He's got his super Bowl prediction, 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: also has his playoff predictions. A couple of surprises in there. 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: I took a sneak peek, got to get my inside 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: information here as I get ready to make my Super 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: Bowl prediction that'll be coming up on Thursday, best and 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: worse than the weekend. We weren't here yesterday. We always 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: do that on Monday, so you get a chance to 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: do it today, which you saw that you liked to 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: didn't like. Dial us up, you can email, you can tweet. 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to Peacock, our TV partners and 14 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: also our great radio affiliates around the country. This from 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter. The Saints and Pro Bowl running back Alvin 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: Kamara extremely close to a lucrative new extension. The two 17 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: sides are hoping to finalize in the next couple of days. 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: Per sources, The deal would silence any recent trade speculation 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: and keep Camara in New Orleans during the prime of 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: his career. First of all, I never bought into the 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: trade scenarios that felt like, Hey, let's get out in 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: front of this and have a hot take. We're already 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: seeing articles and takes people speculating where the Greek Freak 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: will be next year or the year after that. He's 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent after next season. I don't know 26 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: if he's going to play tonight. I don't know the 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: severity of the injury, the ankle injury. But if I'm 28 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: the Bucks, I'm overly cautious here. I don't you're not 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: going to win this series. And I think they know 30 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: they're not going to win this series, and I got 31 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: to be cautious with him. I want him to know. 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: I want him to know that we care about him 33 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: long term, not just for this game or the next game. 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: And if he's out there limping, because there are things 35 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: you can do that you're going to try to reduce 36 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: the swelling, the pain. You know, you're gonna ice it, 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna take it, you could shoot it up, whatever 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: it might be. But I want him to know we're 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: invested in you long term. This isn't about we need 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: you to play tonight. I needed him to play more 41 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: minutes in this series, not now, you're down three games 42 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: to one. You had a herculean task that the rest 43 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: of the team, the roster, came up big. You won 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: in overtime. I would not have him out there because 45 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: if I'm Miami, if he's out there, we're going at him. 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm making him work. I make him go side to side. Yeah, 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna make him work as much as possible, 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have Bam out of Bayo go right 49 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: at him. But you also have Lakers Rockets that'll be 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: coming up tonight. That's Game three as well. The heat 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: or up three games to one. The Rockets tied with 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers game apiece. Celtics up three two on the 53 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Raptors Clippers one last night. They're up to one on 54 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: the Nuggets. What happened to Jamal Murray? He had a 55 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: three game stretch that was postseason history, averaging forty seven 56 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: a game since then missing an action. They gotta have 57 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: him play great if they have any chance. Jokich played 58 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: well again last night, but I gotta have Jamal Murray 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: be great. Paul George played great last night. So if 60 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: I get Paul George and Kawhi Leonard playing great. Then 61 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: the only other team that can cancel them out, in 62 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: my opinion, is the Lakers if Lebron and Anthony Davis 63 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: play well. But that's what it has to be. And 64 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: I get Paul George and Kawhi on both ends of 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: the floor being elite defenders. Anthony Davis is an elite defender, 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: Lebron isn't. But those are the that's the only pair 67 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: that can cancel those two out. If Paul George is 68 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: playing well at both ends and he's getting thirty a night, 69 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: Kawhi is going to be there. Never have to worry 70 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: about him. Anthony Davis, I'm never quite sure, but when 71 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: he does show up, he shows up bigger than the 72 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: other players that I just mentioned, And then you would 73 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: expect Lebron to be there as well. But those are 74 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: the That's where we stand with the postseason Bubble Action 75 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: Game five, Heat Bucks Tonight, Lakers Rockets Game three, Best 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: and Worst to the weekend. Yes, Todd, how could two 77 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: top teams like the Lakers and Rockets be so inconsistent? 78 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: You were saying in the last segment, you have no 79 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: idea what to expect for the next game between those people. Well, 80 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: we saw the Rockets come out with small ball, and 81 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: they were the better team, comfortably the better team in 82 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: Game one, and then all of a sudden, the Lakers 83 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: came back and then acted like the Lakers, and the 84 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: Rockets acted like the Rockets. It's just the Rockets are 85 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: so unpredictable that they give you brilliance, but then they'll 86 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: also lay a couple of eggs. And that's why it's 87 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: hard for them to advance because I don't think they 88 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: can stay consistently good bordering on great for four games 89 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: to win four games, and you can't have an off 90 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: night shooting, and that's their margin of error is as 91 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: small as any team still in the bubble, because it 92 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: feels like if they have a bad night, they have 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: a really bad night. Yeah, mcleven. I saw this quote 94 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: right after the loss where Lebron said, I think we 95 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: figured out this team's speed, and I was like, oh, no, 96 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: Lebron's mad. He's he's gonna win that game. Is that 97 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: what the adjustment you're talking about? Like the Lakers kind 98 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: of figure out how to play this small team. I 99 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: would hope you'd know how to play him before you 100 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: got into the bubble, Like you can't go boy, we 101 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: didn't understand their team speed. Well. Yeah, but when you're 102 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: coming off a different theory with the Blazers, the Rockets 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: are so weird, you know. It's it's just you never 104 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: see a team of Robert Covington's a center. Yeah, but 105 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: I want them to adapt to me and our for 106 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: our offense, Like don't I don't want to. John Wooden 107 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: used to do this at UCLA. He said, I don't 108 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: need to scout you. You have to scout us, like 109 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: you have to prepare for us. And if I'm the Lakers, 110 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: prepare for us. And Anthony Davis play center, Like, I 111 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: don't know why this is a problem. Hey, he's willing 112 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: to play center. Wow, what a sacrifice. All it is 113 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: is you're listed as a C instead of an F. 114 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: That's it. It's not a big deal. He's willing to 115 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: play center. Man, That's almost like Willis Reid coming out 116 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: of the locker room in nineteen seventy. It's like Kurt 117 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Gibson going to the plate and hit the homer off 118 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: ec Just play. Nobody cares what your designation is. You 119 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: were two or three, you're four, Just play? Who cares? Yes? Love, 120 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: are those around anymore? One, two, three, four and five. 121 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if they are, you know, but that 122 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: was a big thing. You know, are you you're a 123 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: one or you're two? Which were you? I'm a stretch four? 124 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: I was I guess at two. I don't know. We 125 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: just like you were a guard and then you were four, 126 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: you were a center. Now you're a stretch three. Huh. 127 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: This is like, you know, the NFL insiders will always 128 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: give you that. They're like they have their own little language, 129 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, three techne gap responsibility and like what it's 130 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: not just good good enough to just say something simple. 131 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you're not in the fraternity, you know, 132 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: if you're gonna take the top off the muffin there? Yea. 133 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: I always saw like a three technique and a five technique. 134 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: Mend the defensive lineman had like three moves. He can 135 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: pull on you like a karate chop. That's not what 136 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: it is, mclemon. No, it's where they light up, right. 137 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: But I have no idea. Yeah, yeah, I thought the 138 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: same thing for years, Like he's a three technique guy. 139 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: We really love Miche, Why would you draft him over 140 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: the five technique guy? Obviously want a guy with a 141 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: five technique. I know he went to Northern Illinois, but 142 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: he's got five techniques. If he had six techniques, even then, 143 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm one draft pick. Would you take a three technique? 144 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: Speaking of number one draft picks, you Davey N Clowney 145 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: as uh landed in Tennessee. Give a very good defense 146 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of a boost there. He's still not 147 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: as good as what he he was supposed to be. 148 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he'd take There are times when I 149 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: would watch him play in Seattle and I didn't know 150 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: if he was on the field, like I'd eventually find 151 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: his number. I just don't see him taken over games. 152 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: And even when he had JJ Watt on the other side, 153 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: it just didn't feel like he was a great pass 154 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: rusher and it was almost like he was better in 155 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: the run game there. Yeah, Poe, I think I just 156 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: figure something out. Clowney is going to Tennessee. The offensive 157 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: tackle for Tennessee is Taylor Luwan out of Michigan. Correct. Yeah, 158 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: if they bring Vincent Smith into practice, they could reenact 159 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: the play because Taylor Luan was blocking against South Korea. 160 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: Wasn't blocking? Yeah he was? He was? He was, he 161 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: was in his stance I think, yeah, Taylor Luwan was 162 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: going to the downhill to hit a linebacker and let 163 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: Clowney buy so they could re enact that play in practice. 164 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: And it wasn't a great play. He went unblocked and 165 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: took Vincent Smith's head off the helmet, popping off. Though 166 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: it's a video game. Oh, I know, it's like rockham 167 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: sock'em Robots, but that it felt like that's when the 168 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: legend of Jadeveon Clowney started. And then his pro day 169 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: remember Teddy Bruski of the Mothership. Oh, this is incredible. 170 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: It's the best pro day I've ever seen. Like we 171 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: were just gushing and we wondered at the time, if 172 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: he didn't have that play in the Outback Bowl, would 173 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: we be talking about Jadeveon Clowney the way we did 174 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: when he came into the league. And I mentioned last 175 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: hour source of mine set he doesn't have any lower 176 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: body strength like that. He can be pushed around. This 177 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: is when he was a rookie and here he is 178 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: on another team, and you know, I wouldn't want to 179 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: rely on him like t J. Watt with the Steelers 180 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: or Khalil Mack. You know, I wouldn't want to rely 181 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: on him to be that kind of player, even von Miller. 182 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: But he's a talented player. I just I'm not going 183 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: to go our defense is based on his success. Yees, 184 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: Not only did Clowney just absolutely destroy that dude, knocked 185 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: his helmet off and came up with the ball too. 186 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Like it's about as perfect a play as you can have. 187 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if he had a has he had 188 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: a subsequent play that even comes close to that? Since that, 189 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: how many people even get that one? Know? He got one? 190 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: It was like Jefferson and Fast Times arigin Bald when 191 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: he's sitting the other team after they screw up his car. Yes, mclo. 192 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: But did you notice when he signed with the Titans, 193 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: Like the entire all summer we've been talking about Daveon Clowney. 194 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: If he had gone in the Saints, it'd be like 195 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: the number one story, but the Titans. People don't care 196 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: about the Titans, like the if they advanced, Everyone's were like, 197 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: nobody cares about this signing because Tennessee is so boring 198 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: or am I missing somebody here? Well, I don't think 199 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Tennessee gives you clicks. Yeah, they remember and they got 200 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: through the playoffs because they ran Derick Henry for like 201 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards. Yeah, well, you know, but 202 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: keep that in mind. You know, when it comes to 203 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: stories and how network or shows pick and choose, a 204 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: lot of times it has to do with what is 205 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: the most popular story out there, not the most important 206 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: story or the best story. It's what we'll get clicked. 207 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys are always in the news always. 208 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's contract is really about Dak Prescott. It is like, Okay, 209 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: it's nice Deshaun Watson got paid, but the different strategies 210 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: in the state of Texas, the Cowboys drag this out 211 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: and you go back to April of twenty nineteen. They 212 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: should have gotten this deal done. They should have paid 213 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: him thirty three, thirty four, even thirty five million dollars. 214 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: Then he's a bargain. Pay him now, move on, don't 215 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: look back. Every one of these quarterbacks they get paid, 216 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: you move on, and then you're going to look back 217 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: and go, oh, man, you got him for thirty four 218 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: and a half million dollars average, Oh, that was a 219 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: great deal. Instead with the salary cap lowering, you know, 220 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: with the NFL owners make losing money here, salary cap 221 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: goes down. Dak Prescott with all of these weapons, I'm 222 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: gonna guess is gonna have a pretty successful season adding 223 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: more leverage too. Well, you paid Deshaun Watson that, and 224 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: you paid Mahomes that. Now all of a sudden, Dak 225 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: Prescott is gonna probably ask and get thirty nine million 226 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: dollars a year unless they franchise tag him again. But 227 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: you bring in Mike McCarthy and you have weapons, you 228 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: draft Ceedee Lamb, still have a good offensive line, You 229 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: got a good running back. Dak Prescott should have a 230 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: great year and therefore add more leverage. Best and Worst 231 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: of the Weekend, Nick, and South Carolina leads us off 232 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: this hour. Good morning, Nick, what do you have for me? Hey? Two? 233 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: Best of the week I work in sports production, and 234 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: after six months I got to direct my curse production 235 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: and may have only been a high school football game, 236 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: but it felt really good to get back there and 237 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: start working again. Second best, I'm gonna go best and 238 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: worst of the weekend. The best was you called? The 239 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: worst was your phone line there? Nick? Sorry about don't 240 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: work in the audience department. No offense. Uh just had 241 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: a friend who sent me an email. Remember Michael Jordan 242 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five. Of course it always goes back 243 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: to Michael Jordan. He came back from his broken foot 244 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: and insisted at that he was going to play, and 245 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: he eventually put up sixty three points on the Celtics 246 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: in the playoffs that year. Huh oh, come on, it's 247 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: not the same Jordan coming back from a broken foot, 248 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: and people said, you can't risk it. Michael was risking 249 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: his career. Remember Grant Hill. Grant Hill fought so hard 250 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: to come back, and that was an ankle injury, wasn't it. 251 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: And he never fully came back an ankle and foot 252 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: and he never came back fully came back. I don't 253 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: know the Greek Freak's injury. I mean, it might just 254 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: be a sprained ankle. But still I don't want to 255 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: run the risk. I want him to know, you know what, 256 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: we want you for years and years to come. We 257 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: don't want to put you out there. We don't want 258 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: to run the risk of any of this. He's gonna 259 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: want to play, but I also as the coach, I 260 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: want to take the bullet for him. If he doesn't 261 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: want to play, that's when you say we made the 262 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: decision because I don't want him to be oh Greek 263 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: freak didn't want to play, or he didn't tough it out. 264 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: I got you gotta be smart in a situation like this. 265 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: Tobin in Florida joins us, Hey, Tobin, what's on your mind? 266 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: Sir Patrick, I dived down today. I am. Oh my god, 267 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. Can you Armie, Yes, 268 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: I can, Tobin. Oh goodness gracious. UM, I know maybe 269 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: it's a little off topic here. Um, I just you know, 270 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: let's sock some baseball. I would love. I'm a big fan, 271 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: not only of you, You're a god of the radio airwaves. 272 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: But I'm just going to get to it. I'm a 273 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: little nervous. I want to make an argument here, yes, sir, 274 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: as to why Nolan Ryan is quite possibly the greatest 275 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: picture of all time. Um, let's launch this, Toby. It 276 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: kind of comes out of left field there on the rundown, Dan, 277 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: we were going to break down Ola Ryan's place. No, 278 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: But like I appreciate you calling in, but it's it's 279 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: such a left turn. And then I'm gonna take a break. 280 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: And I got Peter King coming up. But I I 281 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: love Nolan Ryan. He's not the greatest picture of all time. 282 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: But but Tobin, thank you, thank you for calling in. 283 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure where we were going. That I break 284 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: his heart. He was He'd been waiting months to get that. No, 285 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: but it just wasn't. This isn't the time to be 286 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: talking about Nolan Ryan. He's an unbelievable picture statistically, what Tobin, 287 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: where were you in April where I needed things to 288 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: talk about? I got things to talk about when I 289 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: talked about Pedro Martinez for a couple of days. That's 290 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: when I needed you. Come on, Tobin, it's about me too. Yes, 291 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't even the best picture on his 292 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: own staff and Houston Jr. Richard, I'm just saying, oh, 293 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: yes time and Tobin just sent the note.

How about Nolan Ryan's birthday? Maybe 299 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: we talk about it. It's a little voice paid out. 300 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: Don't forget about one. Patrick Waugh best goalie. All right, 301 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: I'll say it's Secretariat, the greatest Horse. Yes, and it's 302 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: a little off topic.

Coming up 342 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: on Thursday. Peter King has already made his public NBC 343 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: Sports dot Com, NFL columnists, and of course the column 344 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: Football Morning in America. Do we do a drum roll here, 345 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: Pete for your super Bowl prediction? No? I think we 346 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: let we do an air coming out of the balloon 347 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: and a sad clown face. That's what we do for 348 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: this pick. Do you want do you already want to 349 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: redo on your Super Bowl pick? Oh? No, I'm very 350 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: happy with my Super Bowl pick. Nobody else is, but 351 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm quite happy, all right. And look look at Dan. 352 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: You know, the Kansas City Chiefs, uh, you know have 353 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: had a perfect offseason, perfect with the exception of DuVernay 354 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: tardif you know, opting out at guard, which is pretty naturally. 355 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: You can't be a doctor in the middle of a 356 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: pandemic or whatever his title is. And and and just say, hey, 357 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play football now. But I mean they 358 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: got twenty to twenty two starters back twenty of twenty 359 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: one coaches just they could be in for the long haul, 360 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: you know, for the next ten years, being a Super 361 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: Bowl contender. But you know, we could say that about 362 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: a lot of teams in the RECE had passed, and 363 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: fifteen consecutive teams have not repeated. So, although on September eighth, 364 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: I think the Kansas City Chiefs are the best team, 365 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: I didn't go with them, you know, I went with 366 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay over Baltimore. And you know, the Tampa Bay 367 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: thing is weird. I get it, but I'm ay. I've 368 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: been on the Tampa Bay BANDWI again since the day 369 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: Brady signed because Dan, look, the Bucks turned it over 370 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: forty one times last year. The last team to turn 371 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: it over forty one times or more was Cleveland the 372 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: year they went to win sixteen. And so for them 373 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: to have won seven games, and they should have won 374 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: nine because the last two games Winston through six in 375 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: or se ops. And you know, all they need is 376 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: an efficient quarterback to be pretty good, and I think 377 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: they have better than an efficient quarterback. What concerns do 378 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: you have with Tampa that, except for Brady and Gronk, 379 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: none of them have ever played deep into January and 380 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: relatively none of them. I haven't checked the roster, but 381 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: obviously they're inexperienced team that hasn't won deep into January. 382 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: That would definitely concern me. But does it concern me 383 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: enough to not pick them, No, not at all. What 384 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: about Baltimore? What concerns do you have? You know, Baltimore, 385 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: The biggest concern I have, I guess is that we 386 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: have not seen Lamar Jackson twice in the postseason play 387 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: a good game. You know, he's lost two games that 388 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: they were favored to win at home and he has 389 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: not played well in either games. So he's got to 390 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: do that. But you know, as I rode I said, 391 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: two games did not a trend make, at least in 392 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: my opinion. Now, you know, I still need to see 393 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: him do it. But I think their weaponry is fantastic. 394 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: If possible, they could even be even better running the 395 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: ball with JK. Dobbins and Ingram, you know, because JK. 396 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: Dobbins to me, getting picked fifty fifth or whatever he 397 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: was picked was, you know what a gift for the 398 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: Ravens still to be able to get him late in 399 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: the second round. Your surprise playoff teams, Let's start with 400 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: the NFC. Do you have a surprise, I'd say Detroit. 401 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: You know, look, halfway through the season, the Lions were 402 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: fourth in the NFL and total offense. They have a 403 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: great receiver group, they got Stafford, and then Stafford gets 404 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: hurt and the air goes out of the balloons. So 405 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think that they've got a chance, with 406 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: some defensive reinforcements in free agency, to be the second 407 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: best team in their division. I think they got a 408 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: chance to be better than Green Bay. I'm not positive, 409 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: but I did pick that, and in the AFC, I 410 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: picked the Raiders. I just think Mike Mayock has totally 411 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: gone to town trying to build the best team that 412 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: college football has to offer. You know, how many picks 413 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: has he made. I'd have to count him up. It's 414 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: like ten or eleven in the last two drafts from 415 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: great college programs. I'm not talking about in the seventh 416 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: round either. You know, he's put He's put his reputation 417 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: on the line with guys who have played great in 418 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: college at the best programs, and I'm kind of gambling 419 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: that that plus the speed of Henry Ruggs, gives him 420 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: nine or ten wins and gives them a playoff spot. 421 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: Finish his sentence. If the Packers don't make the playoffs, 422 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: it depends how Aaron Rodgers plays. I think he's going 423 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: to play well, but if he plays poorly, obviously they'll 424 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: be motivated to try to trade him. You know, Ryan 425 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: gudicunts and again I think he's a bright, young general manager. 426 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: And I don't hate that he picked Jordan Love. I 427 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: hate that he didn't give Aaron Rodgers any reinforcements at 428 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver. I simply don't understand it. You know, Aaron 429 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: Rodgers has to look at some of these teams. I mean, 430 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: imagine him, Imagine what he thinks when he looks at 431 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: the weapons that Brady has. I mean, other than Davante Adams, 432 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: he has none of those. And so I don't I mean, 433 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers still could play great, and I don't think 434 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: they would trade him, But if he plays poorly and 435 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: they win six games, I would say somebody can probably 436 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: come and get Aaron Rodgers more likely to make the 437 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: playoffs the Rams or Chargers. I would say the Rams 438 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: just because I mean both of them. Look, when's the 439 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: last time we could have said And I'm not positive 440 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: about this, but both Western divisions could be the best 441 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: division in each of their conference. You know that's horrible 442 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: grammar language, whatever, But the AFC West and NFC West 443 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: could be the two best teams and best divisions in football. 444 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: And I just think right now, I like, I like 445 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: what the Rams can do offensively just a little bit more, 446 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: even though I love Austin Ekeler and I like the weapons. 447 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: But Mike Williams enters the season damaged for the Chargers. 448 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: That's a really good question, Dan, But if I had 449 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: to pick one team to win nine games, I would 450 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: pick the Rams. It's no secret Jacksonville's tanking. I don't 451 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: know how you tank in the NFL. I mean, didn't 452 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: everybody one year ago today say, well, Chris Greer, Brian Flores, 453 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: they're tanking in Miami. Well they had a better record 454 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 1: than New England after Halloween. So I don't you know, 455 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is not going to get called into Dave 456 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: Caldwell's office the general manager and Caldwell say hey, listen, 457 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: we'll take care of you this year. But when you're 458 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: ahead late, you know, don't necessarily play great, you know, 459 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it just it doesn't happen that way. Now, 460 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: I understand that the Jaguars, you know, are bereft of 461 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: a lot of talent, but you never can tell what's 462 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: going to happen during the course of an NFL season. 463 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Would anybody have said that the Dolphins would have been 464 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: over five hundred after Halloween? I certainly wouldn't have. And 465 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: so that's why you can set yourself up for a 466 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: prime draft pick. But to say, yep, we're trying to 467 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: get that first pick in Trevor Lawrence, I think it's 468 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: relatively impossible. And let me go back to Miami. You've 469 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: got Miami making the playoffs. I like Miami this year. 470 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: I like, I mean, I just like a lot of 471 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: the young talent that they have. I think they're going 472 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: to be lifted on defense with two great acquisitions in 473 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: Kyle van Noy and Byron Jones. You know, again, so 474 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: much of this depends on how Fitzpatrick plays and when 475 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: two A plays, and I don't think anybody can predict that. 476 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: But right now I think they're They're an intriguing team. 477 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: And it's like what Parcels used to say, I go 478 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: by what I see, and what I saw late last 479 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: year was a team that had a rock rib defense 480 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: got better on defense, and I think it is going 481 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: to be good enough on offense. Not great, but good enough. 482 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: Cam in New England, you got Patriots making the plans. 483 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, but obviously it won't surprise me. It 484 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: won't surprise me if the Patriots win the division. I 485 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: think New England, Buffalo, or Miami, any of those three 486 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: could win the division. But I picked Miami to win it. 487 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: I picked Buffalo to be a wild card, and I 488 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: put my put New England out of it. Look, I 489 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: get that Cam is a great new weapon for them, 490 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: an incredibly opportunistic pick for late June to be able 491 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: to get this guy to be your quarterback. But a 492 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: couple of things haven't changed. They lost all four starting linebackers. 493 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: They're relying largely on the unknown at linebacker, a vital, 494 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: vital position in Bill Belichick's defense. And then you know 495 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: they still have, relatively speaking, you know, a bottom of 496 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: the league, a bottom quartile receiver group, tight ends and 497 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: wide receivers. So you know, how have they improved what 498 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus thought was the worst receiver group in 499 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: football last year? I mean, where is it? You know? 500 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't they haven't they haven't really. I mean, they've 501 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: added a couple of rookie tight ends, but to me, 502 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: they still have a lot of questions to answer. On offense, 503 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: How do you feel about Philip leading the Colts? Love it, 504 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: really love it. I think he's going to play well, 505 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons he'll play well 506 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: is that Frank Reich and the offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni 507 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: are going to put a game plan together every week. 508 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: That says this offense is as much about Marlon Mack 509 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor as it is about Philip Rivers. But 510 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: I think Rivers will play well. He won't feel the 511 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: same sort of pressure, I believe as he felt in 512 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: San Diego and then Los Angeles the last couple of years. 513 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: I think that running game could be special in Indianapolis. 514 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: He's Peter King NBC Sports dot Com NFL columnist, and 515 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: of course his column must read Football Mourning in America. 516 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: But he's so much more than that, revealing that when 517 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: he was at Ohio University he smoked a doobie with 518 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: the Doobie Brothers. Do you want to explain that people? 519 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, in my senior year we took turns 520 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: on the staff of the school paper, the Post at 521 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: Ohio University. We took turns covering the concerts when they 522 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: came into town. There were three or four of them 523 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: every year. Billy Joel came once, you know whatever. But 524 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: so the Doobies were there, and I really liked the 525 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: Doobie Brothers. So the year I was managing editor of 526 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: the paper that year, so I glommed onto that assignment 527 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: and I asked security if after the show, oh I 528 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: could interview Michael McDonald and Skunk Baxter backstage, And so 529 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,719 Speaker 1: I fully expected them to say no. And after the 530 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: concert they took me backstage. I talked to Michael McDonald 531 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: and Skunk Baxter and there was like eight people standing 532 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: in a circle backstage at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio, 533 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: and I just joined the circle, passing around to joint. 534 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: So that's the night I smoked a doobie with the 535 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: Doobie Brothers and interviewed Skunk Baxter and Michael McDonald. Is 536 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: there a chance you'll be put on the commit Ssner's 537 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: examplest for admitting that you sup? I certainly hope. So, 538 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: I certainly hope. So you know what I need an 539 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: image booster. And if I'm seen as a as a 540 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: as a you know, a weed head, I think I 541 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: would really help my image in public. Dan, you're a 542 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: pothead foker. I can't do it, Dan, I can't do 543 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: it anymore. I mean, I, well, geez, I haven't done 544 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: it since a little bit after college. But I don't know. 545 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: I just get that fast heartbeat. I just didn't appeal 546 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: to me anymore. Adam Schefter just reported that you've been 547 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: put on the commissioner's examp list. Wow, that that was quick, 548 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: all right, jeff D good to talk to you, Pete. 549 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time and good luck with your Super 550 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: Bowl picks. I agonize over this every year, Like I, 551 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: I wait until the last possible second. I talked myself 552 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: in and I talked myself out of things. I do too. 553 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: But I actually have done pretty well in recent years. 554 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: The last eight or nine years, I've been close on 555 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: quite a few. And last year I had three of 556 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: the final four. And whatever, so I I or two 557 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: years ago rather and so I don't know. Look, the 558 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: other thing is, Dan, have fun with it. Make people 559 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: pick some pick some team that nobody is picking, because 560 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: there's a decent chance that's going to happen. Not Jacksonville. No, 561 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: don't pick Jacks, But you know what, pick Tennessee. I really, 562 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: you know what, I really really like Tennessee. I don't know. 563 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: I think Tannehill is going to have another year where 564 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: he steers the ship, right. I love John H. Smith 565 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: at tight end. I love Arthur Smith as a play caller. 566 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: I think they're going to be good again. And adding 567 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney, although I think he's a bit overhyped, I 568 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: think that's a real good ad for them. Yeah. I 569 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: like the uh, I like that. I like Rabel. I think, 570 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, they're teams that kind of embody their coach 571 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: and that certainly don't Dan. You know, let me tell 572 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: you one quick thing before we get out. This was 573 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: one of the coolest things. I had a very abbreviated 574 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: training camp trip. I only saw four teams, but the 575 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: coolest thing I saw was Mike Vrabel looking like a 576 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: high school football coach, standing in the middle of the 577 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: field blowing the whistle for sprints, just like I mean, 578 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: that's what a high school football coach does. It wasn't 579 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning guy. It was Mike Vrabel. You 580 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: know lines of guys. You know, on the end line. 581 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: One group would go blow the whistle, the next group 582 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: goes blow the whistle, and Rabel talking to them the 583 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: whole time. It was just, you know, you see things 584 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: like that and you say, man, that is a guy 585 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: who runs everything in this program. Put on China Grove 586 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 1: and spark up. Peter, thank you, budd, Take care Dan. 587 00:34:55,080 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: That's Peter King, Dubie.

The Patriots weren't good after 598 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: in weeks nine through seventeen, they went four and four. 599 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: They're averaging twenty one points a game. The Bills went 600 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: five and four, averaging twenty points. Dolphins went five and four, 601 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: averaging twenty five points, and the Jets went six and three, 602 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: averaging twenty two points. I have no idea what to 603 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: expect with the Jets, but your two best defensive players 604 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: aren't playing this year. That is not a good start 605 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: for you. And I don't know what kind of weapons 606 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold has. Have the Jets seen enough of Sam 607 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: Darnold where they're going to offer him a contract extension 608 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: because I don't know if they have, And in fairness 609 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: to him, I don't know if he's had any kind 610 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: of arsenal of weapons there. And you're going into year three, 611 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't I don't know. I don't know 612 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: if it's a make or break year for him, but 613 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: without two of your two best defensive players, and I 614 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: just I don't like the talent around him. I mean 615 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: they went offensive line in the draft. Yeah, Polly, doesn't 616 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: it feel that if if Sam Darnold doesn't have a 617 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: good year, it'll be blamed on the team, not him, 618 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: Like he's not to blame for any struggles he has. Yeah, 619 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: last year in nineteen touchdowns at thirteen picks, there's nothing 620 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: wrong with that, just not that great one. Other guys 621 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: like my homes are going through. But he also missed 622 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,959 Speaker 1: considerable time with Mono. Yeah, I'm the club. I saw 623 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: his starting wide receivers Chris Hogan, Oh my god. Who 624 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: They just sort of picked up it halfway through the 625 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: off season. If you can't make the Patriots like that 626 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: right there with their lack of wide receivers, Hey, he's 627 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: not good enough to play for the Patriots, but hey, 628 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: come on in, Chris, play for the Jets. You can 629 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 1: be our number one guy. Let's go around the room. 630 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: Best and worst of the weekend toddles. Start with you 631 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: best by best to the Weekend Bucks. On Sunday, after 632 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: losing the Greek freak in the second quarter and for 633 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: the entire second half avoid getting swept by the heat, 634 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: they went in overtime one eighteen one fifteen Worst of 635 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: the weekend. Tennessee Football had a practice instead of a scrimmage, 636 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: saladly because forty four players were out, many of them 637 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: due to positive COVID nineteen tests or contact tracing. Just 638 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: two months ago, if you remember, coach Pruett told us 639 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: he was looking forward to one hundred thousand fans packing 640 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: the stadium. Well, you also had the athletic director Phil 641 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: Fulmer saying they were looking at having one hundred thousand fans, 642 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: and I said, I'll take the under, and I'd take 643 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: the way under. Now, I was watching Navy last night 644 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: against BYU, and they didn't allow the midshipman to go 645 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: to the game. But West Point did West Point allow 646 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: their cadets. They because they announced the attendance at the 647 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: Army's game as fifty two hundred. Yeah, it appeared that 648 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: most of the cadets got to space out in the 649 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: stadium Mikey Stadium at Army, but Navy didn't allow that. No, 650 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: I allo could see. There's a reason on that. Yeah, 651 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: I saw a couple. It looked like they probably had 652 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: a high rank that they were able to go watch 653 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: the game. Not that you wanted to stay too long 654 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: with that game. I don't know how good BYU is, 655 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: but Navy without my guy Malcolm Perry, it's not gonna 656 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 1: be good. Not gonna be good. And if I saw 657 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: where Perry made the Dolphins roster as a running back, 658 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: I think I had him third on my highsman ballot. 659 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: I loved him. There was no more exciting more valuable 660 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: player at the skill position than he was last year. 661 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow was spectacular. I do believe they would have 662 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: been successful if you had another quarterback in there Navy 663 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: with Malcolm Perry, they wouldn't. I don't know what they 664 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: would have been, but he was that spectacular. And maybe 665 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm down. You know, I'm underselling what Joe Burrow did, 666 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: but I think people don't realize what Malcolm Perry did 667 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: for Navy. He was he was wonderful. Mcclub and best. 668 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: Worse the weekend my best. I'm gonna go with my 669 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Lightning. Just getting sat down for some hockey 670 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: last night. They won eight two. It was seven to 671 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: one at some point. I love a hockey blowout. That's 672 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: just like I mean, I just were eight goals of 673 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: a playoff game. Wait, who wants to see a blowout 674 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: in Stanley Cup playoffs? Eight goals at a game because 675 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: I hate the home because every game you're able to 676 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: have it like one goal and then I want Doc 677 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: camera excited. So I have to admit I was following 678 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: the Flyers really closely last series. I didn't know it 679 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: was sudden death in the overtime of the playoffs as 680 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: a fan. That is because I don't think it is 681 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: during the regular season that is very tense. That is 682 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: a very tense situation. But anyway, fly, my worst UH 683 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: is going to be the men's tennis draw after Djokovic 684 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: whiter out. I can anybody name a men's tennis player 685 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: who was still alive in the US soup now that 686 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: Djokovic is out of there? Well, and I'm going to 687 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: talk about that coming up top of the hour I watched. 688 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: I did watch a match with the best player around 689 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: is a guy named Dominic Theme from Austria. And are 690 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: you making that up? No, I'm totally serious. He's he's 691 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: going to win the tournament. He's he's on fire right now. 692 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: But he's twenty seven, which is weird. We never heard 693 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: of him. It's a he's like he's a stand for 694 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: orinca type that. In other words, remember stan Varenka one 695 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: like four years ago. He's like the only guy who's 696 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: won besides the Big three. I did my research on this, 697 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: but Dad, don't even ask I have the draw in 698 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: front of me, you will not name a player in 699 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: a million years. Seaton O'Connor best worst the weekend the 700 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 1: Yankees have lost fourteen of nineteen? How does that happen? 701 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: That can be either your best or worst depending on 702 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: how you feel about the Yankees. Can we find out 703 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: the last time a Yankee team lost? For ethan? Can 704 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: you come up with the last that's when is the 705 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: last time the Yankees lost fourteen of nineteen? How can 706 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: you miss the playoffs this year? I think they're like 707 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: the eighth seed. This is the year. Everybody has a 708 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: chance to make the playoffs. Oh man, fourteen of nineteen? Okay, 709 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 1: what else you have seen? You know? What? To random thought? 710 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: Not really a best or worse? But I think I 711 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: like golf better without fans because you don't hear the 712 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: idiots say no, yeah, no, no. It's just not nearly 713 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: as fan dependent for energy or something. And I think 714 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,240 Speaker 1: at the Masters it is. I think it the Masters, 715 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: but nobody yells out getting the whole at the Masters 716 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: US Open. At Wingfoot, you'd have all those New Yorkers there. 717 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:20,399 Speaker 1: That probably wouldn't enhance the viewing pleasure. Pollie a couple 718 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: of good college football names for best and Worstan the 719 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: Weekend Best of the Weekend, Marshall Thundering Herd beat the 720 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: EKU beat ek D nine zero. Sorry heard running back 721 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: he's fastening. You're irrelevant. His name is Knowledge McDaniel ninety 722 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: three yards for Knowledge McDaniel. For the Herd and North 723 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: Texas rolled Houston Baptist fifty seven thirty one. But my 724 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: guys for Hugh Bap they have great names. Quarterback Bailey 725 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: Zap and running back Ian Beeke kept the Huskies in 726 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: the game. Bailey Zapp. I like when you get guys 727 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: who get together who have you know their last name, 728 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 1: and then their last name. They put them together and 729 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: then it creates somebody's name. Car and Wash like the 730 00:42:55,520 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: name each other. Knowledge McDaniel, Knowledge, McDaniel. I'm gonna sit 731 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: next to him in chemistry class.
