The biggest reveal 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.720 tonight on the NFL Network and ESPN schedule release party. 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:35.120 Probably won't be primetime matchups or playoff rematches. Now, those 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.239 will be fun to watch, but the real news is 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.640 how the schedule reveals the league's contingency plans. You got 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.960 a three hour show on ESPN and the NFL Network. 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.560 I don't know how much time they're going to vote 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.080 to this, but it's we talked about and I brought 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.879 it to your attention over a month ago. The schedule 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.720 makers were looking at the contingency plans of a twelve 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:02.560 game season. I know, contingency plan schedules doesn't sound exciting, 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.080 but it's pretty important here it's going to happen. I 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.240 think that You're going to probably see frontloaded schedules with 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.640 non conference games just in case the NFL starts this 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.760 season late. The games are always interesting, but they're less 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.600 impactful in the standings. And this is all unchartered territory. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.400 The NFL has kept saying they plan on a full season. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.840 Well they should, but they have a contingency plan. You 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.840 get the sense that they're working pretty hard on the alternatives, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.240 and maybe the schedules will reveal some of the bigger 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.679 clues of what they're thinking as they try to kick 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.480 off the twenty twenty season. Here are a couple of 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:43.280 notes that Mike Florio pointed out. For example, will the 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.080 schedule allow for the possibility of certain teams sharing stadiums? 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.440 You got the teams in California that might not be 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.760 able to host games. Therefore, if the California teams have 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.600 to go elsewhere, the Chargers could play in Phoenix. Let's 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.640 say Rams could play in Vegas, the Miners could go 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.600 to Denver. These are just contingency plans here, but I 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:09.519 think that these are real questions that they're trying to answer. Here. 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.399 You got teams who are going to need to have 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.000 home games on different weeks home games separated by one 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.160 or two more days. If you play a game on Sunday, 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.240 can you play a game there on Monday? Could you 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.000 play a game on Monday and a game on Thursday. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.160 These are things that are being discussed right now with 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.360 the NFL twelve games. If they start later, are you 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.040 going to have non conference games up front? Therefore, if 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.440 you lose those, it's okay. You want the division games. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.400 You want AFC versus AFC, NFC versus NFC, you want 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.040 that to still be part of the schedule. Just some 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.560 things to keep an eye on as we have the 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.640 scheduling party that comes up tonight, and there's always the 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.320 entertaining part of this of what's the first game. It's 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.519 on NBC. It's usually the Super Bowl winning team hosting 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.280 somebody and it's a marquee match up. And then there's 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.880 this Sunday night game as well on NBC. That's always 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.280 fun to try to handicap who's going to be playing 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.240 the Kansas City Chiefs. Will they play on Thursday night? 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.919 Will they play on Sunday night? If I said, if 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.600 we went around the room and I said, you could 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.960 pick the matchup, you won first game of the season, 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.600 and you know that the game is going to be played. See. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.600 And that's another thing. You might pick a game that 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.040 won't be played even though it should be played to 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.320 start the season. We might be a month later, and 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.520 therefore you pick up the schedule in week four or 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.400 week five. That's where it will be tricky. Yeah, playing. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.160 So you're saying we could pick any game from any 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.920 two teams to lead the NFL season off. That's the 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.880 rationale here, Well, we already know fun. I would rather 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.120 pick what could be reality. Can we do both? Well, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.720 we can, But that's like you don't you want to 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.440 come in tomorrow and say, hey, I told you that 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:56.760 was going to be the game that was going to 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.000 be played instead of here's a hypothetical that they don't 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.920 even play this year. Mclovin. Look at the Kansas City 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:09.200 Chiefs schedule and let's just say you were picking the 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.600 most entertaining game to start to see, I already know 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.000 what my matchup would be. Well, I think the Chiefs 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.000 have the ideals schedule. Anyway, I'm pulling it up now 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:23.960 because they play I believe they play yeah to c South. Yeah, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.640 so they have the Bucks are on there. Yeah, well, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.000 that's your matchup. No, that's your matchup. Well, they also 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.560 have the Ravens though, dare no, No, that's that's your matchup. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:37.240 Brady versus Mahomes. And you put the Buccaneers there with 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.160 Kansas City? Yeah, Seaton, don't you feel like there's some 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.640 way the Cowboys have to be in there? Though they 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.479 might be on a Sunday night, maybe Sunday night. You 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.880 know NBC is going to have Thursday and Sunday though 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.480 you'd be able to get you'd be able to cover 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.719 those fan bases, I think, but I'm not sure the 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.840 Cowboys schedule. But Kansas City versus Tampa Bay, right out 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.440 of the gate, that's spicy, YU total hypothetical. Let's say 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.200 you could do it. Wave your wand Dan, you run 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.080 NBC Sports. You could have the Kansas City Chiefs versus 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.400 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is your opening game, or the 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.720 Buccaneers versus the Patriots as your opening game. Hypothetical you 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.920 can pick. I would take the Buccaneers versus the Patriots. 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.440 That would be there's nothing bigger would be better than that. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.920 Right Hypothetically, it might not be a great game, but 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:28.160 it would be interesting and if you're just gonna have 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.600 the Brady Belichick aspect, Gronk back. How healthy is he 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.880 going to be? But that's hypothetical. They don't play this year. Yeah, McLevin, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.960 you don't feel the Lamar Jackson Patrick Mahomes showdown. That 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.760 would be fun too. It just it will be. I 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.039 just want to make sure that I got Brady and 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.800 Gronk still healthy to be able to play in a game. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.320 I don't want to go. Let's wait till week eight. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.280 I mean, yeah, it sounds great to have that build 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.560 up to something like that, but I'd rather get that 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.760 right out of the game. Probably won't happen, but that's 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.359 what I would want. Yeah, mc cleven, dope, Fox and 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.559 CBS try to protect a couple of games, So aren't 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.240 they going to go after that Brady Chiefs game too? Yeah? 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.680 I don't know how that works. The inner workings of 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.960 the networks and you protect and how many games you 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:17.240 can protect. I don't think you can protect the first weekend. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.200 I think that that's the NFL's way of saying to 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:26.200 NBC Football Night in America, Sunday Night Football, Hey, your 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.200 guys are the best at what you do. We give 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.800 you these Marquee games. Yeah, PAULI here's another one that 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.320 I have the Tampa schedule this year, not who they play, 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.240 not when Green Bay at Tampa. For your homeworker, I 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.680 like that. That's saucy, yea. I like that just because 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.920 of the whole Rodgers thing. Rogers could be in a situation, 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:49.360 just like Tom Brady was with the Patriots. There who else? 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.800 Any other games there that are Tampa. Tampa's got the Rams, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.200 They've got the Saints a couple of times, of course, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:59.120 you know, all right, so give me the Chiefs they have, 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.720 they got Saints, they got Tampa Bay, they got the Ravens. 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.880 The Cowboys and Chiefs don't play, do they, because that 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.360 would be that's the way you'll open up the season. Yeah, McLevin, 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.680 they have let's see the Texans, the Raiders, the Jets, 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.440 the Bills, Bills, they're a hot team. Charging No, no, no, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.640 you're not, oh Dolphins, Dolphins anyway. Yeah, I mean, you 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.520 don't think the will the rookies all be ready to 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.920 play by then? I doubt it. Maybe Borrow. We don't 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.440 even know when they get into camp. We have we 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.200 have no idea. I know, we have a lot of 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.400 speculation the possibility. I don't know if you have players 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.920 in camp by July August. I mean they're they're going 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.160 ahead with the Hall of Fame game, with the preseason game. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.760 I think that's a little aggressive. I think the season's 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.239 going to be delayed. I do. I think the NFL 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.840 is going to hold out hope that they when they start, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.360 they can have fans go to the games. I think 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.320 that that would be the reason for the delay. I 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.240 think that they'll still be playing football. You know, is 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.080 college football gonna be delayed? I think so. Now the 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.320 other interesting part, We're gonna talk to Kirk Ferns, the 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.560 Ayway head coach, and I think he's bringing his players 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.280 back June first, at least that's the last thing I saw. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.360 So we'll talk to the Ioway head coach. What if 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.160 the season is delayed, and Chris Bowler brought this up 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.800 a couple of weeks ago, what if they are playing 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.120 in this spring? What if college football has to wait 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:36.880 until January February to start. Well, if I'm Trevor Lawrence, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.680 see you, I'm not going out there in this spring. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.880 You know, you start on time, you play, Okay, But 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.520 now all of a sudden, I'm gonna be playing in 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.520 February or March. I don't know. I think you're gonna 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.480 have some some first round talent say they're gonna treat 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.400 it like a bowl game and say no, and I 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.199 don't think so. They're gonna they're gonna boasta it. Yeah, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.840 I mcleban. Won't that help my bet with you about 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.520 going there? Will? Look, I don't even know what the 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.400 odds are because they're not in my favor of Trevor 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.440 Lawrence and somebody going above Trevor Lawrence. I don't know 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.240 what Vegas's odds are, probably not not anywhere near in 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.520 my favor. But that's okay. I made the bet a 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.480 couple of years ago. Yes, but we know how this 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.120 works out. It never works out the way it's supposed to, never, 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.440 never ever, except once with Andrew Luck. Yes, Bully, how 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.080 about this one? Okay, I'm gonna throw you a little 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.280 hypothetical at the opening game. And why are you dealing 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.880 with hypotheticals? Reality sucks? Sucks. I don't even know. I 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.760 love reality? Oh all reality? Really? Oh my bad? I'm 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.600 just like wow, brought in Tony reality at the opening 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.080 game of the NFL season. To be honest, were Brady 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.960 versus Mahomes or and then they're Bowl starting the Miami 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.839 Dolphins versus the Bengals, two of versus Joe Burrow. You 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.880 go and pick to watch one, and it's an entirety. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.240 Be honest, I would take Brady and Mahome because I 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.040 don't know what to expect out of Joe Burrow and TWA. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.600 I know what to expect out of Brady and Mahomes, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.160 and I put the gronk element in there. I have 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.240 no idea if Burrow and two are going to be successful. 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.800 I know Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are successful. I 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.280 at least get good quality quarterback play there. I also 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.040 was told by a source last night, He's like, you know, 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.600 everybody loves Joe Burrow. He had a wonderful season, greatest 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:33.920 season a quarterback has ever had. But Jordan Love might 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.120 actually have an opportunity for more success than Joe Burrow. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.600 And I went, all right, I'm listening. He said, Joe 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.800 Burrow's going to the Bengals. Now the organization are they 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.880 going to surround him? Do they have people in place 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.560 who are going to be able to draft sign free agent? 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.800 When's the last time the Bengals had a big time 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:58.679 free agent sign with them. Is never the correct answer there, 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:03.000 get they go one. Whereas Jordan Love, let's say in 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.240 three years from now, he's sat there at the feet 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.000 of Aaron Rodgers and he goes to the Packers with 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.120 an established front office there, does he have a better 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.240 chance of succeeding. Go back to what I've said about 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:24.240 Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson. If they went to 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.679 teams that were worse, they would not be who they are. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.280 They would still be talented. Mahomes would be a lot 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.640 of fun. If Mahomes was on Jacksonville, We're not talking 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.800 about Patrick Mahomes the way we talk about him in 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.800 Kansas City. He went there with an established coach, underrated 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.280 offensive coordinator, and as good at skilled position players as 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.280 anybody in the league. Deshaun Watson goes to Houston, He's 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.880 got skilled position players. He had DeAndre Hopkins there, he 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.800 had a formidable defense there. Granted he was saddled with 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.600 Bill O'Brien, but he's still had more success because the 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.079 team is ready to go. Jordan Love might be in 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.839 a situation like that. Yeah, is this the same Jordan 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.280 Love that went to the same Packers who we just 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.640 spent the last week. You're killing for because they don't 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.520 draft anybody to help their quarterback. Well, they do draft players, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.400 but they just don't draft anybody that helps the quarterback. Well, okay, 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:23.200 but Aaron Rodgers is the most talented quarterback of all time. 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.520 I'm told, therefore, you don't need any weapons. Right, and 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.199 so Jordan Love hopefully is going to be better than that. Well, 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.360 he's gonna be other than the most talented quarterback of 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.600 all time. No, no, he's not going to be as good. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.199 Therefore they have to get him some weapons. Therefore, he 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.880 has a chance to succeed. Hey, and that's why he's 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.000 in a better situation. Yes, yes, yes, yes, Hey blame 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.960 my source here, Blame him, not me, Yes, Paul. So 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.080 you're saying, all these years the Packers have not taken 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.679 a first round wide receiver, was a compliment to Aaron Rodgers. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:53.920 You think we think you're so good you don't need help. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.679 The same with Tom Brady here it is. And so 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.000 then when they Jordan Love gets in there and they 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.000 draft the first round wide receiver, he's gonna be like 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.360 you don't think I'm gonna get it now. That'll be 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.680 like undisputed or first take Oh Packers send a message. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.559 They took a wide receiver. Jordan Love not as good 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:14.800 as we thought. Question Mark no Love. Question mark. This 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.200 program brought to you by one eight hundred Flowers. Mother's Day? 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.240 Is this Sunday?

Click on 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.199 the radio icon, enter code Patrick. You are good to go. 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:38.120 All right, So the scheduling party, are you guys gonna 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.480 Is this a big deal with you guys? Because I'm 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.480 the teams are already going to release their schedules. All 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.239 I want to know is what are the Thanksgiving Day games? 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.400 The season opener? What's gonna be the front end or 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.880 back end of the schedule? Are you going to be 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.280 looking at games where teams could be playing in another stadium? 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.560 That's what I'm curious about. For the most part, we 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.880 know who you're playing, we don't know when you're playing them. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.560 Do you have maybe a situation where three out of 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.160 four games are on the road, you know, That's what 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.559 I'm curious about. Yeah, pulling. I kind of watch a 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.200 schedule release for work, but as a fan, I'm watching 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:21.080 every single game anyway. Truly, I watch every single NFL game, 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.680 whether it's Red Zone or Monday night, Sunday night. I 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.480 guess the schedule doesn't really matter. I'm gonna take a 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.520 peek at it, but we watch them all. Yeah, it's 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.160 fun to debate here what should be, But that's about it. Yeah, 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.440 I think I won't watch the whole thing because I'll 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.440 just take the cliff notes version and we discuss it tomorrow. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.040 But as far as waiting for a big reveal, the 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.720 big reveal would be the first weekend, and I guess Thanksgiving. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.160 You know the lines are going to be there, the 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.160 cowboys are going to be there. Who they're going to play? Yeah, mickleven, 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.840 I mean the seven thirty Twitter releases. Teams are going 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.920 at seven thirty. That'll be more interesting. I hate to 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.360 say it, but it's hard to watch. Have you watched 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.040 that show before? It's kind of hard. Now I've watched it, 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.600 and it's just I can't sit there and watch three 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.440 hours of it. I like the discussion. I like that 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.520 somebody is gonna jump on something and say, oh, look 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:19.440 at this. This team plays these games on the road. Hey, 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.880 this team has back to back games against these two teams. Now, 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:27.040 that's what I'm curious about. One other thing, Johnny Unitis. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.760 This would have been his birthday to day. I don't 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.280 know how old Johnny. He was born in nineteen thirty three. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.320 And we forget about Johnny Unitas because and we shouldn't. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.720 He created the two minute drill. First quarterback to throw 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.280 for more than forty thousand passing yards, first quarterback to 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.920 ever have thirty or more touchdowns in a season. And 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:49.800 the reason why I want to bring this up is 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:54.360 he had a forty seven consecutive game streak of throwing 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.720 at least one touchdown nineteen fifty six to nineteen sixty. Now, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.880 that record was eventually broken in twenty thirteen by Drew Brees, 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.840 and I thought, okay, completely different NFL now than it 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.560 was when Johnny Unitis was the quarterback and I had 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.600 statsinco back and I said, give me the average number 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.680 of passes that Unitis attempted during this streak, and that 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:23.200 Drew Brees did. Unitis attempted twenty seven passes per game 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.200 back then, which was a lot. Drew Brees during his 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:31.600 streak thirty nine twelve more passing attempts in a style 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.760 that allows more freedom for the wide receivers to be 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.000 able to get down the field. Johnny Unitis, if you 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.360 can be underrated, is underrated because we're gonna look at 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.760 these numbers and they're going to seem pedestrian. But Johnny 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:50.000 Unitis and Raymond Barry like that was different. It just 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.440 it was a three yards in a cloud of dust 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.040 back then in the NFL. But you know, the Colts 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.000 had a lot of talent there. But Unitis to Raymond Barry, 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.120 he created the two minute drill. And there was a 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:08.560 guy who wasn't even drafted. But Johnny you was born 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.760 today in nineteen thirty three. Yeah, point, I found two 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.280 little tidbits about Johnny Unitis. He wanted to play for 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.679 Notre Dame, grew up a Notre Dame fan. He walked 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.320 on the team and frankly, he said he's too skinny 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:19.840 and he would get murdered out on the field, And 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.040 so he left the program and he went to the 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.760 University of Louisville. He was drafted I think in the 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.399 ninth round. He was Pittsburgh Steelers and he was the 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.679 odd man out among four quarterbacks and they cut him 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.439 without giving any practice stamps, according to the story. And 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.560 he went to the Baltimore Coles. Yeah. For some reason 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.960 I thought that he was not drafted. Wow, but went 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:40.960 to the Colts as a free agent. He was playing 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:46.120 semi pro football in Bloomfield. Was he in Pittsburgh when 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:50.119 he was Yeah? And then he tried out further. It 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.480 was a last minute tryout he got through a friend 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:57.280 with the Baltimore Coles. Pretty incredible. McLevin, which pool question? Today, 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.280 we're gonna talk to Pat forty, by the way, talk 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.440 some college football, because I don't know where we are 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.040 right now with college football. I can honestly say I 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.280 don't and I don't think college football knows where college 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.040 football is. But you have coaches who are saying things. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.760 James Franklin at Penn State said, Hey, we're planning on 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.760 plan even if there are schools like you know, he 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.760 didn't say, like Northwestern that can't play. You know, imagine 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:27.040 this with Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt, you know they're about education first, 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.800 then their football team. If they can't open up on time, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.560 does anybody in the SEC say, hey, wait a minute, 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:38.040 let's wait for Vanderbilt here. I don't know what these 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.560 conferences are going to do. I get the feeling the 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.320 SEC is going to play football, and if you can 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.119 open your school, great, If you can't, we're still going 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.280 to play football. It feels like. But we'll talk to 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.560 Kirk Ference, the Eyeway head coach, but Pat Forty will 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.600 join us coming up here in a couple of minutes. 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.679 What do you have, mclovin, Well, we could do the 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.879 what game do you want to see? You sound like 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.880 there's dead set on Mahomes versus Brady, which is pretty good, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.720 But we could tah and Burrow do play. If Tua 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.080 was going to play the Dolphins of Bengals face off. 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.439 You do have Lamar Jackson versus Mahomes, and you have 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.440 Breese versus Brady. I think anybody will vote for anything 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.160 other I think you're right. I think it's Bradys Moomes. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.320 But well, well, Breese and Brady, you can't do that 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.719 to start because you may lose that game. You have 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:24.640 to have dispensable games that are still entertaining. But if 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.399 you have to lop off four games. You're gonna do 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.840 that first month, and therefore you don't want to You 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:36.200 can't do the inner division interconference games. You can't lose those. Yeah, 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.640 but based on that, don't you save Brady versus Malomes? 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.159 I would, But you know, I know this game is 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.840 going to happen. The question is when do you want 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.840 it to happen? If you're the NFL. That that's what's 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:52.560 intriguing to me tonight, because you can't go on second thought, Hey, 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.639 we're going to move that game back to Christmas or 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.399 something like you. Once you put it in place, that's it. 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.879 Twenty one after the hour, phone calls coming up. Got 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.720 our poll question.

He's got 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.760 that T shirt on with Sun's Out, Guns Out. We've 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.000 got those T shirts. But the other T shirt it 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.520 could be Tom Brady related or could is there another 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.280 guy named Tom on the Buccaneers, Paul, could you check 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.480 probably in the in the organization somewhere in the back 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.960 of Maybe it's just a tribute T shirt to that guy. 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.440 And then on the back of that his first name 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:04.040 is Tom. I think it's we appreciate your enthusiasm. Also 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.000 from the season assist our Season assist letter that we got, 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.840 Pat forty Sports Illustrated senior writer looking good joining us 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:15.760 on the program. Pat, good morning. How's morale? Hanging in there? Dan, 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.080 hanging in there? You know, Groundhog Day over and over. 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.320 If my hair grows any longer, I'm going to be 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.320 an honorary Allman Brother here pretty soon. But we're making 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:28.919 it all right. Simple question, who runs college football? The 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:33.480 oligarchy of the Power five conference commissioners, So basically, a 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:37.399 group of five guys runs the sport. There's nobody at 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:41.840 the NCAA that seriously matters, and you can decide out 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.960 to those five who the most important are probably Greg 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:48.320 Sankey of the SEC and Kevin Warren of the Big 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.960 Ten and Kevin Warren's brand new What role does ESPN 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.520 play in all of this? Oh, they certainly have a role, 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.879 no doubt about it, a big role, you know. I 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.959 think that they helped kind of push towards the creation 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.760 of the playoff, and they will no doubt have a 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.879 say in what happens this season if we have a season. 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:08.760
