I really thought we would 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: use that story, and then Small Time, and then it 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: was Gunner. 22 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 4: Set this a tweet that said, I agree that story 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 4: has been told before you told it. I've told the 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 4: story before, but never to Harmin. 25 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: No. Harmon believes he's heard it multiple times.

Yes, the well long 38 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: short search depending on who you believe in terms of 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: this timeline and the little bits and pieces that have 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: dribbled out over the last couple of weeks, the firing 41 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 3: as Sharon Moore back on December tenth. December twelfth, Winningham, 42 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 3: the new coach, left Utah saying I'm entering the transfer portal, 43 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 3: not I'm retiring. 44 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 4: Why did it take so long for them to hire him? 45 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 5: Though? 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think you're doing your due diligence to a degree. Right, 47 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 3: you're trying to see what else when you pick up 48 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 3: another rock is underneath it. 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 5: Like the boards. 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: I mean, was that really a possibility had he lost 51 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 4: that game? 52 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 3: Well? Not just coaches though, aren't he? I mean, you're 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 3: also if you're winning him, you're asking a lot of questions. 54 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 3: So I don't know how long he'd been talking to them. Obviously, 55 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: Scally was named the coach in waiting going back to 56 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 3: last season before they entered. 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 4: I thought he left Utah to take that Michigan John. 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 5: I thought all along, that's that's what he was doing. 59 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 3: But certainly that is part of the speculation, right when 60 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: how who? What? Why? Where? But part of it was 61 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: at some point for the university, you might lose your 62 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: coach in waiting because they get tired of waiting. 63 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: Right. 64 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: In this case, it was only a year. But we've 65 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: seen that in a number of circumstances where you've had 66 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: a guy waiting around, going this guy's never gonna leave, 67 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: is he? He likes it here, and then the assistant 68 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: goes and takes a job somewhere else. We've seen it 69 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: in basketball, we've seen it in football, and it's happened before, 70 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: but here with Utah, you're also talking about a change 71 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: where you're bringing in this other money initiative in terms 72 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: of how things are going to be funded and run 73 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: going forward. That maybe winning him looking at the landscape 74 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: wasn't too keen on. So there's a lot of moving parts, 75 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: but certainly the more firing followed by his entering the portal. Sure, 76 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: the timing says, okay, this was in the offing, but 77 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: in terms of announcing it, I gotta imagine on winning 78 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: side now, there's no hint of scandal for him, nothing 79 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: in his past. Right. The word that showed up most 80 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: in any write ups I've seen is integrity keeps being 81 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: brought up. 82 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: But yeah, by the way, you keep saying that you know, 83 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 4: or people keep saying that he wasn't gonna have a 84 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 4: chance to win it Utah like Ukenna Michigan. Is it 85 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 4: Utah or BYU? I thought maybe it was BYU that 86 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: gets a lot of money, was it from the hotel 87 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 4: chains and stuff like that. They they they get big 88 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 4: time money that gets donated to them for nil, So 89 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 4: I'm not so sure. 90 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 5: That that's on the same page. They do get a 91 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 5: lot of money. 92 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, BYU's got it. You know, a bunch of 93 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 3: corporate sponsorships and other things. When we talk about the 94 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 3: Utah side of things, there was a private equity company 95 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: that was coming in, and that gets very complicated and 96 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 3: kind of weirds people out because it's the new iteration, right, 97 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: the business of college sports as opposed to you know, 98 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: once upon a time people bury their head in the 99 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 3: and said, isn't it all golly g everybody's just playing 100 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 3: for the love of the game, which we knew was 101 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: garbage for decades. Right, people were getting paid satchels of 102 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 3: cash were being passed under the table and smiled, and 103 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 3: we just kept moving on. 104 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 5: That happened all the time. We just never said anything. 105 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 3: No, but that's it. It was the dirty underside to 106 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: it all, and we move on. And now you have 107 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: one after another people that are no longer associated with 108 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 3: a school going, oh yeah, we used to do this 109 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 3: all the time, or talk about the middlemen that were used. 110 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 3: Some try to do the plausible deniability. I didn't have 111 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: any idea because you had fifteen middlemen, so you might 112 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: have ordered a very nebulous code read and how it 113 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 3: got executed did matter as long as the guy was 114 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 3: there for practice and for the weight training sessions each week. 115 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: But where we're at with Winningham is I think partially 116 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: on his side. One, You're trying to negotiate and see 117 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: how desperate Michigan is to have you, because you had 118 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: a lot of other names passed through, some current coaches, 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: some former coaches, debor you mentioned him. Well, if the 120 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: Alabama had lost, might that have put the machine in motion? Maybe? 121 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 3: We certainly saw Brahm's name out there. We saw so 122 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 3: many fish jed fish right after after there. 123 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 4: He wasn't gonna get the job because he's a Michigan 124 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 4: guy though, right. 125 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: Well, but that but that begs it. Well. But but 126 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: I ask you, and I put this out as a 127 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 3: if I'm the board of trustees and I'm looking at 128 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: what we've had at Michigan the last couple of years, 129 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: and yes, you've got a national title that's not being 130 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: taken away. But in the aftermath, you had suspensions, right, 131 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 3: Sharon Moore missed multiple games, You had a lot of 132 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: people looking around the program. And the Sharon Moore situation 133 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 3: that is currently going on, uh seem seemingly, or at 134 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 3: least for the most part, is a private private issue 135 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 3: and an institutional issue when you start talking about the 136 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: job and the pay raise and. 137 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 4: All that, how does that end for him? 138 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: By the way, Well, he's gonna end up in jail 139 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 3: based on the charges. But even if he doesn't, like 140 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: you know, folks were making the equivalents of well, this 141 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: guy got caught in an affair of that and he 142 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: got a new job. He didn't put a knife to 143 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 3: anybody's neck, right, And you're right about that, Sharon Moore 144 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: did all right. That is on the record, that is 145 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: not disputed. So all of that to say, when when 146 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: we look at the last couple of weeks, if I'm 147 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: winning him and I'm the that team, like, all right, 148 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: what else is under there? Right? What else is coming 149 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: down the python? Does the NC double A or the 150 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: last vestiges? Is there anything where they get involved again 151 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 3: to where there might need to be more sanctions that 152 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: hamper what I'm going to try to build for you. 153 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: If not, your point about the Michigan Man, which is 154 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: something I brought up earlier in the show, is really 155 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: I think where you want to go, you don't want 156 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: a guy that's tied to what's gone on these last 157 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: couple of years even though there's a bunch of wins 158 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: in the harborire. I'm young enough to remember or old 159 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: enough to remember, depending on your perspective, that when people 160 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: were trying to call for Jim Harbaugh's head, it's like 161 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: your team hasn't been relevant in three years and with 162 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: one or two outliers of Lloyd Carr was what three 163 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: decades ago, It's like otherwise, you've been a middling team 164 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: for a long time. So a guy winning eight nine 165 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 3: games a year is pretty damn good. And then he 166 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: goes and gets your title. 167 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 4: And there's plenty of Michigan men also, they're just not 168 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: the head coach. They're all the nil guy, you know 169 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 4: what I mean. Well, but that now they're coming to 170 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: the they come out of the woodworks. They donate money, 171 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 4: like the Tom Brady's that got Underwood to go to 172 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: school there, Like Troy Aikman was telling his story about 173 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 4: how he gave money and didn't get a thank you. 174 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: Now it's Troy Aikman the guy that becomes Because I 175 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: love films. We've heard the Colin Coward promo where he's 176 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: bringing up pulp fiction. Let me go to another Tarantino movie. Yeah, 177 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: Troy Aikman, the former athlete who cut the big check, 178 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 3: however big it was, and said, I didn't get a 179 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: thank you. I'm done with nil. Is he the mister 180 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: pink of nil donors? And everybody out there's laughing. Y'all 181 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: remember the restaurant scene where he makes the pitch against 182 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: tipping and then finally you got Chris, But you know what, 183 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: I want my dollar back. Maybe Troy Aikman starts a 184 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: trend where you got former athletes, it's the business owners 185 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: to go, yeah, I didn't get a thank you either, 186 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: and I translate to win, So screw that. I'm done. 187 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 4: I read something where the kids don't know where the 188 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 4: money comes from, so they couldn't thank him anyway. 189 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: Well, but I understand that on a one to one basis. 190 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 3: It still seems to me that if you're UCLA or 191 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 3: insert your own school here, when you've got a guy 192 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: of that level of prominence, a Hall of Famer multiple 193 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: times in the Super Bowl, number one, pick all of 194 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: that stuff, someone's probably telling you to take five seconds 195 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: to sign a greeting card that goes out to a 196 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: group of donors and collect if that helped you out here, 197 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: record a message saying thank you for the financial inducement 198 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: to get you to sign on the dotted line and 199 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: become a member of the UCLA program. Even if you 200 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: have some voiceover actor, say Troy, that you would get 201 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: something in the mail to say thank you for the 202 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 3: millions of dollars or fifty cents whatever you gave to 203 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: help to that contracy. 204 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 5: Give to Northwestern, right. 205 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: I give them a couple of bucks every year. I 206 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 3: designated more for the academic the library side. 207 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 5: Oh yes, I'm sure. 208 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: No, No, there's plenty. Look, there's plenty of guys. I mean 209 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 3: you could see them in and I'm not going to 210 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 3: name them here because sometimes they do us harm in 211 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: terms of the Northwestern brand when they associate themselves with it. 212 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 3: And I'll let you all speculate who they are because 213 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: he went to the same school, is that guy? Like, yeah, 214 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: I did anyway, But it's it's the kind of things 215 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: like they've got plenty of money there. My thing is 216 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: to keep the institution as a whole doing its thing, 217 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 3: and they've got a huge endowment. So my extra couple 218 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: of cents probably goes towards watering a flower on the 219 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: fourth floor. But all of that to say that if 220 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 3: you are cutting a big check, I don't think it 221 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: takes much from a collective to have someone in the 222 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: secretarial pool or administrative assistant or whatever the job title 223 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: is the student helper to print out a bunch of 224 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 3: cards and take them to the requisite three people to 225 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 3: have them sign. Hey, Bryce, I need you in here. 226 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: Like at Michigan, Bryce, I need you in here for 227 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 3: a half hour. You're gonna need to sign a few 228 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: cards to people that donated. Okay, for a couple million bucks, 229 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: that's the least you can do. 230 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: But my thing is this, why do they even need 231 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 4: a couple of bites? 232 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: Do you know what? 233 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 4: Like you brought up a good point. What was Michigan endowment? 234 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: How much money you think that school has? 235 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: Well, but that's that's different though. I mean that that sits. 236 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: It's valued to like twenty billion billion. 237 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 3: Dollars, But it's not. It's not that, hey, we can 238 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: start siphoning off to pay off a couple of college 239 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 3: football players. 240 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 4: Well, the idea somebody's there for spending for improvement. 241 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: But generally, again it becomes the board of trustees deciding 242 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: how because that each one of those covenants is going 243 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: to be written differently as to how that money can 244 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 3: be used. 245 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 5: I understand that like a picky. 246 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 3: Bank of hey, we want a new quarterback that the 247 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 3: other is not shiny enough for us, so we need 248 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: to go no, no, Hey, we had an earthquake and 249 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: a bunch of our buildings got ruined. We need to 250 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: and insurance is only covering so much as to what 251 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: we want to rebuild, bigger, faster, struggle. 252 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: But athletes, athletes probably are the biggest donors to a university. 253 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 5: I would assume, Oh, I don't know that. 254 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: Oh I think, I think, I think there might be. 255 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 3: It depends on the institution, you know, and what you 256 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 3: got out of it, and depending Uh. Yeah, I wouldn't 257 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: go quite that far. But but certainly in this particular case, 258 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: as we're talking about the Troy Aikman, a little viral 259 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: ra that getting someone to send a thank you card 260 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 3: doesn't seem like too tough a business and bad job 261 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 3: by everybody at UCLA. Of course, they'd already shown and 262 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: demonstrated on multiple occasions they don't know what the hell 263 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: they're doing in many regards. 264 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 4: Do you think Whittingham is somehow gets Underwood to come 265 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: back to Michigan or is that bridge already burned? 266 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 3: No, I think look it's he might be burned and 267 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 3: singed a little bit by. 268 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 4: I think he's gone because I think he wants I 269 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: don't think he's happy with the way he played. I 270 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 4: think he's looking to go to the SEC. 271 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: Well, the potential is there, but where's he going in 272 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 3: the SEC? 273 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 4: Well? 274 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: I do like that, yeah, but if that doesn't work, okay, So. 275 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 5: I'm sure there's plenty of schools I would love to have. 276 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that you wouldn't take the shot, but 277 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: do you already have your guy in place? As the 278 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 3: portal starts on January second? Which is why as you've 279 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: got this Winningham was heading down to Florida, where their 280 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 3: Michigan's is in preparation for the Citters Bowl against Texas, 281 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: to go meet the family's glad hand and try to 282 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: keep as many of his would be returning twenty two 283 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: out of the portal. 284 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 4: I guess he's not going to bring a lot of 285 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 4: Utah players with him. 286 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: I guess, well, it remains to be seen. 287 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 4: Right, it was a quote about that, I thought, sure, 288 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: but what. 289 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: Is said in what happens in practice? Because I'm sure 290 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: a lot of those guys with the fact that it 291 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 3: is a transition. Well sure, but there's also the fact 292 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 3: that there is a transition to someone who's been in 293 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: house in scaley, who's been at the program, so they 294 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: know what they're dealing with. Right. It's not a wild 295 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 3: card coach coming in as you might have another situation. 296 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: Doesn't mean that the guy who's the coordinator and position 297 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: coach is anywhere near the same once he's the top guy. 298 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: We've seen that hundreds, if not thousands of times, and. 299 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 4: Now we handles the Ohio state rivalry because it's not 300 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 4: like Utahn BYU, even though that's a pretty big rivalry, 301 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 4: also is on the same scale. 302 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: No, I think some of it is you're blessed to 303 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: uh to know what you don't know. It's huge, but 304 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: until you're in it. And the other thing is he's 305 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 3: not a kid, right we thought, but we thought and 306 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 3: some folks have taken it as a negative. I don't 307 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: think they're looking for a twenty year coach. I think 308 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: they're looking for a guy to get them out of 309 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: the crap they've dealt with these last couple of years, 310 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: the bad headlines. They've won a lot of football games. 311 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 3: They were nine and three this year. 312 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 4: Rightly, you know who Signetti looks like, don't you win? 313 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 5: Actor? 314 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 4: He's like a beagless actor that was in an old 315 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: sitcom with Tom Hanks Buddies. 316 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: You're going to Peter Scalari. Yeah, he goes say Peter 317 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: on the Bottom Newhart Show. 318 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: Come on, Does he not look like that at that? 319 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? 320 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I win. 321 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 3: But but I think it's that same thing if like, 322 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: Signetti might only be there for a couple of years, 323 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 3: but he's infectious in terms of all right, this is 324 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 3: what we're gonna do. We're gonna go and we're gonna 325 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: play our best football. We're gonna kick people in the 326 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 3: teeth and let the chips fall with You've got a 327 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: guy with a great track record, all the history that 328 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 3: you have, and you're trying to stabilize your university after 329 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 3: several years of scandal and questions and and even now 330 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: right Sharon Moore, there were there were the recruiting issues 331 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 3: that he had to deal with. 332 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: And I don't think he'll have recruiting problems at all. 333 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 4: I think he'll do fine. 334 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 3: No, no, but it's but it's about cleaning out the guards, 335 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: which is why having a non Michigan man is great. 336 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, you may. 337 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 4: You're probably right on not having a non Michigan man. 338 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 4: I think he'll keep more in house players than first 339 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 4: expected if they named another coach. 340 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: No, that's it, I would agree. And whether he brings 341 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: a bunch of players with him or not, he's certainly 342 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,479 Speaker 3: not going in like Deon Sanders did at Colorado. 343 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 4: You remember you got the portal though that that's always 344 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 4: good enough to fillip houls. 345 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, but he's not walking in and threatening guys. 346 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 3: You should pack your bags. You I didn't like that. 347 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: I'm breaking my guys. Hey you're okay. Nah, you're cut too. 348 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 3: You know that kind of thing. Yeah, we're not gonna 349 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 3: have that. But I think the longevity of it and 350 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 3: what he has is he brings reputation and a history 351 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 3: that you say, okay for now, this is gonna stabilize, 352 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: whether it's two years, four years, however long he's gonna coach. 353 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: But the track record is also classic, as we talked 354 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 3: with Pete Futech earlier in the show, classic Big ten 355 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 3: of we're gonna play tough nose football. We're gonna run 356 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: the ball and play defense, which plays well at Michigan 357 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: and in the Big ten. 358 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 4: You know, just one little side note, I finally think 359 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 4: that would Michigan Ohio State and with that great hire 360 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: by Michigan State with Fitzgerald, I think we're gonna have 361 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 4: some great football with that. 362 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 5: Three little you know rivalry there. I think it's gonna 363 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 5: be awesome. 364 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 3: And that's probably the last time Michigan will play Notre 365 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: Dame ever, the last time that they played. There's your 366 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 3: joke for the day. 367 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, why is that. 368 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: Well, they'll try to get them off the boards. Yeah, 369 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 3: and won't schedule them either at stick and Genius one 370 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 3: is where you find him.

Both teams coming at it with their backup quarterbacks. 412 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 3: Malik Willis for the Packers against Snoop Hunley. I watched 413 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 3: Snoop Punley beat the Bears when I traveled to Baltimore 414 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: a few weeks ago. Is Lamar Jackson missed a couple 415 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 3: of games and now he's back out. The large contusion 416 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 3: is what it was put up. We talked about it 417 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 3: briefly yesterday, obliquely a little the column that was up 418 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: in the Baltimore Sun talking about video games, late nights, 419 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: changing practice schedules, all of those things, and the question 420 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 3: of Lamar Jackson as you look ahead, whether he remains 421 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 3: a member of the Baltimore Ravens. We talked to Jason 422 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: Cole earlier who was convinced look better at comber Heads 423 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 3: will prevail. It's a tough season they've run through. Certainly 424 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: Mark Andrews is going back to last year in the playoffs, 425 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 3: and certainly even this last week that would be lateral 426 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 3: that he attempted as he was being tackled ranked among 427 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 3: the dumber things I've ever seen for a guy that 428 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 3: they just paid a truckload of money to right. Decision 429 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 3: making is part of that equation, isn't it. Yeah, So 430 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: either way, disastrous last week and now you turn your 431 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: attention ahead to this week. Lots swirling. This article very 432 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 3: skating about where Lamar Jackson is as a professional. 433 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I got to tell you that story 434 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 4: came from somewhere, So I feel like there's somewhat a 435 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 4: little bit of truth in that, whether they really moved 436 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 4: the practices or what. He's not played his best ball 437 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 4: the last couple of years. 438 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 5: He's been hurt. 439 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 4: Why is he not suiting up? Some people think that 440 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: he's healthy enough to get out there, but he just 441 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 4: doesn't want to play These last couple of games. Now, 442 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 4: that's a serious accusation. You make it, we'll see how 443 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 4: it works out. Look, there's no doubt in my mind 444 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 4: that he's played his last couple of games in Baltimore. 445 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 4: Was that a true quote that said, Hey, if they 446 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 4: don't want me here and I'll move on, I love 447 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 4: to play in Miami. 448 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 5: Not that I would want him in Miami, But. 449 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 3: Did you write that quote? 450 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 5: No? 451 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 4: Being serious, you can tell that he already has the 452 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: mindset that he's not coming back next year. I think 453 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 4: Baltimore is going to move on without him, And I 454 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 4: know Jason said, well, cooler heads will prevail. I don't 455 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 4: think that's happening here. I think he's good as gone. 456 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 4: If I was going to play some bet down, Mike, 457 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 4: I'm betting that he's not. 458 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 5: Coming back to the Ravens at all next year. 459 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 4: I think a lot of our listeners would probably agree 460 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 4: with me. 461 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 3: Well, part of what was in that Baltimore's son was 462 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 3: purely speculative of they should look at a trade which 463 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 3: would let them two or three first round picks. Jackson 464 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 3: would love to play in Miami, where two is no 465 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 3: longer the starter. Well, A don't know that. I'm like 466 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 3: I'm just saying I love Miami well, but that's not 467 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 3: coming from Lamar Jackson, is the point I'm making. That's 468 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 3: purely speculative, a that he wants out of Baltimore and 469 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: be that Miami would be the place he'd be choosing 470 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 3: to go again. I've been to Miami once for a 471 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: Super Bowl week. It was a miserable experience because I 472 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: spent most of my time on that Causeway trying to 473 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 3: go and cover events. But that's either here or there. 474 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 3: I did find a couple hole in the wall Cuban 475 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: food places which were among the most hospitable and delightful 476 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 3: experiences of people and culture and just kind of welcoming 477 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 3: that I've ever had in these Greater United States in 478 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 3: my travels. But oh, that's same for Lamar Jackson. You know, 479 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 3: the injuries do pile up, and I wonder if we 480 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 3: haven't also hit a weird space in our sporting universe. 481 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 3: And let me explain. He started sixteen games going back 482 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen, right, well, he appeared in sixteen games, 483 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 3: and then he's appeared as the starter since taking over 484 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: for Flacco all those years ago, one hundred and seventy 485 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 3: attempts that year included in the one hundred and forty 486 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 3: seven carries. This is year eight of his career. Historically, 487 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: isn't this where quarterbacks usually went to die and got 488 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 3: put out to past year? 489 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 4: They certainly don't keep running the way he does. 490 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. But that's but just in general, 491 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 3: like the fact that we've had the Brady's and the 492 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 3: Breeze and Manning brothers and whatever else, they're kind of 493 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 3: outlied of Philip Rivers and his forty five year old 494 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: self at this point. But those guys are the outliers. 495 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 3: I remember doing you know, the fantasy analysis, like, well, 496 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 3: the last three years there are a handful of guys 497 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 3: that survived every game, and then you'd have the journeyman. 498 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 3: But in terms of longevity as an unquestioned starter to 499 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 3: when we get to year eight, and certainly his style 500 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 3: has adapted a bit. His completion percentages down three percent 501 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 3: this year, and to this point he's only rushed the 502 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 3: ball sixty three times, which is fewer than half. 503 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 4: Right that his fault that Derek, you know that the 504 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 4: fubbles all over the place too. 505 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 3: No, but that but that's the larger point to all 506 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: of this. Some of that is correctable. John Harball. Folks 507 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: want him out. It's the old rule of thumb. If 508 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 3: you're gonna fire him, who's next. I've seen him for 509 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 3: Tom firing him. 510 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 4: I'm certainly not bringing back Lamar. 511 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 3: You're not You're not bringing back a lock. 512 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 5: I'm not bringing back Lamar no matter what. All right, 513 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: that's if I'm calling. 514 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 4: If I'm calling the shots in Baltimore, it's time for 515 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 4: me to move on out. 516 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 5: It's too much. 517 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: I just won two MVPs and narrowly missing. 518 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 4: And thank you for for your service. It's time to 519 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 4: move on out. It's there's too much bad water under 520 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 4: the bridge right now. I don't think it could be fixed. 521 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 4: That's why stories like this leak. I think Baltimore fans 522 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 4: want him gone. To be honest, honest with you and 523 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 4: ready to try something else. 524 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 3: It's the problem with this society. You're one of those 525 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 3: guys that goes to the store and buys something and says, hey, 526 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: if it lasts me three weeks, I got my Money's 527 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 3: said eight years now, right, But it's not like you've 528 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 3: had a decided drop off in his play. Yeah, it's 529 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 3: changed a little bit. 530 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 4: Off in this play. I've had injuries in this place. 531 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 3: Well, the injuries are are certainly a thing that you 532 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 3: consider as you go forward, there's no question about it. 533 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: But it also becomes the replacement cost. What in the 534 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 3: marketplace are you getting that's anywhere near Lamar Jackson when 535 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 3: he's eighty percent healthy, let alone one hundred? 536 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 7: Well? 537 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 5: Am I getting it? 538 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 3: How about I go find another wide receiver? How about 539 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 3: you go find like This is where it also falls 540 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 3: back on some of the management kind of like we 541 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 3: were talking about with the Lakers, is like you got 542 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: a plan for that to have a deeper rotation and 543 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 3: a deeper degree of depth. I love DeAndre Hopkins seven 544 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 3: years ago when he was running around right, right, right right. 545 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: Zay Flowers is a good player. Is he at number one? No? 546 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 3: And Mark Andrews you paid him top been money and 547 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 3: he's good at times, But boy, is decision making in 548 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 3: big game moments certainly haven't been there. And we could 549 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 3: say that about Lamar to a degree. But you're running 550 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 3: out and wishing and hoping that with duct tape and 551 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 3: bandages that Ronnie Stanley's gonna be there on the offensive line, 552 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: and when he is, and it goes to hell. John 553 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: Harbon needs to look in the mirror. I still I 554 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 3: wonder how many people there on Saturday are holding up 555 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 3: signs that just say twelve to fifty three like they 556 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: used to have the John three sixteen or Austin three 557 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 3: sixteen at wrestling shows. Twelve fifty three. Derrek Henry didn't 558 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 3: see the ball in the fourth quarter, the final twelve minutes, 559 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 3: three second when he had run for one hundred and 560 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 3: twenty eight yards and two scores. 561 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 4: By the way Spaccoli sends in that says, I agree 562 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 4: with the stick of genius a million percent. Lamar keeps 563 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 4: getting injured when the Ravens need him the most. I 564 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 4: think he wants Harbor fired and or out of Baltimore. 565 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: Potential is there, right, And certainly I don't dismiss it. 566 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 3: It just becomes the when we get one report, that 567 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 3: means one guy talking on a bad day, right, and 568 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 3: maybe the practice if the practice schedule had changed because 569 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 3: of him, there's way too many people that would have 570 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 3: needed to keep that a secret. That's a lot of 571 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: no no, but that's a lot of people affected. If 572 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: if they knew, if if any of them got win, 573 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 3: that it was because Lamar was up playing video games 574 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 3: till the middle of the night. 575 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 4: Well, I got to assume if he is playing, he's 576 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 4: playing with a teammate or or something, or. 577 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 3: Maybe he just play instances himself and goes online. And 578 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 3: could he's out there hanging out. Maybe he's playing Kyler Murray. 579 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: See how he gets just dragged in here because it's 580 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: a video gamest NFL QB or something NFL QB eight. Yeah, no, 581 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: either way, It again goes back to our larger conversation 582 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 3: of the quarterback position and where there's such a decided 583 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: drop off because even if he's not Lamar Jackson won 584 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: one A with Josh Allen at the top of the board, 585 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 3: figure out where you want Joe Burb and those guys 586 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 3: in the mix, He's still in that elite category. 587 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, but I mean all these quarterbacks, you know, 588 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 4: the Kyler Murray's, the two is the Lamar Jackson's DeShawn Watson's. 589 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 5: They gotta go play somewhere. 590 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 3: You're trying to push to Shawn Watson. You're getting a cut. 591 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 4: No, but he's not gonna You think he's gonna be 592 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 4: sitting on the bench in Cleveland for another year. 593 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 3: I would just say if I'm one of the other 594 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 3: thirty one teams, I'm looking at almost any other quarterback, 595 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 3: including a forty six year old Philip Rivers, before I'm 596 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 3: looking at DeShawn Watson. 597 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 5: Getting crazy. 598 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 4: Now, you know, I got getting crazy because I got 599 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 4: a last time DeShawn Watson was any good, Philip Rivers 600 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 4: was still quarterbacking in Indianapolis the first time I have. 601 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 4: But I get to pay him. I get to pay 602 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 4: him bottom barrel. So that's the big difference with Deshaun Watson. 603 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 3: That's fine, I'll go find it. I'll take my shot 604 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 3: that I can get a guy in the draft and 605 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 3: figure him out. Before I'm bringing to Shawn Watson into 606 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: my building. 607 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 4: Another guy who put up numbers like three four years ago. 608 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Deshaun Watson, let's let's go back 609 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 3: and look at his stats really quick before we get 610 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 3: over to Steve Desager for one more final run for 611 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 3: the night. As we roll through, let's see in twenty 612 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: twenty twenty twenty forty eight hundred yards, thirty eight touchdown, no. 613 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 3: Thirty three touchdown, seven picks. That's sin Yeah, that's twenty twenty, 614 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 3: that's the sixth. Then it's nineteen touchdowns against twelve picks, 615 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 3: and he's been unavailable I don't know because of suspensions 616 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 3: and then random injuries that seem to have taken a 617 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 3: long time to heat. 618 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 5: Well, it's Cleveland, so what can you do. 619 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 3: Well, but if if a guy wants to play football, 620 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: he had every opportunity because that's been a barren wasteland 621 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 3: Bay Rogerickers Mackfield. 622 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield got better when he left Cleveland. 623 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 3: Well, Baker Mayfield also then bounced to multiple places thereafter. 624 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 4: Oh, Carolina, the Rams, I understand that. 625 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: All right. Remember there's a great group photo of him 626 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: and Sam Darnold in Carolina Panthers jersey smiling at each other. 627 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 3: Guess what neither one of them got to do? A 628 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 3: damn thing there. That was when you hired a guy 629 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: that was supposed to be a wizard as a coach. 630 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 5: They went on, Yeah, better things for both of them. 631 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Matt rule coach.
