Speaker 2: over ten thousand recommended installers, tire iraq dot com The

00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. I was thinking about this, Monci,

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: and this is the problem with the football season. If

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: you look at the college football schedule, we're already halfway

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: through the season. In other words, teams are already playing

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: their six seventh games in a twelve game schedule. Then

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: you got the conference championship games, and then of course

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: we get the playoffs and the bowl games. But we're

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: already halfway through the college football season. I'm boomed already.

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 3: I think I've jinxed myself. Sorry, I just told you

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: that I hadn't sneezed since these wins started picking up,

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: and I've just sneezed twice as you were talking. So

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: this is going great.

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: Now, let's just stop for a second here, because I

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: think that is a backhanded shot at me.

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: What do you mean?

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: Well, you said I haven't sneezed in hours, and then

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: in d shit down in days, you sit across from

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: me as we waited for Alex and Carmen to finish

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: their show, you sneezed. And now we're in the studio

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: and you sneezed. You see where I'm going.

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: I allergic to you. I'm I allergic to your.

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: C I'm just asking you to say, it's been days

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: since you sneeze, and now suddenly you're sneeze into my press.

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 3: Well listen, I will say, walking just from the parking

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: lot inside, it was so windy, that's why it's it's

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: been bad like for forty eight hours. But yes, no,

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: maybe you do have a little bit something to do

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: with it. We'll see, we'll see how this goes. But

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: it is crazy to think that we are halfway through

37
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: the college football season when in the NFL it still

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: feels so early on right it is, I mean, we

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: got to go with the Yeah, it's just crazy. But

40
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: here we are a lot of game still.

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: Oh, a lot of good games.

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: A lot of good games, all right.

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: So I'm looking right now Alabama and Tennessee. This game

44
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: has been an offensive struggle for both these schools. It's

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: seven to nothing Alabama and we are into the third

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: quarter of that game, so keep an eye on that.

47
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: And of course the big game coming up, we're gonna

48
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: have Georgia taking on Texas. And you know, these are

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: the kind of games that used to be a deal

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: breaker in terms of the playoffs, like, you lose this game,

51
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: kissing goodbye, you're not gonna have a chance to win

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: the national championship. And that is not the case anymore.

53
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: It is very conceivable that we are going to get

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: at large teams. They're going to have two losses, either

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: out of the SEC or out of the Big ten

56
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: most likely. Because I keep looking in trying to project

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: where we're going to be with you know, the five

58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: conference champions being the top five season, then seven at

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: large teams. I know they're going to be desperate to

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: try to get an at large team out of the

61
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: Big twelve or an at large team out of the ACC.

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: But the reality is most likely five of the seven

63
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: are going to come out of the SEC and the

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: Big Ten.

65
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: And you don't think any team will have three losses.

66
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: Oh I'm not going to say that either. It depends.

67
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: It depends. I mean, if I'm not.

68
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: Curious to see what comes out of this first year.

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: Let's say you get into the conference championship game with

70
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: three losses, or let's say you're going with two losses

71
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: and you lose a narrow game. They have a lot

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: of wiggle room now when you've got seven at large teams.

73
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: The argument about, you know, this was the problem from

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: the get go when you had a four school playoff,

75
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: when you have five power conferences, so automatically, every single year,

76
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: one of the power conferences was going to get left out,

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: and nothing made sense about that. It was a made

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: for TV ESPN event, that's all it was. It really

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: gave Clemson a rise. That was the school that benefited

80
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: the most that four school playoff. This is a whole

81
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: different dynamic. So yeah, I mean, you the arguing about

82
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: this three locks team getting in over a one loss

83
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: team that you know, right now one of the big

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: stories in college football Army and Navy. You know, Army

85
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: won again today winning and Navy's winning. I mean, can

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: you imagine, because remember this, you go through the entire

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: college football season and then you got the conference championship games, right,

88
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: and then the following week is when they announced the

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy on that Saturday, and there's only one game

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: left on the schedule, one Army Navy. What if that's

91
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: a battle of what beat's feat You know what a

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: chance to get into the playoffs? How crazy would that be?

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: That would be really fun?

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it. I had a chance to go

95
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: to the Army Navy game one time when it was

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: in Washington, DC. It was where I got my infamous

97
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: pictures shaking President Obama's hand at the game on the

98
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: sideline he was the president. Vice President Biden was there.

99
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: Was the first and only time, you know, it was

100
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: at the then Redskins Stadium that the game has ever

101
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: been held there. Normally it's in Philadelphia obviously all these years.

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: But being down on that field, it was freezing. It

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: was cold, but I wanted to take in the whole. Yeah,

104
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: you know, all of the pageantry and everything. Army totally

105
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: worth it. It was phenomenal.

106
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: You have to good for you.

107
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: It was phenomenal. So we got a lot of college

108
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: football we're going to get to today. We also got

109
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: a lot of NFL football. Adam Kaplan, our NFL Insider,

110
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: is going to be Johnny Us coming up here in

111
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: about ten minutes, and I'm going to lead with the Jets.

112
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: I knew it.

113
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: I mean I have to.

114
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what you do.

115
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that was a winnable game against the Bills.

116
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 3: Yes it was, Yes, it was. I mean they've had

117
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: plenty of winnable games, exactly, No one, it's it's not one.

118
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: It's just they have been a disappointment.

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: And it was Aaron Rodgers' best game.

120
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: It was.

121
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: It was almost three hundred yards passing, but in the

122
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: end they could not lose, and they finally get this

123
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: Divine to Adams deal done.

124
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, finally can play for my fantasy team. Thank you

125
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: so much. Davante.

126
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: Isn't an amazing recovered from that injury?

127
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: I thought, Yeah, all of a sudden, he's good to go.

128
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: God, I think, did you see the interview he did

129
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: with the Pat McAfee, right, and so he had Aaron

130
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: Rodgers on and then all of a sudden, here comes

131
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams into the picture and he almost said something

132
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: along the lines of I want to thank the Raider

133
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 2: Organization for honoring my injury.

134
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 4: What was that?

135
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: What did you say? Don't admit it? We know, but

136
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: don't admit it.

137
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Come on now, DeVante, I think he is fully recovered

138
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: from that injury Game one with the Jets. But we'll

139
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: have plenty to talk about with Adam. I also want

140
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: to get in some baseball. Do we have to well

141
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: forst second here, okay, because we're not going to talk

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: much baseball obviously on a football Saturday, but we are

143
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: in the league Championships series. The Yankee Guardians game last

144
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: night was a dynamic idea. It was Guardians came back,

145
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: they tied it, and then the Yankees win it. They're

146
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: at three to one obviously tonight Yankees looking to wrap

147
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: it up. By the way, Yankees have not been a

148
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: World Series in fifteen years.

149
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds kind of crazy because it is the Yankees,

150
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: but time flies, and then when you realize what year

151
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: it is, you're like, oh, yeah, it has been that long.

152
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: It has been fit has been that long. So they

153
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: won the World Series back in two thousand and nine.

154
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: And then, of course, the team that Monci is so

155
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: connected to and obviously a team I have followed since.

156
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: I'll put it this way, my first Dodger game I

157
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: saw was before man walked on the moon. So that's

158
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: that's how far Sandy Kofax was pitching for the Dodgers.

159
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: I was eight years old.

160
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: And only the one and only, one and only.

161
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 2: But the Dodgers up three to one on the Mets,

162
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: and then yesterday was a It had the feeling of

163
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: a throwawaya It really did.

164
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: And what was worse about it was that the Dodgers

165
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: kept scoring, so it wasn't like they were shut out.

166
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: It wasn't like they kept scoring, so it was like,

167
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: did you punt the game too early? What happened here?

168
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Again?

169
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. I would never want to be a manager.

170
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: We have seen Dave Roberts literally put on a masterclass

171
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: when it comes to the bullpen and how we've won games.

172
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: But it really did feel like he threw in the

173
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: towel early and was just going through the motions, but

174
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: like the message wasn't received across the entire dugout because

175
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 3: the Dodgers were still scoring. It was nuts.

176
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: Look, most people say, Okay, he got two games to

177
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: win one and that should be easy, right. Tell that

178
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: to the Phillies Last year in the National League Championships Series,

179
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: they were up three to two, went back to Philly

180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: and lost two games of the Diamondbacks and watched the

181
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: World Series at home, Dodgers going bullpen did this is

182
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: a repeat of game too, Sean, and I has been

183
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: the hottest pitcher for the Mets going against the Dodger bullpen.

184
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: How that working Game two, I was offered a chance

185
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: to go to that game. I'm glad I opted out

186
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: of that debacle. And if the Dodgers do go to

187
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: a Game seven, you.

188
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: Throw all logic out the window on the Game seven.

189
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: Do you realize that in recent years, I believe, since

190
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: I don't know a wild card or something, home teams

191
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: have lost more games than they have won in Game seven.

192
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: Baseball doesn't have that same to me, all not the

193
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: same event. I know you're batting last, which is an

194
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: advantage I do believe, but for some reason it hasn't

195
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: worked in the postseason. So I'm you know most people

196
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: I'm talking to, and I'm gonna probably the same answer

197
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: for you. Yeah, yeah, you have two chances to win

198
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: if you're the Dodgers, but you want to win Game six.

199
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: Of course, the pressure for Game seven would be way

200
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: too much and you just really don't know what's gonna happen.

201
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: You have to take advantage immediately if you can in

202
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: Game six, and it's not gonna be easy. It will

203
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: not be easy. There's always the fear. Our bullpen has

204
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: been so so good that I don't know if I'm

205
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 3: being a little bit pessimistic on this situation, but it's

206
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: like the bullpen, what if they have this is their

207
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 3: one bad game, you know, like it's just in it's

208
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't like it. I'm nervous.

209
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: They have to win Game six.

210
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: All right, So we will get back to football talk

Speaker 2: Radio NFL insider Adam Kaplan and Adam It's become a habit,

231
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna stay with it. We're gonna start

232
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 2: with the Jets. I mean, we have to. I mean,

233
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: it's it just goes on and on and on. A

234
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: winnable game against the Bills. It was a winnable game

235
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 2: against the Bills, and yeah, well the win obviously was

236
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: a problem for a lot of guys, Greg the leg

237
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: it didn't help them in that game. But I mean,

238
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: but they've had a number of winnable games, so I

239
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: get I still get the hooplaw, I still get the

240
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: support for those that you know, think that the Jets

241
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: could get on a run and now they finally make

242
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: the DeVante Adams acquisition, and they're gonna get their debut

243
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: on the road against the Steelers, obviously one of the

244
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: better defenses, a defensive front that puts a lot of

245
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,119
Speaker 2: pressure on the quarterback. Jets offensive line is still suspect

246
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 2: to be generous. So give us your sense of exactly

247
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: what impact Devonte Adams has on that Jets offense. Maybe

248
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: the demeanor of Aaron Rodgers and it will be Will

249
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: it be enough to turn the season around for the Jets?

250
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: Boy, let me give you the cliff notes version. So

251
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 4: I talked to someone with the Jets. I'm gonna say

252
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: three days ago, and it's more kind of like Rogers

253
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 4: and Adams getting together, and how like they're they're close

254
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: to being where they think they could be. I don't

255
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: necessarily agree with that. I'm with you, Steve. On their

256
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 4: offensive line, they went with two veterans. Tyron Smith is

257
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 4: near the end of his career. They're okay inside it

258
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: is it better than it was? Yes, but it's still

259
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 4: not good enough. I think he nailed at Steve. If

260
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: you want to look at their number one issue with

261
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 4: personnel on offense, it's their line. They wanted a true

262
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 4: number one X receiver Mike Williams did not work out.

263
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: Mike Williams coming back from the ACL injuries on a

264
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: one year deal a lot of money by the way

265
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 4: he's making on a one year deal. That's why they're

266
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: trying to move him. I mean, everyone in the league

267
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: knows is they're trying to feverishly move Mike Williams. They might,

268
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: they still have two and a half weeks to do so.

269
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: But Allen's art has been a great story, but you

270
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: don't want him as a starting NFL receiver. That's not

271
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 4: what you're looking for. And they wanted an upgrading Adams

272
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: and they're hoping to take a run here. But I'm

273
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: gonna give you something else. This is something just to

274
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: keep an eye on. You mentioned Aaron Rodgers, and I'm

275
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: not blaming him for this, but there's something missing with

276
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 4: his football team. I know their defense isn't equite as

277
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 4: good as they thought it would be. It's not bad,

278
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: it's good, but it's they're not getting turnovers and sack

279
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 4: numbers are down. Whether it's a culture issue, there's just

280
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 4: something missing with his football team. I can't put my

281
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: finger on it. Like you said, Steve could they go

282
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 4: on a run. Absolutely, it's not a great division. They

283
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: still could absolutely win the division. But they're facing a

284
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 4: team at Pittsburgh tomorrow night who's gonna have a different

285
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 4: quarterback than they faced or they've seen on tape. It's

286
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: gonna be Russell Wilson hasn't played yet and we'll see

287
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 4: how that works out. But there is something missing from

288
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 4: this team. There's no question. It's not just getting Devantie Adams.

289
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: So they should be better than they are, and they're

290
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: certainly not at.

291
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: Of One of the big games tomorrow will be Lions

292
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: Vikings early slate of games Vikings, is this a prove

293
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: it game? Because I feel like some people starranting them seriously,

294
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: but in reality, they haven't trailed in a game since

295
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: Week one.

296
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: It's incredible.

297
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: And then the Lions, Jared Goff has been crazy the

298
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: last two games. Is it a prove it game for

299
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: the Vikings?

300
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: That's a fair one, MANCI, but I would add this

301
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: though they're coming off thereby, they're going to face a

302
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: team and the Lions are missing their best player. Yes,

303
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: I said, Aiden Hutchinson is their best player. It's going

304
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: to look different. They didn't have a good pass rush

305
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: other than him, it's going to be a problem. They've

306
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: they've Dan Campbell is not denied. They're looking for a

307
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: pas rusher. Good luck finding a great path rusher. So

308
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: what they're going to do is what other teams do

309
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: when they're when they're trying to make a run. They're

310
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: going to go after those teams that of are clearly

311
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: not playing for anything, and they're going to try to

312
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: go get an et rusher or maybe even two. They

313
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: really need too, to be honest with you, they need

314
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: to one. Even with Hutchinsonnell they need too. So that's

315
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: what's going to happen. Their offense is going to have

316
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: to carry them. And you know, they're the only team

317
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 4: in the NFL is average who were thirty points per game,

318
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: by the way, which is kind of tells you where

319
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 4: the state of the league is.

320
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 5: All.

321
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 4: The scoring has been way up the last two weeks,

322
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: which typically happens. There's usual an adjustment. But yeah, I

323
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: would say the litmus tests. Yeah, for Sam Donald, who

324
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 4: did not play well in the London game, they were

325
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 4: able to win. He's got to play well. I think

326
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 4: this is actually it's not Monte so much the team.

327
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: It's work for Sam Donald. Defensively, they're not very talented,

328
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 4: but Brian Flour has done the best job of any

329
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: defense coordinator. What's interesting is, right the best offensive mine

330
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 4: in football right now is Ben Johnson and Brian Floor

331
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: is the best defensive mine in football, and they're going

332
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 4: against each other. That's going to be a great one.

333
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure the Lions, instead of playing the Vikings,

334
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: will like another shot at the Cowboys after that beat down.

335
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: All right, So the Cowboys the bye week. This is

336
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: a team that had won sixteen straight home games until

337
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: that playoff loss to Green Bay. If you include that game,

338
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: that's three straight home losses. And Jerry Jones was very

339
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: animated after the game about Mike McCarthy not going one

340
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: on his own radio show, ripped into the you know

341
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: guys hosting the show. By the way, I'll applaud those

342
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: guys for not backing down. But when Jerry Jones is saying,

343
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: you know, you guys can be replaced, I mean you

344
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: know that he's on edge. So what is going on

345
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: during this bye week right now? What are the discussions

346
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: like behind closed doors as the Cowboys now come out

347
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: of the by just trying to salvage their season.

348
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. Actually, if you go to the back to the

349
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: playoff game where they got blown out at home, it's

350
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: actually four straight losses. They're wing three at home this year.

351
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 4: They've given up over those four games a league worst

352
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 4: one and sixty seven points. Are giving up nearly forty

353
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: two points per game over those four games. How does

354
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 4: that happen? I've been to that stadium eighteen inte It's

355
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: too big. It's really not a home field advantage. It's

356
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 4: oddly constructed. What are they trying to do? Well, they

357
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: got to fix their defense. Mike Zimmer comes zim was

358
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: not retiring, but a lot of people thought he was

359
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 4: kind of done, you know, well into his sixties. Now

360
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: he's going through a lot off the field. You know,

361
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: I feel for Mike. It's been a tough, tough go

362
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: of it after he got fired in Minnesota. They're down

363
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 4: three edge rushers. There's nothing they can do about that.

364
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: We have to talk about that. That's part of it.

365
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 4: They're not running the ball well. You know, this is

366
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 4: another problem with Jerry Jones, the owner, having personnel control.

367
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: Who in the world thought Rico Dawdlells is starting running

368
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 4: back Zico Elliot's I know he's really upset he's not

369
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 4: getting the ball. It's just ridiculous. You didn't have to

370
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: spend ten million a year on a running back, but

371
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: why didn't you get a quality starting running back? They

372
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 4: didn't do that. Brandon Cooks, by the way, their number

373
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 4: two receivers and ir that's certainly a problem. But their

374
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: biggest issue really is I know that they were terrible

375
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: before the buy against the Lions, only scoring nine points,

376
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 4: which you can that can't happen in a blowout. You

377
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: got to be able to be able to get a touchdown.

378
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: But guys, they got major issues on defense and they're

379
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 4: not going to get fixed now. Hopefully Michael Parkson will

380
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: be back from his high ankle spraining after the buye,

381
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: but they got Steve. They got problems really on defense.

382
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 4: I don't know that they're going to be able to

383
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 4: get fixed here. Not So they're going to come out

384
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 4: in the from the by try to get things done

385
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 4: on that side of the football.

386
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: Adam, let's go to a Monday night a doubleheader, Big

387
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 3: one Ravens Buccaneers. Finish this sentence for me. The Buccaneers

388
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: pull off the upset if they.

389
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 4: Throw the ball, well, they're going to have to. You're

390
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: not going to be able to run against Baltimore and

391
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: you got to throw the football. They do it really well.

392
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 4: The Baker Mayfield, I know it's early. He's the running

393
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 4: He's certainly in the run for MVP. He's been phenomenal

394
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 4: now and now. The thing is, though, the one thing

395
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: I do like is Sean Tucker, who was an undrafted

396
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: free agent last year out of Syracuse for Tampa. He

397
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: didn't play really a lot last or actually barely. He

398
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 4: had pretty certificant metal condition, which is behind him. He

399
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 4: looked awesome against in New Orleans. They're going to get

400
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 4: him involved now. It's going to be harder to run

401
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: against Baltimore. But after this game, he's he's got to

402
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: be featured. I mean, he is probably the best running

403
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 4: back and they got to get him going a little bit.

404
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 4: Their offensive lines are not great, but it's been efficient enough.

405
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 4: This is a great test for them at home, no question,

406
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 4: but it'll be warm for Baltimore. It's be a little

407
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 4: of adjustment for Baltimore playing in this type of weather.

408
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 4: Right now, it's a great matchup and for those people

409
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 4: thought Baltimore finished what's wrong with them at oh and two,

410
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: they're on an absolute role. Quite frankly, I don't know

411
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: if there's any team right now playing better football than

412
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: the Ravens.

413
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I think the Ravens right now

414
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: are the best team in the NFL, but best record

415
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: belongs to the Vikings. We talked about that and also

416
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs, who are doing it

417
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: mainly with their defense. And we've gone over these Mahomes

418
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: numbers seemingly weekly now the last ten regular season games,

419
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: twelve touchdowns, eleven picks, pedestrian at best. Now they're on

420
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: the road against the forty nine Ers in the Super

421
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: Bowl rematch. The forty nine Ers have had a lot

422
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: of injuries, some inconsistencies offensively as well. To me, there's

423
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: a tough read on this game because the Chiefs have

424
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: not looked like a team that should be sitting at

425
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: top with the none defeated record, but they just fine

426
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: ways to win. What do you expect in this matchup?

427
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you said it. Well, it's hit the

428
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: ladder yet, boy, offensively, they just don't look like themselves. Now,

429
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: remember they're starting running back pacheco Is out with a

430
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 4: broken leg and he won't be back. Toll. They're hoping

431
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 4: by the end of November round Thanksgiving. We'll see so

432
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 4: that that's the problem. No, I give a cream hunt.

433
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's one start, He look great, and we'll

434
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: see if you could continue. They got to move the

435
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 4: football better in the air. That that's really been the problem.

436
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: And you know they've they've been hit badly at it

437
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: by the Rashi Rice injury. It's just it's just devastating

438
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: for them. They're gonna by the way, I'm told by

439
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: a couple of people there, they've been calling around hard

440
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: to get a receiver. Then they need one. They need

441
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 4: a starting NFL receiver. That's what they're looking for. It's good.

442
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting, folks, they're probably there could be

443
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 4: three to four receivers moved by November fifth, which is

444
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: the trade deadline. We already had two big ones, and

445
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 4: we could see three or four move by then. There

446
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 4: are a lot of teams. Pittsburgh's looking, Washington's looking, Kansas

447
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: City's looking. Still a bunch of teams looking for receivers.

448
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: Speaking about receivers, a bill is Amari Cooper, that's one.

449
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: What do you think this does for Buffalo.

450
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: Oh, it helps because they look they were able to

451
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 4: be the Jets barely and they got to help Josh Allen.

452
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: Now Cooper's got to learn with Josh Allen, the play

453
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 4: that's being run isn't the one that he might wind

454
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 4: up getting. It's got to come back to the footba.

455
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: It's kind of like with Patrick Mahomes. You got to

456
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 4: come back to the football. He's got to learn how

457
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 4: to do that. So they got the chemistry going, but

458
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 4: they need a number true, number one receiver. He'll be that.

459
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 4: Kaliosha here's the other one who's done a nice job,

460
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 4: but who's been nursing an ancle injury. They'll have enough.

461
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 4: It looks like they're gonna get James Cook back. They're

462
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 4: starting running back. They were able to get through against

463
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 4: the Jets with it without them. But yeah, that's Buffalo.

464
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 4: Situation's fascinating going for here. They should have no problems

465
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 4: against the Titans. I'd be surprised what the game's competitive.

466
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 4: But they're a team that nobody's talking about because they

467
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: haven't looked great and they probably have overchieved a little bit.

468
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: Let's be honest with it.

469
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 6: All right.

470
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: One final game to ask you about. We've talked about

471
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: the Ravens right now maybe the best team in the NFL,

472
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: but they don't even have the second best record in

473
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 2: the AFC. That belongs to the Houston Texans as they

474
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: go on the road this week against the Packers. Is

475
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: this sort of a proven game as far as the

476
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: legitimacy of the Texans not to make the playoffs because

477
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: right now they've taken control of their division, but I

478
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 2: mean as a serious foe coming up in the playoffs, Yeah.

479
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 4: I would say so. Look, they didn't play great against Buffalo,

480
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: no question about that. That they barely skipped out with

481
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: kind of an ugly game. They were able to beat

482
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 4: the Jaguars barely. They got hammered in Minnesota, and that's

483
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 4: probably no one's figured out Brian Flores's defense. Yeah, I

484
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: would say so. On the road here for a young

485
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: football team's got a good mixture of veterans and it's

486
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: a great one. And by the way, the quarterback matchup,

487
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a quarterback playing better right now.

488
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 4: They Jordan Love he's overcome that MCL's brain which he

489
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: suffered against the Eagles in week one where he didn't

490
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 4: play well, he's over it. He looks fantastic. They're super

491
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: deep at receiver. By the way, the Texans are really

492
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 4: banged up in their secondary. That that's me is where

493
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 4: the advantages. Yeah, i'd expect Green Beta win this game.

494
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 4: It is a great one, Steve. This is what I

495
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: look forward to seeing tomorrow.

496
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: By the way, just for the record, the team that

497
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: I picked to be the upset team in the playoffs

498
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos if the playoffs were one in the

499
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: playoffs right there in the playoffs, right they are.

500
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 4: So ugly, you know what. Their defense is good, they're

501
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 4: winning inspired the quarterback. They're doing their best to hide them.

502
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 4: You know what. That is the call of the year. Now,

503
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 4: someone out there told me on Twitter X that they

504
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 4: said the Vikers are going to make the playoffs. Christ

505
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: they never told me this before the season started. But

506
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 4: the Denver call is good. I gotta tell you, man, Monty,

507
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: Now did you hear say that? Because I don't remember

508
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 4: that one?

509
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: He did?

510
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 4: He did?

511
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: He run down it's on paper too, like before the season.

512
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: Why did you Steve hanging before we get out of here,

513
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 4: Why did you think so?

514
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: You know why because I kept. First of all, I

515
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: was a bow Knicks fan last year at Oregon, and

516
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: I believe Sean Payton when he said, this is the

517
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: guy I see running the offense I want to run.

518
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 2: And he was at a normal college quarterback. He started

519
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: more games at the Division one level than any college

520
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: quarterback of all time. And I also know that he's

521
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 2: a mobile quarterback and in a lot of ways he's

522
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 2: almost Josh Allen like in the ability to take off

523
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: and get some positive yards down the field. So you know,

524
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: I just I just leave you. You have three wild

525
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: card teams, right, you know so.

526
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 4: Surely, But honestly, when you look at the conference right

527
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: mm hmm, I mean, honestly, the Jets haven't done it yet. Miami,

528
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 4: they're gonna get to a back relatively soon, Bark and

529
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 4: setback m hm. You know, I'll be honest now now,

530
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 4: could have honestly the only competition for the Broncos right now,

531
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 4: if we're being straight at Cincinnati now they're two and four.

532
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 4: We know they're better than this. I mean, I don't

533
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: want to say it's a shoe in.

534
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, there is a very distinct

535
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: possibility that the third Wildcard in the AFC will be

536
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: nine to eight.

537
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna have to buy Steve at dinner.

538
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 4: I promise.

539
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: Me. That's the call of the year. Man, I say this,

540
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: of course, I don't want to China. Has Dennis Allen

541
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: been fired yet? Soon? Have you ever seen the team

542
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: have two great weeks followed by the votes they beat up?

543
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: I know, but you know what, that's not an excuse

544
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 4: that they've completely fallen off. Look, they're not even competitive

545
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: right now.

546
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: He's right, great stuff has always Adam. We always appreciate

547
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: the time. We'll talk to you next Saturday.

548
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: So that's good.

549
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: That's Adam Kaplan our Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider. Oh,

550
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: terrific games we got coming out, I know, and we

551
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: have some good games in the morning when we're going

552
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: to be on the air. Let's find out what is

553
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: trending right now. Kevin Wired is in the house.

554
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 7: I got some good games going on right now, especially

555
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 7: the one damn in Knoxville, Number seven, Alabama, number eleven

556
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 7: at tennisee And right now the Crimson Times just up

557
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 7: by a field goal ten to seven with about three

558
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 7: eleven to go in the third quarter. It's been a

559
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 7: tight ball game. It was actually seven to nothing in

560
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 7: favor of Alabama at the half, as a Tennessee then

561
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 7: would answer with a touchdown of their own in the

562
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 7: third quarter, but the Crimson tie with a field goal

563
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 7: to retake the lead. Just a couple of minutes ago,

564
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 7: Number twelve Notre Dame a twenty four to seven lead

565
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 7: on Georgia Tech. They got three minutes to go in

566
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter. So it's safe to say this game

567
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 7: is just about over an old fashioned big A ten

568
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 7: battle in a champagne. And I really love how they

569
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 7: did these throwback uniforms. The helmets look like their leather

570
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 7: high it's absolutely love them. Did you those are the

571
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 7: best throwback helmets I have ever seen in my life.

572
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 7: And did you see the opening of the CBS broadcast

573
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 7: with Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson. It was a throwback

574
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 7: to the nineteen twenties. They were dressed up like that.

575
00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 7: It was black and white.

576
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: They had Red Grange, who of course was the biggest

577
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: college football start of the twenties at the University of Illinois.

578
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 2: So they're going back one hundred years and he had

579
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: his big breakout game against Michigan one hundred years ago.

580
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: But that is the best throwback helmet I've ever seen.

581
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 7: They're playing great homage to it right now. The ill

582
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 7: eliina I leading it by two touchdowns is twenty one

583
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 7: to seven. They've got eight minutes to go in the

584
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 7: fourth quarter and Illinois I currently with the ball right

585
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 7: now at their own at twenty two yard line, number

586
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 7: twenty five. Navy putting the beating on Charlotte right now

587
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 7: fifty one seventeen. So for the Service academies, man, that's

588
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 7: as good of a start for both of them combined

589
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 7: that I can remember in my entire life. Navy looks

590
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 7: like they're on their way to six and zero. Army

591
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 7: earlier today took care of business against East Carolina. So

592
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 7: the twenty third rate Black Knights moving to seven to

593
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 7: oh after a forty five to twenty eight win against

594
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 7: East Carolina, and that's going to create a lot of

595
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 7: chaos potentially at the end of the season if those

596
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 7: are the two teams still undefeated with potential playoff spots

597
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 7: on the line after the conference championships games end, is

598
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 7: when the Army Navy game will be and are they

599
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 7: going to actually hold up the playoff selection for that game?

600
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: I hope so it could happen, and that's what I

601
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: watched that happen.

602
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I hope, so I just root for chaos. That's

603
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 8: what I love. Is that what makes college football so fun?

604
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 8: Right actly?

605
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 7: Number nineteen Missouri nearly avoiding the loss at home to Auburn,

606
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 7: but they do come back to win a twenty one

607
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 7: to seventeen, outscoring Auburn fifteen to nothing in that fourth quarter.

608
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 7: Number sixteen Indiana, the Hoosiers look for real. They're seven

609
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 7: in a zero now and they've really been winning an

610
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 7: impressive fashion, including against Nebraska, beating down the corn Huskers

611
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 7: fifty six to seven. Number ten Clemson also on a

612
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 7: roll since losing the beginning of the season. They're now

613
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 7: six and one after a forty eight thirty one win

614
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 7: against Virginia. It was a shootout in Louisville. Number six

615
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 7: Miami hangs on against Louisville fifty two to forty. Wisconsin

616
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 7: and Northwestern the Badgers win it twenty three to three.

617
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,160

634
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: This is Fox Football Saturday, Steve Harvin, Monsey Belani else Where,

635
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: Live from the tairaq dot Com studios. I have never

636
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: been like a huge fan of throwback uniforms because I

637
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: think some of them are lame because you're sort of

638
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: using maybe the color scheme, but with the modern uniform.

639
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: That's why these Illinois helmets. Oh yeah, the leather helmet

640
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: is brilliant.

641
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: It takes you back, it really, it puts you in

642
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 3: a different time period.

643
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: And the jerseys and everything that is what Redgrange. Everyone's

644
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: looking at me, like, who the hell is Red Grange?

645
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: Harold Red Grange one hundred years ago. I'll put it

646
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: this way, in a great decade for sports, where Babe

647
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: Ruth obviously was famous in baseball, and there there was

648
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: a great there was a great run of you know,

649
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: Bobby Jones and golf. There was a great legendary athletes

650
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: in a lot of different sports. But the biggest football

651
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: star by far was Harold Redgrange out of the University

652
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: of Illinois touchdown day against Michigan one hundred years ago,

653
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: and the Chicago Bears signed him. The league was brand new,

654
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: the NFL was only a couple of years old, and

655
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: they needed a marketing tool, and so it was a

656
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: lot different in the NFL. They didn't just like play

657
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: every Sunday. They just played whenever they could get games

658
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: at and they would just parade red grains around and

659
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: they would fill up the stadiums. So it is accurate

660
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: to say that the NFL unlikely would have you know,

661
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: when they had teams in Duluth and Canton. I mean

662
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: that's where the NFL was essentially born. That they would

663
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: never have survived that first decade had it not been

664
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: for a guy by the name of Red Grange, the

665
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: Galloping Ghost.

666
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: The Galloping Ghost.

667
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good name, isn't that a great Where

668
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: are the great names now?

669
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

670
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: Seriously, they used to have players that were actually known

671
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: only by their nicknames, right right, you know, way back

672
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: in the day, So we've sort of lost that.

673
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 3: We have with throw back uniforms or jerseys. I wish

674
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: the NBA actually did it a little bit more because

675
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 3: they used to have the awesome graphics. Now they're all boring.

676
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: It's different because in football and in baseball you don't

677
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: see the jerseys like that, and in the NBA is

678
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: the only way you can actually showcase a graphic like that.

679
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 3: And I wish they would go back to like the

680
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: Grizzlies you know graphic, or back in the Timberwolves graphic

681
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 3: back in the day. Instead now they're boring.

682
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: Well, Illinois pulled it off today the jersey, but the

683
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: helmets are dynamic, so I haven't seen him yet I

684
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: check it out this Michigan Illinois game. Speaking of college football,

685
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: I'm keeping my eye on the Heisman race, and I'm

686
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: a little bit torn right now. I have a player

687
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: on the bubble trying to survive another one knocking on

688
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: the door. My updated one, two three in the Heisman.

689

697
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: again I would like to bring up something I rarely do,

698
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: and that is I have a Heisman vote. By the way,

699
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: Tim Henning, who's been the long time sort of the

700
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: pr guy that runs the whole show for the Heisman Trust,

701
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: sent out his annual email to me and all the

702
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: other voters just to make sure he has all the

703
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: information right where you live, like, do you still actually

704
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,560

705
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: that'll be getting ready for that ballot that will come

706
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: online the.

707
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: Ballot is submitted when once the season is over.

708
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: Like it is, well, the voting really is done the

709
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: week of it comes the week of the conference championship games.

710
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: So that Sunday of the conference or Saturday of the

711
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: conference championship games, when those games are done, is usually

712
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: when I vote. I have until the next Monday morning.

713
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: Everything's done online. In the old days that we had

714
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 2: mail in ballots and everything else like that, that didn't

715
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: happen anymore. And like I said, the code that I

716
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: have to punch in to get into my ballot, yeah,

717
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: the nuclear code is less complicated. They're literally I'm a

718
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: look at is that symbol on my Where is that?

719
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 2: I've never even seen that one before?

720
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 4: All Right?

721
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: So each week up dead to where we stand, one, two,

722
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 2: three in the hestmaning. Here is my current number three.

723
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 4: It takes the hand off, set the throw, throw it

724
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 4: to the end zone, catch it the.

725
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 5: One end the sound, touchdown, touchdown, Colorado the best player

726
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 5: in college football. Once again, Travis Hunter finds the end

727
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 5: zone for the sixth time this season.

728
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: Okay, once again that's Mark Johnson from lear Field, and yes,

729
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter is hanging on barely to a top three spot.

730
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 2: It's not about his talent. We know that he is

731
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 2: an insanely talented football player. I love, love, love Travis

732
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: Hunter and the Buffalos are, you know, heading to a

733
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 2: five and two start. They're winning big today against Arizona.

734
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: The problem is he got hurt last week and he

735
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: has not played a lot today. He only has a

736
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: couple of catches. Defensively, he's been playing mainly on third downs.

737
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: So this is my fear about Travis Hunter. You know

738
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: you're playing both ways. It's unreal at a high level,

739
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: but can you stay healthy?

740
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 4: Yep?

741
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: So right now he's hanging on. Travis Hunter is my

742
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 2: current number three. Here is my current number two war takes.

743
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 8: He looks, he stands, he fires.

744
00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 9: It isso textown Miami inside the pylon, right side of

745
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,959
Speaker 9: the end zone, and it's ros Steppo's moment in the sunshine.

746
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: That's Hurricanes radio network. Cam Ward is hanging in. He

747
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 2: led the Hurricanes to a fifty two to forty five

748
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: win over Louisville on the road today to go to

749
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: seven to zero. Another big day for him. Twenty one

750
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 2: to thirty two, three hundred nineteen yards, four touchdowns and

751
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: no interceptions. He's the second ranked quarterback in the country

752
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: and his team is undefeated.

753
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 3: That's a good day's work.

754
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: That's good.

755
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: That's how you stay in the heist and chase. Yeah,

756
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: top break quarterback and your team's undefeating. Cam Ward is

757
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 2: number one. No, no, he's not. He's number two, because

758
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,479
Speaker 2: this guy is number one.

759
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 10: Coming in motion as baits hand off genty to the

760
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 10: right side, gempty sheds a tackler thirty forty, fifty forty

761
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,280

762
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 10: drive for Ashton.

763
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: Jen d seventy five yards on the score. That's bobular

764
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: from lear Field, and well he's got the week off.

765
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 2: That's actually good news for his opponents. Let's put it

766
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: that way. Ashton Gent's numbers are ridiculous, Yeah, ridiculous. So

767
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: right now he is averaging over two hundred yards a game.

768
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 2: He's averaging over nine yards of carriage.

769
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you haven't turned on a game to watch

770
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: Boise State and do it, just watch for a quarter.

771
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: Actually, let me he's averaging nine point nine yards of course, yeah, no.

772
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: Of course, just give him the ball.

773
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: Just give him one hundred and twenty six carries for

774
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: forty eight yards. That is just rediculous. And they know

775
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 2: the greatest individual season in college football history was Barry

776
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: Sanders junior when he won the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma State.

777
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: And some people are trying to track Ashton genty. Let's

778
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: not get carried away.

779
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 3: People love to compare, people love to compare.

780
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: First half is very similar numbers. Yeah, the problem is

781
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: in the last five games. I think Sanders had three

782
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: three hundred yard rushing days down the stretch that year,

783
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: and back in those days, didn't even count the bowl

784
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: games in the final total, so you're a little in

785
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: this bowl game he had two hundred and twenty two

786
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 2: yards and five touchdowns.

787
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's just more games now, it's a little

788
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 3: bit harder to compare. But I think the comparison is

789
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: kind of cool because when was the last time you

790
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 3: saw someone like Ashton Genty.

791
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: Well, again, we haven't had a running back in the

792
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy since Derek Henry back in twenty fifteen. But

793
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: those Barry Sanders' numbers, including the bowl game, twelve games,

794
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: two thousand, eight hundred and fifty eight yards and forty

795
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 2: four touchdowns.

796
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: He just knew those numbers, by the way, everybody. He

797
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: didn't even look it up. He just wrote it down,

798
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: So you guys know, it's just in his head.

799
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: This didn't even make sense.

800
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense that you just know those numbers

801
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: as well. But here are they are.

802
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that a lot of numbers. But I

803
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: mean this thing about being a numbers guy. There are

804
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: just certain numbers in sports where you just you have

805
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: to stare at him like is that real?

806
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 3: And that's how I feel about looking at Ashton Gent's numbers,

807
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 3: like I have to see them because I don't believe it.

808
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: Nine point nine yards of care.

809
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 3: It's stupid and it's awesome.

810
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: In other words, every time you hand them the ball,

811
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: it's a first, a right, just give him the ball.

812
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: He's had eight runs of at least fifty yards this year,

813
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 2: unreal eight. So boys, he stayed off this week and

814
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: again that's going to be I'm looking at the rest

815
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: of their schedule. That should only get better for Ashton genty,

816
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 2: So good luck to him.

817
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 4: Now.

818
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: The one guy that is so close is Oregon quarterback

819
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel. So they had a blowout win against hapless Perdue.

820
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: It's more like per don't They are just awful this

821
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 2: year and they won thirty five and nothing on the road.

822
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: You like that, perdue Bo don't. Yeah, but he had

823
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: another big day. So you know again, if Travis Hunter

824
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: can't stay healthy, it's going to be a hard thing

825
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 2: for him to stay in my top three. All right,

826
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 2: We're going to get back to a fully loaded week

827
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: coming up in the NFL. This is Fox Football Saturday,

828

835
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: keeping our eye on all this college football action. Alabama's

836
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: still hanging on to a seventeen to fourteen lead on

837
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: the road in Knoxville, Illinois. By the way, not a

838
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: surprise in this game. They have knocked off Michigan. Michigan

839
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: has no offense. They just have no offense at all.

840
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: And Illinois just took care of Michigan twenty one to

841
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: seven with absolutely insane throwback uniforms, including the helmets that

842
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: look like leather helmets. Phenomenal. So big win for the

843
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: ALIGNI they've only lost one game this year in the

844
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 2: Big Ten. And for Michigan, well, it's gonna be tough.

845
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna be very tough. There are a lot of

846
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: people rooting against Jim Harborugh, we know that. Well, I

847
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 2: can think of a few people here that have Michigan ties.

848
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: Can you think of anybody?

849
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 4: Oh?

850
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 3: Just a couple. I think we're gonna see him soon.

851
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Martin is like beside himself. He is rooting for

852
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 2: Jim Harbor to go to hell Es is what he is.

853
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: He is, I see he says the state of the

854
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: Michigan program. So yeah, no national championship this year. So

855
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: seventeen fourteen Alabama, nine and a half minutes to go

856
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: in that game, Alabama with the ball, and then the

857
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 2: game of the day is going to be kicking off

858
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: here in about half an hour as Georgia is going

859
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: to be taken on Texas, and that's an interesting matchup.

860
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 2: From this standpoint, I'm pretty confident in Texas is one of,

861
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: if not the elite program of the country obviously the

862
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: rank number one in the country right now. Georgia, if

863
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 2: you look back to that lost to Alabama, it was

864
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: such a weird game. They were down twenty eight to

865
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: nothing like that, and then they came all the way

866
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: back to actually take the lead, and then Alabama got

867
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 2: the ball in one play seventy five yard touchdown gave

868
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 2: Alabama the win of that game. So this is this

869
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: is an interesting matchup coming up here shortly.

870
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: Do you think George better than losing to Alabama? Was

871
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 3: that just a fluke?

872
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: I We had this game on the radar from the

873
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,479
Speaker 2: beginning of the season because with Texas now moving into

874
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 2: the SEC, everyone thought, okay, now this is going to

875
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: especially with the game in Austin, I. It's just a

876
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: hard read for me. You know, George has been there

877
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 2: so many times in recent years and big games like this.

878
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 2: Can I imagine them losing again? Two losses? By the way,

879
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: even if they were to lose a second game, you

880
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 2: mentioned the fact, I mean, what if Georgia, Because you know,

881
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: the way the conference championship games now is you don't

882
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 2: have the divisions anymore. You just have the top two teams.

883
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 2: So let's say they lose to Texas and then they

884
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: run the table and then maybe a rematch against Texas

885
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: or matchup against Alabama and they lose like a nail bier.

886
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: Three losses, they still get an invite to the twelve

887
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: school playoff.

888
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: I don't want to be a part of that committee.

889
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 3: Let's just say, if that's the situation.

890
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: That's a tough call. That is a tough So it's

891
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: going to give us a little barometer of where we

892
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: are with both these schools right now. Somebody was asking

893
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: me if quin yours is a better quarterback right now

894
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: than arch Manning, and the answer is yes.

895
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

896
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean arch Manning won't become a great, great quarterback,

897
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: but in the moment, yours is, yes, he is a

898
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 2: better quarterback right now at the University of Texas, and

899
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 2: yours will be at calling the signals for the Longhorns today.

900
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some NFL football, Monci And

901
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: we mentioned that tomorrow we have some really dynamite games still,

902
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: you know in the morning games when we do our

903
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 2: show tomorrow morning. Obviously, the biggest game is this Lions

904
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: Vikings game, and you know the Lions are coming off

905
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: that absolute blowout of the Cowboys. I have to smile,

906
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: you know. I just there are certain teams growing up

907
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 2: that I just didn't like as an LA RAM fan

908
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: growing up in the Los Angeles area, and I'm talking

909
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 2: in the sixties seventies Rams before they moved to Orange County.

910
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 2: They always would stumble in the playoffs, either against the

911
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 2: Vikings or the Cowboys. Because of that, I can't stand

912
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 2: the Cowboys.

913
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you picked them to win the Super Bowl, you

914
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 3: crazy man.

915
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: I did because I was trying to work. I was

916
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: trying to use my reverse psychology, like, Okay, they've had

917
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: three straight twelve win seasons, and in the back of

918
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 2: my mind, I'm thinking, at some point the football gods

919
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 2: are going to smile on the Cowboys. So I thought

920
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 2: this was the year. Maybe this could be the year. Yeah,

921
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 2: this could be the year, right, because no team has

922
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 2: won back to back NFC East championships in twenty years,

923
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys won it last year, So I'm thinking

924
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: that so maybe they do win that.

925
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 3: No, I hear you, I hear especially because there's no

926
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: clear cut winner. Everyone got a little bit better than

927
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 3: what teams are were good last year, got a little

928
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 3: bit better. So I hear you. I get it, there

929
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 3: was a chance, but it was a silly decision to make.

930
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: Yes on you. Now, I did pick the Patriots to

931
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: be the worst team in the NFL. Really good about that.

932
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 2: And the broncosa is a playoff team, is my surprise, Pa.

933
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 2: But you go to the Lions right now and you

934
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: have this incredible day where you're just blowing the doors

935
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 2: off the Cowboys and then Aiden Hutchinson goes down.

936
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he still.

937
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: Got the sack.

938
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really rough to see. I was watching

939
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 3: the game live and then they showed the replay and

940
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 3: I saw it right away. I was like, oh, no,

941
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: it was his It looked like his shin which I

942
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 3: was ready. And for a second you thought he hurt

943
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: his hands because he started taking desperately off his gloves

944
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: and so I thought he jammed a finger, he jammed

945
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 3: a hand, and then no, it just I couldn't believe

946
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 3: how stoic he was in that situation, to be honest,

947
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 3: for that injury was so gruesome and so gross. Don't

948
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 3: look it up. If you haven't already seen it, don't

949
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: do it. I think that's a big, big loss for

950
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 3: the Lions, even though the Lions are just clicking really well. Also,

951
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: David Montgomery, who thought that he was going to be

952
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 3: this dominant running back for them, I don't know, I

953
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: don't know.

954
00:46:58,200 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 4: He can't be.

955
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 3: He looks like a little bit, you know, not as much,

956
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 3: but Dereck Henry like where it's like he takes them

957
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 3: on its It's hard to stop David Montgomery right now.

958
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: The Vikings, though, the big thing with them, which we've

959
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 3: talked about is their defense is their defense. If you

960
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: look at who the Lions have beat, the Lions have

961
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: only lost to the Buccaneers, and they've beat the Rams

962
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 3: of Cardinals, the Seahawks, and the Cowboys. I don't know

963
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 3: if they're going to face if they have faced a

964
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 3: defense like, oh, they haven't, so I don't I don't

965
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 3: know if Patrick is gonna give us this game to pick.

966
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: I truly don't know who I would pick.

967
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 2: But on the other side you got Sam Darnald who

968
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: got off to the tremendous start but struggled in their

969
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 2: last game. And that's the question moving forward for the Vikings.

970
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 2: Can Sam Donald continue to do what he has to

971
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 2: do if the Vikings are going to remain as a

972
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl contender. You're sitting here is the only undefeated

973
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 2: team in the NFC right now, sitting atop the mountain.

974
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 2: You're the one see But you're in a tough division.

975
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: Bears are off this week at four and two, the

976
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 2: Packers are four and two. They have the home game

977
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 2: against the Texans, and now you have this matchup against

978
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: the Lions. I mean right now, that whole division is

979
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: pretty much in the playoffs. So that's gonna be that's

980
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: the question movie for for the Vikings. Yes, their defense

981
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: is outstanding. Obviously they have weapons, you know when you

982
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: start with JJ obviously at the receiver. But can Sam

983
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 2: Donald continue to play well?

984
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 3: And he might be the X factor because I do

985
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 3: think the Lions are the better team. Like if we

986
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 3: were to go one by one, I do think the

987
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 3: Lions are the better team. But yeah, it's it's just losing.

988
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 3: I think Aiden Hutchinson has to make Sam Donald feel

989
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 3: a little bit better about approaching this week, just a

990
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 3: tiny bit that maybe he is not gonna get killed

991
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 3: by anybody. But yeah, it's just the Vikings are there

992
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 3: new offensive, Their new excuse me, defensive coordinator has instilled

993
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 3: a different mentality. They have so many they're really just

994
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 3: playing differently this year. It's not a defensive corner, it's

995
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 3: Brian Flores. But you get what I'm saying, Like he's

996
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: he's instilled a different mentality in how they're approach the game.

997
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 3: And I know the X factor is Sam Donald, but

998
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 3: without Aiden Hutchinson, I feel like it's even the margin

999
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 3: is even smaller now.

1000
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 2: Well, and that's how And by the way, it's not

1001
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 2: just Aiden Hutchinson. The Lions are really banged up by

1002
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 2: your defensive front right now. And if you give Sam

1003
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: Donald time, then they'll avoid doing what he seems to

1004
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 2: fall into a pattern of doing, and that is turning

1005
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 2: the ball over. And if he does that, obviously the

1006
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 2: Vikings are in trouble. By the way, my brother in law,

1007
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 2: who is a lifelong true Blue Lions fan, so the

1008
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 2: only team has made this trip from Iowa, where my

1009
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 2: sister and he live, to Minnesota for the Lions Vikings

1010
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 2: game every year for like thirty years in a row.

1011
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: Every year he goes to Minnesota to see his Lions

1012
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 2: play the Vikings. That's kind of awesome, it is, especially

1013
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: when the game has this kind of impact. There are

1014
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: a lot of years in that game was absolutely a throwaway.

1015
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: That is not the case anymore. Another game I wanted

1016
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 2: to get to with you, is this check Steelers game?

1017
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 3: Anything to talk about the Jets?

1018
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so we you know, we had Adam kaplan

1019
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: on earlier on the show, and Adam is maintained throughout

1020
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 2: that he still believes the Jets are going to win

1021
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: the division and there's still a chance. It's not like

1022
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 2: the Bills are a juggernaut. The Bills are good enough

1023
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: and obviously they've dominated that division, but without Tua, the

1024
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 2: Vikings are not good Dolphins.

1025
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 3: Excuse me, we knew what you said.

1026
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 8: I was just saying.

1027
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 2: And then the Patriots are, you know, arguably the worst

1028
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: team in the league because the Bengals really lose to

1029
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 2: him in that opening game at home, no less, Yeah,

1030
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: yeah they did. By the way, tennise C has just

1031
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 2: scored with under six minutes ago to take the lead

1032
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 2: against Alabama. I'll tell you, man, de Boor could be

1033
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 2: in trouble if Alabama loses this game.

1034
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 3: There's still plenty of time, I understand.

1035
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 2: But a couple of losses when you lose to Vanderbilt.

1036
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 3: Well yeah, yes, no, that was bad, but that was bad.

1037
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 2: I mean, Tennessee obviously is a good team, but you're Alabama.

1038
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: You're supposed to they expect you to win these games.

1039
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 2: So debor could be in a little trouble. But you

1040
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 2: know the idea that the Jets could still turn this

1041
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 2: thing around in a very weak division because you pretty

1042
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,720
Speaker 2: much without doing you dismissed the Dolphins and the Patriots

1043
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 2: are obviously no factor at all, So it's just the Bills.

1044
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I was watching Aaron Rodgers. He

1045
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 2: had the hail Mary. By the way, what were the

1046
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 2: Bills doing on that hail mary? You're rushing two guys,

1047
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 2: what are you doing? You have a quarterback that throws

1048
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 2: the hail mary as well, if not better than any

1049
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 2: quarterback in the history of the game. He knows how

1050
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 2: to put the ball in the right spot to give

1051
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 2: his team an opportunity. And yes, somebody has to make

1052
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 2: a big catch. I get all that, But why would

1053
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 2: you not put any pre pressure on him and allow

1054
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 2: him to set up to get the throw off exactly

1055
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: where you want to get the.

1056
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 3: Throw I think it's a little bit of not thinking

1057
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: he is the Aaron Rodgers of before.

1058
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: Ridiculous.

1059
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I agree with you. I agree, but I

1060
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 3: think that's a little bit of what went into the mentality.

1061
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 3: It's like Aaron Rodgers is not performed, he is not delivered.

1062
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 3: He is not the same guy. He is not the

1063
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 3: three four time MVP. He's not he does not look

1064
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 3: the same. But I wonder if this game against the Steelers,

1065
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 3: is this going to sway your feelings on the Jets

1066
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 3: now that.

1067
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: They have to volute to lose. It's not if they.

1068
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 3: Lose, I feel like that's it. No more talking about

1069
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 3: the Jets.

1070
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: Well, and what are we expecting for Russell Wilson. I

1071
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: do like this about justin Fields. So when Fields was,

1072
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 2: you know, talking about Russell Wilson coming in, Fields was

1073
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 2: right open and said, look, I haven't done anything really

1074
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 2: to say, yeah, it's my job.

1075
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1076
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's quite an admission, right.

1077
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 3: Because he said there would be no conversation if I

1078
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,760
Speaker 3: had done my job right. And he has a point.

1079
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 2: He does have a point. They were undefeated. Now they're

1080
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: not undefeated. They have a couple of losses and have

1081
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 2: I done enough?

1082
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 4: No?

1083
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: No, I haven't done enough. So what do you expect

1084
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 2: from Russell Wilson in this game against the Jets And

1085
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 2: this is Russell Wilson versus Aaron Rodgers.

1086
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 3: That's gonna be an interesting matchup at that. I don't

1087
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 3: know how much you can't expect Russell Wilson to just

1088
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 3: get out there and carry your offense in. But I

1089
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 3: think they're gonna hope the offense is gonna look a

1090
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 3: little bit diferent. It's gonna open it up because you

1091
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 3: weren't expecting justin fields to maybe dominate throwing the ball. Now,

1092
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 3: I think this just opens it up for you a

1093
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 3: little bit. Now you're gonna have to protect a little

1094
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 3: bit of the pass from Russell Wilson, even though we

1095
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 3: haven't seen him because he's been injured. You have to

1096
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 3: assume he's gonna throw the ball well to start.

1097
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, here's the Russell Wilson has always gotten into trouble

1098
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 2: when he tries to over extend place. You know, for

1099
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 2: years and years, the Seahawks would have a lot of sacks,

1100
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: and I always seem to be working with offensive linemen

1101
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 2: including Richard Ornberger, and rich will tell you look, sacks

1102
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: are not always on the offensive line. There's only so

1103
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 2: long you can hold off. And I get it. You

1104
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 2: have a quarterback that wants they extend to play and

1105
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 2: then they make that spectacular play, they're like, WHOA unbelievable.

1106
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: But more often than not, extending plays ends up with sacks.

1107
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 2: And I don't know how Russell Wilson's body is going

1108
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: to react if he gets sacked a number of times

1109
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 2: against you know, obviously a Jets defense that has struggled

1110
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: against the run, but still putting a lot of pressure

1111
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 2: on quarterbacks. So you haven't played in a while and

1112
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're on your butt. How is

1113
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 2: he going to react to that? I this, to me

1114
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 2: is a golden opportunity for the Jets. It really is.

1115
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 2: Jets are favored in this game, even though it's in Pittsburgh.

1116
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 2: But then I keep getting back to the Mike Tomlin factor,

1117
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 2: where again, you you watch the Steelers, You watch a

1118
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 2: game and they play ugly. Then you look up and like,

1119
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:06,479
Speaker 2: did they win the game?

1120
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 3: They win ugly a lot? They win ugly a lot?

1121
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 2: How did they even hit last year? How did they

1122
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 2: have a winning record last year? How did they do it?

1123
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,760
Speaker 2: They had no quarterback? And that's the Mike Tomlin factor.

1124
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 2: You know, always say in the NFL there are no

1125
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 2: style points, just a matter of getting wins all right.

1126
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, the forty nine ers

1127
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 2: are trying to get back on track as they take

1128
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 2: on the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. We're going to do

1129
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 2: an update on these two quarterbacks that faced off in

1130
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: last year's Super Bowl. Where did they stand now? This

1131

1147
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1148
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, talk Tuesday, trash talking Tuesday and such a post.

1149
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: Well, somebody said that Steve Hartman and Monsie Belanos got

1150
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 2: trash talked on that show.

1151
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. I don't I wasn't there on Tuesdays.

1152
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 2: I don't know either.

1153
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 3: I don't work. I usually work Tuesday mornings. What were

1154
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 3: they matter about?

1155
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 2: I have no idea was I was trying. I was

1156
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 2: trying to find it. Patrick Gay, gotta find that. If

1157
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: you can find that.

1158
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 8: I gotta find that. Let me, I'll go look into that.

1159
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: Somebody that we were mentioned on Rob's do you have

1160
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 2: a trash talk?

1161
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 4: You guys?

1162
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 3: It was obviously something we said on the show last weekend.

1163
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 3: But they're trash talk.

1164
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 2: I mean, no one's ever trash talked about me?

1165
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 3: Sure, wow, sure?

1166
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 2: Well sure and Montsi knows as well. Yes, we've we've Yeah,

1167
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 2: we've always been there. Hey, before I want to get

1168
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 2: to this forty nine or Chiefs matchup YEP, one of

1169
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 2: the big stories in the NFL. It's official now that

1170
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 2: Tom Brady has now acquired part ownership of the Las

1171
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders, which further complicates his role as the number

1172
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 2: one analyst for Fox Sports, of which he's being paid

1173
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 2: thirty seven million dollars a year. He can have no

1174
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 2: contact with anybody and not do anything He literally cannot

1175
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: talk to anybody prior to the game. He can't be

1176
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 2: critical of officials in a game as an owner of

1177
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 2: a team. I mean, if you're Fox, You're like, what

1178
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 2: are we doing? So the guy that is our analyst

1179
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 2: on our number one game every week? And look, Tom

1180
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 2: Brady's status is the go is not going to get

1181
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 2: challenge based on his broadcasting career. But let's put it

1182
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: this way, being gentle, he hasn't made a big impact

1183
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 2: as an analyst yet. But if his only thing he

1184
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 2: can do is basically say what we're already seeing with

1185
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: no background, no conversations, you could say, well, he could

1186
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 2: get information from somebody else. Yeah, but that could still

1187
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 2: go down as tampering. Yeah. Even if somebody else gave

1188
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 2: you information and you use it as an NFL owner,

1189
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 2: that is still tampering and the league could come down

1190
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: hard and you say, well, what what what are the penalties?

1191
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, draft picks for the Raiders.

1192
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, this seems super messy, Like, how is this allowed?

1193
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 3: How is it allowed?

1194
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 8: Right now?

1195
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 2: Well, the NFL is going to have to figure this out.

1196
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 3: He can't go inside any of the facilities, he can't

1197
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 3: talk to anybody he can't even.

1198
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 2: Be critical of officials during the game.

1199
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, there's.

1200
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: You know, you say, most of Ana's say well that's

1201
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 2: a terrible call. If he says that, he gets fined

1202
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 2: or worse.

1203
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 3: So maybe we're gonna hear him say, wow, that was

1204
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 3: a really good call. Wink wink, and then we know

1205
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 3: he's lying. Uh no, there's no way this works, right,

1206
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 3: there's no way this works.

1207
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 2: It just was not necessary.

1208
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 3: It wasn't necessary.

1209
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 2: I don't I don't get it. Greg Olsen obviously had

1210
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: established that he could get the job done. He was

1211
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 2: a rising stars and analysts still is, and he wanted

1212
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 2: to go with a big splash. Again. When you look

1213
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 2: at the most famous analyst in football, when you think

1214
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 2: college football, it's Kirk herbs Street. Kirk Herbstreet. I don't

1215
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,919
Speaker 2: even remember when he was the quarterback at Ohio State.

1216
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 2: He had one year, like one year. Chris Collinsworth had

1217
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 2: a couple of really good years early in his career

1218
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: with the Bengals. That was forty plus years ago. The

1219
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 2: biggest names don't become the biggest stars in broadcasting.

1220
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 3: And it also doesn't happen overnight. I mean, Derek Jeter

1221
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 3: just now started talking baseball, you know, in a studio

1222
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 3: or with the guys. Tom Brady's gonna have to dig

1223
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 3: deep down into his analytical side if he is going

1224
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 3: to do this job and do it well, because you're

1225
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 3: not gonna have access to anything. So besides telling us

1226
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 3: like you just said, what we already can see, he's

1227
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 3: gonna have to dig a little deep into that analytical

1228
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 3: side of his if he has one to make it work.

1229
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: In all the years I've been watching sports, that's a

1230
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 2: lot of years, there are only three analysts that moved

1231
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 2: the needle, and o there's three anamals in any sport

1232
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 2: that moved the needle because of their presence making comments.

1233
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 2: First was Howard Kosell in the beginning of Monday Night Football,

1234
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 2: John Madden and Charles Barkley. Those are the old three

1235
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 2: analysts in my opinion, that always moved the needle. So

1236
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 2: the idea of paying somebody an exorbitant amount of money

1237
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 2: to be an analyst when you may not have it

1238
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 2: being the greatest quarterback, most successful quarterback in the NFL

1239
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 2: doesn't do it. But now it's even worse. It is

1240
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 2: because now he's got his he's handcuffed, he has nothing

1241
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: he can do.

1242
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 3: You know, he's gonna have to dissect the play in

1243
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 3: front of him and get creative in what he says

1244
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 3: on the mic.

1245
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 2: So I don't know what they're gonna do, But you

1246
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 2: know what does he care? What is ten year contract

1247
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 2: at thirty seven million dollars a year sometimes just makes

1248
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 2: some sense. All right, we'll get to that forty nine er.

1249
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 2: We also have our picks coming up. Y's right, Gay

1250
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 2: Day Genius is right around the corner. Had a great

1251
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 2: week two weeks ago. Not gonna mentions, all right, now,

1252
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,959
Speaker 2: let's find out what is trending? Is Kevin Wirrett is back?

1253
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 2: Busy day in college football. We've got a great one

1254
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: going down in Knoxville right now. Number eleven Tennessee, Number

1255
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 2: seven Alabama, the Volunteers currently leading it twenty one to

1256
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 2: fourteen with less than two minutes ago. This one has

1257
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 2: just been a crazy back and forth, a fair especially

1258
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 2: in this second half. Two third down conversions. Nico back

1259
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 2: to throw on this drive.

1260
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Fighter for the ends of the pass gonna be a

1261
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: diving catch.

1262
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 2: Did he touch that?

1263
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 6: Ensa Chris Prasel stretches full out on the back right

1264
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 6: corner of the end zone, caught it on his fingertips

1265
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 6: a touchdown of sixteen yards. Want to throw it by

1266
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 6: Nico And what a catch by Chris Brasel. Caught him

1267
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 6: in the back right corner of the end zone and

1268
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 6: Tennessee is back on in front.

1269
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 7: Call courtesy of the Tennessee Radio Network. Chris Brasel, Yeah,

1270
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 7: that wasn't an outstanding catch he made there in the

1271
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 7: end zone, fingertip catch as he laid out for in

1272
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 7: the back, and that gave Tennessee the lead.

1273
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 8: And they're still clinging on to it right.

1274
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 7: Now, up by four, hoping to hold Alabama here and

1275
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 7: possibly put a second goal post in the bottom of

1276
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 7: the Tennessee River to join the one that went to

1277
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 7: the bottom of the Cumberland River a couple of weeks ago.

1278
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 7: Of course, Tennessee with the upset that started that traditional

1279
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 7: right of carrying the goalpost down to the river when

1280
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 7: Tennessee beat Alabama a couple of years ago, So they're

1281
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 7: hoping for that repeat. One p fifty five to go

1282
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 7: and it is fourth down for Alabama. So this is

1283
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 7: the game right here. A couple other games going on

1284
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 7: right now, USC and Maryland. The Trojans hanging on by

1285
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 7: six twenty eight, twenty two, they have reached the two

1286
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 7: minute time out. And update on that Alabama game. The

1287
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 7: Crimson Tights stopped on a fourth down. They do have

1288
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 7: three timeouts left with a minute and forty six go

1289
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 7: down by four, but Alabama has just been stopped on

1290
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 7: a fourth down. Tennessee gets the ball back up by four,

1291
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 7: so presumably one first down is all they will need

1292
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 7: to put this game away. Some other late action Baylor

1293
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 7: leading Texas Tech fifty two to twenty seven. Number fourteen

1294
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 7: Texas A and m A thirty four to twenty four

1295
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 7: lead on Mississippi State. A few right teams just getting started.

1296
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 7: Number eight LSU leading Arkansas seven to nothing. They've got

1297
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 7: four minutes ago in the first quarter. We're just moments

1298
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 7: away from kicking off in Austin. This is probably the

1299
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 7: game of the night. Number five Georgia, Number one Texas

1300
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 7: Actually they moved back to the kickoff time now seven

1301
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,479
Speaker 7: forty nine Eastern times, so a little under twenty minutes

1302
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 7: away from things getting going over in Austin. Number nine

1303
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 7: Iowa State about to get started against UCF. Same for

1304
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 7: number seventeen Kansas State in their matchup with West Virginia.

1305
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 7: Other games that I've gone final from earlier today it

1306
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 7: was a shootout down in Louisville. But Number six Miami

1307
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 7: moves to seven and oh with a fifty two to

1308
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 7: forty five win against the Cardinals Number ten Clemson, That

1309
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 7: early season loss seems like a distant memory. Is the

1310
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 7: Tiger six and one after their win against the Virginia

1311
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 7: Cavaliers forty eight to thirty one? Number sixteen Indiana look

1312
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 7: in a for real seven and oh the Hoo's is

1313
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 7: really putting a whoopin on the Nebraska Cornhuskers fifty six

1314
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 7: to seven. Number nineteen Missouri comes from behind to meat

1315
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 7: Auburn twenty one to seventeen. Army, how about those Black

1316
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 7: Nights seven and oh they beat East Carolina forty five

1317
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 7: to twenty eight, and Navy also taking care of business

1318
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 7: the twenty fifth ranked mid Shipman now six and oh

1319
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 7: after they blow out Charlotte fifty one seventeen. So that

1320
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 7: certainly creates an interesting scenario if they were able to

1321
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 7: make that Army Navy game after the conference championship games

1322
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 7: are already concluded and both those teams undefeated, that could

1323
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 7: create some chaos if they both have a case for

1324
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 7: the playoff elsewhere other ranked teams in action number twenty

1325
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 7: four Michigan falling to number twenty two, Illinois twenty one

1326
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 7: seven and the best throwback uniforms. I think I have

1327
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 7: ever seen a football team where as Illinois getting the victory.

1328
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 7: They are now six and one on the season, three

1329
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 7: one in Big Ten Play twelve notre Name thirty one

1330
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 7: thirteen against Georgia Tech down in Atlanta.

1331
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 8: Back over to you guys.

1332
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 2: All right, Kevin, by the way, you had a fourth

1333
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 2: and twenty two Alabama. You throw a little dump pass

1334
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 2: in the middle of the field, goes for eight yards.

1335
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're gonna go for a fourth down,

1336
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 2: shouldn't you try to get past the first down marker?

1337
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,919
Speaker 2: I did. It's over twenty yards, but a dump out

1338
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 2: pass in the middle of the field obviously came up

1339
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 2: way short. All right, once again, this is Fox Football Saturday.

1340

01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 8: got an l because you took the under and definitely

1356
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 8: did not go under fifty one.

1357
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 2: Now that was one of that was one of the

1358
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 2: great underpredictions.

1359
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Of all time.

1360
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 8: Moncy is currently Monsey.

1361
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 2: I gave thirty points over the Uh yeah.

1362
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 8: So with that said, Mancy, you have a one point lead.

1363
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 8: It's at thirteen and eight to twelve and eleven. The

1364
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 8: losses don't matter. It's thirteen points for Monsey, twelve for Steve.

1365
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 2: All right, so one lead. All right, that's already.

1366
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 8: Well here's my first pick of the of of our week.

1367
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 8: And uh boy, howdy, it's of course I'm doing this

1368
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 8: one Lions at Vikings Monse. You already knew I was

1369
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 8: gonna do it. We're in the Jersey for a reason.

1370
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 8: Over under his fifteen and a half points are leader

1371
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 8: in the clubhouse. Mansei, whore you picking?

1372
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 3: This is a hard one. It really is.

1373
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 8: You will be judged by the way by your answer.

1374
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. I'm judged all the time. So does

1375
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 3: you have a Lions fan and a Vikings Listen, I

1376
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 3: really don't know what the right answer is in this situation.

1377
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 3: I think the Lions are the better team. But I

1378
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 3: don't think the Vikings are fake. I I don't think

1379
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 3: it's a fluke that they are five and no. But

1380
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 3: I do think that I think the Lions are gonna

1381
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 3: get it. I think the Lions win this one. Yeah,

1382
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I do take that pasture. It's not gonna

1383
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 3: and it's not gonna be easy. It's just I think

1384
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 3: the Lions have the edge.

1385
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 2: I take it. It's my turn, mister Harmon. I feel

1386
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 2: like there's an opening here. You know, here's the thing

1387
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 2: about the NFL. You watch a team like what the

1388
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 2: Lions did of the Cowboys last week, You're like, Oh,

1389
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 2: they they're gonna win this game. Vikings are actually a

1390
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 2: slight favorite in this They are coming off of buye.

1391
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm going Minnesota in this game and I'm going over

1392
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 2: fifty and a half. Let's going due Without Aiden Hutchinson

1393
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 2: in there, I think the Vikings have a field day.

1394
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 2: The Lions can't be stopped. I know that. So yeah,

1395
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 2: it's a big overrunner. We can consider the Vikings defense

1396
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 2: as good. Lions are decent defensively, but I'm gonna go

1397
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 2: Voiking Vikings and I'm taking the over.

1398
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 8: What about any bold, any bold Montsey bolt.

1399
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 3: I don't have a bold for this one.

1400
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 8: Now that's fine. I get it, it's close game.

1401
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 3: I get close game.

1402
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 2: I have no bold for that.

1403
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 8: Well, let's go with that number two. It's you know,

1404
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 8: we're not going that far away from the NFC North

1405
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 8: on this one. With that said, we had the Houston

1406
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 8: Texans taking on the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau. By

1407
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,759
Speaker 8: the way, Packers are home forty eight and a half

1408
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 8: is the over under one points scored, and Steve, we're

1409
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 8: gonna go start with you what we're feeling.

1410
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 2: Well, I believe that Jordan Love is back on track.

1411
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 2: It took him a little time to shake off the rust,

1412
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 2: and the Texans haven't really been all that great other

1413
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 2: than the fact they're finding ways to win games. But

1414
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 2: on the road against the Packers. I don't see it.

1415
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm taking Green Bay to beat the Texans.

1416
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Houston is going to be missing players on both

1417
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 3: sides of the ball. I mean, it's gonna be a

1418
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 3: hard one for them, and I agree. I think Jordan

1419
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 3: Love is feeling himself right now. The Packers are also

1420
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 3: playing some of their best defense. You know, Jeff Hafley,

1421
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 3: their defensive coordinator, has kind of instilled takeaways being a

1422
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 3: big part. Last year they only had eighteen takeaways. The

1423
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 3: Packers already have seventeen this year. I am also taking

1424
01:10:51,920 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 3: the Packers and I oh do it. I'm taking the packerss.

1425
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:01,639
Speaker 2: Over unders forty eight and a half.

1426
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 3: No, I'm not touching it. I have I have.

1427
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:09,600
Speaker 8: Would you like to do a bold though it's not

1428
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 8: gonna hurt you, it's not.

1429
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 3: I actually think Joe Mixon will be stopped. I say

1430
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 3: he has under under seventy five yards on the ground

1431
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:21,679
Speaker 3: and no touchdown.

1432
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 8: You're seventy five under seventy that's too much, too much,

1433
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 8: m I mean, he's been on a hot and no

1434
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 8: touchdown touchdowns. So if he gets a touchdown and he's

1435
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 8: but he's still under no.

1436
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 3: No, it would have to be both. I say it's both,

1437
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 3: like I just think he's going to be stuck.

1438
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah right, all right, I'm going to give you a

1439
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 2: bold prediction right now. C J. Stroud zero touchdown passes.

1440
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 8: Oh that's bold. Oh that's a good one, Steve. All right, No,

1441
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 8: I'm gonna I'm gonna give you both of that, because

1442
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 8: if Monsie can have underyards and still gets a touchdown,

1443
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 8: then it cancels.

1444
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 2: Corrective scenes like a big number bold, Steve, I like

1445
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: that zero touchdown passes or c JSON.

1446
01:11:56,439 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 3: You're crazy easy. I don't know what. I don't know what.

1447
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 8: Fortune favors the bold people.

1448
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true.

1449
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 8: All right, all right, you want we can go in

1450
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 8: the final one here.

1451
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Let's get it out of the way

1452
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: right now.

1453
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 8: All right, Final one Chiefs Niners, Super Bowl rematch. Niners

1454
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 8: are home forty six and a half. Manzi, the floor

1455
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:19,719
Speaker 8: is yours.

1456
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, you bet against the Chiefs

1457
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 3: and Patrick Mahomes and then they prove you wrong. Every

1458
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 3: single time Mahomes has been in the middle of the

1459
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 3: pack if you look statistically. But obviously the Chiefs are

1460
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 3: still winning. But I think this game is going to

1461
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 3: be more important to the forty nine ers and their future.

1462
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 3: So I say, the forty nine ers when at home

1463
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 3: in this Super Bowl rematch against.

1464
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 2: The Chiefs, sound reasoning, moncy, no doubt about that. But wrong, wrong, wrong,

1465
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 2: don't ever go against homes of the Chiefs. Not only

1466
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 2: will the Chiefs win. Bold prediction, Chiefs win by double

1467
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 2: digits as a two.

1468
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 3: Point dogs at Is that a.

1469
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 2: Bold enough prediction on the road.

1470
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, no, it's not gonna happen.

1471
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 8: Forty six point five over unders going ones going, no,

1472
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 8: not touching.

1473
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Steve, No, I already had my one over.

1474
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 2: You saw how brilliant my under was last week? That

1475
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 2: was I think they went over by halftime. I'm like, well,

1476
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 2: that's such a big number of ye and I'm like,

1477
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,679
Speaker 2: what was I thinking that was? That was not good?

1478
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 2: All right? Coming up on the others, SI will put

1479
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,560
Speaker 2: uh to wrap some of the other games of consequence

1480

Speaker 3: With the jam dude, Patrick out of this so hard.

1486
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 4: I forgot about this thought.

1487
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 8: This is the uncensored version, by the way.

1488
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, be careful on this one. But that's all phenomenal.

1489
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 2: And Patrick, of course doing a brilliant job as he

1490
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 2: always does, trying to trip us up with those picks.

1491
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 2: Tough games. This week, I mean every week right now

1492
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 2: from this point on, the NFL gets tougher, tougher, tougher.

1493
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 2: It's a final. Tennessee has defeated Alabama twenty four to seventeen,

1494
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: and Tennessee moves to six and one. Alabama second loss.

1495
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 2: You'm thinking about Alabama beating Georgia. They were on top

1496
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 2: of the world, Kaylin de Boor you know, wow, you

1497
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 2: had a look at that. He's taking over for Nick Saban.

1498
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. That's two losses in their

1499
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: last three games, and not good losses and not good life.

1500
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 4: All right.

1501
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 2: They are just about to kick off right now this

1502
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 2: game in Austin, number one ranked Texas undefeated six and

1503
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 2: oh taking on number five Georgia five and one. I

1504
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 2: cannot wait to sit down and watch this game. This

1505
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 2: is going to be good stuff here today that stadium.

1506
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 2: By the way, I've been to that stadium, not for

1507
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 2: a game. I was actually in Austin and they had

1508
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 2: just expanded the stadium there, And it is just some

1509
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 2: of these college football stadiums are mine boggling how big

1510
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 2: they are. We were talking one hundred thousand fans.

1511
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's crazy.

1512
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 2: Do you think there's any NFL team that could pack

1513
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 2: in one hundred thousand fans every week?

1514
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 3: Yes?

1515
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 2: A few, you do, I think so, a few, like

1516
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 2: really like.

1517
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 3: I honestly, I think the Cowboys. I think the Cowboys.

1518
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 2: You think the Cowboys get one hundred thousand every week?

1519
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 3: I maybe not every week, but that they could.

1520
01:15:55,560 --> 01:16:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean Penn State, Michigan City, Yeah, I

1521
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 2: mean these are one hundred thousand seed stadiums every every game. Yeah,

1522
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand. Don't get that in the NFL. No, no, no,

1523
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean more people are watching NFL because they are.

1524
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 2: They are watching it, all right, So we'll watch I'll

1525
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 2: watch that game now Monci tomorrow. We mentioned we got

1526
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 2: NFL football and a big day. Indeed, I have been

1527
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:28,640
Speaker 2: remiss and talking about a team right now. If the

1528
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 2: playoffs started today, it would be in the playoffs, and

1529
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 2: that would be your beloved Los Angeles Chargers. No, this

1530
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 2: is a game. As you know, I've been coming back

1531
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 2: and forth from the Phoenix area over the last month months,

1532
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 2: so I actually circled this game as a game I

1533
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 2: was going to take my kids to see. But then

1534
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 2: I looked at it and I was like, not gonna

1535
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 2: waste it. Well, this is because last year, instead of

1536
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 2: taking them to a game at so Far, we decided

1537
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 2: to make the trip to Vegas forty two nothing Raiders

1538
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 2: at halftime, yeah, can you imagine? And my boys were

1539
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 2: decked out full Charger gears as they should be. Good job,

1540
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 2: full Charger gear. You know what was the worst part

1541
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 2: of that, well, it was a lot as it turned

1542
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 2: out to be. Brandon Staley and Tom Telesco's less game

1543
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 2: was not getting ripped by Raider fans about and by

1544
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 2: the way, Raiders had not scored an offensive touchdown three

1545
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 2: weeks going into that game. It was the sympathy in

1546
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 2: the second half. Oh We're so sorry. Yeah. Now, if

1547
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 2: you're a Charger fan, all of a sudden you got

1548
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 2: Raider fans like feeling sorry for you. That is ten

1549
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 2: times worse. And you know them ragging on you. You guys,

1550
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 2: saw you are you?

1551
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 8: Oh? Yeah?

1552
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 2: Sorry?

1553
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers the Dodgers. I think the Chargers

1554
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 3: have had a lot of sympathy actually the last couple

1555
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,640
Speaker 3: of years from NFL fans just because they have not

1556
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 3: been disciplined and they have had talent. They have had

1557
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 3: talent on both sides of the ball and had not

1558
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 3: been able to execute. Here comes, you know, Jim Harbaugh.

1559
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 3: And even though I don't necessarily love the game plan

1560
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 3: because it does keep Justin Herbert a little bit more contained,

1561
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 3: I like what he's doing. They're disciplined, they have a

1562
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 3: game plan, they're not going to deviate, and that's not

1563
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 3: necessarily a bad thing. He knows what they can do,

1564
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 3: he knows what they can't do, and it's been successful

1565
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 3: and I think they can They're gonna make the playoffs.

1566
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,719
Speaker 2: Well. And by the way, this is I'm showing Manci

1567
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 2: the picture of my boys at the game. See totally

1568
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 2: decked out, full charge of.

1569
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 3: Gear with different with different color jerseys at all.

1570
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they love it. They were all decked out and

1571
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 2: it was it was bad. I'm just curious moving forward

1572
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,759
Speaker 2: for the Chargers what their game plan is for Justin Herbert,

1573
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,600
Speaker 2: Why did when you looked at these wide receivers that

1574
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 2: were available out there, knowing that your receiving core is

1575
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 2: as thin as it is with the Chargers. And again,

1576
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 2: I give Jim Harbaugh credit because he is he's making

1577
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 2: the best of what he had and he wants to

1578
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 2: run the ball, and they've been doing that effectively. The

1579
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 2: offensive line has been outstanding. We saw a little bit

1580
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 2: of it in the last game with Justin Herbert, maybe

1581
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 2: a little more throwing the ball. But you got the

1582
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 2: supreme talent. Why did you not go out and get

1583
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 2: a receiver.

1584
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 3: I think he just had priorities as to what to

1585
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 3: fix first and figured that he has the talent in

1586
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 3: the quarterback, why not leave that last. That's the only

1587
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 3: thing that makes sense that he wanted to fix one

1588
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 3: thing at a time, started the offensive line, where it's

1589
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 3: on the defense.

1590
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 2: But it's different this year because teams that we thought

1591
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 2: were going to be destined to the postseason, like the Bengals,

1592
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 2: like the Dolphins. I mean a lot of these teams

1593
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 2: are like, okay, look at the AFC right now. I

1594
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 2: threw a flyer at the Broncos. But the Chargers are

1595
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 2: the same way this right now is I'm telling you

1596
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 2: nine wins might get into the wild card in the AFC.

1597
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 3: I mean they're winning right now, they're figuring it out.

1598
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 2: Keep it here. This is Fox Sorts Radio
