Will head to 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: Vegas after the show Thursday and Friday at the Fountain 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Blue Hotel. If you want to stop by, we could 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: have a studio audience there. We're going to be inside 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: as opposed to the Super Bowl. A couple of years ago, 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: they traded us. Well, wonderful place, the newest hotel on 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: the Strip. Paul Skeens, the Pirate Psy Young Award winner, 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: will stop by. There was a little bit of a 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: story last week or a couple of days ago where 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: the report was Paul Skeens confided in a pirate player, 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: unidentified pirate player, who said that he hopes to be 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: traded to the Yankees by next year's trade deadline. So 14 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about that. I know that he 15 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: and his girlfriend bought an apartment in New York, and 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can connect the dods there. 17 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Maybe she wants to be there, give her more access 18 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: with her as well. So Paul's schemes will join us 19 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: coming up here in about twenty minutes. Reggie Miller will 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: join us next hour. You got the Cowboys over the 21 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: Raiders thirty three sixteen. So Dallas is four five and one. 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: Las Vegas is two to eight. You know, Vegas. I 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: look at that offense and it's terrible. They're averaging fifteen 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: points a game. They're thirty first in the NFL, only 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: the Titans. How many touchdowns have the Titans scored this year? 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: Have the Titans scored like ten touchdowns? Or is it 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: maybe twelve touchdowns? But the Raiders averaging fifteen and a 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: half points per game this season. And I did think 29 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: with Ashton Genty, Rock Bowers, Gino Smith, they were going 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: to be able to score some points. Max Crosby, you know, 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: one of my favorite players in the NFL was going 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: to wreak havoc. 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: You got Pete Carroll. 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: And maybe there was going to be something there by 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: the way that felt like a home game for Dallas 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys last night, easy travel. Hey, let's go to Vegas 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: for a couple of days and watch our team win 38 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: a game. And Dallas is in this and I'm not 39 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: saying that, you know for clicks like they have a 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: chance to be in this. But you got the Eagles 41 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: coming out, you got a couple of tough games back 42 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: to back to back but at the end of the season, 43 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: I got the Giants and the Commanders. Maybe you could 44 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: get you know, maybe eight nine wins. Maybe NFC is 45 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: tougher though than the AFC. There's a lot of quality 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: teams there, Yes, PAULI. 47 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: Your Titans, by the way, have six passing touchdowns and 48 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: four rushing touchdowns on a season, lowest in the NFL. 49 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: They have ten touchdowns. Yeah. 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 3: Balanced offense though, Yeah, I gotta. 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 4: Like the balance. 52 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: I'd be curious the fewest touchdowns this far into an 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: NFL season, because ten ten is sparse. 54 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: Yes, Dylan, I. 55 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 5: Feel like there had to be some of those Brown 56 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 5: teams earlier this century that may have had less than that. 57 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: All right, well we'll look at that. 58 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: By the way, the calendars are available autographed non autographed, 59 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: and go to Danpatrick dot com. Great for the holidays, 60 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: and also check out the Tailgate store as well. You 61 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: can get an autograph calendar with select Tailgate purchases while 62 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: supplies last. All right, Oh, did you find out the information? 63 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: Paul got it kind of quickly. 64 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: The lowest scoring teams of the past twenty five years, 65 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: the two thousand Browns scored only one hundred and sixty 66 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: one points. On the season, they had nine passing touchdowns 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: and seven rushing touchdowns. The only thing worse than that 68 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: as far as scoring touchdowns, the Raiders of six scored 69 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight points, but it was seven 70 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 3: passing touchdowns and only five rushing touchdowns. That's the worst 71 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 3: I could find in the past quarter sec. 72 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: So the Titans are on pace here. 73 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: Oh, they got a record to break. 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, they they gotta check. You're saying you got a chance. 75 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: They got to slow things down on offense. They break 76 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: that record. They got to things down. 77 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 6: Oh. 78 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: I think they're doing a pretty good job on their own. 79 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: All right, we say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, 80 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: our streaming partner, or you're watching on NBC Sports Network, 81 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: are you listening on our radio affiliates around the country 82 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: have another poll question coming up. 83 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: James Franklin to Virginia Tech. 84 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin's family is taking a private tour of Florida 85 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: and LSU. Once again, Lane is not, but his family is. 86 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: And to me, the first time I heard this was 87 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: is somebody leaking this for negotiations? Because you want leverage 88 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: and Lane has leverage. You got the best year old, 89 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: missus ever had, they're going to be in the playoffs 90 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden LSU and Florida open up. 91 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: I know it'll never happen, and in this case it 92 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, But one time, I'd love for an 93 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: athletic director to say, are you looking at other jobs? 94 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: Are you looking at other jobs?

But I wish 100 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: one time somebody would just say, you know what, we 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: hired you, we pay you, Okay, we're in this together. 102 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, you got a better deal. 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: Okay, why don't you go?

For an hour or two? 135 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 5: Well, we got results from the previous EDDA after a 136 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 5: brief Twitter shutdown, it's back up. If you're laying Kiffin, 137 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 5: are you staying at Ole, miss, going to Florida, going 138 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 5: to LSU or other Sixty percent they stay at Ole. 139 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Miss, I hope he does, but you know, if it's 140 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: not now, then it could be some other time that 141 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: he decides to go, and. 142 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: He has built up the resume to be able to 143 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: do that. Yeah, pull. 144 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: It feels like Lane Kiffin has hit his stride as 145 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: a coach. He's no longer jumping all over the place. 146 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: He's no longer too young for the stage. And you're 147 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: getting him at his prime, at his peak, or whatever 148 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: you want. 149 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 4: To call it. 150 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: And if you look at what they did at Alabama 151 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 3: when they had Nick Saban in two thousand and seven, 152 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: all he did was win for the next two decades, 153 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: and every dollar they spent on Nick Saban they got 154 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: back three. 155 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 4: It was the best deal in sports. 156 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: The length the Nick Saban contracts at Alabama was the 157 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: best investment in sports the past twenty years. And I 158 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: think Old Miss has to look at it saying, do 159 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: we want to be seven and six again or do 160 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: we want to be eleven and two regularly? And Lane 161 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 3: Kiffin can keep us relevant and making much more money 162 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: by being eleven and two. 163 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: Okay, But if you give him the money and put 164 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: him up there in the top five of coaches, okay, 165 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: now we're kind of saying we're gonna Yeah, it shouldn't 166 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: be money. This feels like it's I've taken this as 167 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: far as I could go, almost like Brian Kelly at 168 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Yeah, Hey, I want to win a national championship. 169 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: You can go to LSU. I don't care what kind 170 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: of coach you are. You can win one there because 171 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: they've had three different guys win national titles there. 172 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: Florida. 173 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: I want to go there.

And 186 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 9: don't you again ow its yourself to hear other places 187 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 9: out just to say. 188 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 2: For sure, this is what the agent does. 189 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: He's got, you know, the most powerful agent in college football. 190 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: You're creating, you know. 191 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: But if Todd, if you all of a sudden said, hey, 192 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'm in the last year of my contract 193 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: and I'm I'd like to talk, you know, to Jim 194 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: Rome or Colin Cowherder. They put out somebody's name there, 195 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: I would tell you to go. If you want to 196 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: go and talk to them, I would just say, then go, okay, 197 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: do you understand that? 198 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 10: Though? 199 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 9: I also think there's a difference between you initiating and 200 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 9: looking for other things as opposed to someone is approaching. 201 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 8: You and just wants to chat with you. 202 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 9: Then that and I guess the answer is supposed to 203 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 9: be you're saying, in all instances, I'm doing this right now. 204 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 8: I'll talk to you in a couple of years. 205 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: Yes, okay, you are with me, We're in it together. 206 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: But if you it now, you guys have probably been approached. 207 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: Pauli's been approached by people and they kick the tires 208 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: on this. 209 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: Hey you know, are you interested? 210 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: Paul's using pretty good and saying, hey, you know, somebody 211 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: reached out okay, But if you're actively, you know, going 212 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: to follow up, then I would just say, then just 213 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: go if that's what you're If it's almost like retirement 214 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: when you start talking about retirement, then retire. That's why 215 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: I always I tell athletes, if you're thinking about it, 216 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: then do it, because it's already in your mind. But 217 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: at some point, and I know, loyalty is dead. Loyalty 218 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: is dead in college athletics, maybe in all of sports. 219 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: But you know, there's. 220 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: Something to be said for they took a chance on you. 221 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: You came in, you delivered. Everybody wins. And if you 222 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: want to go and you're going to have your family 223 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: on private planes going to Florida and LSU, then you 224 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: know what, why don't you go? What are you finding 225 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: out on that fact finding mission there? They've been to Florida, 226 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: they've been to LSU. This feels like a negotiating ploy. 227 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: That's all this is because you know Lane can't be 228 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: on that plane, but the family can, and you either 229 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: they're going to find out by default or you're going 230 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 3: to leak it. The one thing, though, I'd love to 231 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: know is that if Lane Kiffen's agent said, Ole Miss, 232 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: here's the number we want and they said okay. Imagine 233 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: if they said it and said, okay, we'll match your number. 234 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: Do it today. Don't leave the office, don't leave the building. 235 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 3: I'd love to know if that happened. 236 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't. 237 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean, is it a million dollars here? A million 238 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: and a half. Now they might say, well, our our 239 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: treasure trove at LSU and Florida is better, bigger, unlimited, 240 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: the you know, things we can do and they can't. 241 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 6: Yeah. 242 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: I understand all of those things. It's just why have contracts? 243 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: Remember these coaches they go, oh, if I you give 244 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: me a ten year deal, then those those players know 245 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to be here. No, they don't. They don't 246 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: know if you're going to last ten years, five years, 247 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: three years, Yes, Dylan, what do you. 248 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 5: Think the percentage of those ten year contracts that actually 249 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 5: get filled to fruition are It's got to be very 250 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 5: lopsided on you. 251 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: I'm going to say, see roll Yeah. 252 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: Maybe Mark Fewitt Gunzaga be about it. A couple of 253 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: phone calls in here, Paul and Iowa, Hi, Paul Wood's 254 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: on your mind today? 255 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 10: Hey, Dan, I don't know what Lane Kiffen needs to learn. 256 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 10: About LSU that he can't learn from his daughter's boyfriend 257 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 10: who's on the team. But my call is about a 258 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 10: different situation up here in Iowa. I'd like you to 259 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 10: kind of assess the attractability of the Hawkeye's job because 260 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 10: Kirk Ference is the longest tenured coach in Division one, 261 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 10: speaking of those ten year contracts, and his succession plan 262 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 10: to its son failed. But they're having a pretty good 263 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 10: year on the edge of the ranking. When is it 264 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 10: time to hang it up to maybe find the next 265 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 10: coach because there's so many available right now. Iowa in 266 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 10: a good position for the future. 267 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to give credit to both sides for 268 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: being loyal. Okay, it's it's not a word we use 269 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: very often. And are there times when I thought Kirk 270 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: Ference was going to go to the NFL? We're taking 271 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: another job? Yeah, I do. But it feels like this 272 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: is who you are? Can you be better than this? 273 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: Is it an attractive job? I mean it's a great 274 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: environment when you go to an Iowa football game. 275 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: Yes, Dylan, I. 276 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 5: Think we just figured it out. One for one trade 277 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 5: Kirk Ference for Lane Kiffen. 278 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: Thank you, Delan, You're welcome. 279 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 4: I think the Iowa. 280 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 3: Thing is interesting because Kirk Farence never has awful years. 281 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 3: They're always average, above average. They always have, you know, 282 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: six wins, ten wins, eight wins, nine wins. He never 283 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: has that season. We're like, we have to blow this 284 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: thing up. 285 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: Scotty in Vegas, Hi, Scotty, what's on your mind today? 286 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 8: Hello? 287 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 11: Dan?

I could be a hitter and I 444 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: could be a pitcher. 445 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 7: I mean the portion I could do is stand in 446 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 7: the box. I couldn't. 447 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: Thinking humble. If I look at what you did when 448 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: you were in college, you could hit. 449 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, that was also. I mean the Mountain West is great. 450 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 15: Like the Mountain West, and I mean even the SEC 451 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 15: and then obviously the big leagues. They're very different things. 452 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 15: So I'm good. I'm good with what I'm doing right now. 453 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 15: I haven't picked up that in two years. 454 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: Okay. 455 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: But if your manager says, hey, why don't you go 456 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: up there and pinship? 457 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 15: Oh yeah, I'm strapping it on like leats, batting gloves, 458 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 15: elbow guards everything. 459 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: Can you be the backup catcher, like in an emergency situation? 460 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 2: Could you catch? 461 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 7: Yeah? I really believe that. 462 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 15: I mean because we play catch every day with pitchers, 463 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 15: so we're used to their stuff and you know, and 464 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 15: catching it. It's just they they I don't think they 465 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 15: would ever put me back there. 466 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: Give me somebody that you'd like to catch, not on 467 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: your staff, any pitcher, because catcher was your first position. 468 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 7: I mean, I roll this chatman. 469 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 15: I mean he was on my team my rookie year, 470 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 15: and he would do some some cool stuff like, you know, 471 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 15: throw a heater ninety one and then throw it one 472 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 15: oh four on the next pitch then didn't really know why, 473 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 15: and it was like a you know, a surprise every 474 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 15: pitch for the catcher would be fun. 475 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: What's your highest recorded pitch, your fastest pitch? 476 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 7: I think one oh two? 477 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: Do you care? 478 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: Like if if I'm assessing how you're pitching, do I 479 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: does the radar gun matter? 480 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 7: It does to me? 481 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 15: In uh, basically like how close I am to my 482 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 15: max and the minimum? Like I want the average to 483 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 15: be as close to those as possible. So like sitting 484 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 15: one hundred it for me is better than hitting one 485 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 15: or two, but sitting ninety seven, If that makes sense? 486 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: What pitch are you going to add in the off season? 487 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 15: I have no idea yet. I barely started throwing right now, 488 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 15: so we'll see. Once I get on the mound and everything. 489 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 15: I might start playing a houts and stuff.

So I don't know 534 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 15: about I mean, when I when I did my paperwork 535 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 15: to leave, there was like a clause in there that like, 536 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 15: I could come back and finish my degree as long 537 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 15: as I finish it before I'm twenty seven. So I 538 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 15: would have to do that in the next couple of years. 539 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 15: So in terms of going back and being a cadet, 540 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 15: that's that's not going to happen. 541 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 7: But they do have a. 542 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 15: Baseball team they need coaches occasionally, so that's something I 543 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 15: would be very excited to do. Living in Colorado, spring 544 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 15: sounds nice. 545 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: You don't get used to losing, but you lose a lot. 546 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: Where you go from winning a national championship, now you 547 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: know you're losing one hundred games. How does that affect 548 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: you or how do you try not to let that 549 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: affect you? 550 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's tough. 551 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 15: It's a you know, a huge adjustment because you know, 552 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 15: all I've done. The Air Force is the winningest organization 553 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 15: in the world, and then I go to l s 554 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 15: U and I win a national championship, and then obviously 555 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 15: I haven't had two great years team wise in Pittsburgh. 556 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 7: So it's been an adjustment. 557 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 15: It's you know, it's tough to not show up to 558 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 15: the field every day and be better sometimes, especially when 559 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 15: it's you know, we're on a seven eight game skid. 560 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 15: I think it, you know, I think it just comes 561 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 15: down to being a professional. I've learned more and more 562 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 15: how to do that and just be the you know, 563 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 15: be the same person every day. I'm still learning how 564 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 15: to do that. So but yeah, it's I mean, it 565 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 15: is energizing to to think about what it could be 566 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 15: if and if and when we do win. So that's 567 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 15: the that's the thing that gets me out of bed. 568 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: But that's how you get these stories that come out, 569 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: because know, can you put up with this with your talent? 570 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,239 Speaker 1: And that's how that report comes out that if it 571 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: was a true report or a rumor. But how do 572 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: you deal with that that an anonymous player says that 573 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: you hope to be traded to the Yankees? 574 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, I was frustrated for a couple hours 575 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 15: and then and then you know, kind of got over 576 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 15: it and talked to the media later that night. You know, 577 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 15: it is what it is. There's stuff that's going to 578 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 15: come out, you know, good and bad. It's you know, 579 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 15: obviously it's it's not true. I think the hardest part 580 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 15: of leading air Force for me was, you know, we 581 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 15: had just won a conference championship, the first one in 582 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 15: the school's history, and you know, didn't and if we 583 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 15: built that and it felt like there was unfinished you know, 584 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 15: work that needed to be done. So that's how it 585 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 15: feels right now. We're you know, I won the we 586 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 15: won the national championship or the conference championship at air Force. 587 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 7: That's that's what is on the horizon for us. We 588 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 7: just have to do it. 589 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 15: And leaving before that would you know, leave a bad 590 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 15: taste in my mouth because there wasn't you know, there 591 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 15: was work to be done that we didn't do. 592 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think this has happened because there's no 593 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: salary cap and we look at smaller markets good place. 594 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: You know, Garrett Cole when he was with the Pirates, 595 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: it's like, how long can these smaller market teams keep players. 596 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 2: So you're just the latest. 597 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: There'll be somebody that comes after you, and you know 598 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: they'll be doing the same thing. 599 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I'm not the first person, not the 600 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 15: first person. That's that's you know, been through this, done this, 601 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 15: and I'm not I'm not the last, you know. It's 602 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 15: just it all comes down to how you look at it, right, 603 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 15: Like you can you can just be better at the 604 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 15: world and pissed off, or you can you know, fight 605 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 15: to to do what's right, make it right, you know, 606 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 15: when those are kind of the the two paths, because 607 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 15: you cannot, like the bar only moves one way, it 608 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 15: only goes up, and for you know, that's the goal. Basically, 609 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 15: it very easily could go down if you let it 610 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 15: go down. So you just got to keep fighting to 611 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 15: raise the bar, you know, for us in Pittsburgh. 612 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 7: But for the next player wherever wherever that is. 613 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: Do you have to make the bed? Does your girlfriend 614 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: make you make the bed? 615 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 7: Still got to make the bed. 616 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 15: That's something that you can't really uh, you can't get 617 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 15: that out of you once you've I probably made a 618 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 15: thousand beds while I was at Air Force, and uh, 619 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 15: actually more than that, probably a thousand only in basic training, 620 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 15: So it's it's habits that are built inside you. 621 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: But is the bouncing the quarter is that true? 622 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 8: They don't. 623 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 15: They don't do that anymore. It's not when I was there, 624 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 15: they might they might have brought that back. 625 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 7: Uh. It's funny. 626 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 15: You'll get people that you know, don't want to make 627 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 15: their bed every morning, and so they like duct tape 628 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 15: it underneath so it's all tight like uh, because we 629 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 15: got a shirt stays there to make sure your your 630 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 15: shirt stays tucked in, and so they'll use those and 631 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 15: tie it from one side to the other. So you'll 632 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 15: learn those tricks from from being in it a little bit. 633 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 15: But anyway, No, I don't. 634 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 7: I don't think the quarter thing is is true anymore. 635 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: Most famous person you've met. 636 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 15: Probably right now, I mean Shane Gillis.

Did you see his 660 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: girlfriend was in the background walking by. 661 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: A couple of times. 662 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 4: I didn't see that, yep, yep. 663 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: Now I was going to say, hey, why don't you 664 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: get your girlfriend tome up here and join us, but 665 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: she was going back and forth a couple of times. 666 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 8: Yes, no yankee questions. They're just going to shut that 667 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 8: out in the matter. 668 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: All right, we asked the question. We got it out there. Yeah, 669 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: he handled it, okay, Yeah, Pauli. 670 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 3: It really is a tough situation for him as well. 671 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 3: Like you'd love to be loyal to the Pirates and 672 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 3: build something there, but you're also saying, I may sign 673 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 3: up for a career that doesn't get me deep in 674 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 3: the postseason. Ever, Like Tony Gwinn generations ago, loyalty can. 675 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 3: It's impressive and it's respectable, but I don't know if 676 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 3: it's the right move. 677 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: I remember when Kevin Garnett was criticized because he didn't 678 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: want to leave Minnesota to go win a championship and 679 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: that he was loyal. Like, I think we got our 680 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: compasses pointing the wrong direction here, Like we should give 681 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: credit to somebody who is loyal. Is he going to 682 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: win a championship in Minnesota? No? I think they went 683 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: to the Western Conference finals one year, but then he 684 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: went to Boston end up, you know, winning a championship. 685 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Paulie, he wins a cy Young by going ten 686 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: to ten with a one point nine to seven ERA. 687 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 3: I did some research on it. If he had the 688 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 3: average run support of like the top twenty pitchers in 689 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: the National League last year, he probably would have been 690 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 3: twenty four and five. Yeah, twenty four and five in 691 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 3: this day and age twenty four wins is like, it's 692 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 3: like forty all right. 693 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: When we come back, we have our super Bowl picks. 694 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: But if I give everybody a mulligan, who would you 695 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 1: pick to win the Super Bowl? We'll have that for you. 696 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: It's called stick or pick. Gotta have every segment has 697 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: to have a name.

I'll start with you. You 710 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: pick the Ravens over the Lions. Do you want to 711 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: stick or pick? 712 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 8: I am not sticking with either of those predictions. I 713 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 8: Am now going with Rams over Bills. Getting rid of 714 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 8: both of the teams that I had. 715 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: All right, Marvin, you had the Lions beating the Bengals. 716 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: Do you want to stick or pick? I'm gonna pick. 717 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: Obviously the Bengals. They seem like they're in trouble. So 718 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to pick the Lions over the Bills. 719 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 2: It's over the Bills. Paul, you had the Lions over 720 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: the Bills. Are you going to stick or pick? 721 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 3: Both are a little shakier than I like. I'm gonna stick. 722 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 3: I am absolutely sticking on this Lions over Bills. 723 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: I picked the Lions to beat the Chiefs. Am I 724 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: gonna stick or pick? I'm gonna stick. I get a stick. Yes, Yeah, 725 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick. 726 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 4: There's more upside to sticking. 727 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't want to go. 728 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: Let me go rams in Buffalo and then all of 729 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Lions and the Chiefs get to the 730 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. 731 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 2: So that's my original prediction. I'll stay with that one. 732 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: By the way, Seaton, who is in Vegas, he has 733 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: Ravens over the Eagles. 734 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 3: Yes, Polly, the Ravens are back in the mix, but 735 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 3: do they feel threatening? You could be in contention for 736 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 3: a playoff spot and a threatening team, but sometimes it's 737 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 3: not both. I don't That pause tells me. 738 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 2: I just don't get a good handle on them. 739 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's such an uphill climb that, you know, you 740 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: start out with a couple of wins and just to 741 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: get back up over five hundred, that takes a lot. 742 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: You know, they won four in a row, like you 743 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: you got to play It's almost like you're playing playoff 744 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: football for about two months, and that's really really hard 745 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: to sustain. 746 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 12: Yes, but you've seen that. On the opposite end were 747 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,240 Speaker 12: teams like the Giants with Eli Manning. They were playing 748 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 12: playoff like games to get into the playoffs, so they 749 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 12: were already used to that winner, go home pressure. 750 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but to try to do it for two months 751 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: is really difficult. And I think the Giants, whether they 752 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: were they nine and six that year nine and I 753 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: think nine and seven and then they went to the 754 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think both those times they went to 755 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, didn't they have just nine wins? 756 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 12: You know they were wildcard teams. I'm not sure, Yeah 757 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 12: the record, yeah, yeah, PAULI. 758 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, they were nine and seven in twenty eleven and 759 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl with a wild card. They were 760 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 3: ten and six in two thousand and seven and won 761 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, but they slid in on the last 762 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 3: two games of the year. 763 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that's what happens. 764 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: We see this a lot of times where team has 765 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: a first round by and then they're facing a team 766 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: that's been scratching a clawing to try to get into 767 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: the postseason and they're already on their game. 768 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul, it's. 769 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 3: So wild that Eli Manning's Hall of Fame campaign, which 770 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 3: he's going to get in, is based off two times 771 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 3: where you slid into the playoffs. 772 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 773 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 4: Wild. 774 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: I saw this with our friend Cam Newton. I think 775 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,479 Speaker 1: he might have been on either his podcast or First Take, 776 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: and he was saying that Kevin Stefanski the Browns, you know, 777 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: basically is sabotaging should or Sanders, doesn't want him to 778 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: be able to succeed, and you know, I guess to 779 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: not give him first team reps. I mean, there's it's 780 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: really mind blowing the number of people who are bothered 781 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,720 Speaker 1: by this that should Or Sanders somehow is not getting 782 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 1: a chance. Now, when Chase Daniel was a career backup, 783 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: and you know, Josh McCown, these are career backups. They 784 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: said you know, recently we didn't get first team reps. 785 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: The backup doesn't get first team reps? Like, why are 786 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: we giving preferential treatment to Shador Sanders. I mean, Dylan 787 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: Gabriel needs every one of those reps to be ready. 788 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: Now you can say, what, well, Dylan Gabriel gets hurt. Okay, 789 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,240 Speaker 1: do the Rams do this with Matthew Stafford? 790 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 2: Do they? 791 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. I'm assuming they do not. 792 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: Go you know, if matt gets hurt, we better have 793 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: our backup getting some first team reps. You know, was 794 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: Davis Mills getting first team reps when CJ. Stroud was 795 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,280 Speaker 1: still playing for the Texans. I'm gonna guess he didn't. 796 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: Did anybody ask that question? Did anybody say Davis Mills 797 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: didn't get a fair shake because he didn't get first 798 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: team reps? The media has to be carried like did 799 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph? Is he getting first team reps just in 800 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: case Aaron Rodgers breaks his wrist? 801 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 2: I mean, just be fair to the position. 802 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: And guys, you your career backups are saying this, and look, 803 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: Cam can have his opinion, but you're trying to tell me. 804 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski wants to tank this season, he's already on 805 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: the hot seat. He's trying to save his job. You 806 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: would think he would put the best player in there, 807 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: and if it's Shaud or Sanders, put him in. 808 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 10: Now. 809 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: Do I think it's fair to assess that performance against 810 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens. No, because they were coming after him and 811 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: they were hitting him on every play. But you know, 812 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: these members of the media who are carrying water for 813 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: Dion and Shador, you're going to put him in a 814 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: position like Tim Tebow. Nobody's gonna want to have him 815 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: on the roster because of all of this drama that 816 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: goes along with him, even as a backup quarterback. I 817 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: don't want that. If he can, great, but I don't 818 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: want Shandor Sanders if he's going to be a backup quarterback. 819 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: Because Kevin Stefanski hears these questions every single day because 820 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: everybody is like, hey, put Shador in. Hey he didn't 821 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: get first team reps. Like, yeah, we know that, you 822 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: don't get first team reps. There's only so many reps 823 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: in practice. Tim hassel Beck, career backup here with us 824 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: yesterday said the same thing, you don't get first team reps. 825 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, PAULI Peyton Manning talked about this the other day 826 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 3: about first team reps, and his former coach and offensive 827 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 3: coordinator Tom Moore talked about is they gave Peyton Manning 828 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 3: every first team rep unless Peyton wanted to get a 829 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 3: step of water or something, because they would never plan 830 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 3: on the backup being in and the star quarterbacks never 831 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 3: want to give up a first team rep, and it's 832 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 3: up to the quarterback as much as it is to 833 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: the team. But they said it's never happens that way. 834 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 3: Second string is don't get them. 835 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that people are viewing this. Michael wilbon 836 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 1: on pardon the interruption, talking about Shudor didn' get in 837 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 1: first team reps. Okay, you're creating this story because Shadoor 838 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: Sanders gets clicks, Dion gets clicks. 839 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 2: Like that's it, and I just go. 840 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: Be fair to the story, Be fair to the coach, 841 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: be fair to the starting quarterback, be fair to the 842 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: role of. 843 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 2: The backup quarterback. That's all. 844 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 10: Yeah. 845 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 2: Pulling. 846 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 3: Also, Dylan Gabriel this year has not been spectacular, but 847 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 3: in six starts he's a sixty percent passer with seven 848 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 3: touchdowns and only two picks. That's not great, but it 849 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 3: sure isn't awful. 850 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,280 Speaker 4: It's not awful. Yeah, No one's talking about him playing decently. 851 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 2: Everybody wants to. 852 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: I hope Schador gets a chance to play, all right, 853 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: and I'm hoping just so that can answer some questions. 854 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 8: That's all. 855 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 2: Give him a chance. 856 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: Let's see if he can actually play the position. It's man, 857 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people. It ruins their day 858 00:41:59,080 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: when he doesn't
