looking at it

2369
02:06:02,440 --> 02:06:05,240
Speaker 1: and saying, okay, well what did the Dodgers do? What

2370
02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 1: are the Mets doing that's getting them where they are

2371
02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:09,800
Speaker 1: right now? How many teams that are looking at it

2372
02:06:09,800 --> 02:06:12,000
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, this might be our path to success.

2373
02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:14,200
Speaker 1: It does become interesting.

2374
02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:17,960
Speaker 2: It's all the analytics is pushed everything toward the home

2375
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 2: run right right right, So it's like, well, you know,

2376
02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:24,080
Speaker 2: just go for home runs. So that's why launch angle

2377
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:29,400
Speaker 2: was pushed because you were trying to hit home runs.

2378
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:33,080
Speaker 2: And because you were trying to hit home runs, the

2379
02:06:33,120 --> 02:06:36,360
Speaker 2: analytics where well, it doesn't matter if you strike out,

2380
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 2: because if you hit a home run one out of.

2381
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:42,240
Speaker 3: Every six at bats, I don't know, I'm just making

2382
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:45,080
Speaker 3: up a number. It'll prove worth it.

2383
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:48,080
Speaker 2: But the problem that thinking is in the playhoffs that

2384
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:51,360
Speaker 2: doesn't that's not the case, man, Like you got it. Like,

2385
02:06:51,400 --> 02:06:57,240
Speaker 2: there's some basic tenets of every sport we're talking about

2386
02:06:57,280 --> 02:07:01,600
Speaker 2: baseball now that works, which is move a runner over,

2387
02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:04,840
Speaker 2: go from first to third, right, hit behind, if you

2388
02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:07,720
Speaker 2: got if you got two one, then nobody out hit

2389
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:09,760
Speaker 2: the ball on the right side and get to get

2390
02:07:09,800 --> 02:07:12,880
Speaker 2: them the second and third and they hit a ground ball,

2391
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:15,480
Speaker 2: don't strike out, give me ground ball and I got

2392
02:07:15,520 --> 02:07:17,720
Speaker 2: a run. I mean, that's what the Tigers are doing

2393
02:07:18,280 --> 02:07:22,320
Speaker 2: that the Mets. The Mets approach at the plate was

2394
02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:23,600
Speaker 2: really good.

2395
02:07:24,120 --> 02:07:27,640
Speaker 3: They're really I mean, they're they're approach. They're tough outs.

2396
02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:32,680
Speaker 2: The big home runs, but they've been they've been, they've

2397
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:34,960
Speaker 2: been burned down. They grind out of bats, the Mets.

2398
02:07:35,400 --> 02:07:38,240
Speaker 1: But then you balance that with the Dodgers, who produced

2399
02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:40,520
Speaker 1: the majority of their runs from home runs, right, Like,

2400
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:43,960
Speaker 1: that's just so, which, yeah, I guess it's just however

2401
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:45,640
Speaker 1: you're bilt to be able to handle it. But the

2402
02:07:45,680 --> 02:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Dodgers walls.

2403
02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:48,560
Speaker 2: You had the Dodgers payroll, you can do that, right,

2404
02:07:48,680 --> 02:07:52,600
Speaker 2: I mean, but but that said, the Phillies have the

2405
02:07:52,640 --> 02:07:57,360
Speaker 2: same payroll and they didn't didn't work out for them.

2406
02:07:58,160 --> 02:08:02,640
Speaker 1: There's that's every bat, every at bat is risk reward

2407
02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:06,640
Speaker 1: if you're going for that strategy, right, which means every

2408
02:08:06,800 --> 02:08:10,520
Speaker 1: playoff series becomes risk reward. You know, the reward is

2409
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:12,919
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. The risk is the Phillies in this situation,

2410
02:08:13,080 --> 02:08:15,320
Speaker 1: and you know, if you're comfortable living and dying on

2411
02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:18,240
Speaker 1: that hill. I guess it works, but man, I do

2412
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:20,400
Speaker 1: like seeing another way to get it done. And again

2413
02:08:20,440 --> 02:08:22,360
Speaker 1: we'll relate it to every sport. You know, the fact

2414
02:08:22,440 --> 02:08:26,280
Speaker 1: is we live in a spread offense society that wants

2415
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:28,720
Speaker 1: to turn everything into a passing down in every situation

2416
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 1: at every level of football. Which is why I think

2417
02:08:31,240 --> 02:08:33,680
Speaker 1: there's power in seeing teams like Baltimore come in and say,

2418
02:08:33,680 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: from these spreads, we're gonna run, and we're going to

2419
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:38,560
Speaker 1: run effectively and hard, and people aren't going to be

2420
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:40,120
Speaker 1: prepared to stop it. Like you got to have more

2421
02:08:40,160 --> 02:08:42,440
Speaker 1: than one way to skin a cat, right, So you know,

2422
02:08:42,520 --> 02:08:44,880
Speaker 1: maybe maybe at least the Dodgers and Mets give hope

2423
02:08:45,120 --> 02:08:46,960
Speaker 1: to a different way to skin a cat. The question

2424
02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:51,160
Speaker 1: is just what happens next. Like, let's presume I should

2425
02:08:51,200 --> 02:08:54,080
Speaker 1: say thet the Tigers and the Mets, not the Dodgers

2426
02:08:54,120 --> 02:08:57,360
Speaker 1: in the Mets. So you presume this moves forward. You know,

2427
02:08:57,440 --> 02:09:00,000
Speaker 1: if you have a team that patiently in the playoffs

2428
02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:03,040
Speaker 1: turns around and just advances the runner like you said,

2429
02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:05,960
Speaker 1: and wins a World Series, then everybody's gonna turn around

2430
02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:07,520
Speaker 1: and say that's the way you do it. If the

2431
02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers turned around and win a World Series. And the

2432
02:09:09,240 --> 02:09:10,840
Speaker 1: answer is gonna be, let's just keep hitting the long

2433
02:09:10,880 --> 02:09:12,520
Speaker 1: ball whenever and however we can.

2434
02:09:12,600 --> 02:09:14,480
Speaker 2: Because yeah, but I don't know that that's I don't

2435
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:18,120
Speaker 2: know that that's the case, right, Like, honestly, I don't

2436
02:09:18,120 --> 02:09:21,520
Speaker 2: really know that that's the case. The Dodgers out last

2437
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:25,120
Speaker 2: to the Padres. I mean, I can't tell you how

2438
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:30,360
Speaker 2: they did it using thirteen pitchers. I mean, and I

2439
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:33,840
Speaker 2: think it's more of a case of the Padres growing tight,

2440
02:09:33,960 --> 02:09:37,520
Speaker 2: like they they were tight. Their bats weren't good. They

2441
02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:41,000
Speaker 2: didn't have a good approach last night. The last two games.

2442
02:09:41,960 --> 02:09:44,480
Speaker 2: They're not jumping, they're not You got to think your

2443
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:47,760
Speaker 2: way through things when you're looking at the mount, like

2444
02:09:47,800 --> 02:09:48,600
Speaker 2: what's he thrown?

2445
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:51,480
Speaker 3: When? What's my approach? You know?

2446
02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:55,600
Speaker 2: I mean, And and everybody, here's the thing, especially when

2447
02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:59,280
Speaker 2: you're using that many pictures. And I'll get a little

2448
02:09:59,280 --> 02:10:01,480
Speaker 2: inside baseball, and I promise I'll get out of it.

2449
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:06,560
Speaker 2: But everybody's taught to hit off the fastball, right like

2450
02:10:07,560 --> 02:10:10,360
Speaker 2: you hit off the you like you're gonna hunt fastball.

2451
02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:15,400
Speaker 2: But now pitchers are smart pictures. Go, I'm not giving in,

2452
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:20,520
Speaker 2: So you gotta hit. You gotta start looking the better

2453
02:10:20,640 --> 02:10:23,920
Speaker 2: depending on who's on the mound looking breaking we're looking

2454
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:27,720
Speaker 2: off speed or looking change up right, looking breaking pitch

2455
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:31,120
Speaker 2: or looking change up like you you you can't just

2456
02:10:31,200 --> 02:10:34,520
Speaker 2: hunt fastballs because you're not going to get them.

2457
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean we saw that last night, just repeatedly. The

2458
02:10:38,160 --> 02:10:41,840
Speaker 1: amount of time that it was eighty three, eighty two,

2459
02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:45,120
Speaker 1: eighty one. Like, there were a lot of speed stuff,

2460
02:10:45,120 --> 02:10:47,760
Speaker 1: which which I thought, you know, frankly.

2461
02:10:47,440 --> 02:10:49,400
Speaker 3: Would you throw Maddie Machado a fastball?

2462
02:10:49,520 --> 02:10:52,320
Speaker 1: And no, God, no, no, never, right, were you gonna.

2463
02:10:52,080 --> 02:10:53,600
Speaker 3: Throw tatis one? No?

2464
02:10:54,320 --> 02:10:57,680
Speaker 2: Right, You're not doing that. So you're you're gonna live

2465
02:10:57,720 --> 02:11:00,520
Speaker 2: on the tightrope and you're gonna try to catch. I've

2466
02:11:00,600 --> 02:11:03,280
Speaker 2: been using this all week, pitched with Guile. That's how

2467
02:11:03,280 --> 02:11:07,560
Speaker 2: the Mets won the Mets one with Guile, Menaya and

2468
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:10,680
Speaker 2: Quintana and Peterson out of a bullpen.

2469
02:11:11,720 --> 02:11:11,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

2470
02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:14,880
Speaker 2: They won by you know, keeping the Phillies hitters off

2471
02:11:14,920 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 2: balance and not giving them fastballs so they could drive them.

2472
02:11:18,720 --> 02:11:22,440
Speaker 2: Look at the biggest hit in that series was Lindor right,

2473
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:24,760
Speaker 2: and you know what happened in that and that at

2474
02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:29,880
Speaker 2: that the Phillies had their closer in bases loaded, he

2475
02:11:29,960 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 2: throws fire. He threw Lindor four straight fastballs, four straight gassers.

2476
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:42,560
Speaker 2: Now he throws one hundred God bless them. But a

2477
02:11:42,600 --> 02:11:47,040
Speaker 2: guy like Lindor, Francisco Lindor will be able to catch

2478
02:11:47,120 --> 02:11:49,760
Speaker 2: up to one hundred and one mile an hour fastball

2479
02:11:50,120 --> 02:11:51,840
Speaker 2: when you give it to him for the fourth time

2480
02:11:51,880 --> 02:11:52,440
Speaker 2: in a row.

2481
02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:54,720
Speaker 3: He's a great hitter.

2482
02:11:55,160 --> 02:11:57,840
Speaker 2: He'll adapt, he'll catch up to it, and then he'll

2483
02:11:57,880 --> 02:11:59,120
Speaker 2: deposit it like he did.

2484
02:11:59,800 --> 02:12:02,240
Speaker 1: That makes sense to you, yeah, one hundred percent. But

2485
02:12:02,280 --> 02:12:04,480
Speaker 1: what you're part of, what you're talking about here that

2486
02:12:04,520 --> 02:12:07,720
Speaker 1: I think is really interesting is a patient approach. You know,

2487
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:10,040
Speaker 1: we started this out talking about a patient approach to

2488
02:12:10,080 --> 02:12:12,480
Speaker 1: the at bat. It also feels like you need to

2489
02:12:12,480 --> 02:12:15,200
Speaker 1: have a patient approach as a pitcher too, Like you know, hey,

2490
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:17,640
Speaker 1: we're just gonna see this thing out. Like there there

2491
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 1: is a level of the natural instinct is I'm gonna

2492
02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:22,200
Speaker 1: throw my hardest and you're not going to be able

2493
02:12:22,200 --> 02:12:24,920
Speaker 1: to hit it. Like that's that's just a never level

2494
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:27,040
Speaker 1: of natural instinct. But what you're talking about is much

2495
02:12:27,080 --> 02:12:30,120
Speaker 1: more of a hey, we're gonna take this really super

2496
02:12:30,200 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: patient approach. I'm going to extend this at bet, I'm

2497
02:12:33,080 --> 02:12:34,680
Speaker 1: not going to give you what you want. I'm going

2498
02:12:34,720 --> 02:12:36,640
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to force you to be

2499
02:12:36,760 --> 02:12:39,040
Speaker 1: off the entire time. Like that just takes the different

2500
02:12:39,320 --> 02:12:41,840
Speaker 1: It's almost counterintuitive, but if you can get somebody to

2501
02:12:41,840 --> 02:12:43,120
Speaker 1: do that, you can have a ton of success.

2502
02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:48,400
Speaker 2: It's called pitching backwards. But that's what And again it's

2503
02:12:48,440 --> 02:12:51,000
Speaker 2: funny because my man Nikki just checked chimes in and

2504
02:12:51,080 --> 02:12:56,280
Speaker 2: says analytics is a hindrance for postseason success success because

2505
02:12:56,320 --> 02:13:00,840
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, every pitch is purposely thrown to neutralize

2506
02:13:00,840 --> 02:13:06,000
Speaker 2: the batter. And he's right, like that, that's why you

2507
02:13:06,200 --> 02:13:09,000
Speaker 2: have to You can't just hit off the fastball because

2508
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:11,640
Speaker 2: you're not gonna get a fastball. So you have to

2509
02:13:11,720 --> 02:13:14,600
Speaker 2: lock in. You gotta what you gotta do. And it

2510
02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:18,000
Speaker 2: was funny because I was having this conversation with Sagi

2511
02:13:18,200 --> 02:13:21,960
Speaker 2: and another great baseball guy, Charlie Manuel, which is you

2512
02:13:22,040 --> 02:13:25,160
Speaker 2: got to cut off half the plate, like you gotta

2513
02:13:25,200 --> 02:13:28,200
Speaker 2: spit on anything that comes at any other part of

2514
02:13:28,240 --> 02:13:31,040
Speaker 2: the play Like you got to pick your pick, your's

2515
02:13:31,080 --> 02:13:33,800
Speaker 2: part of the plate that you want to attack and

2516
02:13:33,880 --> 02:13:36,360
Speaker 2: anything that's like, so if it's the inside the middle

2517
02:13:36,440 --> 02:13:39,040
Speaker 2: end you're gonna stay there, or if it's on the

2518
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:41,040
Speaker 2: outside of the plate, you're gonna stay there and you're

2519
02:13:41,040 --> 02:13:42,240
Speaker 2: gonna spit on everything else.

2520
02:13:43,040 --> 02:13:45,800
Speaker 3: So you gotta look for that. Like that's the mindset

2521
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:46,240
Speaker 3: going in.

2522
02:13:48,400 --> 02:13:52,360
Speaker 1: It's it's funny the way you say that, because again,

2523
02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:54,560
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what we saw in the broadcast

2524
02:13:54,640 --> 02:13:57,520
Speaker 1: last night, where you saw they were breaking on the

2525
02:13:57,560 --> 02:13:59,200
Speaker 1: pitches and they were stopping to show you that the

2526
02:13:59,200 --> 02:14:01,080
Speaker 1: motion was the exact same, but then we were getting

2527
02:14:01,080 --> 02:14:04,920
Speaker 1: pitches of wildly different location and speed from that exact

2528
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:07,760
Speaker 1: same spot, which was making it incredibly difficult for the

2529
02:14:07,800 --> 02:14:09,440
Speaker 1: batters to figure out what was coming and how it

2530
02:14:09,480 --> 02:14:12,440
Speaker 1: was coming. To all of that, it speaks to if

2531
02:14:12,440 --> 02:14:16,320
Speaker 1: you're going to if you can accomplish that level of

2532
02:14:16,960 --> 02:14:20,080
Speaker 1: knowing exactly where you're throwing or what you're hitting for,

2533
02:14:20,720 --> 02:14:22,720
Speaker 1: it hits differently. I don't even think, and I keep

2534
02:14:22,720 --> 02:14:24,400
Speaker 1: going back to show Hey, it felt like there were

2535
02:14:24,440 --> 02:14:27,400
Speaker 1: times there were at bats last night where Showhy was impatient.

2536
02:14:27,440 --> 02:14:28,800
Speaker 1: It just felt like they were at bats where he

2537
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:31,640
Speaker 1: was swinging and stuff that didn't any sense, And you know,

2538
02:14:31,720 --> 02:14:34,680
Speaker 1: it is just there's this moment in that and I

2539
02:14:34,720 --> 02:14:37,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it's tight as you say, for either side,

2540
02:14:37,920 --> 02:14:40,560
Speaker 1: but they're definitely in last night's matchup, felt like there

2541
02:14:40,560 --> 02:14:45,440
Speaker 1: were times where there just suddenly weren't. They weren't doing

2542
02:14:45,480 --> 02:14:47,640
Speaker 1: what made sense, And like, I don't know if that's

2543
02:14:47,640 --> 02:14:48,640
Speaker 1: tight in the moment.

2544
02:14:48,360 --> 02:14:51,000
Speaker 2: Or that's what That's what happens when you grip the bat.

2545
02:14:52,120 --> 02:14:53,920
Speaker 2: That's what happens when you grip the bat, and that's

2546
02:14:53,920 --> 02:14:58,000
Speaker 2: what happens. Also, like again, you're not getting if you're

2547
02:14:58,080 --> 02:15:01,160
Speaker 2: Madda Chado or your tat Tea or your show a

2548
02:15:02,080 --> 02:15:04,160
Speaker 2: no pitcher is gonna give you fastballs. You think you're

2549
02:15:04,200 --> 02:15:08,880
Speaker 2: getting cookies. This isn't July, right, Like the guys are

2550
02:15:08,880 --> 02:15:13,480
Speaker 2: gonna be every pitch is carefully procured, right, Like that's

2551
02:15:13,520 --> 02:15:16,520
Speaker 2: what it is, like, you're not getting that stuff. I'm

2552
02:15:16,520 --> 02:15:18,560
Speaker 2: not going to gamble and try to sneak a first

2553
02:15:18,560 --> 02:15:19,600
Speaker 2: pitch fastball by it.

2554
02:15:21,440 --> 02:15:26,360
Speaker 1: That's it's it's just wild to me when you're seeing

2555
02:15:26,360 --> 02:15:28,840
Speaker 1: this many pitchers and you're seeing this many pitches in

2556
02:15:28,920 --> 02:15:32,680
Speaker 1: this like just the amount of absolutely in a world,

2557
02:15:32,760 --> 02:15:35,520
Speaker 1: in a world where we've done everything we possibly can

2558
02:15:35,640 --> 02:15:39,200
Speaker 1: to speed up baseball. I kept thinking last night how

2559
02:15:39,240 --> 02:15:41,960
Speaker 1: difficult it has to be for everybody involved that we've

2560
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:44,520
Speaker 1: sped up this game and now like we're asking everybody

2561
02:15:44,520 --> 02:15:46,560
Speaker 1: to slow it down internally while we're speeding up what

2562
02:15:46,560 --> 02:15:49,080
Speaker 1: they're seeing and just the rotation of pitchers that they're

2563
02:15:49,120 --> 02:15:51,360
Speaker 1: seeing in the process of doing it. I'm telling you

2564
02:15:51,600 --> 02:15:54,680
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty mind blowing. It's not as simple as

2565
02:15:54,720 --> 02:15:56,120
Speaker 1: just step up to the plate and hit a ball,

2566
02:15:56,400 --> 02:15:58,880
Speaker 1: and it's I think so often in society we make

2567
02:15:58,880 --> 02:16:01,560
Speaker 1: it about that, especially casuals like me make it buch,

2568
02:16:01,680 --> 02:16:03,880
Speaker 1: just get up there, need to get a hit. The

2569
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:05,760
Speaker 1: chess match of all of this was pretty wild.

2570
02:16:05,920 --> 02:16:08,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing that I truly I love about

2571
02:16:08,280 --> 02:16:12,240
Speaker 2: the sport is the chess match of it, right, like

2572
02:16:12,360 --> 02:16:15,320
Speaker 2: the pitcher versus the hitter. There was a great I

2573
02:16:15,680 --> 02:16:30,560
Speaker 2: highly recommend you google Greg Maddox. It was Maddox and Bigio. Yeah,

2574
02:16:30,600 --> 02:16:35,000
Speaker 2: I think it was Craig Bigio. Anyway, the story is

2575
02:16:35,640 --> 02:16:41,160
Speaker 2: it is the Braves are winning eight nothing right, and

2576
02:16:41,360 --> 02:16:46,760
Speaker 2: he has a meeting with Hobvey Lopez catcher and he's like,

2577
02:16:47,640 --> 02:16:50,920
Speaker 2: you're talking about how they pitch each guy, and I

2578
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:52,840
Speaker 2: want to say it's Bugio. I think it was Busio

2579
02:16:52,920 --> 02:16:57,360
Speaker 2: or Kevin Edti, one of the power guys, and he's

2580
02:16:57,360 --> 02:17:00,440
Speaker 2: like he likes the ball up all right, like up

2581
02:17:00,480 --> 02:17:09,039
Speaker 2: and up and inside, and Maddox serves it up. He

2582
02:17:09,280 --> 02:17:11,320
Speaker 2: serves up a home run. It was a meaningless home

2583
02:17:11,400 --> 02:17:13,920
Speaker 2: run because there were a winning eight one and Habby

2584
02:17:13,959 --> 02:17:17,400
Speaker 2: Lopez goes, dude, why did you do that? Why you

2585
02:17:17,640 --> 02:17:19,920
Speaker 2: like why because maddixs Andy hit his spots no matter what.

2586
02:17:20,720 --> 02:17:24,320
Speaker 2: So Maddix goes, yeah, there's gonna be a time when

2587
02:17:25,240 --> 02:17:26,880
Speaker 2: I it's a two.

2588
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:27,160
Speaker 3: Oh.

2589
02:17:27,320 --> 02:17:29,720
Speaker 2: It was like an one to two pitch. I forget

2590
02:17:29,720 --> 02:17:31,280
Speaker 2: the account, but the count was like one two or

2591
02:17:31,280 --> 02:17:34,120
Speaker 2: whatever it was. He's like, he's going to be expecting

2592
02:17:34,160 --> 02:17:36,000
Speaker 2: that same pitch because we're gonna see him again in

2593
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:39,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So in other words, he set him up

2594
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:45,160
Speaker 2: from a regular season game in August to the playoffs

2595
02:17:45,760 --> 02:17:48,920
Speaker 2: and the same thing happened, and he struck him out

2596
02:17:48,959 --> 02:17:53,360
Speaker 2: on the pitch. It was it's unbelievable. You gotta watch it.

2597
02:17:53,360 --> 02:17:56,920
Speaker 2: It's it's talks. It's it's really about the chess match,

2598
02:17:57,360 --> 02:18:01,320
Speaker 2: about each guy. It's what I it's what I think

2599
02:18:01,400 --> 02:18:04,879
Speaker 2: is the most interesting part of the game itself is

2600
02:18:04,920 --> 02:18:09,000
Speaker 2: that in that you know back and forth. Yeah, and

2601
02:18:09,040 --> 02:18:11,320
Speaker 2: we saw I'm sorry if I went down this base I.

2602
02:18:11,720 --> 02:18:14,520
Speaker 1: Love every answer to this because, like for the world,

2603
02:18:14,520 --> 02:18:16,560

2606

Speaker 1: has been, last night was eye opening in the way.

2607
02:18:24,160 --> 02:18:26,920
Speaker 1: It's just it captured it captured the sport. It captured

2608
02:18:26,959 --> 02:18:30,840
Speaker 1: me better, captured me more. I find myself today juiced

2609
02:18:30,879 --> 02:18:32,920
Speaker 1: for baseball in the way that I haven't been in years.

2610
02:18:32,959 --> 02:18:35,040
Speaker 1: So you know, I love every answer to this.

2611
02:18:35,560 --> 02:18:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun, and I'm late like the teams like

2612
02:18:37,959 --> 02:18:40,920
Speaker 2: the Tigers and Cleveland. I mean, that's a good game.

2613
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:43,720
Speaker 2: Five in Cleveland. I love this kid school b man,

02:19:55,720 --> 02:19:58,280
Speaker 7: the Dodgers claim at three games to two. They advanced

Speaker 7: Division Series gonna take place later this afternoon. Game five

2641
02:20:13,440 --> 02:20:16,640
Speaker 7: between the Guardians and Tigers set to get going at

2642
02:20:16,680 --> 02:20:19,720
Speaker 7: one o'clock Eastern time. That game had been moved up

2643
02:20:19,800 --> 02:20:22,920
Speaker 7: because of possible inclement weather in the area, So they're

2644
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:25,560
Speaker 7: gonna try to get that game in before the game

2645
02:20:25,600 --> 02:20:30,240
Speaker 7: could possibly be affected. And in college football, we did

2646
02:20:30,240 --> 02:20:33,520
Speaker 7: have a ranked team in action on Friday, number sixteen,

2647
02:20:33,720 --> 02:20:38,240
Speaker 7: Utah losing Arizona State twenty seven to nineteen. So the

2648
02:20:38,240 --> 02:20:41,320
Speaker 7: Sun Devil is now five and one on the season.

2649
02:20:41,920 --> 02:20:45,640
Speaker 7: Two in one in a Big twelve play, Northwestern a

2650
02:20:45,640 --> 02:20:48,560
Speaker 7: blot win at Maryland thirty seven to ten, and UNLV

2651
02:20:48,680 --> 02:20:53,680
Speaker 7: bouncing back from their loss to improve to six and

2652
02:20:53,840 --> 02:20:56,200
Speaker 7: one on the season a fifty to thirty four win

2653
02:20:56,959 --> 02:20:59,160
Speaker 7: against Utah State.

2654
02:20:59,240 --> 02:21:03,440
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, all right, buddy, here it is

2655
02:21:03,640 --> 02:21:07,119
Speaker 2: as we get ready. Don't forget, by the way, after

2656
02:21:07,280 --> 02:21:13,400
Speaker 2: us count down the kickoff brought to you by bet MGM.

2657
02:21:13,840 --> 02:21:17,039
Speaker 2: As the guys will get ready take a look at

2658
02:21:17,080 --> 02:21:19,480
Speaker 2: the game from a betting standpoint, we'll do the same

2659
02:21:19,600 --> 02:21:20,720
Speaker 2: right now.

2660
02:21:22,040 --> 02:21:23,000
Speaker 3: Let's go for it.

2661
02:21:24,520 --> 02:21:30,720
Speaker 2: Let's start with the college card today, FITZI, we got

2662
02:21:30,720 --> 02:21:31,640
Speaker 2: a couple of good ones.

2663
02:21:31,680 --> 02:21:31,880
Speaker 1: Man.

2664
02:21:32,520 --> 02:21:34,560
Speaker 3: Let's start with the Red River rivalry.

2665
02:21:34,800 --> 02:21:38,880
Speaker 2: So it's Texas Oklahoma and Texas fifteen.

2666
02:21:39,480 --> 02:21:42,560
Speaker 3: I think we both like the Longhorns, right yeah.

2667
02:21:42,560 --> 02:21:44,840
Speaker 1: I like the Longhorse and I like the Longhorns cover here.

2668
02:21:45,760 --> 02:21:47,800
Speaker 1: It's just there's just too many ways they can beat

2669
02:21:47,840 --> 02:21:49,960
Speaker 1: you quin Youewers comes back, Let's see how he looks

2670
02:21:50,440 --> 02:21:53,200
Speaker 1: in this game. Oklahoma's defense is good, as we've talked about,

2671
02:21:53,200 --> 02:21:56,400
Speaker 1: but Texas is good everywhere. And I just man, it's

2672
02:21:56,480 --> 02:21:58,800
Speaker 1: asking a lot of a freshman quarterback for Oklahoma to

2673
02:21:58,840 --> 02:22:01,360
Speaker 1: come in and really be a difference maker in this game.

2674
02:22:01,440 --> 02:22:04,280
Speaker 1: So I think Texas wins, Texas roles and continues to

2675
02:22:04,280 --> 02:22:05,600
Speaker 1: be the number one team in the country.

2676
02:22:05,879 --> 02:22:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Penn State in a game that they need desperately,

2677
02:22:10,120 --> 02:22:11,920
Speaker 2: and I like them today. I think they match up

2678
02:22:11,920 --> 02:22:15,879
Speaker 2: against USC and Penn State needs it. They're the fourth

2679
02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:18,119
Speaker 2: ranked team in the country. We both said, they don't

2680
02:22:18,120 --> 02:22:21,280
Speaker 2: smell like number four in the country. This is good

2681
02:22:21,280 --> 02:22:24,320
Speaker 2: a chance for them, I think, to solidify a playoff spot.

2682
02:22:24,680 --> 02:22:27,920
Speaker 3: So we'll see if Franklin and Aler can get it done.

2683
02:22:28,840 --> 02:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Also, let's remind everybody that while they're the fourth ranked

2684
02:22:31,600 --> 02:22:34,920
Speaker 1: team in the country, the way the College Football Playoff

2685
02:22:34,959 --> 02:22:37,720
Speaker 1: Committee is going to do things, this is important. Remember

2686
02:22:37,720 --> 02:22:40,960
Speaker 1: that the playoffs, the top four conference champions get automatic

2687
02:22:41,040 --> 02:22:43,520
Speaker 1: first round bys and home games, and then the fifth

2688
02:22:43,560 --> 02:22:47,480
Speaker 1: seed goes to the next highest ranked conference champion from

2689
02:22:47,480 --> 02:22:49,840
Speaker 1: the group of five. So Penn State right now, even

2690
02:22:49,840 --> 02:22:52,760
Speaker 1: though they're number four, every game matters for them because,

2691
02:22:52,840 --> 02:22:55,320
Speaker 1: let's face it, if they don't win their conference, and

2692
02:22:55,400 --> 02:22:57,280
Speaker 1: right now, I think it's pretty fair to say that

2693
02:22:57,600 --> 02:23:00,199
Speaker 1: both Ohio State and Oregon would be favored over them.

2694
02:23:00,520 --> 02:23:03,000
Speaker 1: Everything is about playoff seating. So even the number four

2695
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:06,080
Speaker 1: team right now, best case scenario as it stands right

2696
02:23:06,080 --> 02:23:08,240
Speaker 1: now is probably a seven or eight seed in the playoffs.

2697
02:23:08,280 --> 02:23:10,200
Speaker 1: So you want to get the better seating in the

2698
02:23:10,200 --> 02:23:12,240
Speaker 1: home game. Penn State's got to win games like this.

2699
02:23:12,280 --> 02:23:15,040
Speaker 1: We don't talk yet about why there's consequence to some

2700
02:23:15,080 --> 02:23:18,000
Speaker 1: of these wins and losses regular season, but playoff seating

2701
02:23:18,040 --> 02:23:20,200
Speaker 1: at the end of this, considering how many good teams

2702
02:23:20,240 --> 02:23:22,040
Speaker 1: there are in the SEC, how many good teams there

2703
02:23:22,080 --> 02:23:24,400
Speaker 1: are in the Big Ten, playoff seating is gonna matter.

2704
02:23:24,400 --> 02:23:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you can take a loss to a

2705
02:23:25,920 --> 02:23:28,520
Speaker 1: USC team that frankly as they're back against their wall.

2706
02:23:28,560 --> 02:23:31,640
Speaker 1: But you know, USC team that's already lost two conference games.

2707
02:23:31,680 --> 02:23:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Penn State needs come up and keep up

2708
02:23:33,800 --> 02:23:35,960
Speaker 1: with what the rest of the conference is doing. To USC.

2709
02:23:36,280 --> 02:23:37,640
Speaker 1: They need a West Coast win here.

2710
02:23:37,959 --> 02:23:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm hunder percent with you, man, and you

2711
02:23:44,160 --> 02:23:45,680
Speaker 2: got a little bit Tennight's Great Man.

2712
02:23:45,720 --> 02:23:47,000
Speaker 3: Tonight is some good stuff.

2713
02:23:47,440 --> 02:23:52,880
Speaker 2: Florida Tennessee at seven Eastern, four Pacific, Tennessee fourteen and

2714
02:23:52,879 --> 02:23:54,480
Speaker 2: a half against the Gators.

2715
02:23:56,879 --> 02:23:58,959
Speaker 1: I take Tennessee and I take the over on this.

2716
02:23:59,080 --> 02:24:02,160
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee is going to try and get the

2717
02:24:02,200 --> 02:24:06,520
Speaker 1: stink of what Nico Yamlava did last week. Nico is

2718
02:24:06,560 --> 02:24:09,680
Speaker 1: a is a kid playing quarterback. He's a freshman. You

2719
02:24:09,680 --> 02:24:12,120
Speaker 1: could see that he's a kid playing quarterback right like

2720
02:24:12,400 --> 02:24:14,320
Speaker 1: if anyone didn't see the last play of the game,

2721
02:24:14,480 --> 02:24:16,959
Speaker 1: He's running around, tried to make a play, doesn't even

2722
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:18,440
Speaker 1: throw the ball to the end zone, just runs out

2723
02:24:18,480 --> 02:24:20,360
Speaker 1: of pounds. It's like he didn't realize there was zero

2724
02:24:20,400 --> 02:24:22,200
Speaker 1: seconds left on the clock. Didn't even give us team

2725
02:24:22,240 --> 02:24:24,720
Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. He had a forgettable game.

2726
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:27,039
Speaker 1: I think that they try and use this Florida matchup

2727
02:24:27,080 --> 02:24:28,680
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of his confidence back. He

2728
02:24:28,680 --> 02:24:31,480
Speaker 1: puts up some big yards. I still believe in Nico

2729
02:24:31,520 --> 02:24:32,240
Speaker 1: ilama Java.

2730
02:24:32,680 --> 02:24:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just gonna say thing. I think this

2731
02:24:34,800 --> 02:24:36,880
Speaker 2: is one of real volves. Get ready because next week's

2732
02:24:36,920 --> 02:24:40,840
Speaker 2: a big week. So I think they I think they

2733
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:44,280
Speaker 2: this is a primer form Ohio State Oregon. We talked

2734
02:24:44,280 --> 02:24:47,040
Speaker 2: a lot about that game. That is a great, great,

2735
02:24:47,200 --> 02:24:52,800
Speaker 2: great game. Ohio State minus three. Brad likes Oregon in

2736
02:24:52,879 --> 02:24:55,800
Speaker 2: a game you and I are going to buck the brain.

2737
02:24:56,560 --> 02:24:58,800
Speaker 3: We both like Ohio State.

2738
02:25:00,480 --> 02:25:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I'd love for Dylan Gabriel to come

2739
02:25:03,600 --> 02:25:07,080
Speaker 1: in and play really smart, good football. But you know,

2740
02:25:07,200 --> 02:25:09,840
Speaker 1: I keep telling people, don't just read the stat line

2741
02:25:09,840 --> 02:25:12,320
Speaker 1: on Dylan Gabriel, go back and watch. He's made some

2742
02:25:12,440 --> 02:25:15,200
Speaker 1: dangerous throws, some bad throws last week in the red zone,

2743
02:25:15,560 --> 02:25:18,200
Speaker 1: two stupid throws against Michigan State. And that's not the

2744
02:25:18,200 --> 02:25:20,760
Speaker 1: first time. Like every week, I feel like we're sitting

2745
02:25:20,800 --> 02:25:22,560
Speaker 1: there saying, this is gonna be the week that Oregon

2746
02:25:22,560 --> 02:25:24,920
Speaker 1: shows us exactly who they are. And I don't know

2747
02:25:24,959 --> 02:25:27,200
Speaker 1: that we've seen four great quarters of football against a

2748
02:25:27,240 --> 02:25:29,760
Speaker 1: valuable opponent yet this year for Oregon. So you know,

2749
02:25:30,240 --> 02:25:33,360
Speaker 1: the fact is Ohio State also beat up on Michigan State.

2750
02:25:33,440 --> 02:25:35,240
Speaker 1: So if we want transit of property, there it is.

2751
02:25:35,280 --> 02:25:37,840
Speaker 1: And Ohio State went in and used Iowa, which is

2752
02:25:37,879 --> 02:25:39,920
Speaker 1: not the Iowa the last few years, but still good.

2753
02:25:40,240 --> 02:25:42,360
Speaker 1: They used Iowa like they were tackling dummies and it

2754
02:25:42,400 --> 02:25:44,840
Speaker 1: was a running game practice. So you know, I think

2755
02:25:44,879 --> 02:25:47,240
Speaker 1: Ohio State's gonna come in and just they're going to

2756
02:25:47,520 --> 02:25:49,520
Speaker 1: try and force Oregon to stop the run, and then

2757
02:25:49,560 --> 02:25:51,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw to the outside in good matchup. So

2758
02:25:52,360 --> 02:25:54,280
Speaker 1: I wish I had a different outcome here because I

2759
02:25:54,280 --> 02:25:56,240
Speaker 1: picked Oregon to win the Natty in the preseason. But

2760
02:25:56,600 --> 02:25:58,440
Speaker 1: right now, as we sit today, I think Ohio State

2761
02:25:58,480 --> 02:26:00,840
Speaker 1: wins this game, and frankly three points to something I'm

2762
02:26:00,879 --> 02:26:01,680
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable with.

2763
02:26:02,160 --> 02:26:06,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah on one network, two versus three on another,

2764
02:26:07,520 --> 02:26:14,440
Speaker 2: nine versus thirteen, Old Miss Lsu baton rouge ole Miss.

2765
02:26:14,480 --> 02:26:16,640
Speaker 2: I love this Old Miss too. I think the Old Miss.

2766
02:26:16,920 --> 02:26:21,199
Speaker 2: I think the ReBs bounce back. I love them tonight

2767
02:26:22,160 --> 02:26:23,080
Speaker 2: this look.

2768
02:26:23,160 --> 02:26:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody right now can make the playoffs,

2769
02:26:25,800 --> 02:26:28,240
Speaker 1: but I do think teams right now can miss out

2770
02:26:28,240 --> 02:26:31,800
Speaker 1: on the playoffs, And the loser of this game will

2771
02:26:31,840 --> 02:26:35,440
Speaker 1: have so much ahead of them to try and even

2772
02:26:35,520 --> 02:26:38,600
Speaker 1: make noise in the SEC especially given some of the

2773
02:26:38,600 --> 02:26:40,680
Speaker 1: teams that they both have left on the schedule. Like

2774
02:26:41,080 --> 02:26:43,800
Speaker 1: that's the biggest part. This is truly the desperation Bowl

2775
02:26:43,840 --> 02:26:47,160
Speaker 1: of the week, because if you're Old Missed, for example, Okay,

2776
02:26:47,560 --> 02:26:50,879
Speaker 1: you have LSU, then you have Oklahoma You've got Georgia

2777
02:26:50,879 --> 02:26:53,000
Speaker 1: a few weeks after that. All of that, I mean,

2778
02:26:53,240 --> 02:26:56,040
Speaker 1: that's just and then you're you're hoping to God somehow

2779
02:26:56,040 --> 02:26:58,960
Speaker 1: that this is you can make your way through that gauntlet.

2780
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:01,400
Speaker 1: And if you do your ward with then SEC Championship

2781
02:27:01,480 --> 02:27:03,960
Speaker 1: game that is likely going to be against also a

2782
02:27:03,959 --> 02:27:06,680
Speaker 1: brutal opponent, you know. And if you're LSU, you got

2783
02:27:06,680 --> 02:27:08,240
Speaker 1: All Miss right now, then you got Texas A and

2784
02:27:08,360 --> 02:27:09,879
Speaker 1: M in a couple of weeks, who we rode off

2785
02:27:09,879 --> 02:27:12,080
Speaker 1: too early in the season. Then the week after that

2786
02:27:12,120 --> 02:27:15,040
Speaker 1: you have Bama, then you have Oklahoma. Like there's just

2787
02:27:15,160 --> 02:27:17,400
Speaker 1: nothing easy left for either of these two teams. So

2788
02:27:17,480 --> 02:27:20,440
Speaker 1: I think, frankly, the loser of this game stick a

2789
02:27:20,520 --> 02:27:22,200
Speaker 1: fork in them. Their season is going to be done.

2790
02:27:22,320 --> 02:27:25,640
Speaker 1: And all of the pressure, all of the pressure sits

2791
02:27:25,680 --> 02:27:28,680
Speaker 1: squarely on Lane Kiffin and Jackson Dark like you, you

2792
02:27:28,760 --> 02:27:32,520
Speaker 1: cannot lose the way they lost it. It cannot happen

2793
02:27:32,600 --> 02:27:35,039
Speaker 1: with knowing what's ahead of them. To lose the way

2794
02:27:35,080 --> 02:27:38,080
Speaker 1: they lost to Kentucky a few weeks ago has just, man,

2795
02:27:38,120 --> 02:27:40,120
Speaker 1: it has put such a dagger in the heart of

2796
02:27:40,120 --> 02:27:42,560
Speaker 1: what this season is going to be. I think Old

2797
02:27:42,600 --> 02:27:45,120
Speaker 1: Miss needs to come up that desperately need a win here.

2798
02:27:45,800 --> 02:27:48,400
Speaker 1: It's just winning and winning in baton rouge at night.

2799
02:27:48,840 --> 02:27:52,320
Speaker 2: Man, I there's something that I don't trust with this

2800
02:27:52,480 --> 02:27:53,280
Speaker 2: LSU team.

2801
02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:54,080
Speaker 1: Yep.

2802
02:27:54,120 --> 02:28:01,199
Speaker 2: But going down there at night, Saturday night, tall feet,

2803
02:28:01,560 --> 02:28:03,320
Speaker 2: I like them.

2804
02:28:03,600 --> 02:28:05,480
Speaker 3: I like as that think they get it done.

2805
02:28:05,959 --> 02:28:07,880
Speaker 1: It's a three and a half point spread too, that's

2806
02:28:07,959 --> 02:28:11,400
Speaker 1: just golly. That makes me nervous. That being said, LSU

2807
02:28:11,480 --> 02:28:13,240
Speaker 1: hasn't beaten really anybody.

2808
02:28:13,400 --> 02:28:15,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't trust this team. I don't think.

2809
02:28:15,400 --> 02:28:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think I'm gonna go. I'm leaning ole miss.

2810
02:28:17,600 --> 02:28:20,320
Speaker 1: But if I'm honest with everybody listening, I would be

2811
02:28:20,800 --> 02:28:23,000
Speaker 1: scared to put a single dollar on this game because

2812
02:28:23,040 --> 02:28:25,280
Speaker 1: it just feels like I might as well just walk

2813
02:28:25,320 --> 02:28:27,280
Speaker 1: up to a roulette wheel and put all of it

2814
02:28:27,280 --> 02:28:28,360
Speaker 1: on thirty one in Hope.

2815
02:28:28,959 --> 02:28:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, Fox is a good one too.

2816
02:28:31,400 --> 02:28:36,279
Speaker 2: Unbeaten Iowa State rock O becked some of Anthony Becked

2817
02:28:36,920 --> 02:28:41,959
Speaker 2: and goes against his dad's old alma mater, West Virginia.

2818
02:28:42,720 --> 02:28:46,400
Speaker 2: Brad likes West Virginia tonight, by the way, plus three,

2819
02:28:47,120 --> 02:28:47,880
Speaker 2: that's a good game.

2820
02:28:49,280 --> 02:28:51,400
Speaker 1: This is a big game for Iowa State too, because

2821
02:28:51,480 --> 02:28:53,440
Speaker 1: you know what conference we never really talk about the

2822
02:28:53,440 --> 02:28:55,560
Speaker 1: Big twelve. Why do we never really talk about the

2823
02:28:55,560 --> 02:28:59,520
Speaker 1: Big twelve? Because the Big twelve is maddeningly inconsistent. I mean,

2824
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:02,720
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's actually great in the Big

2825
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:05,960
Speaker 1: twelve is just difficult. And then all of a sudden,

2826
02:29:06,240 --> 02:29:08,000
Speaker 1: we say that and you turn around and you're like, well,

2827
02:29:08,080 --> 02:29:11,080
Speaker 1: wait a minute. I mean, Iowa State sitting at five

2828
02:29:11,120 --> 02:29:13,840
Speaker 1: and oh, right, they're sitting at They're sitting at five

2829
02:29:13,879 --> 02:29:16,039
Speaker 1: and o two and oh in the conference, Like not

2830
02:29:16,160 --> 02:29:18,520
Speaker 1: for nothing, Iowa State has a real shot and making

2831
02:29:18,520 --> 02:29:21,080
Speaker 1: the college Football Playoff, Like think about it right now,

2832
02:29:21,320 --> 02:29:25,640
Speaker 1: BYU Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Colorado all have very

2833
02:29:25,680 --> 02:29:29,000
Speaker 1: real shots at the college football Playoff. And that's I guess. Frankly.

2834
02:29:29,040 --> 02:29:31,160
Speaker 1: So there's West Virginia, but I think Iowa State's got

2835
02:29:31,160 --> 02:29:32,680
Speaker 1: a lot on the line. I like him in this game.

2836
02:29:32,680 --> 02:29:35,240
Speaker 3: Actually, are you like Iowa State?

2837
02:29:35,760 --> 02:29:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like Iowa State.

2838
02:29:36,920 --> 02:29:39,080
Speaker 3: Wow, Okay on the road. Yeah.

2839
02:29:39,360 --> 02:29:43,160
Speaker 2: The Brad likes the uh are betting expert. He likes

2840
02:29:43,840 --> 02:29:46,920
Speaker 2: West Virginia, uh the other the other one and l

2841
02:29:47,320 --> 02:29:52,520
Speaker 2: late night K State Colorado battle for to one teams.

2842
02:29:52,520 --> 02:29:54,680
Speaker 2: That's a good gat. That's a good game. Too, some

2843
02:29:54,720 --> 02:29:56,320
Speaker 2: good some good football today.

2844
02:29:57,280 --> 02:29:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good game. It's a late game, and

2845
02:29:59,840 --> 02:30:02,560
Speaker 1: I I mean you mentioned it, but ten to fifteen

2846
02:30:02,680 --> 02:30:05,600
Speaker 1: Eastern start time. I say that would disdain and disgust

2847
02:30:05,600 --> 02:30:07,560
Speaker 1: in my voice. The one thing I am confident on

2848
02:30:07,600 --> 02:30:10,959
Speaker 1: this one is the over both of these offenses can score.

2849
02:30:10,959 --> 02:30:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure either of these defenses can do anything.

2850
02:30:13,840 --> 02:30:15,760
Speaker 1: And you know, as much as we sit here and

2851
02:30:15,800 --> 02:30:20,040
Speaker 1: talk about the circus show that is Colorado, Travis Hunter

2852
02:30:20,280 --> 02:30:23,120
Speaker 1: is worth just he's gonna have a huge game on

2853
02:30:23,200 --> 02:30:25,119
Speaker 1: both sides. He's gonna have a huge game. I really

2854
02:30:25,200 --> 02:30:27,680
Speaker 1: like Travis Hunter in this game. So you know, it's

2855
02:30:27,720 --> 02:30:31,920
Speaker 1: funny because Shador has been much more explosive this year

2856
02:30:31,920 --> 02:30:33,680
Speaker 1: than I think he gets credit for it. I just

2857
02:30:33,720 --> 02:30:36,800
Speaker 1: looked it back up. Fourteen touchdowns, three picks, and yeah,

2858
02:30:37,040 --> 02:30:38,880
Speaker 1: they've asked him to do a lot. I still don't

2859
02:30:38,879 --> 02:30:40,400
Speaker 1: love the fact that he runs around and tries to

2860
02:30:40,440 --> 02:30:43,240
Speaker 1: make so many home run plays. But man, that's the

2861
02:30:43,280 --> 02:30:45,959
Speaker 1: question here is just can Colorado stop the run? Because

2862
02:30:45,959 --> 02:30:47,520
Speaker 1: I think the Case State's just gonna come in and

2863
02:30:47,560 --> 02:30:48,920
Speaker 1: try and run the ball down their throats.

2864
02:30:49,280 --> 02:30:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like you over, I'm with you all right,

2865
02:30:51,879 --> 02:30:54,800
Speaker 2: we'll come back. We'll take a look at the rapid Fire.

2866
02:30:54,840 --> 02:30:56,119
Speaker 2: We'll go rapid Fire.

2867
02:30:56,560 --> 02:30:58,080

Speaker 1: Cherokee, there we go. Somebody that won't make that happen.

2884
02:31:40,480 --> 02:31:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really good. Yeah we could do that. All right,

2885
02:31:43,640 --> 02:31:46,440
Speaker 2: let's go rapid Fire. I want to get this card in.

2886
02:31:47,240 --> 02:31:51,360
Speaker 2: This is tomorrow. We start early London, nine thirty Eastern,

2887
02:31:51,480 --> 02:31:55,800
Speaker 2: six thirty Pacific. We go to London. Jaguars Bears. The

2888
02:31:55,840 --> 02:32:01,280
Speaker 2: Bears a one point favorite over Jacksonville. Jacksonville again is

2889
02:32:01,400 --> 02:32:05,400
Speaker 2: a desperate team. I don't know, call me a sucker,

2890
02:32:05,480 --> 02:32:07,480
Speaker 2: but I think they're gonna make it to in a row.

2891
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm in on the Bears on this one.

2892
02:32:11,720 --> 02:32:14,680
Speaker 1: I just I do not trust the Jags defense, and

2893
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:18,280
Speaker 1: I think that defense thanks right because there's been so

2894
02:32:18,600 --> 02:32:21,640
Speaker 1: many difficulties moving the football. I think we're overlooking how

2895
02:32:21,680 --> 02:32:24,120
Speaker 1: bad their defense is. Caleb's hot right now, so I

2896
02:32:24,200 --> 02:32:27,160
Speaker 1: like Caleb to continue to be hot. This Bears offense,

2897
02:32:27,200 --> 02:32:28,920
Speaker 1: I think is going to continue to click. They're getting

2898
02:32:28,920 --> 02:32:30,520
Speaker 1: better as a team. So I think the Bears win

2899
02:32:30,560 --> 02:32:30,960
Speaker 1: this game.

2900
02:32:32,320 --> 02:32:34,800
Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to.

2901
02:32:36,760 --> 02:32:40,280
Speaker 2: Texans Patriots Houston six and a half.

2902
02:32:41,080 --> 02:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Houston with the points. I think this one's pretty

2903
02:32:43,320 --> 02:32:45,760
Speaker 1: simple and Patriots have been plucky, but the Texans are

2904
02:32:45,800 --> 02:32:47,760
Speaker 1: actually good. So I don't you know, this one isn't

2905
02:32:47,800 --> 02:32:48,440
Speaker 1: rocket science.

2906
02:32:48,760 --> 02:32:52,920
Speaker 2: I know, I don't see anything weird there. Washington Baltimore,

2907
02:32:53,280 --> 02:32:56,640
Speaker 2: this will be the great tests. This is a great game, man.

2908
02:32:57,240 --> 02:33:00,480
Speaker 2: It's the Battle of the Beltway. It's a great game.

2909
02:33:01,160 --> 02:33:04,960
Speaker 2: And this is where Jayden against the tough Baltimore team.

2910
02:33:05,720 --> 02:33:11,119
Speaker 2: Lamar Jaden. That's gonna be fun. That's that's must see TV.

2911
02:33:11,840 --> 02:33:13,320
Speaker 2: Baltimore six and a half.

2912
02:33:14,280 --> 02:33:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that line feels fat for right now,

2913
02:33:16,480 --> 02:33:18,760
Speaker 1: for where the Ravens defense isn't as hot as Jayden

2914
02:33:18,840 --> 02:33:21,560
Speaker 1: is at quarterback. I still think the Ravens win this game.

2915
02:33:21,800 --> 02:33:23,920
Speaker 1: The one thing I'm really confident in is hammer the

2916
02:33:23,959 --> 02:33:26,440
Speaker 1: over fifty one and a half. I think the Ravens

2917
02:33:26,440 --> 02:33:28,879
Speaker 1: are just gonna just absolutely pound the rock down the

2918
02:33:28,879 --> 02:33:31,879
Speaker 1: commander's throats. But the Commanders are explosive, it gets We'll

2919
02:33:31,879 --> 02:33:35,360
Speaker 1: score from anywhere. So I think both offenses win. This

2920
02:33:35,480 --> 02:33:37,480
Speaker 1: feels like much closer though, to me than six and

2921
02:33:37,520 --> 02:33:37,760
Speaker 1: a half.

2922
02:33:38,560 --> 02:33:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I think both.

2923
02:33:40,160 --> 02:33:43,960
Speaker 2: I love you over there Eagles Browns Eagles nine and

2924
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:50,880
Speaker 2: a half. That's a huge number over Deshawned Distincts.

2925
02:33:52,920 --> 02:33:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the number is too big, but I

2926
02:33:55,280 --> 02:33:58,280
Speaker 1: think the Browns are that bad and Browns fans. I

2927
02:33:58,320 --> 02:34:00,480
Speaker 1: said this on YAHOU Sports since I coveraged week, I

2928
02:34:00,480 --> 02:34:02,160
Speaker 1: won't use the word because it would get me kicked

2929
02:34:02,160 --> 02:34:04,959
Speaker 1: off radio. Your team is ft, you did they just are.

2930
02:34:05,080 --> 02:34:07,400
Speaker 1: There's no solution to this. There is no way to

2931
02:34:07,400 --> 02:34:09,000
Speaker 1: get out of it. There is no way to stop

2932
02:34:09,080 --> 02:34:12,040
Speaker 1: the bleeding. Deshaun is going. I would go back.

2933
02:34:12,240 --> 02:34:14,920
Speaker 3: I would go to James, I'll be honest with you.

2934
02:34:14,920 --> 02:34:16,000
Speaker 3: I mean I would have went well.

2935
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:18,640
Speaker 1: I would make the change too, But the insiders I've

2936
02:34:18,640 --> 02:34:20,440
Speaker 1: talked to have made it clear that ownership is not

2937
02:34:20,480 --> 02:34:21,200
Speaker 1: willing to do that.

2938
02:34:21,560 --> 02:34:24,680
Speaker 2: So I know you're right. You know, a cat shape,

2939
02:34:25,560 --> 02:34:28,640
Speaker 2: good coach, and he's saddled with the guy. Listen, the

2940
02:34:28,640 --> 02:34:32,279
Speaker 2: guy can't play anymore. He's watched, he's got a horrible attitude,

2941
02:34:32,920 --> 02:34:35,000
Speaker 2: he's and you can't win with that.

2942
02:34:36,280 --> 02:34:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Unfortunately, there's just no changing it. So you're right.

2943
02:34:39,879 --> 02:34:42,000
Speaker 1: They should go to Jamis. They should just take the

2944
02:34:42,000 --> 02:34:44,720
Speaker 1: financial consequence, whatever it is, spread it out over two years,

2945
02:34:45,000 --> 02:34:46,520
Speaker 1: get rid of de Sean, get him out of there.

2946
02:34:46,560 --> 02:34:49,879
Speaker 1: But they're not going to And I think, honestly, Browns fans,

2947
02:34:49,920 --> 02:34:51,920
Speaker 1: you're you're f for two more years. Sorry.

2948
02:34:53,040 --> 02:34:57,080
Speaker 3: Green Bay five and a half against Arizona.

2949
02:34:58,560 --> 02:35:00,800
Speaker 1: Uh, the number feels a little big me. But also

2950
02:35:01,320 --> 02:35:03,240
Speaker 1: I think Josh Jacobs is gonna get going. I think

2951
02:35:03,320 --> 02:35:06,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Love can can eat against this defense. So I

2952
02:35:07,160 --> 02:35:09,440
Speaker 1: like green Bay, but the number man number feels a

2953
02:35:09,480 --> 02:35:11,720
Speaker 1: little heavy to me. I'm nervous with that number.

2954
02:35:12,440 --> 02:35:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might play would be over Packers team to

2955
02:35:15,760 --> 02:35:21,000
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yeah yeah. Uh Saints Buccaneers Tampa three and

2956
02:35:21,040 --> 02:35:24,920
Speaker 2: a half on the road. Saints of course, Uh no

2957
02:35:25,240 --> 02:35:31,000
Speaker 2: car in this one. So, uh you're gonna you'll you'll

2958
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:33,400
Speaker 2: see the Tyler.

2959
02:35:33,640 --> 02:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Spencer, We're just we're enamored for Spencer Rattler. I'm

2960
02:35:38,480 --> 02:35:41,160
Speaker 1: not so you know, Look, I think this is an

2961
02:35:41,240 --> 02:35:43,520
Speaker 1: unfortunate spot for the Saints to be in, But I mean,

2962
02:35:43,560 --> 02:35:47,480
Speaker 1: I thought the number was staggeringly low. I love Tampa Colts.

2963
02:35:47,520 --> 02:35:51,600
Speaker 2: Titans Tennessee two and a half against the Colts.

2964
02:35:52,600 --> 02:35:54,760
Speaker 3: Uh uh and that Joe Flacco.

2965
02:35:56,120 --> 02:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I cannot believe that I'm picking Will Levis in

2966
02:35:58,360 --> 02:36:00,720
Speaker 1: the game because well, the good is he's going to

2967
02:36:00,760 --> 02:36:03,720
Speaker 1: complete passes. We just don't know to who. Will Levis

2968
02:36:03,800 --> 02:36:06,440
Speaker 1: is just hot garbage at the quarterback position. I can't say,

2969
02:36:06,520 --> 02:36:09,200
Speaker 1: like molten lava of garbage at the quarterback position. But

2970
02:36:09,840 --> 02:36:11,959
Speaker 1: despite that, I still think the Titans have enough to

2971
02:36:11,959 --> 02:36:14,279
Speaker 1: beat this Colts team as they're currently constructed.

2972
02:36:14,360 --> 02:36:20,920
Speaker 3: Right now, let's keep going. Chargers Broncos. Chargers three point

2973
02:36:21,000 --> 02:36:23,720
Speaker 3: favorite on the road in.

2974
02:36:23,600 --> 02:36:29,400
Speaker 1: Denver, Man Denver's offense is awful but it doesn't matter.

2975
02:36:29,400 --> 02:36:32,320
Speaker 1: They keep winning football game. It's their defense. I underestimated,

2976
02:36:32,360 --> 02:36:34,560
Speaker 1: I undervalue their defense. Their defense is really good. This

2977
02:36:34,680 --> 02:36:37,000
Speaker 1: just feels to me like a thirteen to ten game

2978
02:36:37,040 --> 02:36:39,160
Speaker 1: that we're bummed we had to watch when it's all

2979
02:36:39,200 --> 02:36:41,200
Speaker 1: said and done. But I do like the Chargers to

2980
02:36:41,200 --> 02:36:43,680
Speaker 1: win this football game. But cus to the Broncos, who

2981
02:36:43,800 --> 02:36:46,000
Speaker 1: find a way to make everything look ugly every week.

2982
02:36:46,480 --> 02:36:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, right there, it's thirty five and a half. It's

2983
02:36:49,400 --> 02:36:52,199
Speaker 2: a low. It's low, but I still like I'd still

2984
02:36:52,240 --> 02:36:57,800
Speaker 2: go under that thing. Yeahs Denver's defense legit and hardball

2985
02:36:57,879 --> 02:37:02,240
Speaker 2: likes to slow it down. Still, there's Raiders Steelers three

2986
02:37:02,280 --> 02:37:04,039
Speaker 2: point favorites over your boys.

2987
02:37:05,080 --> 02:37:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Steelers are in far better shape too. I mean

2988
02:37:08,280 --> 02:37:11,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders already we weren't very good, and now they've

2989
02:37:11,480 --> 02:37:13,840
Speaker 1: lost some key pieces to injury like everybody in the league,

2990
02:37:13,879 --> 02:37:15,760
Speaker 1: and they're not very deep. So you look at that

2991
02:37:15,800 --> 02:37:18,400
Speaker 1: defensive line without Christian Wilkins is going to be a

2992
02:37:18,440 --> 02:37:20,840
Speaker 1: massive difference in this game. They're just estimated. They've got

2993
02:37:20,879 --> 02:37:23,160
Speaker 1: nobody left other than Max that's playing on the d line,

2994
02:37:23,440 --> 02:37:25,400
Speaker 1: and their offensive line is trash right now. So I

2995
02:37:25,400 --> 02:37:28,280
Speaker 1: think the Steelers are gonna eat I would take sack

2996
02:37:28,360 --> 02:37:30,520
Speaker 1: totals on anybody. I could take sack totals on. I

2997
02:37:30,520 --> 02:37:32,760
Speaker 1: think Aidan O'Connell in the quarterbacks probably gonna eat six

2998
02:37:32,879 --> 02:37:35,360
Speaker 1: or seven sacks in this game. I think Steelers went

2999
02:37:35,400 --> 02:37:35,960
Speaker 1: pretty easily.

3000
02:37:37,040 --> 02:37:40,840
Speaker 2: Lions Cowboys my pick of the week. I love the Lions.

3001
02:37:41,600 --> 02:37:43,680
Speaker 2: I'd like three and a half and I would like

3002
02:37:43,879 --> 02:37:45,720
Speaker 2: ten for a pizza bet.

3003
02:37:46,320 --> 02:37:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right one hundred percent. The Lions are gonna

3004
02:37:49,000 --> 02:37:51,720
Speaker 1: absolutely exploit the backhead of this defense. So I think

3005
02:37:51,760 --> 02:37:53,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football wise, a lot of points for a lot

3006
02:37:53,560 --> 02:37:56,120
Speaker 1: of people, But man, I like the Lions big in

3007
02:37:56,120 --> 02:37:56,560
Speaker 1: this one.

3008
02:37:56,800 --> 02:37:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

3009
02:37:57,200 --> 02:38:00,480
Speaker 2: Bengals Giants Bengals three and a half on the road,

3010
02:38:00,560 --> 02:38:01,640
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football.

3011
02:38:03,760 --> 02:38:05,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants are any good, but neither

3012
02:38:05,400 --> 02:38:07,720
Speaker 1: of the Bengals right now. I might lean Giants on this.

3013
02:38:08,160 --> 02:38:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Giants will actually move the ball hear.

3014
02:38:12,040 --> 02:38:14,800
Speaker 2: I think they're live. I think they're live. And then

3015
02:38:14,879 --> 02:38:18,720
Speaker 2: Monday Night Bills Jets Bills two and a half.

3016
02:38:19,240 --> 02:38:20,760
Speaker 3: I love the Bills Monday Night.

3017
02:38:21,520 --> 02:38:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like everybody's on the Jets, not me.

3018
02:38:23,879 --> 02:38:25,760
Speaker 1: I love the Bills in this one. The jets are

3019
02:38:25,760 --> 02:38:27,000
Speaker 1: done cook.

3020
02:38:26,879 --> 02:38:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that's going to do it for us,

3021
02:38:30,640 --> 02:38:33,480
Speaker 2: all right, everybody, thanks for hanging. We love you guys.

3022
