I don't ever 69 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 6: remember that ever, like being a problem period? 70 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 7: Do you? 71 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 8: I guess you're also trying to navigate and move your 72 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 8: hands as you slide anyway, Like if you're just letting 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 8: it flail out there to get cleaned, it just doesn't 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 8: make any sense to me. 75 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 5: But well, some guys, actually, some guys use it to 76 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 5: give them. 77 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: They're you're not a pro jonas he said, hold on pro, 78 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: hold on, but I don't care about your whole sliding theory. 79 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 4: But some guys, some guys use it to give them 80 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: a little extra ad on their hands so they can get. 81 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 5: To the base sooner. 82 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: Oh god, that is that? Yeah? So are you are you? 83 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: Should you be considered out if he tags the tip? 84 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 5: No, you can't know if he. 85 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: Tags your tip, are you out because your fingers aren't there. 86 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 8: It's just just doesn't that just actually make your body 87 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 8: bigger to tag out? 88 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: Then? 89 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you just got this. 90 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: If your theory is. 91 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 8: That it helps you get to the bag quicker because 92 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 8: it's you know, getting extension of your arm its target 93 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 8: where at right? 94 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 6: I mean they legitimately, they legitimately look like oven mits LeVar. 95 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 6: What do you think it's a pretty soft look? 96 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: Do you think I will considered you know, maybe there's 97 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: less friction, you know, like I can recall first of all, 98 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: I wasn't a good slider because I wasn't I wasn't 99 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: great at baseball. But but and that's hard, like that's 100 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: a learned art, learning how to slide. So if you're 101 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: going hit first, face first and you're sliding, which I 102 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: would assume that that's the only time that these mits 103 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: would really matter. Maybe it's just less friction, like you 104 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: can move quicker to the bag, I would assume, and 105 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: and not possibly damage your hand. But like like you 106 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: guys are saying, I mean, it's such manicure, manicured dirt 107 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: that that you're sliding on, I don't know that it 108 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: would would matter. I would assume that there's other parts 109 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: of you that would be you know, and at risk 110 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: of getting brushburns and stuff like that if you slid. 111 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't, I don't. I'm not 112 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: sure what the mits, you know, how the mits serve 113 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: a real purpose? You know? And this you know, especially 114 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: if it's like at a high level. I could see 115 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: if it was like Little League, there might be. 116 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 7: That. 117 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 6: I almost feel it would make you slower too, like 118 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 6: just not having your hands free, like feeling that you're 119 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 6: wearing like these like frying pnds are like, I don't know, 120 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 6: it just feels like it would be like it would 121 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 6: make your it would make you feel slower, right, I 122 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 6: don't know. 123 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 7: Maybe I'm wrong about that part of it. 124 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: It'd probably also be hard to convers so if you're 125 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: trying to do like, uh, you know the pantomime stuff 126 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: where you were using your hands similar to like what 127 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: should or was doing yesterday. 128 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 6: Right, like when you're trying to like get people to 129 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 6: understand you without speaking. 130 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, what was that? 131 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: And what about Hanson? 132 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 6: I mean not that I don't know, guys, it doesn't 133 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 6: feel to me like the behavior for starting quarterback.

You know. 177 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 6: He actually brought more attention to himself by doing the 178 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 6: mind thing than than than than he would have if 179 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 6: he had just gone out there and answered some questions. 180 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 6: But he didn't even need to do that because he's 181 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 6: not playing, you know, so I don't know. 182 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 8: At some point he plays this season though, right, I mean, 183 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 8: like the way this thing's going, I mean. 184 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 6: That's up to him and maybe the owner. I don't know. 185 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 6: I mean like I think like I think it's you 186 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 6: guys know this, like and this is something that's been 187 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 6: like impressed on me over the years, like you know, 188 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 6: in covering the sport. It's just you know, talking to 189 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 6: the guys like you you guys have played it and 190 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 6: guys who coach it, like you know, to put a 191 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 6: guy in there at that position, you got to have 192 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 6: confidence that, like he's going to be able to operate 193 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 6: the offense at a level that's going to allow the 194 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 6: other ten guys in the huddle to perform, you know, 195 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 6: And so can he do that? You know, is he is? 196 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 6: Is he going to be providing that for for his teammates? Like, 197 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 6: and I think that's the big that's the bigger thing. 198 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 6: And that's why I say it's up to him, you know, Like, 199 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 6: you know, his opportunity is can be dictated by how 200 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 6: he comes along in practice and what he looks like 201 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 6: in the coach's confidence to put him in there. Does 202 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 6: the organization want to get a look at him before 203 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 6: the end of the year, Sure, you know, they want 204 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 6: to get a look at all the guys at that 205 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 6: position so they can make a coherent decision on where 206 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 6: they're going at quarterbacks in twenty twenty six, whether they're 207 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 6: going to draft on or or trade or sign, trade 208 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 6: for or sign a veteran, like if you want to 209 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 6: have as much information as he possibly can on the 210 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 6: guys that you have already on your roster. But on 211 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 6: this on the flip side, you doors got to earn 212 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 6: that too, you know, unless unless somebody above the coach. 213 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 6: Coach steps in and says, says, you know, like we 214 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 6: have to take a look at him, Like I would 215 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 6: think that Chador. 216 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 7: Is going to have to earn that in practice and 217 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 7: we'll see if he can. 218 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks that are are good, ab you got 219 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and you got Jalen Hurts. These are quarterbacks 220 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: of the two remaining unbeaten teams. I saw your article, Uh, 221 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: you know your thoughts on the Eagles, and I see 222 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you. The old school way 223 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: of playing football, the old school approach, the way the 224 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: coaches is old school. Everything is kind of old school 225 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: about the Eagles. But when you look at the Bills, 226 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: they kind of have that same type of approach as well. 227 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: Both quarterbacks have mobility. Maybe Josh Allen, maybe the better quarterback, 228 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: may have more mobility. But at the end of the day, 229 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: you're talking about a formula that kind of is working, 230 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: even though it might look ugly. What's your is the 231 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: Are the Eagles the best team in the NFL? Is 232 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: it is it the Bills that are the best? Say? 233 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: Either way, right, both teams are doing it pretty much the. 234 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 6: Right. I mean, like I would say the Eagles It's 235 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 6: interesting because I think the Eagles are and I think. 236 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 7: This is like this doesn't sound like a compliment. 237 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 6: There's the highest compliment I think is the Eagles are 238 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 6: the team that can beat you the most amount of ways, 239 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like the Eagles can win 240 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 6: all types of games, which I think is what it 241 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 6: takes to win in the playoffs, because you're going to 242 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 6: run into teams that are going to be able to 243 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 6: take away what. 244 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 7: You do well. You're going to run into different conditions, you. 245 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 6: Know, whether it's the snow, the cold, the wind, whatever 246 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 6: it is that can force you to play a certain style. 247 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 6: And you know, if they say styles win fights, like 248 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 6: the Eagles are capable of playing the most amount of styles, 249 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 6: you know, and so like and I think you saw it, 250 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 6: like at the end of that Rams game, you know, 251 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 6: when they were able to take away San Sake one barklay, 252 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 6: which not many teams can do that. But when the 253 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 6: when the Rams were able to take away take one 254 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 6: Barklay in the run game. I mean, in the second 255 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 6: half of. 256 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 7: That game, it was the A. J. 257 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 6: Brown and DeVante Smith show, you know what I mean, 258 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 6: Like every critical spot they were going to those two 259 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 6: and you know, I sort of seem you know, I 260 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 6: think it's you know, I think it's smart to you 261 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 6: to parallel the Bills, because you know, the Bills. I 262 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 6: think you saw something closer to their ceiling in the opener. 263 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 7: And now it's almost like they're. 264 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 6: Not taking the Ferrari out when it's. 265 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 7: Raining, you know what I mean. Like now it's like 266 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 7: we're going to keep the We're going to keep the Ferrari. 267 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 6: In the garage because we don't need to. We don't 268 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 6: need to pull it out and get it scuffed up now, 269 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 6: you know. So like you know, like those. 270 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 7: Two teams because they're so good, because they're so. 271 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 6: Versatile, you know, have an ability to play certain styles 272 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 6: and play all styles really and then manage their seasons 273 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 6: a certain way. So you know, like do the Bills 274 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 6: need to empty the clip to beat the Saints? 275 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 7: Snow? So they didn't. 276 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 6: Empty the clip against the Saints, you know, and and 277 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 6: it might have looked a little tight there at the end, 278 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 6: but they were able to step on their throat at 279 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 6: the end and. 280 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: Win, you know. 281 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 7: And same with the Eagles, Like do the Eagles need Aj. 282 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 6: Brown and Devontae Smith to combine for you know, fifteen 283 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 6: catches every week. No, so like you know they're gonna 284 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 6: you know that they can save that tread on those 285 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 6: guys tires, and they can win different ways, and you know, 286 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 6: you continue to develop different ways to win games. 287 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 7: And I think it serves you well in January. 288 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 6: And you know, I don't think, I don't think. I 289 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 6: don't think any of. 290 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 7: Us would be We'll be. 291 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 6: Speaking out of school to say those two teams are 292 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 6: probably not only are they ndefeated now, they're probably going 293 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 6: to be there at the end too. 294 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 4: Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB, 295 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 4: joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. What are the 296 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 4: Bengals do? Because I think the thought was, well, Jake Browning, 297 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: although obviously a step down from Joe Burrow, at least 298 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, we saw some glimpses that 299 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 4: they can operate or at least stay afloat until potentially 300 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 4: Burrow comes back. 301 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: Later in the year. 302 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 4: They look awful, and I know Zach Taylor came out 303 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 4: yesterday and said, I have all the faith in the 304 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 4: world in Jake, but are there options outside of him 305 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 4: that would make sense for them at this point? 306 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 5: If they wanted to me to compete. 307 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 6: Here's the way, here's the way I've kind of come 308 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 6: to look at this like I you know, I when 309 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 6: I when I first started covering the league, I was 310 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 6: in the Patriots feet. 311 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 7: As you guys know, and so I was that was 312 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 7: in the. 313 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 6: Middle of the Brady Manning rivalry, and it felt like 314 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 6: those two franchises were gonna win forever, right, and then, 315 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 6: like you know, the Colts bottom out just the right time. 316 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 6: They wind up with Andrew Lock so their their their 317 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 6: run gets extended a little bit. And then when Luck retires, 318 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 6: like the whole thing kind of went to It was 319 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 6: like like year and a year, like how are you 320 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 6: talk taping this thing together? And then the Patriots lose 321 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 6: Brady and they completely collapse, and you know, it just 322 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 6: sort of like for me at least, it kind of 323 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 6: you know, gave me the lesson that like every opportunity 324 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 6: you have with a quarterback like this to go into 325 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 6: the into the playoffs of the quarterback like this is gold, 326 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 6: so you need to take advantage of it. I relate 327 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 6: that to the Bengals because I think, yeah, I think 328 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 6: the time has come for them to look in the 329 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 6: mirror a little bit and say, do we really think 330 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 6: like we can get to seven wins by the time 331 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 6: Joe Burrow gets back, which should be the middle of December, right, 332 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 6: do we really think that we can get there? 333 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 7: Because if you don't, like I think, you owe. 334 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 6: It to yourself to look for different answers at the position. 335 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 6: Maybe that's Kirk Cousins. And I think if you look 336 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 6: at it, like. 337 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 7: If they were to trade for Kirk Cousins. 338 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 6: At the you know, in a couple of weeks, I 339 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 6: think the number would be down around eighteen million dollars 340 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 6: for the rest of the year. 341 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 7: For eighteen million dollars, and. 342 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 6: Let's call it like a fourth round pick, is that 343 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 6: worth it? A lot of people might say no, he's 344 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 6: only going to start whatever many games, But to have 345 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 6: the opportunity to go into the playoffs with Joe Burrow, 346 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 6: I would say it would be worth that investment. You know, 347 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 6: like if you think Kirk Cousins can come in and 348 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 6: get you to say seven and six when Joe Burrow 349 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 6: gets back, and then you're in the playoffs with Joe Burrow, 350 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 6: with a team that's developed different strengths now because Joe 351 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 6: Burrow was out, Like I would one say that's worth 352 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 6: the investment. I long way of saying, like, I think 353 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 6: they've got to be really honest with themselves now about 354 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 6: their ability to create a playoff opportunity for themselves when 355 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 6: Joe Burrow gets back. 356 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 7: And if Jake Browning can't get them there. 357 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 6: I think they owe it to themselves to at least 358 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 6: explore different ideas of how they can get there. 359 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 8: I've got another one for you, The New York Giants. 360 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 8: Obviously Jackson Dart brings in some juice, gets them a win. 361 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 8: Why keep both russ and Jamis? You know, is there 362 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 8: not a team out there that would look at Jamis 363 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 8: or Brussel for that matter, and go, yeah, that would 364 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 8: help us right now? 365 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: The beg Wills being one of. 366 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 7: Them, Yeah, I mean I think I think they. 367 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 6: I think if you're the Giants are definitely open for business, 368 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 6: you know, like I You've now you're in on Jackson Dart. 369 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 6: Obviously there's no turning back there, and so as I'm 370 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 6: the Giants, I would absolutely explore it. 371 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: You know. 372 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 7: Now, I think, like what I mentioned with Kirk Cousins 373 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 7: and Bengals. 374 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 6: I think is a little bit of a unique fit, 375 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 6: you know, Zach Taylor worked for McVeigh in Los Angeles 376 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 6: and McVeigh was Kirk cousins offensive coordinator in Washington. 377 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 7: So I think with Cousins going to Cincinnati, there would 378 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 7: be like an. 379 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 6: Opportunity to sort of hit the ground running there that 380 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 6: may not exist the exact same way with a Winston 381 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 6: or Wilson. 382 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 7: But I would agree with you, like. 383 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 6: I think, I think that the Giants will should and 384 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 6: will listen to any offers for either of those two guys. 385 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 6: I don't know if you want to get rid of 386 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 6: both of them, you know, because I think you certainly 387 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 6: want to have some insurance there, and you also, I 388 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 6: think you value what you've sort of built in the 389 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 6: quarterback room over the course of this year. 390 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 7: And so having the support of a veteran. 391 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 6: Quarterback in there for your young quarterbacks good. But I 392 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 6: would I would definitely entertain the idea of. 393 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: Moving one or the other, you know, Abe, I listened 394 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: to all the conversations, listen to our questions just now, 395 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: and you know, looking at all the things that are 396 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: out there, it's interesting, like the different kind of comparisons, 397 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: Like Jerry Jones comes out and says, well, you know, 398 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: I didn't pay Michael Parsons because it wasn't really going 399 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: to improve us to the level that he wanted it 400 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: to improve us to. So a lot of people feel 401 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: as though Jerry made the right business decision by paying 402 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. But then I look at a team like 403 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland who paid Miles Garrett and they're a one win team. 404 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: So Miles Garrett, who some would say, you know, most 405 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: would say, I guess outside of you know, if you're 406 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: on a debate Michael Parsons or maybe TJ Y whoever else, 407 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: that he's the best defender in the league and his 408 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: team is one in three. I just I just wonder, 409 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: when we're having these conversations, how how do we measure 410 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: engage when one is seems to be more relevant than 411 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: the other, Because I don't think that takes away from 412 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: the greatness of Miles Garrett that they're a one in 413 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: three team. You know, Cincinnati, they're losing as well. Trey 414 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: Hendrickson got which I mean, obviously what isn't an elite, 415 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: but he got a deal. I mean, how how should 416 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: we be looking at this because we do get a 417 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: direct comparison with the fact that, okay, you could use 418 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: the same exact reasoning with Miles Garrett. If we're looking. 419 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 6: At it that way, right, yeah, I would say, well, 420 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 6: I would say yeah, Like I think like the trade 421 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 6: market for those two is going to come naturally, just 422 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 6: in that if if those teams are out of the 423 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 6: out of the race, like the Bengals and Browns don't 424 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 6: really need to do much. 425 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 7: And there are separate. 426 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 6: Situations, right like where with Miles Garrett, you're talking about 427 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 6: taking on a big contract and he's a much better player, 428 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 6: but like you're talking about taking on a big contract 429 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 6: right like so and and you're going to have him 430 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 6: for a few years, so there's the risk, there's a 431 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 6: financial risk you're taking with how much money you're taking on, 432 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 6: but then you also have him signed for a few years, 433 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 6: versus with Trey Hendrickson, you're talking about a guy who 434 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 6: is also as expensive, not quite as expensive, and in 435 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 6: a contract here so you don't have him beyond this year. 436 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 6: So there's separate situations. But I think that that that 437 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 6: sort of thing is going to happen naturally. And you know, 438 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 6: I think if you're a contending team, that would be 439 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 6: one thing that you would circle and you would look 440 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 6: at that, and you would say, okay, like what can 441 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 6: we go out and do? And you know, again maybe 442 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 6: it's something I think we talked about Detroit, right, Like 443 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 6: Detroit would be an interesting one for one. 444 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 7: Of those guys. 445 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 6: I would like, you know, now Detroit still got paid Hutchinson. 446 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 7: So you know there's that question too. 447 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 6: But like if you're if you're the Lions, and again 448 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 6: like you look at it like we're right back in 449 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 6: it and we need some we need to put somebody 450 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 6: opposit Aiden Hutchinson. And last year they did that was 451 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 6: a Darius Smith. You know that that would be a 452 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 6: team that might make that call. Could the Eagles make 453 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 6: that call? I know the Eagles had inquired a Mile 454 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 6: Scaret in the past. So I think these sorts of 455 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 6: things will happen naturally. And you know it's on those 456 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 6: teams then, to test the appetite of the Browns and 457 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 6: Bengals to trade those guys. That that again is assuming 458 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 6: that by the time we get to Halloween right around 459 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 6: there when the trade deadline believe is November fourth, that 460 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 6: those teams are out of any realistic playoff contention. 461 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 4: All right, Albert Breer, before I let you go, you 462 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 4: know I'm just curious, do you believe that this Saturday, 463 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 4: by the time the game is over between Ohio State 464 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 4: and Minnesota, that the buck Eys will have won. 465 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 5: By more than twenty three and a half points. 466 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 6: You want to talk about not taking the ferrari out 467 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 6: of the garage right Like, I think the Ohio State 468 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 6: Buckeyes right now are like the ultimate example of that, 469 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 6: like where they're able to just choke teams out and 470 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 6: they haven't really. 471 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 7: Taken the ferrari out of the garage yet. I think 472 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 7: this week maybe you starting to see them put a 473 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 7: little bit more like, let. 474 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 6: You know, kind of like loosen the rains a little 475 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 6: bit on Julian saying, I'll say they cover Let's say 476 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 6: this one's like thirty one to seven, maybe so they 477 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 6: just cover that spread a little bit. 478 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 8: Do you uh, do you have some concerns about their 479 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 8: you know, limited ability attacking down the field. 480 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 2: I think he's only. 481 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 8: Thrown like fifteen balls twenty yards or more downfield. 482 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 2: I don't know, like I'm not so it can be 483 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: intentional in two ways. 484 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: Though. 485 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 8: It could be intentional because they don't feel like they 486 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 8: need to. It can be intentional because they don't feel 487 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 8: like that's Julian's strength, which is a terrible pairing then 488 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 8: with the wide receivers that they have, or it could 489 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 8: be you know, just a byproduct. 490 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, but they went downfield. I mean, like if you 491 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 6: watch the game against Sou, like album went downfield. 492 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 8: Albert, Albert. This is not an opinion. He's thrown fifteen 493 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 8: balls that have gone over twenty yards downfield, right, Like 494 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 8: that's that's me looking at a passing map telling you 495 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 8: I'm not This isn't an opinion. 496 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 7: This is me telling you I think you've. 497 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 6: Seen the ability to do it, right, don't you. 498 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he does. 499 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 8: And that's why, like I'm kind of looking at it and 500 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 8: going all right, like what's what's going on here? 501 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 7: Yeah? 502 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 6: I mean I think I I think like you look 503 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 6: at the circumstances of the last of the big games 504 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 6: of course against Texas and Washington, I think there were 505 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 6: reasons why you were being careful there, and you want 506 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 6: to win those games on defense. You saw a little 507 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 6: bit more testing of that, you know, against scrambling and 508 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 6: and and Ou. And I think here's where this is 509 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 6: where like you're probably looking at, Okay, this stretch, maybe 510 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 6: you want to grow a little bit more with the 511 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 6: downfield passing game, but the defense is. 512 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 7: So good right now, I don't know.

Listen, this is where you just 587 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 4: turn it over. This is where you turn it over 588 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 4: to the one and the only break t Quinn to 589 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 4: try and explain what the hell this means, I'm moq 590 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 4: other than two billion dollars for the Big Ten as 591 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 4: they continue. It would include a ten year extension of 592 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 4: the Big Ten's grant of rights, so it would take 593 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 4: them all the way up to two thousand and forty six. 594 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 5: So, mister Big Ten, what do we say here? 595 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 2: Buddy? I got more questions that I know answers for you. 596 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 2: I mean, I think the obvious is that. 597 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 8: There is a thought that these athletic departments at various 598 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 8: universities are struggling because they now have to shell out 599 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 8: twenty and a half million as what was part of 600 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 8: their revenue from the TV contracts with the student athletes. 601 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 2: They've got to share that per the House INCAA settlement. 602 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 8: So there is a portion of schools who you know, 603 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 8: the budgets are probably tighter than you think in regards 604 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 8: to a lot of the schools. And in the Big 605 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 8: Ten alone, there's eighteen schools. Four were operating in the red, 606 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 8: so there's four who are not making a profit. Now 607 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 8: that's not high percentage of that conference, and you could 608 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 8: probably figure out which four schools those were, but the 609 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 8: general point is that you know, if they were making 610 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 8: ten twenty million, that's that's gone. 611 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 2: Now they've got to find other ways to do so. 612 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 8: The existence of collectives has also tacked into their ability 613 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 8: to fundraise privately from donors, so they're looking for other 614 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 8: sources of capital. Now what's interesting about this is the 615 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 8: extension of the grant of rights and the timing of this. 616 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: So, like my first question is. 617 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 8: The two billion is obviously tied to the extension of 618 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 8: keeping all these schools together, as you would imagine, because 619 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 8: if you're a company that's investing into the Big Ten, 620 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 8: you're saying, we feel like, you know, we can help 621 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 8: you continue to grow and generate more revenue, and lieu 622 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 8: of that, we're going to make back xtra percentage on 623 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 8: our investment. 624 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: Right, we're gonna get that. 625 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 8: That's our return on our invest But I also wonder 626 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 8: if there was a thought that maybe there are some 627 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 8: teams that want to break off, or maybe there is 628 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 8: the potential for things to break up even more, and 629 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 8: this at least in some way keeps them together, makes 630 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 8: their some sort of penalty, I assume, for if a 631 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 8: school wants to leave, but at the same time accomplishes 632 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 8: the goal of any athletic departments of the Big Ten 633 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 8: that we're concerned about being able to stay afloat, support 634 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 8: their Olympic sports, support their women's sports, or whatever you 635 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 8: want to point to that struggling. They've got the capital 636 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 8: do so now. So it's interesting from that standpoint. I 637 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 8: kind of look at it though, and just wonder, like, 638 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 8: how is this really possible? I mean, you look at 639 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 8: some of these like the NFL, for example, the league 640 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 8: agreed to, you know, private equity companies be able to 641 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 8: buy up to ten percent of individual organizations. 642 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: So that's individually, how it's done. 643 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 8: Collectively as a group, the Big Ten has agreed to 644 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 8: the this to take on this capital, So I'm curious, like, 645 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 8: is it evenly distributed. 646 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 2: There's been there's been talks of certain. 647 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 8: Brands that generate more revenue getting a pro rat of 648 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 8: share of what you know, TV revenue would be coming in, 649 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 8: for example, or even private Equiti revenue coming in. 650 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: Like, is it a fairfoll Ohio State to take the 651 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: same cut as Rutgers. 652 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 8: I mean, I think we all want things to be 653 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 8: like equitable, But the reality is Ohio State really carries 654 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 8: the entire conference along with Michigan, Penn State, you know, 655 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 8: and some other big brands. But they're the most valued 656 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 8: sports program in the country. So again I've got more 657 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 8: questions about it than answers. I think it's a good thing, 658 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 8: though you don't you know, hear this coming out of 659 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 8: the SEC and not saying that they won't make this 660 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 8: move eventually as well. 661 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 2: But if you look at who generates the most money. 662 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 8: From the TV revenue, if you look at who's won 663 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 8: the last two national championships, which programs are are competing 664 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 8: and putting themselves up at the top at least of 665 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 8: college foot law as an indication, the Big ten has 666 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 8: more money and it's surpassing the SEC right now. And 667 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 8: we understand that if you're a better funded it leads 668 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 8: to better results and that's what we're saying right now. 669 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: In college football, I would I would, first of all, 670 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: and group licensing situations. I guess if that would be 671 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: a fair comparison Q. I don't know, but maybe if 672 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: you're looking at it from a group licensing type of deal, 673 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: the lower tier guys don't make as much as the 674 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: top tier guys, and I would probably think that looking 675 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: at who's the drivers, like, Okay, come be in our conference. 676 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: We're going to drive it. You're going to make more money. 677 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: You're just not going to make more money than us. 678 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: If I'm Ohio State, or if I'm Oregon, if I'm 679 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: Penn State or Michigan, I would most likely want to 680 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: make the lion share based off of what we're bringing 681 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: to the tape. But with that being said, I also 682 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: would want the Big Ten to remain the most competitive, 683 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: strongest conference. And if you're looking at it maybe from 684 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: a long run, long game type of approach, right then 685 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: maybe you do give maybe you do make it more 686 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: of an even share. And the idea and that I 687 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: guess the spirit of if the more resources these other 688 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: teams have, it's going to make it harder for you 689 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: to be able to beat them, moving into the future, 690 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: but it also makes it competitive and creates parody. So 691 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: I just wonder who's making the decisions. Right, If it's 692 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: the Big Ten, I'm saying, let's try to even Let's 693 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: do it evenly so that we can make all our 694 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: teams very competitive. If I'm a coach or if I'm 695 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: the University of them themselves, I would probably be leaning 696 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 1: more towards I want to make the Lions share because 697 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: this is what we have, this is what we bring 698 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: to the table. They're the group, we're the lead singer. 699 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 6: You know. 700 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: That would be how I would look at it, though 701 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I mean seems to make sense. 702 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 8: I think what's really interesting about all this is have 703 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 8: you guys seen an the commercials by Cody Campbell. He's 704 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 8: the billionaire that's been helping to fund Texas Tech, who 705 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 8: for those who don't know, he invested a ton of 706 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 8: money this offseason. Basically their entire basically their entire defensive 707 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 8: line is all new. They're all transfer portal players, Romelo Heights, 708 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 8: David Bailey, a couple of the inside players as well, 709 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 8: all very very good. I mean, they have in one 710 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 8: year completely turned around their defense and in part because 711 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 8: the front and some of the other players he's brought 712 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 8: into the transfer portal. But he has been advocating for 713 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 8: a change in the Sports Broadcasting Act. And look, there's 714 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 8: varying opinions on this, and I had a chance to 715 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 8: talk to him just for a few moments. We really 716 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 8: didn't get into the weeds on anything. But there's contrasting 717 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 8: thoughts where he's pushing for a change and really lobbying 718 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 8: the federal government for a change in the Sports Broadcasting 719 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 8: Agreement because he thinks that a lot of these athletic 720 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 8: departments are going to go defunct because of the rev 721 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 8: share from the House NCAA settlement. 722 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 2: Now, again, how much of that is legitimately true, I 723 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: don't know. 724 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 8: I mean, I look at all this and just say, 725 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 8: most people, if they're publicly, you know, advocating for something, 726 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 8: they've got some sort of skin in the game. 727 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 2: You know, there's some reason that they're pushing for this. 728 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 8: And in this case, if you want to change the 729 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 8: Sports Broadcast Sports Broadcasting Act, what it would do would 730 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 8: essentially be it would take it away from the conferences 731 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 8: negotiating with TV networks, and it would be the entire 732 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 8: pool of teams that you would be negotiating with through 733 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 8: the TV rights, which I mean one would be cumbersome. 734 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 8: It would create obviously greater access, you could get more 735 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 8: you know, streaming service and so forth plugged into all this, 736 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 8: but it would be very, very difficult to manage. It 737 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 8: would probably raise the price and the cost of a 738 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 8: lot of those media rights which would get pass along 739 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 8: to the consumer to you. But again this is quote 740 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 8: unquote in an effort to you know, help these schools 741 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 8: increase their revenue to offset for what for their labor, 742 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 8: which is the student athletes now because they have to 743 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 8: pay them. 744 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 2: So again, we don't have time for it. 745 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 8: It's a long winded conversation, but this is this news 746 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 8: is coming at a really really interesting time because it 747 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 8: almost throws right back in the. 748 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,959 Speaker 2: Face of what Cody Campbell's saying. 749 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 8: Is that you know that they need to change the 750 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 8: Sports Broadcast Casting Act, which I don't know that many 751 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 8: people want to go back before that period of time, 752 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 8: not only one because it was harder to watch games 753 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 8: back then, but two, you know, it almost caps if 754 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 8: you think about it, like what some of these players 755 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 8: could be paid because some of the schools aren't going 756 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 8: to make out as well, like Rutgers is able to 757 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 8: compete in somewhat of a competitive manner because they are 758 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 8: getting a piece of what the TV meter ats deal 759 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,959 Speaker 8: is from the Big Ten. If you take that away, 760 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 8: they're probably not getting as big as a piece. So 761 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 8: those players are going to make as much, they'll be 762 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 8: greater disparity. There's a lot of like cause and effect 763 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 8: for what could happen if they do, indeed try to appear. 764 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 2: Or chase the Sports Broadcasting Act. 765 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: You know what would make this conversation better? What throwing 766 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: a little hot sauce on it, especially if it's original 767 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: Louisiana hot sauce. By the way, because this is a 768 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,919 Speaker 1: hot and spicy topic, what better than to do a hot, 769 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: spicy edition of some hot sauce that has the perfect 770 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: balance of Pepper's, vinegar and salt. Not only this topic, 771 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: but you could put it on your wings, your nachos, 772 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: your burgers, even Jonas's clam chowder. That's right, hit any 773 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: Tailgate food, you can hit any food you want, that bold, 774 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: handcrafted flavor of the original Louisiana hot sauce that's Louisiana hot. 775 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: You gonna want to use it. 776 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 2: So you need to buy you some. 777 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 4: It is a two Pros and a Cup of Joe 778 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 4: here at Fox Sports Radio.

Well, 804 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 10: he was at least a feature Kay Sanatt, who is 805 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 10: a very viral streamer right now, he reached one million viewers, 806 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 10: so he had Lebron come on his show. Lebron not 807 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 10: only gave a very inspirational speech that was almost two 808 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 10: and a half minutes long to all of his followers, 809 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 10: he also gave Kaysanat a haircut, so now Lebron is 810 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 10: le barber.

Coop, my wrong, He's the future. Luca 822 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 5: is the future. 823 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: But why do you hate noning?
