Heard from a lot 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: of people interested in sitting in that chair, and I said, 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: come on, the body's not even cold yet. Body's still alive. 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: You're seated right there. I can't replace you, I mean 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: not now. Yeah, mclub. I got notes from former co 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: workers of all of ours. They be like, oh man, congrats, congrats, 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: So exactly what day are you leaving? I'm like, wait, 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: why do you have to ask? You're gonna be missed, 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. I just didn't know that you would 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: have to leave for us to miss you. But we're 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: gonna find that out. We're gonna find out how much 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: we miss you. But you know, we have a big 16 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: roll out here.

And I have a bet with Fritzie. Fritzie 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: thinks I cry at everything, which I do. You're a 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: very emotional person. I respect that about you. But if 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't cry when mcloven leaves you think that that 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: says something negative about me. That's my way. I'm hoping 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: I don't get a pie in the face that you're 24 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: in a no win situation. You either have to cry 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: and I where nor if you don't cry, you look 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: like you're insensitive and somewhere. Yes, mclemn, but three weeks 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: of this goodbye topic, it's gonna be so old by that. Yes, 28 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: it will. That's why I'll get so tired. I could 29 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: have on Friday got a little emotional with mclovin, just 30 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: because the audience seemed to embrace mclovin. Who would have thought? 31 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: And I thought, wow, mclovin has really made an impact 32 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: in twelve years here with this audience. And then I 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: started to get a little misty eyed, taking a trip 34 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: down memory lane. But yeah, that'll be done. That's probably done. 35 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: It's probably done mine today, you know, all right?

So we 43 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: started off with who is the more evil genius? Bill Belichicker, 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: Nick Saban? Like you said sixty two, said Saban, which 45 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: I would have agreed with. Couple couple options, Paul said, 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: out some stats about Gardner Minshew's career, Shark. If you're 47 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles, do you go back to Jalen Hurts after 48 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: the buye or do you start Gardner Minshew? I like 49 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew a lot. Do I think he's a better 50 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: quarterback than Jalen Hurts? Yes? Do I think Jalen Hurts 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: is more of a weapon at that position? I do 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. If you look at what he's done, he 53 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: started twenty one games in his career, first twenty one 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: career starts it. Let let me compare him to Dak Prescott. 55 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: Would you say that's fair to compare into Dak Prescott? No, okay, 56 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: but I'm going to Dak Prescott has started twenty his 57 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: first twenty one games, where he start twenty two starts here, 58 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: he has thrown for five thousand in almost fifty one 59 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: hundred yards. Gardner Minshew has started one fewer games. He 60 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: has fifty one almost fifty two hundred yards. Now he's 61 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: playing for Jacksonville. Keep in mind he has thirty five touchdowns, 62 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: nine interceptions. Dak Prescott has thirty seven touchdowns, eight interceptions. 63 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: That's through twenty two career starts for Dak Prescott, twenty 64 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: one for Gardner Minshew. Minshew is good and he did 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: it with Jacksonville. And I thought he looked really good yesterday. 66 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: By the way, did you see the outfit that he 67 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: showed up? You know, it was a top gun feel 68 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: because it felt like it was an actor who was 69 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: playing Gardner Minshew. Like once they get to the made 70 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: for TV movie, it looked like they already had the 71 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: actor to Playner Minshew. But he looked good, He looked comfortable, 72 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: he's not afraid. Yeah, Paul, I think you nailed it. 73 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: They're the actor thing we look at. I think people 74 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: look at Gardner Minshew as an entertaining person who happens 75 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: to play in the NFL, not as a possible starting 76 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: quarterback for a franchise. He's twenty five, he doesn't cost 77 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: any money. Why isn't he being looked at as a 78 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: possible starter. It's weird, isn't it. I thought that they 79 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: were going to have Gardner Minshew play start out in 80 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and then he's Trevor Lawrence in. You know, obviously 81 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: they thought, you know, why have him go out there. 82 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: If he performs well, then can you bring Trevor Lawrence 83 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: in or whatever the drama would have been. But I 84 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: thought there's a couple of teams that should have reached 85 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: out to Gardner Minshew. I think he can play. I 86 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: think we get caught up in how somebody presents themselves 87 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: or how they look. He looks like he's a character, 88 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: and I think that that's very deceiving when it comes 89 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: to Gardner Minshew. You know, he's the second coming of 90 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. He's not. But I do think he's a 91 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: good quarterback. Yeah. McLuhan, is it possibly heidis him because 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: he's not. Remember he was in in the Super Bowl Miami. 93 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: He came in. He was kind of a normal size guy, 94 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: six round pick you know how people pigeonhole quarterbacks like that. Okay, 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: but he's taller than Russell. He's taller than two uh 96 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: taller than Kyler, taller than Baker. I don't know. I 97 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: think that that we've gotten caught up in that you've 98 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: got to be a certain size to play quarterback, and 99 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: we've seen that it costs teams dearly when they go nope, 100 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: we want the guy who's six to four, Well, that 101 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: guy who's six feet Drew Brees, he's not gonna be 102 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: able to see over his own offensive lineman. And then 103 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand passing yards later, quarterbacking issue with the Steelers. 104 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 1: I guess that it was reported by the Mothership that 105 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger is going to retire at the end of 106 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: the year. I don't know if it was a report, 107 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: just felt like it is a compilation of opinions. Here 108 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: here's Ben Roethlisberger asking about if this is it. Honestly, 109 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: we just got done with this game. I'm exhausted. That's 110 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: my focus. My focus is on Minnesota and what we 111 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: have to do to get ready. I'll dress that stuff 112 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: after the season. I've always been a one game at 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: a time, one season at a time person. I'm gonna 114 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: stay that well. Mike Tomlin thought it was funny. I 115 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: don't I don't know what was you know where the 116 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: humor came from? Unless it's like, where did this come from? 117 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: Because does it feel like this is it for Ben? 118 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: It does? But I don't know if Ben goes you know, 119 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: I've made my decision with five games left now I'm 120 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: going to retire. What if they do well? What if 121 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: he does well? So I don't know if it's one 122 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: of those where you go, yeah, now, this will be now. 123 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: But it surprised me that Ben retired. No would surprise 124 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: me if he came back for another season.

We've talked a lot 129 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: of college football. We'll talk to the Notre Dame head 130 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: coach Marcus Freeman O join us. Coming up at about 131 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Carson Palmer will also stopped by Alabama handled 132 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: Georgia since he rolls Houston, Michigan all over Iowa. The 133 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: final four is set. Certainly a lot of people rooting 134 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: for Notre Dame just to get in, basically to stick 135 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: at to Brian Kelly, like you left and your team 136 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: is going to be in the final four, but you're 137 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: going to have some interesting matchups with Alabama against Cincinnati, 138 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: Georgia against Michigan. If I would have said at the 139 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, you're going to have two teams 140 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: in the final four that you're not going to expect, 141 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have two teams that you are going 142 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: to expect. Alabama would be certainly one of those and 143 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: Georgia probably with Clemson, would be the other one as well. 144 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Michigan a pleasant surprise in my opinion, and Cincinnati gets 145 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: in since you know, they did everything that you asked 146 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: them to do. But you know what's really the key 147 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: with all of this, Cincinnati was really good last year 148 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: and you need a little momentum here because Boise State 149 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: always needed a little momentum. When you saw the story, 150 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: you went, all right, It's like Gonzaga basketball, where you go, man, 151 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: after a while, Gonzaga is up there with the you know, 152 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: the Power five schools, but you have to work your 153 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: way up, and that's what Cincinnati has been doing when 154 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly was there. Now with Luke Fickle there, they 155 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: went toe to toe with Georgia last year in a 156 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: bowl game and easily could have won that game, probably 157 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: should have won that game. Then you know, you catch 158 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: people's attention. Sometimes sometimes we look past a bowl game 159 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, it's a bowl game. Georgia probably 160 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: didn't care. Cincinnati cared more. That's what I keep hearing. Whatever, 161 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: they went toe to toe and now Cincinnati building off 162 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: of that. So it's not a surprise this year where 163 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: you go, who's Cincinnati got or who's their coach? Now 164 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: that coach gets mentioned for NFL jobs, maybe USC's job 165 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: he was mentioned for. They've got probably three players on 166 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball are going to play 167 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Desmond Ritter, you know, might be a 168 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: quarterback on Sundays in the NFL. They have talent there. 169 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: But you had to have a little bit of a 170 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: build up here, and Cincinnati did that. Did I think 171 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: Houston could beat them? No, but I thought that they 172 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: could certainly make it interesting for him, and they did 173 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: in the first town. But Cincinnati was the better team. 174 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: And now you get that matchup with Alabama against Cincinnati. 175 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: Whatever happens here, if Cincinnati gets blown out, I don't 176 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: want to hear, Oh, they never should have been in there. Okay, 177 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: that they do what you're asking them to do. They 178 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: can't do anything more. A lot of these schools aren't 179 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: going to go to Cincinnati to play Cincinnati. Cincinnati can 180 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: only That's why Cincinnati went to Notre Dame. Is Notre 181 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: Dame going to Cincinnati? I mean, I would hope they would, 182 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: but you know Cincinnati's doing. That's why when we expand 183 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs, you're gonna have a couple of these teams. 184 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: But I think that the committee, I don't know this, 185 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: but I have a good strong inkling they were hoping 186 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State could get in there, or Notre Dame could 187 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: get in there. It comes down to how many people 188 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: are gonna watch this. Are you gonna be all in? 189 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: You'll be all in on Georgia and Michigan. You're gonna 190 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: be all in on Cincinnati against Alabama. If it's close, 191 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: that might be one of those games you tune in 192 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half and you go, 193 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: what's Alabama by seven? Okay, I'll stick around for this. 194 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: Or Cincinnati happens to be out by three at half time, 195 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: whatever it is is, you know we're gonna have a 196 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: referendum on the teams that aren't Power five brokers. And 197 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: that's not fair because Cincinnati did what you asked them 198 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: to do, everything you asked them to do. It's everybody 199 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: else felt of the wayside. If Notre Dame doesn't lose 200 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, Notre Dame is in the Final four. And 201 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: because of that, Brian Kelly I don't know if he 202 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: could have left Notre Dame if they were firmly cemented 203 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: in the final four, or he would have had to 204 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: make LSU wait Like that win is so important because 205 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: it got Cincinnati into the Final four and Brian Kelly's 206 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: now at LSU working on his accent. Yeah, point, you're 207 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: right about Cincinnati. With the preseason poles at the AP 208 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: top twenty five on August thirty first Alabama number one, 209 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: Georgia was five, Cincinnati was eight to start the season, 210 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: so they didn't have that far to go. Yeah, not 211 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: like the last season. Michigan was unranked to start the season. 212 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: Anybody who thought the college football playoff field was getting 213 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: too repetitive this year, you know, it's a legitimate shakeup 214 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: when you think about it. With no Clomano, Ohio State, 215 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: no Clemson. You know, George is not a dark horse. 216 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: Neither is Alabama. But Michigan Jim Harball Final four is 217 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And last year at this time 218 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: we were watching Trevor Lawrence battle Justin Fields, Mac Jones 219 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: against Ian Book at Notre Dame, and the Crimson Tide 220 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: have the Heisman winner in Bryce Young. Georgia has an 221 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: impressive defense, or at least it had been. Michigan has 222 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: a great offensive and defensive line. Aiden Hutchinson has been 223 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: great defensive in Cincinnati, got a quality quarterback, You've got 224 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: a good head coach, tough defense. This doesn't really bode 225 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: well for shootouts probably, but it's gonna be fun. It'll 226 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: be competitive. A little bit of change there. Here is 227 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,479 Speaker 1: Nick Saban after the win and thanking us in the media. 228 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: You guys gave us a lot of really positive rat poison. 229 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: The rat poison that you usually give us is usually fatal, 230 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: but the rat poison that you put out there this 231 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: week it was yummy. I have no idea what that means. 232 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: Yummy rat poison. You know, the coaches look for, you know, 233 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: a lot of different ways to motivate their team. And 234 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: he probably said, now if everybody was falling all over 235 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: Alabama and said, you know, coach Saban's greatest coach of 236 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: all time, and these players, they're got more talent. They're 237 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: gonna blow out Georgia. Then there's no rat poison there. 238 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: But I think doubting Alabama, doubting that quarterback in Bryce Young, 239 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: doubting Nick Saban in a big game against one of 240 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: his former assistants. That's where you go, Wait, what are 241 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: they saying? All right, I'll use that and get some motivation. 242 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: I mean, what if you got a rolodex here of Now, 243 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: what do I say to my play? If you're Nick Saban, 244 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: how many ways can you actually get your team fired 245 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: up that they're gonna go? Yeah. Dan Campbell with the 246 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, he can do that. Nick Saban's been doing 247 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: this for forty years. It's like, let me see, what's 248 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: a rat poison? Haven't used that in a while? All right, 249 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: yellmy rat poison? All right? Yeah? Did Nick Saban in 250 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: Alabama just pull that? Nobody believed in us, all the 251 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: doubters and the haters, sort, how can you be the 252 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: biggest heavyweight in the world and pull the Our backs 253 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: were against the wall as long as you can convince 254 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: your players that for five days, that's it.

Dan, Uh, what a great moment for 301 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: me personally but hopefully for our team. And uh, it 302 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 1: was a chance to embrace those guys in to uh 303 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: let them know that this isn't about a speech, This 304 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: isn't about you know, a statement, This is about me 305 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: being around my players. And uh, it was an awesome moment. 306 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: When did you get the job? When did you find 307 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: out you were going to be offered the head coaching job? Uh? 308 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: I think I knew maybe two days before. I wasn't 309 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: officially offered the job until that Thursday. I think it's 310 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: it's all running together. I'm trying to figure this out. 311 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: Did Brian Kelly ask you if he wanted to go 312 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: to LSU? He did it. He did it, And what 313 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: did you say? I said, Um, I need a job. 314 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: So I said, yeah, let me talk to my wife. 315 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: And that's that's the first thing I said. I said, absolutely, 316 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: I said let me talk to my wife. And that 317 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: gave me time to kind of figure this whole thing out. 318 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: And it all had been extremely fast after that. But 319 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: when do you realize how high highly you're thought of 320 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: it Notre Dame? Because here's Brian thinking, hey, I can 321 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: probably steal the defensive coordinator and men maybe even uh 322 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: you know Tommy reached the offensive coordinator at LSU. Yeah, 323 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: I'm sure that was in his thought process when he 324 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: took the job. But you know, when I started to 325 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: get calls from from our athletic director and I start 326 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: to get text message and people reaching out that are 327 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: highly regarded around Notre Dame, I realize, oh, this might 328 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: be pretty real, and so I put the holds on 329 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: and going anywhere, and I said, let's let's see what 330 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: happens here at Notre Dame. Okay, so you talked to 331 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: your wife, you bounced around. I think you were ken 332 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: State produced Cincinnati, now Notre Dame. I mean, it's a 333 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: tough life. You're only but going to be thirty six, 334 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: you got six kids, like you know, you're talking to 335 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: your wife. What's that conversation like of this this might 336 00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: be happening. It's surreal. We you know, it's like, are 337 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: are we sure? And then every moment, you know, it 338 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: was like every minute seemed like an hour. And I 339 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: remember on Tuesday, I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday, 340 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: I can't remember what day it was, but I was 341 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: sitting at home waiting for the athletic director to call 342 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: me and tell me we're going to meet somewhere to talk. 343 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: And I remember just sitting there saying, I can't do it. 344 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: So I can't sit at home anymore. I'm going on 345 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: road recruiting. And I got my car and I just 346 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: started driving to Michigan to go to go see a kid, 347 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he calls me and says, hey, 348 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: we'll meet this afternoon. And I just stopped right in 349 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: the middle of highway, turned around and started heading back 350 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 1: to South Bend. And it's a weird week. I mean, 351 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: it's a weird business that you're in. Yeah, it's like 352 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: if I told you two years ago, you know, by 353 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: the way, you're gonna be a head coach at Notre Dame. 354 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: No way, what I thought that was gonna happen. You know, 355 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: I knew at some point in my career I was 356 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: going to be a head coach. You know, that was 357 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: the path I was on. I did not think it 358 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: would be this year at the Universe in Notre Dame. 359 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: But but you know, what a great opportunity. And that's 360 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: what I keep telling myself. You're fortunate to get this opportunity. Now, 361 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: let's not screw it up. Let's do everything in your 362 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: power to make sure that you do everything to get 363 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: these kids ready to have success. And it starts with 364 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: the people, and it starts with giving them your heart, 365 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: and that's what I plan on doing. But I would 366 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: have send that video out to every recruit coach when 367 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: your players reacted the way they did, and I just 368 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: would have said, are you curious why these players love 369 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: this man this much? Come to South Bend and find 370 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: out we put it out on social media. I don't 371 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: know if we've done that send it to all the recruits, 372 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: but you just gave me a great idea, And as 373 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: soon as we're done with this session, I'll make sure 374 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: that happens. Last time you talk to Brian Kelly was 375 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: when on the phone Monday, and then he texts me 376 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: after I was named head coach and he told me, congratulations, 377 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: What was it like yesterday watching or Saturday watching the 378 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: football with the possibility that maybe you were going to 379 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: slip into the final four? Who were you rooting for 380 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: or against? Coach Well, I was obviously, uh, you know, 381 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: we knew there was a scenario where four things. Two 382 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: of the four things had to happen, and you know, 383 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: and finally I got a chance to just turn on 384 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: the TV in the fourth quarter of the Oklahoma State 385 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: game and you know, I saw the very end of 386 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: that game and that was one one of the four, 387 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, And then I could not root against Cincinnati. 388 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: You know, those are kids that I helped recruit even 389 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: if you could get into if I couldn't do it, No, 390 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. You know those kids, those are 391 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: kids that you love, Those are kids you recruit, those 392 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: are kids you grow with. And uh, Coach Fickle was 393 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: obviously he was my college position coach and somebody that 394 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: gave me opportunity to be the first to be the 395 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: deepest coordinator for the first time. And so I was 396 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: rooting like heck for those that program for him. And 397 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: those kids, and they won, and so then we're obviously 398 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: you were hoping and that somehow, you know, either an 399 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: SEC game or the Big Ten championship, it will go 400 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: our way. And it didn't. But you know, we control 401 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: what we can control. And that's what I've told this group, 402 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: and that's what I'm telling myself, is what a great 403 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: opportunity we have on January first to play Oklahoma State 404 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: and Festible. Ryan Kelly talked about the hurdles limitations of 405 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: recruiting at Notre Dame. How limiting is that or what 406 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: is the biggest challenge that you're going to face in 407 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: getting players you know, to fit into Notre Dame, be 408 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: able to get into Notre Dame, or the biggest challenges 409 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: to be able to clearly communicate what makes Notre Dame special. 410 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: And that's to me, what I've tried to do since 411 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: I've sat in this chair is that, hey, there are 412 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: so many things that Notre Dame can offer a young 413 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: man that will help him be successful in the rest 414 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: of his life. If you want a chance to win 415 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: a national championship, well, there's certain schools that give you 416 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: the opportunity to do that. Notre Dame being one. If 417 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: you want to as to really set yourself up for 418 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: the rest of your life by earning a degree from 419 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, then you can do that here. And what 420 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: you gotta do is you've got to find a way 421 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: to get that young person to see life after football. 422 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: But if it's all about national championship, great Notre Dame 423 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: could be in a contention. Let's talk about it. We've 424 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: been in the playoffs two our past three years. But 425 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: if you can get that young person to see the 426 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: minute they're done playing, that's when Notre Dame has a 427 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: great opportunity to get them. What's in your office there? Well, 428 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: I'm in the staff room. There's a couple of pictures 429 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: on the wall. Do you but do you have did 430 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: you take over Brian's office? Are you going to redecorate 431 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: at some point? I think I'll move over there. Right now, 432 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm in my corner office, and I keep telling myself 433 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: this is a reminder where you're at, what you've done 434 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: to get to this point. I don't need a big 435 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: office right now. I need to get to work, and 436 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing. How did you end up at 437 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: Ohio State? I was from Ohio and you're from Dayton, 438 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: right from Dayton, Ohio. Yeah. And I grew up an 439 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State fan. You know, my dad was from Columbus, Ohio. 440 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: I grew up watching Ohio State. And when Jim trust 441 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: Will offered me a scholarship to Ohio State, I knew 442 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: in my heart that's where I wanted to go. I 443 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: not recruit you, Marcus Yep, yep. I came down to 444 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: actually Ohio State Notre Dame, and uh, um, I really 445 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: liked Tyrone Willingham, who was the head coach at that time, 446 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: and so ultimately I chose Ohio State. And I told 447 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: our ad, I said, I don't want to I don't 448 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: want to make the same mistake twice. Well done, Well done. 449 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: Are you gonna schedule l An Shoe? Um, I'll leave 450 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: that up to Jack Spoolber. But listen, we I mean 451 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame, you will, You'll play anybody and uh, 452 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: but I'll let him make that decision. Do you realize 453 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: Cincinnati beating Notre Dame is the reason why Cincinnati is 454 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: gonna play in the Final four. That's crazy, it's crazy, 455 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: it sounds yeah, man, that's the reason. And uh, as 456 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: much as you wanted to win that one. You know, 457 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: if you could choose one team or one group of 458 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: individuals to lose to, it's it's that group because I 459 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: know the work they've put in, and you know, I'm 460 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: gonna be rooting like heck for him when they play Alabama. Coach, congratulations, 461 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: good luck and we'll stay in touch. Thanks. Then I 462 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: appreciate it. It's Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame's new head football coach. 463 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: I love that video when he walks into the weight 464 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: room and he's being introduced by the strength and conditioning 465 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: coach and you just heard those players, and you know 466 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: what helped those players went to bad form. Some of 467 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: the guys who were going to be leaving, going graduating 468 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: or going into the NFL, they went to bad form. 469 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: But I do think it was really important that Tommy 470 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: Reese stayed as the offensive coordinator. You got a package 471 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: deal there, and I think what happened was Notre Dame 472 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: put on the full court press when they knew Brian 473 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: Kelly was going to ask both of those coordinators to 474 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: come to alash Hue and Notre Dame. I think you 475 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: know what we got. We gotta ramp the US up, 476 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: and I think that that was where both of these 477 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: guys had to consider going to LSU and Notre Dame 478 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: was we can keep our defensive coordinator. We just elevate 479 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: him to head coach and we can keep our offensive coordinator. 480 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: Continuity was really really important. It was good. It was 481 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: fun to talk to. Imagine that you're driving like you 482 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: get nervous, you're just waiting. I got I can't sit 483 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: here at home. You start d driving and you're gonna 484 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: go recruit somebody, and then all of a sudden, hey, 485 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: let's talk this afternoon. Do the you turn and head back? 486 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: All right?

It was nice to see the Detroit Lions 490 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: finally pulled through and when Jeff and Detroit way to 491 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: go for him. And also so the worst the weekend 492 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: definitely for me. Ravens and Steelers. I mean, I am 493 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: one hundred percent all about that last call. I mean, 494 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: I understand justin Tucker, he's a sure thing, Like Morgan, 495 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: do you have to answer that call? No, It's okay, okay, 496 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: it's another line. It's another line. Hopefully you don't do 497 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: anything really important. Where are you? Somebody's waiting to talk 498 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: to somebody on the other end. Well, well, no, I 499 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: the company I worked for, we work hand in hand 500 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: with another one, so it was another line for that company. Yeah, okay, 501 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: but m yeah, I mean I'm all about that call. 502 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: But even worse is that my husband as a Steelers fan, 503 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: so I have to live with him after all this anyway, 504 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,239 Speaker 1: So I mean, it's it's just until we played them 505 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: again and hopefully come through with the wind. But I 506 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: think that Andrews. I mean, I wouldn't blame it on 507 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: Andrews either, because how many big catches have you had 508 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: and just come through for us? So you know, it's 509 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: a sad loss. But I mean, we'll get him next time. 510 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: All right, Call back again, Morgan. Great to hear from you. 511 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: Jeremy and Alabama. Hey, Jeremy. Best and worst of the weekend. 512 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: My best is, of course, being from Alabama. I love 513 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: the game championship game Saturday nights, proud of glad to 514 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: see Alabama win it. My worst of the weekend is 515 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: the fake slide for the Pittsburgh quarterback I've print in 516 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: my mind. I'm thinking, isn't that supposed to be uh 517 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: down where he initiates the slide, And he was initiating 518 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: a slide in the beginning, so easily, very easily, that 519 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: call could have been went very wrong for Pittsburgh in 520 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: that quarterback and my very best of the year. Mclovin 521 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: is leaving and going to the radio show, and all 522 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: jokes aside, congratulations mclovin, lad, glad you're going on and 523 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: doing better. I've talked about my three favorite Danetts and 524 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: that's always been a rib towards you, buddy, but a 525 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: congratulations are on any job? Is he was it his 526 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: very best of the year that you're leaving? Yeah? Wait, 527 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: three favorite day, Yes, and I don't think you're one 528 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, that would seem a little backhander, but 529 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: I appreciate you appreciate it. I don't know. It could 530 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: have been worse. That's how I'll take it. Kenny picket 531 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: Pits quarterback who's going to be a first round pick 532 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: in the title game. In the acc it looked like 533 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: he was going to slide. He's about thirty yards down field. 534 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: He was going to give himself up and he went 535 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: into a almost fake slide and then popped up and 536 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: headed to the end zone. You know, the defensive backs 537 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: they paused for a moment. Then he had enough athleticism 538 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: that he was able to outrun everybody. I was okay 539 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 1: with it. Now, the first time he gets hit in 540 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: the NFL where he you know, slides a little late 541 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: and then somebody hits him, then somebody will say, oh, 542 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: that's karma. I thought, it's like Dan Marino when Dan 543 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: Marino had the fake spike against the Jets and then 544 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: he threw a touchdown pass and then you had people 545 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: say you can't do that. Yeah you can. Like you're 546 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: trying whatever you can to win. Is he gonna get 547 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: popped one time? Yes he is, But in that moment 548 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: that was an unbelievable play. Yes, he b b flat outs. 549 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. How much more difficult can you make it 550 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: for the defense? Good grief? Yes, pa, I see what 551 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: Seaton's saying. The slide is like an agreement between the quarterback, 552 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: the rafts, and the defenders. Yeah, like I start the slide, 553 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: you let up, they call the play down. We've agreed 554 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: upon this. Maybe if you ever do a fake slide, 555 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: you don't get any quarterback protection for the rest of 556 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: that game. Like Kenny Pickett can't slide anymore, he could 557 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: the slide and be hit. Yes, Todd to seeing his point. 558 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: You know, as far as the comparison to what Marino did, 559 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: they're trying to protect the quarterback in that situation. There's 560 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: nothing to do with protecting the quarterback. They just got 561 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: tricked into thinking of that. He was just going to 562 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: throw it into the ground. So I can understand the 563 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: sensitivia that if he's kind of giving himself up, or 564 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: looks as if he's giving himself up, you know, maybe 565 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: that's a welcome that they had to look at. So 566 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: what side are you on? I am on the side 567 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: of that. I think that it was that was kind 568 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: of bus also that if he's kind of in a 569 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: half slide situation, then maybe he should they should. I 570 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: could understand why everybody kind of stopped there thinking he 571 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: was giving himself up to protect the orderment. It seemed 572 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: pretty clear he's on my side. I don't know he's 573 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: on all side. I don't know what's You're on both sides? Yeah, 574 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: you somehow are on three sides. I can make both arguments, 575 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: and that third argument. Yeah, Alan Atlanta, Hi, Alan, what's 576 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: on your mind today? Morning man? Morning up. Best of 577 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: the weekend definitely the winning game ball going to the 578 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: Oxford community in Michigan. That was definitely a top notch 579 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: thing for the head coach opiece Lions to do. Yeah, 580 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend was Friday, slept through half 581 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: the show, wake up to find out mcglovan's leaving and 582 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: taking away my chance and getting back him in a 583 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: shower of shame bet like they just ruined a whole weekend, 584 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: Just like forget about Georgia and Salcon leaving, like mcglovian leaving. 585 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: That was that the loss that stuck with me harder, right, 586 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: Thank you all. I think Al is gonna miss you, 587 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: nic Globin. I also have like ten outstanding bets that 588 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: I can't even follow. We have this Twitter feed to 589 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: keep track. We all have like five bets yeah on 590 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: the books. Yeah, well I have one that Fritzie is 591 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: betting that I cry on your final day and there's 592 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: a pie to the face that stake here. Are you 593 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna what other bets do you have to kind of 594 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: clean up here in mcloban before you leave? Paul and 595 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: I have a draft bet about the first quarterback taken. 596 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: I think both of us are going to be wrong 597 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: on that one. Maybe there's the Jeff Detroit whether I 598 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: have to walk to Detroit. Yeah, that's not happened. Yeah, 599 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: and you made me take one the other day. I 600 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: can't remember it. I'll look at the bet board. You know, 601 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: when you're thinking about a name for a quarterback, Picket 602 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: is probably not great. Or a kicker named blew It. 603 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: Didn't Pittsburgh have blew It as their kicker and pick 604 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: It as their quarterback? Aren't you just waiting for turnovers there? Yes? 605 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: Remember that guy Steve in decisive Florida State seventy seven. 606 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: You really loved him? Yeah, Tommy wide left, Yeah, Tim fumble, Yes, 607 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: m I found the beat. I have a bet with Fritzie. 608 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: He Fritzie said, Trevor Lawrence will be bench for a 609 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: performance by the end of the year. Hmm. And Fritzie, 610 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: if he's not bench, has to take a pie in 611 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: the face. That part of our hot take, uh scenario? Yeah, 612 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: I believe it was. Yeah, but I don't. We're their 613 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: pies to the face at steak where no, it's just 614 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: hot takes. You were going to credit one of us 615 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: for the hottest steak of I think I said. I 616 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: think I said that Packers would win at least sixteen 617 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: games or something like that. But Fritzie had it all 618 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: mapped out with Trevor Lawrence. There was a game against 619 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: Detroit or the Bengals, and he was just gonna get 620 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: so frustrated Urban Meyer with him that by like a 621 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: week six or seven, and he was gonna happen kick 622 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: a seat. If the Broncos don't make the playoffs, Fritzie 623 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: has to cook on some meal on Meat Friday and 624 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: hopefully everyone will still survive that. Yeah, Miami has fired 625 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: Manny Diaz, So I'm gonna guess Mario Crista Ball is 626 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: waiting in the on deck circle Oregon head coach, unless 627 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna go, hey, what do you want to offer 628 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: me to stay? Because that story has been lingering here 629 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: for a while. We knew Manny Diaz was on the 630 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: hot seat at the U, but Crista Ball and I 631 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: think people ask him, reporters ask him, He's like, no, no, 632 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: there's nothing nothing going on there, and maybe you get 633 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: something better at Oregon or I know it sounds like 634 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: a wild card but I don't think it is. If 635 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly were to be welcome back at Oregon, I 636 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: think he's got one year left at UCLA, could you 637 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 1: guys check. I think from what I was told chip 638 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: Kelly next month, if he decides to leave, there's no 639 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: buyout that nobody owes anybody anything, and it would be 640 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 1: just a clean break. In fact, let's take a break. 641 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: But I want to make sure I got that right. 642 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: I don't want, you know, that kind of throw it 643 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: out there and be vague, but I do think that 644 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: that's that might be the language there with Chip Kelly 645 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: with his contract at UCLA. All Right, we'll take a 646 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: break back after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan 647 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: Patrick Show podcast.

I don't know. I don't want to 663 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: start the Chip Kelly to Oregon if Mario crystal Ball 664 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: takes the job at the you It is just a 665 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: thought thinking out loud here wondering what Chip Kelly's contract 666 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: status is. I think in a month, chip Kelly would 667 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: be okay. Let me see if I have this right. 668 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: According to the LA Times, chip Kelly's contract buyout is 669 00:36:53,440 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: nine million dollars. He's owed that through January fifteenth. After 670 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: that there's no BUYO be easier to hire him now. 671 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if Oregon would want chip Kelly. I 672 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: was just thinking out loud that maybe chip Kelly would 673 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: go back there. Why don't reach out to John Kinzano. 674 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: He only seems to know what's going on. There that 675 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: stirred our buddy. Yeah. Yeah, the club is Oregon. One 676 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: of those top level jobs. Feels pretty yes, pretty good. 677 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: Hell well, UCLA is, even though they blew out USC. 678 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: I don't expect USC to be in that shape anytime soon. Again, 679 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, if you're Mario Crystal Ball, do you 680 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: want the Miami job or the Oregon job, because I 681 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: would want to, you know, stay at Oregon. You go 682 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: to the U. I know he played there, but and 683 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: Miami has fired their head coach, Manny Diaz. I think 684 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: Manny was out recruiting yesterday, two days ago. He's out recruiting. 685 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: It's got to be weird. Like Chip Kelly or Brian 686 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 1: Kelly was out recruiting in Orange County and he's there 687 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: with his offensive coordinator, Tommy Reese, and then all of 688 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: a sudden gets on the plane with his attorney and 689 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 1: Tommy Reese stays in Orange County and has to take 690 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: the commercial plane back to South ben because Brian Kelly 691 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 1: is realizing he's going to be the next head coach 692 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: at Allen Shoes. So you go in to recruits house 693 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: knowing there's a possibility that you're going to be the 694 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: next head coach. But the recruiting window here, it's so important. 695 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: And this is what Rick Neuheisel had to say last week. 696 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: He said, why can't we move it another week? Can 697 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 1: we change the recruiting period here, because then you could 698 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 1: have coaches who could complete what they started with their team, 699 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: or finish the regular season or a conference championship game 700 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: might not be there for the old game. But you know, 701 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: I think that's what you know, That's what Rick new 702 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 1: Heiser was pointing out. Yeah, pulling a bunch of different 703 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: reports at University of Miami is preparing to throw eight 704 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: million dollars a year at Mario crystal Ball, and it's 705 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: nine million dollars to buy him out of his organ deal. 706 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: Gavin in Arizona, Hey Gavin, thanks for holding what's on 707 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: your mind. Best and worst of the weekend. Good morning 708 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: Dan and the dan Nettes. My best of the weekend 709 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: is Gardner Minshew twenty for twenty five, two hundred and 710 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: forty two yards and two touchdowns. Yeah, looking like a starter. 711 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: And then my worst of the weekend is copying Carson 712 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: Palmer doing a five team screamer and losing it on 713 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: the last play in Minnesota. And Detroit a five teams screamer, 714 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: the Carson Palmer five teams screamer. I'm sorry about that, GAF. 715 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what the Minnesota defensive backs were doing. Like, 716 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 1: we're not gonna let you catch a touchdown six yards 717 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: into the end zone, but if you want to catch 718 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: one three yards into the end zone, we'll let you 719 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: out of that. How do you play prevent defense? You 720 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: know it? Let me see if I have these numbers 721 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: on the Vikings. This is this is stuff that gets 722 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: coaches fire. Let me see if I have this for you. 723 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: The Lions extended their lead with two field goals in 724 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: the final two minutes of the first half. Minnesota has 725 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: allowed an average of six points per game in the 726 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: final two minutes of the first half of this season, 727 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: most by any team in twenty one years. Vikings have 728 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: allowed seventy two points in the final two minutes of 729 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: the first half, fifth most by any team since two thousand. 730 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: They can't close you out. They have five games left 731 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: to chase down the record which was by the twenty 732 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: twenty Minnesota Vikings. They allow you to stay in the game. 733 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: There have been twenty six games to iided by a 734 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: game winning score on the final play of the season. 735 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: That's the most through thirteen weeks of an NFL season 736 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,919 Speaker 1: in history. Let's see what else do we have here, 737 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: Kevin and North Carolina will get to our best and 738 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: worst of the weekend as a good segue, because my 739 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: worst is the Vikings forty six forty six years I 740 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 1: pulled for this team, and Zimmer's got to go. That's 741 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: the first time I said that I'm not a fire Zimmer, 742 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: fire the coach, and Cousins trash because I think Cousins 743 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: is wasting his best years with us. He really is. 744 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,240 Speaker 1: And the best of the weekend is also my Vikings. 745 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: Thank you for putting all my hopes and dreams and 746 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: put them to rest early this year so I can 747 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: enjoy my holiday.

Perhaps that 759 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: one time he gets it.
