Good morning, Jeff Schwartz, 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 3: Everything good with you. You're watching Olympic hockey. You're watching college hoops, 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 3: no ball, no football right now, but you got a 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: decent amount of stuff to tide you over. Everything good 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: with you. 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 4: It's good for the Olympics. Man the Hawk yesterday was 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 4: unbelievably good. Three overtime games, three three on threes to 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 4: end the action. I have very much enjoyed the Olympics. 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 4: I think far more than I thought, maybe because to 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 4: your point, there's no football, so we need something to 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 4: hold us over. It has been very enjoyable. 22 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: That's nice. I'm glad you're into it. And it was 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: crazy for Team USA against the Swedes. The Swedes came 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: to play, tied it up with a minute thirty to go, 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 3: and next thing you know, it's like, wow, we're doing 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 3: three on three overtime hockey? Huh, Like, I don't know, 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 3: did you know the rules? Jeff, I'm not ashamed to admit, 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: but you know, it's four years in between Olympics, you know, 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: And I'm like, all right, so what is this like 30 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: a five minute overtime? And you know, then we figure 31 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 3: it out from there. It's like, nope, three on three 32 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: sudden death, let's go. I'm like, oh right, let's get 33 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: after it over here. And Team USA came out with 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: the win. 35 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 4: What's great about this is that the action is electric 36 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 4: in three on three, right, and and sort of like 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 4: me and you, right, that the people that don't watch 38 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 4: all the time love the three on three. The hockey 39 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 4: purists absolutely hate it. They hate it so much, like 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 4: they're freaking pissed that this is the way the game 41 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 4: would end. But I thought the action was an incredible 42 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 4: You know, three on three does favor teams like Canada 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 4: and USA, right, that just have better hockey players, right, 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 4: there's more space, uh, and that favors them where you know, 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: Sweden would have loved to probably play five on five, 46 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 4: right and just grind the game up as they were 47 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 4: doing yea, Canada was playing CHECKI it right. They would 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 4: love love to just like make the game as ugly 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 4: as possible, right, I mean that's what they both teams 50 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 4: would have loved it. But then three on three ends 51 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 4: up helping the better teams, right, who who get more 52 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 4: space have better shooters. So I get from that perspective 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 4: not wanting to end that way. But we're on path 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: for what we wanted, which is USA Canada. Uh, And 55 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: we'll have that in a couple of days hopefully. And 56 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 4: today we have the women, the women to play for 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: their goal today against Canada. I believe that the games 58 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 4: it forty five. So there's been six am hockey for 59 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 4: days now since I have Eastern wake up, taking the 60 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 4: kids to school, checking my phone to see, uh, you 61 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: know what what the hockey scores are? 62 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, not bad at all, And that's that's pretty crazy. 63 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: The stat with Team USA on the women's side for hockey, 64 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 3: they have outscored opponents thirty one to one and these 65 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: winner Olympics. That's insane, dude, that's crazy. And in the 66 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 3: gold medal game against Canada, you know, they're minus four 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: eighty five. Got to like lay almost five hundred bucks 68 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: to win one hundred. That's how dominant team USA is 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: on the women's side. 70 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: I took Canada under one and a half goals today already, 71 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 4: h it was minus one, ted, I'm glad that Canada 72 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 4: just doesn't score very well. And I think it's tough 73 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 4: against USA to have a team doesn't score as well 74 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 4: as as USA. You know, so I know Thereday, Canada 75 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: had like fifty shots and scored two goals. I just 76 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: am not a fan of of the matchup for them. 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: So we'll see how goes and look who's lively opportunities 78 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 4: of course, But it's funny getting on this hockey. 79 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: By the way, I hate to tell on myself again, 80 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: but Chechia. When did that become a thing? 81 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: I just assumed there's a new country. I was like, 82 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: must be a new country. Well you remember, like I 83 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 4: remember in the World Cup Turkey one of their country 84 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: to pronounced differently. 85 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: Oh really, wow, Like where are we going Turkey? Or 86 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: I don't know what I think that's what it was. 87 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 4: It's something that I forget because I was doing podcast 88 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 4: for the for the World Cup and it was a 89 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 4: World Cup Olympics. I forgue which one it was, but 90 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: they wanted to be I think it was Turkey. Yeah. 91 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 4: Oh really, wow, Yeah, I think that's what they They 92 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 4: changed their pronunciation. 93 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 3: Thought it was like maybe a Keenan maccardell, you know, 94 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: like you just kind of mess with the the ending, 95 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: you know, the pronunciation right there, no there. 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's uh oh sorry, it's a Turkey Turkeia yeah. Wow, Okay, yeah, 97 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they uh yeah, they they want it 98 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 4: changed at least maybe it's the official way that you 99 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: pronounced their country. Everyone just calls a Turkey, and they 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 4: wanted it. They want it like officially kind field. 101 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 3: You know, it's not acrosure, it's still hide field. 102 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. So I think CHECKI it might be in the 103 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: same sort of boat day. It's like, you know what, 104 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: let's just like, let's let's change our name and get 105 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 4: it done and call something else. But I mean even 106 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 4: the other sports have been I think curling is on 107 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 4: twenty four to seven. 108 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: Do you understand curling, by the way, Yeah. 109 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I get the concept of it. Yeah, you try 110 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 4: to get more stones in closer to the middle than 111 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 4: the other team. I mean it's it's the same as 112 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 4: you know, but a lot of games sort of similar, 113 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 4: like that's the goal. 114 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 3: Right right. I don't know, man, Sometimes it makes me 115 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: feel stupid because it's like, Okay, this team has two, 116 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 3: that other team has one, so you know the first 117 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 3: team is plus one on that end, right, Okay, I 118 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: get that every now and then it's like they get three. 119 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 4: I'm like, they get three stones closer right than another team. 120 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: There's three within closer than any one of the other 121 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 4: ones from another team. I think that's how you get it. 122 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: All I know is that I think curling has jumped 123 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 4: the shark. It was an event that we used to 124 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 4: I think, like fringely like, and now it's like everyone 125 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 4: does it. I mean there was you know, I like 126 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: the Kelsey's, but you know they I think Kylie Kelsey 127 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: did a whole like and Jason did a whole like 128 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 4: thing on curling. Like it's kind of like I took 129 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 4: the shark a little bit a little The other one 130 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 4: I've enjoyed watching and not at all because they look 131 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 4: incredibly fit. In their outfits. But the speed skating has 132 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 4: been incredible. 133 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jordan Sides, no doubt. 134 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 4: Just did the speed. I've watched so much. I take 135 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 4: it back another one. I like, I've liked watching so alone. 136 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 4: I like the biathlon. That was fun. I I was 137 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 4: watching biathlon with my cousin in law who is a 138 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 4: marine and a former police officer, and did swat forever 139 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 4: and he loved they were shooting like little twenty twos. 140 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 4: He like found it so he just was loved it 141 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 4: so much then. And the speed, the speed scheme where 142 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 4: they basically run uphill. Dude, Yeah, it's like, uh, I 143 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 4: very much enjoyed it. 144 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: You're all about the Olympics, man, I didn't know you 145 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: were all in, Like, well, it's great. 146 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 4: I've worked a lot this week and so I'm in 147 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: a lot of it's in the morning, you know, and 148 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 4: it's good watch with kids. The kids enjoy watching Olympics too. 149 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: Oh that's cool. Yeah, a little bonding experience. 150 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 4: Very nice. 151 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: Some great college hoops last night, by the way, too, Jeff. 152 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 4: Double overtime. 153 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: I pay attention the double overtime game Alabama. I would 154 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: say they outlast Arkansas one seventeen one. Fifteen and double overtime. Arkansas. 155 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: They kept on saying during the broadcast they only came 156 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: in with seven healthy dudes. You know, they had seven 157 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: guys available. It's not quite true. They had a couple 158 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 3: of guys get into the game late because of players 159 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: falling out. So I thought they literally just had seven 160 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 3: players available. I'm doing the math in my head. I'm like, 161 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: all right, are they down to four? Is every file 162 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 3: like a free throw in the ball? What's going on? 163 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: And the next thing, you know, it's like, oh no, 164 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 3: they have another guy, he can come in the game. 165 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: We're like, what's all this about seven guys available? Why 166 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: you keep saying that? But anyway, Arkansas they didn't have 167 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: They got into fouled trouble and that obviously hurt them 168 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 3: in double overtime. Their guy, Darius Acuff. You're gonna hear 169 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 3: a lot about this dude in the NBA, but he 170 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 3: is a sensational freshman over there at Arkansas scored forty 171 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: nine points played all fifty minutes. Of course, to the 172 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: double overtime. You know, you know, get five, you get 173 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: ten extra minutes in overtime. He scores forty nine in 174 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: the game. You had fi Lin over there with Alabama 175 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 3: scored thirty five. It was just a crazy game back 176 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 3: and forth. A lot of fun, man, a lot of 177 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: fun last night. 178 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 4: It was a good game. And look, I have my 179 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 4: issue with college basketball, but the best game, the best 180 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 4: teams are great. Like we're gonna get Duke Michigan this week. 181 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 4: It's gonna be great. The other ninety percent of the 182 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 4: sport is unwatchable. It's just just atrocious basketball being played. 183 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 4: But the top of the sport, sign me up for that. 184 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 4: Alabama was always fun because they scored a ton of points, right, Like, 185 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 4: that's what that's the defense optional for them. Arkansas is 186 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: much better in Cal's second year, the second year, right, 187 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: second year, second year, they're much better in the second year. 188 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 4: And the Michigan's really good. They dominated pretty the other day. 189 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 4: I mean, there's you know, there's a lot of good basketball. 190 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: The Big Twelve basically is just beating each other up 191 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 4: each and every game. But you know that that's their 192 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 4: style of basketball. And then you know, for me, it's 193 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 4: just the rest of it, which I unfortunately watch because 194 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 4: I bet on it. It's just just atrocious basketball being played. 195 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 4: I did have a winning night again in our favorite sport, 196 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 4: women's college basketball. Dude, it's it feels like stealing sometimes. 197 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're all about this, man, You're. 198 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 4: Yukon is the numb one team in the country. Okay, 199 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: they're favored by twenty eight and a half. It's a 200 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 4: big number, right, I'm not betting that they're on the 201 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 4: road of Villanova. They're down by three and a half 202 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 4: at the half. Oh no, oh, no, number goes to 203 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 4: eleven and a half. They win by twenty four. 204 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 3: It's the gift that keeps on giving. I don't know 205 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: how many stories you've told that have unfolded exactly like that. 206 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 4: It makes them again. It's I only do the top 207 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 4: teams of the country. I'm not betting like the random game. 208 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 4: It's not even like, not even top twenty teams. Just 209 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 4: top ten teams. That's it, that are really good, that 210 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 4: dominate in the squarrec is that hands so fast. I've been, 211 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 4: I've been in my college basketball Look, I think, you know, 212 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 4: for enjoyment, obviously you want to watch something on TV 213 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 4: with footballs over, but also just for the you know, 214 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: we we do cover this stuff, right, I mean, I'm 215 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 4: gonna have March Maddness podcast to do, and I have 216 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 4: to sort of know what I'm talking about, and so 217 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: it does make sense, even though I can complain about it, 218 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 4: and I certainly do complain about it. You know, you 219 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: have to pay attention to college basketball puentally this time 220 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 4: of year. You know, we're getting you We're but three 221 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: weeks away from the conference tournament, so, uh, you've got 222 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 4: it two weeks I think for conference tournament. So we're 223 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 4: getting here too. We're getting close to the end here. 224 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 3: Oh, We're getting real close, no doubt about that. And 225 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 3: you have a favorite, Michigan so good right now. They 226 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: just have a different level. 227 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 4: But it's a big it's a Big ten team. I mean, 228 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 4: last have a Big Ten team won a championship. 229 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 3: I know it's been a minute been yeah, I know, 230 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 3: but I wouldn't let that throw me off. You let 231 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: that factor into the way you break these teams. 232 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: I just think that the Big Ten as a now 233 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 4: you know, Big Ten alum Organ guy. I just think 234 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 4: they called their they called their games so differently, and 235 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: you get to the postseason and you just don't get 236 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 4: those it's just called the games are called a little different, 237 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, Now Michigan does feel sort of immune 238 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 4: to that because of their their team and their style. 239 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 4: I did see a funny tweet that basically said that 240 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 4: Michigan Indiana are good at the sports, don't want to 241 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 4: be good at cool. But they're they're both old, you 242 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 4: know in the NA football older Michigan Michigan basket will older, right, 243 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: a lot of experience, different ways to win, right, Michigan 244 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 4: can win different ways. They do look like the most 245 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 4: complete team in the country, right, Duke's sort of young. 246 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 4: I'm I'm kind of curious about that game next week. 247 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 4: You know, Texas. Texas had a bad injury unfortunately for them. 248 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 4: I do I trust Arizona zero percent, zero percent. 249 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 3: Of the post season. 250 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 4: Nothing about them do I trust whatsoever? And so I'm 251 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 4: sure I'm mission I'm missing a team or two. 252 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: Illinois, Arizona, Yeah you got you got Houston in there, right, yeah, 253 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 3: Iowa State, Iowa State. It's one of those teams where 254 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, I just can't trust me. 255 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 4: They if they go they look they're a team that 256 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: could get hot for six games. Absolutely, Yeah, I don't 257 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 4: believe in that. And then you have you know, the 258 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: Floridas and I think Arkansas could be fun in the 259 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: postseason Bama, I don't know. They play no defense. I 260 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 4: don't really trust, but it does feel pretty wide open, man. 261 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: I mean it's like I think that a number of teams, 262 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: you know, we're at least in double digits that could 263 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 3: get hot at the right time, they're capable of winning 264 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 3: six games and winning it all. Would not shock me 265 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 3: at all. But yeah, like you like Illinois, Illinois offense 266 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 3: is outstanding. You know, if they can just win with offense, 267 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: which they're capable of doing, right, if they're just if 268 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 3: they just stay hot offensively, they've got a shot ukon you. 269 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: Danny Hurley has been, you know, crushing his defense. He's like, yeah, 270 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: our defense sucks right now, that's no wonder we lost 271 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: last night to Creighton, but we got to get our 272 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 3: defense straight in a way. But they're always difficult to 273 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 3: come tournament time as well. 274 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I do think that, you know, 275 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 4: you're there could be a team like that Hobby. Look, Illinois, 276 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 4: It's hard for me a lot of times to see 277 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 4: like one dimensional teams as teams that can win championships, 278 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 4: right because I think you have to have multiple ways 279 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 4: to win, so they certainly can certainly can, right but 280 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 4: that that does always concern me. But I already have 281 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: teams that I can't wait. I cannot wait to big 282 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: us Maam of Ohio. They're gonna fish undefeated in the. 283 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: Regular season, right, I can't wait to fade him. 284 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be like a seven to ten game 285 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: in the and they're going to play the tenth best 286 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: ACC team, yeah, in the tournament and lose out right, Yeah, 287 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 4: maybe by like double digits. 288 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: How about Perdue. They're now nineteen and one at bet MGM. 289 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: Their odds have really falling. 290 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 4: They don't. I just don't. I don't. I don't like 291 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 4: them for the postseason. 292 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: Not a fan. Okay, yeah, but you we got to 293 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: mention the name JT. Topp and torn Acl officially Texas 294 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: Tech stud reigning Big twelve Player. 295 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 4: Of the Year. He played so well at Arizona the 296 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: other night, such an. 297 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 3: He's had an outstanding season, eleven rebounds per game. He's 298 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: just been a monster, like rebounding, offense, the whole thing. 299 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: And he down for the season. That was brutal too, 300 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: because I hate those injuries. It's one thing if you 301 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: watch the replay one time and you're like, oh, that's 302 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: I can't watch that again. You watched JT Top and 303 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: it's like he just kind of was going up for 304 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: a basket and kind of twisted. But it didn't look 305 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 3: like one of those like, oh gosh, that's at least 306 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: a six week injury. At the least, it looked like 307 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 3: fairly innocent. And then it turns out torn ACL done. 308 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: That sucks. Man, I feel for him. That's too bad. 309 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 4: A lot of ACL's don't look bad. 310 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

But you know it's like all right, yeah, 389 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 3: I'm in, but I'm not, you know, fully in. There's 390 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 3: one thing I know you're fully in about. That would 391 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: be the NFL. And last night, in the wee hours, 392 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 3: the NFL win totals were released, yes, over on Draft 393 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 3: Kings and so we I've got the full menu right 394 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: in front of me, and it looks like the league 395 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 3: is at ten and a half wins. But there are 396 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 3: ten teams at ten and a half wins. Last year 397 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 3: we had at least four teams that were at eleven 398 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 3: and a half wins. Yeah, season win total, we don't 399 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 3: have one as we speak right now. We do have 400 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 3: ten teams at ten and a half. I'll rattle them 401 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 3: off real fast here, Jeff, you tell me if you 402 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 3: like any of these ten to go over or any 403 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 3: of these ten to go under. So these are all 404 00:19:53,760 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 3: at ten and a half. We've got the Ravens, Bills, Lions, Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Rams, Okay, Eagles, Seahawks, Niners. 405 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 3: Ten teams at ten and a half. 406 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 4: All right, So the first one stood out to me 407 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 4: was the Chiefs because is Mahomes coming back week one? 408 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 4: Are we we ten and a. 409 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: Half with absolutely will be their Week one, no doubt? 410 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 4: Okay, so you think he will? I mean obviously, the 411 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 4: way this is laid out is that they believe he's 412 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 4: gonna be there, right, because obviously you don't lay ten 413 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 4: and a half on the Chiefs if you don't think 414 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 4: Mahomes will be there. Now that that was down to 415 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 4: me as a sore thumb, like, oh okay, I mean, 416 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 4: huh so the Vegas thinks Mahomes is back. That's basically 417 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: what they're telling you. Otherwise you wouldn't lay ten and 418 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,239 Speaker 4: a half. He's gonna miss the first month of the season, right, yeah, yeah, no, way, okay, right, 419 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 4: do you say Phillies up there? 420 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: Phillies at ten and a half. 421 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 4: I'm on a Philly fade this year. I've decided, Yeah, 422 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 4: I'm gonna make our friend Russ happy, but I just 423 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 4: don't really like the higher an offense coordinator and Sean 424 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 4: Magian might be good eventually, but this is his his 425 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 4: first year calling plays and his third year as a 426 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 4: coach ever ever, And I'm not saying that you can't 427 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: be a good coach the first year you call plays, 428 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 4: but you have a dynamic in Philly where you have 429 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 4: a quarterback that you know if things aren't perfect, He's 430 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 4: not as good, which is for a lot of quarterbacks, right, 431 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 4: but still I think I think Jalen hurts. You know, 432 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 4: if things are not the run game is not perfect, 433 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 4: offensive line's not great in a given game, like is 434 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 4: he taking the game over? And last year they had 435 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: an offense that didn't have answers for things right, and 436 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 4: now first time OC is gonna have all the answers 437 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 4: to the test right. And with a head coach that's 438 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 4: an offensive guy but doesn't call plays, it doesn't seem 439 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 4: to really actually help the offense. And then, and maybe 440 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 4: this is a little bit of my bias showing here, 441 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 4: they fired Jeff Stotlin, essentially the best offensive coach in 442 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 4: the NFL. You're you're you're not good enough to figure 443 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 4: out how to run Kyle Shanahan's offensive designs, you know, 444 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 4: like it just it just feels like they're they're backtracking. 445 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 4: Right if Lane Johnson retires, which seems fifty to fifty 446 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 4: maybe sixty forty, Yes, you're talking about Lennon Dickerson retire 447 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 4: who went and got stem cells in Colombia, which is 448 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 4: which works from from bio cellular But still like he's 449 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 4: at the point of his career when he's you know, 450 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 4: he's doing off season, you know, the Kobe Bryant, right, 451 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 4: go to Germany gets similar to Columbia now, right, That's 452 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 4: so that's where a lot of teams, a lot of 453 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 4: players are going to get it done. I just don't 454 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 4: I just don't like the vibe there. 455 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: Right. 456 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 4: And if you assume the Giants are a little bit better, right, 457 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 4: you know, the Commanders are better this year. You know 458 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 4: the Cowboys that they are going to be what they've 459 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 4: been with Dak Prescott, which is a competitive team. I 460 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 4: just don't love the Eagles. Uh, They're a team. I'm 461 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 4: on you know, I've made these wagers, but this and 462 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 4: they're a team I'm eyeing as a as a as 463 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: an underteam. 464 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: I hear you on that. Totally understand where you're coming 465 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 3: from on that. There's a team that I love heading 466 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 3: into the season. That would be the Lions. I am 467 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 3: all over the Lions this season. Jeff over Over, Yes, Over. 468 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 3: This is pre free agency, pre draft obviously, but as 469 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 3: it just shapes up, I look at the first thing 470 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: that just hits you right between the eyeballs is the schedule. 471 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: They played a first play schedule last season, and on 472 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: the road in particular, it was murderers row. It was crazy, 473 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 3: what eroad schedule was this coming year, Jeff. So, now 474 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 3: the Lions keep this in mind too the NFC, the 475 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 3: NFC teams get nine home games. It was the AFC 476 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: that had nine home games last season. That's something to 477 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: keep in mind. You know that one extra home game 478 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 3: could make a difference on a season win total. Then 479 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 3: you look at the last play schedule for the Lions, right, 480 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: they had a first play schedule last year. These are 481 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 3: the three games that your first, second, third, or last 482 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: play schedule effect. It affects three games, right. So last 483 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 3: year when they played a first play schedule, they got 484 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 3: Tampa at home, at the Chiefs at the Rams are 485 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: three challenging games right there, right. This year, playing a 486 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 3: last play schedule, this is who the Lions get. They 487 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 3: get the Giants, the Titans, and at the Cardinals. Okay, 488 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 3: and on the top of that, the divisions they play. 489 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 3: They played the NFC South top to bottom, not one 490 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: team with the winning record. Last season. They played the 491 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: AFC East, where you get my pathetic Dolphins and the 492 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 3: pathetic Jets. Like that's a favorable schedule. I know their 493 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 3: division is hard, but getting to eleven wins, I love 494 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 3: the Lions to get to at least eleven wins this 495 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 3: coming season. 496 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 4: It's so important to look at these schedules because I 497 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 4: remember last year, I mean, the Niners, I love them 498 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: over right, because their schedule was so easy last season, 499 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 4: even with the injuries and all and all on, they 500 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 4: were a good football team, right, So that matters so 501 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 4: much here, and the Lions do get a break this 502 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 4: year of having that schedule that allows them to win games. 503 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 4: Even if I just I'm a little concerned about the offense. 504 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 4: He took a step back without Ben Johnson there, which 505 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: is certainly fair, right, I don't know if I just 506 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 4: don't know if it's gonna ever bounce back to what 507 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 4: it was. But you have to think that at some 508 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 4: point they stop having all these injuries on defense, right Like, 509 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 4: eventually they're gonna have a season when everyone's everyone's healthy, 510 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 4: and that team's gonna be so much better offensively and 511 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 4: defensively with you know, with with those guys there. So 512 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 4: I I could buy the Lions being over team. I 513 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 4: don't bet many overs, so I I keep that menu 514 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 4: very small. 515 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 3: Yeah right right, Well, you know, like we get it, 516 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 3: what ten teams at ten and a half clearly a 517 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: handful of Seattle going over Seattle Seattle ten and a half. 518 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 4: Okay, So my Seattle take is that I think what 519 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 4: we saw with the Lions of Ben Johnson, we're gonna 520 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 4: see with with Kubiaka leaving Seattle and gonna be the 521 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 4: Raiders coach. That's a really big loss for them. Huge. 522 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 3: I hired a tight ends coach to be there. 523 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 4: The forty nine ers. Yeah, and they're saying that Shanahan 524 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 4: tree of which is no surprise obviously. I they shouldn't 525 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 4: side Canneth walk into a big deal. They might use 526 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 4: the tradition tag on him with the franchise staff, so 527 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 4: maybe it'll stick around. But you know, just sort of 528 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 4: like lightning in a bottle last year. I feel like 529 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 4: this past year, the defense will still be as good 530 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 4: I would imagine, but they're gonna have to figure out 531 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 4: some guys, sign some guys and replace some players that division. 532 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 4: The RAM is still going to be good, The Nyers 533 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 4: are going to be good. Arizona's probably gonna be pretty 534 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 4: bad as they figure out what, you know, what to 535 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 4: do a quarterback, right But I I see it feels 536 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 4: like a team that if they're Darnold's ten fifteen percent worse. 537 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 4: The offense isn't as good. You lose a couple of 538 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 4: guys in defensive free agency, and you're just not as good. 539 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: Next season, that could be a ten and seven team. 540 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have not quite Lions vibes, you know last 541 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 3: season where their win total is right around the same thing. 542 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and look, but it's right 543 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 3: around ten and a half, and it's like, man, the Lions. 544 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: They just went fifteen and two. They're not gonna go 545 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: over that. And it's like, nope, they didn't, you know, 546 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 3: and Seattle doesn't play as challenging of a schedule, but yeah, 547 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 3: taking a step back, I would not be shocked at 548 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: all if that does happen because they're a marked team. 549 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: You know, they're defending champs, so they're not stinking up 550 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 3: on anybody. The one good thing if you're a Seahawks 551 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 3: fan anybody out there listening, their first play schedule isn't 552 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 3: as daunting as some other first play schedules can be. 553 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 3: So they get the Bears at home, they get the 554 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 3: Patriots at home, and they're at the Panthers, so not 555 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 3: as horrible as it could be. And then you know, 556 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 3: they get the NFC East top to bottom, AFC West 557 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: top to bottom AFC West is pretty good division NFC East. 558 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 4: I don't know. 559 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: We'll see if the Commanders have a resurgence. You know, 560 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 3: it's kind of a weird division top to bottom. Giants 561 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 3: could be better, could be a tougher division, or it 562 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: could be you know, pretty Yeah, so this coming season, 563 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 3: so we'll see. But not the worst schedule everout some 564 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 3: of the nine and five teams, the Bears. The Bears 565 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 3: are on the Auto fade list our producer Justin Cooper. 566 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 3: He messaged me, I noticed you didn't mention the Broncos yet. 567 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 3: Broncos are on the auto fade list. I believe, right, 568 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 3: Jeff la Auto. 569 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 4: Here's the thing, the one score game trend essentially right 570 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,239 Speaker 4: where one year it's really good, over the next year 571 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 4: it's bad. Every year it holds right, the Broncos last 572 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 4: year with something, I can look it up, but it's 573 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 4: just an insane record in one score games. Yeah. Now 574 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 4: you make the case maybe they don't play as many 575 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: one score games this year because they're better. Well, I 576 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 4: mean the NFL is full one score games basically what 577 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 4: every week is, and I just they're just them and 578 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 4: the Bears. Right, the Bears won six games last season, 579 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 4: they were trailing with two minutes left, six games. 580 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 3: Trailer, two minutes left, trailing with trailing. 581 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 4: Yes, not gonna happen this that I mean, Look if 582 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 4: you if you flip two of those games, yeah, they're 583 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 4: not even a playoff team. 584 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 3: Right, that's right, And it easily could have happened. Easily 585 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,239 Speaker 3: could have happened. And man, they just had they had 586 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 3: to going last season. It seems you know, I don't 587 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: know if it would take an injury to Caleb Williams 588 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 3: for them to fall off the same way as the 589 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: Washington Commanders. But look, man, the Commanders were the toast 590 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: of the NFL two seasons ago, made it to the 591 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 3: NFC Championship Game and then what They're a five win 592 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: team last season, So it can happen. Man, Like all 593 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: those one score games, and it wasn't just one score 594 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: games with the Bears, like you said. 595 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 4: Coming back, it was like yeah, and some insane, insane 596 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 4: comebacks they had. 597 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the fortune too, like Jackson Dark got hurt, 598 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 3: you know, when they're playing the Giants at home, and 599 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 3: one thing after another, man, it was crazy. So they 600 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 3: had the oh, my gosh. Yeah, so I still can't 601 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 3: believe the regular season lost for the Packs and that's wow. 602 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 4: So the Bears would be on my The other team 603 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 4: is like Baltimore. I don't know. I guess I don't know. 604 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 4: I don't really know what to make a Baltimore obviously 605 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 4: no Harbaugh, you know, but you know, do you you know? 606 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 4: Lamar obviously is is is there? I gotta look who 607 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 4: I forget off talk about who the high is offense coordinator. 608 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know. I don't know, man, they 609 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 4: just the vibes there, I don't. I just don't. Yeah, 610 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 4: I don't think that. I don't think the rosters as 611 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 4: good offensively as sort of people want it to be. 612 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 4: So I don't know. A new head coach could be good. 613 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 4: But it's also sort of everyone's favorite higher, right, Oh, 614 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 4: the favorite high favorite higher to me, you know, doesn't 615 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 4: always work out. I ten and a half feels high 616 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 4: for them without really knowing some of the roster decisions 617 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 4: they make this offseason. 618 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 3: Oh it was the former Bears OC Declan Doyle. That's 619 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: who they hire. 620 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 4: Who's twenty nine? Never call place right as in place, 621 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 4: you have to start somewhere I get it right, you 622 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 4: got to start somewhere, but you're starting with Lamar Jackson 623 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 4: at all. I I there's you're getting to a point 624 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 4: now where you obviously sort of run out of guys 625 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 4: to hire because a lot of the play callers now 626 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 4: are the head coaches. So you're not hiring, right, you know, 627 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 4: a head coach to call plays on your team. You're 628 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 4: just hiring you know him the coaching the team. So 629 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 4: you have a bunch of situation where guys are their 630 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 4: first time calling plays. And I again, some of these 631 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 4: guys are aren't are going to be much better, but 632 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 4: I that does concern me a little bit. I could see. 633 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 4: I could see a lot of these situations with the 634 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 4: first time play callers that are in season. Overs is 635 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 4: a way to look at these games, these teams where 636 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 4: you just you have to just early on sort of 637 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 4: watch them and see what happens, and then grab an 638 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 4: over at some point during the season when sort of 639 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 4: things started start to click a little bit offensively. 640 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. And that's something to keep in mind too, 641 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: where the schedules aren't even released yet, So if you're 642 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: on let's say you're on an over of a team, 643 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 3: you just love they're over. You might want to wait 644 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 3: until the schedules are released, because if they just have 645 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 3: like a murderer's row of their first three games, and 646 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 3: you're like, all right, there's a good chance they're one 647 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 3: and two after these three games. If you're on the over, 648 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 3: you might want to wait until those first three weeks 649 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 3: come and go and you get a better number, You 650 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 3: get better juice, Like, it's worth it. I have no 651 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 3: problem with firing away right now, but there is some value. 652 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 3: If you're like, all right, I like that, I'm leaning 653 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: to the over. I'm not running to it, you might 654 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 3: want to wait until you see the schedule. You might 655 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 3: get it breaking your way and get an in season 656 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 3: line that's better. 657 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 4: Can I tell you a pet peeve of mine when 658 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 4: it comes to schedule? 659 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? 660 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 4: What do you have? A lot of people spend a 661 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 4: lot of time and energy breaking schedules down. 662 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 3: All right, we might be on the same page here. 663 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 4: And if you're good, you're good. If you're bad, you're bad. 664 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 4: I don't care about your rest differential. Okay, yeah, travel, 665 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 4: I don't care about Oh, they have two road games 666 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 4: the East Coast in a row.

Like guys, these guys fly first class, okay, 669 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 4: first class travel. They have the best recovery techniques in 670 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 4: the world. Ye you know when I played, there was 671 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 4: no recovery, right, there was no none of this stuff. 672 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 4: You just like you've gone the air planey, you know, 673 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 4: you had a couple of adult beverages and you showed 674 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 4: up in practice on Monday. These guys have like stuff 675 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 4: on the plane to help with swelling and recovery, and 676 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 4: they eat. They they have like tailored you know, tailored 677 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 4: meals to them on the airplane. 678 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 2: We do any of that. 679 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 4: No one cared about recovery back then. Now these guys 680 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 4: are dialed in, man like, they are dialed in. I 681 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 4: don't want to hear about rest differential. I don't want 682 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 4: to hear like I'm not making a single wager on 683 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 4: a team that has less rest than someone else. Do 684 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 4: you remember that? You know two years ago the Chiefs 685 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 4: played what was it like, on six different nights of 686 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 4: the season. They were fourteen and three. They're good. If 687 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 4: you're good, you're gonna win football games. If you're bad, 688 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 4: you're gonna you're not gonna win football games. I just 689 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 4: I think way too much is made of this. People 690 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 4: have made basically entire careers off just breaking this down 691 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 4: the internet. I Brian, I do not care for one 692 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 4: second about any of this stuff. It never has swayed 693 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 4: a single wager of mind at any point. Looking at 694 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 4: the NFL, I'll. 695 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 3: Tell you what, I'm similar, but I'm different. The one 696 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 3: thing that I rage against every single season the schedules 697 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 3: are released full blown and you get all these shows, 698 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 3: whether it's radio or TV, and they take a team 699 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 3: and they go win loss throughout the entire season, and 700 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 3: it's like, all right, Week fifteen, forty nine ers hosting 701 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 3: whoever win, And I'm like, I'm pulling my hair out. 702 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 3: It drives me crazy. It's like you have no idea 703 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 3: who's healthy, who's on the shelf. Niners are a great example. 704 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 3: Look how many injuries they have. Yeah, they're just like, oh, 705 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 3: week fifteen win, Week sixteen loss. It's like, I hate that. 706 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 3: I can't tell you how much I hate that. It 707 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 3: drives me crazy. But every single year it happens, gonna 708 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 3: happen this year, as we happen this year again. 709 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 4: I mean, look, I get if you're in local covering 710 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 4: team locally, like you have to build content around that, right, 711 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 4: But you know, I don't know if a big network 712 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 4: should be spending their time doing that, right. 713 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 3: Like it's NFL network and it's like we're going win 714 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 3: loss team by team. Why are we doing this? 715 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 4: But I again, I think that there are some some 716 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 4: validity in that. But I just the whole idea of 717 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 4: this aggress differential and who gets screwed, I just it 718 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 4: never once cross the lines of player. If you're good enough, 719 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 4: you're gonna win games. If you're bad, you're bad, right 720 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 4: Like the rest thing is not. It does not matter 721 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 4: in my opinion whatsoever. So we'll see obviously if that 722 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,720 Speaker 4: matters this year when we get those breakdowns of schedule 723 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 4: and whatnot. I'm just not making a wager at all 724 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 4: based off of that. 725 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, totally get it. By the way, A 726 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 3: couple other things to mention here real fast. So the 727 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 3: seven and a half club, right, seven and a half 728 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 3: win total for Saints Giants commanders kind of interesting. The 729 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 3: last two right there, you get the John Harbaugh bump. 730 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 3: Seven and a half's pretty aggressive for the Giants. But 731 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,479 Speaker 3: now the Washington Commanders. It's a bi lo spo seven 732 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 3: and a half. You get Jayden Daniels for the full season. 733 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 3: That's really low. 734 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 4: The Giants are also on the regression to the mean 735 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 4: for the positive on the one score games though, where yeah, 736 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 4: they had just been two years in a row just 737 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 4: brutalized one score games. I just don't like the Matt 738 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 4: Nagge higher. IM not a fan of that one. 739 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I don't. 740 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 4: The bet seven over seven and a half with a 741 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 4: new OC and nage And look, the Giants actually are 742 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 4: not a bad roster man. It's not. 743 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 3: No, it's not. It really is. Yeah, and get Dart back, 744 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 3: little Scataboo, maybe draft a wide receiver. All of a sudden, 745 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 3: I've got something working. 746 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 4: Scataboo is a very fun player to watch. He is 747 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 4: not a guy I would trust to be. You're starting 748 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 4: running back for seventeen games, so fair enough you have 749 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 4: to find it for you know, he's a great two 750 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 4: right running back to besch teams player. 751 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but put him in like the David Montgomery you 752 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 3: know Lions, you know one be running back role. 753 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 4: Yeah right, Like you're like, you're down, you're down ten points, Okay, 754 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 4: things aren't going well and you bring in scattery trucks 755 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 4: a dude to fires your whole team up, Like that's 756 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 4: like his like number one job, right, Like oh, like 757 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 4: let's go, you know, like that's his right, that's his role, right. 758 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 4: If you build your offense around that running game. I 759 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 4: think that's a problem. But it's not the point of this. 760 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 4: I uh I I do I I the Giants. I'm 761 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 4: gonna tread lightly for now on any other window. The 762 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 4: commander is. 763 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 3: When I like, I like over I think, uh I 764 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 3: do too. 765 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't see their roster. So last year they 766 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 4: went all in on on sort of winning right and 767 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 4: end up with a really kind of an older, beat 768 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 4: up roster, which you know at the time, I get 769 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 4: they're going for it all. And then obviously you know 770 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 4: they the OC Higher there was again interesting OC Higher. 771 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 4: It's just hard. I mean these guys again, you're I 772 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 4: can make this case for a lot of teams like 773 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 4: you hire these ocs. You just these guys are young, 774 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 4: haven't really done it very much. I don't have much success. 775 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 4: You're sort of running out of ideas, you know. Yeah, 776 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 4: so big year for Daniels. Stay healthy too as well. 777 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 3: Hey, we'll have more on the season win totals a 778 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 3: little bit later in the show. There are a couple 779 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 3: of teams bottom of the barrel. One team that made 780 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 3: the playoffs last year, very low win totals, so that 781 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 3: stands out.

He's Jeff Schwartz. I know 796 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 3: we're in for two pros and a cup of Joe. 797 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 3: All right, Jeff. So we've got some news over here, 798 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 3: where the first part is just kind of like yawn, Okay, 799 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 3: Bruce Meyer he's elected as the Major League Baseball Players 800 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 3: Association's interim executive director, Which, if you weren't sleepy, you know, 801 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 3: just getting the sleep out of your eyes trying to 802 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 3: wake up, I think this just puts you back to 803 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 3: sleep again. But the reason that he's the interim executive 804 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 3: director is because our guy Tony Clark, he resigned on 805 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 3: Tuesday follows an internal investigation that revealed an inappropriate relationship 806 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 3: with his sister in law, And so T Clark is 807 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 3: out in steps in Bruce Meyer, albeit on an interim basis, 808 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 3: but a big deal. And wow, that is the ultimate 809 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 3: what are we doing? What are we doing? Tony Clark? 810 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 3: Come on, come your sister in law? And this is 811 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 3: how you get the gate brutal. 812 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: I I. 813 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 4: Just don't understand how you can have two women in 814 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 4: your life. I can barely manage one, barely manage my 815 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 4: own with my own life, yeah, and like to have 816 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 4: a second one in your life, even if it's just 817 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 4: for that, And like I okay, I mean sure, I 818 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 4: that's how you want to Roll. I mean it's I 819 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 4: I just and on actual like his job knows. Like 820 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 4: baseball is up for a big negotiation after this season, 821 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 4: and it seems like it's gonna be very contentious, and 822 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 4: it would it's not shocking if they missed time, by 823 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 4: the way, spend missing time, Brian. The w n b 824 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 4: A is gonna have a long labor issues yea. And 825 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,479 Speaker 4: they're gonna use up all the momentum that they've built 826 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 4: over the last two years to have a work stoppage. 827 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 4: And every time I see a story about I think 828 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 4: about how much we've talked about this, you know, this 829 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 4: topic in the summer, and I think they're gonna make 830 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 4: a huge mistake both sides and not finding a way 831 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 4: to get a season started on time this year. It 832 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 4: was very unlikely for that to happen. 833 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 3: They very well might, so we might have work stoppage 834 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 3: with WNBA. Looks like we're destined to have a work 835 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:13,760 Speaker 3: stoppage with MLB. 836 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 4: We'll get the season in though, we'll get this season 837 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 4: in for baseball.
