Tons 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.679 of items available at dan patrick dot com. Sportique a 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.880 great clothing line that we've partnered with. There usually by 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.679 this point of the season, super Bowl favorites have emerged, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.720 and the NFC it seems like we have a couple 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.440 of good candidates. You got the Buccaneers, you got the Packers. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.520 Cardinal's got to throw them in. AFC is a little 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.319 less clear. You got four teams tied at eight and four. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.240 You got Chiefs, Titans, Patriots, Ravens all eight and four. 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.640 Bill's face New England tonight right behind them at seven 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.840 and four. I don't know if anybody's been consistently good, 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.360 very good, excellent this season. The key for them is 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.520 you got to get hot at the right time, and 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.880 you also have to stay healthy or get healthier. The 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.120 Patriots and Bills tonight is big, and everyone has to 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.480 notice how well the Chiefs defense is playing after a 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.360 slow start to the season, Like you can focus on, hey, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.600 that defense is getting a whole lot better, or you 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.920 can go I don't know about that offense because normally 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.120 when we think Kansas City, you don't bring up their 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.880 defense unless it's one or two plays that are made 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.600 to say win a Super Bowl. Getting to the top 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.360 spot is so important this year because only the number 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.360 one seed gets a buy and you have an even 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.720 playing field now, so playing one last game in a 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.160 seventeen game regular season is big. So the next five 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.040 weeks are going to be interesting. Is the FC teams 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.760 are trying to make a move to get in better 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.720 position for the postseason. And there were a lot of 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.919 takeaways yesterday. You know, the Steelers got by the Ravens. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.880 I don't know what to make of the Ravens. I 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.520 don't know what to make of the Steelers. Chargers handle 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.960 the Bengals, the Lions win, the Rams, role Seahawks over 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.080 the forty nine Ers. Just one of those weeks where 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.560 you get a couple of surprises there. Look out for 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.240 the Dolphins. They a playoff team, I don't know, but 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.200 when they start out poorly and now they're playing well. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.960 They got a really good wide receiver in Jaylen Waddle 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.600 two A plays well, playing enough good football to maybe 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.839 keep that job. Do the Eagles have a quarterback controversy 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.919 now with Gardner Minshew in instead of Jalen Hurts. Jalen 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.440 hurts out. Gardner Minshew look great. Are the Chargers back? 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.120 I don't know where they went? But are they back? 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.040 Russ plays well? What does that mean? So there's a 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.840 lot of questions here, and a lot of times when 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.200 you look at a team when they get hot, when 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.600 they're playing their best football. And you can go back 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.640 to last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, because I 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.440 didn't know at seven and five if they were going 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.920 to be a playoff team, and then next thing, you know, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.200 they don't lose a game twelve games in. Now it's 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.160 seventeen game regular season. So you start to look at 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.160 that final three, final four games. Are you healthier? Are 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.640 you going to get healthier? And what's your schedule look like? 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.280 Are you going to have home field advantage? Those are 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.000 the things that I start to look for here, and 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.760 if you're going to handicap. Buccaneers look good. You know, 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.440 granted they beat Atlanta, but I'm still waiting for them 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.240 to play their best football. And I don't know what's 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.720 going to happen with Antonio Brown because there's a chance 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.880 that he's going to get cut. Gronk comes in and 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:13.080 scores touchdowns. But you know, Godwin is still good, Evans 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.279 is still good. Is the defense where it was last year? 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.640 Not that I've seen so far, but you start to 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.000 look at this. I still like the Packers They've had 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.120 a lot of injuries, but I still like what Green 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.880 Bay has done continues to do, not losing Aaron Jones 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.280 to a season ending injury, having Dylan in there to run. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.520 You know, those are important. In the AFC, everybody was 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.279 trying to crown Buffalo to start the year. I didn't 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.200 see it, but this is an important game tonight. This 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.760 is one of those standalone games where everybody's going to 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.520 have an opinion on Mac Jones tomorrow and an opinion 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.400 on you know, how good Buffalo is in Josh Allen. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:57.680 Everybody's Josh Allen back in the MVP race, or maybe 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.200 they're not as good, or maybe Jones is better than 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.800 what we thought. Maybe New England is better than what 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.839 we thought. It's like, you know, you don't bet against 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.280 Belichick and Nick Saban, You just don't. You may pick 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.400 against them, but on Friday I said, look, I can't 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.800 go against Nick Saban, and I wouldn't go against Bill Belichick. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.479 I mean, Georgia was the favorite and rightfully so it's 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:27.160 still it's Nick Saban. It's just you know, the offense 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.240 got shut down against Auburn. Did I expect them to 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.120 explode against the best defense in football. I did not. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.880 But once again, it's Nick Saban, it's Bill Belichick. Somehow, someway, 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.760 they find a way to win a game. Do I 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.560 expect Belichick? And I thought they were a playoff team. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.320 I didn't think they were a super Bowl caliber team. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.560 Maybe they are. Maybe it's just it's begrudging that we 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:57.200 don't want to admit that the Patriots are good. It's like, okay, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.560 but you know, it was a better topic when they 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.760 got to Brady. Brady goes to the Super Bowl and 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.839 the Patriots, you know, trying to resurrect Cam Newton and 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.560 that didn't go well. And then all of a sudden, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.600 you go, damn, he might have done it again. It's 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.920 got a good quarterback, got a just enough offense, good defense. There, 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.880 you throw in Belichick, and you've got an advantage over 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.279 a lot of teams. This is you know, you don't 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.159 want to you don't want to face them. Yeah, you 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.960 just don't. You know, the Titans I'm not sure about 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.080 without Derrick Henry. With him, I thought that they were 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.880 a super Bowl caliber team. Colts, as long as Jonathan 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.920 Taylor's running the football, I'm I'm right there with him 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.960 and Carson Wentz. Just do enough, but don't do too 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:51.680 much where you might lose a game. So trying to 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.200 handicap all of this is that's what's the fun part 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.440 of this. And even an MVP candidate, I normally don't 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.320 talk to him about it week to week, but you 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.520 start to think about who is the MV pick. Is 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:09.000 it Brady Kyler? Murray's missed a couple of games, but 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:14.680 it might be it's not going to be Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.880 They're not going to give it to Aaron Rodgers. Something 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:21.080 might beat Tom Brady, you know, unless somebody says, what 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.840 about Michael Parsons. I don't know, I mean put him 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.560 in there. Yeah, seton. Why does it feel like when 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.400 you say that, like Tom Brady somehow backing into the 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:36.120 MVP rather than playing into it. Well, I think that 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.320 you would. You would look at the story and you go, Mann, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.800 of course, that's a great story MVP. I just don't 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.200 know how the voters think, because the voters always want 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.240 something new, something different. That's why we've had second third 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.920 year quarterbacks and like, oh, this is the year for 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.120 Josh Allen And sometimes that guy is right in front 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.800 of you Yeah. It's like it's like there's this process 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.960 of elimination where you're like, well, it can't be him 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.120 because this so it can't be this guy because he 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.600 miss gets So I guess it's Tom Brady who. Yeah, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.120 I don't know, it might be. It might be has 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.640 been the last couple of weeks. It certainly feels that way. Yeah, Paul, 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.920 nobody wants the Homecoming King to win the lottery. Brady's 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.720 the Homecoming King. He's won everything. It's like, we're going 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.720 to give another award? Can we give to anybody else? 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.520 But he's totally deserving with age and stats. Well, you 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.160 don't want to have the Homecoming King become Homecoming King 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.320 again back to back. Yes, but that's what it feels like. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.000 Age seven seven three d P show email address TP 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.520 at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.240 This program brought you by Masterclass.

Slash Patrick term supply all right whole question. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.400 Nick Lovin. Okay, Paul threw out an interesting one that 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.240 I couldn't answer. Who would you never doubt Bill Belichick 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:06.880 or Nick Saban? If you had to pick one of 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:12.640 the two, I would say Nick Saban because I think 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.000 he has more control over the outcome of a game 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.120 in college football, because there's only a couple of teams 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.000 in college football who have his talent. There are a 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.080 lot of teams who have a lot of talent, more 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.280 talent than the New England Patriots. But I think when 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.240 it comes to my talent is better than your talent, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.719 and then you factor in Saban on top of that, 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.640 he's going to come out on top. I mean there's 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.160 only what three four teams in America that come close 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.160 to Alabama's talent, and then you factor in his expertise, 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.640 I would say Nick Saban and watching the game, I 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.920 just you know, you're trying to figure out do they 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.280 have a really good defense a really good offense? Can 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.000 they put both together? I mean they played a great game, 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:00.720 perfect game there. I mean you go from number four, 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.599 number three to number one, and you know this is 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.640 where I get into this discussion all the time when 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.760 people say why do you say it's a TV show, Well, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.480 this is why it's a TV show. Because Alabama goes 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.520 to number one and Georgia goes to four. Are you 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.839 trying to tell me that Cincinnati is better than Georgia? 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:22.760 And the answer is Cincinnati is not. The reason why 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.800 it's a TV show is because if you put Georgia 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.840 at four, you know, and then they go to three, 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.520 you can't have them at four. So they're at three. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.800 That way, they don't face each other. But if they 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.440 went to four, then you would go, Okay, Georgia just lost. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.000 Should they go to four. Cincinnati's undefeated, they should go 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.800 to three. Then you have one versus four. Again, they 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.600 don't want to have that, so you make it a 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:51.240 TV show. It's going to be Cincinnati versus Alabama, Georgia 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.080 versus Michigan, so you don't have the rematch. The fact 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.440 that you factor that in that you don't want to 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.040 have a rematch tells you it's made for TV. HM. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.160 The club, I mean Michigan could be one, right, I 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.000 was curious where you thought they belonged. Well, those are 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.520 impressive back to back games, but I think the way 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:13.080 Alabama won, I got a factory in history here. But 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.280 Michigan did what, you know, I didn't know that they 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.520 could do back to back great games. You know, I 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.959 alway was not a very good team, good team, not 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.280 a not a you know, really good team. You know, 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.040 it's one of those. They got a good defense when 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.440 they get takeaways. Other than that, I didn't like their offense. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.840 I didn't like their quarterback play. But Michigan is got 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.400 a great offense and defensive line, and they run the 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.920 football and I got a factor that in. And you know, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.360 going against Georgia is a great matchup there. Yeah, seat, 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.920 But is Alabama being number one as simple as Alabama 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.360 beat the number one team in the nation, whereas Georgia 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.200 beat the number two. All right, excuse me, Michigan beat 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.600 the number two. They beat Ohio State. So I mean 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.200 it's just kind of if you're looking by rankings, yeah, yeah, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.839 you would put Alabama up ahead of Michigan based on that, right. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.199 But Georgia gets blown out and doesn't go down to four. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:08.640 Cincinnati wins stays undefeated. But that's where they didn't want 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.920 to have one versus four, Yeah, Paul, Yeah, we complain 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.680 about college football being predictable. This worked out pretty well. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.400 You know, Clemson's not there, no offense, but Ohio State's 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.640 not there, and they're almost always there. There were a 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.280 lot of people rooting for Notre Dame this weekend, weirdly, 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.800 and Notre Dame wasn't playing. They wanted Notre Dame in 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.880 just to basically say, you know, stick it to Brian Kelly, 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.720 you're gonna leave, You're gonna leave a Final fourteen. And 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.840 but I do think if Oklahoma State did one, Oklahoma 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.160 State might have jumped Cincinnati. I think that would have 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:46.920 been the interesting thing, or would Notre Dame have slipped in? Yeah, McClellan, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.360 if you can only watch one of the two final 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.880 four games, which one are you more curious about? Alabama 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:57.840 Cincinnati or Georgia Michigan. Georgia Michigan. Yeah, I mean, do 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.520 I expect Alabama to beat Cincinnati? Yes? Do I hope 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:06.640 it's a competitive game, yes, m Georgia Michigan. Georgia defensive 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:12.199 line versus the offensive line with Michigan running the football. Yeah, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.440 and then you know Georgia's offense against Michigan's defense and 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.240 those you know, two great defensive alignment that they have. Yeah, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.120 poll Alabama the early line is giving thirteen and a 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.719 half to Cincinnati over hundred fifty eight Michigan Georgia. The 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.920 over hunders only forty three point five, and uh, Michigan 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.840 is getting seven and a half points from Georgia. A 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.240 slap in the face. Okay, now we've buried the lead. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.560 Now you're from the Cincinnati area, the Metroplex. When they 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.280 start doing celebrity fans of Cincinnati Bearcat football, you gotta 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.120 be in the shortlist, the parade, the Yeah. But but 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.880 I'm not a Cincinnati Bearcat fan. No, no, No, you're 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.839 supposed to pretend you. Oh, no, I know. I went 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.000 to day. We talked about this. No, I don't care. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:59.160 Dyton cannot play Alabama in the playoffs. They cannot. Alabama 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.160 doesn't want any part dating football. Yes, let's be fair 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.240 to date. No, I'm glad for Cincinnati, but I'm not 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.960 a Cincinnati Bearcat graduate. Five weeks that's all we need. No, No, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:15.000 I don't think you know. Happy for them. Congratulations coach Fickle. Yes, yes, 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.520 it wasn't dating basketball. Sort of headed towards the Final 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.160 four that way, and they've lost the final four. That 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:25.640 could have been your time. Yeah, yeah, COVID. COVID's the 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.480 only thing that could stop dating. Basketball couldn't stop me. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.360 Actually I stopped me.

I mean, he's a Detroit fan. 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.400 And I was thinking, maybe I don't take Jeff's phone 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.800 call today after the Lions one, you know, happy holidays. Yeah, 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:09.040 it's just that would be cruel and unusual punishment. Then 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.600 I don't take Jeff's cruel but not unusual for us. Yes, 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.320 that's true, because I said to Marvin, I said, Jeff's 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:16.960 going to be one of the first guys to call in, 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.080 right and I look at the callers. Jeff's on the line, 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.240 But I can't get to Jeff right now. We got 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.360 a commercial break. I mean, I got three hours and 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.760 I hope to squeeze in a phone call from Jeff today, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.600 But I don't know.

I saw the promote, said Aaron Rodgers versus 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.120 Justin Fields. I'm assuming Justin Field is going to be there. 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.440 I don't think he's playing, is he? Although, if you're 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.240 a Bears fan after the Andy Dalton performance, make of it. 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.200 I like how mcloven gets so defensive about Andy Dalton. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.000 I go, yeah, for interception, well only twurs fault. I mean, 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.120 do tip passes really count as interceptions? Yeah? They do. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.000 I blame this uniform. Nobody can seem to play quarterback 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.000 in the Bears uniform. Wait, that's your that's your defense 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.080 of Andy Dalton. He may have a point about that. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.720 With it. It's pretty good, oh you being a Bears fan. Yeah, 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.080 it's bringing big Mike Golik Pro Football Talk Live co host, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.680 a former Notre Dame defensive lineman and a former Mike 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.080 and Mike co host. You know, people say it's hard 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:35.960 to get into Notre Dame, and I said, the Golik's 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.640 all got into Notre Dame. So It's not that tough 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.280 to get into Notre Dame, is it, Mike, No, No, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.400 it's really not. Dan, thanks for that. And by the way, 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:51.760 had I had I had the insightful analysis of the uniform, Yeah, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.960 being the reason that the Bears and the quarterbacks aren't 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.320 playing well, I may still have a job as a 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:02.840 morning radio So that's what happened. That's what's Yeah, that 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:07.280 was it. That's just not enough. Great uniform analysis got 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.879 me booted. Yeah, yea, this just in we finally figured 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:15.840 out what happened to Mike and Mike um lest They're 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.720 a tactful way for Brian Kelly to leave Notre Dame 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.800 that everybody would have been okay with. You know what, 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.919 I find it hard to imagine there's any way because 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.879 what do all these coaches say when they're in the 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.440 living room, you know, of a of an eighteen year old, 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.000 is I'm going to be your coach? I don't know 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.080 of any that's sit in there. And maybe I'm wrong. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.000 I'm not in the living room where they say, you 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.879 know what, come to my school and I might be 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:43.560 there and I might not be, you know, for the 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.480 next for your time there. So they all give the 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.000 thought that they're going to be there, and then as 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.680 far as leaving, what makes a tough dan is now 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.040 it's less than two weeks away as the early signing 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.919 period the NCAA did that used to be the February 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.920 where he had a little more time. Now you got 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.480 to have your ducks in a row then. So the 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.880 only way I could think, listen, we're two guys from 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.159 a different era. I don't think it can be it 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.600 can be held off. Could Brian Kelly say hey to 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.400 the ad, we're the only ones talking right now. My 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.760 plan is to do this, but I don't need this 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:18.720 out on social media. I need to go back and 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.119 talk to my team first. I don't know if you 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.760 can do that anymore. I honestly do not know if 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.000 you can do that anymore. I'm glad he went back 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.639 to talk to him after the fact. He didn't do 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:29.560 that when of less Cincinnati to go to Notre Dame, 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.639 and I certainly had a problem with that. I don't 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.840 know if there's a tactful way with the timing of 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.320 everything now in college football. And also everybody saw this 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:43.600 with Cliff Kingsbury where they're the Oklahoma rumor and he 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:45.960 doesn't deny it, and he didn't really push it to 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.399 the side and say I'm absolutely not going to Cloma. 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.120 It was like, okay, he's gonna use that to get 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.240 a new deal with Arizona. What if Arizona just said 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.840 you want to go coach in college, then go ahead. 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.880 We got a young team, you know you want to go. Go. 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.879 I think Cliff would probably take that chance. Uh see it. 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.560 But but I get your point because you know you're 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.720 basically and I don't blame listen, we at all. What's 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.640 the greatest word there is in contract and talk. It's leverage, 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:18.840 And all of a sudden you have other people after you, 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.600 and you could you can go because contracts don't mean 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.160 a damn thing as far as coaches are concerned, So 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.320 they can go. So if you have a leverage, how 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.199 many college coaches are going to get paid? Like mel Tucker, 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.000 did you know because their name gets thrown out? Yeah, 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.920 I'm waiting for me for Matt Campbell from Iowa State 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.680 if he doesn't take another job to get paid. If 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.320 you can use it to your advantage, so be it. 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.000 But there is that side of it. If if they say, 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.280 oh no, go ahead, you can go if you want, 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:48.359 it would be really interesting what would happen? Then I 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.280 don't expect that to happen, but certainly a team could 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.640 say it. But if I'm Oregon and Mario Chrystal Ball 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.600 wants to flirt with Miami, then I would say, go, 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.399 given what you've produced the last two games against Utah, 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.480 go feels like you're already out the door. So I 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.359 guess the other side of that because we were talking 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.720 about that with Jim Harball right where he would get 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.160 them to nine ten wins a year, but he wasn't 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.240 beating Michigan State consistently. He hadn't beaten Ohio State at all. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.800 He wasn't getting in a Big ten championship. He certainly 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.200 wasn't getting in the four team tournament. So you would say, 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.720 was it getting close for Jim to be gone? Because 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.159 he was losing those big games? But then it's like, 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:26.879 and I'd say the same thing with Mario, who are 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.840 you getting? You know? Where are you going? Who are 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.440 you gonna get? He's getting you right to the brink 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.800 every year and at some point I know time will 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.240 run out. But that's the first thing I always ask 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.560 is like, Okay, where are you gonna go that's gonna 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.159 all of a sudden, you're gonna beat Utah. You know 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.119 this time? You know, is Mario crystal Ball the reason 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.320
