67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: do a best of last year of all the drops

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: up put together.

69
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,640

Speaker 7: slam in the first Parker is laying it right, man.

81
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: But what people were singing was they called him secret

82
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: Asian man. So people will request the song you know

83
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: to DJ's can you play Secret?

84
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:29,839

Speaker 5: I will say it's pretty close.

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 7: I will say he does not quite enunciate the ah

90
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 7: a git, so people would think with the lyrics.

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: That's why I brought up the Jimmy Hendricks lyrics because

92
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: people will get it wrong and they will be singing

93
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: it forever. Secret Asian Man. All right, it is the

Speaker 2: This is the brain trust right here, Martin Monts.

00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 5: I went to you this weekend.

117
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: Let's get it.

118
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 5: Actually, the crew right now can't rob out of here.

00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,040

121
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: So I'm what.

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say anything. I'm just asking. I'm good.

123
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, Martin. You're a huge college

124
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: football fan. Okay, you went to Michigan the whole nine yards.

125
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: I said this from Jump Street and I'm gonna stick

126
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: by it. I didn't like when they expanded the college

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: football playoffs because I didn't think there were enough teams

128
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: that really could vie for the national championship. We had

129
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: seen prior to that, blowout after blowout, all double digit losses,

130
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: all that saying are there really at that? This was

131
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: when they had four teams, like is there really enough?

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: We didn't see like the quality type of games I'd

133
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: like to see.

134
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: And here we are today New Year's Dame and We're.

135
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: Watching games, college football games that are terrible, just terrible.

136
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: It was. It was terrible in game one, what was that?

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: Twenty three nothing? The first game today Oregon be Test Tech,

138
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: twenty three.

139
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Nothing, and today the score was twenty four to nothing.

140
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: The final was thirty eight to three.

141
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: Games. Actually, still it's still going on. I thought it

142
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: was over, I mean left, Okay, it's currently thirty eight

143
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: to three.

144
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 7: Okay, it's been over since about you know, thirty eight

145
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 7: to three seven.

146
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm not sitting here.

147
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to act like I'm sitting here and

148
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to rearrange the sports world and make a change.

149
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: And everybody's going to say Rob is a genius and

150
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: all that, but I'm convinced more than ever that this

151
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: has been a mistake and for them to even expand

152
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: this field even further is going to be even more

153
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: of a mistake than just going back to trying to

154
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: get the best four schools. Alabama lost three games, Okay,

155
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: you want to put them in the college football playoffs.

156
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: They get their butts kicked by Deiana. And when I

157
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: was doing local radio in Detroit, when Michigan lost its

158
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: second game of the year, Martin, college football talk stopped

159
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: national championship, you know, conversation stopped because that was it.

160
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: Now it would turn to beating Ohio State at the

161
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: end of the year, right after you lose your second salvage,

162
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: right after you lose your second game. And now teams

163
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: with multiple losses too, three losses are making it in

164
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: because you need to fill these spots.

165
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm against it.

166
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: I think it's terrible for college football and Ian real quick.

167
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: And then Martin, you jump in reach some of the

168
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: scores from last year because we just we're getting started

169
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: here a bad day twenty eight twenty.

170
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: Three to nothing and a thirty eight to three game.

171
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: Those are the two games we got. The losing teams

172
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: have three points.

173
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 6: Right, So if we go back to last year. In

174
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 6: last year's playoffs Clemson versus Texas, Texas won thirty eight

175
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 6: to twenty four, so to score win there. Ohio State

176
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 6: beat Tennessee forty two to seventeen, so complete blowout in

177
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 6: that one. Penn State beat SMU thirty eight to ten,

178
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 6: another blowout. Notre Dame beat Indiana twenty seven to seventeen,

179
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 6: so double digit win there. And then in the second round,

180
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 6: Notre Dame beat Georgia twenty three to ten, Penn State

181
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 6: beat Boise State thirty one to fourteen, Ohio State beat

182
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 6: Oregon forty one to twenty one.

183
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: I'm just Martin. I'm looking at the games.

184
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: All of them were double digits, all of them like,

185
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: is that what we want to see for your to

186
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: determine who's going to be the national championship. I'm out

187
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: on this format. Too many teams, not enough quality football.

188
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I think college football loses well.

189
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 7: If you're out on this format, then you're out on

190
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 7: every playoff format that has ever existed. It doesn't take

191
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 7: much longer. Go back to one year ago. You read

192
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 7: all those double digit scores in the the same year

193
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 7: the Texans beat the Chargers by two scores first round,

194
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 7: Raven Steelers, Bills over the Broncos, right Rams over the Vikings,

195
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 7: and the Eagles beat the Packers. All of those games

196
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 7: on Super Wildcard Weekend, all six five of them were

197
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 7: double digit victory.

198
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: You gave me wild Card Weekend, right, Okay, so hold

199
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: on give me.

200
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 7: I'll give it to you because that's what this is

201
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 7: supposed that's what the first round of the playoffs is.

202
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: I get that they have teams that have buyed into this.

203
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 7: But your point of can we get there's not enough

204
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 7: teams to compete for a national championship, so on and

205
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 7: so forth. There's not enough teams to compete for a

206
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 7: Super Bowl or an NBA finals run. Every single year

207
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 7: we fill out the playoffs. Why do we do it?

208
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 7: Because this is the only way to ensure the best

209
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 7: four teams have the opportunity to do it.

210
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: No, it's not because okay, go ahead, well how would

211
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: you figure it out?

212
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, there aren't that many teams, and all

213
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: you do is you continue to water down. The NBA

214
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: is wrong, The National Hockey League is wrong, The NFL

215
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: is wrong when you put teams in that aren't even

216
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: barely five hundred, so you have water down the pool.

217
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get to this.

218
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 7: So that's playoffs in general then, because that's ball.

219
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Wasn't there to where we don't have like like now,

220
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: we're getting to the point where just to me, with

221
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: smaller amounts, with more teams getting involved, how do you

222
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: win today? If you're a college football fan, I'm just

223
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: asking you. You watch two games on on on New

224
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: Year's Day, and neither one was competitive. I'm just saying

225
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: this is the norm for me. There have been plenty

226
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: of exciting, unbelievable NFL playoff games. You could give me

227
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: this the little uh first round, which is the clue

228
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: of what we're doing here, But this is.

229
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: The this is the last two years of the college football.

230
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: I could give you plenty of great NFL games, and

231
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: not all of them. Now I'm telling you, I agree

232
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: with you that there are too many teams because you're

233
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: you have a couple of scenarios where Tampa Bay has

234
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: lost seven of its last eight and can make the playoffs.

235
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Something's wrong with a system where a team can lose

236
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: that many games and yet win the division and make

237
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They shouldn't be in the playoffs, but they

238
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: could wind up if they went on Sunday. All I'm

239
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: saying is, as a college football fan, how does this

240
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: feel good? And are you cool with it that they're

241
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: gonna not only have twelve but expand this to even more.

242
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: The college basketball is the same thing. Sixty four. Let's

243
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: go to sixty eight. Let's go to all these schools,

244
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: and yes, you'll have an occasional upset in the first

245
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: round or occasional upset, but.

246
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: It's not most of the game. Most college football find.

247
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 7: Absolutely should be a fan of this individually for your team. Sure,

248
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 7: the viewing experience of the first round mimics the first

249
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 7: round of every other playoffs that we have in every

250
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 7: other sport, where the team go figure that has the

251
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 7: higher seed normally be the living hell out of the

252
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 7: team that's the lower seed, because that's how the regular

253
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 7: season drafted it out to be. That's why the regular

254
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 7: season exists for playoff seeding, so that it's.

255
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: Most of you. Did you en George out? Did you

256
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: enjoy it? As a college football fan?

257
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 7: What I would want to have happened, not without any

258
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 7: question of a doubt, is my team that I feel

259
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 7: as a as a legitimate opportunity to win a national championship,

260
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 7: have an opportunity to do so, which was ripped from

261
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 7: all college football fans up until a eight twelve team

262
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 7: playoff question.

263
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you you enjoyed this. I'm not telling

264
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: the as a college football I am an Indiana. I'm

265
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: not Indiana Indiana. Are you interested in here? But not

266
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: as not as an Indiana fan or not as.

267
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 7: As a fan of any team that has an opportunity

268
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 7: to win a national champion would as I absolutely am

269
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 7: a fan of that's not I just want you to

270
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 7: answer my question as a college football fan. Yes, I

271
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 7: like the playoffs. Okay, so yeah, I've said it a

272
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 7: million different ways. No, I'll tell you why I like

273
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 7: it this way. If I'm an Indiana fan, I could

274
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 7: go twelve and zho for four years in a row.

275
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 7: They'll never put me in the BCS Championship Bowl. And like,

276
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 7: if you lose the Big Ten Championship Game, Indiana would

277
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 7: be banished the same way that BYU was in years past.

278
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 7: They would have never have been in this position if

279
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 7: there were no playoffs A.

280
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven

281
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: seven nine to nine six sixty three sixty nine. Are

282
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: you like Martin Weiss? You loved New Year's Day college football?

283
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: How do we figure it out otherwise college football? I'm

284
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: just telling you what they have now doesn't work. So

285
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: what you I mean you want to go back to

286
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: I want to go back to four. I want to

287
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: go back to four team. The best four teams play.

288
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: That's all I want. And if that's a blowout, then

289
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: we'll have to live with it, but I don't want

290
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: twelve teams and double digits and teams can't score. At

291
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: one point today it was forty seven to nothing in

292
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: the score of the two winning teams and the other

293
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: the two losing teams. That's the football we want to

294
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: watch eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. If you

395
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: So don't hang up, don't do anything. They have the

396
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: they were in the top ten and money spent on

397
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: the team right for players two million dollar quarterback, they're

398
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: coaching staff and coach make twenty million dollars.

399
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: What on notice?

400
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 3: For what?

401
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of money there in the top ten.

402
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: Why shouldn't they have a good football team Indiana, I

403
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: don't even understand it. What Why shouldn't they have a

404
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: good football team?

405
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 15: Oh no, I'm calling out all the other coaches. I'm

406
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 15: welling there's time to stop underperforming and collecting huge checks

407
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 15: for doing nothing is over. That's why I'm gonna hate

408
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 15: Signetti because they get a free ride.

409
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 9: I don't.

410
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: I don't hate them. I'm just saying I don't.

411
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: I don't look at this as a little lingen who

412
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: could And this is not Indiana, the old Indiana.

413
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: This is a different India.

414
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 7: To notice that Signetty is putting on the rest of

415
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 7: the nation is to the point of this is not

416
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 7: the little Indiana that that couldn't, to your point, the

417
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 7: little train that couldn't. Now they can and now if

418
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 7: Indiana can do it, anybody can do it.

419
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: Is the point that I think the point.

420
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: That Okay, so you think just just because you spend

421
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: a lot of money, anybody can win. Yeah, it doesn't

422
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: work like that. Yeah.

423
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: Some of the highest payrolls in sports teams show they

424
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: don't win.

425
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 7: And that's why the Pirates are competing for the division

426
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 7: every But that's why you're not spending.

427
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: You're not one. Okay, but come on. The Mets also

428
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: had the highest payroll last year spending guarantees one.

429
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 7: I'm saying, okay, show me the team that showed me,

430
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 7: the team that's saving money that's also winning.

431
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: The Arizona Diamondbacks went to the World Series. Go check

432
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: out where they were in payroll last two years.

433
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: So they've been in the World Series. What twice is

434
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: Randy Johnson? But they made the World Series.

435
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: The Texas Rangers are mid majors, a mid market team

436
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: as well.

437
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 7: They made it to the World I'm just saying it's

438
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 7: not automatic. The Rangers not automatic players to move.

439
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: But they made the World Series.

440
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 7: But to the point, if you're not the last time

441
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 7: the Mets made the World Series, the Mets are just

442
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 7: recently have droven into this big spending opportunity.

443
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: I would say Yankees haven't won since since two thousand

444
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: and nine. They have the top three in payroll every year.

445
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Haven't won anything since two thousand and nine? Are they

446
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: not there competitively? That's not about competitive. I'm just saying

447
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: about winning. I'm not talking about being competitive winning.

448
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 7: You can't win the Pennant sitting outside of the postseason

449
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 7: where the Yankees.

450
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: All right, go ahead, Vincent.

451
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: In California, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.

452
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: What's up, Vincent.

453
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: Hap, Happy New Year man. We appreciate you.

454
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 14: I object to the return to fourteen format because I

455
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 14: sure we end up what we had like a a

456
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 14: decade ago, when you know the team's predominant to Alabama, Clemson, Georgia,

457
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 14: and you know sometimes Ohio State and college football team

458
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 14: very very regionalized and.

459
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: Helped the cut interest.

460
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you just want to let everybody in.

461
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: Why don't we just have one hundred teams in?

462
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 12: Are they.

463
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: All right? Phil? In Denver, you're on the couple of

464
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Phil?

465
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 15: Rob I'm kind of on your side, But the bottom

466
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 15: line is college football is trash.

467
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 13: It is.

468
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 2: I'm with you. Go ahead, Phil, That's it.

469
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 9: That's all I got no, I'm with you.

470
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 7: So just Peel is saying it's an immadalable product regardless.

471
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 7: But I think that you just can't engineer a result

472
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 7: like how many Super Bowls have we seen that have

473
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 7: been blowouts? Even in the fourteen playoffs. I remember that

474
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 7: Michigan TCU game that was down to the wire. Then

475
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 7: TCU walked in and lost sixty five.

476
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: To seven to Georgia. Like, you just can't engineer the results.

477
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: You can only you have to play on the field,

478
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: in my opinion, to be able to determine how all this.

479
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: I just think there's also a fill the idea of

480
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: letting in schools like Alabama that lost three games like that.

481
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 7: That is, the committee was wrong to let Alabama and

482
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 7: maybe should have been Notre Dame. But ultimately the process

483
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 7: is not the one that Thanksville.

484
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.

485
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's get an update with Monzi and then

486
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: we'll take more of your calls.

487
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

488
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: Hold on eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Manzi,

489
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: happy New Year, You're happy new Year.

490
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: How are we doing? How are you doing?

491
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 12: Oh?

492
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 5: You know, I'm doing just dandy.

493
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 16: I'm doing almost as good as Indiana and their fans

494
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 16: almost as good because of their performance at the Rose

495
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 16: Bowl over Alabama. You know, Rob, you're not gonna get

496
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 16: those four game the four game playoff that you.

497
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: Want is never gonna come back. I said that at

498
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: the top. I'm not kidding myself.

499
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 16: Yeah you're not, because you know it's gonna be like nineteen.

500
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's gonna be. It's gonna go up.

501
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: It's gonna go up to thirty two, and I'll be

502
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: out of the business long before.

503
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: I don't to worry about it.

504
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 16: It's like we're going in the wrong direction, not in

505
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 16: the right direction.

506
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 4: Uh.

507
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 16: But Indiana crushed Alabama at the Rolls Ball thirty eight

508
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 16: to three. Fernando Mendoza finished fourteen of sixteen for one

509
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 16: hundred and ninety two yards three touchdowns, while running back

510
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 16: Kaitlyn Black had fifteen carries for ninety nine yards and

511
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 16: a touchdown. Alabama's offense really struggled. They only had twenty

512
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 16: three rushing yards total compared to two hundred and fifteen

513
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 16: for the Hoosiers. Quarterback Ty Simpson, by the way for Alabama,

514
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 16: he exited early in the second half because of an

515
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 16: apparent injury that he suffered earlier after being tackled. He

516
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 16: was replaced by back of Austin Mack.

517
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: The Hoosiers are.

518
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 16: Gonna face Oregon in the Peach Bowl on Friday, January ninth.

519
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 16: The Aura Bowl or earlier today, is where Oregon shut

520
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 16: out Texas Tech twenty three zero. The Ducks had two interceptions,

521
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 16: seven tackles for loss, four sacks shutting down the Raider

522
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 16: the Red Raider offense, and Ducks running back Jordan Davison

523
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 16: had fifteen carries forty two yards and two touchdowns. Obviously

524
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 16: still to come. It's Ole Miss in Georgia in the

525
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 16: Sugar Bowl, and that's going to kick off in about

526
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 16: thirty minutes. In NFL news, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is

527
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 16: expected to start Sunday Night football against the Steelers.

528
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: Saints wide receiver Chris l Lave is going.

529
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 16: To miss the final game of the season against the

530
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 16: Falcons due to a blood clot that was found in

531
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 16: one of his lungs, but he has no history of

532
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 16: blood clots. He's expected to recover within the next month.

533
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 16: Packers quarterback Jordan Love has cleared concussion protocol, but he

534
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 16: is going to sit out until the playoffs. Right now

535
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 16: in the NBA, Kevin durantce got twelve points. The Rockets

536
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 16: are extending their lead over the Nets seventy four to

537
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 16: forty nine halfway through the third quarter. Late in the

538
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 16: first quarter of the Pistons leading the Heat at home

539
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 16: twenty to nineteen.

540
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, thanks, man Zzi, appreciate it.

541
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: It is the odd couple here on Fox Sports Radio,

542
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: Rob Parker Martin Weiss in for Kelvin Washington on this

543
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: New Year's Day. I hope you had a great New

544
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, and I hope you're doing great on your

545
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: day off. Here on New Year's Day. Unbelievable twenty twenty

546
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: six is here. We're talking about the college football playoff.

547
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: If you enjoyed the games or you're cool with the

548
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: format now twelve team gonna expand eventually to even more

549
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: eighteen and you're cool with it cool? I would love

550
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: for it to go backwards. I know it's not gonna happen,

551
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: but just uh, are you enjoying the football? The blowouts

552
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: bother you or not, or it just doesn't care, You

553
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: don't care. Basically, just as long as the system's in place,

554
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: they let as many schools get in, you're cool with

555
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: it regardless of the score.

556
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: So if that's the pending of my argument, that's not

557
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: the case.

558
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 7: I like the twelve team playoff because there's no argument

559
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 7: to my opinion, Like Notre Dame has no real place

560
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 7: to say we shouldn't have got in. Like you, if

561
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 7: you only lose one game in the college football season,

562
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 7: you will make the playoffs and have an opportunity to

563
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 7: compete for a national championship. And until there was a

564
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 7: twelve team playoff, that was not a guarantee, like you

565
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 7: can go undefeated and be Florida State and be completely

566
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 7: left out of the conversation, which to me is I'd

567
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 7: rather if both of those are completely wrong. But if

568
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 7: I have to pick one, I picked the one. We're

569
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 7: currently in, all right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on

570
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 7: Fox we got let's go to uh Roberto in California.

571
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 7: You're on the couple on Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Roberto?

572
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: Happy New Year?

573
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 17: Hey, Happy New Year.

574
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: Hey you guys doing doing great?

575
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 14: You I'm good.

576
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 9: I'm with Rob.

577
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 17: I was really into it when they first announced the

578
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 17: talks teams, you know, but after seeing these games, they're terrible,

579
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 17: and we don't need them. I think we should go

580
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 17: back to six with two with the bye week. I'm

581
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 17: over here in San Diego. If the Astins went under seated,

582
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 17: they don't deserve to get in.

583
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 15: They get killed and be horrible, right that, Well go

584
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 15: back to six.

585
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but right there, that's your the point as text,

586
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: even if they were twelve and oh they get in

587
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: and get destroyed.

588
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, that's not fun. Who wants to watch that? Well, no,

589
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: no one is because there is no ass tech in here.

590
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 7: Like maybe last year if you want to talk about

591
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 7: the Boise State being the up and coming, but like, yeah,

592
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 7: they had the Heisman Trophy candidate.

593
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: There is no ASTech here. I may maybe I'm just missing.

594
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: I don't see.

595
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 7: Like, if you win your division, you win your conference,

596
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 7: you should be awarded with an opportunity to go to

597
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 7: the postseason. It's going to Rocky in South Carolina. You're

598
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 7: on the a couple of Fox Sports Radio.

599
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: What's up, Rocky?

600
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 9: Happy New Year, Happy new.

601
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 11: Year to all of you.

602
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: Rob.

603
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 9: I've got a question for you, sure, and if you

604
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 9: can allow me to follow.

605
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: Up you absolutely we will not hang you up on

606
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: your Rocky. We'll hold on Okay, go ahead, got you.

607
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 11: So if you want to go to four teams, what

608
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 11: is your formula system for determine and who's the top

609
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 11: four teams?

610
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: I think you should have to do some sort of

611
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: strength to schedule and then you pick the best four

612
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: teams based off the strength of schedule who they beat

613
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: to get them to be ranked, and that there has

614
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: to be some sort of consistent formula that you use,

615
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, like uh points, you know, point differential strength

616
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: to schedule, like a couple things, because obviously you don't

617
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: play all the same schools, so you have to come

618
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: up with a formula to determine who's going to be

619
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: those four.

620
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 9: All right, well, I want to respectfully disagree with you,

621
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 9: and I like the playoffs yet suck. We got two

622
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 9: blowout blowouts today and and even but I enjoy watching it.

623
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 9: I think if college football is for the fans, uh.

624
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 11: And even if your own team's not in, if you

625
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 11: enjoy it, yeah, it.

626
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 13: Kind of stink.

627
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 9: Did you get a blowout? And the type of and

628
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 9: whether it's twelve or my thought is and then I'll

629
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 9: hang up. I'd like to see the sixteen teams and

630
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 9: the certain noe bies and the top eight seeds. I'll

631
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 9: play at home for the first round and then you know,

632
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 9: so you got you got eight home games, big.

633
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 11: Atmospheres like you know, like like it was in the

634
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 11: food swimom And I mean it's just.

635
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 9: Good for the college football fans. Maybe your team's not in,

636
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 9: but you may.

637
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 11: Be a fan of a conference or something like that,

638
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 11: and and that kind of thing.

639
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I mean I love watching the games

640
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 9: today and it and it kept me. But yeah, it

641
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 9: kind of stump.

642
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Rothy, we appreciate it. Yeah, no problem,

643
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: thank you. I eight seven seven ninety nine on Fix.

644
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: If you wanted to.

645
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 7: Reform the playoff, the answer to me would be this,

646
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 7: you had the perfect setup with the Power five. But

647
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 7: now that that is now dead and you really are

648
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 7: now just dealing with the three of our four rather

649
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 7: of the SEC, the Big ten, ACC and the Big twelve.

650
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 7: What you should do at this point they should have

651
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 7: the split the Big the Big ten and split the

652
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 7: SEC up into a East and a West like it

653
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 7: already is. If you win the SEC East, you win

654
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 7: the Big ten. East, you have an automatic qualifier. You

655
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 7: win the same thing in the West automatic qualify, You

656
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 7: win the acc automatic qualify, you win the Big twelve

657
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 7: automatic qualifier, that's five teams three at large to make

658
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 7: it eight, right, So then you could add in a

659
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 7: Notre Dame or your conference championship runner up, or are

660
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 7: Miami who doesn't make the conference championship game but feel

661
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 7: like that's your best conference, Like, that's the way to

662
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 7: rectify this whole situation.

663
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: But I can't.

664
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: Winning in the regular season has to matter, which is

665
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 7: one of the reasons why I'm excited to see Miami

666
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 7: go on this run, because without them going on this run,

667
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 7: you'd sit there and be like, well, maybe if they're

668
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 7: in the schedule, this team or that team, No, go ahead,

669
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 7: beat the teams you play, make that matter head to

670
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 7: head and have that play out.

671
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: And we see it now playing out in the post.

672
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: Let's try to squeeze in one or two more. Here,

673
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: We've got Lee is Lee there. Let's go to Lee

674
00:31:54,320 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: in South Carolina. You're on the I couple. Ye New Year,

675
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, Lee?

676
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: How are you twelve of them?

677
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 13: All?

678
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 10: Right?

679
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: Because I've been enjoying this football, y'all. Y'all been playing.

680
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 4: I always want to. There's still some good football, you know,

681
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 4: and some of the guys. You never would get to

682
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: see him play until to the bowl game. At your quarterback, Mandamn,

683
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 4: I never watched him and he can play.

684
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fernando's good man.

685
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: Yeah he can play. And see that Neka difference because

686
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 4: you've got a quarterback that can play like he plays.

687
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: That upgrade the whole team. So in down to the

688
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 4: Big Way where they at, they got a good team.

689
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't know.

690
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm not disputing Indiana or anything where they belong. But Lee,

691
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: thank you, Happy New year, real quick? All right, thank you?

692
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: Is this jivvy.

693
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: Jivvy?

694
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: And Minnesota will take this last one? You're the last

695
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: one up on this jivvy?

696
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: What do you? What do you got to say? It's

697
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: the couple of Fox Sports Radio.

698
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 15: So I don't like to take that the only should

699
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 15: be the top four teams.

700
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 12: The number one seed last year lost to the eight seeds.

701
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 12: We would not have had Ohio State as the national

702
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 12: championship last year if we only had the Big four.

703
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 12: And Ohio State was most definitely the best team in

704
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 12: college football last year, we can all agree. So I

705
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 12: would like to dispute the claim that it should only.

706
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: Be the top four teams Okay, that's fair. That's what

707
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: I think. I think less is more, But that's me.

708
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: I'd just rather if I could do the playoffs, I

709
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: would make them. Thanks for calling the regular season matter.

710
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: Only the teams that win their division stop with all

711
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: the wild cards.

712
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: And I do it.

713
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: They do it in all sports. They don't do it

714
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: for any other reason other than to make more money

715
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: and expand the playoff would make if you're to make

716
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: more money, If you want to say that, if you

717
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: wanted to go and eliminate and only conference.

718
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: Champions could get in, that's y. That's what I but that.

719
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: That's where we are. And I'm just saying that. I'm

720
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: saying in all sports. I had a problem when baseball

721
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: did it. I had a problem with the NBA. Sixteen

722
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: of the thirty teams make the playoffs in the NBA,

723
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: So you're playing to eliminate a handful of teams.

724
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: Teams that have.

725
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: Bad records make the playoffs. Like, what is the purpose

726
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: of the regular season if everybody makes the playoffs?

727
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: All right?

728
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: It is the odd couple On your New Year's Night,

788
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: two and a half. And remember, Martin, I'm not telling

789
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: you who the bet on a hall. I'm telling you who.

790
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 7: I double like the Jazz not playing five players at

791
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 7: a time today. For the Clippers to be fourteen point favorites.

792
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: No, fourteen and a half, don't forget the half that's big.

793
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: Let's go here.

794
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: You're not surprised that Lamar Jackson's gonna play against the Steelers.

795
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: Are you? I mean, football players what they do, plain

796
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 2: and simple like people. So Shannon Sharp.

797
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: On his podcast The Nightcap said that he would go

798
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: with Scoop Huntley instead of Lamar because Lamar hasn't been

799
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: the same since his injury, has scuffled and struggled, and

800
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: Huntley played well even though it was Derek Henry was

801
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: to start a game, obviously, but still in this game,

802
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: could you because I can't see any scenario other than

803
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: Lamar's really hurt, you know, with a bad back, a

804
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: back injury, and then of course I'm saying, don't play him.

805
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: If he's hurt, he should not play.

806
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: Just like when Kevin Durant played in the NBA Finals,

807
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: everybody in their uncle.

808
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: Was like, he doesn't belong out there, and of course

809
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: he got serious.

810
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 7: There's only one instance that I can remember that I've

811
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 7: been paying that close attention to covering this league in

812
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 7: which the starting quarterback name like the starting quarterback without

813
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 7: a doubt right.

814
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: Seemingly was healthy enough to play and didn't.

815
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 7: Jared Goff Week seventeen against the Seattle Seahawks when he

816
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 7: was a Los Angeles Ram, he had a broken thumb

817
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 7: and it was a backup. I remember at the time,

818
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 7: I asked hibout who was on the staff? I said,

819
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 7: what's the deal here? They said the guy's name was

820
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 7: John Wolford, who was the quarterback.

821
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: I remember that.

822
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 7: I think John Wolford gives us a better chance to

823
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 7: move the ball. I remember that, right, And at that

824
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 7: point I was like, oh, it's over for Jared Golf

825
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 7: in Los Angeles if Lamar Jackson is healthy one point,

826
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 7: if I remember was awful, yeah, I mean he actually got.

827
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 2: Hurt in the first quarter and Golf came in and

828
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: finished the game and got the win.

829
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 7: Okay, well I remember him not playing well. He ended

830
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 7: up getting hurt in the first quarter of that game.

831
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 7: But if Lamar Jackson is healthy enough to play and

832
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 7: does it, it is the end of Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.

833
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: Right, That's quite and simple. I agree, because it just

834
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. And he practiced on Wednesday, So to me,

835
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: he's ready to go, you know what I mean. If

836
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: he hadn't practiced all week, Martin Din, It's like, Okay,

837
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: he's not he can't play. He has the last few weeks.

838
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 7: He's missed the day of practice every single week leading

839
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 7: up to it, and so like, no, I'm not surprised

840
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 7: to see him play. But I just think ultimately, if

841
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 7: they were gonna make that move, you might as well

842
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 7: just put him on the trade block now.

843
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 2: No doubt.

844
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: All Right, our number two coming up here on the

845
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: odd couple, and you don't want to miss it. We're

846
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna do a little turn off your Micah Parsons, stick

847
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: and stay unless your Micah
