1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: What is up, straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Wednesday, December fourth. Oh boy, we got

4
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: some consternation over the college football playoff rankings. We'll get

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: to those shortly. The NBA Cup Quarterfinals are set. I

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: try to contain your excitement. I know some people are

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: trying to poopoo the NBA lately. Listen, the field ain't

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: that bad. I the Rockets, Warriors like, that's a good game,

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: Dallas OKC Oh my gosh, that's a really good game. Bucks, Magic, Nicks,

10
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: Hawks like it's I think the basketball is going to

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: be good. You guys can get on board if you

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: if you want or not, I don't really care. I

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: will just say one of the most interesting things I saw,

14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: and I've never heard of this is it's called the

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: Golden bat rule. I don't know if you guys are familiar.

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: So according to Major League Baseball, they are considering the

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 2: Golden bat rule. Now, that doesn't mean it's gonna happen,

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: but what is the Golden bat rule? Now, this is

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: one of the coolest things I've heard in a while.

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 2: According to the Golden bat rule, that any a team

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: will be able to choose one at bat in every

22
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: game to use their best hitter, regardless of where they

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: are in the lineup. So it could be like ninth inning,

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: one run game and like the eight hitters up, and

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: you could just say, hmm, now we're putting in Otani.

26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Now.

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: I know it's a little gimmicky, and I had a

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: buddy saying, like, listen, it sounds cool, but it is

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: very gimmicky, and it's weird because baseball's doing a lot

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: of stuff you could deem gimmicky. Right, There's that shift

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: that they banned an outlawed because it was it was

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: like such a smart defensive play people or outraged. They

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: add the pitching clock, which felt gimmicky, but now it's

35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: made baseball fast and much better. I mean, you go

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: to a game, it's bing bang boom, you're out of there,

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: so you don't have to worry about like a three

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: and a half hour gate. So I thought those two

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: things really have been awesome. Now golden bat is a

40
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: little bit much, but it can add potential excitement. Let's

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: just say you know you're down three runs and you

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: somehow get guys on late in the game, it's like,

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: wait a minute, this game's not over. They could just

44
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: put in their best hitter with the game on the line, Like,

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: isn't that kind of cool? And you never really think

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: about it. But in basketball, your best player is always available,

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: you know, as all hes doesn't foul out or get injured.

48
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: He's always in the mix, and you could go to

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: him in a clutch spot you're down twenty, I mean,

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: you ride him back. But in baseball you only get

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: one time through the lineup. I know that the old

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: purists are gonna be like, no way, this is stupid.

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you it seems cool, like game could

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: be thought to be over and then all of a

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: sudden you get decks. Wait a minute, wait a minute,

56
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: they got a shot. Oh Toddy's up basis load and

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna get to a TV. I think it's kind

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: of cool. I know people are gonna be down on it.

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm curious what your thoughts are. But I did see

60
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: the golden bat rule. Never heard of it in my life,

61
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: and I thought I would you just mentioned that at

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: the outset.

00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Now, I did do something interesting last night, So you

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: guys know, I try to be involved in the community.

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: My kids play sports. I obviously like a lot of sports,

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: and I know a lot of dads listen to this

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: and their kids are coming up. So a buddy of

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: mine used to be the commissioner of the local basketball league,

73
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: and he's a buddy. I know he listens, so I'm

74
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: not gonna hammer him here. He got into it with

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: the president of the local basketball board and it was

76
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: actually like during the championship game we played two years ago.

77
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get into what happened. It's irrelevant, but

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: I had no issue with what was going down, and

79
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, I was fine with it. But the commissioner

80
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: was like, those are against the rule, blah blah blah,

81
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: and I was like whatever. So they kind of bounced him,

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: and they knew I was into it, and my buddy

83
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: kind of recommended me, Hey, this guy would do it,

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, fine. So I was the

85
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: commissioner last year and it wasn't that bad because it

86
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: was just seventh grade. You know, I know the lay

87
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: of the land, all we know, all the dad whatever,

88
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: all the players. But this year turnout was a little

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: low for seventh grade. My kid's in eighth grade, so

90
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: they combined seventh and eighth grade, and so now it's like, WHOA,

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: I don't know a ton of seventh graders. I got

92
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: a kid who's a sixth grader and I know all

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: her friends and a lot of sixth graders. I don't

94
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: know anybody seventh grader. So I'm like kind of starting

95
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: from scratch. And I do have a buddy who actually

96
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: played basketball Perdue and we played together and he ended

97
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: up getting an injury. We're not going to talk about that.

98
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: He's fine now, this was like three years ago, and

99
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: so I reached out to him for support and leaned

100
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: on him, and he's like, just giving you a heads up.

101
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: I was the commissioner of this league last year. I'm

102
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: not getting I'm not even in league that I refuse

103
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: to do it dealing with these guys. They are knucklehead,

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: they're insufferable, blah blah blah, and folks, I'm just telling him,

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: just as a dad, as a heads up, if you

106
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: take on this role of commissioner. You're gonna it's it's brutal.

107
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 2: And I will say I've had major stress just leading

108
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: up to this, the emails, the arguments, the wise my

109
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: kid rated here, he should be lower. It's funny. Everybody

110
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: loves their kid as a player, and then when it

111
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: comes draft time, No, no, no, he's way down. No no,

112
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: he's not that high, you know, because they want to

113
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: get more players and the best players want to team up.

114
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: It's just brutal. So we had it last night. We

115
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: had a couple famous people and we have a couple

116
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: famous dat Wow. Famous is a relative word. There is

117
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: a high profile sports media agent in the league. There

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: is a someone from an NBA front office in the league.

119
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: It's a pretty over overwhelmingly a friendly group of guys.

120
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: But man, these guys are getting after each other. And

121
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: it is like, luckily I had to step in as

122
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: and I'm not doing it next year. I told her

123
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: this is my last, not Lasco. I can't deal with

124
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: this crap. And even my wife was like, why are

125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: you so stressed out about this? And I'm like, listen,

126
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: I love hoops. You know. We won the title two

127
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: years ago. We lost by one last year and it

128
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: just was a gutting defeat. But anyways, you know, that's

129
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: just a peak into the life of j mack as

130
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: I and I think you guys kind of like that stuff.

131
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: It's like when Rob G and I rob you not

132
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: here he's obviously dealing with a newborn and when we

133
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: chop it up. You guys like that cross talk as

134
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: they call it in the industry. But anyways, the big

135
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: story is obviously in sports today is college football, and

136
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: people are outraged. Obviously, listen, if the committee were smart,

137
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: you know what they do. They throw in a little

138
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: curveball somewhere, a little wrinkle, just so that people are talking.

139
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: And I guarantee you to this morning, this after this

140
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: is going to be the big talking point. As nothing

141
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: has really happened in the NFL. This is the huge

142
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: talking point. What the hell is Alabama doing in there?

143
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Nine and three? Alabama gets the final spot for now okay,

144
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: this is the second to last rankings. Alabama gets the

145
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: second to last spot and Miami gets pushed to twelve. Miami,

146
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: of course has two losses. They just lost at Syracuse.

147
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: Alabama has three. Alabama suffered a brutal loss a few

148
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: weeks ago to Oklahoma. I mean, you got embarrassed twenty

149
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: four to three. At least Miami's losses were close. They

150
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: lost to Georgia, Tech and Syracuse by combined nine points.

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: But where the Committee is giving Miami a slap on

152
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: the wrist and kind of penalizing them is that Miami

153
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: is zero to one against teams that are currently ranked.

154
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: Alabama's calling card is, hey, we're three and one against those,

155
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: and of course they got the big win over Georgia.

156
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean they got kind of lucky in that one,

157
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: but whatever, and then teams over five hundred, Alabama's six

158
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: and one and Miami's only four and two. Now, listen,

159
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: that's cherry picking some stats. Obviously, you could find others

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: to bolster Miami's case. But where it really sucks is

161
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: the committee said we will not be reordering teams that

162
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: do not play this weekend. So Miami screwed. There's no

163
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: way anyway. Now, even if there's chaos, Miami screwed. Let's

164
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: say Oregon loses to Penn State, doesn't matter. Both are

165
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: gonna make it now. The interesting one is SMU Clemson.

166
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: SMU is you know, a pretty good team there would

167
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: be the third seed right now, and I'm almost certain

168
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: that a big college football fans can't name three guys

169
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: on SMU. That being said, fun side note, Matt Liinert,

170
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: who works at Fox. I know him, you know, good dude.

171
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: His son signed with SMU, so he's going to be

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: headed to SMU next fall or two years to now.

173
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: I believe his son is junior. I think cole Lionerd's

174
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: his name. I played hoops with him. He's pretty freaking

175
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 2: good at hoops. But so if SMU loses to Clemson,

176
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: then the discussion becomes does SMU have a case to

177
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: get there or stay in over Alabama? At Alabama gets bounced,

178
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: so that could happen. But I will say this, the

179
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: way the committee set it up, how tasty is this?

180
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: Alabama and Penn State in the first round. That is

181
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: exactly what the committee wants. Well, Alabama doesn't deserve it,

182
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: but they're Alabama, so let's just shove them in there

183
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: at eleven. Oh and look, they got to play Notre Dame.

184
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: I mean, wouldn't you know it, the fighting Irish who

185
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 2: are good but not amazing. And Alabama wins that game

186
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: and everybody's like, see that's why, Yes, hec needs four

187
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: or five teams. That's what it's setting up. As now.

188
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: The game would be at Notre Dame, and I'm sure

189
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: you guys saw over the weekend it was snowing in

190
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: South Bend. It will be cold. That does not favor Alabama.

191
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: We saw how bad they looked at Oklahoma in a

192
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: cold weather game. I don't know that. I don't know

193
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: that that's a great matchup for Alabama, but it's the

194
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: brand name Alabama, and you know people are going to Alabama.

195
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame will be the most watched game opening weekend Tennessee.

196
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: Ohio State will be certainly close. Again, these are just

197
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: the matchups for now. Indiana and Georgia. That's an interesting one.

198
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: I don't have a line. I haven't seen one because

199
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: it might not even happen, but I would guess Georgia's

200
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: at least I mean, Ohio State was a two touchdown favorite.

201
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: I would guess Georgia at home is laying at least fourteen.

202
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: That would be a pure guess. But as of now,

203
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: Alabama over Miami has got some people kind of worked out.

204
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: Miami's defense stinks, but they have cam Ward who is

205
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks in the country. I think

206
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: he leads a country in touchdown passes and they could

207
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: score with anybody in their front and they're the you

208
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: they're Miami, but the committee has kind of done them

209
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: dirty here, and I don't see a path for Miami

210
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: to move up. They're not playing this weekend. And even

211
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: if let's say Clubson BETSMU, how is Miami getting in, Like,

212
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: who would have to lose? Ohio State's not playing this weekend.

213
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: Tennessee's not playing this weekend. I guess you could try

214
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: to argue if Penn State gets blown out by Oregon,

215
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: is there a case that Penn State should not be in.

216
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: I don't. I can't imagine that they're gonna bounce Penn State,

217
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: but I suppose it's possible. Is there a world where

218
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: if Georgia loses the SEC title game, does Georgia maybe

219
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: get bounced from the playoff again? Everybody thinks george is

220
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: probably gonna win. It is Georgia Texas well. Actually, no,

221
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: I take that back. Texas is favored by two and

222
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: a half. Interesting, Oregon's only three and a half. I

223
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: have not bet any of the games yet, but that

224
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: Oregon line feels way light. It is indoors Lucas Oil Stadium.

225
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: That's a huge edge for Oregon Georgia, Texas at the

226
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: Atlanta Mercedes Benz Stadium, I think that Georgia will probably

227
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: have the larger crowd there. That would be my guess.

228
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: Iowa State versus Arizona State. I guess you could argue

229
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: if Arizona State's currently in the field, maybe Iowa State

230
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: wins that dude, they yeah, they would get in as

231
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: the as the big thief. It's it's bleak out there, folks.

232
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: For Miami, you gotta feel feel for the Hurricanes. But

233
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: then again, like Gay, don't lose to Syracuse. You know

234
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: that Syracuse ain't even great.

Speaker 1: listen live.

239
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: I do want to quickly pivot to a topic that

240
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: I touched on on the Herd, and I'm you know,

241
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: we're getting close to the end of the football season,

242
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: so really only a bunch of teams matter. There's some

243
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: coaching positions that are interesting, but I circle to Jacksonville

244
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: Jaguars as interesting and here's why. So they signed that

245
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 2: big deal to Trevor Lawrence in the offseason, and I

246
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: am a Trevor Lawrence guy. He has underwhelmed. He's been good,

247
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: but not great. I don't see how you can say

248
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray's had a better career in the pros than

249
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. But I'm sure some people would argue that.

250
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: You know, people cherry pickstats and say, look, Trevor Lawrence

251
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: is as good as Daniel Jones, which is just nonsense.

252
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: But where it gets interesting is that website I told

253
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: you guys about Tankathon. They do the NFL draft order,

254
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: and currently Jacksonville is one, winning the tiebreaker against Vegas.

255
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: Then the Giants lose the tiebreaker their third, then New

256
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: England is fourth. Why is this interesting? Well, if you

257
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: look at Jacksonville Jacksonville schedule the rest of the way,

258
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: and remember, Trevor Lawrence just got concussed. I don't think

259
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: they announced him on IR but the guess from everybody

260
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: is he ain't gonna be back anytime soon. What are

261
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: we doing. Jacksonville has a big game at Tennessee this weekend.

262
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: I know Tennessee just got bludgeoned by Washington. But I'm

263
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: probably gonna be on Tennessee in this game. After that,

264
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: Jacksonville is against the New York Jets at home. I

265
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: don't know if Aaron Rodgers is gonna be the QB

266
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: at that point. In two weeks, then they have a

267
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: huge game with the Raiders in Vegas, in a game.

268
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: Let's be real, everybody knows Doug Peterson's gone. Is Antonio

269
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: Pierce fighting for his job in Vegas? He might be. Now,

270
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: you could argue the organization will want Peers to lose

271
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: that game. He don't want to lose games. They're fighting hard.

272
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: They merely beat the Chiefs. If Jacksonville loses to Vegas,

273
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: they get Tennessee again. Tennessee's not good, but they will.

274
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: Levis did better than mac Jones, I'm sorry. And then

275
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: they close it out with Indy. I don't think Indy

276
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: will be in the playoff mix at that point. We'll

277
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: see what happens. Indy plays a big one against Denver

278
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: in two weeks, with essentially the final playoff spot at stake.

279
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: But that schedule, those are five teams all with losing records.

280
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: Jacksonville stinks their defense is horrendous. They lost their top cornerback.

281
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: I think Lawrence is gonna be shut down. What happens

282
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: if Jacksonville gets the number one pick. This will be

283
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: the third time in five years. Is there a world

284
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: where Jacksonville says, we don't want to trade the pick,

285
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: we want to reset our quarterback clock. We want Shadoor Sanders,

286
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: and we want our coach, we want Dion Sanders. And

287
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: they start pushing the narrative. Hey, we're not the the

288
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: London Jaguars anymore. No, no, no, we are the Jacksonville

289
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: Jaguars with Chadure and Dion. And by the way, if

290
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: you looked at the ratings for their games over the

291
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: last two years, they were big, they were a draw.

292
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: Jacksonville will be getting big time games and you've got

293
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Schadure and Dion. Now. I don't know if there's a

294
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: big enough nucleus for them to do anything immediately, but

295
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: I put this out there I talked about on the Herd,

296
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: and all these people are like, oh, nobody wants Trevor Lawrence.

297
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: And that's where I'm like, guys, this is why social

298
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: media makes people stupider. Oh I just said stupider. That

299
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: sounds tough. This is why social med makes people dumber.

300
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Nobody wants Trevor Lawrence. Are you kidding me? Just because

301
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: he's been good? Not great? And underwhelmed? You're telling me

302
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: the Jets in a heartbeat would not give a trade

303
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: for Trevor Lawrence. In a friggin heartbeat. You're telling me

304
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans would not bend over backwards to steal

305
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: a guy in their own division. They would. Now, I

306
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: don't think Jacksonville will do the trade with the Titans,

307
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: but the Vegas Raiders, if they don't get the number

308
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: one pick, they could use Trevor Lawrence in a second.

309
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: Then you look in the NFC, Well, the New York

310
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: Giants have nobody. You think Brian Dabele is not gonna

311
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: be like, please get me Trevor Freakin Lawrence. Guys, now,

312
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: Dabe would do it in a second. And then you

313
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: look down the New Orleans Saints. They're not gonna be

314
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: in a position to draft a quarterback. Derek Caring' the dude?

315
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: Why why won't you go Trevor Lawrence? What about Seattle?

316
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: Geno Smith? I really Trevor again. Trevor Lawrence was talked

317
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: about in the same breath as Andrew Luck. Now I

318
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: know he has not lived up to that, but he

319
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: will have. His next coach will be his third in Jacksonville.

320
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: It's a poorly run organization. They don't have a lot

321
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: of talent. They have not drafted particularly well. A fresh

322
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 2: start for Trevor Lawrence, Oh my gosh. People would be

323
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: running over men, women and children to bring him to

324
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: their franchise. Those guys don't hit the market. Remember there

325
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: was a market for Kirk Cousins when he left Washington.

326
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: People were clamoring for Kirk Cousins. Trevor Lawrence is a

327
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: better quarterback than Kirk Cousins. Nobody would argue that. Now

328
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: Cousins may have better stats, but nobody would argue that

329
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins a better quarterback than Trevor Lawrence. That's just

330
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: not a thing that exists. I think that at least

331
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: six teams, probably closer to eight to ten. I mean

332
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: some You want a really hot take, what if the

333
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine er said we will take Trevor Lawrence.

334
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: We will give you Deebo Samuel and picks and shit

335
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: will Brandon and I don't care. We will get off dudes,

336
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: just so we could get into Trevor Lawrence business. I mean,

337
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: it's tough to find a quarterback. Trevor Lawrence is still

338
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: a young guy. No, he had a rough season with

339
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: the injuries and the concussion, but man take him in

340
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: a second. And oh, by the way, the Rams have

341
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford, and you know Stafford's had his moments, but

342
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: he's getting dinged up. No, not a lock that he

343
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: plays this week, by the way, not a lock against

344
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills in a game out here at so far.

345
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: So I think the Rams would make a push. Remember

346
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: the Rams had Jared Goff and moved off him for

347
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford. The forty nine ers went to a Super

348
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo and then said, we want to

349
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: trade up for Trey Lance. Like, guys think that they

350
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: can do anything in this league with any quarterback they get.

351
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 2: So this idea that Trevor Lawrence if the Jags. Now.

352
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: The alternative is the Jags could just trade the number

353
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: one pick. But I think a lot of teams will

354
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: be suspicious of doing that when you look at what

355
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 2: the Bryce Young deal did to Carolina set them back. Now,

356
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: Young has played better in the last few weeks. But

357
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: this idea that he was worth that massive haul, No way,

358
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: that was a horrendous deal in hindsight. And I mean

359
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: I cannot in any way, shape or form say, you know, hey,

360
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: maybe there's a discussion to be had between CJ. Stroud

361
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: and Bryce Young. After all, I wasn't wrong when I

362
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: said Bryce Young is washed, He's gonna be out of

363
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: the league in three years. I was just, you know,

364
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: I was just a little bit off because he looked terrible,

365
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: and maybe he is better than CJ. Stroud, you know,

366
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: Like I mean, c J. Stroud is having a rough

367
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: year now, his offensive line is terrible. But Young his

368
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: kind of sort of turned it around. We know Canalis

369
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: is the quarterback whisperer. Bryce Young got benched. It was

370
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: a bit of, I guess, a wake up call. And

371
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: he looks way better, I know, by the way. They

372
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: just traded his best receiver, Deontay Johnson. They dumped him,

373
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: and now it looks like Baltimore's like, oh, no, wonder,

374
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: this guy can't stick anywhere. But like what if like

375
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: Bryce Young's throwing to Xavier Legette, Jacob Kocher, Adam Thielen,

376
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 2: like you gotta be kidding me. Young is doing some

377
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: big time things, so yes, he's starting to look better,

378
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: but that trade still reeks, and it's taken Carolina a

379
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: while to recover from that. You know, Young obviously terrible

380
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: last year. They're awful this year. There's no playoffs in

381
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: sight for this team now. The division stinks. So I

382
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 2: guess theoretically you could argue, hey man, there are a

383
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: couple free agent moves away from getting totally in the mix. Maybe,

384
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I just think that that's an

385
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: interesting next level conversation. Vegas clearly wants that pick. The

386
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: problem is Antonio Pierce. I don't think wants to go

387
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: two and fifteen. He's trying, The Vegas is trying. They

388
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: just don't have a quarterback. The Giants. I don't know

389
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: what the hell's going on there, Guys, I have no

390
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: freaking clue. They say Day Bowls safe. But it's funny.

391
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: If you look at all the teams drafting in the

392
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: top twelve, all of them are on losing streaks, either

393
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: one or more games. The Bears have lost six in

394
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: or remember the Bears were four and two. People were

395
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: all giddy. Yeah, NFL's got some really rotten teams at

396
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: the bottom. And yes, my Jets are lurking. They are lurking,

397
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: kind of sort of in the mix, chasing the number

398
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: one pick. All right, that's it for today by poor

399
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: Miami Hurricanes. I feel so bad for them. NBA Cup

400
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: is starting to get exciting. College football playoff. We got

401
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: a great guest tomorrow to break down week fourteen. Oh

402
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: my gosh, we're already there.

403
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: Talk to you tomorrow.
