Saturday August is sixteenth, and you know what 3 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: that means. 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: We're one week away from week zero. That's right, Week 5 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 2: zero is upon us in just a week. Ah, this 6 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: is it. 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: We got one more. 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: We got a full day of preseason today, which was 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: actually thoroughly enjoyable, even watching Cam last night. 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I've just been more in the preseason 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: this year to ever. So we are here, we're here. 12 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: I know a man who is geeked up and cannot 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: wait to talk all about it. That's my man, Jeff Schwartz. 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: I'm Anthony Gargano together right here from the Fox Sports 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: Radio studies. 16 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: Good morning, my brother, Good morning. Good to hear from you. 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: Going to talk to you, to be on with you. 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean it is football and you don't 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: want it's been exciting. This preseason is because there's been 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: a billion points scored. Literally, I think actually one billion 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: points have been scored last weekend. Last weekend, fourteen of 22 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: the sixteen games went over. Actually I think that includes 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: the whole game, so that that's because the Lions game 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: was a push because it got canceled, remember early last week. 25 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: So I think fourteen of the sixteen games it concluded, 26 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: including the Hall of Fame game, were over, and then 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: last night the first two games flew over the total 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: because the totals are typically you know, the mid thirties 29 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: if they're really low, to high thirties if they're high. 30 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: For the preseason. Forty three last night in Atlanta, and 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: then Seattle alone had thirty three last night against Kansas City. 32 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: But can I started with something else quickly? So I'm 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: I'm a because I'm a sports fan, just like we're 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: all sports, right, I was talking about I just watched sports. 35 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: I went to my first MMA fight last night. You did. Yeah, 36 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: the PFL was here. My buddy calls fights to the PFL, 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: Sean O'Connell on ESPN, and and so I went to 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: my first five. It was a ton of fun. But 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: when you go to to something like that, you maybe 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: don't pay attention to other things. You know that happened 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: throughout the night. So I'm a baseball fan. I'm a 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: Giants baseball fan. And I was looking to the update 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: as we got going, I'm like, oh, I didn't I 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: didn't check the final score for the Giants. Cay, I 45 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: got home, you like eleven thirty last night. You know 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: it was to be eleven Like you know, you say 47 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: goodbye to the nanny and you get in the bed 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: and you go to sleep. Look, I didn't even bother 49 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: to check it. We were up six to three, and 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: I heard the update. I'm like, oh, the Dodgers lost. 51 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: Oh great, Like I love when the Dodgers lose. Like 52 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: great news. And I was actually the Dodgers one last night. 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: I was like, great. You know what, the Giants, who 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: are one and twelve in the last thirteen home games, okay, 55 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: entering last night, had scored five runs in their previous 56 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: five games, like the worst home stretch in the history 57 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: of the Giants history. The Giants stretch to like eight 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: teen eighty. Okay, they're an old franchise. They're up six 59 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: to three. I knew that before I went into the 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: arena last night. At some point up six to three, 61 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: they lost seven to six. Again, lost a game I 62 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: hadn't checked. And I heard the update about the Dodgers winning. 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: I like, you know what'n tak about Giants? You know, 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: like I'm an invest I'm a fan. I want to 65 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: see what's happening. That's what I went to bed last 66 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: night was six to three. That's that's what happened. Went 67 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: to bed six to three, lost seven to six. Baseball 68 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: is a very frustrating sport. I think it's I think 69 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: as a fan it might be the most frustrating sport 70 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: to be like a hardcore watcher of Yeah. I mean 71 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: we call the late innings and close so many games. Yea, 72 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: and when they're bad, it is like it is like football. Yeah, Now, 73 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: bad baseball is horrendous as fuddy. I'm a big baseball fan, 74 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: and it's uh yeah, but your team's fun, right, I mean, 75 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, although in my town if we lose, if 76 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: they lose three in a row, it's the sky's falling. 77 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: But it's baseball. I mean, speaking of which, I mean 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: I was gonna bring this up to Brewers, like, could 79 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: you imagine you're Milwaukee right now? This team they've won 80 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: thirteen in a row. Last night, Jeff third, down eight 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: to one through down eighth to one. They score five 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: and a third and two and a fourth to tie 83 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: the game, and then they scored the sixth and seventh 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: and Yellows hit a home run to put him out 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: nine to eight. I mean, I never see anything like it. 86 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: I mean his team is just got magic written all 87 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: over it. And conversely, the Mets blown. Did you see 88 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: the leads today? 89 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Blown? So I had to make my mouth yesterday and 90 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: the same thing. I was watching the game, like briefly 91 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: everything forty five minutes hour, check my phone at the 92 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: at the event and I'm like, oh, here we go again. 93 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: The bullpen. Isn't it crazy that a bunch of teams 94 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: made deadline deals like the Mets, right bullpen, Yankees bullpen 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: Giants got devers month before the and that they've just 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: been terrible since the deals just haven't worked out. Where 97 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: like the Mariners got a couple of hitters down. I 98 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: think Naylor one of the two has been struggling. And 99 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: Suarez they keep playing last night, but yeah, he's been struggled. 100 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: They keep winning. Look, it doesn't matter the rally. Uh. 101 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,559 Speaker 1: The the Brewers are interesting because like they're they're winning 102 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: these games that they're actually good, you know, some times 103 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: going wins dreams aren't good. And the expectations are going 104 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: to be so high for them this postseason that I 105 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: don't know if they can live up to them. I 106 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: don't know if they're a championship winning team the way 107 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: they're built. And and I say that because I think 108 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: you need to have sort of two things kind of 109 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: w by the way, still not a favorite to win 110 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: the al MVP. I don't understand that. I just look 111 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: at that. I want to make sure I look, Aaron 112 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: Joe is great and all, but like, how do you 113 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: not give it to now? Well? 114 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 2: The other thing too, is I so back in my 115 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: other life when I was a sports writer and I 116 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: used to vote for those awards, and I mean I 117 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: would take into account the fact that the Mariners are winning, right, Like, 118 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a huge piece of it. I get judged, 119 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: but I mean, you're not doing what you're doing without rally, 120 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: are you kidding me? 121 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: So I think Raleigh should should certainly be up there. 122 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: The Brewers though, Okay, so the things that I look 123 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: for in postseason baseball success are really too, right, like, obviously, 124 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: how deep is your starting pitching as we know, and 125 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: then do you have enough guys that can hit the 126 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: big home run? And you look at the rout and 127 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: the rest of the National League. Philly I think is 128 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: up there, right, Philly has the starting pitching, they have 129 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: the bullpen now trade, and then they have the big hitter, 130 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: right the big hitters like that, that to me feels 131 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: like a team that can make. 132 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, the back half of their lineup has to contribute 133 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: a little bit, uh sure, because that's what killed them 134 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: in the last two postseasons. But yeah, and Lozardo has 135 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: been not as good lately, right as a him or 136 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: Sanchez one of the two has been. Yeah, I mean, 137 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: I think they're in a kind of dead arm period. 138 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: Wheeler hasn't really gone and it's been himself. I mean, 139 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 2: he's dominant, but he hasn't been himself. He's velocities down. 140 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: I think he's kind of hit a little bit of 141 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: a wall. Lozardo's had a couple of spells where he'll 142 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: just get hit, tip his pitches. He's had in trouble 143 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: out of the stretch and then uh and Suarez is 144 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: just thawing off. He he it's his walk ear and 145 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: he's kind of showing that he has not put together 146 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: a full season and that was a big deal and 147 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: and he's fallen off a cliff again. 148 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: So but I think I think they'll they'll they'll get 149 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: it back again, this isn't and and then you know 150 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: Dodgers and Podgers have those things. And then the Dodgers 151 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: I think bullpen is a little bit you know, questionable 152 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: heading post season. But I'm not sure that the Brewers 153 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: fit that. They have obviously have had big hits this year, 154 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: but do they have postseason guys they can do it 155 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: in the postseasons? My question? Right, Well, they got one 156 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: for sure, they have one and yellow and yellows, but 157 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: do they have enough? I think the AL has teams 158 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: that fit this mold to a t, right, I mean, 159 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: Mariners are one of them, the Astros or one of them. 160 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: Know again, how deepest are starting pitching, We'll find out. 161 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: My point is I don't know if the Brewers have 162 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: that profile exactly. And now when help these games, everyone's 163 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: gonna expect them to have a deep postseason run. I 164 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: just don't know if they're gonna get there. 165 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean you remember years ago when the 166 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: Mariners win all those games and there an early exit. 167 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: Sometimes you have these, you know, these epic seasons, and 168 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: because playoffs are so fickle, right, the thing about it's 169 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: the most unpredictable of all the postseasons. More than hockey, 170 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: you think, yeah, even more than hockey. I mean, like 171 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: look at last year. I mean you knew how good 172 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: those teams were, Like like how good Florida was, Like 173 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: you knew how. 174 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Good they were the Tampa I think in game one, 175 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: like five to one, everyone freaked out. Yeah, exactly, Like 176 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: it's your point. I mean, obviously there's a lot of 177 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: randomness because of a hot goalie. Right, so you get 178 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: a hot goalie. But the permit baseball is you play 179 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: all these games. And then they added these these other 180 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: tiers of playoffs, right this wild card and all right, 181 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: you get a buye if you're Milwaukee. 182 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 2: Now what happens is your bats go called because it 183 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: seems to hurt the teams, doesn't it. Yes, I've seen 184 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: it time and time again. 185 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: Man, when you're when you sit for a week, Baseball 186 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: is not a sport where you sit for a week. 187 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: I was just having this conversation with my son because 188 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: his last baseball tournament was was this week in Cooperstown, 189 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: which is really awesome, and I hope your boy gets 190 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: to go because it's a it's a cool, cool thing. 191 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: One hundred twelve year old teams in the ninety six 192 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: twelve year old teams go to Cooperstown. They stay in 193 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: like a facility of barracks and you know, they play 194 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: a ton of games all week, they go to the museum. 195 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: It's a really cool experience. Anyway, Like the first the 196 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: first two games, he's scuffling and I go, and he's 197 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: and he's frustrated, and I go, dude, I go, you 198 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: beating football for the last three weeks. 199 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 2: You take off to go to baseball. I go, you 200 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: got to give it a minute, like before you get 201 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: back into a rhythm. He's, well, I hit. I go, yeah, 202 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: you hit for you know, twenty minutes. I go, you 203 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 2: got to get back into that mindset, like it takes 204 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 2: a minute with baseball. And sure enough, he's do when 205 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: I'm having a really good week. But you know, these 206 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 2: teams all of a sudden in the bigs you sit 207 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: for you know, five days, and all the live VP 208 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: doesn't really work right. It's not game situation. I prefer 209 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: simulated games and getting ready. But you gotta it's it's 210 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: hard and your bets go and that's it. And they're quick, right, 211 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: These series are quick. You're out boom and then you 212 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: don't even realize what happened. But to talk about Milwaukee 213 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 2: real quick, I think they do have some magic going on. Nah, 214 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 2: you're you know, you're right, let's see with the postseason. 215 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: But they got guys that are just you know, plucky 216 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: Contrari's he can get a big hit for you, right, 217 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: and you got guys like free Lick and Turang that 218 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: that will you know, just pesky man. 219 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if that if that translates as well. 220 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: And you remember the Giant your Giants, dude, Cody Ross 221 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: and they had that. 222 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they had magic in those series. They 223 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: didn't have magic in the I mean Hunter. 224 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: Peggs was her was horrific in the twenty eleven postseason 225 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: and then he comes back and he's he's the hero. 226 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: And he wasn't very good. I mean he was a 227 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: good ballplayer, but he wasn't great. He was some great hitter. Yeah, no, 228 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: we we go. But the difference I think there is 229 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: like we had our success or magic in the postseason, 230 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: not the regular season. The regular season, Like I think, yeah, 231 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: that's true. I think one of only one of the 232 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: three years he won the division, the Giants won the 233 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: World Series. Yeah, no, I like, yeah, it just happened 234 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: that we just had our success in the postseason like that. 235 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: So that's the thing that is, like, I just I 236 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: agree with you on the Brewer has been obviously very good. 237 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: We know that dumb. I mean, they wouldn't they win 238 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: all these games? But but there's actually I do want 239 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: to like it's about to be expectations like when you 240 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: go in the postseason with this long run, you know, 241 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: do you is it better to lose a few games 242 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: before you get in the postseason, which obviously they will, 243 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: But when you go in this hot and all these expectations, 244 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they can live up to that. 245 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: But I feel like they're going to have us uh 246 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: a postseason with all this expectations, just can't live up 247 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: to it. I hear you. I guess I'd never like 248 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: to lose. And I hear this all the time, like 249 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: with with in football, right where teams go, where fans go, Well, no, 250 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: that's no, they need to lose a game before the playoffs. No, 251 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: I think that's dumb. It is No. I don't want 252 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: to lose. No, I want that. I need to I 253 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: need to magic continue, I need to play good football 254 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: or baseball. I prefer again. But it kind of worries 255 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: me that they're gonna wind up sitting around, but you know, 256 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: because they're gonna get to buy. 257 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: But other than that, yeah, I feel you. I don't 258 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: I hate. I don't want to lose. 259 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: To me, it's more about when it comes to the 260 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: end this time, the end of the year, it's like, 261 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: how are my pitchers feeling? You'll have? How am I 262 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: you know? In football? Right? Are we rested? Are we ready? 263 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: It's less to me about like winning the last game 264 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: of the week the season. It's more about like are 265 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: we ready to play in the postseason? Right? 266 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: And listen, that's why you don't play your you know, 267 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: obviously you don't play your starters if you have the 268 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: division clinched up, right, obviously. 269 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: But. 270 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: You know, the point is, though I would hear it, 271 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: you could be I don't know, you know, on a 272 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: win streak eleven game where nine game win streak, I 273 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: mean I heard it here fans would say, oh, Eagles 274 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: need to lose. 275 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: No, and it's like, hey, no, man, they don't need 276 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: to lose. They need to keep winning. Just no, I 277 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. I did. I do not 278 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: agree with that with that with that mindset of like 279 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: having to lose one end of the season that that's no. 280 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean Eagles and Eagles didn't do it either, they 281 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: just winning. So exactly what why would you want to 282 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: lose before the postseason? You want to rest? Like fine? 283 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: Yea other than that, Yeah, I wouldn't. Uh, I wouldn't 284 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: want to lose Eagles on preseason today, buddy, you know 285 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: it's uh, you fired up, you let your tail get 286 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: ready to go. What do we got don't pay their starters? 287 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: Who cares? Yeah, I mean you know I'm not going 288 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: to go down today. I was at Portunant practice and 289 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: do you agree with the boys afterwards? Yeah?

Now there was no 316 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: way Jay Brown and the Eagles line was was not 317 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: fully intact. But I mean Miles Garrett, he actually had 318 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: to slow down a couple of times because he was 319 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: just wrecking practice. 320 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: He is he is that good of a player, and 321 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: you know, there was that the e clipped the win 322 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: around of him and Lane Johnson doing the one on 323 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: one against each other, and like, those guys are just 324 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: kind of you know, brother in law as we call it.

You know how much is fans? 331 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we're fans here or too. Like, what 332 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: do you take away from joint practice? I think, I wait, 333 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: nothing like I I think if it's so lopside, Like 334 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: there's reports that the Lions just for two days murder 335 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, Okay, that's a little bit of an issue, 336 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: but otherwise, I don't know if I take much of 337 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: a joint practice. Well, you mean, you know better than anybody. 338 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: I mean I only did one of them, Dude, I 339 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: wasn't there really, Yeah, because I so, you know, we 340 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: had double days for the first three years of my career, 341 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: so there were no joint practices. Really, you had very 342 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: very rare and also too a lot of teams went 343 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: away to camp, right, so like the joint practices. I 344 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: went to Kansas City. You know, any Reid doesn't do 345 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: joint practice ever. And then the Giants weren't doing them 346 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: at the time and they do them now. Coughlin was 347 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: not about that, and I went my last year in Detroit. 348 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: We went up to Pittsburgh and it was Jim collell 349 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: was coaching the Lions and Tom and obviously was coaching 350 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: the Steelers, and we had the most cordial practice ever, 351 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: like I expecting like to fight and like and no, 352 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: no one was like the nicest practice ever. It's like, 353 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: no one wasn't that physical, just like a practice. So 354 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: you know, now obviously you know, the guys seems to 355 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: be really important for a lot of teams, But I 356 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: never really I never really played. You're playing a less 357 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: pre one less preseason game, right, and I didn't, But 358 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: yet now everyone does you know I'm talking about now? Yeah, yeah, 359 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: I mean there's a reason for it now, I think. 360 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you're playing the less preseason game. 361 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: The rhythm when you played and you know it better 362 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 2: now and tell you but you know the deal, like 363 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 2: you play a series and the opener, you play a 364 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 2: quarter and change in game two, you play a half 365 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 2: in change in the fair game, and then you'd sit 366 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: at the fourth game and that there was your rhythm. 367 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: I think the rhythm now is they don't want to 368 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: get guys hurt. They don't want to get guys there's starters. 369 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: They're so afraid of it, and they want to get 370 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 2: work done a controlled environment. It's so I think that's 371 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: why you had the joint practice. You see kind of 372 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: gauge where you are with each unit. You could do 373 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: simulated stuff so you could see, like you know, I 374 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: was joking around about Miles, Garrett and Ruin in practice, 375 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 2: but they literally like he had to go at hand 376 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 2: speed at times so they can work on certain. 377 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: Things that that's like in college a Helodi Nodup was 378 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: a Cause teammate organ you know, the Ravens defense alignment 379 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: for so many years and wood lined as well. He's 380 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: like hall of fame talented. I don't know if he 381 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: was as a hall of fame as as basically the 382 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: way he played, because he wasn't he'd have to rush 383 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: the passer, but he he's that good of a player. 384 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: He didn't practice, and so his his rap in college 385 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: coming out was that he was lazy. And the reason 386 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: why is because he didn't practice. He didn't practice because 387 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: he ruined it for it. We could not practice, like 388 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: he literally ruined practice for the offense that that Mike 389 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: Blatti didn't he didn't play. He couldn't practice because he 390 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: we couldn't. You know, there's a point of practice. He 391 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: had to get work done, like that's the point of practice, 392 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: right to work on and Hellodi would just would was 393 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: so good, he would ruin it for us, and we 394 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: couldn't practice. And so he just didn't practice like that's 395 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: why he did in practice. He wasn't lazy, he was 396 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: too good. We couldn't get our work done. That's awesome, 397 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: all right, let's take quick too. We got lots to 398 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: go over.

I love going into weeds with you, man, 423 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: talk talking joint practices. It's the best, man. There's nothing 424 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: like that. There's nothing like it. Here's my question to you, though, 425 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: and I think you you partially. 426 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: Answered it. 427 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: This preseason week one, I'm like really enjoyed. I never 428 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 2: really enjoy preseason. I love it, I say it's great, 429 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: but in reality, you know, you get bored whatever five 430 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 2: minutes of the game. 431 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 432 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 2: It's been holding my attention. And I've probably watched a 433 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 2: ton of games. I mean, I've been in on most 434 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 2: of the games. Why is that? And I've got the 435 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: same reaction from everybody? 436 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: So one three things. One is that we're so happy 437 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: football is back. That's one. Okay, of course, like it's ball, right, 438 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: that's time of like we're all in on watching as 439 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: much football as we can. Okay. Two is that Week 440 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: one saw a lot of starters play, so more than usual. 441 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: And I think when starters play, and look, they didn't 442 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: play a ton, right, Homes played three plays, Okay, week one, 443 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: the vibe of the weekend is different. Right when starters play, 444 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: But the Bills didn't play, you know, Alan didn't play, 445 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: but the rest of the starters played, right, Burrow played 446 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: two drives against your Eagles, And so I think when 447 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: when the starters play, the vibe is different. For the 448 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 1: game in general, I do think that teams take it 449 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: more seriously, like the whole team takes it more seriously 450 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: the way they prepare and play when starters are playing. 451 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: Even if it's just for a limited amount of time, 452 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: I do think. I think that's one thing that knows 453 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: about priests and games with were starters in it. And 454 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: the third thing is, buddy, there were so many points scored, 455 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: Like all preseason games are like, yeah, nine to six, 456 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: You're like, oh boy, this is not fun, right right? 457 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: There were fifty points scored in multiple preseason games. Yeah. 458 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: I mean, heck, the Patriots almost had fifty themselves in 459 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: a preseason game. So like that, that I think is 460 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: a big reason why they were just been a ton 461 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: of points scored. And I don't really have a great 462 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: reason afford other than you're at the point that you 463 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: know the new kickoff rule is leads to a little 464 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: more offense. But then again, the starting field position in 465 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: Week one was only twenty nine yard line, so it 466 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: wasn't like it was a ton of advantage in that situation. 467 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: But you look at at just the the ability to 468 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: get into field goal range much quicker when you have 469 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: this new kickoff rule. And then I think again, like 470 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: a lot of the backup quarterbacks the NFL nowadays are 471 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: they're not starters obviously, but they also like aren't terrible backups. 472 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: Does that make sense, Like I feel like the backup 473 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: quarterback is just a little better now than it's ever been. 474 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: And so when you can have you know, for example, 475 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: like Tanner McGee for the Eagles come in. I know, 476 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: people fall in love with him each and every time 477 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: he plays. It's my favorite. The other prec like trade 478 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: him to someone who wants him, Like if they wanted, 479 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: they would, they would, they would trade for him, like, 480 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: but they don't do. They don't want him because he's 481 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: a great priest. But like you know, you look at 482 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Saws real quick, the teams tried to 483 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: trade for him. They have oh yeah, yeah, no dude, 484 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: why did he give him up? Who cares? 485 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, because they lived through twenty seventeen, 486 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: and in twenty seventeen, I mean everyone remembers, yeah yeah, 487 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 2: Wentz goes down and falls comes in and they in fact, 488 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: four teams have tried to trade tried to trade for 489 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 2: around the draft. 490 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: Uh for McKee. I do wonder though McKay's legit. Dude, 491 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: you gotta trust me on one thing. He's legit. 492 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: Like Kellen Moore, I'll never forget the week Jalen was 493 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: hurt and he wasn't going to play. 494 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: And obviously Jalens Jalen right, like he's the guy. 495 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 2: But I remember Tyn, I remember Kellen talking to Kellen 496 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 2: and he's like, dude, he's going to be good. I'm 497 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 2: really looking forward to it and start in real game. 498 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: Game it mattered. It was in December, and he played well. 499 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: He played. 500 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: He makes throws man, he puts the ball where his 501 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: receivers make plays. He knows he throws a great ball. 502 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: He's got a great feel, he's he's he's pretty athletic 503 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: for a pocket guy. 504 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: He's good. He's very good. And when you have a 505 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: quarterback like Jalen who will get nicked I mean he's 506 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: got nicked up every year, you need a backup like McKay. 507 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: So why didn't he play last year? Picket he did play. 508 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: He was he was in on a game. No but no, 509 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: but he was the number two. 510 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 2: You're right, Picket was the number two, and everybody said 511 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: he should have been the number two coming out of 512 00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: the season. 513 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: He went wound up being the number two. By the end. 514 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: He's much better than Picket. The Browns wanted the Browns 515 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: wanted McKee over. I know this for a fact. The 516 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: Browns wanted McKee over pick it. Okay, I'm curious what 517 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: what there you also do? Like what at some point 518 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: the compensation becomes so much you have to trade for it, 519 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: you have to give him up. I'm curious what what 520 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: they've offered for for for McKee. That's that's also part 521 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: of this question too. But to the point what I'm saying, 522 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: like a lot of these guys, the backup quarterbacks are 523 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: just better now, Like you know the Chiefs and and 524 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: and and uh and and Seahawks last night, Like so 525 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew was this Chiefs backup he started started NFL 526 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: games for many years in the NFL. Drew Lock, like 527 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: these are the backups and Drew Lock is not is 528 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: not great, but he's a serviceable backup of the NFL 529 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: former starting quarterback. Like these guys, they're just betting. There's 530 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: just better starting quarterbacks now, to be better backup quarterbacks 531 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: now that ever before. Because these guys just kind of 532 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: hanging around the NFL because of all the injuries, have 533 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: started a bunch of games, and so you just get 534 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: better quarterback playing the preseason now and that leads, I 535 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: think to a lot of the success we're seeing a 536 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: lot of points and making it more fun for everybody. 537 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they. I think you nailed it, man, 538 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: I do. I think you you nailed it. 539 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: The backup quarterbacks they've bid for these preseasons and they 540 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: could run the offense, so they're they're also they know 541 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: the offense, they run the offense. I think you're right. 542 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: So I think the games are more entertaining. Obviously it's 543 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 2: a bit of where football starved. What is this is 544 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: something I want to I want to dive in with 545 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: you too. But the love affair, I never thought that 546 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: it could get even deeper, the love affair that we 547 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: have with football, Like I thought they had had reached 548 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 2: and reached an apex, you know, a couple of years ago, 549 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: and it's even it's even bigger. And you can't tell 550 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 2: me it's just about you know, gambling and fantasy, because 551 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: you could bet on every sport and you can do 552 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 2: fantasy with every sport, So it can't be just that 553 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 2: there is a There is a love affair in this 554 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 2: country with that sport like no other. I mean, I 555 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: think it's perfectly configured, but man, we just love it. 556 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: I mean, think about the Hall of Fame Game and 557 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: the ratings from this past weekend. They killed the NBA Finals. 558 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: That's the NBA finals and they killed the NBA Finals. 559 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: I think it's a lot of things. One of them 560 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: is it's just very predictable, right, and and you know what, 561 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: you know what you're getting when you turn on the NFL. 562 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: This is not to dog other sports, but it does matter. 563 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: Like if I turn on a regular season NBA, I 564 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 2: don't know what I'm getting, you know, Like I are 565 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: we trying hard tonight? Like are we are we playing 566 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 2: as hard as we can? Starters playing? Do you care 567 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 2: about winning this game? Those are questions I don't have 568 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 2: for the NFL well, any of those questions. Right, every week, 569 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: every week is played like as a super Bowl, So 570 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: that that's important I think for fans, right that you 571 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 2: want to feel that as a fan there is urgency 572 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 2: in football where you know every game feels like it 573 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 2: matters because it does. 574 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: It's a short, limited amount of of gameplay that you 575 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: have to to win. So all those things I think 576 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: are very important to why we get excited for football 577 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: and why we watch so much football. Again, it's a 578 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: known product, right, we know what you're I think you 579 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: know what you're getting each week, you know the rhythm 580 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: of the game, you know the players. Obviously, fantasy and 581 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: gambling certainly helps to your points. You know, you've been 582 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: able to gamble for years. There's nothing it's obviously legal 583 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: now for those who who enjoy such a thing. I 584 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: would never do. You want, can I tell you a 585 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: good live gambling story from last night? So I met 586 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: this fight, okay, and they offer live They'll offer live adds, right, 587 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: and I'm there in the arena, so I should have 588 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: a little I should have a ten second window over 589 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: the sports book. Okay. So the fun I told you 590 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: about with the the two ladies, the two women with 591 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: the son, was sitting in the front row in front 592 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: of me, and very clearly after two rounds his mom was, 593 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: I thought, and they're going to knock out the opponent, 594 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: like she was sort of landing punches to the other opponent, 595 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: and it seemed like clear that was gonna it was gonna 596 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: happen soon. So I had my sports book opened, okay, 597 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 1: and her she was minus two eighty to win, to win, 598 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: to win, to win, to win the fight, all right, 599 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: And so I put in a wager. I was comfortable with. 600 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: All right, I didn't press I didn't press like wager. 601 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: I didn't pressed like the buttons right to hit the wager. 602 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna wait until she knocked out the opponent. Okay, 603 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: ah right, yeah, sure she knocked out the opponent. I 604 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: hit the button to put the wager in, and I 605 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: got it in before they locked the wagers. Wow. Yeah yeah, 606 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: woa to score man. Yeah, like that's obvious something you 607 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: do like and I did a very low amount, so like, 608 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not getting my I can't get a 609 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: flag for doing that. But uh right. I did also 610 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: lose a live wager previously, so I was like wagering 611 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: on the event like as it was going on. So 612 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't like I just like, look like I'm an 613 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: algorithm or bought just like purposely. But yeah, I mean 614 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: I got very lucky I had. I had seven seconds 615 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: to do this and I did it. Yeah. Wow that's 616 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: cool man, that's fun. Yeah again, I'm a degenerate, so 617 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: take it for what it is. But so I think 618 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. Like, It's just it's 619 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: it's very familiar. Football is very familiar. You know, the 620 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: rhythm of the games, you know, you know the rhythm 621 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: of what the season is going to be. You know, 622 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: each and every week, guys are giving it their you know, 623 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: their best effort. Yeah, like it's it's just important to 624 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: everyone each and every each and every week. And uh 625 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: of course, like there's a masculinity to like the physicality 626 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: to the game, which I think is important. You know, 627 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 1: people like watching I mean again like last night. Again, 628 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: first I don't talk about a lot, but like my 629 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: first ever and I felt like I was like, oh, oh, 630 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: they're hitting. Oh, they're hitting each other, Like come on, 631 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: let's go. Like it's like a little bit of like 632 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: a little juice.

All right, So 820 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 1: let's speak of a school. 821 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 2: Let's dive into it, because Top twenty five came out 822 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 2: this week, all right, and let me just get your 823 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 2: reaction to just the rankings in general. 824 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: And you could say too high, too low, or just right? Okay, okay, 825 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: So we'll start at the bottom. I'm gonna go all 826 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: twenty five and Boise's twenty five. It's about it's about right. 827 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they lose gent, but they still have 828 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: some The quarterback's back and they still have some pieces 829 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: that I think you have to like just and I 830 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: think this is like a you know, you had a 831 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 1: good year last year, we'll we'll we'll put you twenty five. 832 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 1: Fire with Tennessee at twenty four. So I'm a little 833 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 1: lower on Tennessee this year than I think a lot 834 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 1: of people are. They obviously have a quarterback they have 835 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: to replace and I'm not sure Aguilar is that that good. 836 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: He did well at app State. They have to also 837 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: replace I think their entire offensive line, Like they lose 838 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: a lot of offense wide receivers. It does feel like 839 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: a kind of a reset year because next year they 840 00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: have a five star quarterback that's in the twenty twenties. 841 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: It's in this class that's supposed to be the next 842 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 1: quarterback of their future. And so I think I think 843 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: twenty four is probably high for them. I don't. I 844 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: don't think they'll finish the year ranked, but obviously look again, 845 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: but some of this is just based off your success 846 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: from last season, and they obviously have earned, you know, 847 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 1: the ability to be this high based off of a 848 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 1: playoff rom last year. Agreed, And I don't think they'll 849 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: be ranked at the end. I do think that there 850 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: things will look up in two years for them. Uh, 851 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: Texas Tech at twenty three, they have a chance to 852 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: be pretty good. Yeah, everyone everyone's on them this year. 853 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 1: I think the Big twelve is pretty unpredictable this season, 854 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 1: so I feel like there's a slew of teams that 855 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 1: could win. This feels about right for Texas Tech, right 856 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 1: A team that hasn't you know that it hasn't had 857 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 1: the record to be up here, but that teams people 858 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: really think like there are people that legitimately think like 859 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: they're gonna win the Big Twelve, like they're one of 860 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: the teams that can win the Big Twelve. I don't know. 861 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: They're spending money like crazy, though. I'll tell you that 862 00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:01,240 Speaker 1: they're obviously benefiting from the new rules for are paying players. 863 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, in a big way. Iowa State coming in 864 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,919 Speaker 2: at twenty two. My man Rocco becked. 865 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, they So they return obviously Rocco, which is hugely important, right, 866 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, they just gotta know Anthony well, right, I 867 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: don't know Anthony well obviously, I know him as a 868 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: player and I followim on social media. You know, he 869 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: coaches obviously in the you know, in the battle at 870 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 1: least he did last start at the Battle Hawks. Fear 871 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,839 Speaker 1: he still does, Yeah, he still does. Anthony Beck. We're 872 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: talking about former tight end for the Jets. His son, 873 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 1: Rocco is the quarterback at Iowa State and one of 874 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 1: the great people of really good dude. So I don't 875 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: know him personally, but I of course I know him 876 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: as a player, and so I think you know, look, 877 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: when you bring back a quarterback who is that skilled 878 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 1: and who's played football that long, that's a huge bonus. Right. 879 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: The thing about Iowa State is that they're just sort 880 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: of you know, Matt Campbell gets a lot of love, 881 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 1: as he should, but Dan, actually, we don't win as 882 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 1: many games as we think in a given year. It's 883 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 1: interesting to you know, the Iowa State has it's never 884 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 1: I think, never won ten games like we talk about them. 885 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: Let me make sure I have this right. They're one 886 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,239 Speaker 1: of the They won eleven in the last year because 887 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: the bowl game that was there, there was their most 888 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: there was their winning. So they changed from last year 889 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 1: that there was a winning season in history. It was 890 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: eleven three last year. Prior to that, they never won 891 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:32,319 Speaker 1: ten games. They never have an entire program history. So 892 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: you go eleven and three. They win the pop Tarts Bowl. 893 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: Of course you want the who doesn't win the pop 894 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: Tarts Bowl. So great success for them. And when you 895 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 1: return the quarterback, I think they should probably be a 896 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: little higher. I agree. I agree with you. You know, 897 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: it had low compared to it. I think the returning 898 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: quarterback is so important to me. It's just it's so 899 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: it's such a value you to have. Now I kind 900 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: of look at the roster to see if the rest 901 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: of the how much they return. I'm looking actually right 902 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:12,839 Speaker 1: now to see returning production ors Big twelve, that returning production. Again, 903 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,280 Speaker 1: we're so quickly as we talk about this, returning production 904 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: is gonna be something that everyone talks about, right And 905 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,959 Speaker 1: it's obviously you know, how many players are you coming 906 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: back at each side of the ball, offensive, defense, how 907 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: many snaps they played? It's not the be all end 908 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,359 Speaker 1: all for success or in the season, because you know, 909 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 1: you the guys that come back, it depends on who 910 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 1: they are, right are Are they coming back because they 911 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,479 Speaker 1: just have eligibility? Are they coming back because they're pros 912 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 1: who are staying back another year? Those those all matter 913 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: because there's a difference right between like I'm you know, 914 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: pros are coming back, like Ohio State had a bunch 915 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: of players come back last year right to play. Are 916 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 1: they coming back because they want to win a championship? 917 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 1: Are they coming back just because they're you know, they're 918 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 1: just they don't have any choices, right because they eas 919 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 1: either graduate or you know, or or be done. So 920 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 1: Iowa State loses. I think both their wide receivers are 921 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 1: looking right now and this feels about right for Iowa State. 922 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:12,399 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Old Miss at twenty one. 923 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: Sure Lane, we know can design, you know offensively. They 924 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: lose a lot too, A lot of these you lose 925 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback to start with. Yeah, we're gonna see We're 926 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: gonna see a kind of a trend for a lot 927 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 1: of these teams of just losing a lot. The top 928 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 1: of their of their team feels feels a tad high. 929 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 1: They recruit well though. How about the fighting signettes from 930 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 1: Indiana after the they were in the Darling last year. 931 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: I get to do Big tim media Day, I cover 932 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:50,760 Speaker 1: Big Day and I get to go to to Vegas 933 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: and whatnot. Every time I hear said Nettie talk, I 934 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: just want one through a wall bro that does have 935 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 1: that reaction. Yeah, he's just like he's good. He's he's 936 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,359 Speaker 1: also like so honest, like he just says to us, 937 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, our d tackles have to be better. 938 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch him in training camp to see who 939 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 1: wins that job for rewarding their season last year. This 940 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: feels a perfect spot for them. I will give you 941 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: a name to watch this season out of Indiana. Francisco 942 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 1: Mendoza is a quarterback. He's a Cal transfer. Yep, there's 943 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,720 Speaker 1: about four people in the country that watch Cal football. 944 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: I'm one of them just because I pat twelve guy 945 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 1: and I pay attention. He's really good, Okay, like I 946 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 1: think that he's he's better than Curtis Warwick, who they 947 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 1: had last year. But they do. They did lose like 948 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 1: a lot of production, so it's important positions, and I 949 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: just don't know if they've recruited at the level to 950 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,280 Speaker 1: sustain the success they had last year. Came out of nowhere, 951 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 1: had a pretty favorable schedule, as we know, which does 952 00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,720 Speaker 1: matter a great year. But this feels about right for Indiana. 953 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 1: I mean they're looking at probably air Night wins, which 954 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,719 Speaker 1: is put you in with the bottom of the top 955 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: twenty five. 956 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 2: How about the Aggies of Texas, A and M coming 957 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 2: in at nineteen. 958 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 1: It feels about right right, I'll go second season, got 959 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: better season went on last year. I'm expected them to 960 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,160 Speaker 1: be better. You expect them to be better last year. 961 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: It's bect to be better now. I'm expecting them to 962 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: be better this year. I felt last year lag when returns. 963 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 1: I think from an injury a couple of years ago, 964 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: so they have some better nests there. They returned a 965 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: bunch of production on offense. 966 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 2: I know, I'm expecting them to be better. I haven't 967 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 2: expected them to finish higher. 968 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 1: But so you like with that right now? I like them. 969 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,320 Speaker 1: I like A and M so you know, like Oklahoma's eighteen, 970 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 1: I like them better than Oklahoma. Oklahoma's pretty interesting to 971 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,839 Speaker 1: me because Jra Matier can freaking ball. Their quarterback who 972 00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 1: they got from Washington State. Now who are watching Washington 973 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 1: played full ball. Dude is a legitimate like he's he 974 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,239 Speaker 1: he's so. We also saw Cam Wore last year go 975 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 1: to Miami and them well the draft. I'm not sure 976 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: John Mate is going number one in the draft, but 977 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 1: the dude can play. They hired his offensive coordinator too, 978 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: which I think is sort of important when you when 979 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 1: you have you know, you bring in your coordinator two sure, 980 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 1: so they got the coordinator there as well. The question, obviously, 981 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: I think, is just defensively, like what are you getting 982 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: from the defense, which again was was decent last year. 983 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 1: And the other thing too, they were so injured at 984 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver last season that they're not gonna be that 985 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: bad this year in wide receiver. But they just gets 986 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: some wide receiver production like that. There, it's not a 987 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: defense comes along. Look it should with well venables and 988 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: but Tier is that good. I think they got a 989 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 1: chance to be to be better than we think. I think. 990 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: I think all right, I like Tier. Obviously it was 991 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: a rough week for him with the Venmo scandal. Not 992 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:00,719 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's a make of that. I mean, 993 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,800 Speaker 1: so obviously I like the sports wager. I cover it 994 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 1: for a living, it's my job. I so I I 995 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 1: know why leagues are so tough on players who gamble, right, 996 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,439 Speaker 1: And the number one reason why is when you watch 997 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: a game, right, we're gonna watch baseball today, We're gonna 998 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 1: watch NFL preseason. We're gonna watch there's a one w 999 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,760 Speaker 1: n A game. I think there's golf on obviously, there's tennis. Whatever. 1000 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,640 Speaker 1: We watch these games today, we need we need as 1001 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 1: fans to know the game is being played by players 1002 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 1: who are who are competing to win and lose. And 1003 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: that's it, right, It's all they're competing for. And as 1004 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,319 Speaker 1: soon as you think players are on the take are 1005 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,400 Speaker 1: fixing games, it ruins the integrity of what you're watching. 1006 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: That's why sports leagues protected it so much. Right, But 1007 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 1: I I fail to get worked up, So I say 1008 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,919 Speaker 1: that on one side, right, like play, I get why 1009 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 1: you know. NFL players can't beat on the NFL, college 1010 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 1: players can't bet on college football, so so on and 1011 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,240 Speaker 1: so forth. I get it. Baseball player shouldn't been on baseball. 1012 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 1: But I but I also don't see the harm. If 1013 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 1: you're GEOMETERI sitting at home watching UC on USC play 1014 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 1: and you want to put ten, fifteen, twenty bucks in 1015 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 1: that game, you can like you have no connection to 1016 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 1: that game whatsoever. Right even if even if you have 1017 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 1: a connection to the game. I know, people throw stuff 1018 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,320 Speaker 1: out there Anthony like he might know the injury status 1019 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 1: of someone. It's probably unlikely that he knows it and 1020 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 1: Vegas doesn't. It's kind of the way it works. I mean, 1021 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,760 Speaker 1: I hear injury stuff from people I know in Vegas 1022 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 1: much quicker than I hear it from anyone who covers 1023 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:41,040 Speaker 1: the sport. There's nothing he's gonna know. Oh he knows 1024 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: the scheme, I mean not really, I know schemes doesn't matter. 1025 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean, to me, I win every NFL wager or 1026 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: college football wager so I'm talking about two sides of 1027 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 1: my mouth. There was I agree that we really should 1028 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 1: limit players wagering on their own sport, but I also 1029 00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,040 Speaker 1: don't think it's a big deal. If he's sitting on 1030 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,600 Speaker 1: his couch watching you see USC play Packed one after dark, 1031 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,719 Speaker 1: he puts a couple of dollars down the game. I like, 1032 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,280 Speaker 1: I hear you. Did you hear what Michael Porter Junior 1033 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 1: said this week? Yeah, well Michael Porter Junior said a 1034 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 1: bunch of crazy stuff. So I kind of will I 1035 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: think I will ignore what he had to say. But yeah, 1036 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean they'll say he likes I think Andrew he 1037 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 1: likes to show women Andrew Dave videos. Let's see how 1038 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 1: they react, which is a scud back thing to do. 1039 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: So I, uh, yeah, I already said. But also again, okay, 1040 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 1: I want to make this point. It is a point 1041 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 1: I have real quick just for those people didn't. 1042 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 2: He was talking about how you know it's such a problem, 1043 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 2: and especially with taking care of your friends, Like if 1044 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 2: you said, well, if I can get my friends to 1045 00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 2: make twenty grand because I pull off you bet all 1046 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 2: my unders and Mike because I strained my calf in 1047 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 2: the first quarter, what does it really matter. 1048 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,000 Speaker 1: Okay, this is off the John day Porter thing his 1049 00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 1: younger guy. So here's why I I just it's worth 1050 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 1: pointing out. Okay, So with legal sports wagering, Uh, these 1051 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 1: sports books could track all your wagers, right, they know, 1052 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,080 Speaker 1: we know your activity, know who you are, and there's 1053 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 1: a thing called limits. Right. So what happens is, you know, 1054 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 1: if you win too much, especially, a sports book will 1055 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 1: shut off how much you can wager, like I got. 1056 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 1: I got shut off by fanatics within like six months 1057 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: of using their sports book. I'll call them out because 1058 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 1: I think it's terrible. I think limiting is a choice 1059 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 1: is for what I wager. It's atrocious. I don't wager 1060 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: that much money. I should never be limited. I'm a 1061 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm a drop in the bucket, Okay, And what I 1062 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,919 Speaker 1: compared to other people that don't even as much money 1063 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,800 Speaker 1: as I do. They just I don't do it for 1064 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 1: the money. I do it for competition, Like I want 1065 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,080 Speaker 1: to win my wagers. If I lose it, it sucks. 1066 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 1: But whatever disclaimer always is right, you can you should 1067 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 1: only wager the amount you're willing to lose. Right, that's 1068 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: a disclaimer all the time. And so they have these 1069 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:05,920 Speaker 1: They thing called limits, right, and they track how much 1070 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,080 Speaker 1: you wager on things. So Michael Porter said, if I 1071 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: can make my homies like ten grand, you can't wager 1072 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 1: first of all, randomly, like I can't wager just ten 1073 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 1: grand and anything randomly, I get flagged immediately. This happens 1074 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 1: to all these cases, right, is you These people are 1075 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 1: wagering more than their average. And then if it's a 1076 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 1: random thing like a Michael Porter prop, they would be like, well, 1077 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 1: that's weird. Why is Jeff Schwartz doing this? Now he 1078 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: knows something, and those bets get flagged immediately. And now 1079 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,840 Speaker 1: you could spread the ten grand over seven sports books 1080 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 1: and probably not get caught. Put you know, a g 1081 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 1: on on, you know a g and then you put 1082 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:46,760 Speaker 1: a little cup extra here and there, like you might 1083 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 1: never get coffee spread over seven sports books, eight nine, 1084 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,439 Speaker 1: ten sports books. The problem is no one ever does that, right, 1085 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 1: So or you always wager ten grand everything and they 1086 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: don't even catch you when you do it. On Michael Porter. 1087 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 1: The point is it's a lot harder to do than 1088 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 1: he says. Now, if you use a bookie, maybe that's easier, Anthony, 1089 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's still old school bookies that are around. 1090 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,040 Speaker 1: But it's not as easy as Michael Porter makes out 1091 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 1: to be. It's why these players keep getting caught because. 1092 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 2: Well, the class say, the guys on the guardians, the 1093 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 2: pitchers that when you're tipping off the ball one, then 1094 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 2: all of a sudden that there's and the ball that's 1095 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 2: throwing action are betting real money on ball one. 1096 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 1: That triggers the algorithm. So it here's the red flag 1097 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 1: and ok, again, I gamble a lot. You gotta be 1098 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 1: a pretty big degenerate to Campbell on the first pitch 1099 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: of an inning. And also like again, the ball was 1100 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 1: also you know the man, it's sixty feet six inches 1101 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 1: from the rubber to the home plate. When you throw 1102 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,160 Speaker 1: the ball forty seven feet into the ground, it's pretty 1103 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 1: obvious to tell what you're doing too. I mean, they 1104 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,680 Speaker 1: didn't even try to hide it. So I heard what 1105 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 1: Porter said, but I think it's import possible to really 1106 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 1: pull it off at a level that he claims he 1107 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 1: thinks that his homies can get off at. You know 1108 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: what I mean, Right right now, I feel you. 1109 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 2: All right, we will come back and finish the top 1110 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 2: twenty five. As we look at our college preview looking forward, 1111 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 2: to that man that starts next week. 1112 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,640 Speaker 1: We got real football from Ireland, doublin and we have 1113 01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,880 Speaker 1: we also have a a Stanford Hawaii game.

Good last year. 1141 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 1: I always solid program, know what to expect from them, 1142 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 1: which is important when I think it comes to top 1143 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 1: twenty fives. Yeah. How about at SMU sixteen. Yeah, I 1144 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 1: just I don't think they're then have this season they 1145 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: had last year. But again, a lot of this is 1146 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 1: based off what you did last season. So I'm okay 1147 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 1: with sort of rewarding them for what happened last year. Sure, 1148 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 1: so this is uh, this is a team I like. 1149 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 1: I like Florida fifteen. Well, the problem is you just 1150 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 1: don't know what if Blackway's healthier or not. 1151 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 2: Yes, now I'm going on the fact that he's going 1152 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 2: to be healthy. 1153 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 1: So this is interesting because you know, there's two ways 1154 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 1: to build to build programs, right, There's three ways. One is, 1155 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, you get somewhere if you're a new coach 1156 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,640 Speaker 1: and you just you portal heavy early on, which you 1157 01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,800 Speaker 1: sort of have to do sometimes, right, yes, very famously 1158 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 1: he has done that. You Purdue this year, right, Barry 1159 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 1: Odom goes to Purdue from U and LV. He has 1160 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 1: like seventy new players. Sometimes you have to just you 1161 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 1: have to do it. But then you know you want 1162 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 1: to as you portal in players and you build your 1163 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 1: program early, you also have to recruit the high school kids, right, 1164 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 1: so you can do a swe of both, right, high 1165 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 1: school players and portal players, and then eventually the portal 1166 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 1: you get less and less portally. Organ's a good example 1167 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: of this, Right, they went heavy portal early in Landing's tenure, 1168 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,000 Speaker 1: and they've gone less portal as his players have developed, 1169 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 1: and now time for young guys to play. Right, That's 1170 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:42,120 Speaker 1: just the way it works. And or so that's that's 1171 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,160 Speaker 1: two ways. The third way is you just go young 1172 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 1: early and you just struggle early on and you build 1173 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: up the young players. You know, Billy Napier has chosen 1174 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 1: the last option, right, he's gone young, has hit the 1175 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 1: portal terribly hard. And this is the year as guys 1176 01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 1: are starting to play as young guys are playing now, 1177 01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:02,280 Speaker 1: so you know, it's a lot of unknown right that 1178 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,480 Speaker 1: they're hoping that the guys they developed in the program 1179 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:09,160 Speaker 1: are ready to give it, to give it their best, 1180 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, And I just don't. I don't know. I 1181 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:17,880 Speaker 1: thought there's a lot of unknown early on with Florida. Yeah, 1182 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 1: a lot of ways good though. If he's healthy, as 1183 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 1: always healthy, he's really good. I think they're gonna be 1184 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,320 Speaker 1: good defensively. I do. 1185 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 2: Again, you're right, I mean obviously about the Languay's health, 1186 01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,080 Speaker 2: but I'm going on that premise and I'm wanted. 1187 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: For them based off of like the way they played 1188 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: the last two years. 1189 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know. I just think they're going 1190 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:44,120 Speaker 2: to be better. We'll see. Uh, it's gonna be interesting 1191 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 2: between them and Miami. 1192 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami is just I think so far ahead of 1193 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 1: them talent wise and development of Florida, but. 1194 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 2: Not on the defensive side of the ball. You were 1195 01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 2: telling me, I don't believe in Miami's defense. 1196 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 1: Defense a lot of them Miami though, like they got 1197 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,520 Speaker 1: some dudes right, I mean, this is the same same 1198 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 1: sort of idea like they they went, you know, they 1199 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 1: they they're all the young guys are ready to play now. 1200 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 1: So like Miami's got some Marle came to recruit, man, 1201 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 1: he recruit, so like they got dudes, Like that's Miami's 1202 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 1: got dudes. As a matter of you know, let's say 1203 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: we'll get to Miami in about five spots. So yeah, 1204 01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 1: so Michigan at fourteen, oh man, I think they're a 1205 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 1: year away. So they're they're so interesting. Obviously, you know, 1206 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 1: Sheearan Moore has got more trouble yesterday. But whatever, who cares. 1207 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 1: Maybe these guys can pay the players now. I I'm 1208 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 1: just like a barely punished guys. Obviously, if they were 1209 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 1: if they were cheating, this was not a payment player thing. Obviously, 1210 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 1: if they were cheating at a level to where they 1211 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 1: actually got intel on teams that wasn't readily available. I mean, 1212 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,560 Speaker 1: their signs are readily available, like you can just you 1213 01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 1: can steal the science. That's not, to me, not a 1214 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,400 Speaker 1: terrible thing. But if they were doing it in a 1215 01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,320 Speaker 1: way that was a legal which they were, that I 1216 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 1: have a problem with that a little bit. If it 1217 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,880 Speaker 1: helped them win games, don't We don't know. Jim got 1218 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 1: banned to ten years. He's never come back. So that's 1219 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 1: doesn't it Okay, So Michigan is interesting. So you know, 1220 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: when you win as much as the Michigan went, you know, 1221 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 1: won for those hardball years, you have a talent dump 1222 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 1: eventually where all your guys go pro. And that's what 1223 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,120 Speaker 1: Michigan has had. All their guys went pro. Offensive, defensive line, quarterback, 1224 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,880 Speaker 1: tight ends, and you have to replace those guys. Obviously, 1225 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 1: Now Sharon Moore is done a good job of bringing 1226 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 1: in talent. It's a very talented team, but there's a 1227 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 1: lot of players that are sort of getting their first 1228 01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,920 Speaker 1: opportunity to start. And to your point about being a 1229 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 1: year away, it feels like they are the year away 1230 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,240 Speaker 1: as these guys are now getting the opportunity to get 1231 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 1: in the field to make a difference. And obviously quarterback, right, 1232 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 1: so Bryce Underwoods eighteen years old, Yeah, it actually might 1233 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 1: be seventeen. Still their true victional corp who they paid 1234 01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:05,520 Speaker 1: obviously very famously paid a lot of money for. And 1235 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 1: their schedule is brutal to start. They have away games 1236 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 1: in the first month this season at Alabama at Oklahoma. 1237 01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,439 Speaker 1: They might start Mikey King just so the freshman doesn't 1238 01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,720 Speaker 1: have to play to be in a situation. I mean, 1239 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: look at your schedule. You brought it up, which is 1240 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,400 Speaker 1: great and it's the truth. So you open it in 1241 01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:26,799 Speaker 1: New Mexican, you open home New Mexico. Then you're in Norman. 1242 01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:28,320 Speaker 1: That's a tough game. 1243 01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 2: Home Central Michigan at Nebraska, that's a tough game. 1244 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,640 Speaker 1: So it's Nebraska. It's not Alabama. Nebraska right at Nebraska. 1245 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:40,560 Speaker 2: That's I'm closting Matt Rules podcast. 1246 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,599 Speaker 1: So we just take a couple of episodes. My surprise 1247 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 1: team in the big in the Big Ten is them 1248 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,679 Speaker 1: there there. I've said it very loudly this year. They're 1249 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,160 Speaker 1: my Indiana of the Big Ten this year. 1250 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 2: I agree with you. Man I Matt in year three. 1251 01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,519 Speaker 1: Well, Roola is I I get it. He looks like 1252 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 1: mahomes He but like dude, he gets a little corny 1253 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 1: sometimes he tom about it big tip media day. I 1254 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 1: asked him, I asked like, well, you know what do 1255 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 1: you like? You know what do you want to work on? 1256 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,559 Speaker 1: Like what'd you see in your game last year? And 1257 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: he gave the best answer. Again he's he's his true 1258 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 1: sophomore and he's gonna relate to braceone in a second. 1259 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:25,559 Speaker 1: I promise you he mentioned situations two minute third down. 1260 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,599 Speaker 1: You know, he said specifically, he doesn't have to win 1261 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,559 Speaker 1: the game in the first quarter, like you know, it's 1262 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:36,160 Speaker 1: a long game. Being under control it is. I don't 1263 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,880 Speaker 1: think we give true freshman quarterbacks the grace they deserve 1264 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 1: to have. It's very hard to play the true freshman 1265 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: any position, quarterback obviously even more and he played as 1266 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 1: a true freshman. Like the amount of experience he means 1267 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,320 Speaker 1: from that, it's gonna be so valuable. So back to 1268 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:56,520 Speaker 1: Michigan quickly. 1269 01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,320 Speaker 2: Hey, real quick, because you brought something up and it 1270 01:09:58,479 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 2: really bugs me if. 1271 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 1: They play Bryce Underwood early on as a real quick Jeff, 1272 01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 1: I want to follow up with something you just said 1273 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: because it bugs me people giving that kid guph because 1274 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,280 Speaker 1: he imitates mahomes. 1275 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 2: Kobe imitated Mike when he was I saw Kobe when 1276 01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:24,800 Speaker 2: he was seventeen. He was imitating Mike's whole life. There's 1277 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 2: nothing wrong with imitating greatness. I mean, I don't get 1278 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 2: why that kid takes any kind of guf from it. 1279 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 1: People are losers. I don't know. They want They want to. 1280 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,160 Speaker 2: Bob and Dad always Bob is me so anyway, Like, 1281 01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,600 Speaker 2: why wouldn't you want to imitate Mahomes. 1282 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 1: I agree. I think that people look at it and 1283 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,600 Speaker 1: think it's it's I guess odd, I don't really know. 1284 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,760 Speaker 1: It's eighteen like his idol's Mahome about why would you 1285 01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 1: not want to be? And also he gets the opportunity 1286 01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 1: because of his family, like he has relationships with these 1287 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks as well, like he talks Matt Stafford, he talks 1288 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:02,760 Speaker 1: to Mahomes, like he has the ability to have these 1289 01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 1: relationships too. So like if that's just I know, like 1290 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:10,160 Speaker 1: good for him, like be Mahomes, But nonetheless, probably Underwood 1291 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 1: eighteen year old for Michigan might being might be seventeen. 1292 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna it's gonna be hard. It's hard to play 1293 01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 1: the true freshman tough conference. You know, the pieces of 1294 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,599 Speaker 1: a round him at wide receiver. Are they good enough? Yet? 1295 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,840 Speaker 1: Lost a lot offensive linement over the years. My point 1296 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,720 Speaker 1: in Michigan is I think they're year away. Like like 1297 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,639 Speaker 1: you said, this year could be a little bit difficult. 1298 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 1: Seven eight wins somewhere around there.

I 1316 01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:48,720 Speaker 1: like sellers. I don't know, I feel like it's pretty high. 1317 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:53,360 Speaker 1: So you look at their schedule, so you know it 1318 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:58,719 Speaker 1: is interesting. You got VA Tech to start it off, 1319 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 1: then a Cala State vanderblt at Missou Home, Kentucky, and 1320 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:11,720 Speaker 1: then at LSU on October the eleven. Easy look at 1321 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 1: this stretch and this is why I think they're too high. 1322 01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:23,519 Speaker 1: At LSU home Oclahome home Alabama, then at Old Miss, 1323 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 1: then at A and M. That's a rough stretch, man, Yeah, 1324 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 1: it is. I'm curious about them, right, I mean, you 1325 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,880 Speaker 1: know when you they're a program that has a little 1326 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 1: bit of hype going for them. Yeah, it's a different 1327 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 1: off season when there's hype involved. So I'm curious, like 1328 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,800 Speaker 1: how mentally they prepared for this and gone themselves ready Again, 1329 01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,960 Speaker 1: It's it's hard when you have the hype on you 1330 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time. All right. 1331 01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 1: Uh And then speaking of hype, it doesn't get more 1332 01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:01,679 Speaker 1: hyped up than Illinois. Who everybody thinks is this year 1333 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:07,640 Speaker 1: is Indiana? Yeah, I uh bee him a seems like 1334 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,160 Speaker 1: he'd be a lot of fun to play for. But 1335 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 1: they got They got pretty lucky in a lot of 1336 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:17,680 Speaker 1: games last year. So here's my question about them. So 1337 01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:24,160 Speaker 1: last season they do you remember the game had against 1338 01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 1: Rutgers where they needed like it was like the last 1339 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,120 Speaker 1: one of the last part of the game had a 1340 01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 1: fluke like touchdown Okay to win that game. Okay, I 1341 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,960 Speaker 1: forget They're not win that game most most times, right, 1342 01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:37,920 Speaker 1: I'd say like out of one hundred times they win, 1343 01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,320 Speaker 1: they win it ninety nine. I mean, I mean they 1344 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 1: lose like the Bears washing. Yes, it wasn't a hail Mary, 1345 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,439 Speaker 1: but they caught a pass and they ran for a while. 1346 01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:51,639 Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. They lose that game to Rutgers. We 1347 01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 1: look at their season much differently. They were There were 1348 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,200 Speaker 1: five and one in one score games, which you know 1349 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 1: again that that's a metric to look at at the times. 1350 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 1: It's not the ball. I know, I know they were 1351 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,800 Speaker 1: turning a ton. They were turning a ton. But to 1352 01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,880 Speaker 1: my point earlier, like are they were turning a bunch 1353 01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 1: of pro guys, like the guys that decided to come 1354 01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,720 Speaker 1: back they had a chance to go pro. Not really right, 1355 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,920 Speaker 1: They were turning some good players, but the Altmeyer's fine. 1356 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,640 Speaker 1: They also they played play basically two teams that had 1357 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:25,599 Speaker 1: a pulse. Okay, Penn State. Now the game was the 1358 01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,120 Speaker 1: final score was I think closer than the game felt. 1359 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,400 Speaker 1: And they went to Oregon and were down thirty one 1360 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,599 Speaker 1: nothing to Oregon. I just I just don't think they're 1361 01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,759 Speaker 1: as good as people want them to be. People are 1362 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 1: searching terribly for the next Indiana, and I just I 1363 01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 1: don't think it's them. So I would say that they're 1364 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,320 Speaker 1: they're too high, all right. 1365 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,640 Speaker 2: I would agree with that. Arizona State. I think it's 1366 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:49,559 Speaker 2: a little high too. 1367 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,280 Speaker 1: I think they're high to Scatty. We did so much 1368 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 1: of them last season, and I think we're discounting how 1369 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 1: important he was to their success. 1370 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,839 Speaker 2: Miami at he now we touched on them briefly. 1371 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:06,640 Speaker 1: You like the Canes. Well, what we're hearing is that 1372 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,160 Speaker 1: Carson Banks having a great camp. Remember Carson Bank was 1373 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,680 Speaker 1: like a favorite to win a Heisman, number one overall, 1374 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 1: like he was looked at in that way. Their offensive 1375 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:21,120 Speaker 1: line is really good. It's a Mario group. We're gonna 1376 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,200 Speaker 1: go and so again like they're sort of mature, like 1377 01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,080 Speaker 1: they're all the guys they've added them maturing now, right, 1378 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: it's a time. It's just what's what happens in this sport. 1379 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,240 Speaker 1: They have some some wide receivers who they really like. Defensively, 1380 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,639 Speaker 1: defensive line, you get young players that are getting better. 1381 01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:41,200 Speaker 1: So I am a fan of Miami. They just have 1382 01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:45,120 Speaker 1: to I get love Mario guy was Oregon A love 1383 01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,120 Speaker 1: the way he builds his team. They just can't have 1384 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:50,120 Speaker 1: that one loss that they shouldn't have. That's it. And 1385 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 1: I think they do be Notre Dame week one, and 1386 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch them. Think the're about I think 1387 01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:55,920 Speaker 1: they're about right. I think it's seven clumbs at the 1388 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:56,840 Speaker 1: top of the a sec. 1389 01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 2: So you go, I'm curious through their schedule. You think 1390 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:02,120 Speaker 2: they beat Notre Dame. 1391 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 1: Yes, Notre Dame, asked, is losing a lot from last 1392 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:07,920 Speaker 1: year and they're going to start a new quarterback, which 1393 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:13,599 Speaker 1: is I don't know, man, I don't rely. Yeah, yeah, 1394 01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 1: I think I liked the Irish in Week one. Yeah, now, 1395 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I was with Brady Queen all week, 1396 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,800 Speaker 1: so maybe that I got I got. They got rubbed 1397 01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:22,960 Speaker 1: off on me, But my boy, I had a lot 1398 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:23,759 Speaker 1: of fun with Brady. 1399 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:27,840 Speaker 2: I like Notre Dame. Here's Miami schedule, So you tell 1400 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,760 Speaker 2: me give me your give me their wreck. You don't 1401 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,600 Speaker 2: worry about Notre Dame starting a new quarterback on the 1402 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,840 Speaker 2: road in week one, obviously, Yeah, but I not. You 1403 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 2: like their defense better than I do now they've got 1404 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,720 Speaker 2: have improved by a lot. That defense was unplayable last year. 1405 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't always great. I'll give you that. It 1406 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:49,599 Speaker 1: was awful. Come on, brother, Yeah again, it wasn't. It 1407 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:54,040 Speaker 1: wasn't always great. But I think that they have again 1408 01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 1: to the point of making like a young players ready 1409 01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 1: to take the next seat. Yeah, I mean, listen, I 1410 01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 1: mean that could be. They better take a big step, 1411 01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:04,559 Speaker 1: is my only point. I think. I think Notre Dame 1412 01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 1: is stout on both fronts. I hear you on the 1413 01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 1: inexperience a quarterback, but I think they got both fronts locked, 1414 01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:16,200 Speaker 1: so they're gonna be a Miami. It's already hurt though, 1415 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,120 Speaker 1: right the left left tackle got hurt. Right tackle got hurt. 1416 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:24,640 Speaker 1: I believe through deep. Their old line is deep. I 1417 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:29,240 Speaker 1: mean we'll see. I see it, fellas go show Down 1418 01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,599 Speaker 1: Week one. I mean give me. I hope we get 1419 01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 1: a three. I don't know. I don't know if we'll 1420 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,080 Speaker 1: get a three, but I'll take a three if I 1421 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 1: can get one. It's two and a half.

But 1450 01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:19,920 Speaker 2: it is a preseason weekend. We sold two games last night. 1451 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:25,519 Speaker 2: I guess we saw a little unevenness from Cam and listen, 1452 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:27,599 Speaker 2: I hate this stuff. 1453 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,840 Speaker 1: So cad Ward was two for seven. He threw a pick. 1454 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,559 Speaker 1: He also had a long pass that was dropped, that 1455 01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:35,559 Speaker 1: was thrown on the money. 1456 01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 2: It was a great throw.

Just give him a minute. He's 1459 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,240 Speaker 2: in a tough spot with a team not a lot 1460 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:49,200 Speaker 2: of talent around them. 1461 01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 1: Just give it a minute. Like I've already been. I 1462 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,760 Speaker 1: don't know about Cam Woard, just relax. You gotta give 1463 01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 1: these kids a chance. We have players like Jan Daniels 1464 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,800 Speaker 1: that come in the league and are so good, so 1465 01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 1: fast that ruins the timeline for everyone else. Right, you know, 1466 01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 1: Cam Wore is a guy actually has not playing a 1467 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,280 Speaker 1: ton of quarterback. Right. You know he played in high 1468 01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,680 Speaker 1: school in offense that didn't that didn't didn't pass the ball. Right, 1469 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 1: it's gets the incarnate word. They play those sort of 1470 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,160 Speaker 1: back to back COVID seasons or he played like spring 1471 01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,880 Speaker 1: and fall that year, and then he goes to Washington State, 1472 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,440 Speaker 1: plays in you know, the run and shoot essentially for 1473 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,559 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and goes to Miami. Last 1474 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,720 Speaker 1: year was the first year he had played in a 1475 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 1: pro style offense. Like give give them, give him time, man, Like, 1476 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fine. Is he gonna be the best 1477 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:47,759 Speaker 1: quarterback ever? I don't think so. But we're so quick 1478 01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,240 Speaker 1: to put the pressure on the players to be good. Now, man, 1479 01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 1: it's it. It never was that that way. And the 1480 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 1: Titans team is not overly talented, so it's not a 1481 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 1: lot for him to work with there. I mean, look, look, listen, 1482 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 1: I love Jay Daniels. J Daniels special, right like, he's special. 1483 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:09,200 Speaker 2: He could sing, It makes every throw, he's mobile, he's 1484 01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,320 Speaker 2: got a great you know, come from an offense where 1485 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 2: it's pro ready as you can get in college. 1486 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,120 Speaker 1: But you know, Washington had a lot more to work with, absolutely, 1487 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:25,559 Speaker 1: you know. I mean sometimes people are just crazy. They 1488 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 1: they just want I mean, it's satisfaction. It's just it's 1489 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,760 Speaker 1: just not the way that it works in college sports. 1490 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,360 Speaker 1: And just just give him time. He'll be fine. He'll 1491 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:42,519 Speaker 1: be just fine, all right, Today, let me give you 1492 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:47,320 Speaker 1: this slate for today's preseason all the games, quadruple header, 1493 01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 1: by the way, on the NFL network. So here's what 1494 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 1: we got. 1495 01:22:51,240 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 2: We got Green Bay, Indianapolis, Brownson, Eagles, New England and Minnesota, Carolina, Texans, Dolphins, Lions. 1496 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 2: Those are all one o'clocks.

I know, I know Green 1510 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,839 Speaker 1: Bay cares zera about the season. They're they're just completely 1511 01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,680 Speaker 1: worthless preseason watch, honestly. All right, So you're out on 1512 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 1: that one, yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm faster, you're 1513 01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 1: again what Richardson brings to the table today. But yeah, 1514 01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,439 Speaker 1: not not you know again, the Packers just look at 1515 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: the results over the years. They just care so a 1516 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,040 Speaker 1: little about the preseason. It's it's it's harder ticket. 1517 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 2: Seriously, all right, Cleveland, Philadelphia, do you know if Gabriel's 1518 01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:29,679 Speaker 2: playing yet? 1519 01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 1: I mean it has to be Gabriela. It's not your door. 1520 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 1: Well they he is out right, he is out shot door. Yeah, 1521 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,640 Speaker 1: he's out. So I'm gonna watch Gabriel play. 1522 01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna see a lot of day of 1523 01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel because Joe got a ton of work in 1524 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,879 Speaker 2: the joint practices. So they're not gonna play Flacco. 1525 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:51,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I want to see. That's what I want 1526 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:56,360 Speaker 1: to see them. Okay, to get anything on the Eagles, Uh, 1527 01:24:56,439 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 1: the stars aren't playing right, well, Jalin's playing the rest. 1528 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:05,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna play like Lane and Saquon. Well, I don't 1529 01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:09,120 Speaker 1: think Saquon goes, but I think they're gonna. Eagles has 1530 01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 1: not been to play their starters right very much now. 1531 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,599 Speaker 1: They never play their stars, but they because of steam, 1532 01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,800 Speaker 1: they might want to give its steam is is uh 1533 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,679 Speaker 1: take it over for Beckton? Correct? Next to lane, so 1534 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,479 Speaker 1: they might want to give him some work. Okay, Statlin 1535 01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,519 Speaker 1: likes to he likes to play his unit, and it 1536 01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:29,200 Speaker 1: may only just be it may not be lame, but 1537 01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,760 Speaker 1: he might play, you know, three fifths of it just 1538 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 1: for continuity, Okay, I mean, it's just it's just so 1539 01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,200 Speaker 1: hard that those stars are not playing to really care 1540 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:41,360 Speaker 1: very much about the team. 1541 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,439 Speaker 2: Well, no, that's fine. So you've got Dylwin Gabriel in 1542 01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:51,000 Speaker 2: that game. All right, Patriots vikings McCarthy's playing or not. 1543 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 2: I probably should keep up with this, but it's hard 1544 01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,479 Speaker 2: to track who's playing who's not playing. But obviously, I 1545 01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:56,560 Speaker 2: mean mcarthy's playing on this. 1546 01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:00,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, well he needs to play, he needs reps. I agree, 1547 01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: So I would like to see McCarthy what he can 1548 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,040 Speaker 1: do in a week too, He said, last week's pretty 1549 01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:12,120 Speaker 1: interesting that against his own defense, Brian Ford's defense, in practice, 1550 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:17,040 Speaker 1: he feels very sped up, right, because they pressure so much, 1551 01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 1: they put so much that he has to play very 1552 01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,960 Speaker 1: fast in practice, and that he thought he played way 1553 01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 1: too fast in game one, that you know the way 1554 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,680 Speaker 1: they again, that they he has a practice that he 1555 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:33,000 Speaker 1: played too fast in game one, got through his reas too, 1556 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:34,680 Speaker 1: but it just kind of sped him up a little bit. 1557 01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:38,640 Speaker 1: So I want to see today has to slow down 1558 01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,000 Speaker 1: for him at all? Is he you know, is he 1559 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:42,920 Speaker 1: making better? Is it is? It? Is he because he 1560 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:44,840 Speaker 1: missed them throws that he should make. He h has 1561 01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,720 Speaker 1: some good throws too, But is it slowing down for 1562 01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:49,280 Speaker 1: him a little bit? That's what I want to see. 1563 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 2: How worried about you? How worried about him? Are you 1564 01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 2: one to ten? 1565 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:04,120 Speaker 1: I mean, well five, I don't, I don't. I don't 1566 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,240 Speaker 1: know what to be worried about yet. Hasn't played, uh, 1567 01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:09,760 Speaker 1: like a lot of talking to pre a lot of 1568 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:14,720 Speaker 1: talking camp. Uh that he's with Scotland, so there was 1569 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 1: a lot of time camp that he was swimming. It's 1570 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:22,320 Speaker 1: worth bringing up here that like when rookies don't play 1571 01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:25,479 Speaker 1: in year one but playing year two, we tend to 1572 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:27,599 Speaker 1: like that they sit Okay, like I think that's fair 1573 01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 1: to say, right, Like, we like when those guys sit 1574 01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:32,120 Speaker 1: for a year. It's great it's a rookie. But a 1575 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,320 Speaker 1: lot of times most of the time in those years, right, 1576 01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:40,360 Speaker 1: they're they're they're practicing while not playing. Right there on 1577 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:44,000 Speaker 1: the practice field. McCarthy didn't practice last season, so he 1578 01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,599 Speaker 1: feels almost a little even more behind the most second 1579 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,720 Speaker 1: year players. So that's what that's what sort of I'm 1580 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:53,800 Speaker 1: curious about, like to see like his progression early on 1581 01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,200 Speaker 1: and how quickly he's in the Vikings. Dude, you know 1582 01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,800 Speaker 1: that they're so talented. If he can, if he's good 1583 01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 1: or on and this team, the sky's a limit for 1584 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:07,160 Speaker 1: this team. But while because they're everything around him is 1585 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 1: good line, great receivers, really good back and not a 1586 01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:17,360 Speaker 1: great like really good tight end, a great coach. So 1587 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:20,040 Speaker 1: there's there's no chance that they they could be good 1588 01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:22,360 Speaker 1: this year. It really good, really really good. McCarthy can 1589 01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,200 Speaker 1: can be good. I think it's unrealistic to expect him 1590 01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,920 Speaker 1: to be great early on. Didn't do much in college. 1591 01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 1: He has all the tools, but you know they're gonna 1592 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:30,640 Speaker 1: ask a lot more of him than he had to 1593 01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:35,800 Speaker 1: do at Michigan. All right, how about Carolina and the Texans? 1594 01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 1: I trust he continued progression at Bryce Young. That's what 1595 01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 1: we will say. He played a little bit in in 1596 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,519 Speaker 1: week one. Again, I don't know if the problem with 1597 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:46,200 Speaker 1: these games this week is kind of interesting. We talked 1598 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 1: earlier like a Los star is playing in week one, 1599 01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,559 Speaker 1: and I don't think a lot of them are playing 1600 01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:56,400 Speaker 1: in week two because of the of the joint practices 1601 01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,479 Speaker 1: we saw a lot this week. I just I don't 1602 01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 1: think a lot of starters are playing in these games 1603 01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:04,840 Speaker 1: where we saw a lot of week one. I think 1604 01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:06,719 Speaker 1: we're having less than week two, which is kind of surprising. 1605 01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:10,280 Speaker 1: That's backwards, it's not what it used to be. You 1606 01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,880 Speaker 1: think you could be less today. I think I think 1607 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,639 Speaker 1: there's gonna be equal nout today. Well, like the chief 1608 01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:17,559 Speaker 1: Like the Chiefs didn't play their starters yesterday, which is 1609 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,760 Speaker 1: kind of surprising. I mean, that's what anybody always plays 1610 01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,519 Speaker 1: the starter, So that you missed the saidynymore, that's that's 1611 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:27,200 Speaker 1: out the window. He changed he used to always do that. 1612 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,640 Speaker 1: He played on in week one, though normally played in 1613 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:30,880 Speaker 1: week one, he plays in week two. That's so I 1614 01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:32,720 Speaker 1: was kind of surprised he didn't play them this week. Yeah, 1615 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 1: he played it for a series. Yeah, No, he played well. 1616 01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:39,599 Speaker 1: The ones selected ones played the series in the week one. 1617 01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:46,080 Speaker 1: Most of stars played more than one series. So Canal says, yeah, 1618 01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,400 Speaker 1: here's a story from two weeks ago. Panther starts to 1619 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,280 Speaker 1: play first two Preseson games. So I want to I 1620 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:55,280 Speaker 1: want to see. Uh, I want to see more Brice Young. Yeah, 1621 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're gonna be interesting. I don't know how. 1622 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 1: We were just talking about this on my show in 1623 01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:12,679 Speaker 1: Philly the South, So I don't know how the Saints 1624 01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:17,080 Speaker 1: don't finish last. They will, like, I don't know how 1625 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:20,400 Speaker 1: that's not And we were looking at the In fact, 1626 01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:24,240 Speaker 1: I had the brain on and we were talking about 1627 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:29,360 Speaker 1: the NFC South and it was pretty like to take 1628 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:37,599 Speaker 1: the Saints to finish last was pretty easy, like you know, yeah, 1629 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,599 Speaker 1: and I like, I think Carolina well, first of all, 1630 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:44,640 Speaker 1: Tampa obviously in Atlanta are way better and then it 1631 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,519 Speaker 1: comes down to Carolina. I think Carolina chanced to win 1632 01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:48,800 Speaker 1: the division, so do I. 1633 01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:51,040 Speaker 2: And I look at I look at the Saints. I 1634 01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:54,920 Speaker 2: just think there's no talent there. I'm a Kellen Moore fed. 1635 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 2: I think Kellen is gonna I think he's gonna be good. 1636 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,519 Speaker 2: But you know, they got a way to turn over 1637 01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:01,040 Speaker 2: that roster. 1638 01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the quarterbacks are very good. No, No, So 1639 01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:10,120 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I thinks have a chance to 1640 01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:11,960 Speaker 1: win the division. I really do. I think they've improved 1641 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 1: a lot. I let the coaching staff. I like the 1642 01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:18,600 Speaker 1: changes they've made on the roster. They really attack their weaknesses. 1643 01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:21,160 Speaker 1: I thought in the fregency in the draft, especially the 1644 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:24,519 Speaker 1: defensive line. I'm pretty high on them. I think they 1645 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,760 Speaker 1: have a chance to be if Bryce Young can take 1646 01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 1: the next continue to take those steps, man, they're got 1647 01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:32,559 Speaker 1: a chance to be really really good this year. All right, wow, 1648 01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:37,200 Speaker 1: look at that. You know you're down there, so listen, 1649 01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:39,280 Speaker 1: you know you got a good pulse of it. 1650 01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:44,360 Speaker 2: Uh, Dolphins and Lions today? Are you worried about the 1651 01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:45,479 Speaker 2: Dolphins because I am. 1652 01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:49,560 Speaker 1: Oh, I have a lot of money in there under buddy. Yeah. 1653 01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:53,679 Speaker 1: So I just you know, when you look at their schedule, 1654 01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't like starting with the premise that that you 1655 01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 1: can cross off all the games they play in cold 1656 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:03,320 Speaker 1: well there is a loss. Don't like it like, oh, 1657 01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:05,759 Speaker 1: oh well they play oh they're playing cold weather loss? 1658 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,040 Speaker 1: Like just no out out on a team like that, right, 1659 01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean, which immediately out on a team like that, 1660 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:16,280 Speaker 1: and then and then you know they're there. They had 1661 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,479 Speaker 1: no tight ends. Their offensive line is super shaky. You know, 1662 01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,880 Speaker 1: tua Is is so limited because there's just so terrified 1663 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna get hurt. So they really like limit the 1664 01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:29,760 Speaker 1: offense around him. It's not it's not great. H McDaniel 1665 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,040 Speaker 1: to me seems to sort of not be able to 1666 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,160 Speaker 1: adjust mid season. He sort of has a player start 1667 01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:38,880 Speaker 1: the year just never adjusts. And then we talked early 1668 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,719 Speaker 1: about joint practices. So joint practice are when these teams 1669 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 1: meet up and practice for a couple of days together. 1670 01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:47,599 Speaker 1: I don't know how much to take away from those, 1671 01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:52,639 Speaker 1: because you know, there's you're the practice gods a little different. 1672 01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:55,360 Speaker 1: You know, how it's a team. How who's trying harder, 1673 01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:58,160 Speaker 1: what's the goal of each practice? Who knows this stuff. 1674 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:02,360 Speaker 1: But the reports out of this of these joint practices 1675 01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:05,880 Speaker 1: are that the Dolphins got thoroughly dominated for two days 1676 01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:08,240 Speaker 1: in a row. You've been to these before, you know, 1677 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,599 Speaker 1: one day one team wins, one day, the next team wins, 1678 01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:14,880 Speaker 1: sort of like that. Yeah, they said the Dolphins got manhandled. Yeah, 1679 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,280 Speaker 1: and I worried about their line. You brought it up. 1680 01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,439 Speaker 1: I am worried about their line. So I am under 1681 01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:23,800 Speaker 1: seven and a half wins for them. As we're talking now, 1682 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 1: like writing down some wagers to like, I'm gonna put 1683 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:28,000 Speaker 1: some more. I'm gonna make you know, the I might 1684 01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:31,320 Speaker 1: take that that saints the fish last division wager. That 1685 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:32,519 Speaker 1: sounds a good way. 1686 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:35,559 Speaker 2: In fact, we talked about this. You here's what you 1687 01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:40,880 Speaker 2: may want to do. So there's there's the props were 1688 01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:47,880 Speaker 2: how many wins too? There's a Saints prop wins and 1689 01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:53,640 Speaker 2: exact wins are just exact wins. And I think we 1690 01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:58,360 Speaker 2: went over the schedule and it was you know, like 1691 01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:01,519 Speaker 2: I could see like one or two. I could even 1692 01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:07,160 Speaker 2: see zero. Like if you spread up zero one two, 1693 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,680 Speaker 2: you're getting like really big odds and you make it 1694 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:11,559 Speaker 2: come out ahead because yeah, you can bet. 1695 01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:13,800 Speaker 1: You can bet most most sports books allow you to 1696 01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:18,639 Speaker 1: bet a actual exact amount of wins. Why have Giants 1697 01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:21,719 Speaker 1: to have the worst record in the NFL at six 1698 01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:24,400 Speaker 1: to ones? I I already have that market, like played, 1699 01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 1: I could play. Really you got that? You think they're 1700 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,760 Speaker 1: worse than the Saints? No, I actually think it's to me, 1701 01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:35,599 Speaker 1: it's a schedule issue. The Giant schedule is really really brutal, 1702 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:40,280 Speaker 1: and there's a situation where implosion can happen pretty quickly. 1703 01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:50,280 Speaker 1: In my opinion, you start with you start right with Cowboys, commanders, chargers, chiefs, 1704 01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 1: or go go through. You have a part of you. No, 1705 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,760 Speaker 1: I haven't memorized, I've talked about this so many times. Okay, good, 1706 01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:58,800 Speaker 1: all right, well we'll tell me good and then start 1707 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 1: with it's and Cowboys Chargers Chiefs. Then they're at New Orderlands. Okay, okay, 1708 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:09,720 Speaker 1: shout and go one and four, one and four, and 1709 01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:14,880 Speaker 1: then it's it's then I know it's Eagles Broncos Eagles. Yeah, okay, 1710 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:19,040 Speaker 1: at Denver, by the way, at Denver, yeah, I did 1711 01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:21,800 Speaker 1: know that. And then and then I'll tell my head 1712 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:26,559 Speaker 1: it's like Niners, Bears, Lions. I think the next three ish, 1713 01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:31,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots are somewhere around there. Yeah, I mean, so 1714 01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:34,240 Speaker 1: if they start slow as I expect, Brian Dable's not 1715 01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:37,240 Speaker 1: long for that job, and Russell Wilfs is not long 1716 01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,880 Speaker 1: for that job. You have Jackson Dart like it just 1717 01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:42,439 Speaker 1: feels pretty bad quickly. It's pretty bad pretty quickly. Well, 1718 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:43,400 Speaker 1: but but here's the thing. 1719 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,680 Speaker 2: One thing with Dable, I think they just need to 1720 01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:52,439 Speaker 2: show Jackson Dart upswing towards the end of the season. 1721 01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:54,920 Speaker 1: Now here's the one thing they have gone for him. 1722 01:35:55,160 --> 01:36:00,240 Speaker 1: Their defense, Their front is really good. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Yeah, 1723 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,840 Speaker 1: if the kid could play a little bit, you get 1724 01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:06,280 Speaker 1: the kid to be able to play, you know, and 1725 01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:09,240 Speaker 1: you're in an up swing to finish the season, Like 1726 01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:12,639 Speaker 1: I could see that struggling going you know, one to seven, 1727 01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,479 Speaker 1: two and six like something like that, and then getting 1728 01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:19,559 Speaker 1: a couple wins on the back side on the back 1729 01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,880 Speaker 1: nine type of thing. I don't know. 1730 01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:25,040 Speaker 2: You know, they're scheduled by heart, but the back nine 1731 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:26,479 Speaker 2: is easier, I think. 1732 01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:30,240 Speaker 1: But I'm i basically wagering on an implosion early in 1733 01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,240 Speaker 1: the season that just takes them out of even just 1734 01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:34,280 Speaker 1: really competing in the back half of the season type 1735 01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,240 Speaker 1: of situation we'll see. Yeah, yeah. 1736 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:39,679 Speaker 2: The only thing with the only thing is I don't 1737 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:44,400 Speaker 2: don't you think if you're coaching, you know, you can't win, 1738 01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 2: Like you're not gonna win a division. 1739 01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 1: You know, you're the fourth team. 1740 01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:52,160 Speaker 2: I mean, the whole point of this season is to 1741 01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 2: develop dark right. 1742 01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:58,360 Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah, So when you think that they would 1743 01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:01,600 Speaker 1: have an employe knowing that they're going to groom the 1744 01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:04,800 Speaker 1: kid to eventually play this year, like we've seen that 1745 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,439 Speaker 1: with teams that have particularly teams that are decent up 1746 01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 1: front that had like a little bit of a listen, 1747 01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:14,320 Speaker 1: I hope you win your your bet. I'm just talk No, 1748 01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:15,960 Speaker 1: this is a long shot. I have under five and 1749 01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:17,720 Speaker 1: a half wins. I also took him at six to 1750 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:19,360 Speaker 1: one to it's a long shot. I mean, so it's 1751 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 1: what it is. Well, but yeah, I think I could 1752 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 1: see them having a little bit of an upswing towards 1753 01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:29,320 Speaker 1: the end of the year and then Dable keeping his job. 1754 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,559 Speaker 1: I like Dable. I'm sorry, I like Dabele. 1755 01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:35,680 Speaker 2: I think Dabele's a good coach, and I like the 1756 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,200 Speaker 2: fact that he's got a coot. I think Dark can 1757 01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:41,000 Speaker 2: play in the league, and I'm curious to see what 1758 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:41,679 Speaker 2: he does with them. 1759 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't I don't dislike him. I 1760 01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:49,680 Speaker 1: just I just don't know how good team is gonna be. Yeah, yeah, 1761 01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,519 Speaker 1: all right, let's say quick te out, come right back, 1762 01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,519 Speaker 1: get back to the top ten.

Uh, 1796 01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:02,200 Speaker 1: it's always always a lot of fun to watch. I'm 1797 01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,120 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing kind of who again. Like there's 1798 01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,960 Speaker 1: a lot of of open races right now, right, I 1799 01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:10,120 Speaker 1: mean the amount of fluctuation we've seen where you know, 1800 01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:12,439 Speaker 1: the team was leading the division in June to where 1801 01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:14,320 Speaker 1: it is now, it's kind of nuts. I mean there's 1802 01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:16,840 Speaker 1: been a ton of changing these standings. 1803 01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:23,240 Speaker 2: Oh dude, yes, it's crazy. Yeah, I mean it really 1804 01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:27,840 Speaker 2: is nuts. So the Yankees are struggling mightily. I mean 1805 01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:31,320 Speaker 2: maybe they eat gotta win, but they were they were, 1806 01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,320 Speaker 2: I mean it looked like there was They're gonna blow 1807 01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:36,400 Speaker 2: the doors off, and they struggled. 1808 01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,120 Speaker 1: To just held on the wind. 1809 01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:41,960 Speaker 2: The Jays are up five on Boston and the Yankees. 1810 01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:46,439 Speaker 1: Yep, Tiger's running away. We run away with the Central 1811 01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:53,000 Speaker 1: Houston now only up by half game on Seattle. That's 1812 01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,559 Speaker 1: fun divisions, right, that's a great one. 1813 01:40:56,280 --> 01:41:00,280 Speaker 2: Phillies are up six on the Mets, the Mets had 1814 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:06,560 Speaker 2: led that division inside ten days ago before they're maybe collapse. 1815 01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,440 Speaker 1: So they're up on the Brewers. 1816 01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:15,600 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable they've done winning thirteen in a row. They 1817 01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:19,800 Speaker 2: had now have a nine game lean on the Cups. 1818 01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:22,480 Speaker 2: That's incredible. 1819 01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:28,200 Speaker 1: The Reds are five games over over five hundred and 1820 01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:35,240 Speaker 1: are back fourteen games. Yeah, and then Dodgers POD's going 1821 01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:39,000 Speaker 1: at it in LA and they are tied this morning 1822 01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:42,640 Speaker 1: for first place in the West with sixty nine to 1823 01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 1: fifty three records. Pretty good. So it's a good baseball sase. 1824 01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:49,720 Speaker 1: I hope people are paying attention, you know, I know 1825 01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,240 Speaker 1: it could be long and well, I think the baseball's 1826 01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,760 Speaker 1: done a really good job of changing the game for 1827 01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:56,920 Speaker 1: the better. Like the pitch clock has been just like 1828 01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,479 Speaker 1: the greatest thing ever. I mean, it's such an it's 1829 01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:02,000 Speaker 1: it's I mean, we go there's a Triple A team 1830 01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:03,800 Speaker 1: here in Charlotte, take the kids to man. I mean, 1831 01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,040 Speaker 1: the pitch clock has helped. So I mean we look 1832 01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:08,560 Speaker 1: up and be two and a half hours and you 1833 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,160 Speaker 1: being the fourth inning still you know, now you're seven 1834 01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,400 Speaker 1: innings in. Like, it has been so good for the 1835 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:18,600 Speaker 1: game to do that. Yeah, yeah, did you see the 1836 01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,759 Speaker 1: NBA s guys will come out. I don't care whatever, 1837 01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:27,200 Speaker 1: You're not a hoop guy. I'm a hoop guy in 1838 01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,679 Speaker 1: when the playoffs start. But I I'm I'm not gonna 1839 01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:36,880 Speaker 1: watch with NBA until until we get to after Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, 1840 01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:38,760 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I think that's I mean, I 1841 01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:41,160 Speaker 1: watch it. I just think I think that the trouble 1842 01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,200 Speaker 1: have with the NBA is that you will watch like 1843 01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:47,240 Speaker 1: the last week of the regular season and the playoffs 1844 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,760 Speaker 1: will start, and the speed of the sport picks up 1845 01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,040 Speaker 1: so much it doesn't look at the same sport. To me, 1846 01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:56,200 Speaker 1: it's like, wow, it's way better now. Playoff basketball is ridiculous. Yea, Like, 1847 01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:58,360 Speaker 1: if you don't care enough to play that that speed 1848 01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:00,880 Speaker 1: in the regular season, why do I care enough to watch? 1849 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:01,360 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 1850 01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:02,000 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1851 01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean, and like, look, I the load management thing 1852 01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:11,840 Speaker 1: kind of frustrates me sometimes because you know, I'm a 1853 01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:14,000 Speaker 1: Lakers fan and I and I want to watch the 1854 01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:16,479 Speaker 1: Lakers when they come to to Charlotte. I've been burned 1855 01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:18,679 Speaker 1: a couple of times with like backups playing and it's 1856 01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:21,680 Speaker 1: just like frustrating where you spend good money for good 1857 01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,880 Speaker 1: seats and all of a sudden, the Stars sitting out. Now, 1858 01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:27,040 Speaker 1: Lebron was better last year about this, so I'm not 1859 01:43:27,160 --> 01:43:29,600 Speaker 1: as upset about it. But I just, you know, like 1860 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:32,400 Speaker 1: when you know, guys, now, I just it's hard to 1861 01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:37,360 Speaker 1: watch season play basketball fabulous. We're you know, regizing basketball. 1862 01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:40,800 Speaker 1: Kind of tough to watch sometimes. Yeah, yeah, is your 1863 01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:44,600 Speaker 1: boy of be going to play this year? Like he's 1864 01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:46,719 Speaker 1: not going to be ready for training camp, that's for sure. 1865 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:53,200 Speaker 1: I doubt we see him until December, probably around the 1866 01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:56,760 Speaker 1: NBA Cup in Philly. Like like last year. It could 1867 01:43:56,800 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 1: be bad, Yes, it could be very bad. Now the 1868 01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:02,880 Speaker 1: end of days are near. 1869 01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:10,200 Speaker 2: That that team, that iteration of that run that never materialized, 1870 01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:10,800 Speaker 2: never happened. 1871 01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's they. 1872 01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:17,360 Speaker 2: Are a great source of frustration. They haven't won since 1873 01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:21,439 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty three, was the last time they won a title. 1874 01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:25,599 Speaker 1: You Eagles, though, you got Phillies. No, I mean, yeah, 1875 01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about that team. The Flyers win championships. 1876 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,599 Speaker 1: I don't know, my Flyers have it once since nineteen 1877 01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:37,280 Speaker 1: seventy five. Wow, that's Original sixteen right now. But they 1878 01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 1: were you know, they came in sixty seven, but they're 1879 01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:41,280 Speaker 1: right after it. 1880 01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:44,760 Speaker 2: They're gonna be better though, they're they're gonna be good. 1881 01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:51,639 Speaker 2: But again, to your point, football is really the matters 1882 01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:56,240 Speaker 2: that baseball might town but you know it's it's football. 1883 01:44:56,320 --> 01:45:01,360 Speaker 2: It's funny because we're talking about the NBA and you know, 1884 01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:05,639 Speaker 2: forever I was looking at the Christmas date schedule, I'm like, oh, 1885 01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:09,960 Speaker 2: look this, and it doned on me. You know, there's 1886 01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:15,280 Speaker 2: three football games, so it doesn't matter, right, Like, it's 1887 01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:20,080 Speaker 2: funny how the NFL came in on Christmas Day when uh, 1888 01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:25,280 Speaker 2: that's ours and they just completely stole it from the NBA. 1889 01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:29,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing that we can do about it. 1890 01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:35,240 Speaker 2: No, no, I mean they just got clobbered last year. 1891 01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:36,600 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. 1892 01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:43,400 Speaker 1: It's our day now, yeah, are day?

Brian Kelly, 1946 01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:19,200 Speaker 1: it's it's a kind of a make up break here. 1947 01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:21,439 Speaker 1: I think with with nes Meyer, people super high on 1948 01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:28,559 Speaker 1: him as well, so you know, should be interesting, all right, Alabama. 1949 01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:33,680 Speaker 1: I hear good things about Alabama. I hear people I 1950 01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:37,439 Speaker 1: think Ty Simpson is gonna be good. I think Bama's 1951 01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:41,120 Speaker 1: gonna have a good year, all right. So I wrote 1952 01:48:41,120 --> 01:48:43,200 Speaker 1: this article for Fox Sports. You go find I did 1953 01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:48,040 Speaker 1: some some win total stuff on Bama. So Caitlin Debor 1954 01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:50,519 Speaker 1: before got that job last year, I think I think 1955 01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:53,679 Speaker 1: I wrote it down like one oh four and like eleven. 1956 01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:57,720 Speaker 1: As a head coach, n ai A Sue Falls. He 1957 01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:02,200 Speaker 1: won three championships and they lost I believe, like three 1958 01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:04,000 Speaker 1: games this whole time. They lost one game over the 1959 01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:06,439 Speaker 1: last four years he was there. The championship game they 1960 01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,400 Speaker 1: won three or four years gets to Friendsno during COVID 1961 01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:11,280 Speaker 1: three and three. But then he goes nine and three, 1962 01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:15,000 Speaker 1: goes to Washington, takes in the playoff year two, championship 1963 01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:18,280 Speaker 1: game Year two goes to Bama with nine and three. 1964 01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:21,519 Speaker 1: Last year kind of a year of upheaval, right. Nick 1965 01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:25,559 Speaker 1: Saban leaves legend leaves right and you're rebuilding the program 1966 01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:29,080 Speaker 1: in your own vision. And a big addition this offseason 1967 01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,639 Speaker 1: once he brought Ryan Grubbrack, his offensive coordinator who he's 1968 01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:35,040 Speaker 1: been with nearly his entire career Florida State Washington as 1969 01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:38,479 Speaker 1: Sue falls as well, it's a big, a big factor 1970 01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:41,479 Speaker 1: brought grub back. The team is is the second most 1971 01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:44,280 Speaker 1: talented team, maybe the most in the SEC. Like it's 1972 01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:46,760 Speaker 1: Texas one and Bama two. They have more talent in 1973 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:50,439 Speaker 1: Georgia and LSU like that they do. I agree, And 1974 01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:53,559 Speaker 1: so the schedule has some some some way in minds 1975 01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:57,200 Speaker 1: as an SEC schedule does. But I'm I'm super high 1976 01:49:57,720 --> 01:49:58,920 Speaker 1: on Alabama this season. 1977 01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:03,519 Speaker 2: And let's face it, I mean, mill Roe could be 1978 01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:05,000 Speaker 2: great at times. 1979 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:10,280 Speaker 1: I like, I like Simpson and is a pocket guy. 1980 01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:12,920 Speaker 1: He reminds me more of what the offense is probably 1981 01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:17,880 Speaker 1: gonna look like under under Michael Pennox at Washington. It's 1982 01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:21,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a more controlled passing game from the pocket 1983 01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:24,680 Speaker 1: less variance because of a mill Roe was just so 1984 01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:28,400 Speaker 1: high and so low sometimes. So I'm I think Bama 1985 01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:31,439 Speaker 1: if I like the boor as a coach, he's really 1986 01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:36,760 Speaker 1: good and I think they're gonna be really good this season. Yep, yep. 1987 01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:40,040 Speaker 1: I like him a ton a ton. 1988 01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:44,639 Speaker 2: I'll give it a yodar man Eddie Webster to tell 1989 01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:50,519 Speaker 2: Jeff hello, he said, uh, he looks at the carry. 1990 01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:54,840 Speaker 2: He goes, what about the Carolina D like the Carolina D. 1991 01:50:55,520 --> 01:51:00,559 Speaker 1: Or the or the Bill Belichicks. I think they did. 1992 01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:03,679 Speaker 1: So that was a problem they had right last season. 1993 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:06,360 Speaker 1: They went out and fixed it in fregency in my opinion, 1994 01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:09,120 Speaker 1: plus get Derek brown Back. I think their defense is 1995 01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:11,680 Speaker 1: a lot. But the thing about the Panthers like they 1996 01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:13,960 Speaker 1: know what their weaknesses are and they went about trying 1997 01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:15,200 Speaker 1: to fix them. Now, of course it all has to 1998 01:51:15,200 --> 01:51:18,680 Speaker 1: come together. They have a great defensive coordinator. I think 1999 01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:23,479 Speaker 1: they're going to be fine defensively. All right, let's take 2000 01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:29,480 Speaker 1: a quick too, come back finish our top five. Curiousy 2001 01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:33,240 Speaker 1: where you're tied with the Jeff Schwartz top five would be. 2002 01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:36,559 Speaker 1: So we'll find that out as we hang out on 2003 01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:45,839 Speaker 1: a Fox Football Saturday.

We have Alabama Oregon seven. Where you at 2017 01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:30,880 Speaker 2: with Oregon. 2018 01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:34,920 Speaker 1: Ducks? Yeah about right? We got some we got some 2019 01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:39,200 Speaker 1: question marks. I think they're a little high. Why do 2020 01:52:39,200 --> 01:52:44,360 Speaker 1: you think that high? I can't wait for Happy Valley. 2021 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,920 Speaker 2: That's another one of our dinner bets, you and I. 2022 01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:50,479 Speaker 1: I mean, Oregon's probably gonna lose that game. I don't 2023 01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:52,400 Speaker 1: think's gonna win that game. We could be eleven and 2024 01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:54,160 Speaker 1: one and lose the Penn State. I don't what's the 2025 01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:57,880 Speaker 1: that's unluckily with breaking your stones, that's all we're likely 2026 01:52:57,960 --> 01:52:59,360 Speaker 1: to win that game. I don't think we're gonna win 2027 01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:03,120 Speaker 1: that game. Otherwise we should winever. I'll give you I'll 2028 01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:05,200 Speaker 1: give you the line. Whatever the line is, it's probably 2029 01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,720 Speaker 1: four four and a half. There's my guess. It's it's 2030 01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:10,920 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game. It's our first true road game. 2031 01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:13,160 Speaker 1: We don't I don't count Northwestern as a road game. 2032 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,479 Speaker 1: With a lot of new pieces, it's probably it's probably 2033 01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:18,160 Speaker 1: gona be tough. I don't have any But I don't 2034 01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:22,040 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be easy game for US and Penn 2035 01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,559 Speaker 1: State defensively. Now, the thing is, I just think we 2036 01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:27,760 Speaker 1: can match Penn State defensively in that game, right, I mean, 2037 01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't know if Penn State has 2038 01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:30,840 Speaker 1: the wide receivers. I know they brought a bunch of 2039 01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:34,759 Speaker 1: portal guys, but yet again, I don't know. I don't 2040 01:53:34,760 --> 01:53:38,120 Speaker 1: pay I believe it when I see Syracuse, come on, 2041 01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:41,880 Speaker 1: I believe we have we have fifteen years of James Frank. 2042 01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:45,879 Speaker 1: I believe it when I see it. Two stunt backs 2043 01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:49,120 Speaker 1: coming back for the Knicks. They might not even have 2044 01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:50,840 Speaker 1: to throw it. The way They're going to be able 2045 01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:53,120 Speaker 1: to run the until it matters and they can't throw 2046 01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:57,760 Speaker 1: the ball. The problem is terrific. I love not that's 2047 01:53:57,800 --> 01:53:58,360 Speaker 1: the problem. 2048 01:53:58,640 --> 01:54:03,240 Speaker 2: He is outside receivers they got three kids they could play. 2049 01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:09,360 Speaker 1: Look the thing about college football, it's we have often 2050 01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:13,920 Speaker 1: at times lots of years of data on these quarterbacks 2051 01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:18,360 Speaker 1: and these quarterbacks and these offenses, right, and a lot 2052 01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:20,519 Speaker 1: of time, you know, have lots of years because of 2053 01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:22,640 Speaker 1: the nature of it. It's all like the NFL. But 2054 01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:24,600 Speaker 1: James Franklin's been there fifteen years. We have enough of 2055 01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:28,240 Speaker 1: James Franklin. He's got a new OC, we have second 2056 01:54:28,320 --> 01:54:31,960 Speaker 1: year of C and he's holding up the offense. Okay, 2057 01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:35,160 Speaker 1: you say these things like this, Well it's true. If 2058 01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:38,200 Speaker 1: it's not true, but doesn't happen. That's my point. It 2059 01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:42,040 Speaker 1: doesn't often happen when coaches say things like we're gonna 2060 01:54:42,080 --> 01:54:45,160 Speaker 1: open up the offense. It doesn't happen very well. When 2061 01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:49,400 Speaker 1: you have a new offensive coordinator. It's the second that's new, Well, 2062 01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:53,760 Speaker 1: second year off OC it means it's it's definitely a change. 2063 01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:58,520 Speaker 2: They wanted to play more wide open last year. Obviously 2064 01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:02,200 Speaker 2: they didn't have the receivers to do it, and they 2065 01:55:02,200 --> 01:55:03,720 Speaker 2: still won a lot of games. 2066 01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:07,200 Speaker 1: They're well, yeah, but they're gonna win. Penn State, to 2067 01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:14,960 Speaker 1: me is the most predictable team ever. They win every 2068 01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:17,680 Speaker 1: game they should and they lose every game they should 2069 01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:20,920 Speaker 1: and this year is that going to change when it 2070 01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:24,000 Speaker 1: comes to the postseason, because that's all that matters. Well, 2071 01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:25,840 Speaker 1: change when they go to Ohio State. Like they're gonna 2072 01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:27,760 Speaker 1: be favorite against Organ. They should beat Organ. They're gonna 2073 01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:31,120 Speaker 1: be a favorite. Yeah, it'll be a white happy valley. 2074 01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:33,960 Speaker 1: And are they gonna win the game at Ohio State? 2075 01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:35,880 Speaker 1: Are they win the you know they're gonna win the 2076 01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:38,600 Speaker 1: playoff game? They're a slight underdog in they win all 2077 01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:41,160 Speaker 1: the games. Just with James Franklin. When he's a favorite 2078 01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:43,120 Speaker 1: of like seven between seven and twenty four points, it's 2079 01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:46,680 Speaker 1: like nineteen and one against the spread. They smash every 2080 01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:49,440 Speaker 1: team they should. I'm Julie Me. I know all about Franklin, 2081 01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:56,120 Speaker 1: all right, James Franklin, Penn State Country. James Franklin, he knows, 2082 01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:58,960 Speaker 1: he knows the spread. He has to because he's the best. 2083 01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:02,400 Speaker 1: Like that late touchdown like fair by thirty four, you 2084 01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:05,520 Speaker 1: know it's it's it's it's thirty five to seven, and 2085 01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:07,800 Speaker 1: he just like manages to score with with a minute 2086 01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:12,960 Speaker 1: left forty two seven. His boosters are happy. They cover 2087 01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:16,760 Speaker 1: the spread every game, but Yo to Ohio State can't 2088 01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:19,080 Speaker 1: beat Ohio State. Well, let's see, let's see what happens. 2089 01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:22,040 Speaker 2: This is a year. You're right, there's a year. This 2090 01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:24,440 Speaker 2: is a year of no excuses. I don't disagree with 2091 01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:28,240 Speaker 2: that not working. I think they're ranked where they should be. 2092 01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:34,200 Speaker 1: All right, Irish, you think the Iris should too high. 2093 01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:38,760 Speaker 2: Judging from our conversation against with Miami, because we got 2094 01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:41,400 Speaker 2: you got the Canes and I got the Irish in 2095 01:56:41,400 --> 01:56:42,000 Speaker 2: that one. 2096 01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:49,120 Speaker 1: I think they're probably a tad a tad high, but not. 2097 01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:54,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't really bother me. Georgia the right this should be. 2098 01:56:54,240 --> 01:57:00,800 Speaker 1: And you love Clemston apparently, yeah, all I'm sitting out. 2099 01:57:01,240 --> 01:57:05,200 Speaker 1: Do you not like Clemson? I do? They got they 2100 01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:07,960 Speaker 1: got a butter height they have. They're just like they 2101 01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:11,680 Speaker 1: would turn the number of attorney production in college trouble 2102 01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:15,120 Speaker 1: to offense. Their offensive line for years has not been great. 2103 01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,400 Speaker 1: It's much better now we know what they can do defensively. 2104 01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:21,320 Speaker 1: I like Clemson. I think the quarterback. I think Club 2105 01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:25,320 Speaker 1: Nick is a really good college quarterback. Right, but that's 2106 01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:26,360 Speaker 1: all you need though in college. 2107 01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:30,280 Speaker 2: No, No, I'm saying that as a compliment, Like, yeah, 2108 01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:33,560 Speaker 2: I think I get why you like them. 2109 01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:35,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for sure, I think they're right 2110 01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:39,040 Speaker 1: way they should be. I think Ohio State's a little high, correct, 2111 01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:41,920 Speaker 1: But they won the championship, So what do you Yeah, 2112 01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm not there's probably but if we're talking about the 2113 01:57:45,680 --> 01:57:48,520 Speaker 1: probably the two best players in the country on their team, yeah, 2114 01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:51,960 Speaker 1: I think text number. I think Texas beats in Week 2115 01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:56,760 Speaker 1: one in the shoe. I mean, I think Texas legit, 2116 01:57:57,360 --> 01:58:02,440 Speaker 1: a legit one. I I it's not honestly a wager 2117 01:58:02,480 --> 01:58:05,560 Speaker 1: on Texas as much as that, I don't think we're 2118 01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:08,240 Speaker 1: acknowledging how much Ohio State is losing. 2119 01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:12,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, A couple that with the fact that I 2120 01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:17,800 Speaker 2: think Texas is legit. Yes, So I can't believe that. 2121 01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:20,400 Speaker 2: What's awesome about the playoff is that we get that 2122 01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:25,160 Speaker 2: game week one. We would never get that game week one, correct, 2123 01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:25,920 Speaker 2: you know? 2124 01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:29,720 Speaker 1: All right, big al, We're coming out.

He meant that. 2150 02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:09,800 Speaker 2: He meant more because we were talking about the Christmas 2151 02:00:09,880 --> 02:00:13,880 Speaker 2: Day games and how what happened between the NFL and 2152 02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:19,120 Speaker 2: the NBA and how the NFL won. And he's like, 2153 02:00:19,480 --> 02:00:26,760 Speaker 2: those NFL games sucked on Christmas Day. They weren't good. 2154 02:00:27,160 --> 02:00:29,720 Speaker 1: Did There wasn't that Ravens. Was that Ravens, She know 2155 02:00:29,760 --> 02:00:32,640 Speaker 1: that was Ravens. Steelers. Yeah, they were.

But I mean honestly, like I'm not apologizing 2158 02:00:44,080 --> 02:00:46,480 Speaker 2: for it because I love the NBA and I love 2159 02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:49,040 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. I love well, I love hockey, I 2160 02:00:49,080 --> 02:00:54,040 Speaker 2: love all sports. But there's something when when the season 2161 02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:56,160 Speaker 2: is about to start, and this is how I am. 2162 02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:59,000 Speaker 2: I don't know how you are, but I get like 2163 02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:00,560 Speaker 2: crazy geeked up. 2164 02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Look even in the in March, when MLB smart about 2165 02:01:06,160 --> 02:01:07,960 Speaker 1: to start, I get excited. 2166 02:01:07,960 --> 02:01:11,760 Speaker 2: I went to the first week of MLB. I'll watch, 2167 02:01:12,080 --> 02:01:14,560 Speaker 2: you know, I'll be like oh. 2168 02:01:14,560 --> 02:01:19,040 Speaker 1: D on every game because I've missed it. Yeah, and football, 2169 02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:21,880 Speaker 1: like I missed the sports when they go away, I 2170 02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:26,080 Speaker 1: missed them. So right now, you know, I can't him 2171 02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:30,520 Speaker 1: up like I know, comes Saturday, I'll watch we got 2172 02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:34,240 Speaker 1: the game from Dublin a week from today, week zero, 2173 02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:38,360 Speaker 1: and then we kick off that whole week of college football, 2174 02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:41,560 Speaker 1: which is going to be an awesome week. I'll watch 2175 02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:46,200 Speaker 1: as many games I can squeeze in, beginning with the 2176 02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:52,760 Speaker 1: Dublin game on Saturday, Nebraska Cincinnati from Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, 2177 02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:55,560 Speaker 1: and then I'll go through it. 2178 02:01:56,200 --> 02:01:59,320 Speaker 2: Well, you know we got monster games. I mean Texas, 2179 02:01:59,360 --> 02:02:04,080 Speaker 2: Ohio State gonna be incredible. Yeah, I'm gonna watch every 2180 02:02:04,120 --> 02:02:08,880 Speaker 2: second of it. Yes, yes, I'm watching all of it. 2181 02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:12,000 Speaker 2: I it's what, it's my life. I love football, I 2182 02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:14,240 Speaker 2: want I'm a fan before I was a player. 2183 02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:20,240 Speaker 1: There's an excitement for football because you know, the the sport. 2184 02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:24,880 Speaker 1: There's urgency because you play obviously, you know, once a week. 2185 02:02:25,280 --> 02:02:28,160 Speaker 1: But there's also like a I think that that there's 2186 02:02:28,200 --> 02:02:31,560 Speaker 1: just hope in this sport that you just don't get 2187 02:02:31,680 --> 02:02:36,880 Speaker 1: other sports where NBA Baseball, I think there's a lot 2188 02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:40,120 Speaker 1: of fan bases just aren't very hopeful for success. Where 2189 02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:42,360 Speaker 1: in football, there's so many ways to convince yourself for 2190 02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:44,280 Speaker 1: team's going to be good every year, even though it's not. 2191 02:02:46,040 --> 02:02:47,600 Speaker 1: To me. That's a huge part of the difference in 2192 02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:51,040 Speaker 1: the sports. And so that's why football is one of 2193 02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:52,720 Speaker 1: the reason why it's so beloved, is you can just 2194 02:02:52,760 --> 02:02:55,640 Speaker 1: you can convince yourself a lot of things and and 2195 02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:58,080 Speaker 1: that you just can't do that other sports quite the 2196 02:02:58,080 --> 02:02:59,600 Speaker 1: same way. Yeah. 2197 02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:05,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, And there is this because the advantage is is 2198 02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:10,760 Speaker 2: that the games are an event. Absolutely that and the 2199 02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:14,560 Speaker 2: reason why Superstar Dad like when you look at because 2200 02:03:15,320 --> 02:03:19,280 Speaker 2: there's only seventeen NFL games and look, we don't have 2201 02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:21,960 Speaker 2: to show for the other. The NFL doesn't need Jeff 2202 02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:24,720 Speaker 2: and I to show for it, right like it is 2203 02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:27,720 Speaker 2: what it is. It's it's that when you look at 2204 02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:29,320 Speaker 2: these games. 2205 02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:32,880 Speaker 1: That we're talking about in college, and the NFL is 2206 02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:36,240 Speaker 1: going to kick off through events. And one of the 2207 02:03:36,280 --> 02:03:41,280 Speaker 1: reasons why I love it is I like to consume it. 2208 02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it, but I love 2209 02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:45,960 Speaker 1: to do a family friends like it could be a 2210 02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:48,200 Speaker 1: big game or or any game. 2211 02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:51,760 Speaker 2: And then there's the solitude. I'll watch by myself like 2212 02:03:53,320 --> 02:03:56,280 Speaker 2: it feels just big. It's just I don't know. I 2213 02:03:56,320 --> 02:04:00,240 Speaker 2: look forward I honestly like look forward to it. Not 2214 02:04:00,360 --> 02:04:03,480 Speaker 2: just like the team, your favorite team, but it could 2215 02:04:03,480 --> 02:04:06,240 Speaker 2: be a Thursday night and I got a buddy of 2216 02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:08,880 Speaker 2: mine that we grew up together, one of my best friends, 2217 02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:11,920 Speaker 2: and he doesn't live too far from me, and it'll 2218 02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:12,720 Speaker 2: be a Thursday night. 2219 02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:16,160 Speaker 1: I go, dude game and all week long, you know, 2220 02:04:16,200 --> 02:04:19,000 Speaker 1: you're working, do your thing, and he's like, yeah, come over. 2221 02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:22,400 Speaker 2: So I'll go over his house and I'll get there, 2222 02:04:22,720 --> 02:04:26,880 Speaker 2: you know, eight quarter after eight.

Essentially, he's a huge 2234 02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:10,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fan, like like stand he stands to the 2235 02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:13,840 Speaker 1: TV and watches for three hours type of fan. Yeah, 2236 02:05:13,880 --> 02:05:17,160 Speaker 1: and so I'm a Chiefs fan of not as diehards 2237 02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:19,560 Speaker 1: as that. So we have a lot of fun like 2238 02:05:19,640 --> 02:05:23,000 Speaker 1: watching football together, you know. Just you know, I put 2239 02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,280 Speaker 1: the Bills on for him and a dude, I can 2240 02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,720 Speaker 1: only imagine he's Chiefs Bills games. Oh yeah, well we went. 2241 02:05:28,920 --> 02:05:31,040 Speaker 1: So we went to the divisional game in Buffalo two 2242 02:05:31,120 --> 02:05:35,080 Speaker 1: years ago, the one the Chiefs won with the field 2243 02:05:35,080 --> 02:05:37,560 Speaker 1: goal at the end, and then the obviously the their 2244 02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:39,600 Speaker 1: kicker missed a field goal at the end too, and 2245 02:05:39,680 --> 02:05:42,920 Speaker 1: that was that was Yeah. Being a Buffalo for that 2246 02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:48,880 Speaker 1: was wild. Yeah, they're they're that place is awesome. I really, 2247 02:05:49,400 --> 02:05:51,600 Speaker 1: I really think these new stadiums are going to take 2248 02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:58,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the hopeful advantage away. You know, Heimark 2249 02:05:58,280 --> 02:06:01,880 Speaker 1: Stadium was built in the early seven andes, and when 2250 02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:04,000 Speaker 1: you are there, you are there to watch ball. That's 2251 02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,280 Speaker 1: all you're there for. These new stadiums, with these with 2252 02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:08,960 Speaker 1: these amenities, man, I think they're going to make home 2253 02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:13,080 Speaker 1: food advantages disappear quickly. Which I get it. If you're Buffalo, 2254 02:06:13,320 --> 02:06:16,880 Speaker 1: you want to you know, you want there to be 2255 02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:19,360 Speaker 1: amendies for your fans. I get that. But I love 2256 02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:21,680 Speaker 1: the vibe without old stadium. Man, it was so much fun. 2257 02:06:22,800 --> 02:06:25,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do do. Now they said that it's 2258 02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:27,720 Speaker 2: not going to be it's still going to be outdoors. 2259 02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:33,000 Speaker 2: I guess she's going to be more underground or any ground. 2260 02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:38,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so this way it'll diminish the wind. But 2261 02:06:38,080 --> 02:06:40,680 Speaker 1: if you but if you're like Buffalo, like home field 2262 02:06:40,680 --> 02:06:42,880 Speaker 1: advantage start the playoffs. One of the benefits of it 2263 02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:46,680 Speaker 1: is you get to play at home in my career. Dude, 2264 02:06:46,680 --> 02:06:50,160 Speaker 1: you're talking about building a dome in Philadelphia. That's insane. 2265 02:06:50,760 --> 02:06:52,400 Speaker 1: I think they're going to have it, and I think 2266 02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:55,280 Speaker 1: they're going to do it. I hear that that they're leaning. 2267 02:06:54,960 --> 02:07:00,680 Speaker 2: Toward building a dome and crazy hate We saw Eagles 2268 02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:03,160 Speaker 2: last year in the snowstorm. 2269 02:07:03,360 --> 02:07:07,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, how great is that they can build dome 2270 02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:09,840 Speaker 1: in the Navy Yard and it's at another stadium there 2271 02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:14,080 Speaker 1: essentially no place of where the link is. Yeah. Yeah, 2272 02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:17,480 Speaker 1: they'll reconfigure the whole thing. Yeah, Oh, that would be 2273 02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:21,000 Speaker 1: such bad news. I know. But they you know, they 2274 02:07:21,040 --> 02:07:23,680 Speaker 1: want to try to get a super Bowl and try 2275 02:07:23,720 --> 02:07:28,080 Speaker 1: to get Final four. John's an outdoor super Bowl. I 2276 02:07:28,160 --> 02:07:34,600 Speaker 1: know they will never give Philadelphia the outdoor super Bowl. No, no, 2277 02:07:35,200 --> 02:07:38,800 Speaker 1: But my point is who cares about it? Most of 2278 02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:39,400 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. 2279 02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:41,680 Speaker 2: I only think the super Bowl should be in a 2280 02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:42,880 Speaker 2: select few cities. 2281 02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:44,920 Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm with you. I think it should be in 2282 02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:47,440 Speaker 1: warmer only as a reward for a good season, like 2283 02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:50,560 Speaker 1: going to playing cold weather game and it's not a 2284 02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:52,760 Speaker 1: fun city, doesn't feel like a super Bowl award. 2285 02:07:53,080 --> 02:07:55,760 Speaker 2: No, and and truthfully, we know what that game is 2286 02:07:55,760 --> 02:08:00,680 Speaker 2: about other than for the participants, it's to celebrate and 2287 02:08:00,720 --> 02:08:05,720 Speaker 2: it's you know, everybody goes there and it's it's it's 2288 02:08:05,960 --> 02:08:09,960 Speaker 2: more of a destination. It needs to be somewhere that's 2289 02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:13,440 Speaker 2: a that's a. 2290 02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:17,520 Speaker 1: A resort type of town. Strong agree. And that Dome like, 2291 02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:21,400 Speaker 1: I'm so anti. I'm so anti at dome and in 2292 02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:28,360 Speaker 1: these Northeast Carter cities. Could you imagine the Steelers playing 2293 02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:31,680 Speaker 1: in the dome? So the thing about it, I think, actually, 2294 02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:34,120 Speaker 1: I think all outdoor stadium should have grass, by the way, 2295 02:08:34,960 --> 02:08:38,720 Speaker 1: and the reason my best example for that is that 2296 02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:43,680 Speaker 1: if Philly and Washington and Green Bay can all have grass, 2297 02:08:43,720 --> 02:08:45,960 Speaker 1: you can have grass too. Now the grass in Washington 2298 02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:48,520 Speaker 1: is atrocious, don't get me wrong. In Pittsburgh, the grass 2299 02:08:48,560 --> 02:08:50,680 Speaker 1: is the here goes on is absolutely atrocious. Like it's 2300 02:08:50,680 --> 02:08:54,400 Speaker 1: not good grass, but it's grass. Like I live in 2301 02:08:54,440 --> 02:08:56,560 Speaker 1: the I live in here in Charlotte. Why is there 2302 02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:58,760 Speaker 1: not grass on the field in Charlotte? We had grass forever. 2303 02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:02,160 Speaker 1: David Tepper comes in, I know he wants soccer at events, 2304 02:09:02,200 --> 02:09:05,080 Speaker 1: all those things, I get it, But buddy, I think 2305 02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:10,880 Speaker 1: everything everyone should have grass all the time. Yeah, yeah, uh. 2306 02:09:11,320 --> 02:09:13,480 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this because I wanted to bring 2307 02:09:13,520 --> 02:09:18,160 Speaker 2: this up earlier this week. Jerry Jones was at the 2308 02:09:18,200 --> 02:09:24,240 Speaker 2: premiere of his Netflix, the Netflix documentary right, the America's Team, 2309 02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:29,280 Speaker 2: and he was talking about the idea of all the 2310 02:09:29,680 --> 02:09:34,320 Speaker 2: you know, the hype and the circus type atmosphere, right, 2311 02:09:34,400 --> 02:09:37,960 Speaker 2: and he's, you know, there's no no bet and there's 2312 02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:41,480 Speaker 2: no such thing as bad publicity and the whole nine, 2313 02:09:42,120 --> 02:09:44,200 Speaker 2: and that's what makes us the Cowboys. 2314 02:09:46,040 --> 02:09:49,880 Speaker 1: And it really, it really struck because. 2315 02:09:51,200 --> 02:09:54,320 Speaker 2: He's he's wrong, Like, I get the able age, old 2316 02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:59,240 Speaker 2: marketing thing, but what made the Cowboys the Cowboys was 2317 02:09:59,280 --> 02:10:05,240 Speaker 2: they had two dynasties in the seventies bleeding into the 2318 02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:09,680 Speaker 2: eighties and then the nineties, and couple that with the 2319 02:10:09,800 --> 02:10:15,160 Speaker 2: rise of football, with the Thanksgiving Day thing that was 2320 02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:19,080 Speaker 2: a text ram thing. They just were on and they 2321 02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:25,600 Speaker 2: were good. What made them so popular was because they 2322 02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:30,480 Speaker 2: were good, correct, not because they have all kinds of 2323 02:10:30,520 --> 02:10:34,880 Speaker 2: craziness going on. And like having a contract squabble with 2324 02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:39,440 Speaker 2: your best player isn't like, well, bad publicity's good publicy. No, 2325 02:10:39,560 --> 02:10:42,440 Speaker 2: it's just stupid. And if you're not going to be 2326 02:10:42,560 --> 02:10:46,520 Speaker 2: good that's going to erode. I know people say, oh, 2327 02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:49,120 Speaker 2: they can't get up on the Cowboys. Yeah, until there's 2328 02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:53,040 Speaker 2: three or four years in a row of unwatchable football. 2329 02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:56,320 Speaker 2: They were unwatchable when Dak Prescott went down last year. 2330 02:10:57,120 --> 02:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad the way you're you're framing this in a 2331 02:10:59,080 --> 02:11:02,720 Speaker 1: really good way, right, because the reason why any team 2332 02:11:02,800 --> 02:11:05,840 Speaker 1: ends up being popular originally is they have to win, right, 2333 02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:07,520 Speaker 1: They have to win. You have to win to be popular, 2334 02:11:08,120 --> 02:11:11,560 Speaker 1: and that you can retain that popularity after that. But 2335 02:11:11,720 --> 02:11:14,320 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones seems to have forgotten that that's what made 2336 02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:19,200 Speaker 1: his team popular, and he he at least refuses to accept. 2337 02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:23,200 Speaker 1: I think that that he needs to to and I 2338 02:11:23,240 --> 02:11:24,920 Speaker 1: don't think he's making day to day We've talked about 2339 02:11:24,920 --> 02:11:28,440 Speaker 1: this before, but that he clearly is still involved enough 2340 02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:30,080 Speaker 1: to where I think it's hurt of the team. You 2341 02:11:30,120 --> 02:11:31,800 Speaker 1: can't go out in a press conference and say that 2342 02:11:31,840 --> 02:11:36,360 Speaker 1: we enjoy essentially this mess when you should just pay 2343 02:11:36,520 --> 02:11:41,560 Speaker 1: pay dude, pay your best player, bro like it the 2344 02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:43,760 Speaker 1: best team in the NFL, Like, what do you want 2345 02:11:43,760 --> 02:11:45,400 Speaker 1: to take an example from the best teams the NFL. 2346 02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:49,000 Speaker 1: They pay their best players early because it's cheaper and 2347 02:11:49,200 --> 02:11:51,800 Speaker 1: it keeps your roster together and it makes everyone happy. Like, 2348 02:11:51,840 --> 02:11:55,080 Speaker 1: these are all reasons why you should keep and sign 2349 02:11:55,120 --> 02:12:02,920 Speaker 1: your best players. Dude, exactly, I don't understand it. They 2350 02:12:03,840 --> 02:12:04,880 Speaker 1: were unwatchable. 2351 02:12:04,880 --> 02:12:07,040 Speaker 2: Who were cared about the Cowboys last year when Dak 2352 02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:08,840 Speaker 2: wasn't there no running game? 2353 02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:12,240 Speaker 1: And now I don't know what they're runn to be. 2354 02:12:12,800 --> 02:12:15,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they still have no running game. 2355 02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:19,200 Speaker 1: I still don't think the run game was answered. Uh no, 2356 02:12:19,520 --> 02:12:22,480 Speaker 1: they don't have a premiere back. Certainly that's true. 2357 02:12:23,040 --> 02:12:27,240 Speaker 2: I mean, did you send Javonte Williams before the knee 2358 02:12:27,240 --> 02:12:29,720 Speaker 2: injury I thought had a chance to be really good 2359 02:12:30,720 --> 02:12:33,200 Speaker 2: and Sanders last year? 2360 02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:40,640 Speaker 1: Injuries, man, injuries, it changes everybody, right, change his careers. Yeah, 2361 02:12:40,680 --> 02:12:43,120 Speaker 1: so I look at him now, I go, I don't 2362 02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:47,680 Speaker 1: know how good at a goun to be? Not very good? Well, 2363 02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I tell you back, the Cowboys I think 2364 02:12:49,680 --> 02:12:52,120 Speaker 1: are going to be like a nine win team if 2365 02:12:52,160 --> 02:12:54,320 Speaker 1: Doc is healthy. That when Donalds healthy, they win a 2366 02:12:54,400 --> 02:12:56,840 Speaker 1: ton of games. But like, as far as what I'm 2367 02:12:56,840 --> 02:13:00,800 Speaker 1: talking about the level of beating a true Super Bowl, go, no, 2368 02:13:00,840 --> 02:13:03,680 Speaker 1: they're still very far away from that. They're throwing their division. 2369 02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:08,080 Speaker 1: It's hard to be when you're third in your division. Yeah, 2370 02:13:08,160 --> 02:13:11,200 Speaker 1: some people are talking about Dallas finishing second. I don't 2371 02:13:11,240 --> 02:13:13,320 Speaker 1: see you. I'm not on the I'm not on the 2372 02:13:13,360 --> 02:13:16,360 Speaker 1: Commander's year two. Jadon Daniels struggle thing. I get it. 2373 02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:19,520 Speaker 1: They played some bump quarterback last year, but they were 2374 02:13:19,520 --> 02:13:23,040 Speaker 1: they won fourteen game, fourteen to five. The legitimately. Glad 2375 02:13:23,080 --> 02:13:27,880 Speaker 1: you said that, because yeah, this whole talk about Jaden 2376 02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:33,200 Speaker 1: Daniels becoming the sophomore slump, I don't buy it for 2377 02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:38,880 Speaker 1: one second. No, no, guys, Jays, Daniels is is really good. 2378 02:13:39,240 --> 02:13:43,160 Speaker 1: I think you see these rankings come out defintely. I 2379 02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:45,840 Speaker 1: just did an article on it with a rate fifty 2380 02:13:46,040 --> 02:13:48,640 Speaker 1: NFL personnel. Right, I think Daniels was six or seven. 2381 02:13:49,760 --> 02:13:52,840 Speaker 1: It's about right. He's he's he is that good. He 2382 02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:56,080 Speaker 1: is that good as a quarterback already. And I don't 2383 02:13:56,120 --> 02:13:58,000 Speaker 1: think that we are acknowledging that. People look at what 2384 02:13:58,040 --> 02:14:00,760 Speaker 1: happened with Stroud last season, I think that's gonna happen 2385 02:14:00,840 --> 02:14:04,960 Speaker 1: with Well, it's it's not. They're different quarterbacks. Daniels is better. 2386 02:14:05,800 --> 02:14:08,960 Speaker 1: Different offenses, different offensive lines, different coordinators. It's not. 2387 02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:12,560 Speaker 2: The cjs O line also was bagged not was badly 2388 02:14:12,680 --> 02:14:13,160 Speaker 2: last year. 2389 02:14:13,440 --> 02:14:18,400 Speaker 1: This is legitimately James is gonna be one of the 2390 02:14:18,520 --> 02:14:24,760 Speaker 1: He's really good. Yeah, I agree, I agree. I do 2391 02:14:24,880 --> 02:14:27,840 Speaker 1: not see a regression. Now. 2392 02:14:27,920 --> 02:14:30,040 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna win all those games, but 2393 02:14:30,120 --> 02:14:33,160 Speaker 2: I still think they're You can. 2394 02:14:33,280 --> 02:14:37,480 Speaker 1: You can twelve five the season, they can be eleven 2395 02:14:37,520 --> 02:14:40,400 Speaker 1: and six and be just as good as last season. Yeah, 2396 02:14:40,440 --> 02:14:44,560 Speaker 1: it's because it's tough for schedule. Yeah, absolutely, yep.

Jeff Schwartz in for Fitsie, I mean 2406 02:15:19,680 --> 02:15:24,720 Speaker 1: Anthony Garganham. Were hanging out on a Fox uh pre 2407 02:15:24,920 --> 02:15:28,600 Speaker 1: seed Big preseason Day Saturday. A lot of one o'clock games. 2408 02:15:29,280 --> 02:15:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't remember all the one o'clock games pas at night. 2409 02:15:32,760 --> 02:15:35,360 Speaker 1: So this is new. So I'm glad you mentioned this. 2410 02:15:35,400 --> 02:15:36,960 Speaker 1: I talked to this. I was telling someone this the 2411 02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:42,040 Speaker 1: other day. So preseason used to be all at night 2412 02:15:42,200 --> 02:15:45,600 Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. One, it's a thousand degrees outside, 2413 02:15:46,440 --> 02:15:49,360 Speaker 1: so they just like like playing a one o'clock game 2414 02:15:49,400 --> 02:15:53,080 Speaker 1: in Charlotte. It's kind of unfair. It's the top degrees outside, 2415 02:15:54,760 --> 02:16:00,120 Speaker 1: and and the games just were on TV, like that's it. 2416 02:16:00,640 --> 02:16:03,360 Speaker 1: But simple. Now they're on TV, so they stack them 2417 02:16:03,520 --> 02:16:06,520 Speaker 1: for the schedules for NFL network. That's that's that's what 2418 02:16:06,600 --> 02:16:10,000 Speaker 1: it's for us, off for anyone else, right, and that's 2419 02:16:10,080 --> 02:16:16,000 Speaker 1: why the games are are on during the day. Yeah, wow, 2420 02:16:16,200 --> 02:16:18,240 Speaker 1: that's wild, right, Like it used to it used to 2421 02:16:18,240 --> 02:16:19,880 Speaker 1: be only and they used to be obviously be on 2422 02:16:20,040 --> 02:16:23,840 Speaker 1: like everyone played the same day. Maybe there was one Thursday, 2423 02:16:24,640 --> 02:16:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, well the third week four was always Thursday, right, 2424 02:16:27,200 --> 02:16:30,800 Speaker 1: There is always Thursday, So I think that's why. Yeah, 2425 02:16:30,840 --> 02:16:33,880 Speaker 1: that's crazy. Yeah, I felt like there was more Friday 2426 02:16:33,959 --> 02:16:35,960 Speaker 1: Night Gate, Like there was only two last night. And 2427 02:16:36,280 --> 02:16:38,400 Speaker 1: that's different. They're all spaced out we had, they're all 2428 02:16:38,480 --> 02:16:41,680 Speaker 1: they're all week there. I mean they're there Friday, Saturday, 2429 02:16:41,879 --> 02:16:45,160 Speaker 1: Sunday and then it was one Monday night even. Yeah. Yeah, 2430 02:16:45,200 --> 02:16:49,160 Speaker 1: that's wild. I guess what, buddy, we watched all of them. Yes, 2431 02:16:51,040 --> 02:16:54,119 Speaker 1: all right, I know what, man, who's watching them? Let's 2432 02:16:54,160 --> 02:16:58,560 Speaker 1: take a look at sports from a betting standpoint with 2433 02:16:58,760 --> 02:17:01,600 Speaker 1: our man the Bright, Brad feire Burg. 2434 02:17:01,640 --> 02:17:04,440 Speaker 5: Good morning, Bright, Hey, how are you doing this morning? 2435 02:17:04,520 --> 02:17:06,560 Speaker 1: My friends? Good? Good buddy. 2436 02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:11,840 Speaker 2: We were just talking about the preseason and well, you know, 2437 02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:16,400 Speaker 2: four games, it's a four game slate on the NFL 2438 02:17:16,480 --> 02:17:17,120 Speaker 2: Network today. 2439 02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:19,680 Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's funny, guys. You see what the 2440 02:17:19,720 --> 02:17:21,440 Speaker 5: old Runners went last week? Did you guys see what 2441 02:17:21,520 --> 02:17:21,720 Speaker 5: it was? 2442 02:17:22,360 --> 02:17:26,400 Speaker 1: Yeah? And then they went and then overs went two yesterday, Yeah. 2443 02:17:26,400 --> 02:17:27,280 Speaker 5: The sixteen and two? 2444 02:17:28,040 --> 02:17:29,880 Speaker 1: Who seen in two? Yeah? 2445 02:17:30,160 --> 02:17:33,280 Speaker 5: Now, it's interesting. There's two ways to look at it. 2446 02:17:33,720 --> 02:17:33,920 Speaker 1: You know. 2447 02:17:34,520 --> 02:17:36,680 Speaker 5: Is it just a fluke because in the years past, 2448 02:17:37,120 --> 02:17:39,120 Speaker 5: the scoring and you know, in pre season, as you 2449 02:17:39,160 --> 02:17:43,480 Speaker 5: guys know, was like honestly it was almost like impossible, right. 2450 02:17:44,120 --> 02:17:48,280 Speaker 5: But a theory that you know that I think is yes. 2451 02:17:48,480 --> 02:17:49,880 Speaker 5: I've been trying to come up with why I think 2452 02:17:49,920 --> 02:17:53,000 Speaker 5: it is is I think coaches now and again maybe 2453 02:17:53,040 --> 02:17:56,600 Speaker 5: I'm over putting into it, but they want I think 2454 02:17:56,640 --> 02:17:59,320 Speaker 5: they want to like see what they have at quarterback 2455 02:17:59,400 --> 02:18:02,080 Speaker 5: more and thattly trying to maybe score more to see, Okay, 2456 02:18:02,160 --> 02:18:04,480 Speaker 5: if our quarterback is hurt, then we have someone who 2457 02:18:04,480 --> 02:18:07,560 Speaker 5: actually can come in there and actually do something and 2458 02:18:07,680 --> 02:18:10,600 Speaker 5: let me try to actually score and make this like 2459 02:18:10,680 --> 02:18:14,800 Speaker 5: a real thing as opposed to just anything changed other 2460 02:18:14,879 --> 02:18:17,120 Speaker 5: than that. I don't know. Maybe I'm dead wrong on that, 2461 02:18:17,240 --> 02:18:19,840 Speaker 5: and maybe it's just other issues that are you know, 2462 02:18:20,120 --> 02:18:23,920 Speaker 5: leading into it, but it's definitely it's something that, uh, 2463 02:18:25,200 --> 02:18:27,200 Speaker 5: I think if you want to bet an under, I 2464 02:18:27,240 --> 02:18:30,440 Speaker 5: would certainly bet it a post because I think these 2465 02:18:30,520 --> 02:18:31,640 Speaker 5: lines will only creep. 2466 02:18:31,480 --> 02:18:34,760 Speaker 1: Up and up and up, guys, so I need it's 2467 02:18:34,760 --> 02:18:39,120 Speaker 1: a combination of multiple things. Coaches are certainly more aggressive 2468 02:18:39,160 --> 02:18:41,039 Speaker 1: in preseason ever before there's goal for one and fourth 2469 02:18:41,120 --> 02:18:42,920 Speaker 1: out all the time. Now like they just don't they 2470 02:18:43,040 --> 02:18:45,040 Speaker 1: just don't care. They goal for it all the time. 2471 02:18:45,480 --> 02:18:47,880 Speaker 1: That that plays a big role, a big role in it. 2472 02:18:48,440 --> 02:18:51,119 Speaker 1: Quarterback play I think is better for the backup position 2473 02:18:51,240 --> 02:18:53,080 Speaker 1: now that's ever been. There's just a lot of backups 2474 02:18:53,120 --> 02:18:56,080 Speaker 1: have played a lot of football before, uh, which I think, 2475 02:18:56,160 --> 02:18:57,600 Speaker 1: which I think is also the reason why. And the 2476 02:18:57,680 --> 02:19:02,039 Speaker 1: last thing too is they're there's a lot more football 2477 02:19:02,280 --> 02:19:05,080 Speaker 1: like in like like defense offense. I think it just 2478 02:19:05,240 --> 02:19:08,600 Speaker 1: feels just for me watching like there's more in like 2479 02:19:09,160 --> 02:19:11,240 Speaker 1: that's able to be done. Like the defenses are doing 2480 02:19:11,320 --> 02:19:13,360 Speaker 1: wild stuff for a week one of the preseason last week, 2481 02:19:13,440 --> 02:19:15,840 Speaker 1: like the like concepts, all this stuff, I think all 2482 02:19:15,959 --> 02:19:21,000 Speaker 1: that matters. So are you changing how you wager? Like, 2483 02:19:21,120 --> 02:19:23,600 Speaker 1: for example, I know one sharp group like just didn't 2484 02:19:23,640 --> 02:19:26,160 Speaker 1: bet any totals really at all this week? Are you 2485 02:19:26,320 --> 02:19:30,440 Speaker 1: changing how you are wagering on these games based off 2486 02:19:30,520 --> 02:19:33,000 Speaker 1: of the totals we've seen go over so far. 2487 02:19:33,120 --> 02:19:36,560 Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's funny me being a mathematical geek, 2488 02:19:37,640 --> 02:19:40,680 Speaker 5: I try to say, what were the chances of what 2489 02:19:40,879 --> 02:19:44,520 Speaker 5: happened last week with the totals going? Like, you know, 2490 02:19:44,879 --> 02:19:46,960 Speaker 5: I think last week they were fourteen and two and 2491 02:19:47,080 --> 02:19:49,480 Speaker 5: it was I got I wrote it there, I forget 2492 02:19:49,480 --> 02:19:52,879 Speaker 5: what it was it was, so it was incredibly almost zero, 2493 02:19:53,040 --> 02:19:54,800 Speaker 5: and the EO chances are going fifteen and more than 2494 02:19:54,840 --> 02:19:59,160 Speaker 5: sixteen ohver, like literally basically zero. So basically what I 2495 02:19:59,240 --> 02:20:02,160 Speaker 5: said to myself was, you know what, I don't think 2496 02:20:02,520 --> 02:20:04,600 Speaker 5: it was a flute that it went fourteen and two, 2497 02:20:05,200 --> 02:20:10,400 Speaker 5: that wentwolve and four eleven and five, ten and six. 2498 02:20:10,480 --> 02:20:12,680 Speaker 5: I'd be like, that doesn't really that to me can 2499 02:20:12,720 --> 02:20:14,800 Speaker 5: always happen. It's like just if you if you sit 2500 02:20:14,879 --> 02:20:16,680 Speaker 5: to here by yourself and you just flip a coin 2501 02:20:17,040 --> 02:20:20,119 Speaker 5: sixteen times, how many how many times you get fourteen 2502 02:20:20,200 --> 02:20:23,440 Speaker 5: heads or fourteen tails in a sixteen game sample, You're 2503 02:20:23,480 --> 02:20:24,920 Speaker 5: gonna be doing it for a heck of a long time. 2504 02:20:24,959 --> 02:20:28,320 Speaker 5: I can promise you that. So what I basically kind 2505 02:20:28,360 --> 02:20:30,560 Speaker 5: of did is kind of what you just said. I 2506 02:20:31,480 --> 02:20:36,640 Speaker 5: I'm not that one total because I my numbers would 2507 02:20:36,680 --> 02:20:39,240 Speaker 5: maybe think based off previous data that some of the 2508 02:20:39,280 --> 02:20:42,200 Speaker 5: stuff is too high. But I don't need to run 2509 02:20:42,240 --> 02:20:46,039 Speaker 5: in front of a train that potentially is just coming 2510 02:20:46,120 --> 02:20:49,160 Speaker 5: at me because I'm not factoring in enough of what 2511 02:20:49,440 --> 02:20:50,640 Speaker 5: you know, some of the stuff you just said. 2512 02:20:51,160 --> 02:20:55,640 Speaker 2: Quarterback, that's real, like the data now is real, Like 2513 02:20:55,720 --> 02:20:59,600 Speaker 2: what you saw over the week one is real because 2514 02:21:00,680 --> 02:21:02,520 Speaker 2: coaches are trying to score. 2515 02:21:04,040 --> 02:21:05,800 Speaker 1: Jeff said it earlier. We were talking about this, but 2516 02:21:06,280 --> 02:21:11,520 Speaker 1: he's right. The backup quarterbacks are better, they're more they're centered, 2517 02:21:11,959 --> 02:21:15,880 Speaker 1: they're more positioned in the system now, right, So like 2518 02:21:16,440 --> 02:21:19,880 Speaker 1: Tanner McKay, well, this is his third year in the system, 2519 02:21:20,800 --> 02:21:23,560 Speaker 1: of course, so you know there's a degree of being 2520 02:21:23,680 --> 02:21:27,920 Speaker 1: comfortable and that's going to now allow them to move 2521 02:21:28,000 --> 02:21:30,039 Speaker 1: the ball, and they want to take a look at 2522 02:21:30,080 --> 02:21:32,600 Speaker 1: young receivers. Like so I look at the Eagles, they go, well, 2523 02:21:32,640 --> 02:21:36,360 Speaker 1: we got this position battle with receivers. So they're not 2524 02:21:36,400 --> 02:21:39,879 Speaker 1: going to put dtr or Kyle mccordin. They're gonna put 2525 02:21:40,160 --> 02:21:42,200 Speaker 1: McKee in because they want to see the kids. 2526 02:21:43,840 --> 02:21:48,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny talking about Look, Anthony knows like one 2527 02:21:48,640 --> 02:21:52,720 Speaker 5: of our favorite players, Jeffers Davies. We love McKay. That's 2528 02:21:52,720 --> 02:21:56,440 Speaker 5: the guy that we talked about, like, you know, seemingly forever. 2529 02:21:57,320 --> 02:21:59,520 Speaker 5: Every single time the guy plays, he just plays great. 2530 02:22:00,040 --> 02:22:02,959 Speaker 5: And it's minds to deal of line. Chris Cardoi does 2531 02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:05,680 Speaker 5: as touch touchdowns all Tanner McKie does this play. Well, 2532 02:22:07,320 --> 02:22:09,240 Speaker 5: it hasn't gotten a chance, but I'm always gonna one 2533 02:22:09,640 --> 02:22:11,520 Speaker 5: one day. I think some team's gonna sign that guy 2534 02:22:11,600 --> 02:22:13,960 Speaker 5: and get a real gym. But I did bet the 2535 02:22:13,959 --> 02:22:18,080 Speaker 5: Eagles in the first half. I usually don't like laying 2536 02:22:18,400 --> 02:22:21,400 Speaker 5: numbers whatnot in preseason, but I did here with the Eagles. 2537 02:22:22,280 --> 02:22:22,720 Speaker 1: I took the. 2538 02:22:22,800 --> 02:22:27,080 Speaker 5: Minus one in the first half. I really like that 2539 02:22:27,240 --> 02:22:31,000 Speaker 5: be you know, I just in Cleveland. I really don't 2540 02:22:31,040 --> 02:22:33,440 Speaker 5: care who plays quarterback for Cleveland. To be honest, but 2541 02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:36,120 Speaker 5: I feel in the first quarter at least I'll get 2542 02:22:36,240 --> 02:22:40,120 Speaker 5: McKeith for sure, maybe the entire first half. And if 2543 02:22:40,200 --> 02:22:42,600 Speaker 5: that's the case, I mean, you know, I even i'm 2544 02:22:42,680 --> 02:22:45,000 Speaker 5: comfortably i'd go up to a dollar sixty five dollars 2545 02:22:45,040 --> 02:22:47,840 Speaker 5: sixty for sure, I was able to get a dollar forty. 2546 02:22:48,160 --> 02:22:49,600 Speaker 5: That's my favorite preseason bet. 2547 02:22:50,560 --> 02:22:52,640 Speaker 1: Are you doing any live way during these games? Depending 2548 02:22:52,680 --> 02:22:55,280 Speaker 1: on on either reps or sort of how the first 2549 02:22:55,360 --> 02:22:57,720 Speaker 1: half goes. If it's high scoring, you're going under? Like, 2550 02:22:57,879 --> 02:22:59,800 Speaker 1: are we look at any live waging opportunities as well? 2551 02:23:00,200 --> 02:23:02,200 Speaker 5: You know, it's funny, that's a great question, Jeff, I have, 2552 02:23:02,400 --> 02:23:05,720 Speaker 5: and that's maybe something I should potentially looking at more. 2553 02:23:05,760 --> 02:23:09,480 Speaker 5: And the reason I haven't and probably necessarily won't, it's 2554 02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:12,320 Speaker 5: just this reason is that I don't know how much 2555 02:23:12,360 --> 02:23:15,080 Speaker 5: I can trust whatever I was seeing for those same 2556 02:23:15,120 --> 02:23:16,960 Speaker 5: players to be in the next series to follow what 2557 02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:20,760 Speaker 5: I'm saying. Yeah, I just so because of that, I 2558 02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:24,160 Speaker 5: always doing that. It's funny, Jeff, I always say to Anthony, 2559 02:23:24,160 --> 02:23:25,680 Speaker 5: I go, my favorite thing is till I've wager I 2560 02:23:25,800 --> 02:23:27,880 Speaker 5: do trust your eyes. Let means of question, Jeff, you 2561 02:23:28,040 --> 02:23:30,200 Speaker 5: was a great player, played many years in the league. 2562 02:23:30,760 --> 02:23:33,320 Speaker 5: I'm just assuming you know, you're a smart man obviously, 2563 02:23:33,400 --> 02:23:36,160 Speaker 5: and you just by playing your athletics your whole life. 2564 02:23:36,200 --> 02:23:38,000 Speaker 5: I'm sure there are games that when you were just 2565 02:23:38,160 --> 02:23:41,199 Speaker 5: on the field, you knew you had a team, You're like, okay, 2566 02:23:41,400 --> 02:23:44,080 Speaker 5: like we just have this. This is just our day. 2567 02:23:44,680 --> 02:23:47,080 Speaker 5: They can't stop us. This is just great. And there's 2568 02:23:47,120 --> 02:23:49,200 Speaker 5: other days where I'm sure you're like, oh my god, 2569 02:23:49,280 --> 02:23:52,640 Speaker 5: this guy, we can't. We're struggling this we just whatever 2570 02:23:52,680 --> 02:23:54,640 Speaker 5: way we can't. We're struggling to block this team. It's 2571 02:23:54,720 --> 02:23:57,959 Speaker 5: just they seem to know what we're doing. And I'm 2572 02:23:58,040 --> 02:23:59,960 Speaker 5: just sure there's again there's days like it's like an 2573 02:24:00,200 --> 02:24:02,360 Speaker 5: forget your sports in life. There's just thing days where 2574 02:24:02,440 --> 02:24:05,200 Speaker 5: just not going your way. I'm a big proponent for 2575 02:24:05,200 --> 02:24:09,720 Speaker 5: everyone listening live wagering. To me, it trusts your eyes 2576 02:24:09,760 --> 02:24:11,760 Speaker 5: if you like one of the best. The two best 2577 02:24:11,800 --> 02:24:13,800 Speaker 5: examples I could ever come up with a knife were 2578 02:24:13,840 --> 02:24:16,040 Speaker 5: the two Super Bowls for the Cancay Chiefs against the 2579 02:24:16,080 --> 02:24:19,360 Speaker 5: Buccaneers against Eagles, because if anyone watched those games, and 2580 02:24:19,440 --> 02:24:22,000 Speaker 5: if you had no bias and you're just watching the game, 2581 02:24:23,040 --> 02:24:25,680 Speaker 5: there would only be one takeaway. You had Kansas City 2582 02:24:25,760 --> 02:24:28,000 Speaker 5: could Trunt could not block Campa Day's front, and they 2583 02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:31,720 Speaker 5: could not block Leagles front, and it was it was 2584 02:24:31,720 --> 02:24:35,280 Speaker 5: gonna be impossible for Cansadity to win those games. Those 2585 02:24:35,280 --> 02:24:37,760 Speaker 5: are my two favorite examples of live wagering where before 2586 02:24:37,800 --> 02:24:41,040 Speaker 5: the game he's the favorite of both situations and no 2587 02:24:41,080 --> 02:24:42,720 Speaker 5: one would have thought it would be impossible for them 2588 02:24:42,800 --> 02:24:45,600 Speaker 5: to win. But on that day, for whatever the reason was, 2589 02:24:46,040 --> 02:24:48,360 Speaker 5: there was no way they were going to be able 2590 02:24:48,400 --> 02:24:51,000 Speaker 5: to win those games. So I'm a huge proponent of that. 2591 02:24:52,200 --> 02:24:57,280 Speaker 1: Well, you're right in baseball's you know, guy has good stuff, right, 2592 02:24:58,160 --> 02:25:01,039 Speaker 1: the guys pitch him well, like yeah, I. 2593 02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:04,080 Speaker 5: Always say it's like yeah, if you're, if you're, it's 2594 02:25:04,120 --> 02:25:08,440 Speaker 5: like it just exactly. People will always just don't give 2595 02:25:08,520 --> 02:25:11,000 Speaker 5: that enough credit. Again, like, yeah, guy, he's like the 2596 02:25:11,040 --> 02:25:13,959 Speaker 5: guy from Baltimore. You say he's pitching a perfect game. Okay, 2597 02:25:14,160 --> 02:25:16,320 Speaker 5: like you know, like he's obviously pitching well. So whatever 2598 02:25:16,360 --> 02:25:20,680 Speaker 5: the market was favoring Brandon Young and Valdez was the 2599 02:25:20,720 --> 02:25:23,840 Speaker 5: big favorite in the game. But clearly at that point, 2600 02:25:24,040 --> 02:25:25,959 Speaker 5: if they're like four innings, the guy it's a perfect game, 2601 02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:28,800 Speaker 5: it's like okay, wait a minute, they're still favoring Houston 2602 02:25:28,840 --> 02:25:30,920 Speaker 5: by a run and a half. You're like, wait a minute, 2603 02:25:31,200 --> 02:25:33,520 Speaker 5: this guy is pitching a perfect game. This is not 2604 02:25:34,360 --> 02:25:36,480 Speaker 5: you have to readjust and they weren't. 2605 02:25:36,600 --> 02:25:39,720 Speaker 2: And it wasn't and they weren't barrowing them up. They 2606 02:25:39,800 --> 02:25:42,440 Speaker 2: were they were he was having good at bats like 2607 02:25:42,480 --> 02:25:44,800 Speaker 2: there's you know, sometimes that can lie because you can 2608 02:25:44,879 --> 02:25:45,320 Speaker 2: have a lot of. 2609 02:25:45,360 --> 02:25:48,360 Speaker 1: Loud outs, but there was none of that, Like you know, 2610 02:25:48,800 --> 02:25:51,680 Speaker 1: you see what they were doing. No, I'm completely with 2611 02:25:51,840 --> 02:25:53,440 Speaker 1: and I can I give you, guys before we get 2612 02:25:53,720 --> 02:25:55,200 Speaker 1: out here. I know we're up against how the best 2613 02:25:55,240 --> 02:25:57,160 Speaker 1: wager at all sports right now? That can I give 2614 02:25:57,160 --> 02:26:01,200 Speaker 1: it out for you guys? Please please? The Chicago Sky 2615 02:26:01,240 --> 02:26:04,680 Speaker 1: on a WNBA have covered one of their last thirteen 2616 02:26:04,760 --> 02:26:08,280 Speaker 1: games since injuries has been out and and they're not 2617 02:26:08,440 --> 02:26:12,280 Speaker 1: covering the games by large amounts, Like you go look 2618 02:26:12,320 --> 02:26:14,400 Speaker 1: it up. It's the best wager in sports. I've wagered 2619 02:26:14,400 --> 02:26:17,200 Speaker 1: against the Chicago Sky thirteen straight games. They've covered one 2620 02:26:17,240 --> 02:26:23,920 Speaker 1: of thirteen games. They don't score without injuries. They are atrocious. 2621 02:26:23,959 --> 02:26:25,600 Speaker 1: They were down thirty last night in the in the 2622 02:26:25,640 --> 02:26:26,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. 2623 02:26:26,360 --> 02:26:29,039 Speaker 5: Understand, chef, you know, have the youngerstand just as profitable. 2624 02:26:29,120 --> 02:26:29,560 Speaker 1: You're not sure. 2625 02:26:29,680 --> 02:26:30,000 Speaker 3: I don't. 2626 02:26:30,440 --> 02:26:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. There are some games. I bet they're 2627 02:26:32,640 --> 02:26:35,200 Speaker 1: a team total under as well. I should have done 2628 02:26:35,200 --> 02:26:36,720 Speaker 1: it last night, but I just I just had so 2629 02:26:36,840 --> 02:26:39,480 Speaker 1: much money on on their the number that I didn't 2630 02:26:39,520 --> 02:26:41,720 Speaker 1: do it. And also too, it's worth pointing out again 2631 02:26:41,800 --> 02:26:45,360 Speaker 1: like again, I probably I'm studying this because I make 2632 02:26:45,440 --> 02:26:48,280 Speaker 1: money on this on WNBA. The number is also if 2633 02:26:48,280 --> 02:26:50,560 Speaker 1: you can grab it early, like they opened minus four 2634 02:26:51,280 --> 02:26:54,240 Speaker 1: vaca four. I closed at seven and a half, so 2635 02:26:54,520 --> 02:26:56,280 Speaker 1: like you can get a good I just wait till 2636 02:26:56,280 --> 02:26:58,880 Speaker 1: the number pops up. I get it immediately, like and 2637 02:26:58,959 --> 02:27:00,960 Speaker 1: then it gets a seven half eight so or something 2638 02:27:01,040 --> 02:27:03,560 Speaker 1: like that. Gets it's wild, bro. Last night they scored 2639 02:27:03,640 --> 02:27:06,720 Speaker 1: I think like twenty points in total of the second half. 2640 02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:10,480 Speaker 1: They can't score. They can't score. Wow. And so she 2641 02:27:10,600 --> 02:27:12,680 Speaker 1: might come back soon. They're talking about injuries coming back 2642 02:27:12,680 --> 02:27:14,760 Speaker 1: at some point pretty soon. But as long as she 2643 02:27:14,840 --> 02:27:17,800 Speaker 1: doesn't play, the best wayger of sports is fading this guy. 2644 02:27:19,480 --> 02:27:27,280 Speaker 1: Wow wow, expected check it out. I'm gonna be the 2645 02:27:27,360 --> 02:27:29,880 Speaker 1: number again, but make sure Reece doesn't play. If she 2646 02:27:29,920 --> 02:27:31,920 Speaker 1: they're talking about her coming back soon, I don't think 2647 02:27:31,959 --> 02:27:33,760 Speaker 1: she's coming back. I think she's gonna be out most 2648 02:27:33,800 --> 02:27:37,280 Speaker 1: of the season. Go look at the numbers that they 2649 02:27:37,440 --> 02:27:42,000 Speaker 1: They're getting freaking smoked in these wid I'm gonna do it, 2650 02:27:43,680 --> 02:27:45,480 Speaker 1: all right.

Jeff was just 2660 02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:19,120 Speaker 5: saying about Angel Reese. Brian Wu They made his old 2661 02:28:19,240 --> 02:28:21,520 Speaker 5: under seventeen a half outs in twenty three starts this year. 2662 02:28:21,520 --> 02:28:23,199 Speaker 5: How many times did he gets going over twenty seventeen 2663 02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:29,040 Speaker 5: nfls A lot twenty three?

Last twelve starts, he's ninety three, 2669 02:28:44,680 --> 02:28:47,039 Speaker 5: averaging over five strikeouts. The game against the red stream 2670 02:28:47,120 --> 02:28:51,080 Speaker 5: that does strikeout, get me preachers over in case, and 2671 02:28:51,160 --> 02:28:56,320 Speaker 5: then Ryan Nelson pitcher Arizona linebacks seventeen three hundred three 2672 02:28:56,360 --> 02:28:59,840 Speaker 5: and half runs. Yes, he's going in Colorado, but Colorado again, 2673 02:29:00,120 --> 02:29:02,880 Speaker 5: such a bad team. I'll trust it. Nelson doesn't give 2674 02:29:02,959 --> 02:29:05,280 Speaker 5: up four runs and last but not least, I bet 2675 02:29:05,320 --> 02:29:05,840 Speaker 5: Max Freedo. 2676 02:29:05,879 --> 02:29:06,560 Speaker 1: I usually love. 2677 02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:09,520 Speaker 5: But if last seven starts, stop seven and zero, get 2678 02:29:09,560 --> 02:29:11,160 Speaker 5: me up over one and a half runs, thirty six 2679 02:29:11,200 --> 02:29:14,080 Speaker 5: insty one hits twenty four runs. To give up less 2680 02:29:14,160 --> 02:29:15,360 Speaker 5: than one and a half us have to be pretty 2681 02:29:15,360 --> 02:29:17,720 Speaker 5: close to perfect. I'm not saying this nigga bombed, but 2682 02:29:17,720 --> 02:29:19,200 Speaker 5: I don't think he doesn't be close to perfect. Give 2683 02:29:19,240 --> 02:29:20,199 Speaker 5: me over one and a half runs. 2684 02:29:20,680 --> 02:29:22,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been scuffling. 2685 02:29:22,920 --> 02:29:24,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, get and you get it.

But I would like when I made 2692 02:29:39,440 --> 02:29:41,160 Speaker 5: my numbers, I thought it should have been minus one 2693 02:29:41,200 --> 02:29:43,680 Speaker 5: eighty eight is what I wrote. Three like a fair 2694 02:29:44,040 --> 02:29:47,000 Speaker 5: two way value was minus one eight eight is what 2695 02:29:47,080 --> 02:29:49,680 Speaker 5: I wrote. I was able to get one thirty, but 2696 02:29:51,160 --> 02:29:53,320 Speaker 5: I would still lay one to fifty personally. 2697 02:29:53,200 --> 02:29:53,840 Speaker 1: I would. 2698 02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:58,080 Speaker 5: Didn't he have to be above sixty He had to 2699 02:29:58,120 --> 02:30:00,880 Speaker 5: be above sixty percent for to be a breaking even. Okay, 2700 02:30:01,240 --> 02:30:03,680 Speaker 5: And I think it's I think this bed is, you know, 2701 02:30:04,160 --> 02:30:08,199 Speaker 5: closer to sixty five percent. Would you say, Anthony, when. 2702 02:30:08,040 --> 02:30:10,240 Speaker 1: You say I thought it should be one eighty eight? 2703 02:30:10,879 --> 02:30:14,720 Speaker 5: Is there as models? These models, and yeah, I have 2704 02:30:14,800 --> 02:30:19,520 Speaker 5: these models and it breaks out like based on the projections, 2705 02:30:19,560 --> 02:30:22,080 Speaker 5: I have what the percentages are and all that kind 2706 02:30:22,120 --> 02:30:22,720 Speaker 5: of good stuff. 2707 02:30:22,800 --> 02:30:24,039 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's interesting. 2708 02:30:24,280 --> 02:30:27,200 Speaker 5: It's all like kind of automated for me, but as 2709 02:30:27,200 --> 02:30:29,960 Speaker 5: good as my projection. It's like it's like, I'll give 2710 02:30:29,959 --> 02:30:31,280 Speaker 5: you an example. If you're the first pick in the 2711 02:30:31,360 --> 02:30:35,959 Speaker 5: draft and you picked me, it's the picking cam Ward right, 2712 02:30:35,959 --> 02:30:37,440 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like you have to pick 2713 02:30:37,520 --> 02:30:39,560 Speaker 5: right or if you're picking like you know, back in 2714 02:30:39,600 --> 02:30:42,240 Speaker 5: the day twenty managers, second, you know where you know, 2715 02:30:42,520 --> 02:30:45,520 Speaker 5: you're you're picking Keeley Smith your sim couch. It's only 2716 02:30:45,560 --> 02:30:48,199 Speaker 5: as good as your you know. But if my projections 2717 02:30:48,240 --> 02:30:50,440 Speaker 5: are good, it tells me exactly what what the guy 2718 02:30:50,560 --> 02:30:53,240 Speaker 5: is going to do. It tells my you know it's 2719 02:30:53,280 --> 02:30:55,800 Speaker 5: going to be. It's extremely effective as long as my 2720 02:30:55,879 --> 02:30:56,840 Speaker 5: projections are decent. 2721 02:30:57,240 --> 02:30:59,640 Speaker 1: Do you go through like, did you go through the 2722 02:31:00,600 --> 02:31:03,160 Speaker 1: quarterback rotations like today?

Come on, 2750 02:32:37,600 --> 02:32:38,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna kill it. 2751 02:32:38,440 --> 02:32:42,320 Speaker 8: Took all right, you're gonna kill it all right. We 2752 02:32:42,440 --> 02:32:46,760 Speaker 8: got our man, the brain and uh, the brain and Jeff. 2753 02:32:46,800 --> 02:32:52,720 Speaker 8: This will be really interesting because two bright minds on 2754 02:32:52,879 --> 02:32:57,040 Speaker 8: opposite sides. Question Mark, Jeff, tell Brain, how you feel 2755 02:32:57,080 --> 02:32:57,840 Speaker 8: about the Giants. 2756 02:32:59,520 --> 02:33:03,640 Speaker 1: They're gonna have tough season for for I think a 2757 02:33:03,720 --> 02:33:06,160 Speaker 1: couple of things. One is that I think their schedule 2758 02:33:06,240 --> 02:33:08,840 Speaker 1: is really difficult and I don't really see a lot 2759 02:33:08,959 --> 02:33:11,600 Speaker 1: of ways they are going to win early on, and 2760 02:33:11,720 --> 02:33:13,320 Speaker 1: they don't win early on, I think they have a 2761 02:33:13,440 --> 02:33:17,039 Speaker 1: really chance to combust pretty quickly. And that's really why 2762 02:33:17,080 --> 02:33:19,640 Speaker 1: i'm I'm I'm against them, is that if they can't, 2763 02:33:19,720 --> 02:33:21,960 Speaker 1: if they start slipping, were they really it's going to 2764 02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:24,600 Speaker 1: win their first four games that, I mean, one of 2765 02:33:25,080 --> 02:33:28,880 Speaker 1: four would be pretty fortunate, I feel like, and then 2766 02:33:28,920 --> 02:33:32,320 Speaker 1: it just all goes pretty terribly after that, I feel like, 2767 02:33:32,360 --> 02:33:34,320 Speaker 1: And that's to end up with coaches gone and Jackson 2768 02:33:34,400 --> 02:33:36,920 Speaker 1: darts starting student the later. And I just I think 2769 02:33:36,959 --> 02:33:38,920 Speaker 1: that's part of it's a huge issue for them this year. 2770 02:33:40,760 --> 02:33:43,440 Speaker 5: It look Jeff, obviously, I know you're a very smart guy. 2771 02:33:44,160 --> 02:33:45,480 Speaker 5: Was now I played in the league. You watch it, 2772 02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:48,400 Speaker 5: and I know I respect your opinion at a high level. 2773 02:33:48,600 --> 02:33:51,360 Speaker 5: So please let me first say that. But I you know, 2774 02:33:51,400 --> 02:33:55,240 Speaker 5: I got to be honest. I think sometimes in sports, 2775 02:33:56,440 --> 02:33:59,240 Speaker 5: people just look at Okay Giants. Last year, they sucked, right, 2776 02:33:59,320 --> 02:34:03,720 Speaker 5: they won in fourteen. They didn't bring in freaking like 2777 02:34:04,320 --> 02:34:07,160 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes. They brought in a past this crime shot, 2778 02:34:07,280 --> 02:34:09,480 Speaker 5: Russell Wilson, this team, you know how they going to 2779 02:34:09,520 --> 02:34:13,119 Speaker 5: be good? Well again, I always say, how can Tomorrow's 2780 02:34:13,120 --> 02:34:15,320 Speaker 5: newspaper read to me with the Giants, take it easily 2781 02:34:15,440 --> 02:34:16,960 Speaker 5: read and how I actually think it will read. I 2782 02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:18,760 Speaker 5: look at the roster. I say to myself, do they 2783 02:34:18,760 --> 02:34:20,760 Speaker 5: have a good running game? I absolutely know they have 2784 02:34:20,760 --> 02:34:22,720 Speaker 5: a good running game. They have two good running backs. 2785 02:34:22,760 --> 02:34:25,160 Speaker 5: I think they absolutely be stunned that they don't have 2786 02:34:25,200 --> 02:34:27,120 Speaker 5: a good running game. Do they have an delete one 2787 02:34:27,400 --> 02:34:30,560 Speaker 5: number one wide receiver? They absolutely do. Now, if I'm 2788 02:34:30,600 --> 02:34:32,800 Speaker 5: trying to win a Super Bowl, Russell Wilson probably my 2789 02:34:32,920 --> 02:34:35,080 Speaker 5: last quarterback I would choose at this point in his career. 2790 02:34:35,520 --> 02:34:38,360 Speaker 5: But if I need a team to go seven and ten, 2791 02:34:38,840 --> 02:34:42,160 Speaker 5: eight nine, like the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, I mean 2792 02:34:43,280 --> 02:34:46,200 Speaker 5: they I think he was nine and three through twelve 2793 02:34:46,280 --> 02:34:48,160 Speaker 5: games or whatever, and the twelve games he played or 2794 02:34:48,160 --> 02:34:50,480 Speaker 5: whatever it was. Yeah, I think that they can win 2795 02:34:50,640 --> 02:34:55,400 Speaker 5: seventeen thirteen, seventeen fourteen with their defense. I say to myself, Jeff, 2796 02:34:55,760 --> 02:34:59,120 Speaker 5: I don't understand. If you look at that defense, I 2797 02:34:59,200 --> 02:35:01,879 Speaker 5: will be star if this is not a top ten defense, 2798 02:35:02,200 --> 02:35:04,240 Speaker 5: and I think it's even gonna be potentially top five. 2799 02:35:04,879 --> 02:35:07,000 Speaker 5: I don't know how you can have a defense line 2800 02:35:07,080 --> 02:35:10,640 Speaker 5: that great and not be legit good. I bet over 2801 02:35:10,720 --> 02:35:12,600 Speaker 5: four and a half wins. It's one of my favorite bets, 2802 02:35:13,879 --> 02:35:16,920 Speaker 5: and I actually did. Anthony gave me the idea, even 2803 02:35:16,959 --> 02:35:19,640 Speaker 5: though he didn't necessarily like it. But I bet the 2804 02:35:19,680 --> 02:35:21,760 Speaker 5: Eagles to come in first, Sians to come at second 2805 02:35:21,840 --> 02:35:26,920 Speaker 5: fifteen to one. I think the Washington and Dallas are 2806 02:35:26,959 --> 02:35:29,680 Speaker 5: both vulnerable, and I think the Giants are gonna win, 2807 02:35:29,920 --> 02:35:32,160 Speaker 5: believe it or not, seven eight nine games, and I 2808 02:35:32,200 --> 02:35:34,720 Speaker 5: think they can come in second place. And I think 2809 02:35:34,800 --> 02:35:37,320 Speaker 5: people are just not giving them enough credit that I 2810 02:35:37,480 --> 02:35:39,360 Speaker 5: just don't think they're bad, is what it is. I 2811 02:35:39,360 --> 02:35:42,320 Speaker 5: think they're more mediocre as opposed to the Saints. Have 2812 02:35:42,560 --> 02:35:45,760 Speaker 5: nothing to me. The Giants have an elite defense, and 2813 02:35:46,400 --> 02:35:47,960 Speaker 5: you ask how they're gonna win, Jeff, They're gonna have 2814 02:35:47,959 --> 02:35:50,120 Speaker 5: a quarterback that doesn't turn them all over, and they're 2815 02:35:50,120 --> 02:35:52,000 Speaker 5: gonna You're gonna be looking in the fourth quarter and 2816 02:35:52,120 --> 02:35:54,520 Speaker 5: be like, oh man, it's fourteen fourteen, I can't believe it. 2817 02:35:54,920 --> 02:35:57,320 Speaker 5: And you know they're gonna win maybe half those games 2818 02:35:57,360 --> 02:35:58,920 Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter. That's what I'm saying. 2819 02:36:00,040 --> 02:36:02,359 Speaker 1: We are. We are definitely opposite side to the Giants. 2820 02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:05,480 Speaker 1: I took a six to one worst record in football. 2821 02:36:06,320 --> 02:36:08,920 Speaker 1: I think there's I think they're going to combust super 2822 02:36:09,040 --> 02:36:11,600 Speaker 1: fast if it starts very slow. But they're not gonna 2823 02:36:11,600 --> 02:36:13,360 Speaker 1: stay with Russell Wilson very long if if they go 2824 02:36:13,480 --> 02:36:14,560 Speaker 1: oh Ford to start the season. 2825 02:36:15,680 --> 02:36:18,280 Speaker 5: But you know what, that's fine again and listen if 2826 02:36:18,360 --> 02:36:22,160 Speaker 5: that happens, and you certainly could be correct. But again, 2827 02:36:23,320 --> 02:36:25,360 Speaker 5: I want the team. I think their defense, I'm just curious. 2828 02:36:25,680 --> 02:36:27,960 Speaker 5: I think their defense is defense. 2829 02:36:28,320 --> 02:36:30,800 Speaker 1: So here's here's the thing about about about defense. So 2830 02:36:31,560 --> 02:36:33,080 Speaker 1: I was looking I was doing this for the Bears. 2831 02:36:34,959 --> 02:36:36,520 Speaker 1: The Bears went totally every day. I was looking up 2832 02:36:36,520 --> 02:36:38,560 Speaker 1: their defense. And the defense is really good in the 2833 02:36:38,600 --> 02:36:40,640 Speaker 1: first half of the season and got bad by the 2834 02:36:40,720 --> 02:36:43,200 Speaker 1: back half of the season. And the reason for that 2835 02:36:43,400 --> 02:36:46,600 Speaker 1: is is defense needs support from the offense to be good. 2836 02:36:46,840 --> 02:36:48,720 Speaker 1: Where the offense can be good no matter what, doesn't 2837 02:36:48,720 --> 02:36:51,800 Speaker 1: need support from the defense. And if the Giants, if 2838 02:36:51,840 --> 02:36:57,400 Speaker 1: the Giants offense, which again I question Russell Wilson's ability 2839 02:36:57,440 --> 02:36:59,000 Speaker 1: to pass the ball down the field. We saw it 2840 02:36:59,200 --> 02:37:01,040 Speaker 1: last week. It just is like dinking, dunk, dn and 2841 02:37:01,120 --> 02:37:04,960 Speaker 1: dunk didink and dunk. Their offensive line is fine with 2842 02:37:05,080 --> 02:37:08,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas back Lak Dabers, I think is really is 2843 02:37:08,320 --> 02:37:13,200 Speaker 1: really good. If the offense doesn't produce, then the defense 2844 02:37:13,400 --> 02:37:15,440 Speaker 1: just over the season gets worse. It's not because the 2845 02:37:15,480 --> 02:37:17,840 Speaker 1: defense is not is worse. They they're on the field longer, 2846 02:37:18,480 --> 02:37:20,320 Speaker 1: they're they're not able to rush the passer as much. 2847 02:37:20,400 --> 02:37:23,880 Speaker 1: They get a little demoralized emotionally. So if the Giants 2848 02:37:23,920 --> 02:37:28,360 Speaker 1: need keep up offensively, the Giants defense is fabulous. But 2849 02:37:28,560 --> 02:37:30,680 Speaker 1: that's so I'm going off the premise that I think 2850 02:37:30,680 --> 02:37:33,360 Speaker 1: there are I think Russell Wilson is cooked, essentially, I 2851 02:37:33,520 --> 02:37:36,000 Speaker 1: just don't trust him. And if Jackson dark comes and 2852 02:37:36,040 --> 02:37:38,360 Speaker 1: he's a rookie who we all agree needs a little 2853 02:37:38,360 --> 02:37:41,200 Speaker 1: bit of seasoning. So it look if they start off 2854 02:37:41,320 --> 02:37:43,720 Speaker 1: two and two, which would be shocking to me, like yeah, 2855 02:37:43,760 --> 02:37:46,720 Speaker 1: you're you're gonna be absolutely right. I'm gonna be wrong immediately. 2856 02:37:46,760 --> 02:37:48,720 Speaker 1: I'll know immediately if they're if my wager is going 2857 02:37:48,800 --> 02:37:51,360 Speaker 1: to be bad or not. I've under five and a 2858 02:37:51,360 --> 02:37:53,680 Speaker 1: half minutes too, Like, well, i'll know pretty quickly if 2859 02:37:53,720 --> 02:37:55,720 Speaker 1: they start owned four. I feel good if they could 2860 02:37:55,720 --> 02:38:00,520 Speaker 1: get upset early on. You know, you're you're probably looking right, Yeah, look, 2861 02:38:00,640 --> 02:38:02,440 Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta get going. 2862 02:38:02,760 --> 02:38:04,440 Speaker 5: Uh yeah, but I think they'll be able to keep 2863 02:38:04,480 --> 02:38:07,959 Speaker 5: these games close in the fourth quarter and again I well, 2864 02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:10,680 Speaker 5: Wilson is not a super Bowl quarterback. I think he's 2865 02:38:10,720 --> 02:38:12,840 Speaker 5: good enough to not be atrocious. That's all I'm saying. 2866 02:38:13,120 --> 02:38:15,959 Speaker 2: There, you go, all right, brother, good stuff, fat your debate, 2867 02:38:16,360 --> 02:38:20,160 Speaker 2: you guys.
