1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Well, that's right,

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: you heard the man. It is a time of week.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: My name is Bernie Frotter. We are coming you alive

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas. Take

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: you up to three in Pacific, six am Eastern. And

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: my goodness, what a show we've got for you tonight.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: What a week? Oh yeah, you know. You know. When

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I first got into this business, my mentor was a

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: gentleman by the name of Dick Shapp. He asked me

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: one day, why do you want to be in this business?

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: And I said, I see a time coming where the

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: business of sport, the business of covering sport, will override

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: these sports on the field themselves. And gradually that's been

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: happening in dribs and drabs, and it's taken on a crescendo,

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: and never has that been more evident this past week. Now,

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: let me set this up by saying, I bet you'd

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: agree with me that we've had a pretty exciting and unusual,

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: anitiosyncratic college football season this year. Right, did you have

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy winner coming from Indiana back in August?

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I almost said, did you have that on your Bingo card.

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: None of you got Bengo cards. I don't know how

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: this stupid thing started. You don't carry around Bingo cards.

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know what they look like. Well, I

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: do know what they look like. But you don't have

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: a Bingo card for predictions. Okay, I'm done with that.

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Did you have Anyana number one?

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: No?

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: We know Kurt Signetty was pretty good. No. Did you

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: have Penn State and Clemson screwing the pooch among other

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: big college stories? Ten fireings? No? No, we have a

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: very exciting playoff coming up next Friday, Alabama Oklahoma. I

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: mean we are really looking forward to it, all right,

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: But case in point, what have we been talking about

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: the last month? Not games on the field, but Lane

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Kiffin with that knucklehead do it again? After five? You know,

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: ugly stupid, self centered, messy departures from major schools. What

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: do you do it again?

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: Oh?

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, this most recent one was perhaps the most spectacular.

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: We're not talking about the games on the field. We're

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: talking about Notre Dame. Now. I respect the institution of mentally,

42
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: but in a very petty, selfish, self loathing move, the

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: non fighting Irish have taken their ball and gone home again.

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: I have a men's respect for the university. I've walked

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: that campus many times, seen several games in their stadium

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: versus USC Michigan and many others, and I think it's

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: the stellar institution. But in this case, they played the

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: victim and that's not gonna fly. I'm sorry. And how

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: about most recently this week where I found myself on

50
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: the phone with multiple Michigan insiders and cronies. And I

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: was in Michigan last week with my wife catching up

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: with people, saw this coming down the pipe, and see,

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: I have a bit of a dilemma here because I

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: know what happened. As a matter of fact, I know

55
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: some additional details that have been reported on yet and

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: I'm just simply not going to come forward with him.

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: But if you know me, and if you've listened to

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: my show, I don't really do TMZ radio, did you

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: hear me go off at length. When Meltucker was fired

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three admid sexual harassment allegations, didn't really

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: talk about it much. Not much after that. Before that,

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern was fired for cause. Tennessee fired

63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: their head coach, Jeremy Pruett in twenty twenty one. In

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, good old Bobby Petrino for cause and you

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: know why, having a relationship with the support and it's

66
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: showing favoritism, et cetering lying to his bosses about it.

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: Got a little crash in a motorcycle crash. Well yeah,

68
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: and Brian Kelly they just fired him at LSU and

69
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: that was a big stink. I didn't spend a lot

70
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: of time talking about that, but it becomes a situation,

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: especially now, is it's not what has happened, but how

72
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: do you react? How does this prestigious institution react. My

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: mother went to school University of Michigan. I covered that

74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: program for many, many years, many years while I lived there.

75
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: And this is what we're going to have to be

76
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: talking about in the next ten to fourteen days. And

77
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean quickly. First of all, Michigan obviously that due

78
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: to new coach, they got thirteen days to do it.

79
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: They have thirteen days to get it done. And if

80
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: I had a nickel for every knucklehead that's going on

81
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: in the air, throwing names around, like you know, Nichols,

82
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: having no knowledge of anything, just guessing, well, i'd hell

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: I'd have Elon musk Mo own my lawn. You know.

84
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: I had someone say, oh Cayln de Bori, you know,

85
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: if he loses the localah bah blah, Well he'll be depressed.

86
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: Who probably want to go there? Well, actually, Caitlyen do

87
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Bar is very happy to at Alabama, not to say

88
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: anythink can happen and you can end up there, And

89
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: I will tell you that's Michigan's first choice if they

90
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: can get him. There's no guarantees. Then you hear the

91
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: name jesse Mentor, the defensive coordinator for the Chargers. You

92
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: heard me say thirteen days right, Well, jesse Mentor's got

93
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: a show cost and through April they ain't gonna happen.

94
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: Ain't going back to Michigan. He's doing a hell of

95
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: a job with the Chargers. Or not that he wouldn't

96
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: be a good choice, but Michigan is looking to somewhat

97
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: distance itself from the Harbor era and Mentor would be

98
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: retrieved by intrigued maybe by this, but I don't think

99
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: it's in the cards. Now you hear Jetfish, Well, Jetfish

100
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: has some Michigan history, but he's their number two choice.

101
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Although he does he's a prolific offensive coach. He might

102
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: do a good job. I don't know. You'd have to

103
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: wait and see. Then Kenny Dillingham, who I think a

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: lot of it's not gonna be Kenny Dillingham. Then there's

105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: other names going around like David Shaw from stand who

106
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: had ties to Harrorball, Brian Kelly laugh Cloud laugh. He

107
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: might go in and clean that mess up. Remember he's

108
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: got Michigan roots, won multiple national championships at Grand Valley

109
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: State and Central Michigan before heading on to Notre Dame

110
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: and then of course LSU, where that was a disaster

111
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: because he doesn't belong in the South. That was you know,

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: oil and water. And then I know a lot of

113
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: fans might say, well, hey, how about Biff Pogy. And

114
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: by the way, I left picked Biff Pogy. He can

115
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: come babysit the program for a year while we figure

116
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: this out. No, that's not how you do it in

117
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: major institution. And the problem is, as much as I

118
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: left Biff Pogy, he went six and sixteen in Charlotte.

119
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: He'll do a good job in the Bowl game. He

120
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: did a good job this year, and frankly I'd consider

121
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: keeping him on staff. I think but it ain't gonna

122
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: be Biff Pogy. You got to take the hard punch. Now,

123
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: get to work now, and then message is going to

124
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: clean up. Be cleaned up in one day or one season.

125
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: They got work to do, all right. So that's the

126
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: first thing we got to look at. But guess what,

127
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: it's not that simple because who gets to hire the

128
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: next coach? Right now? It's ad Ward Manual. But there

129
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: is no guarantee Ward Manual is going to survive this

130
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: as of Friday, he has nobody knows nothing. So if

131
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Ward Manual, and by the way, Michigan's got an interim

132
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: president as well. If Ward Manuel isn't doing the hiring,

133
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: who is it, Well, I don't know and you don't either.

134
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: That's what I believe the regents are trying to sort

135
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: out right now. They just met Thursday to discuss his

136
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: future with the university. Unfortunately, there's been a laundry list

137
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: of issues, including the firing of former U of M

138
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: coach basketball coach Juwan Howard after he fought with the

139
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Wisconsin basketball assistant that happened not making it up. Jim

140
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and Sherylan Moore were suspended multiple times, and of

141
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: course you got the Connor Stallion's sign stealing saga, and

142
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: you've got Matt Weiss, the former quarterback coach who's not

143
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: being investigated for cyber stocking women on campus. That's not

144
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: the half of it. So there's kind of a list there,

145
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: all under Ward Manuals watch. As of yet, as a Saturday,

146
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Ward Manual is still the athletic director at Nisity of Michigan.

147
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: But until they sort that out, you don't know. You

148
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: don't know nothing. And then let's not forget Bryce Underwood,

149
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: who's got all the talent in the world. But when

150
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: I was in Michigan last week, well, we think he's

151
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: got all the taut in the world. That's what they

152
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: told us. I'll just say this, he wasn't developed well.

153
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: And I get that you'd always blame somebody else. But

154
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: I talked to boosters and they weren't real happy. At

155
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: halftime of the Ohio State games, said what the hell

156
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: are we doing here? He's three for five now only

157
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: to let him throw five times? That's not his fault,

158
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: but why are they only to let him through five times?

159
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: You know what else was talked about. Michigan State's got

160
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, Aiden Childs who flumped. He followed what you know?

161
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: He followed the he followed, He's coach John C. Smith

162
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: from Oregon State to Michigan State, who's no longer there.

163
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: John C. Smith, no longer there. He got benched six

164
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: games into the season, and the replacement quarterback was a

165
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: kidnamed Alesio. And his last name looks like an I chart,

166
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to try to pronounce it. Guess what,

167
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: both individually and half the season eight and Childs in

168
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: Alessio threw more touchdown passes than Bryce Underwood. Now why

169
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: is that? I don't know why it is. I'm glad

170
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: I haven't paid the twelve men, and that's not to

171
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: say it can't change next year. But guess what the

172
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: clock is ticking people off? Talk to that. I know

173
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: what the hell they're talking about. They're not just fans.

174
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: They have told me that Bryce Underwood has yet to

175
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: commit that. Yeah, I'm staying matter of fact, kind of

176
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: in the rumor stage. But he may have entered the portal.

177
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's living. But I heard there's three

178
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: schools in the mix LSU where he's being highly sought after.

179
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: I heard even the honey Badger Tal Matthew's recruiting him.

180
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Oregon is in the mix, and even Colorado. Okay, but

181
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: the clock is ticking. You got thirteen days, and I

182
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: gotta tell you it's one thing to lose your head coach.

183
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: You really don't want to lose Bryce Underwood. Okay, as

184
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: a true freshman, he played hard. I liked his poise.

185
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: I like this physical attitude. He counted for twenty five

186
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: hundred toll yards, and you know he's your QB one period.

187
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Regardless of who the next coach is. I think Bryce

188
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: Underwood gives Michigan the best chance to compete for something

189
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. They have a much tougher schedule.

190
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: You've also got a Jordan Marshall, a running back, Andrew

191
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: marsh a couple of good cornerbacks. They enjoyed some breakout years.

192
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: It's a young team. You've got thirteen days to install

193
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: a coach. Nobody knows nothing. And by the way, not

194
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: for nothing. What's next for Michigan as an institution. They're

195
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: going to be investigated. It's they no longer have the

196
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: privileges simply believing incidents that you know, Michigan's above this

197
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. They're going to investigate themselves, They're going

198
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: to ask difficult questions. I've been inside sham Beckler Hall.

199
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: It's amazing, but it's tainted right now. And there's going

200
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: to be more news coming out. The two things I

201
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: can't tell you. Maybe i'll tell you next week, maybe

202
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: it'll come out on its own. But there hasn't been

203
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: a lot of transparency there at the university. Above all else,

204
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: the university, he no wants to show what's going to

205
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: take accountability and operate the same standard of excellence that

206
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: made their reputation over the last couple hundred years. They've

207
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: been around since eighteen seventeen. So there's a lot too unpacked.

208
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot to know that we don't know. And

209
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: as I said, the business of sport now and covering

210
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: the business of sport overshadows the games on the field.

211
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Don't tell me it isn't. A lot of people didn't

212
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: even know that Washington played Boise State Friday night. And

213
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: who can blame you. There's no buzz there. Army Navy, Yeah,

214
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: everybody knows that. I bless those guys and let the

215
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: bulls easy begin, let the playoffs begin, and let the

216
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: stories continue because we're watching them, and I will be

217
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: here to bring you the truth, not an opinion. By

218
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: the way, every goal starts with an assist on and

219
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: off the field. That's why Haleyon and US Soccer are

220
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: launching for the Assist, a celebration of everyday actually support

221
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: that help people achieve their goals with iconic brands like Censinedine, Thoms,

222
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: Voltaire and Advil and Simtrium. To learn more, go to

Speaker 1: NFL insider. We got lots unpack, a lot to talk about,

225
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: really interesting card in the NFL on Sunday, and maybe

226
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: a bit a little bit of unfinished business having to

227
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: do with the college football selection committee and a certain

228
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: team that was left out. I want to get his thoughts. Hi,

246
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,959

247
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: my show many times, longtime NFL insider and among his

248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: as a big part of his resume, worked alongside of

249
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Brent Musberger. A mal Shaw. Welcome to Malshaw.

250
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 6: Hi doing Buddy, I'm doing great.

251
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: Bernie.

252
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 6: I always knew you were a smart guy, but I

253
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 6: had no idea you were that smart to do you

254
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 6: hire guys from UFC like Brandon. He was nice enough

255
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 6: to tell me I spoke in a class of his

256
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 6: at Annenberg Schools Communications at UFC, so it was great

257
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 6: to reconnect with a student I met several years ago.

258
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: That's fantastic, good good stuff, good stuff. Appreciate that we

259
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: got so much to get to I got to dive in.

260
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: I love the cajole and one of the things. And

261
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: when I was on the show last week, I real quickly,

262
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: I want to get your real quick thought lightning round

263
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: on the college football Playoffs selection committee. When I signed

264
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: out last week, I said, it's going to be musical chairs. Alabama,

265
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Miami. One of the three is getting left out. Now.

266
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Miami beat Notre Dame had to head. I believe they

267
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: deserve to be in BAM. I had a better strength

268
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: to record, but they lost three games. Committee never put

269
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: in a three win team. Did the committee get it right?

270
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on Notre Dame.

271
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 6: I think they completely got it right. First of all,

272
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 6: too this nonsense that Notre Dame thinks that they're above

273
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 6: the fray is ridiculous. Let's start talking real here for

274
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 6: a second. Notre Dame hasn't won a national title in

275
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 6: thirty seven years. They played for a national title in

276
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 6: twenty twelve, and if Nick Saban's life was on the line,

277
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 6: he could have scored seventy against Notre Dame in that game.

278
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 6: Brian Kelly's team was only in that game because remember,

279
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 6: Ohio State wasn't eligible, even though they were twelve and

280
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 6: izo under Urban Meyer to play in the National Championships

281
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 6: that game. That year from the previous season they were

282
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 6: had a postseason Bowl ban, and then last year Ohio

283
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 6: State scored on their first five possessions. If a Mecca

284
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 6: Buka doesn't fumble the ball in the fourth quarter, Notre

285
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 6: Dame's not even back in that game. Notre Dame's a

286
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 6: nice story. And I know people want to think this

287
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 6: is the eighties and nineties.

288
00:15:58,960 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 7: With lou Hold.

289
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 6: They're not there. They're not that close. And the reality is,

290
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 6: if you took twenty teams with the losses to A

291
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 6: and M in Miami, remove those two off the table,

292
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 6: you got to beat uscat Who else did they have

293
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 6: they beaten? That schedule is nothing worse better than an

294
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 6: ACC schedule. And I'll tell you the other thing. If

295
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 6: by were the ACC conference base and the way Notre

296
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 6: Dame has come out and spoke, I would have every

297
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 6: one of my teams in conference this year forfeit every

298
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 6: sport that they played Notre Dame in every game.

299
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: Well, listen, we're in agreement. I don't know if you've

300
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: heard my opening monologue at the top. I thought it

301
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: was very petty and self loathing move that the non

302
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: fighting Irish would completely opt out of their bull game.

303
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: They took the ball and went home. And I've heard

304
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: of players opting out, but teams opting out. No, no,

305
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: not not in situations like that. I'm going to get

306
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: to that later in the show. So we are in

307
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: agreement with my friend excellent. Let's dive into this NFL

308
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: slate because right out of the gate, we have an

309
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: unusual situation twice, something that's only happened seven times in

310
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: the last five years. Them all, we've actually got two

311
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: teams that are home and they are home dogs, even

312
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: though they are both ten win teams. The first one

313
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: is Buffalo. Buffalo, a ten win team at home is

314
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: an underdog. Now I might note that in the last

315
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: five times this has only happened seven years, those whole

316
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: teams are one and six. So the Patriots trying to

317
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: go from worse to first, they won nine straight games.

318
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: They can actually can clinch the division title with the

319
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: win at home versus Buffalo. How do you see the game, mall?

320
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 6: You know it's a bigger event spot here for Buffalo.

321
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 6: Remember they got beat by the Patriots several weeks back,

322
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 6: and then you mentioned that if New England wins this game,

323
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 6: the division is there, so how is a huge opportunity

324
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 6: for Mike Rable's team. But if you look at the

325
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 6: schedule for the New England Patriots, and we don't do

326
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 6: this in the NFL, I tend to look at schedules

327
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 6: and who you play because kind of gives you an

328
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 6: idea over the course of seventeen games, how really good

329
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 6: a team is or they benefactures of a week's schedule. Look,

330
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 6: New England's been great, Drake May has been impressive. You know,

331
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 6: different pieces in terms of this team have really put

332
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 6: together well. But you can't overlook the fact they've had

333
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 6: one of the weakest schedules in the NFL based on

334
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 6: what the record was last year. I just don't think

335
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 6: you can just push that to the wayside. Buffalo, Look,

336
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 6: they've got some questions defensively. I'm not a believer in them.

337
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 6: You know, Joe Burrow gifted them a couple of interceptions

338
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 6: last week, one of the worst throws that I've seen

339
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 6: in his career. But this team is dangerous and I

340
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 6: think Buffalo, with Josh Allen the way he's playing, they've

341
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 6: got a great opportunity to revenge spot here going on

342
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 6: the road. Usually not a fan of laying points and

343
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 6: usually love on your dogs in the NFL. But in

344
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 6: a revenge game, it's going to be tough for the

345
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 6: Patriots here in my opinion, and of.

346
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Course the irony of ironies, the Pats hope with the

347
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: season by losing to the Raiders. But you're right, they've

348
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: they've got. You know, they've played the New York giants

349
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: of the world, and you're right. It's the cumulative record

350
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: of their teams. Buffalo concerns me. They don't feel buttoned

351
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: up right now. They I'm not on this game, but

352
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: I would just say that said they unless Josh Allen

353
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: goes out and scores six touchdowns like you have to

354
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: see me Lee do every week, they don't win. And

355
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: they have no running game. It's Josh Allen. So it's

356
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: a weird game. But you bring up a lot of

357
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: excellent points. The Chargers visit the Chiefs. The Chargers are

358
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: missing two starting offensive tackles. That's huge. But even if

359
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs win, Oma imagine this, Even if the Chiefs win,

360
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: their percentage chances of making the playoffs for early nineteen percent.

361
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: I don't know how Kansas City moves the ball against

362
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: his top ten defense. But I'm not laying the points

363
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: either your thoughts.

364
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 6: No, I tend to agree with you here. I think

365
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 6: this coulda be a much more defensive game. The one

366
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 6: problem is, you know, this total seems a little bit

367
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 6: high to me at forty two and a half because

368
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 6: I think Kansas City's defense has gone overlooked and how

369
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 6: effective they've been this year because the offense has been

370
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 6: inconsistent and the Chiefs.

371
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: Have not performed well.

372
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 6: But to me, what I when I look at this

373
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 6: team right now, defensively, they're still an elite level team.

374
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 6: You mentioned the tackle situation. We saw Philly get after

375
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 6: the Chargers last week, but they had what five or

376
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 6: six turnovers in that game, something ridiculous. I don't expect

377
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 6: to see a repeat performance of that. You can't rely

378
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 6: on something like that to happen week after week. So

379
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 6: for me in this matchup, I would look at the

380
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 6: under forty two and a half. I think, if you're

381
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 6: the Chiefs, how engaged are you? Yes, I know there's

382
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 6: a mathematical possibility to making the postseason. For Bernie. You've

383
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 6: got the Chargers and the Bills both at nine and four,

384
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 6: so that means you've got to win a minimum of

385
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 6: nine games. But the Texans are at eight and five,

386
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 6: but they've got their head to head against the Chiefs.

387
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 6: So now, in essence, everybody, you've got to get to

388
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 6: a minimum nine games. If you're Kansas City, I think

389
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: it's just a very difficult spot for them to be

390
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 6: able to win out and then hope so many things

391
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 6: fall properly for them to be able to win or

392
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 6: excuse me, to get into the playoffs.

393
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you take it one week at a time.

394
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: As the cliche says, I don't think the Chiefs are

395
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: making the playoffs this year. But Sunday's game is kind

396
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: of an independent trial Herbert nursing the broken hand. If

397
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: you saw that offense, that hardball ran Monday night, and

398
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: yeah they won, okay, but my god, he looked like

399
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: it looked like both Schambcker in the seventies are running

400
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: quarterback draws and Reid option draws, and Herbert kept the ball.

401
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: He must have run the ball fifteen times. That's just

402
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: not sustainable. But it does lend itself to an under

403
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: I think.

404
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, just real quickly. I think when you

405
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 6: look at this offense for the Chargers, I don't think

406
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 6: they're gonna have the same success they did on Monday Night.

407
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 6: They benefited from turnovers. I remember in the first drive,

408
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 6: I remember looking at half of them. They had one

409
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 6: hundred and sixty eight or one hundred and sixty nine

410
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 6: yards on thirty five plays. They had one play for

411
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 6: sixty yards. You take that away. They had about one

412
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 6: hundred and five I'm sorry, one hundred and six hundred

413
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 6: and seven yards on thirty four plays. This offense is

414
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 6: not that effective.

415
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: No, they don't stretch the field at all. I mean

416
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: their their vertical passing game is non existent. I want

417
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: to jump to Monday Night because this game has notoriety.

418
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Miami visits Pittsburgh. Don't look down, but the Dolphins have

419
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: actually won four games in a row. But somehow they're

420
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: only twenty seventh in passing, twenty sixth in points scored.

421
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: And the kicker for me for this game is when

422
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: the game the ball is in the air Monday night,

423
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: it's going to be ten degrees. Pittsburgh a short three

424
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. How does Tua and Miami

425
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins handle the cold weather in Pittsburgh?

426
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 6: Well, historically they've struggled, not just the Dolphins. Remember tua

427
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 6: I grew up in Honolulu. I think it's a road

428
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 6: challenge here. You know, we talked, I talked about the

429
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 6: Patriots schedule. Similar situation here. They beat Buffalo four weeks ago,

430
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 6: but then they beat the Commander's Saints and Jets, all

431
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 6: teams that are struggling, you know, just looking at second

432
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 6: string quarterbacks everywhere. So I'm not necessarily running to jump

433
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 6: on a two and seven minai team that's now sitting

434
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 6: at six and seventh. If you're in the Pittsburgh Steelers,

435
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 6: if the Bengals somehow can beat the Ravens tomorrow and

436
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 6: then you can win that game on Monday night, you

437
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 6: get yourself in a phenomenal situation. I don't know if

438
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 6: they mathematically win the division there. I think they wouldn't

439
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 6: win it because they're still three weeks left, but you know,

440
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 6: they put themselves in a great position. So if you're Pittsburgh,

441
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 6: this is a game you have to get. This Steelers

442
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: team is so hard to pick in terms of when

443
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 6: they're going to win week to week. They've been as

444
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 6: inconsistent as anybody. They have a terrible game at home

445
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago, and then they go on

446
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 6: the road to Baltimore and just look like the far

447
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 6: superior team against the Ravens.

448
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: Absolutely true. We're talking with themal Shaw, our NFL Insider

449
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: comedy has covered the NFL for decades, including working alongside

450
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Brent Musburger. Probably the one game that will draw the

451
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: most attention Sunday for obvious reasons, the Lions visit the Rams.

452
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: The Rams are currently the top seed in the NFC,

453
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: and for good reason, you're the only team the NFL

454
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: with a top five defense and a top five offense

455
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: or averaging twenty nine points a game. The Lions. My

456
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: Lions are very depleted on defense. Kruby jels us out

457
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: for the year. They're banged up in the secondary. You

458
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: know they've got to you head a running attack. But

459
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: it feels like the Lions may be in for one here.

460
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: But you know, I would never kind of them out.

461
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: I get another situation where I sure as hell don't

462
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: want to lay the five and a half points. I

463
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: think the back door can stay open or the Lions

464
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: could surprise them. What are your thoughts?

465
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, I tend to agree with everything you said there.

466
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 6: The injuries have absolutely crushed those Lions teams. I think offensively,

467
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 6: both teams should have success. Moving to football, rams should

468
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 6: have a little bit more success. But in the Dome,

469
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 6: I think it beares well for both sides here in

470
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 6: this one to be effective. Bernie, I have to tell you,

471
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: just you being from Michigan, out from the Cleveland area,

472
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 6: you know, neither of our teams have been to a

473
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. I'm not a Browns fan anymore. I stopped

474
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 6: being a brown stand when they left to go to Baltimore.

475
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: I realized the NFL with.

476
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 6: A complete business. But I just sit there and I'm

477
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 6: sorry to bring this up. I know it's been a

478
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 6: couple of years now, it still bothers me that Dan

479
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 6: Campbell did not kick the field goal in that third

480
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 6: quarter up in Santa Clara. And every time I think

481
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 6: about Dan Campbell, I'm like, does this guy have a

482
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 6: casino host, because I think he would hit on twenty

483
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 6: if he's playing blackjack.

484
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 8: That is.

485
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: It had been a point of sore contention. I've talked

486
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: to my Michigan cronies a thousand times. As you know,

487
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: that would have given the Lions a lead of three scores,

488
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: not just that scores, but three scores, and time was

489
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: on their side. As the third quarter was winding down,

490
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell chose to live by the sword and die

491
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: by the sword. The narrative was that that's what got

492
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 1: the Lions there, But I've always believed decisions of that nature.

493
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: What do you want to call them, analytics or whatever.

494
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: They're a guideline, not an inflexible anchor. And they bit

495
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: the lions and it took us. Did you notice did

496
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: you notice Sunday Dan Campbell didn't go for it once

497
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: on fourth down? Not once. Now, we don't know what

498
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: he's going to do.

499
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 6: You go ahead, I was gonna say, because they would

500
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 6: take an overwhelming risk the previously, that's about which game.

501
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 6: It was a couple of weeks prior. I was like,

502
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 6: these guys are going for it like we're not allowed

503
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 6: to punt the NFL, Like it's an illegal thing. I'm

504
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 6: telling you, I have so many friends of mine who

505
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 6: are better than in Vegas, and we talk about this

506
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 6: all the time. When you've got an opportunity early in

507
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 6: the game, take the three points, take the extra point,

508
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 6: don't go for an unnecessary two point conversion that you

509
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 6: don't make don't forego a forty seven yard field goal

510
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 6: that ninety percent of these kickers are going to drill.

511
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 6: Don't forego these points and opportunities that you have. And

512
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell, you know, you summarize it perfectly in terms

513
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 6: of what he did there, and you know it was

514
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 6: just huge. And I think sometimes they get paralysis by

515
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 6: over analysis. But you know, the analytics people think I

516
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 6: do this in this here's my analogy on that, Bernie.

517
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 6: You know, there are certain risk when you take. When

518
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 6: you're a young person, you don't have a lot of money,

519
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 6: you can take certain risks. As you get older, and

520
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 6: let's say your net worth has increased, you can't take

521
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 6: those same risks. You might be able to, you know,

522
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 6: take certain gambles and if you lose that money, you're

523
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 6: willing to live with it, but you're not going to

524
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 6: sit there and gamble the same way when you're much older.

525
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 6: So I don't understand why they couldn't understand late in

526
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 6: the season play offs from the line and do the

527
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 6: same thing.

528
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: Well I don't either, And the bottom line is there

529
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: is a risk reward factor to these decisions. And back

530
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: in January twenty twenty four, the reward was what you

531
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: move the chains and you keep the ball, but you

532
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: to put yourself up most likely three scorers. And I

533
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: know there are pundits that say there's no guarantee he

534
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: would have made the field goal one earlier in the game.

535
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: But look, that's all water under the bridge. Now. The

536
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: other thing I'm in agreement of because it did lions

537
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: pre and posts for ten years. There's an old saying

538
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: the first points in the NFL are the hardest. So

539
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: Ray Malavas used to say, I'll be damn if I

540
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: drive my field team ninety seven yards down the field,

541
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: run fourteen plays and have nothing to show for it.

542
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: So you may get pissed off at me first drive

543
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: the game where I kick a field goal from the

544
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: three yard line, But I want to put points on

545
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: the board. I don't want to have nothing, So the

546
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: first points are the hardest. Secondly, I don't know when

547
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: you have a chance to tie a game why people

548
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: don't go for it, because, well, you're not gonna win

549
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: with field goals. You gotta have touchdowns or you're not

550
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna win getting zero points either. There was a prominent

551
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: coach five weeks ago that went for fourth down three

552
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: times instead of kicking three field goals who all for

553
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: three found himself at the end of the game almost

554
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: losing by a field goal because their kicker mister sixty

555
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: yard And I'm not going to out the coach because

556
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: I like him. So these teams have a tendency to

557
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: bite you, and you're chasing points later in the game. Finally,

558
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: late in the game, if you're down by three and

559
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: you have a chance to tie it, tie it. That

560
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: may not win the game, but let your defense go play.

561
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: So we're in complete agreement, which sort of leads me

562
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: to the next game, which is interesting because it's another

563
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: one of those situations where you've got a ten win

564
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: team at home who's an underdog. The Broncos won ten games,

565
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: right this year, they're a home dog. If they win,

566
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: they clinched the playoffs. The Packers. Interestingly enough, and this

567
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really correlate to any great trend, there are only

568
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: one in seven all time in Denver, but is the

569
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: US is spot play as well. Green Bay coming off

570
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: very impressive back to back divisional wins against Chicago and Detroit.

571
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: And you know what green Bay has really ridden more

572
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: than anything is their defense. Your thoughts on this game

573
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: in Denver were green Bay's a short favorite against a

574
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: can win team at home?

575
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 9: Yeah?

576
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 6: This Packers team, you know they're to me, Jordan mumpin,

577
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 6: big question mark I have with them. I like them defensively.

578
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 6: I love Josh Jacob. You know, if you've got to

579
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 6: go to lambeau Field in January and you've got that

580
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 6: battering Ram, you've got to tackle in the fourth quarter,

581
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 6: that is a tough order and tough task, and this

582
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 6: take the matchup. I like the way Boneck has played

583
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 6: this year. Obviously, Leason Dobbins was a big blow for

584
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 6: this team. Otherwise I would have probably made them the

585
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 6: favorite in the AFC to get to the Super Bowl.

586
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 6: I still think they're right there with anyone else that

587
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 6: people might like. This is a good football team. I

588
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 6: like their defense.

589
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: You know.

590
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 6: The big thing for me with Denvers, I think their

591
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 6: confidence has just grown throughout the course of the season.

592
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 6: The game against the Colts is one that they shouldn't

593
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 6: eve squandered. I like their chances here. I would look

594
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 6: at the home dog here in this figure spot instead

595
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 6: of taking Green Bay on the road. I just don't

596
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 6: trust Jordan Love completely and based on the way they

597
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 6: call plays in Green Bay. I think Matt Lafour doesn't

598
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 6: come out and say it. Obviously he can't, but I

599
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 6: don't think there's a complete trust in his quarterback at

600
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 6: times either.

601
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: And Josh Jacobs has banged up his knee still bother

602
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: him and his backup Emmanuel Wilson is banged up. Of

603
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: all last one, I can't let you go without getting

604
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: your thoughts. Philip Rivers starting in Seattle. No one should

605
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: wish that on anybody. Seattle is brutal, or they're at home,

606
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: They're just I mean, they're the real deal. I actually

607
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get the Rams in the rematch. But

608
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: the bottom line is your thoughts on that whole ordeal

609
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers starting Sunday at Seattle as a thirteen

610
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: and a half point dog.

611
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 6: He's making this start for the first time in eighteen

612
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 6: hundred days, correct, so it's five plus years. And I'll

613
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 6: tell you something. It just seems like it's gonna be

614
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 6: too much to old would come in my opinion. You know,

615
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 6: this team has already gone downhill. We saw they've had

616
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 6: some issues. Now Jonathan Taylor's gonna have to run the

617
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 6: ball and carry the mail, but three out of these

618
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 6: last four games has been under one hundred yards. I

619
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 6: just don't know if he's gonna be able to get

620
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 6: it done. I think the way the Seahawks have played,

621
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of laying this type of number

622
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 6: in the NFL, but if you look at the Hawks

623
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 6: at home, they have destroyed some teams. I've absolutely just

624
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 6: taken people of the woodshed, and I wouldn't be surprised

625
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 6: off what happens in this game against the Colts. It

626
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 6: feels like in the season kind of went by the wayside.

627
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that the players are quit or

628
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 6: anything like that. I'm not suggesting they're implying that, but

629
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 6: it just feels like it's going to be tough to overcome.

630
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 6: They're coming on a three game losing streak, and then

631
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 6: the Seattle team is trending in the other direction, just

632
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 6: playing great football, having won three in a row. But

633
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 6: you look at Bernie their last two home two games,

634
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 6: they go down on the road, Atlanta beat them by

635
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 6: twenty they beat the Vikings by twenty six at home.

636
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 6: It's a team that's beating the Cardinals by twenty two

637
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 6: at home this year so beating weak teams, you've got

638
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 6: to get McDonald's team a ton of credits. They come

639
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 6: in there and they take care of business. And I

640
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 6: think this could be a big opportunity for the Seattle

641
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 6: offense against the Colts team defensively that at times has

642
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 6: not been great.

643
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: All Trio Mall great stuff is always. They definitely want

644
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: to get you back when the NFL playoffs start in January.

645

Speaker 1: here in Las Vegas, it is going to be twelve

682
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 1: midnight eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six, six three sixty nine.

683
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 1: But figuratively where you are, or where all of us are,

684
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: it's also the midnight hour, and you know what to do.

685
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: The callers have been phenomenal over the last two years

686
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: that we have done this. We have three topics tonight.

687
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward, very much forward to hearing your thoughts.

688
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: Number one, I want to start with Notre Dame. You

689
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: heard me earlier. I think, in my view, the fact

690
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: that Notre Dame decided to back out of their bull

691
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: game with selfish. It was petty, with self loathing. This

692
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: is not becoming of the institution. I believe that is

693
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. They played the victim and that's not going

694
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: to fly with me. Now, this isn't the first time

695
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: a team or a school has declined a ball game.

696
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: It's happened many times. Frankly, for some of those schools,

697
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: it's the best decision we've seen. Some rosters decimated after

698
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: coaching changes in the transfer portal, like LSU played with

699
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: just forty five scholarship players in the twenty one Texas Bowl.

700
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: That's not good. That's one example. Some teams can't field.

701
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: Some teams can't field rosters for the game. They can't

702
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: field teams. But Notre Dame isn't that. This is not

703
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: a team going through a coaching change like Kansas State

704
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: or Iowa stated. It's not a team that have miserable

705
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: fall just wants to end it. Notre Dame has won

706
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: ten games in a row. This is not a team

707
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: short on players due to the transfer portal. They were

708
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: all set to go to the pop Tarts pool. All right,

709
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have scoring teams now that are motivated

710
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: to win ball games. Just say screw it. You. Compare

711
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty three Florida State, that's the obvious one.

712
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: The Seminoles team truly snub by the committee just by

713
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: the thirteen old season. They fielded basically their JV team

714
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: against Georgia, got lost sixty three to three, but they

715
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: shore up okay. In twenty twenty two, when Alabama was

716
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: the first team out, the Crimson tied a bunch of

717
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: their top stars, including Bryce Young. They played the Sugar

718
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: Bowl beat Kansas State. Last year's Alabama team again the

719
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: first team out felt they were snub saw most of

720
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: their top players, including Jalen Milroe. They suit up and

721
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: played Michigan. You know where I'm going with this. You

722
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: may say burn it, you're full of crap. They can

723
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: do what they want their Notre Dame. What's wrong with you?

724
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: Or you could say I don't care, or you can say, well,

725
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with you. So when you heard

726
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame was opting out because and you know why,

727
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: what were your thoughts? That's topic number one eight seven

728
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: seven nine nine six six re six nine Topic number two.

729
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: I had a chance to sample some out of state

730
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: radio the other day. Man, I heard the lackiest thing.

731
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: But tell me you wouldn't want to see this maybe

732
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: or maybe you wouldn't. Now, first of all, I'm talking

733
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: about the Cleveland Browns. Shoode or Sanders has shown some flashes.

734
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: He deserves more chances. He makes plays off schedule. I'm

735
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: not sold on him yet, but he's got my attention now.

736
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski is a two time Coach of the Year.

737
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: If I'd never call for anybody's job on the show.

738
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: If they do let him go, they'll have a job

739
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: in five minutes. So this is an if, it's a

740
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: what if rumination. If Kevin Stefanski were to go this

741
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: one host oh I'm not going to name said I'd

742
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 1: like to see him hire Dean Sanders. Yeah, then maybe

743
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: trade one of those first round draft picks and get

744
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter back and get the band together and he

745
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: starts your door? Would you want to see that? If

746
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: if Kevin Stefanski were to go bye bye if and again,

747
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: make no mistake, I don't care what you think about Stefanski.

748
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: And if you think there's some big conspiracy theory to

749
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: ruin Shador's life, dude, you got to get yourself a

750
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: cool compress, lie down with some warm milk and soft

751
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: music until it passes. They don't do that in the NFL.

752
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: Take whatever you think, whatever you want, go ahead. That

753
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: ain't happening. So who may be gone? I'm not saying

754
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: he is, or is it he might be if he goes?

755
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: Do you advocate Dion Sanders? Do I think it would happen? No?

756
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, we root for the story here, okay.

757
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: We like to see new things in sports. And look,

758
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: you know I will tell you when Dion was open

759
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: to leaving Jackson State of few years back, I advocated

760
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: he go to USC. He had done at least what

761
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's doing. I'm convinced of it. But what a

762
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: great story. He'd coached his son in the NFL and

763
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: guess what, there's nowhere to hide. They did the producer results,

764
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: or they wouldn't because you imagine what that might look like.

765
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: Would you be open to it? So topic number one,

766
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, we're taking our ball and going home. I

767
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: don't think it's a good look. I think it's a

768
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: bad look. The point of playing football is to play football.

769
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: Business decisions and economics are part of it. I will

770
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: say this though, just because they thought they should have

771
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: got in and you heard them all shaw and make

772
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: their points, and I'll give you the points in the show. Well,

773
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: I think the committee rate made the right decision. Notre

774
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: Dame said, scret we're not playing in a bowl game.

775
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: I was shocked because I have a lot of respect

776
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: for the institution. But when you take your ball and

777
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: go home like that, played the victims self loathing. It's petty.

778
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: By the way. Ivan Mozielle, a long time respected college

779
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: football writer, had a book signing in South Bend. Notre

780
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: Dame canceled it because he was on the committee. We

781
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: don't even know who we voted for. They just said

782
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: you can't come. Are you kidding me? So? Number one,

783
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, what were your thoughts when you heard Notre

784
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: Dame was opting out? Don't pull punches. Secondly, Dion Sanders,

785
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: if and it's an if, I don't call for anybody's job.

786
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: If Kevin Stevanski were to go bye bye and get

787
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: another job in five minutes, two time Coach of the

788
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: Year and he's not sabotaging sdor if you were to go,

789
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: would you be open to seeing Dion Sanders coach the

790
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. I heard, you know a radio host in

791
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: another city bring that up and he kind of went

792
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: down the road and got down a rabbit hole. What

793
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: the hell, let's hear what the CA got to say?

794
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: You guys do a great job. The third thing, and

795
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: this is just a quickie. Philip Rivers is starting Sunday,

796
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: hasn't even been on an NFL roster in eighteen hundred days. Desperation,

797
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: you like it, you hate it? Again? Just what was

798
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: your knee jerk reaction? Notre Dame Deon Sanders, Philip Rivers

799
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine

800
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox the Midnight Hours. Here,

801
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 1: it's the callers that make this thing cook. From where

802
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: I sit, it's midnight, literally and figuratively. You get the

803
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: last word. You are listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show

804
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: up next the Midnight Hour and Fox Sports Radio. That's right,

805
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: you heard the man. The Bernie Fraddle Show is back,

806
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: and I want to remind you folks at every goal

807
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: starts with an assist, down and off the field. That's

808
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: why Haleyan and US Soccer are launching for the Assist,

809
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 1: a celebration of everyday acts of support that help people

810
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: achieve their goals with iconic brands like Censed Dine, Tom's,

811
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: Voltaire and Advil and Senndrome. To learn more, go to

812
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: Haley on assist dot com. Well, okay, we've got Notre Dame.

813
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: It sounded like Warner Wolter. Let's go to the videotape.

814
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: Very petty, selfish, self loathing move. The non fighting Irish

815
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: have taken their ball and gone home. They are opting

816
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: out of their bull game. Your thoughts. Secondly, Kevin Stefanski

817
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: may not be back next year. I don't call for

818
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: anybody's job. He's a two time NFL Coach of the Year.

819
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: He'll have a new job in five minutes if that happens.

820
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 1: But I heard some knucklehead in another city say, hire Dion.

821
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: Would you like to see that Dion pacing the sidelines

822
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: at your Cleveland Browns with Shudur at quarterback? What the hell?

823
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: Maybe even trade for Travis Center two? Get the band

824
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: back together. And finally, Philip Rivers starting after not being

825
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: on an NFL roster for eighteen minute days in Seattle

826
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: maybe the toughest place to start in the NFL. What

827
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: were your thoughts when you heard that time for the

828
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: midnight hour phone lines are packed. We're going to get

829
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: to all of you that really appreciate your thoughts. Please

830
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: be patient, and I appreciate your patience. We begin with

831
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: Christopher in London. Welcome back in Christopher, nos just a

832
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: Christopher that used to live in North Carolina and moved

833
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: to London.

834
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 7: Yes, sure, that's why I was praying you were going

835
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 7: to be online this week. And I don't care what

836
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 7: my rolling charges costed. I desperately wanted to.

837
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: Talk to well, I'm glad you heard of you, buddy.

838
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: It's at nine am in London and you're having the

839
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: English breakfast, then go ahead right by nine am.

840
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 7: There, Yes I am, Yes, I am, and I'm having

841
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 7: my morning or Earl grade te choking down the fact

842
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 7: that the University of Michigan has now become a running joke.

843
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 7: You sat through the entire basketball drama in the eighties when.

844
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 6: They cheated, that, they cheated again in the nineties, again in.

845
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 11: The two thousand.

846
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 7: We are cheated to the point where the university and

847
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 7: of itself is a running embarrassment. My hope is that

848
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 7: when you are able to finally release the facts of

849
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 7: what's really going on, something really happens, and I need

850
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 7: a new president that comes in being out the in

851
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 7: hire administry of the athletic department. Number two, the issue

852
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 7: that goes on for Notre Dame. What's also embarrassing and

853
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 7: look at it another way, Vernon. The other thing that

854
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 7: happens is when athletes decide, well, we're at a bowl game,

855
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 7: but it's not important for us to play because I

856
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 7: want to focus on my NFL career. Okay, what is

857
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 7: it do you want to be in college or do

858
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 7: you want to be in the NFL or do you

859
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 7: want to have now? Today we have the money from

860
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 7: the aisle giving you the ability to play for millions

861
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 7: of dollars even if you don't become a pro athlete.

862
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 7: Let's get something straightier. Are you representing college football or

863
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 7: aren't you? If you're not, shut up, because the point.

864
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 9: Is, do you have to show the respect that the.

865
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 6: Committees have done?

866
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 7: It asked to be changed, it changed. They asked for

867
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 7: more teams.

868
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:07,959
Speaker 6: They've had a more teams.

869
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 9: What do you want?

870
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 7: You can't have it both ways. You can't have them

871
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 7: where athletes kittens dictates how they play the game. Secondly,

872
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 7: you can't have the university decide we're not going because

873
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 7: we don't know we've been treated. Excuse me, you keep

874
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 7: asking the committee to do something and they have it.

875
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 7: I'll stop here because I know you have a lot

876
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 7: of them.

877
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: It calls stay for ten seconds. He just wants you

878
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: to know that the University of Michigan has commissioned a

879
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: law firm out of Chicago, their gener and Block, to

880
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: conduct a full investigation going back over the years on

881
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: the numerous quote unquote scandals. I'll call them have occurred,

882
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: how they've been handled, and it's going to be an

883
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: independent investigation. So I think the university's embarrassed. I actually

884
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: had lunch today with my good friend Larry Sorenson, ten

885
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: year major leaguer. He was in town for convention. He

886
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: was a graduate University of Michigan. He said, Bernie, I'm embarrassed.

887
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: So Christopher way to start us off tonight outstanding. Please

888
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: don't be a stranger, and I'll reveal more. I'm very

889
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 1: comfortable talking about it on the air. Some of the

890
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: other things I know about this whole ordeal. Steven Kansas

891
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: city man, no stranger to history onics and I see

892
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: that in a good way.

893
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 9: Bernie.

894
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm glad that Michigan went ahead with an internal

895
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 12: audience because I've heard there's lots of sports tickets floating around,

896
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 12: but allegedly the coaches were giving out for various things.

897
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 12: You know about Notre Dame long long, long term.

898
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 13: This may be good.

899
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 12: This may be good for college football because it's obvious

900
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 12: that Alabama was not the best team, that they're not

901
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 12: going to win the national championship. Texas could probably win,

902
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 12: the Vanderbilt could be competitive. There were numerous teams that

903
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 12: were excluded.

904
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: If I may share with you, I know why the committee.

905
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: The committee decided they were not going to penalize a

906
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: team who got to the SEC championship game. They were

907
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: the number two team in the best conference this year.

908
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 1: They already had beaten Georgia and Georgia, and their strength

909
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: of record was four overall. Notre Dame was forty fourth.

910
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: Just interjecting that for you, Steve, go ahead, Oh yeah.

911
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 12: My main point is I'm hoping we're going to get sixteen.

912
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 12: I hope because they're had Notre Dames right, because of

913
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 12: how bad everybody looks in this situation. You may ernie,

914
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 12: you may have the facts on your side, you're correct,

915
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 12: but all of this fails the I test. That's what

916
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 12: That's why this has become such a large controversy is

917
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 12: because people feel that Notre Dame could have won a championship,

918
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 12: that Texas could have won a championship. If we get

919
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 12: down to sixteen. You know, I don't think anyone's going

920
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 12: to be arguing who is the seventeen?

921
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: What I think needs that happened? He's have sixteen just

922
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: for purposes of moving along. I think you need to

923
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: remove the conference championship games and replace him with playing games.

924
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 1: It would be easy to do. They'd be well watched,

925
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: and you could start with sixteen. And hey, if you've

926
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: got more than three losses or three, you're likely not

927
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: winning the national championship. If you've got three losses or

928
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: and then was forty fourth, I just I'll just.

929
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 12: All the all the Notre Dame haters are not going

930
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 12: to be happy next year because their new provision is

931
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 12: that they're in the top twelve. They're going so we're

932
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 12: gonna eliminate these James. We're gonna eliminate these James Madisons

933
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 12: and and you know, these these guys that can't with

934
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 12: that have no chance of doing anything. We already saw

935
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 12: Ole Miss versus Tulsa earlier.

936
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 11: To nine.

937
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. All right, So what are your

938
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: thoughts real quickly about Dion and then Philip Rivers?

939
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 12: Oh I love Dion. I hope I hope Dion is

940
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 12: the coach of the Dallas out Boys. I hope I

941
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 12: hope he. This is what this is all about, him

942
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 12: getting a job in the NFL.

943
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I'm talking about I'm talking about the

944
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: the the super silliest comment radio hosts another city made.

945
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: If Stefanski goes bringing Dion to coach the Browns and

946
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: coaches Son, That's that's what I was wanting.

947
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 6: That would the brown the Browns.

948
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 12: The Browns would probably instantly go to one of the

949
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 12: top sales teams in the NFL by by memorabilia.

950
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 9: I mean, I mean, it's a no brainer.

951
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 12: I thought Jerry Jones would have done it by now

952
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 12: once once she fires the next coach. But I mean,

953
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 12: I think it's great. I love I love Dion, I

954
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 12: love I love everything about it. You know, I'm i'm

955
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 12: i'm I'm I'm all for it.

956
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: What was what was the last time when you heard

957
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: he was starting today in Seattle? Just real quickly?

958
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 12: You need your creation, Oh grand grandfather, grand grandpa rivers Well,

959
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 12: I literally sheerly hoped. I hope to the Yeah, he

960
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 12: is a grandpa, he's a I sincerely hope that his

961
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 12: linemen have eating their wheaties tomorrow and that we don't

962
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 12: have an injury.

963
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 6: But I'll watch it.

964
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 9: I love.

965
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 12: I think, I think it's fantastic. I think guy think

966
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 12: that's that's also filed under the under the Dion category two.

967
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 12: I don't see anything bad about it. He's got ten kids,

968
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 12: he's got to feed his feed his kids and his grandkids.

969
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 8: So let him.

970
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 12: Let him put coach.

971
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: I think he was coach at the high.

972
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 12: School in Alabama before this. So let's let's see what

973
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 12: he can do. Let's see what he does when he's

974
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 12: right starts, So.

975
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: You're not you're not that dismissive. Good Steve, good, good stuff,

976
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: appreciated as always a Steve Jim in Massachusetts in the

977
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: three hole tonight, welcome in Jim.

978
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 2: Hey, uh, Notre Dame, that's an extremely bad look. They

979
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: should have went to the bowl game. You think all

980
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 2: those kids that aren't going to the pros and everything

981
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 2: like that could have gone and you know, played and

982
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: visited a different city and see sights like they all do.

983
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean the university would have got money, you know

984
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: for going to the bowl game. I mean I would

985
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: have expected that from other colleges, not from Notre Dame.

986
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be a class after they did in

987
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 2: that class. And disrespect hiring Dion in Cleveland absolutely because

988
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: it's all about money and selling tickets. Even if he

989
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 2: goes going sixteen people will line up.

990
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 8: Just to go and see.

991
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 2: And I don't think he'd do that bad in Cleveland.

992
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: There's nowhere in Cleveland but to go up, so you

993
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: know that would be a good thing. I hope he

994
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 2: has a halo over him because he is going to

995
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 2: get killed because I don't care how many passes he thrown,

996
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 2: what type of shape he's in, he is not in

997
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 2: the psyche to play, especially where it's playoff time, getting

998
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: to a playoff time, and he's been gone so long

999
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: and he's not going to be able to adjust to

1000
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 2: the speed. I don't care how good he is or was,

1001
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 2: he's not going to be able to adjust.

1002
00:50:58,440 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 8: At the speed of the game.

1003
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: The second third game of the season. Yeah, but this

1004
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 2: late in the season where everybody's bounding the playoffs, everybody's

1005
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: playing to keep their job for next year, right, lookout, lookout?

1006
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: And my fourth thing just off off the off the charts.

1007
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: New England's going nowhere nowhere. They'll lose their first playoff game.

1008
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 2: I've been watching them. I'm not a New England's fan,

1009
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 2: but I've been watching him. That quarterback isn't as good

1010
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 2: as everybody thinks he is, and they played such a

1011
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 2: cream puff schedule. They're gonna get HAMMD thanks, Bernie, go

1012
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: get them.

1013
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate you got an interesting test Sunday against Buffalo. Interestingly enough,

1014
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: like I said, a ten win team as a home dog.

1015
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: It's only happened seven times in the last five years.

1016
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: And guess what those home dogs, they're only one in six. Spocks.

1017
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: Weed from Oregon joins us. All right, my man, what

1018
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: is your libation tonight?

1019
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 14: Well, it's a little chili here in the PNW, so

1020
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 14: I've got a very nice sniffer of warm Remy Martin

1021
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 14: Kognac going on right now?

1022
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: All right, keep it simple, very nice, all right? What

1023
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on these topics? Let's start with Notre Dame.

1024
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 14: All right, Notre Dame. As an irishman, I'm ashamed. I

1025
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 14: figure if Notre Dame is going to refuse to play

1026
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 14: in a bowl game that they are qualified for because

1027
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 14: they're taking the ball and going home and being little pussy's,

1028
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 14: they need to not be eligible for.

1029
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 3: The next five years.

1030
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 14: I think that they should respect the game of football

1031
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 14: and respect the college, and they need they need.

1032
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 13: To have some come up in as far as I'm concerned.

1033
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: All right, I yes, I think they will suffer somewhat

1034
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: image wise, but the people who like Notre Dame that

1035
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 1: won't change, and the people who don't that won't change.

1036
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: I just think this was an institution again that I

1037
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: have a mental respect for. I have walked that campus

1038
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: many times, been to many games in that stadium. But man,

1039
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: they look petty and they look self loathing here, and

1040
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: it's terrible. Look. Would you like to see Dion on

1041
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: the sidelines of the Cleveland Browns?

1042
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 14: Oh god, yes, Oh, the spectacle would be just enormous.

1043
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 14: I would switch my allegiance from Seattle to the Browns

1044
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 14: and try to see if I could root for those people.

1045
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 14: I'd buy the shador Sanders and the coach Sanders jerseys,

1046
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 14: and I think he would probably do a terrible job.

1047
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: And all right, then finally Philip Rivers, real quick, I know,

1048
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 1: we all know he hadn't played, he's forty four, he speeded.

1049
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: Just what was your knee jerk reaction when you heard that?

1050
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: They're not messing around. They signed him, worked him out.

1051
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: You starting Sunday?

1052
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 11: They does he start, actually start, He's.

1053
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: Going to start that it's done, he's starting.

1054
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 14: Oh my gosh, Well, Philip Rivers, will he believes he

1055
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 14: can do it, if he if he knows how howa

1056
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 14: was played. He's done it for years.

1057
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 3: He thinks he can do it.

1058
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 13: I'm going to give the man, you know what I

1059
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 13: think they're.

1060
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: Going to see, not to sound too dirty, a lot

1061
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: of max protect formations, three steps for sure, two receiver sets,

1062
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands, which he can do,

1063
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: and try to establish the rhythm and then get on

1064
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's back. I don't know that it's going to

1065
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: be a disaster alo that Seattle defense.

1066
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 14: That's defense they're mean with eights lockdown. Witherspoon is going

1067
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 14: to eat him alive.

1068
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: And it's.

1069
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 14: But again the spectacle, you know what, my fantasy is

1070
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 14: my fantasy. It's not going to happen. But I would

1071
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 14: love to see Philip Rivers not necessarily beat Seattle. But

1072
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 14: and if they do, you know I doubt it, but

1073
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 14: to be able to get them into the playoffs and

1074
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 14: have Pittsburgh not get in the playoffs and take that.

1075
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 14: Aaron Rodgers, a forty four year old, came in from.

1076
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: Nowhere and got it in that irony, with that b irony.

1077
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 14: Yes, just like like the Spectacle with you, George Sanders

1078
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 14: and Dion You know, Aaron Rodgers has been a spectacle

1079
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 14: for for a long time. He's just trying to limp

1080
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 14: along into into his deal. And of course.

1081
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to catch it short there, which is

1099
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: Texas for joined by Greg Greg, Thanks for your patience,

1100
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: welcome back out a show, not.

1101
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 8: A problem, thanks for having me. Okay, no game. I'm

1102
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 8: not a golden Domer homer, but I do believe I

1103
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 8: agree with the assessment of taking the ball and going home.

1104
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 8: I don't like it. It's a bad optic, you know.

1105
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 8: What can you say? On the other hand, you got

1106
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 8: to understand how does a team that was below you

1107
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 8: last week in the rankings go around you when neither

1108
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 8: team played.

1109
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: See there, hold that thought, my friend. And that's where

1110
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: things get controversial. And this stupid Tuesday night TV show.

1111
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: But these people put their heads together, make a rock pile,

1112
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: make it up as they go along. There in lies

1113
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: the problem. But they would have usurped that had they

1114
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,959
Speaker 1: beaten Miami on the field. But you make an excellent point.

1115
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: I just kind of want to stay on topic and

1116
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: that and we're going to discuss this in a later

1117
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: show because the playoffs are just starting. I just want

1118
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: to get the topic. But we got a respected institution

1119
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: going through the self loathing petty you know, machination here.

1120
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 8: It's petty. Let's just drop it at that.

1121
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 13: It's petty, all right.

1122
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Dion Sanders. Would you like

1123
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: to see him Grayson the Brown sidelines? If again, if

1124
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: the change.

1125
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 8: I love a good train wreck. I'm going to say

1126
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 8: that weren't showing the coach at the college level. And

1127
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 8: I think if he goes to Cleveland or any other team,

1128
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 8: it's going to be like his initial episode at Colorado.

1129
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 8: We'll have two games a bang and then it'd be

1130
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 8: like whimper. So I'd like to see it. I don't

1131
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 8: want it to happen, and I don't think it's going

1132
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 8: to happen, but we'll go from there.

1133
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: But we'd all love to watch the theater. But you're

1134
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: you're kind of like the third caller said this, this

1135
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't work, but we'd like to watch it. Right yep,

1136
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: all right, finally real quickly without overthinking that your knee

1137
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: jerk reaction when you heard Philip Rivers, who is not

1138
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: only signed but it's starting Sunday.

1139
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 8: I like a good train wreck.

1140
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: That's two train recks, okay, all right?

1141
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 8: Oh no, I think they'll be He'll be very limited

1142
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 8: in what he can do. I think you'll see a

1143
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 8: lot of tailor carries. I just I just I think

1144
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 8: he gives them better chance to win than anybody else

1145
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 8: they have in that lineup.

1146
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 13: That's all.

1147
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: You're not wrong, you know what The reality answer is not.

1148
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, appreciated, Greg is always Martin and Orange

1149
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: welcome back in. How are you, sir?

1150
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 9: Hey Bernie?

1151
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 15: How you doing?

1152
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: Good man?

1153
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 15: Notre Dame doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me? If

1154
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 15: they know if this was next year, they'd be in automatically.

1155
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 15: If this was two years from now, I think they

1156
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 15: only gotta be a number sixteenth in the country and

1157
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 15: they'd being automatically. So them crying and whining and playing

1158
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 15: the victim when we know how the Catholic Church feels

1159
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 15: about victims. I can't believe they would do something like this.

1160
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 15: But honestly, I haven't had any faith in Notre Dame

1161
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 15: since Joe Montana came out and told.

1162
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: Me Rudy with a fake story, good stuff, good stuff.

1163
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 15: The on Sanders. I just hope he doesn't do it

1164
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 15: because I don't think he could do it. Let his

1165
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 15: son go have his time in his spotlight. Let him

1166
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 15: have his time, but don't go to the show that.

1167
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: Is the Browns.

1168
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 13: Please don't do that.

1169
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 15: And the last thought, Uncle Phil, Please, why are people

1170
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 15: surprised he has this household of ten kids.

1171
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 3: It would be like golf.

1172
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I.

1173
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 15: Could professional golf, football, I can do that, demolition, derby distance,

1174
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 15: whatever gets me out of the house.

1175
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 9: I'm doing it.

1176
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 15: Thank you for the time, Bernie, I love.

1177
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: You, appreciate it. Martin. Look, I don't know that Schulup

1178
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Rivers needs the money. What I would say is this, However,

1179
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: he's like the only guy walking the planet that's worked

1180
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: in Shane Stecken's offense. I mean, it's a hail Mary

1181
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: to say the least, But what the hell stranger things

1182
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: have happened. He saw Baker Mayfield signed midweek last couple

1183
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: of years ago and walk onto the field and beat

1184
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Vince Evans used to walk off of BMW

1185
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: sales car lot all the time and start for the Raiders.

1186
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: So I digress Mike and Modesto. Bit a minute. How

1187
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: you been, Mike? How are you?

1188
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 9: I'm good, Bernie. Under Dame, first of all, Texas was

1189
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 9: the whole thing that got really screwed here. They'd have

1190
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 9: beat they spiked Miami. They just spiked under Dame. Clearly

1191
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 9: they were better, and they just told the SEC do

1192
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 9: not play top cop teams out of conference schedule cupcakes,

1193
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 9: and that's what the SEC is going to do. Now

1194
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 9: every SEC coach just called Texas. I told just so,

1195
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 9: you shouldn't have went to Ohio State, but you did.

1196
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 9: Look what you want. That's what the committee said.

1197
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 15: Now.

1198
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 9: Second of all, another day, here's the problem. Not the

1199
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 9: playoffs are here. The bowl games are worthless and everybody

1200
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 9: noticed it. That's what another game said.

1201
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: Do you really feel that way? Do you really feel

1202
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: that way?

1203
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 6: Yes?

1204
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 9: Yes, the ball games are worthless. There's a playoff. Now.

1205
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 9: Who wants to play meaningless games when there's a playoff.

1206
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 9: So I don't like Under Dame, but I can't blame

1207
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 9: them or any other team that says.

1208
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 3: You know what, this doesn't mean anytime it's a.

1209
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 9: Playoffs or season's over.

1210
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 13: That's just I am.

1211
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is that way. It is that way. But

1212
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: if you heard my opening commentary, there have been other

1213
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: schools in the past who've gotten snuff. Florida State a

1214
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when they lost their quarterback, but

1215
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: at least they showed up and gave it an effort. Yeah,

1216
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: I lost by sixty Bama a couple of years ago.

1217
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Even Bryce sh look Okay, you've heard my piece. You

1218
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: got you got the last word here with Philip Rivers.

1219
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 9: Philip Rivers doesn't get hurt. You couldn't pick a worser

1220
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 9: defense to stick him with.

1221
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,479
Speaker 1: Oh horrible, that's so true.

1222
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 9: That's horrible. I just told you that he makes it

1223
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 9: safely out of the game, and they really protect him

1224
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 9: because the man hasn't been hitting five years.

1225
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Well that's the concern. Yes, he may get the ball

1226
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: out of his hands, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

1227
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: But you're right, when the when the bullets are flying

1228
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: and they're going one hundred miles an hour for his

1229
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: head with bad intentions, that's when we're gonna find out

1230
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: whether this is really a good idea or not. I

1231
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: appreciate you making anything else you got for us time, Bernie.

1232
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Mike. Mike from Adesco Poppy in San Diego?

1233
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: How are you, Poppy?

1234
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 11: Lookout Notre Dame. You know, I was thinking this, Bernie, like,

1235
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 11: what would Rudy would do in a situation like this,

1236
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 11: fruity Rudey like, you.

1237
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 14: Know, he would work it.

1238
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 11: He would work harding want to get in there, go

1239
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 11: and playing this bull games whatever, seconds of his life

1240
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,439
Speaker 11: do the best time of his life. But I think

1241
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 11: and he she is taling, controlling. I remember when they

1242
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 11: had that contract. I mean that's what I think. Call

1243
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 11: me crazy, Bernie, but stand and I love this Bernie.

1244
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 11: I love sorg Stander's father, Regedion breaking news.

1245
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 8: It will happen.

1246
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 11: It's like Deon meant to be there. He's better than

1247
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 11: Skansky or whatever, Dan Safansky, Right, Bernie like horrible, like

1248
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 11: I many quarterbacks that he started sitting. I think it's

1249
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 11: a setup for Dion to come in here and be

1250
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 11: the coach.

1251
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, listen. The only reason I introduced this wacky

1252
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: topic was because I happened to be listening to some

1253
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: out of town radio and the guy was doing a

1254
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: nice job, and he just threw it out there and

1255
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: he said, while you're at it, you might as well

1256
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: trade the draft pick and get the Travis center back

1257
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Look, it ain't gonna happen. I

1258
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: think we got a better chance of Gilligan zealin theme

1259
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,919
Speaker 1: song here recorded you know, by led Zeppelin and steal

1260
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: a million copies. But well, i'd like to see it,

1261
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: and you'd like to see it too. Right, you can't

1262
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: tell me what I have to see it.

1263
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, it would be.

1264
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Do you think he'd start Dylan Gabriel over his son?

1265
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: You think there's a of course, I'm kidding.

1266
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 6: So you're kiddy, you're a kiddy.

01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, all right, Philip Rivers, Uh well, yes, I'm.

Speaker 1: All right, Poppy, i'd be curious to think. Appreciate your enthusiasm.

1282
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: As always, I appreciate look, I'd be curious, uh if

1283
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: anybody started uh his playoffs. I be curious if anybody

1284
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: starting Philip Rivers on their fantasy team this week, I

1285
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: would say, uh new probably Hell no, Uh, Tyler and Hartford,

1286
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: thanks for hanging on, my man. You're up next on

1287
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: the Bernie Frattle Show.

1288
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 6: Hey, how you doing? Great show? Thanks for having me.

1289
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 6: Notre Dame.

1290
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 16: It all starts with the A D.

1291
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 6: He went on his little uh tirade on All your Guys' show.

1292
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: And go ahead.

1293
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 6: He kind of gave a bad taste in people's mouth.

1294
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 6: But they were ranked ahead of Miami, but Miami beat them.

1295
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 6: So really it's the committee's fault for everything.

1296
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 13: That's true.

1297
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Not a disagreement there. They led Notre Dame to believe

1298
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: based on the rankings they were in. That's a very

1299
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: valid point. All I'm asking is, though, when Notre Dame

1300
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: found this out an institution I respect, I've walked that CAMPU.

1301
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: It's been in many games. To do this to me,

1302
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: there serves no fruitful purpose. I don't give it damn

1303
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: what anybody says. Continue on, Tyler, you know you're right.

1304
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 6: They're acting like babies, right, no doubt, And to to

1305
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 6: punk out of their bowl game. That is a little

1306
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 6: it's a little baby ish. But in this day and age,

1307
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 6: it's not it's not as bad as it used to be. Right,

1308
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,479
Speaker 6: it doesn't feel as bad as it used Well.

1309
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: Look if wes Vimijie State did it, Okay, nothing against them,

1310
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: big fans, sort of. It's Notre Dame. Notre Dame is

1311
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of college football for multiple reasons. You think

1312
01:06:56,320 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: Rockney would have done this, No, sure would kick By's what.

1313
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 6: You're absolutely right, But I don't think there would have

1314
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 6: been a Pop Tart Bowl during his time, right, but.

1315
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't invented yet. Yeah, they weren't invented yet yet. Good,

1316
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: good point.

1317
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 6: It gives it a cheesy feeling there, you go, enough

1318
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 6: about enough about Notre Dame. They're they're just they're getting

1319
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 6: they get too much play regardless, So onto Dion beyond

1320
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 6: coaching the Browns would be good for two people. It

1321
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 6: would be good for Shade or obviously well maybe I

1322
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 6: don't know if your door would even want him as

1323
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 6: a coach, because awkward. It would be so awkward though, right, like,

1324
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 6: oh my god, that yeah, but that was in the college.

1325
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 6: This is pros it's different, but yeah, I'm sure he okay,

1326
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 6: But then it would be it would be good for

1327
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 6: the media because you guys would just have never ending

1328
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 6: stories at all. But besides that, it would be an

1329
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 6: absolute nightmare for the Browns franchise. I can't see anyone

1330
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 6: in the Browns organization or any Browns fans.

1331
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Off all right, Philip Rivers on Sunday, what was your

1332
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: need to Philip Rivers.

1333
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 6: I think I'm the only one who actually thinks Philip

1334
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 6: Rivers might actually play well today. Because when you take

1335
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 6: a step back from something and then you do it again,

1336
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 6: you have like a new perspective on it. You could

1337
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 6: like see it in a different a different light.

1338
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 11: Now.

1339
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 6: I granted it's football is a little bit different, but

1340
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 6: I feel like he's gonna play well just for this game,

1341
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 6: like I don't know about the rest of the season.

1342
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 6: And also another another thing no one's really talking about

1343
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 6: is I know how this sets back his Hall of

1344
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 6: Fame trance to get in another five years, but it

1345
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 6: also sets back his medical benefits for the NFL.

1346
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: Right now, you get no, I don't think so. I

1347
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: don't think so. I'll have to look that up. You

1348
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: bring up a couple of interesting points. They actually he

1349
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: renews his medical benefits since he signed, he acts to

1350
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 1: his days of service. But you bring up a good point.

1351
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: But he's got he's got money, so I don't know

1352
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: that that's an issue. Yeah, it's either way.

1353
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 6: He'll be fine. But he does that ten kids, so

1354
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 6: that he does, he does, he does.

1355
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 12: Thanks for the show.

1356
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 6: Keep up nice work. Thank you very much.

1357
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: Thanks Tyler. Hey Rick down in Louisiana. How have you

1358
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: been my friend?

1359
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 13: Hey, I'm doing well. How about yourself? Well, thank you, sir,

1360
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 13: thank you, thanks for taking a call. First one, as

1361
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 13: far as know their dame is concerned, I think they

1362
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 13: need two bills, one an a ACC bill and an

1363
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 13: SEC b if they questioned why they didn't get in.

1364
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,560
Speaker 13: I just think that they need to put some ACC.

1365
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 13: They need to join the ACC, which I've heard that

1366
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 13: this week that they're not in football. And I also

1367
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 13: think they should play some SEC teams. I think that'll

1368
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 13: separate some things from Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

1369
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna address them not joining a conversator continue on Rick.

1370
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 13: Okay. Secondly, as far as beyond, I think that it

1371
01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:02,759
Speaker 13: would make a good story and initially but his first.

1372
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 3: Day on the job.

1373
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 13: Hey, how you doing, Deyon? I'm Deshaun Watson, and that

1374
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 13: that contract isn't going anywhere. So his intention to coach

1375
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,600
Speaker 13: your son is that was the case, that that opportunity

1376
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 13: present it ship, Deshaun Watson isn't going anywhere.

1377
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: It's it's just whimsical radio fun we're having here tonight.

1378
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a one in a thousand, right,

1379
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: I just but if people would like to see it. Look,

1380
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. I can't name them right now,

1381
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: but I know they have. So anyway, what are your

1382
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: thoughts Rick on now? What you know? What was your

1383
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction when you heard that Philip Rivers was

1384
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,839
Speaker 1: not only signed practicing but starting Sunday?

1385
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 13: Well, I hope, I hope it goes well for you know,

1386
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 13: I think that the way the NFL is set up,

1387
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 13: it protects the quarterbacks. Now, but steal, we'll know once

1388
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 13: you take.

1389
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: That first hit and that's that's it, baby, that's it

1390
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 1: right there, Rick.

1391
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 13: We don't want to see a comeback for next week,

1392
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 13: so that'll be interesting to see. So that's all I ask.

1393
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Joy your weekend, Rick, appreciate you. Let's get one more

1394
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: in here, John and Maine. Welcome into the Bernie Frowder Show.

1395
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 3: How are you, hey, Bernie, great show tonight, Thank you.

1396
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 3: I'll keep it short and sweet.

1397
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: Notre dame.

1398
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 3: I think whoever made that decision to not go to

1399
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 3: the Bowl game should get fired because believe.

1400
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: It was their adther bvaqua.

1401
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 3: But go ahead, Okay, he's gone because it's like, look

1402
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 3: out for the players, not you know, and the organization,

1403
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 3: not yourself, just because you gotta bend out of shape

1404
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 3: because you didn't like the way things went.

1405
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't.

1406
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 3: I don't agree with the way things wind either, but hey,

1407
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 3: it is what it is.

1408
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 8: Definitely.

1409
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 14: Uh.

1410
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 3: The which was the second subject.

1411
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders. I heard, I heard out of town. Ready, Yes,

1412
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,560
Speaker 1: he coached the Browns. Next you would like to see that?

1413
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,919
Speaker 3: Not really? Well sure, I mean Cleveland's been a circus

1414
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 3: for many years anyway, so might as well add one

1415
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 3: more clown to the show, I guess. And as far

1416
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 3: as Philip Rivers, all I can say is I can

1417
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 3: pretty much guarantee that the opposing defense when Philip Rivers

1418
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 3: is on the field, you are not going to hear

1419
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 3: the announcers saying the defense has two deep safeties.

1420

01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: that's been. Reported they felt their season deserved better than

1463
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: a mid tier bowl game like The Pop Tarts bowl

1464
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: after missing the twelve team. Committee and they said it

1465
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: was a whole team. Decision the reason they made a

1466
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: decision because it wouldn't be a good representation yadi, YadA

1467
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,679
Speaker 1: yah blah blah, blah fortune cookie wisdom and course ad

Speaker 1: P povakuan and the staff to support of the player's.

1469
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Decision who's in charge? Here the players don't run the,

1470
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 1: team you, know damn, well they don't run the. Team,

1471
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: YES i get. It it. Hurts The irish were left

1472
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: out of the, playoff losing a potential spot to Teams

1473
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: alabama And. Miami AND i said last, week at this,

1474
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: time one of the three is getting. OUT i, SAID

1475
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,560
Speaker 1: i thought Both Notre dame And miami would get. In

1476
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: That i've never seen a three loss team get. In

1477
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: And i've never seen a team who lost head to

1478
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: head to a team highly ranked had the team that

1479
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: lost get in and the team who won left. Out

1480
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: SO i Believe miami was. In BUT i also thought

1481
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 1: Both Notre dame And miami would be In, Well alabama's

1482
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: strength to record was forty. Fourth did you know? That?

1483
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah and, oh by the, way check That. Alabama i'm confusing.

1484
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: Myself alabama's strength to record was. Fourth Notre dames was forty.

1485
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: FOURTH i, mean if you really want to dive into, This,

1486
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: okay The College Football Playoff committee's written, guidelines they do

1487
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: it this, way strength to, schedule head to, head and

1488
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: comparative outcomes of common. Opponents so let's compare, them all.

1489
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: Right miamis strength to schedule was forty. Fourth Notre dames

1490
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: is forty. Fifth pretty. Comparable both of them played four common.

1491
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: Opponents both Were oh that's. Comparable, Now miami actually had

1492
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: a better margin of victory against those common, opponents more

1493
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: Than Notre dame and three to. Four the committee does

1494
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: not have that as part of their. Criteria But i'm

1495
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 1: just throwing it out. There but the biggest thing that

1496
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: the committee has always, said and who, knows, LISTEN i

1497
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: know it's not it's an embarrassing. Process i'm not arguing that,

1498
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: point but, hell Beat miami on the field When i'm

1499
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: having this. Conversation, sorry but the bottom line is the

1500
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 1: head to head, Again miami has that Over Notre. Dame

1501
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 1: nothing no they can do about. That their pissed off,

1502
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 1: WITHNESS i know that's not a, word should have nothing

1503
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: to do with the committee's actual. Decision Is it's Clear

1504
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: miami was going to get the not Over Notre, dame

1505
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: and the idea of there is this conspiracy Of miami

1506
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: Over Notre dame because of conference affiliation is. LAUGHABLE i

1507
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: don't Blame Notre dame for wanting to be in a.

1508
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: CONFERENCE i lived In Big ten country for seventeen, years

1509
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: covered The Michigan wolverines for. Fourteen Notre dame stubbed The

1510
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: Big ten in the. FIFTIES i don't blame. Them that's they're.

1511
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: Right they snubbed him again right before nineteen ninety. Four

1512
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: they are an, independent highly. Reputable they create their own,

1513
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: schedule usually a pretty tough, one and they like the

1514
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: fact that they know they can dictate their own terms

1515
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: as it. Were, again had they just beaten Either TEXAS

1516
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 1: a and m and Or miami and had one, loss

1517
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: preferably Over, miami well they would have got. In they played,

1518
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: Okay so now let's Compare Alabama Notre. Dame see the

1519
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: committee has a written. Protocol when you compare similar teams like,

1520
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: that head to head doesn't, apply but outcome of common

1521
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: opponents doesn't. Apply so what's left strength to? SCHEDULE i

1522
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: want to go back to. It alabama's strength to schedule,

1523
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:50,560
Speaker 1: Fifth Notre dame's forty. Fifth so the committee in this

1524
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: case ironically followed its official protocol when you had those

1525
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: three similar. TEAMS i Understand Notre dame is. Upset they

1526
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: felt that the committee's mid season rankings led them to

1527
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 1: believe they were. In that's. True this is where the problem.

1528
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: Lies you got to have this, wacky whack JOB tv

1529
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: show Every tuesday. Night why we don't need it, anymore

1530
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: or if you going to have, it make it more,

1531
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: credible because, it in retrospect wasn't. Credible the, committee not the,

1532
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: committee but the WEEKLY tv show Led Notre dame to

1533
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: believe they were. In but the committee ironically ended up

1534
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: following their own, protocol even though their protocol, stinks and

1535
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: all this stuff was supposed to be decided on the.

1536
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: Field but, ironically you have even more subjectivity now that

1537
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: you let twelve teams in than before when you only

1538
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 1: had four, teams or when you had only two teams

1539
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 1: in so, LOOK i understand it was allegedly a collective

1540
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 1: decision by the players backed by, Leader but who the

1541
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 1: hell's in charge? Here let's show? Up what do you,

1542

Speaker 1: hey guys want to? Practiciate you want to go jump

1543
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,400

01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 16: mean we don't get the same incentive of five hundred

1562
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 16: thousand dollars these. Player does that win?

1563
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 3: It But i've been loving the.

1564
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 6: Competition, well you, know there's an irony.

1565
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: HERE i feel like there's less buzz this year in

1566
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: the three years that they've had THE Nba. Cup but

1567
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 1: it's from the reports i'm, reading it's very lucrative and

1568
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: it's here to. Stay And i'm glad you mentioned the

1569
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty thousand per man because that's exactly

1570
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: what The lakers left on the table the other night

1571
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: Without Victor webbinyama right their twenty seventh ranked, defense well

1572
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: now they've lost three out of. Five their bench got outs.

1573
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: Eighteen The spurs put on a clinic by attacking The lakers'.

1574
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Weaknesses AND i don't want to list them all BECAUSE

1575
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: i want you to do the. Talking BUT i had

1576
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: several takeaways from that. Game did you have Any?

1577
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 16: OH i had a.

1578
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 13: Lot you.

1579
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 16: Know the caveat is The spurs are a respectable team

1580
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 16: even Without victor Wan. Baniyama they went nine to three

1581
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 16: during his, absence and this is a team that is

1582
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 16: on the. Rise they have a good blend of veteran

1583
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 16: Players Tiaron, Fox Harrison barnes with some good young talent

1584
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 16: And Dylan harper And Stefan. Castle but that caveat. ASIDE

1585
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 16: i think what showed with The lakers is that they're

1586
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 16: a very, very very very very bad defensive, team and

1587
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 16: they exposed that at the beginning of the. Season it

1588
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 16: didn't matter as much because they Have Luka, Doncic Austin

1589
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 16: reeves playing like An All. Star they have so much offensive,

1590
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,679
Speaker 16: firepower but at some point you got to make defensive,

1591
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 16: stops and when you're making so many costly, turnovers it's

1592
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:00,919
Speaker 16: really tough to get back on transition.

1593
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 13: Defense so that game was.

1594
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 16: So bad for that part that JJ. E riddick's eve

1595
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 16: been talking, about you, know making wholesale lineup and rotation

1596
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 16: changes and even entertaining the idea That Jared voonnerbilt will

1597
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 16: finally get some play after getting a handful of d,

1598
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 16: MPs because he, concluded you know, what his bad three

1599
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 16: points shooting and four spacing just isn't worth, it even

1600
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 16: if he's a good defensive.

1601
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: Player you covered a lot of good ground. There look The,

1602
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: Lakers frank The luke scattershot on? Defense did The spurs

1603
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: shot forty five percent behind the, arc but when they

1604
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: weren't shooting three as their dribble penetration, was it looked

1605
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: like they were playing A jv team they. Had as a,

1606
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 1: result they had thirteen more free. Throws but let me

1607
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 1: tell you my biggest. Takeaway The spurs had twenty seven

1608
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 1: fast break points and BY Jj redick's own, admission, cool

1609
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: they ran rough shot over The lakers in. Transition that's

1610
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: a problem because The lakers looked old and The spurs looked.

1611
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,679
Speaker 16: Young yeah and. YEAH i was talking to Gave vincent

1612
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 16: the a few days ago actually before The spurs, game

1613
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 16: and he's had his, own you, know challenges with being

1614
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 16: a role player and Having Hotter colt shooting units coming

1615
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 16: off an. Injury but the one key point that he

1616
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,679
Speaker 16: was making is something that several in The lakers organization

1617
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 16: have been making as, well that they need to be

1618
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 16: a more, physical physically defensive, team And Marcus smart has

1619
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 16: done a really good job with. That but there's been

1620
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 16: a few problems. HERE a he missed significant time because

1621
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 16: of some. Injuries be he's only one, player and see

1622
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 16: he isn't in the starting. LINEUP i think, that you,

1623
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 16: know he's been a game changer when he's coming off the.

1624
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 16: Bench but you, KNOW i THINK jj reddick evaluation of

1625
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 16: going with so much offensive at fire, POWER i get.

1626
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 16: It at the same, time it's kind of backfired on

1627
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 16: him these last few, games SO i want to be

1628
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 16: surprised it's Like Marcus smart is back in the starting

1629
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,759
Speaker 16: lineup pretty, soon because again he's really the only player

1630
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 16: as well as K caveens And break in a lot

1631
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 16: of consistent physicality on. Defense but you, know they need

1632
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 16: to have much more defensive presence than just two good role.

1633
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 8: Players AND i have to eat.

1634
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,600
Speaker 1: THIS i said at the beginning of the season a

1635
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, before AND i thought The lakers will

1636
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,600
Speaker 1: go forty to and. Forty SO i can't back off of.

1637
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: That AND i can't Eat crow yet BECAUSE i think

1638
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: they're going to flame out in the. Playoffs some of

1639
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,560
Speaker 1: these teams look better to.

1640
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 3: Me.

1641
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: Now one quick last thing about The. Lakers they Visit

1642
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: phoenix later on, tonight try to avenge a seventeen point

1643
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 1: loss at. HOME i was at a one Off luke

1644
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,040
Speaker 1: or the fact that The lakers have lost three to.

1645
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 1: Five you, know it's only one, game but you start

1646
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: to stack these things. Up do you think they're in

1647
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:42,560
Speaker 1: trouble In?

1648
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 3: Phoenix, Annay, No, no this isn't a one Off.

1649
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 16: Fluke The Phoenix suns are the real. DEAL i, Mean Devin,

1650
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 16: booker we've known he's a great two Way All star caliber.

1651
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 16: Player But Dylan brooks is going to get up for

1652
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 16: The lakers because he always does Against Lebron. James he's

1653
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 16: been not only bringing To Dylan brooks familiar style of

1654
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 16: trash talking and these events of, intensity but he's been

1655
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:07,679
Speaker 16: a lot more of a consistent. Score Colin jenness Jill

1656
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 16: espie has been light out three point shooting. Shooter and you,

1657
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 16: know The lakers might fault themselves for leaving them open a,

1658
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 16: lot BUT i, know you, know talking to people with The,

1659
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 16: suns talking With, colin he's someone that really does a

1660
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 16: good job with playing off Of Devin, booker playing on

1661
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 16: and off the, ball and he has a very consistent

1662
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 16: shooting routine that you, know his early season success is

1663
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 16: not just lighting a.

1664
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 8: Bottle this is.

1665
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 16: Sustainable so you, know as far as The suns, go

1666
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 16: where they, meet where they are in The Western, conference

1667
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 16: you know there's seventh right. NOW i don't see them

1668
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 16: as a. Contender but as far as short term or

1669
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 16: are they dangerous to The? Lakers the yes in all capital.

1670
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Letters now you analyze that. Perfectly and they actually have some.

1671
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: DEPTH i believe they've got like eight players averaging double.

1672
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 1: Digits so this is not a bad basketball. Team AND

1673
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 1: i don't know that The lakers have the depth they

1674
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 1: think they. Want LIKE i, said their benches on score

1675
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: by eighteen the other night In San antonio And wenby

1676
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 1: did even play so point duly. Noted how about Those

1677
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: New York. Knicks all of a, sudden they're certainly making

1678
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 1: me stand up and take. NOTICE i, think you, know

1679
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to project too far ahead their number

1680
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 1: two position in The, east but they've won nine to,

1681
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 1: ten and they're rounding into shape with their new, coach

1682
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: and they're almost impossible to beat at. Home The east

1683
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 1: isn't quite as bad as we. Thought boston's acquitted, themselves,

1684
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: Well Sol's, Philadelphia, Orlando, toronto of, course you know The

1685
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: pistons In. Cleveland your thoughts on how much of a

1686
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: threat Did nicks are to actually get to THE Nba

1687
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: finals this.

1688
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,680
Speaker 16: Year, oh The knicks are legitimates for. THREAT i, mean

1689
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 16: we have to keep in mind they got to The

1690
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 16: Eastern conference finals last year and they ran to a

1691
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 16: buzzsall with The Indiana. Pacers And Tom thibodeau is a

1692
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 16: good head, coach But Mike brown's all still very good head.

1693
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 16: Coach and they have their core. INTACT i, Mean Jalen.

1694
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 16: Brunson there's a reason why he was GETTING mvp chants

1695
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 16: tonight In vegas because he dropped forty points even though he's.

1696
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 16: Undersize he's very good at koreating his, Shot korean, separation

1697
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 16: playing through double. Teams his chemistry With Carol Anthony, towns,

1698
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 16: yeah has taken up another. Notch and they just have

1699
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 16: continuity across the.

1700
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 2: Board you, know they Have.

1701
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:26,679
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony.

1702
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 16: Towns there's a lot of questions about can he consistently

1703
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 16: stay out of foul? Trouble what about him on? Defense

1704
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:34,879
Speaker 16: but his offense is great and he's not worried about individual,

1705
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:38,760
Speaker 16: touches so he can he can carry a team, offensively

1706
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:41,560
Speaker 16: but he can gladly coexist well At Jalen. Brunson but

1707
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 16: they also have all these critical supporting cast players Mckel

1708
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 16: bridges being that wing, Defender ognon And obi kind of

1709
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:53,799
Speaker 16: being a do it all two way, Player Josh, hart spark,

1710
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 16: Plug Jordan. Clarkson you, know he might have deficiencies, defensively

1711
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 16: but he is great on, offense instant offense whenever he

1712
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 16: gets off the gets off the bench. Here so they

1713
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 16: have a really good nucleus and it is early AND

1714
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:13,839
Speaker 16: i hate to SAY Nba Cup finals games have playoff

1715
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:17,560
Speaker 16: implications because the two winners so, far The lakers in

1716
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 16: twenty twenty. Three you, know in The bucks last year

1717
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,720
Speaker 16: they all lost in the first. Round but you, know

1718
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 16: they have a good thing. Going and because of some

1719
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 16: of the question marks with some of the Other Eastern

1720
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 16: conference teams With, milwaukee, Yeah boston's not a, doormap but

1721
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 16: they're not. Contender In, indiana it's really wide open for

1722
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 16: them to take.

1723
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: It they're averaging one hundred and twenty one points a,

1724
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 1: game which is best in The, east and as a

1725
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 1: matter of, fact Only Oklahoma city And denver in the

1726
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 1: ENTIRE nba are averaging. More he played little defense. Too

1727
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 1: to your point About Karl Anthony, Towns he's averaging twenty

1728
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 1: two and twelve with double, Double SO i think they're

1729
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:58,639
Speaker 1: they're for. Real twenty five games into the, season they're

1730
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 1: over twenty five percent of the. Season you kind of

1731
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 1: know what you, have AND i think The knicks have

1732
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: really really shown me a.

1733
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 16: Lot, yeah and this has a lot of credit to

1734
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 16: do with the fact that they have good. Talent they

1735
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 16: have all Two all starcler players And Bronston kat they have.

1736
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:16,040
Speaker 16: Connuity But Mike brown's a really good head, coach AND

1737
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 16: i think what we've, seen, frankly ever since he joined

1738
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 16: The Sacramento kings is he's evolved as a coach a

1739
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 16: lot of times he was doing earlier in his career

1740
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 16: as a defensive mastermind but offensive playbook very. Limited he's

1741
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 16: been a lot more, innovative and he's always about ever

1742
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 16: since joining The kings and overseeing that, team he wants

1743
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:40,679
Speaker 16: their offense to play at a fast. Pace he doesn't

1744
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:44,599
Speaker 16: want this to be applouting half court movement and you're

1745
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:46,760
Speaker 16: not able to create a lot of easy baskets that.

1746
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 16: Way so his calling cards, defense and they have the

1747
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 16: grittiness and some personnel on the team to make that.

1748
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,760
Speaker 16: Happen but once they get, stops it's all about gain

1749
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 16: on the open floor and trying to be as efficient

1750
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:00,160
Speaker 16: as possible.

1751
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: There Talking Mark, medina OUR nba, Guru Fox Sports radio

1752
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 1: and essentially sports All. RIGHT i tossed this out there last.

1753
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Week Could Anthony davis be? TRADED i think it's picked

1754
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 1: up quite a, steam but a steam in just a.

1755
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 1: Week it's being reported now there are a couple three

1756
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 1: four teams that have raised their, hand including The Detroit,

1757
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: pistons who have interest In Anthony. Davis do you Think

1758
01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:30,880
Speaker 1: Anthony davis is more likely to be traded yes or

1759
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 1: no in the next thirty days or ninety?

1760
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 16: Days, YEAH i think the simple Answers it depends on

1761
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 16: what The mavericks record. Is if they still have a

1762
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,719
Speaker 16: shot at sneaking in the playoffs even through the, PLAN

1763
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 16: i don't think that they blow it. Up if they,

1764
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 16: do THEN i think that they're going to start over

1765
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,759
Speaker 16: for square one and just try to build Around cooper.

1766
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 16: Flag and right now ten to sixteen record is not,

1767
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 16: good but they've won two in a. Row they've kind

1768
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,760
Speaker 16: of turned a corner relatively, speaking and they're tenth in The.

1769
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 16: West and what does that mean right? Now, hey they

1770
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 16: still have a shot to make it through the. PLAN

1771
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 16: i think the other, thing even Though i've heard from

1772
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 16: some folks around the league that they do Think Anthony

1773
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:15,759
Speaker 16: davis ultimately gets, traded they're also on a depressed trade

1774
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,640
Speaker 16: market with him because of his injury, history and they

1775
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 16: know that there's a feeling That dallas are going to be.

1776
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 16: Sellers and it's the same idea when you're having a garage,

1777
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 16: sale you usually don't get a big mudge of. Profit

1778
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 16: it's about just getting rid of all the parts. Here

1779
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 16: so IF i had to, GUESS i hear the scuttle,

1780
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 16: bud BUT i think that he actually winds up stained

1781
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:43,720
Speaker 16: at least this, season only because mathematically, speaking they might

1782
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 16: be on the outside looking, in but they're not going

1783
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 16: to be quite bad enough by the trade deadline that

1784
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 16: they're In New Orleans pelicans territory, Here SO i think

1785
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 16: he stays for the rest of the season and then

1786
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 16: all bets are off this upcoming. Summer here's one.

1787
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 1: Thing we haven't broached. Though On august, Sixth Anthony davis

1788
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: is eligible to sign a four, year two hundred and

1789
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollar, extension which means at the right

1790
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 1: page of thirty, seven you'd be paying him seventy six

1791
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 1: million dollars per. Season so it's it's really a high

1792
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 1: stakes poker game here because you don't wish injuries on.

1793
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 1: Anybody but if passes, Prologue Anthony davis gets, Injured so

1794
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:27,560
Speaker 1: god forbid he gets. Injured The mavericks wait until the,

1795
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 1: summer but that lowers his trade value quite a bit

1796
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:33,760
Speaker 1: if he has another, Injury so maybe you just get

1797
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:35,640
Speaker 1: out a doctor for the trade, deadline see what you

1798
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:38,960
Speaker 1: can get. Back or If davis declines his sixty two

1799
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: million dollar player, option then he becomes an unrestricted free

1800
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 1: agent the following. Year, anyway so his TIME i think

1801
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 1: had shortened downas anyway he slanks.

1802
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 16: It, YEAH i think the way that you outline, This,

1803
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 16: bernie is that The mavericks are having to be in

1804
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 16: a position to choose the best of bad. Options, yes

1805
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 16: and so that's very. Precarious If I'm Anthony, davis knowing

1806
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 16: the injury, HISTORY i do the player, option take the

1807
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,639
Speaker 16: money because it buys you another, year BECAUSE i don't

1808
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 16: think that he's going to make that kind of money

1809
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 16: moving forward because he's no longer on The. Lakers he

1810
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:16,760
Speaker 16: has hasn't shown a consistent track record being able to

1811
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,720
Speaker 16: carry a team, here but you, know all bets are.

1812
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 16: OFF i think the other thing again we have to

1813
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 16: keep in mind is even if practically speaking with you

1814
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:29,240
Speaker 16: outline is, True, yeah how about The MAVs trade just

1815
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 16: to get ahead of the curve. Here they're at a

1816
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 16: depressed market as, well this upcoming trade deadline. Again so

1817
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:38,800
Speaker 16: the other thing THAT i think that they might have

1818
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 16: some mental gymnastics over is just this idea that, hey

1819
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 16: if they still have a shot and make it through

1820
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 16: the plan tournament or the, playoffs it's hard for them to,

1821
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,840
Speaker 16: say you know, what let's start all over again less

1822
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 16: than a year after you, know Trading luca. Doctics so

1823
01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:59,760
Speaker 16: they're in a serious issue right. NOW a lot of

1824
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:02,240
Speaker 16: me that they created themselves and now they have to

1825
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 16: somehow coin it. Up but it requires a lot of

1826
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 16: tough and honestly bad choices they have to make moving.

1827
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 1: Forward so we appered up with a quote from the

1828
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: legend known As Angel, reese who recently said on a

1829
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 1: podcast that quote the in THE wnba players track won't

1830
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: last long because fans would realize just how dull life

1831
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 1: is without. Them what else are they going to? Do

1832
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: if we don't play and of, course, yeah, well let's

1833
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: look at the. Reality they just they meaning the union

1834
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:41,640
Speaker 1: and the management or the ownership, group just extended the

1835
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 1: deadline From november, thirtieth which is already extended once Until january. Ninth,

1836
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 1: okay players are asking for a lot increased salaries, revenue

1837
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 1: and it's been characterized by the executive, committee Including Kelsey

1838
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: plumb that so, far quote the the negotiations have been

1839
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:05,400
Speaker 1: disheartening and frustrating and the lack of. Progress what do

1840
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 1: you think is going to happen? Here let's put on

1841
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:11,320
Speaker 1: our prediction. Cap does it still Past january? Ninth and if? So?

1842
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Uh could could there be a?

1843
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:18,479
Speaker 16: WORKSTOPIC i don't think it gets passed Through january. Nineteen

1844
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 16: NOW i did laugh at your you, know Relaying Angel

1845
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 16: reese's comment on what are fans going to? Do, well

1846
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 16: it's W nba seasons in the spring of the. SUMMER

1847
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 16: i think there's a lot of things people can. Do

1848
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,439
Speaker 16: BUT i will validate, that you, know there is a strong.

1849
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 16: Interest when you look at the, financials the viewership in

1850
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,800
Speaker 16: women's basketball a lot better than it was. Before that's

1851
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 16: not to say it's on par with THE NFL, Nba

1852
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 16: Major League. Baseball but there is a market for. It

1853
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 16: and given, that even though you know both sides have

1854
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:56,080
Speaker 16: reasonable thoughts on what's equitable fair from a business, STANDPOINT

1855
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 16: i don't think either side is going to allow. Us

1856
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 16: he gets the point that there's a work, stoppage because

1857
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 16: then you're dealing with out of, sight out of, mind

1858
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,839
Speaker 16: losing the momentum of all this interest that has finally

1859
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 16: happened to the league after you for a, while since its,

1860
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 16: exception it was considered an, afterthought and SO i don't

1861
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 16: think that they want to squander all. That so it's

1862
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 16: easy to negotiate right now when there's no actual, consequences

1863
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 16: and they do enough time before an actual. DEADLINE i

1864
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:27,679
Speaker 16: don't think it gets pass That january N it's, deadline,

1865
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:28,840
Speaker 16: though all, right we'll.

1866
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 1: SEE i think there's a lot of obstinacy among the players'

1867
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: union and a delusion BECAUSE i think a lot's been.

1868
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 1: Offered they're talking about salary's as ceiling being like one

1869
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:44,400
Speaker 1: point two million what for forty, games and really they

1870
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,080
Speaker 1: lost leg money for thirty. Years i'm not arguing with,

1871
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 1: You i'm just wondering what would be the impetus behind

1872
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 1: that deadline being. MET i don't think the owners are

1873
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:56,560
Speaker 1: going to cave and the player's going to. Cave and

1874
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: maybe that's not the proper. Word is there perhaps a

1875
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 1: happy Media maybe if you looked at the.

1876
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 16: Mechanics, YEAH i think that there is a happy medium

1877
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 16: here because that number is certainly higher than that we

1878
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 16: used to be. Before you, know some of the top

1879
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:15,000
Speaker 16: of league players were barely making six, figures which you,

1880
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,880
Speaker 16: know it's good, money but compared to other professional, leagues

1881
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 16: it's far from. That BUT i think you have to

1882
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 16: look at the total revenue. Here that's the key. Here

1883
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 16: how much money is the league? Making AND i think

1884
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 16: it was always a fair conversation we had in the

1885
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:35,040
Speaker 16: previous era of you, know when they were being subsidized

1886
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:38,080
Speaker 16: by THE, Nba, okay these teams actually making a profit or.

1887
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 16: Not now they are making a, profit most notably because

1888
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 16: they negotiate these NEW tv rights. Deals and SO i

1889
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 16: think with that it is understandable for the players to

1890
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 16: all of a sudden, say you know, what like we've

1891
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 16: seen growth in the, league we got to make sure

1892
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:57,759
Speaker 16: that proportionally the pie is being distributed the way it should.

1893
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,559
Speaker 16: Be so that's what we have to keep been lyned

1894
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 16: here when you're keep in mind, here when you're listening

1895
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:06,839
Speaker 16: to rhetoric from both ownership in the league and the players,

1896
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:11,000
Speaker 16: union it's about the percentages of the. Revenue it's not

1897
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:15,280
Speaker 16: about what seems like a decent number on the ownership

1898
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:17,880
Speaker 16: side or the player. Side but you, know when it

1899
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:19,960
Speaker 16: comes to, that a lot of that is a gray.

1900
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 16: Area because these are privately held, leagues you don't quite

1901
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 16: know what the actual numbers. Are but given all, that,

1902
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 16: AGAIN i don't think that either side is going to

1903
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 16: allow it to the point that they lose any all

1904
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:36,600
Speaker 16: of it or partial to this season because they know

1905
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 16: the value of momentum and the attention economy that we're.

1906
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: In that's that's perfect deductive. Reasoning and we'll see if

1907
01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,760
Speaker 1: cooler has. Prevailed So, mark good. Stuff as, always we

1908
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 1: will see what the media news cycle brings us before

Speaker 1: Time expectations for, everybody Right, well the future has a

1936
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 1: way of arriving ahead of. Schedule when it comes to,

1937
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: expectations just as The Kansas City, chiefs they were expecting

1938
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:26,639
Speaker 1: a fourth Straight Super bowl, appearance nothing less. Reality after

1939
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 1: losing it home To houston twenty to ten last, Week

1940
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: chiefs are now six to. Seven that's reality no one.

1941
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:39,679
Speaker 1: Expected per the, simulator they have about a fifteen percent

1942
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: chance to make the. PLAYOFFS i don't think they're going

1943
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 1: to do. It how about the expectations for The colts?

1944
01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:50,400
Speaker 1: Preseason minimal hope is not a. Strategy then you skyrocket

1945
01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: after a seven to one start With Daniel jones under,

1946
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 1: center Super bowl, talk even a massive contract For. Jones,

1947
01:41:56,479 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 1: reality The colts have now lost three or. Four they're

1948
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,160
Speaker 1: likely to miss the postseason. Entirely Poor Daniel jones out

1949
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 1: for the season after An achilles'. Injury they lose to

1950
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 1: The jaguars thirty six to nineteen last, week and if he's,

1951
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 1: done As James boyd, Wrote indy probably is. Two remember

1952
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 1: when this team traded two first round picks For Soft

1953
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: gardner at the trade? Deadline oh my, goodness they had.

1954
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 1: Expectations could you blame? Him how about The, ravens The,

1955
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 1: commanders The, Buccaneers, falcons all of them expected to make

1956
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:32,759
Speaker 1: the Postseason, Baltimore washington In Tampa. Bay they had realistic

1957
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 1: dreams of making perhaps the conference. Championship the reality all

1958
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 1: four on the. Out The commanders are three and. Ten

1959
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,559
Speaker 1: The falcons are four and. Nine they're long. Gone they

1960
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:46,360
Speaker 1: both lost in devastating fashion last. Week falcons rebounded crazily

1961
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 1: against those Very. Buccaneers now The buccaneers are now seven and.

1962
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 1: Seven look they've been upset by. This The, ravens forget.

1963
01:42:54,320 --> 01:42:56,559
Speaker 1: It i'm not buying them. Either they're six and. Seven

1964
01:42:56,720 --> 01:43:00,360
Speaker 1: we shall. See but speaking of other types of. Expertsations

1965
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: by the, way a little bit, later about twenty minutes from,

1966
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:06,479
Speaker 1: now fifteen minutes from, now there was always talk about

1967

1984
01:43:57,400 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 18: it is a pivotal, Week Like bernie, said the quarterfinals

1985
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 18: for most leagues and semi finals for other, leagues depending

1986
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,879
Speaker 18: on you, know if you have two week matchups or. Whatnot,

1987
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,599
Speaker 18: obviously hopefully nobody is playing in week eight you, know week,

1988
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,720
Speaker 18: eighteen because players will. Sit but let's get into the

1989
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 18: pivotal sit start. Suggestions And i'm going to start with

1990
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 18: one THAT i think maybe obvious for some people that

1991
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:24,800
Speaker 18: have been very into fantasy football this, year but maybe

1992
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:27,479
Speaker 18: people are surprised by, This But Wandale robinson is a

1993
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 18: lock and start Against washington's twenty ninth ranked pass defense

1994
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,840
Speaker 18: two hundred and forty six point nine yards per game

1995
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 18: they give up against the. Pass Wandale robinson's actually top

1996
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 18: fifteen in receiving yards this. Season somebody's got to catch those.

1997
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,840
Speaker 18: PASSES i do Believe wandale has one of his best

1998
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 18: games all the, year and he just missed my top twelve.

1999
01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 18: Rankings Michael wilson's another GUY i, like but he has

2000
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 18: a brutal. Matchup Michael wilson looks Like Jerry. Rice When

2001
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:57,960
Speaker 18: Marvin Harrison junior's, Out it's like, ridiculous how much how

2002
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:01,799
Speaker 18: Many fantasy points He but he's going up Against houston's

2003
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 18: third ranked. DEFENSE i still trust him Because Marvin Harrison

2004
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:08,360
Speaker 18: junior is out, AGAIN i would go with the usage

2005
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:11,760
Speaker 18: and the volume over. Everything volume is, king and you

2006
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 18: just know That Michael, wilson even against The houston defense

2007
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 18: that is, elite is going to get ten to fifteen.

2008
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 18: Targets we're gonna stay with receivers Here z Eight flowers

2009
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:22,719
Speaker 18: is a really great start this week against the thirty

2010
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 18: first Ranked Cincinnati bengals pass. DEFENSE i, Mean Lamar, jackson

2011
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 18: if he doesn't have a good game in this, Game

2012
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 18: i've lost hope For Lamar. Jackson he must be, injured

2013
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 18: you but go on to next. SEASON i actually Think

2014
01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 18: cincinnati wins this. Game that might shock people that doesn't really.

2015
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:40,439
Speaker 18: Matter BUT i do think That Jay flowers can still

2016
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:42,719
Speaker 18: have a pretty big game even if they, lose because

2017
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 18: if they're, down they're just gonna throw the football more,

2018
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 18: anyways AND i do expect The bengals to come out

2019
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 18: Gunning tedroe McMillan's another lock in start this. Week New

2020
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:52,680
Speaker 18: orleans does have a really good pass, defense, though LIKE

2021
01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 18: i feel like they're kind of disrespected six against the,

2022
01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:57,360
Speaker 18: pass only one hundred and eighty two point six yards

2023
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 18: given up per, game and a, Reminder tedro McMillan did

2024
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 18: not even reach fifteen fantasy points the last time he

2025
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 18: played The.

2026
01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 19: Saints AND i still Like Bryce.

2027
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,400
Speaker 18: YOUNG i still Like terroo McMillan against The saints to

2028
01:46:09,439 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 18: have a big bounce back. Performance and we're gonna stay

2029
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,720
Speaker 18: on receivers just a few more here before we get

2030
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 18: into running. BACKS i like Courtland ston against Green. Bay

2031
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 18: Green bay has a good pass, defense but Cortland sun

2032
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 18: has proven the last few Weeks bonix and himf got

2033
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 18: their connection back. Together The Troy franklin five week period is.

2034
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 18: Over he hasn't gotten targets in. Weeks pat bryanskins some.

2035
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 18: Snaps i'd be more worried About Jordan love in this

2036
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:37,479
Speaker 18: game Than, bonix and that's crazy to, say But denver's

2037
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:42,200
Speaker 18: defense is so. Elite i'm very worried about playing Any packers,

2038
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 18: receivers which is WHY i Think Romeo dobbs is a.

2039
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 18: SIT i Think Christian watson's a, sit especially With jayden.

2040
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,479
Speaker 18: Reidback those are two sits in that game. Specifically, now

2041
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 18: let's go To Philip rivers with some sits. Here clear,

2042
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:57,559
Speaker 18: Look Michael bimman is a sit in Al pearce's sit

2043
01:46:57,840 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 18: UNTIL i see it with my own. Eyes Philip rivers

2044
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 18: dominating in AN nfl game against an elite. Defense i'm

2045
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,799
Speaker 18: not starting, anybody but they might get some garbage stats

2046
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 18: Because indianapolis should be down the entire. Game let's go

2047
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 18: to running backs, now because running backs has been the

2048
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:15,240
Speaker 18: position THAT i feel like there's only been fifteen that

2049
01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 18: have been really good all, year and then the rest

2050
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:20,280
Speaker 18: is our dart. THROWS i would Sit Josh shakups if he.

2051
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 18: Plays listen this, question, well he's going up Against. Denver

2052
01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 18: that sounds crazy to sit a player as good As Josh,

2053
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:29,280
Speaker 18: shakops but he. Is his production is contingent upon. Touchdowns

2054
01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:31,000
Speaker 18: i don't think he gets it against an Elite denver.

2055
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:32,000
Speaker 19: Defense Like i've.

2056
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:35,680
Speaker 18: Mentioned, BEFORE i actually Think Ashton genty is going to

2057
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 18: have a very good. Game this sounds crazy trust In

2058
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 18: Ashton genty in that fantasy playoffs with your season on the,

2059
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:46,360
Speaker 18: line but people don't know. This philadelphia's feared defense actually

2060
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,680
Speaker 18: gives up one hundred and thirty two rushing yards per,

2061
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 18: game which is twenty six in The National Football. LEAGUE

2062
01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:54,840
Speaker 18: i think even if they're down in this, game they

2063
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,559
Speaker 18: will still Use Ashton, genty AND i don't think they're

2064
01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:00,240
Speaker 18: actually going to be as blown out as. PEOPLE i

2065
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 18: think this is a closer game than anybody will give.

2066
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 18: Credit i'm not Saying i'm super confident With dash AND genti,

2067
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 18: start But i'm confident enough WHERE i would start him

2068
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:09,800
Speaker 18: with my season on the.

2069
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 19: Line. Obviously Trevion henderson Versus. BUFFALO. R.

2070
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:16,600
Speaker 18: J harvey Versus Green bay not particularly easy matchups either of,

2071
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 18: them but they're both volume, kings so you're gonna start.

2072
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:23,200
Speaker 18: Them Quin Schewn judkins going up Against, chicago you're also

2073
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:25,479
Speaker 18: going to. Start one of my favorite starts of the

2074
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 18: week again Is Devin. NEIL i said start them last.

2075
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:30,640
Speaker 18: Week he had fifteen fantasy. Points i'd be shocked if

2076
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:33,760
Speaker 18: he doesn't get twenty Against. Carolina carolina is much better

2077
01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 18: pass defense than they do run, defense And Devin neil

2078
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 18: actually is a good pass catcher, Too so even if

2079
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 18: they did have a bad, defense LIKE i said last

2080
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 18: week Against, tampa he still was able to catch a pass.

2081
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 19: Or two and do some things.

2082
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 18: There, finally Quin Shawn judkins against The Chicago. Bears love

2083
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:51,320
Speaker 18: what he can bring this week against the defense by the,

2084
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 18: Way chicago another defense that's been, praised but twenty seventh

2085
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:58,840
Speaker 18: against the, run SO i would make sure to sit

2086
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:02,160
Speaker 18: to start. Him that is gonna be a game that's super. Borant,

2087
01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:05,760
Speaker 18: anyways let's all win our. Matchups I'm Brandon deutsch on

2091
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 18: win our. MATCHUPS i think it's. Time it's the most

2092
01:49:16,439 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 18: pivotal week of the.

2093
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 19: Year let's do, It.

2094
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: Bernie So brandon my son has a buy this, week

2095
01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:24,360
Speaker 1: but he also Has Michael, wilson who's actually paid some

2096
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 1: dividends Since Marvin harrison doesn't look like he's gonna Play.

2097
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,560
Speaker 1: SUNDAY i agree with. You wilson's gonna get targets and

2098
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:37,519
Speaker 1: he deserves. Them interesting, though they're At arizona's At atlanta next, week,

2099
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:41,400
Speaker 1: okay indoors perfect, conditions or maybe they're home one of the,

2100
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:44,719
Speaker 1: regardless the game's gonna be played. Indoors do you Expect

2101
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 1: Marvin harrison back next? Week and if, so how much

2102
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:51,280
Speaker 1: is that going to Affect Michael wilson's targets because he's

2103
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 1: earned the right he can.

2104
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:55,559
Speaker 19: Play, yeah it's, Wild, Bernie i'm telling you right.

2105
01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 18: Now, Look Marvin Harrison junior is obviously gonna take away

2106
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:02,439
Speaker 18: some targets From Michael wilson if he plays next. Week first, off,

2107
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 18: though the rapport That Jacoby brissett And Michael wilson have

2108
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 18: right now is. Incredible you can't really teach, that and

2109
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 18: you can't really Knock Michael wilson for the production Because

2110
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 18: Marvin Harrison junior hasn't even done half of What Michael

2111
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 18: wilson's done at all so far in his. Career That

2112
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:24,679
Speaker 18: Michael wilson's done in six, weeks, Right, atlanta it's a weird. Concept,

2113
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 18: right they have a top ten pass, defense so it's

2114
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:31,479
Speaker 18: not an easy matchup next. Week If Marvin harrison, PLAYS

2115
01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 18: i would still Play Michael, wilson THOUGH i.

2116
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,400
Speaker 1: Would My son's actually got both. Guys would you consider starting? Both?

2117
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:40,439
Speaker 18: YES i, LOOK i think there's been some strategies like,

2118
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 18: that like people have Started Ken walker And Zach Sharbonnell

2119
01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:44,960
Speaker 18: yeah this, year and that's worked for.

2120
01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:46,360
Speaker 19: People, well they.

2121
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 1: Don't have a running game to speak of It, arizo

2122
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:49,640
Speaker 1: so they're going to air it out forty. Times and

2123
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: what Did Jacoby weresett throw sixty times a couple of

2124
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago our a few weeks he's had AN nfl.

2125
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:58,960
Speaker 19: Record, yeah against against My. Niners that was. Unfortunate it

2126
01:50:59,000 --> 01:50:59,160
Speaker 19: was a.

2127
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:02,439
Speaker 1: Good niners are good. Team so one last, thing just

2128
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:06,760
Speaker 1: out of, CURIOSITY i THINK i Like Ashton. GENT i

2129
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 1: think The raiders drafted him too. High Kenny pickett's under

2130
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 1: center for The, Raiders, sony how might that affect The Ashin?

2131
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:13,120
Speaker 1: Genty if at?

2132
01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 18: ALL i think that benefits. HIM i, think you, Know

2133
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:18,960
Speaker 18: Kenny pickett is a more limited quarterback Than Gino. Smith

2134
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 18: they're going to try to at least establish the run

2135
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 18: in the first. Half we know that for. SURE i

2136
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 18: do think this game is. CLOSE i don't think it's

2137
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:28,640
Speaker 18: a blowout by any. Means everybody's Like philly by like.

2138
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 18: Twenty i'm, like what are we talking. About we've not

2139
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:32,840
Speaker 18: Seen philly play football the last four. Weeks, LIKE i

2140
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 18: think this is a close. GAME i wouldn't be shocked

2141
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 18: if The raiders win this.

2142
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 1: Game, BERNIE i know The lakers are checked For, lakers my,

2143
01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:42,519
Speaker 1: goodness The raiders are a trendy. Play there's no way

2144
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:45,600
Speaker 1: in Hell i'm laying at. Twelve it's very difficult to

2145
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:48,679
Speaker 1: back The raiders for all the self inflicted, moods, penalties blown.

2146
01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 1: Assignments they're going to turn the ball over at least

2147
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:55,599
Speaker 1: twice because it's in their. Contract i'm concerned this could

2148
01:51:55,640 --> 01:52:00,200
Speaker 1: be a contrarion get right game For. Philly but youver

2149
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:02,560
Speaker 1: know that's WHY i don't back The. Raiders But i'm not.

2150
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 1: Laying i'm not laying. Twelve you could be, right you

2151
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 1: could be. RIGHT i know it's a popular fourteen parlay

2152
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:13,080

01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,200
Speaker 1: one of those and the butt better goes home. Unhappy

2156
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:25,200

Speaker 1: well for folks who wanted to believe or believe that

2180
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,759
Speaker 1: The chiefs perhaps were on their way to a, dynasty

2181
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 1: or The eagles perhaps they were on their way to a,

2182
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 1: dynasty you've had the rug pulled out from under your

2183
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 1: feet a little, bit and you know most of us

2184
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 1: WELL i don't know if most of us were or,

2185
01:54:15,479 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 1: weren't BUT i certainly know whenever The chiefs are ON,

2186
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 1: tv it's pretty much must, watch, Right so let's assume

2187
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 1: that last week's game between The Kansas City chiefs And

2188
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 1: Houston texans was heavily watched and as the fourth quarter rolled.

2189
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 1: Around early in the fourth, quarter even though The chiefs,

2190
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 1: trailed they were back. Home this was. It you couldn't

2191
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:44,600
Speaker 1: afford to lose this. Game The chiefs were going to

2192
01:54:44,640 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 1: find a way to pull out this. Win you thought.

2193
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 1: IT i thought. IT i bet Even houston fans thought.

2194
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:55,280
Speaker 1: It and part of the reason Is Kansas city couldn't

2195
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:57,280
Speaker 1: have played any. Worse it was a brutal first, half

2196
01:54:58,040 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 1: and they somehow recovered the tide of the game up,

2197
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 1: ten and the defense was doing their. Job they were

2198
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:09,280
Speaker 1: carrying the. Freight they were STIFLING. Cj Strouden. Company you've

2199
01:55:09,320 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 1: seen this movie many. Times just Give patrickholmes the ball

2200
01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:18,920
Speaker 1: one last. Possession he'll scramble, around do what he has to,

2201
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:22,240
Speaker 1: do and he'll make an off schedule play that continues to.

2202
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:27,360
Speaker 1: Defy perhaps he would roll, right evade somebody throw the

2203
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:30,840
Speaker 1: ball To Travis. Kelcey he'd find some, space they'd extend the,

2204
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 1: drive move the, chains and The chiefs would take the

2205
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 1: ball down the, field and people would wait for the,

2206
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:39,600
Speaker 1: inevitable and The chiefs would, win and rumors of their

2207
01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:41,600
Speaker 1: demise would be on hold for at least one more.

2208
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 1: Week but a funny thing happened on the way to the.

2209
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 1: Forum The chiefs pissed the game. Away Why Andy reid

2210
01:55:50,080 --> 01:55:53,360
Speaker 1: called that fourth down call in his own, territory handing

2211
01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 1: The texans field position that would already allow them to

2212
01:55:57,000 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 1: be in field goal range is beyond.

2213
01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:01,160
Speaker 14: Me it was a.

2214
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:05,640
Speaker 1: Gift punt. Deep let your defense do the. Job they'd Stifled.

2215
01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:12,480
Speaker 1: Houston houston was completely energized by this. Decision after stopping The,

2216
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 1: chiefs they quickly score a touchdown that turned the game completely,

2217
01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 1: over and you could see the air come out Of Chiefs. Nation,

2218
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:24,040
Speaker 1: Suddenly Kansas city and their back of magic all of

2219
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:25,880
Speaker 1: a sudden looked like they had run out of magic.

2220
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:32,600
Speaker 1: Potion no more Backbreaking, mahomes crazy, plays scrambling for a first,

2221
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:36,200
Speaker 1: Down Travis kelcey making a clutch catch over the middle

2222
01:56:36,240 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 1: of eighting, Tacklers No Andy reid magic to figure out

2223
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:44,080
Speaker 1: some play no one's seen before from somebody you never heard.

2224
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 1: Of The chiefs never scored. Again now they're six and,

2225
01:56:47,360 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 1: seven they're teering on their, breakup playoff, elimination the. Eulogies

2226
01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:54,960
Speaker 1: they're back and play The. Chiefs their dynasty is. Over

2227
01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:58,960
Speaker 1: it just. Is the next, night it was The Philadelphia

2228
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:04,560
Speaker 1: eagles team who completely trucked The chiefs in The Super

2229
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 1: bowl Last. February they were embarrassed on PRIMETIME tv in

2230
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 1: front Of god and. Everybody here's what's interesting That chargers offensive,

2231
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:18,560
Speaker 1: line who already is missing two tackles and is a mass,

2232
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:21,280
Speaker 1: unit And Justin, herbert who was playing with one hand

2233
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 1: the other one's broken in The Los Angeles. Chargers The

2234
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,880
Speaker 1: eagles looked like they were running in mud all night.

2235
01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:32,160
Speaker 1: Long their offense, again they were. Stifled they did it to,

2236
01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:34,600
Speaker 1: themselves and give The chargers a lot of, credit they were.

2237
01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:38,240
Speaker 1: Opportunistic then all of a, sudden all of a, sudden

2238
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:42,280
Speaker 1: there was this long touchdown run From Saquon, barkley which

2239
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 1: was just what the doctor. Ordered but it wasn't. Enough jalen,

2240
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 1: hurts WHO i will defend till the. Death if you

2241
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 1: look at the man's history Bench dunn ceremoniously for two

2242
01:57:56,360 --> 01:58:01,760
Speaker 1: a tongue below When alabama won the national championship seven years,

2243
01:58:01,760 --> 01:58:05,760
Speaker 1: ago took it like a, man even came back and

2244
01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:09,160
Speaker 1: even won a game the following, year ends up transferring To,

2245
01:58:09,160 --> 01:58:13,800
Speaker 1: oklahoma refines his, skills gets to THE. Nfl why people

2246
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 1: continue to doubt this? Man bothers. Me he's won Two Super.

2247
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:20,440
Speaker 1: Bowls it's just it's. Incredible but he threw his fourth

2248
01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 1: interception of the. Night you heard, that, right fourth that

2249
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 1: sealed the. Loss The eagles are now eight and. Five

2250
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:30,080
Speaker 1: THE Nfc east is so pitiful that eight and five

2251
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:33,400
Speaker 1: is not. Terrible and they had a non daunting a

2252
01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 1: schedule ahead of. Them so The eagles still have a

2253
01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:38,440
Speaker 1: good shot in the. Playoffs but you can't feel great

2254
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 1: about where The eagles stand right. Now and it's never

2255
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:45,400
Speaker 1: a good sign when you're hearing people shouting from the.

2256
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:49,560
Speaker 1: Rooftops bring Back Senator Jason, kelce who's over exposed ON

2257
01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:51,160
Speaker 1: tv all the. Time he might as well put on

2258
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:54,520
Speaker 1: a helmet, again that's not a good. Look so both

2259
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:58,200
Speaker 1: of last Seasons Super bowl participants had fallen from grace.

2260
01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:02,640
Speaker 1: Rapidly they're both stuck in the. Malaise even should The

2261
01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 1: eagles make the, playoffs they, might they probably. Will in,

2262
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 1: reality what do you expect them to? DO i can't

2263
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 1: say you can expect much from that team in the,

2264
01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 1: playoffs all, Right chiefs are in bigger Trouble, Broncos, Patriots.

2265
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:23,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars the degree of the collapse is still what's the

2266
01:59:23,120 --> 01:59:26,480
Speaker 1: most striking. Them maybe time just caught up and the

2267
01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:30,000
Speaker 1: odds caught up with The. Chiefs The philadelphia, situation, frankly

2268
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:32,520
Speaker 1: is a little bit more unexpected to be considering how

2269
01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:35,600
Speaker 1: strong they roll to That Super bowl win last. Year drafted,

2270
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:38,280

2271
01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:42,520
Speaker 1: Ball he's made this offense really, limited really. Limited he

2272
01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: doesn't throw to the middle of the field. Much jalen

2273
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 1: hurts and defenders guard the boundaries because their running game is.

2274
01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 1: Collapsed it's, weird all. Right The eagles might make the,

2275
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 1: playoffs AND i don't think The chiefs. Will but, REGARDLESS

2276
01:59:55,640 --> 02:00:00,640
Speaker 1: i think The chiefs, dynasty frankly is over and The chiefs,

2277

2300
02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Indicator so when The rams kick it off against The

2303
02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:37,040
Speaker 1: National Football. League. NOW i know they were concerned About

2304
02:01:37,080 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Matthew stafford's back problem in training, camp but that might

2305
02:01:41,880 --> 02:01:43,800
Speaker 1: be the only thing that can stop this. Offense Although

2306
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,480
Speaker 1: matt's always capable of turning Into Detroit Matt stafford LIKE

2307
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:51,600
Speaker 1: i did a few weeks, ago but not, likely but

2308
02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 1: you can't rule it. Out but Since week, ten give

2309
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:56,520
Speaker 1: it up to The. Rams they lead the league with

2310
02:01:56,600 --> 02:02:00,840
Speaker 1: thirty four points per game and they're the only team

2311
02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:02,960
Speaker 1: in The National Football league that are ranks in the

2312
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:06,440

02:02:06,440 --> 02:02:10,000
Speaker 1: To week, one they're averaging twenty nine points a. Game

2314
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:11,640

2315
02:02:12,120 --> 02:02:14,920
Speaker 1: The New England. Patriots last week they were number. One

2316
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:18,360
Speaker 1: they were on a buy now The, patriots to be,

2317
02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:21,200
Speaker 1: fair and we talked about this With Lamal shaw in

2318
02:02:21,280 --> 02:02:24,760
Speaker 1: the first. Hour they've only beaten three teams with the winning,

2319
02:02:24,840 --> 02:02:27,880
Speaker 1: record and only one such, team The bills this, week

2320
02:02:29,240 --> 02:02:32,000
Speaker 1: left on their. Schedule is the only team The patriots

2321
02:02:32,040 --> 02:02:35,680
Speaker 1: have left on their schedule that have a winning. Record

2322
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:39,400
Speaker 1: and by the, way we talked about this earlier in

2323
02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:42,800
Speaker 1: the show as. Well The, patriots even though they've won

2324
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:45,080
Speaker 1: north of ten, games they find themselves as a home.

2325
02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Underdog that's only happened seven times in the last five.

2326
02:02:48,120 --> 02:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Years but those home underdogs were one and six against the.

2327
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Spread so let's see what. Happens Drake may is a

2328
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:01,680
Speaker 1: LEGITIMATE mvp. Candidate in an earlier caller thought he was,

2329
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:05,120
Speaker 1: overrated but he made his. Case we'll. SEE i like

2330
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:08,880
Speaker 1: What i've, seen but part of his maybe part of his,

2331
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 1: rationale he, Said Drake may's only faced one top ten

2332
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:16,200
Speaker 1: defense based on expected points at it according To Drew.

2333
02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Media so we'll see what happens the number three. TEAM

2334
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: i love this The Seattle Seahawks sam donald redemption is

2335
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:28,280

2337
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:35,400
Speaker 1: Nine they got The colts later. Today you just hope

2338
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:37,880
Speaker 1: That Sam donald doesn't have another swoon like he had

2339
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:41,400
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last. Year wouldn't bet out, it wouldn't

2340
02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 1: bet on. It he's done extremely. Well he's surviving and he's,

2341
02:03:47,720 --> 02:03:52,720
Speaker 1: flourishing and he did have an interception Last, sunday he

Speaker 1: did have three. Touchdowns And seattle Plays they play legit complimentary,

2343
02:04:00,920 --> 02:04:05,200
Speaker 1: football and you know what that. Means the defense gets

2344
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:07,000
Speaker 1: the ball, back makes a, punt they go down to score,

2345
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:10,600
Speaker 1: points and the defense gets the ball, back wash, repeat.

2346
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 1: Rents The Denver broncos give it up to you know

2376
02:06:02,120 --> 02:06:07,200
Speaker 1: job in energizing that. Defense the number six, team and

2377
02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:10,080
Speaker 1: people might argue with, This, yes The Buffalo. Bills they're

2384
02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:36,160
Speaker 1: older it's got a lot of. Memories it housed the

2385
02:06:36,200 --> 02:06:38,080
Speaker 1: team that went to four Straight Super. Bowls do with

2386
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:41,120

2387
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:45,160
Speaker 1: Sunday Josh allen became the first PLAYER nfl history with

2388

2389
02:06:48,640 --> 02:06:53,000

2390
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Week Josh allen accounted for two hundred and thirty five

2391
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:59,720
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns in a game where snow was coming.

2392
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,880

Speaker 1: they'd kick you. Out that's the kicker. Here they're at The,

2394
02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:12,000
Speaker 1: patriots The Bills atlanta's short. Number it just seems, like

2395
02:07:12,120 --> 02:07:16,360
Speaker 1: Unless Josh allen does something herculean every week The bills don't.

2396

2404
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:47,480
Speaker 1: The niners are going to be an extremely tough. Out

2405
02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:51,640
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is on pace to become the FIRST nfl player

2406
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 1: ever with two seasons of a thousand rushing yards and

2407

2413
02:08:13,040 --> 02:08:16,520
Speaker 1: grooing offense that has its way of wearing you. Down

2414
02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:20,840
Speaker 1: the question is will McCaffrey be too worn down down

2415
02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:25,200
Speaker 1: the stretch to be as effective as they're going to

2416

2419
02:08:35,240 --> 02:08:37,840
Speaker 1: so The titans got something going all. Right BUT i.

2420
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:43,760

2424
02:08:51,080 --> 02:08:55,080
Speaker 1: believe these goofy, analytics but right now the trade is

2425
02:08:55,120 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: a thirty nine percent chance of making the playoffs after

2426
02:08:58,560 --> 02:09:00,920
Speaker 1: they Beat. Dallas but it's still staring in a playoff,

2427
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:05,280
Speaker 1: game not at home if they do make, It so

2428

2429
02:09:08,920 --> 02:09:17,920

2430
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:20,680

2431
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:23,600
Speaker 1: below fifty degrees and An't Jared, Goff he's not the.

2432
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Same he's not the. Same The lions would serve them

2433
02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:31,240
Speaker 1: well to beat The rams later this afternoon In Los,

2434
02:09:31,280 --> 02:09:34,840
Speaker 1: angeles but they're so banked up on. Defense it's just

2435
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:37,440
Speaker 1: really a tough. Deal but, look it's The National Football.

2436
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:41,520
Speaker 1: League expect the. Unexpected let's see what. Happens The lions

2437
02:09:41,560 --> 02:09:44,240
Speaker 1: still have a phenomenal two headed running back and a GOOD.

2438
02:09:44,320 --> 02:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Dna they're just depleted. Defensively that's a Fat. Now somebody

2439
02:09:50,120 --> 02:09:54,240
Speaker 1: asked me earlier this, WEEK i FORGET i was WHERE

2440
02:09:54,280 --> 02:09:57,520
Speaker 1: i was at the car wash or. Something it might

2441
02:09:57,600 --> 02:10:01,839
Speaker 1: have been my. Handyman believe The Houston texans could actually

2442
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 1: get to the conference championship. GAME i DO i? Do

2443
02:10:07,880 --> 02:10:10,760
Speaker 1: with that? Defense they're eight and. Five they're the ninth

2444
02:10:10,840 --> 02:10:13,600
Speaker 1: rank power. Team they're moving. Up they've gone eight and

2445
02:10:13,680 --> 02:10:16,840
Speaker 1: two since starting out zero to. Three To texas lead

2446
02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:19,480
Speaker 1: the league in scoring. Defense they're only a lying fifteen

2447
02:10:19,600 --> 02:10:23,520
Speaker 1: points per, game their fourth in scoring. Margin they're plus eighty.

2448
02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 1: Eight they are playoff. Bound they went Into Kansas city

2449
02:10:30,240 --> 02:10:33,280
Speaker 1: and punched The, chiefs and The chiefs tried to punch

2450
02:10:33,360 --> 02:10:38,440
Speaker 1: back and they. Couldn't, Okay and here's what's. Interesting you

2451
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:41,640
Speaker 1: wonder WHY i think The Houston texans could actually not

2452
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:43,960
Speaker 1: predicting the R But i'm telling you they're very alive

2453
02:10:44,040 --> 02:10:47,600
Speaker 1: to make THE Afc Championship. Game it's likely they will

2454
02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:50,400
Speaker 1: not have to Face Patrick williams in the. Playoffs it's

2455
02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:52,840
Speaker 1: likely they won't have to make Face Lamar jackson in the,

2456
02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:56,880
Speaker 1: playoffs even though he's three and. Five it's likely they

2457
02:10:56,920 --> 02:11:00,120
Speaker 1: won't have to Face Joe burrow in the. Playoffs this

2458
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:02,280
Speaker 1: is just one of those windows like The Detroit lions

2459
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:04,120
Speaker 1: had two years ago when they lined up for. Him

2460
02:11:05,440 --> 02:11:08,400
Speaker 1: these are opportunities that pretty much almost never come. Along

2461
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: we'll see If houston can take full. Advantage it starts

2462
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:15,360
Speaker 1: later this afternoon at home against The Arizona, cardinals a

2463
02:11:15,480 --> 02:11:20,800
Speaker 1: game The texans are favored to. WIN i keep waiting

2464
02:11:20,920 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 1: for The Chicago bears high wire act to trip. Up,

2465
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:29,200
Speaker 1: well it kind of sort of did In Green bay last.

2466
02:11:29,280 --> 02:11:34,400
Speaker 1: Week they lost twenty eight twenty. One BUT i just

2467
02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 1: can't write The bears off, yet nor SHOULD. I they're

2468
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:41,040
Speaker 1: nine to, four they're the tenth they rank tenth in power.

2469
02:11:41,120 --> 02:11:44,080
Speaker 1: Ratings they're second in the league in rushing yards if

2470
02:11:44,160 --> 02:11:48,120
Speaker 1: rushed almost two thousand, yards the third AND apa per. Rush,

2471
02:11:49,120 --> 02:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Now Kayleb williams to, me started to revert back to

2472
02:11:51,880 --> 02:11:54,040
Speaker 1: his whirling Dervish Benny hill run around to make a.

2473
02:11:54,080 --> 02:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Play they're only fourteenth in PASSING, epa and, Frankly Kayleb

2474
02:11:58,320 --> 02:12:00,880
Speaker 1: williams is the worst off time throw rate in the.

2475
02:12:00,920 --> 02:12:04,880
Speaker 1: League what The packers did was stuffed the box and

2476
02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:06,880
Speaker 1: put the pressure On williams to beat. Him they dared

2477
02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:09,000
Speaker 1: him throw and he couldn't do. It he was nineteen

2478
02:12:09,040 --> 02:12:10,680
Speaker 1: to thirty five or a hundred eighty six yards and

2479
02:12:10,800 --> 02:12:12,880
Speaker 1: was picked off on the final pass of the. Game

2480
02:12:13,080 --> 02:12:15,560
Speaker 1: that's The Caleb williams we know in. Love let's not

2481
02:12:15,720 --> 02:12:17,600
Speaker 1: disavowt What Ben johnson's done with his team in the

2482
02:12:17,640 --> 02:12:21,160
Speaker 1: way the energy To bears play. With But i'm telling

2483
02:12:21,200 --> 02:12:24,240
Speaker 1: you right now it was a bad misfire that really

2484
02:12:24,320 --> 02:12:28,560
Speaker 1: frustrated The bears nation And Caleb williams. Himself they're a

2485
02:12:28,680 --> 02:12:32,120
Speaker 1: home against The browns later today and Shoot Ora sanders

2486
02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:35,160
Speaker 1: and it feels like it should be a get right

2487
02:12:35,200 --> 02:12:37,280
Speaker 1: game For. Chicago they laid a big number over, seven

2488
02:12:38,400 --> 02:12:40,960
Speaker 1: and you just don't. Know you don't. Know all of a,

2489
02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:44,040
Speaker 1: sudden there are genuine expectations In. Chicago how might they

2490
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:50,400
Speaker 1: perform with those genuine. Expectations how About Jim Harbaugh's Los Angeles.

2491
02:12:50,520 --> 02:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Chargers they're kind of doing it with. Mirrors they're nine to.

2492
02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:58,200
Speaker 1: Four two weeks ago they were power rated. Fifteenth now

2493
02:12:58,200 --> 02:13:01,160
Speaker 1: they've moved up to. Eleven helped them beating The eagles

2494
02:13:01,160 --> 02:13:04,440
Speaker 1: on the road twenty two to nineteen in. Overtime with

2495
02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:08,720
Speaker 1: this dark injury curse for The chargers just continues to be.

2496
02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:12,520
Speaker 1: Real they've missed their two best offensive tackles for most

2497
02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:15,480
Speaker 1: of the. Season But monday night it really showed. Up

2498
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:19,400
Speaker 1: you saw. It Justin herbert was sacked seven, times he

2499
02:13:19,520 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 1: was hurt it another eleven. Times and that goofy nineteen

2500
02:13:23,560 --> 02:13:27,800
Speaker 1: seventy four Bou chembackler offense meant That Justin herbert would

2501
02:13:27,920 --> 02:13:31,560
Speaker 1: lead The chargers went and rushing with sixty six. Yards

2502
02:13:32,520 --> 02:13:34,760
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like. This it was well some well

2503
02:13:34,840 --> 02:13:38,200
Speaker 1: designed oil, machine well oiled. Machine he was just sippingly

2504
02:13:38,240 --> 02:13:42,880

02:13:54,920 --> 02:14:00,520
Speaker 1: There they'll play for. Pride And i'm not laying the,

2510
02:14:00,600 --> 02:14:04,560
Speaker 1: points But i'm having a hard. Time The chiefs are

2511
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna blow too in a row at home like. This

2512
02:14:06,480 --> 02:14:12,520
Speaker 1: we'll see finally the twelfth ranked team in terms Of power,

2513
02:14:12,600 --> 02:14:19,080
Speaker 1: rankings The eagles falling from. Ninth Aj, BROWN i don't.

2514
02:14:19,120 --> 02:14:23,160
Speaker 1: KNOW i can't figure him. Out he's certainly potentially one

2515
02:14:23,160 --> 02:14:25,160
Speaker 1: of the most gifted wide receivers to play the. Game

2516
02:14:26,320 --> 02:14:29,440
Speaker 1: he's been advocating for a more wide open offense all,

2517
02:14:29,520 --> 02:14:32,600
Speaker 1: year which means get me the, ball and this last

2518
02:14:32,680 --> 02:14:37,760
Speaker 1: month may have pointed out that he's. Right, okay The,

2519
02:14:37,840 --> 02:14:43,480
Speaker 1: eagles they strained to score points on, offense And i'm

2520
02:14:43,600 --> 02:14:45,640
Speaker 1: just Saying Jalen. Hurts praise his, earlier but he's not

2521
02:14:45,680 --> 02:14:47,720
Speaker 1: making things much. Easier turned the ball over twice at

2522
02:14:47,760 --> 02:14:50,720
Speaker 1: one Play monday, night finished with four. Interceptions philly don't

2523
02:14:50,720 --> 02:14:54,880
Speaker 1: look now has lost three in a. Row but The,

2524
02:14:55,040 --> 02:15:00,000
Speaker 1: raiders who are a real trendy Play they're twelve points

2525
02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:02,680
Speaker 1: underdogs in a game that kicks off here in about

2526
02:15:03,040 --> 02:15:05,640
Speaker 1: seven hours and forty five. Minutes will The raiders pull

2527
02:15:05,680 --> 02:15:10,360
Speaker 1: it up a, fight, probably but their self inflicted, wounds blowing, assignments.

2528
02:15:10,400 --> 02:15:13,680
Speaker 1: PENALTIES i don't Think Kenny pickett can throw as many

2529
02:15:13,720 --> 02:15:17,280
Speaker 1: interceptions As Gino smith if he. Tried but they're the Freaking, Raiders.

2530
02:15:17,680 --> 02:15:20,240
Speaker 1: OKAY i think they load the box and see What

2531
02:15:20,400 --> 02:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Ashton genty can do and Force Kenny pickett to beat.

2532
02:15:22,720 --> 02:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Him but can He? Pickett for, morego he's not a

2569
02:17:25,520 --> 02:17:29,360

2570
02:17:29,560 --> 02:17:32,000
Speaker 1: when he jacked the shoulder a few weeks, ago maybe

2571
02:17:32,040 --> 02:17:34,920

Speaker 5: Soccer so we've.

2660
02:23:01,400 --> 02:23:04,240
Speaker 17: Kind of hinted over the last few weeks about the

2661
02:23:04,280 --> 02:23:08,280
Speaker 17: troubles going on With. Liverpool it's been quite the story

2662
02:23:08,400 --> 02:23:11,840
Speaker 17: for The Premier league for the defending champions Of. England

2663
02:23:12,080 --> 02:23:15,600
Speaker 17: currently as of this, recording they set sixth on The

2664
02:23:15,640 --> 02:23:20,040
Speaker 17: Premier league. Table they actually improved that up from tenth or.

2665
02:23:20,200 --> 02:23:23,680
Speaker 17: So but we'll talk about their win On saturday here

2666
02:23:23,760 --> 02:23:26,160
Speaker 17: in just a, second but it does require us to

2667
02:23:26,200 --> 02:23:28,680
Speaker 17: rewind the clock back about a week ago and our

2668
02:23:28,760 --> 02:23:31,360
Speaker 17: last report from The world Of, SOCCER i had informed

2669
02:23:31,400 --> 02:23:35,240
Speaker 17: you That liverpool was having some issues with its big

2670
02:23:35,400 --> 02:23:38,879
Speaker 17: time Megastar Mohammed, sala who at the end of last

2671
02:23:38,920 --> 02:23:41,880
Speaker 17: season there was a lot of consternation about his expiring

2672
02:23:42,040 --> 02:23:45,280
Speaker 17: contract with a, club whether he would be one of

2673
02:23:45,360 --> 02:23:52,080
Speaker 17: those very rare free transfers or An american parlance free agents.

2674
02:23:52,120 --> 02:23:55,080
Speaker 10: That would be, available or what the team would.

2675
02:23:55,120 --> 02:23:58,480
Speaker 17: Do, however they handed him a brand new contract as Per,

2676
02:23:59,400 --> 02:24:01,520
Speaker 17: english so we don't really know the terms of a

2677
02:24:01,520 --> 02:24:05,120
Speaker 17: lot of those. Contracts But sala himself seemed to have

2678
02:24:05,400 --> 02:24:08,960
Speaker 17: suffered as the club itself began to tumble in the

2679
02:24:09,080 --> 02:24:12,600
Speaker 17: standings and looks more and more dismal in its chances

2680
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:16,840
Speaker 17: to repeat as a. Champion their odds at the beginning

2681
02:24:16,879 --> 02:24:18,840
Speaker 17: of the year to win The Premier league were plus

2682
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:22,720
Speaker 17: one seventy five LAST i saw that's dropped to somewhere

2683
02:24:22,800 --> 02:24:26,880
Speaker 17: over plus one, thousand so it's it's it's a long

2684
02:24:27,120 --> 02:24:31,880
Speaker 17: road If liverpool wants to. Repeat And sala himself had

2685
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:36,800
Speaker 17: been removed from starting lineups with the, club which is fairly,

2686
02:24:36,879 --> 02:24:41,240
Speaker 17: unusual and there was an interview the previous weekend Where

2687
02:24:41,600 --> 02:24:43,680
Speaker 17: sala spoke about these things.

2688
02:24:43,800 --> 02:24:44,840
Speaker 1: And he said that he was very.

2689
02:24:44,920 --> 02:24:49,000
Speaker 17: Disappointed he he's done much for the club and he just,

2690
02:24:49,640 --> 02:24:51,920
Speaker 17: quote Now i'm sitting on the bench AND i don't know.

2691
02:24:52,080 --> 02:24:54,560
Speaker 17: Why it seems like the club has thrown me under the.

2692
02:24:54,640 --> 02:24:56,960
Speaker 17: Bus that is HOW i am. FEELING i think it

2693
02:24:57,080 --> 02:25:00,120
Speaker 17: is very clear someone wanted me to get all of the.

2694
02:25:00,200 --> 02:25:02,120
Speaker 17: Blame he also said that he had gotten a lot

2695
02:25:02,160 --> 02:25:06,320
Speaker 17: of promises From Ourn, slute the manager At, liverpool and

2696
02:25:07,040 --> 02:25:10,160
Speaker 17: that those promises were not being Count he, said, QUOTE

2697
02:25:10,200 --> 02:25:12,080
Speaker 17: i said many times before THAT i had a good

2698
02:25:12,120 --> 02:25:14,160
Speaker 17: relationship with the, manager and all of a sudden we

2699
02:25:14,280 --> 02:25:16,640
Speaker 17: don't have a. RELATIONSHIP i don't know, why but it

2700
02:25:16,720 --> 02:25:19,480
Speaker 17: seemed to, me HOW i see, it that someone doesn't

2701
02:25:19,560 --> 02:25:23,440
Speaker 17: want me in the. Club not, surprisingly these comments earned

2702
02:25:23,520 --> 02:25:26,680
Speaker 17: a bit of a punishment For, sala as he was

2703
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:30,120
Speaker 17: omitted from the squad on The Champions league match On

2704
02:25:30,240 --> 02:25:34,840
Speaker 17: tuesday When liverpool traveled To milan to play Inter slute

2705
02:25:34,879 --> 02:25:39,920
Speaker 17: himself seemed very surprised at the comments and in seemed

2706
02:25:39,920 --> 02:25:41,280
Speaker 17: to have caught them. Blind so it seems to have

2707
02:25:41,360 --> 02:25:46,280
Speaker 17: caught really everyone blindsided on all of. This it's not

2708
02:25:46,520 --> 02:25:51,240
Speaker 17: uncommon to see issues with a big, star but for

2709
02:25:51,360 --> 02:25:54,160
Speaker 17: everyone to really get blindsided for, this for the relationship

2710
02:25:54,240 --> 02:25:56,800
Speaker 17: to decay so, quickly it really has raised a lot

2711
02:25:56,840 --> 02:26:00,680
Speaker 17: of questions what exactly is going on In there's been

2712
02:26:00,680 --> 02:26:03,840
Speaker 17: plenty of people who've lined up to Blame sala, himself

2713
02:26:03,879 --> 02:26:07,119
Speaker 17: Including Wayne rooney and a Former liverpool Player Jamie, Carrigher

2714
02:26:08,080 --> 02:26:11,920
Speaker 17: whereas there's been plenty of people who probably point a

2715
02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:12,840
Speaker 17: few fingers.

2716
02:26:12,560 --> 02:26:13,400
Speaker 19: At liverpool as.

2717
02:26:13,440 --> 02:26:16,200
Speaker 17: WELL i would say kind of easy to do considering

2718
02:26:16,240 --> 02:26:19,920
Speaker 17: where their record has, been and it's been very unclear

2719
02:26:20,040 --> 02:26:23,920
Speaker 17: what exactly is going to happen With sala moving. Forward

2720
02:26:24,240 --> 02:26:27,360
Speaker 17: we do have the transfer window opening up Here january

2721
02:26:27,440 --> 02:26:31,040
Speaker 17: first Through. February we'll see maybe if he is, Transferred and,

2722
02:26:31,160 --> 02:26:33,800
Speaker 17: yes we do have to talk about Transferring Mohammed sala

2723
02:26:34,120 --> 02:26:38,519
Speaker 17: because there's really, hard really hard to repair a relationship

2724
02:26:38,800 --> 02:26:41,520
Speaker 17: that seems to have been boiling over in this. Regard

2725
02:26:41,640 --> 02:26:45,080
Speaker 17: it doesn't matter the money at this, point especially when

2726
02:26:45,160 --> 02:26:47,720
Speaker 17: players can be traded or transferred at the drop of a.

2727
02:26:47,840 --> 02:26:51,120
Speaker 17: Hat But saturday gave us a slight reprieve from. That

2728
02:26:51,280 --> 02:26:55,320
Speaker 17: Mohammed salah was back in the lineup For, liverpool still

2729
02:26:55,400 --> 02:26:57,160
Speaker 17: on the, bench but came in in the twenty fifth

2730
02:26:57,240 --> 02:27:01,120
Speaker 17: minute and led to an assist that helped net the

2731
02:27:01,240 --> 02:27:05,600
Speaker 17: second goal Against brighton And Hove, albion which was a tremendous.

2732
02:27:05,640 --> 02:27:08,160
Speaker 17: Win AS i, said it Propelled liverpool all the way

2733
02:27:08,240 --> 02:27:10,800
Speaker 17: up to six in the table instead of sitting there

2734
02:27:11,240 --> 02:27:14,960
Speaker 17: in the. Teams and Now Mohammed sala is about to

2735
02:27:15,200 --> 02:27:18,960
Speaker 17: disappear for about two three matches Of liverpool because he

2736
02:27:19,080 --> 02:27:21,520
Speaker 17: is Joining egypt to go play in The African cup Of.

2737
02:27:21,640 --> 02:27:24,440
Speaker 17: Nations as this is right and to be, honest probably

2738
02:27:24,480 --> 02:27:27,199
Speaker 17: the prep That sala needs for This World. Cup egypt

2739
02:27:27,280 --> 02:27:29,480
Speaker 17: will play in The World, cup AND i would Say

2740
02:27:29,520 --> 02:27:32,720
Speaker 17: sala is the biggest star of The african continent And

2741
02:27:32,920 --> 02:27:35,840
Speaker 17: egypt has pinned a lot of hopes on This World cup.

2742
02:27:35,959 --> 02:27:39,800
Speaker 17: Run they're a strong a strong. Contender but the question

2743
02:27:40,040 --> 02:27:43,240
Speaker 17: is what is the future Of sala With liverpool by

2744
02:27:43,280 --> 02:27:45,720
Speaker 17: the time he gets back that transfer window will be

2745
02:27:45,840 --> 02:27:50,320
Speaker 17: Opened january first To february second. Slot the manager says

2746
02:27:50,440 --> 02:27:52,840
Speaker 17: he wants him to, stay has no issue with whatever has,

2747
02:27:52,920 --> 02:27:57,000
Speaker 17: happened but The british press is very quick to question

2748
02:27:57,200 --> 02:28:00,279
Speaker 17: whether this Is sala's final Liver pool.

2749
02:28:00,320 --> 02:28:00,959
Speaker 1: Game it would be a.

2750
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:03,200
Speaker 10: Disaster to lose a player of his.

2751
02:28:03,480 --> 02:28:07,000
Speaker 17: Stature at the same, Time i'm struggling to figure out

2752
02:28:07,360 --> 02:28:11,880
Speaker 17: if this is in irreparable damage he's. DONE i know

2753
02:28:12,080 --> 02:28:14,480
Speaker 17: that there's been some commentators say that he didn't look

2754
02:28:14,520 --> 02:28:17,160
Speaker 17: like he was saying goodbye To liverpool, Fans but as we,

2755
02:28:17,280 --> 02:28:20,240
Speaker 17: know at the end of the, day sometimes it's not

2756
02:28:21,320 --> 02:28:25,680
Speaker 17: directed at the. Fans sometimes it's something inside in an

2757
02:28:25,760 --> 02:28:29,520
Speaker 17: organization that just can't be. Mended we'll see soon what

2758
02:28:29,680 --> 02:28:32,440
Speaker 17: that answer will. Be until next, time this has been

2788
02:30:24,879 --> 02:30:29,039
Speaker 1: gritty crunch time in The National Football, league and as

2789
02:30:29,120 --> 02:30:33,440
Speaker 1: we look at THE, nfc the playoff picture looks fairly

2790
02:30:33,560 --> 02:30:37,120
Speaker 1: clear right. Now you've got The rams up top and

2791
02:30:37,320 --> 02:30:39,400
Speaker 1: they are in the driver's heat to get a first

2792
02:30:39,520 --> 02:30:45,800
Speaker 1: round by The, Packers eagles And bucks right now round

2793
02:30:45,840 --> 02:30:48,959
Speaker 1: out the top. Four, yes The, bucks BUT i got

2794
02:30:49,080 --> 02:30:54,920
Speaker 1: to tell, you after losing To New orleans and then

2795
02:30:54,959 --> 02:30:59,880
Speaker 1: losing To, atlanta it's they might have one foot in

2796
02:30:59,879 --> 02:31:01,840
Speaker 1: The graham and the other on a banana. Peel The,

2797
02:31:01,920 --> 02:31:04,680
Speaker 1: seahawks actually the forty nine ers would right now be

2798
02:31:04,720 --> 02:31:08,160
Speaker 1: in line to get to. Buy but The rams they

2799
02:31:08,280 --> 02:31:10,520
Speaker 1: made easy work of The cardinals last, week who had

2800
02:31:10,600 --> 02:31:14,279
Speaker 1: seven to one loss or check at seven one possession,

2801
02:31:14,400 --> 02:31:17,960
Speaker 1: losses and they hung just tough enough against The jags And.

2802
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:21,200
Speaker 1: Bucks they don't ask how how, many SO i one

2803
02:31:21,320 --> 02:31:24,400
Speaker 1: would think that they're lost to The panthers was a

2804
02:31:24,480 --> 02:31:28,800
Speaker 1: blip on the radar screen rather than you, know potential

2805
02:31:29,680 --> 02:31:33,119
Speaker 1: cracks in the. Armor the one game IF i could

2806
02:31:33,120 --> 02:31:36,880
Speaker 1: only watch one game, today it would be against The.

2807
02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:41,560
Speaker 1: Lions they can severely damage The lions playoff, hopes AND

2808
02:31:41,720 --> 02:31:44,160
Speaker 1: i believe they're motivated to do it because remember The

2809
02:31:44,240 --> 02:31:48,240
Speaker 1: lions eliminated The rams from the twenty twenty three postseason

2810
02:31:48,879 --> 02:31:51,400
Speaker 1: on their way to coming this, close having a two

2811
02:31:51,440 --> 02:31:53,160
Speaker 1: score lead and late in the third quarter against The

2812
02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:55,080
Speaker 1: niners to get to their Only Super. Bowl but they

2813
02:31:55,080 --> 02:31:58,640
Speaker 1: didn't do. It but you Got barris forty, Nine, Ers, Seahawks, Bucks, Eagles, Packers.

2814
02:31:58,760 --> 02:32:05,160
Speaker 1: Rams that. Change that can, change that's in THE. Nfc

2815
02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:09,320
Speaker 1: and the truth of the matter, is not only can it,

2816
02:32:09,440 --> 02:32:11,160
Speaker 1: change you have a few teams in The hunt that

2817
02:32:11,200 --> 02:32:13,560
Speaker 1: would dearly love to make a, change The lions being

2818
02:32:13,640 --> 02:32:16,200
Speaker 1: one of. Them, right they're still eight and, five The

2819
02:32:16,280 --> 02:32:19,240
Speaker 1: panthers are seven and. Six can't count out The, cowboys

2820
02:32:19,360 --> 02:32:24,280
Speaker 1: just let just. Yet but their hopes took a big,

2821
02:32:24,360 --> 02:32:26,240
Speaker 1: hit let's face, it when they lost to The lions last.

2822
02:32:26,280 --> 02:32:29,360
Speaker 1: Week lions gridded it out Last thursday. Night AND i

2823
02:32:29,480 --> 02:32:32,640
Speaker 1: think you can mathematically say the vikings in The, hunt

2824
02:32:32,640 --> 02:32:35,760
Speaker 1: BUT i don't see. It, meanwhile The, Falcons, Cardinals, Saints

2825
02:32:35,840 --> 02:32:40,640
Speaker 1: commanders And giants like you to thank you for participating

2826
02:32:40,640 --> 02:32:44,360
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty FIVE nfl. Season come back next,

2827
02:32:44,480 --> 02:32:47,360
Speaker 1: year go, home join the home version of the, game

2828
02:32:48,000 --> 02:32:52,800
Speaker 1: and best of luck to all. Participants THE afc also

2829
02:32:52,959 --> 02:32:57,320
Speaker 1: interesting right. Now The patriots would have the, buye but The,

2830
02:32:57,400 --> 02:33:00,959
Speaker 1: Broncos Jack steelers run out the top, four The, Chargers,

2831
02:33:01,080 --> 02:33:05,720
Speaker 1: bills And texans five through. Seven AND i think The

2832
02:33:05,840 --> 02:33:09,400
Speaker 1: texans are a little scary in this. GROUP i really mean,

2833
02:33:09,480 --> 02:33:14,600
Speaker 1: it based on their top top ranked. Defense and you,

2834
02:33:14,720 --> 02:33:18,720
Speaker 1: know if there's only IF i could watch two, games

2835
02:33:18,720 --> 02:33:21,600
Speaker 1: well the other game would Be, Buffalo New england because

2836
02:33:21,879 --> 02:33:25,200
Speaker 1: The patriots are looking to go worse to. First they

2837
02:33:25,360 --> 02:33:27,160
Speaker 1: very much enjoyed their buy this, week but they can

2838
02:33:27,240 --> 02:33:30,520
Speaker 1: secure their FIRST afc TITLE Efc east title in six,

2839
02:33:30,640 --> 02:33:33,280
Speaker 1: years and they can knock out The bills On sunday one.

2840
02:33:33,360 --> 02:33:36,520
Speaker 1: Two just like. That they've found their franchise quarterback and

2841
02:33:36,600 --> 02:33:39,120
Speaker 1: The tom you, know The Tom brady er is no

2842
02:33:39,280 --> 02:33:42,039
Speaker 1: longer in the Post Tom brady. Air they have their franchise.

2843
02:33:42,160 --> 02:33:49,400
Speaker 1: Quarterback but this is interesting Because Drake may is trying

2844
02:33:49,440 --> 02:33:51,280
Speaker 1: to get Where Josh allen has, been and Now Josh

2845
02:33:51,320 --> 02:33:53,879
Speaker 1: allen's trying to knock him off the. Perch that's going

2846
02:33:53,959 --> 02:33:56,600
Speaker 1: to be an interesting game On. Sunday jags have won

2847
02:33:56,640 --> 02:33:59,680
Speaker 1: four in a. Row they blew out The colts last.

2848
02:33:59,720 --> 02:34:02,640
Speaker 1: Week they're fun to continue to. Watch The chargers pulled

2849
02:34:02,680 --> 02:34:05,600
Speaker 1: off their overtime victory last week against The. Eagles they

2850
02:34:05,680 --> 02:34:09,160
Speaker 1: got a one game, buffer BUT i don't, know, man

2851
02:34:09,240 --> 02:34:12,440
Speaker 1: two offensive linemen. Down they go To Kansas, city and

2852
02:34:12,800 --> 02:34:17,160
Speaker 1: of Course Justin. Herbert that offense hardball ran to me

2853
02:34:17,360 --> 02:34:19,280
Speaker 1: was a real head scratcher where they pulled it. Off

2854
02:34:19,480 --> 02:34:22,240
Speaker 1: Justin herbert led the team in rushing with sixty six.

2855
02:34:22,360 --> 02:34:24,360
Speaker 1: Yards most of it was running for his life with

2856
02:34:24,480 --> 02:34:29,200
Speaker 1: a broken. Hand houston't Look they're not always, pretty but

2857
02:34:29,360 --> 02:34:31,320
Speaker 1: they continued their serge Last sunday. Night they had a

2858
02:34:31,360 --> 02:34:35,840
Speaker 1: massive road victory against The. Chiefs great defensive. Stand if

2859
02:34:35,879 --> 02:34:39,520
Speaker 1: their offensive line can keep C. J stroud upright and C.

2860
02:34:39,720 --> 02:34:43,240

Speaker 1: THE nba. Calendar now to the, participants one of the

2924
02:38:10,720 --> 02:38:12,840

2932
02:38:36,200 --> 02:38:38,360
