9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: football extravaganza continues. The twelve team playoff quarterfinals make way

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: for what will be a very raucous NFL Week eighteen.

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: Later on the show, you may ask yourself what's at

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: stake in the NFL Week eighteen?

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: Nothing, just seeding, viewership, draft, position, playoff opportunities. I'll break

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: it down for you. Look in the same way Sinatra

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: things New York, New York. But I want to dive

17
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: into the twelve team playoff. I got a little I

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: got a little bone to pick with some peeps. You know,

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: about a week ago, there was a three or four

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: day period where the group Thinke Echo Chamber and the

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: naysayers and the whiners and the punnits, they all got

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: together and course, like the King family google at Knuckleheads,

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: all they wanted to do was to decry the new

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: twelve team college football playoff games are blowouts, wrong teams

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: are in blah blah blah, neatly ignoring that prior to

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: this year's format, the last twenty semi final games, fourteen

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: of them were decided by a margin or fourteen points

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: or more. Eight of them were decided by a margin

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: of twenty points and more. But I digress. But it

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: was just noise, and the noise passed because if you

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: watched Thursday, the slate of games proved this was the

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: perfigure to debut the twelve team format. Yeah, the perfect year,

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: I'll explain. Do you know that under last year's format,

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State wouldn't have even been in the four team

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: playoff and the previous two team model would have excluded Texas.

36
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: Now both scored big wins Thursday in different fashion because

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: you survive in advance, and now each hold the best

38
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: odds to win the whole thing in respective order. Is

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: it fair that either is here after losing to Michigan

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: and losing to Georgia in their last respective regular season games.

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't really care either, might be the best team

42
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: I think Ohio State is, and at this time we're

43
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: going to find out for sure on the field. Number two,

44
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: Arizona State, defying all the odds, also proved they belonged

45
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: in this field. With a smaller tournament, we would have

46
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: never gotten Thursday's double overtime banger against Texas, which might

47
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: have the best college football game in a body year.

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: Imagining not getting to witness Camp Scatabo literally punking and

49
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: rallying for two hundred and eighty four total yards and

50
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: the biggest stage in college football would have been criminal. Oh,

51
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: by the way, I might touch on this in the

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: midnight hour, What the hell? How did Texas avoid that

53
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: obvious targeting call that was a non targeting call older

54
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: respect The dude led with the crown of his helmet

55
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: made contact with the crown of the helmet of the receiver.

56
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: It was textbook targeting, and yet they didn't call it.

57
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: That would have moved the change fifteen yards up Texas.

58
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: Arizona would have been looking at, you know, moving up

59
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: a few yards and having a field goal to win

60
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: the whole thing. But again, I digress. Let's take this

61
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: point further, heading into the tournament. The only team everyone

62
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: agreed on as being elite that no one would have

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: left off their list. It was Oregon. They were undefeated,

64
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: and they had beaten three teams in the tournament, Penn State,

65
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and Poise State. And Ohio State rode them

66
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: like a stickhorse. Now, I was told, and I told

67
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: a couple of people, one of my moles and Columbus said,

68
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: the first time Ohio State played Oregon, their DB's were

69
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: so freaked out the first two series and how much

70
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: speed Oregon had all over the field that they were

71
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: in shock, and it took a minute to wake up.

72
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: But they knew what they were up against this time.

73
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: And Ohio State can match anybody skill for skill anybody,

74
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: and they did on Saturday or Thursday. And Ohio State

75
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: has an league defense, but you already knew that. So

76
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: and by the way, it was in the Rose Bowl,

77
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: the granddaddy of them all. So it's difficult to reconcile that.

78
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: How Ohio State lost to Michigan a month ago and

79
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: they got a team full of terminators, most notably Jeremiah Smith.

80
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: Where if you ever saw Julio Jones as a freshman,

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: you're seeing Julio Jones all over again. That's how good

82
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: this guy is. Again. You want to complain, You want

83
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: to whine, you want to bitch. Ohio State would not

84
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: have even been in the fourteen playoff last year based

85
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: on the criteria they used. Oh And also, by the way,

86
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: remember this format has at least created a pathway for

87
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: schools to have a chance and duke it out on

88
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: the field, win, loser, draw. Another takeaway, give it up

89
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: to Notre Dame. I think most of us underestimated Notre

90
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: Dame because you couldn't get the Northern Illinois loss oude

91
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: of your head. How did they beat Georgia? It was

92
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: a classic fist fight in the phone booth, Ugly physical,

93
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: low scoring. It could it beat Notre Dame out Georgia.

94
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: The overall stats aren't real flattering. Riley Leonard threw for

95
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: ninety yards. That's the lowest by a winning team in

96
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: college football playoff history. However, three things stood out that

97
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: made sure that Marcus Freeman and the Fighting Irish punched

98
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: their ticket to the my final game against Penn State,

99
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: now number one. Notre Dame won the trenches. They physically

100
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: dominated Kirby Smarts Georgia team and the line of scrimmage.

101
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: You can count on one hand, it maybe one finger,

102
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: how many times that's happened during Kirby Smart's tenure at Georgia.

103
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: Notre Dame has always sent plenty of linemen to the

104
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: NFL in recent years, but the program seemingly would fall

105
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: short physically when given a chance to compete against set teams.

106
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: That's not for debate. Didn't seem to bode well for

107
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: the quarterfinal matchup against maybe the arguably the most physical

108
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: team in college football over the last eight years. Notre

109
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: Dame won that argument convincingly. Second thing, Notre Dame forced turnovers.

110
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's played fourteen games on the season, they forced

111
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: at least one turnover in thirteen games, the only one

112
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 2: without a takeaway Ye you guessed it against Northern Illinois

113
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: and we two simply put, if you let the Irish

114
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: take the ball away, it's going to be a long day,

115
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: long day. Sack fumble recovery that gave the Irish credible

116
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: field position, wasted no time in catching a get on

117
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: that chance and ensuing touchdown that pushed Notre Dame to

118
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: a thirteen to three league just before the half. That

119
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: was a backbreaker. That was a shocking turn of events

120
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: since not long before that Georgia led three nothing and

121
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: then score was tied three to three. That puts the

122
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: Irish at one hundred and forty points checked out, one

123
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: hundred and forty eight points off scored turnovers this campaign.

124
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: That's like fifty more than the next best team in

125
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: the FPS. What else did Notre Dame do made plays

126
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: on special teams? Now Georgia has shown its resolved, durous

127
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: time this season. They've trailed in a lot of games.

128
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: No lead is safe Georgia when they needed to one,

129
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: but the old Mike Tyston, nobody's got a plan to

130
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: they get punch in the mouth. And the punch of

131
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: the mouth was the opening kickoff in the second half,

132
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: a ninety eight yard touchdown run, the highlight of the

133
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: special team's unit all of a sudden twenty to three,

134
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: and go back and watch the film. Notre Dame almost

135
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: blocked every punt they saw and they repeatedly kept the

136
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: bulldog pinned give it up to Notre Dame. One final

137
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: takeaway from the CFB playoffs so far the SEC. Now,

138
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: I've been a defender of the SEC how can you

139
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: not be. They've had five different schools win a national

140
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: championship since nineteen ninety eight. They've been a fixed year,

141
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: and got Sankey is still a fixed year. He's still

142
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: as visible as ever, but his generally forceful football machine

143
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: that you would call the SEC is failing to produce. First,

144
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: the league got just three teams in a twelve team playoff,

145
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: regardless of all the hysterical complaining that produced from coaches.

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, Lane Kiffin. Yeah, feel free to

147
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: beat Kentucky when you're a fourteen point favorite. Feel free

148
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: to beat Louisville when you're a twelve point favorite. Yeah,

149
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: how'd that work out? South Carolina Illinois three year on

150
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: the field, all right, But the three teams that got combined.

151
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: Check that. Check that. The three teams that got in

152
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: are a combined two and two in the tournament and

153
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: kind of a shaky two and two. Tennessee got blown

154
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: out by Ohio State in the first round game forty

155
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: two to seventeen. Georgia. Of course, they had their season ending,

156
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, injury to Carson Beck, but no excuses, paging

157
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: Cardell Jones. Look it up. Look beyond the playoff. The

158
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: SECS had multiple other bull stinkers. Alabama, which had the

159
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: most people lobbying for it as a playoff team, was awful.

160
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: They looked horrible beating Michigan as a fourteen point favorite.

161
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: And Jalen rolls, I'm Jalen Rose, be nice. I could

162
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 2: speak English, Jalen Milroe, and Jalen Rose isn't either. You're

163
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: not a major league quarterback. Whoever plugged you in the

164
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: first round needs to talk to Stevie Wonder because even

165
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: he could see that you're not a first round quarterback.

166
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: You may find you may land on a roster, you

167
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: may have a job at the NFL. I'm not saying

168
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: that you're not a first round quarterback. South Carolina another

169
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: team deserved a playoff bid. They told us they did.

170
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: Lost to Illinois. They had they were a nine point favorite. Oklahoma,

171
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: remember they're in the SEC now. They Louston Navy and

172
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Texas A and m lost the USC. Other than that

173
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: house the play Missus Lincoln. It's not like this league

174
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: is in danger collapse or anything. But look, for a

175
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: while it was, you know, the SEC's world, and we

176
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: were all just visiting. Not so much coming up. We

177
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: have a hell of a weekend slate, and it starts

178
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: with a pretty damn good doubleheader tomorrow where there are

179
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: real legitimate playoff implications between these two matchups, even though

180
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: you know, obviously Cleving's not going anywhere, but Baltimore has

181
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: a you know, incentive to win that game. In the

182
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Pittsburgh game should be a slugfest, and they both

183
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: have their motives. We're bringing our guys, Joe Gibbs, NFL

184
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: Rep Stats a genius when it comes to finding those

185
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: situational angles when certain referees are assigned to a game

186
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: and oh, by the way, they have tendencies to call,

187
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, call certain penalties on certain teams in certain situations.

188
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: And how you juxtapose that with teams that have a

189
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: proclivity to maybe commit to me holding penalties or you

190
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,160

202
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: fan favorite on the show's been here many times because

203
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: it's an incredibly unique perspective research and knowledge on how

204
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: referees may or may not impact an NFL games, certainly

205
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: the wagering side, not intentionally, but by their habits, by

206
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: the repeated proclivities to call certain penalties or certain situations.

207
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: Welcome in, Joe Gibbs, NFL ref stats, Joe, how you doing,

208
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: Buddy good? How you doing good? Man? So before I

209
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: dive into the Saturday doubleheader and beyond, I really want

210
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: to get your take, ever so quickly, Joe. There was

211
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: an obvious targeting call non call in the Texas Arizona

212
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: State game which might have very well shifted the outcome

213
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: of that game. And also a very obvious non non

214
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: offensive pass interference call in the Penn State Boise State

215
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 2: came which prevented a Boise State player from retrieving an interception.

216
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: When you see these things happening even in a college game.

217
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: What goes through your mind?

218
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 5: What goes in my mind? I wish I knew more

219
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 5: about these these referee crews, you know, big picture. I mean,

220
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 5: we're just seeing a glimpse of it from one game.

221
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 5: We don't know them from one game to the next,

222
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: so you can't get a good grip on them week

223
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: to week and then really take advantage of it. As

224
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 5: far as the two goals you're speaking of, you know,

225
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 5: the offensive pass and appearance on the on the Boise State,

226
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: I mean, not good, but it was early in the game.

227
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: You know that you can overcome those things. But the

228
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 5: targeting call in the Arizona State gaming that was a

229
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 5: real bad non call. I get at the referees they

230
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 5: want to stay out of the way in those high leverage,

231
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: you know, late game situations. But I mean, the targeting rule,

232
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 5: in my opinion is it's a dumb rule to begin with.

233
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: I don't like it.

234
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: But having said that, by the letter of the law,

235
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 5: you know, from what I've seen throughout college football this season,

236
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: that's targeting. I I've seen less call than that, So

237
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 5: it's just a bad miss. It cost Arizona State most

238
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 5: likely the game. And that's I mean, that's.

239
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: He led with the kid led with the crown of

240
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: his helmets.

241
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 5: Oh, there's no doubt, no one's it's targeting. There's no

242
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 5: if send bots about it. It's just.

243
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: What just happened. Because it went to a replay booth.

244
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: They review all suspected targeting calls. How could anybody in

245
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: a crew that's paid to do this look at that

246
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: and say, ah, hell, let's just not call it. You know,

247
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: I'm not a conspiracy theorist and I can't read minds,

248
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: but it's like, geez, we don't really want Arizona State

249
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: to win. It's not good for ratings. I hate to

250
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: be a jackass like that, but is that what happened?

251
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: Bingo Boni, that's it, That's exactly what happened. Because who

252
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: do you want in the next round? You want Texas

253
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 5: massive fan base, huge name or Arizona State. I mean,

254
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: does that answer your question right there? I think you've

255
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 5: hit the nail on the head.

256
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: All right. I think that's fair. All right, let's move

257
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: along to the NFL. I know you and I have

258
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: talked about this. It's just a matter of time before

259
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: somebody could commission you to do this in college, which

260
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: would almost a possible because there's like three hundred games

261
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: every weekend. But be that as it may. Big weekend, Joe,

262
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: Big week And let's start out with Cleveland Baltimore. Your

263
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: buddy Scott Novak is on that crew, and uh, and

264
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: I know, you know you have got some thoughts because

265
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: Cleveland's catching twenty points, which I don't you know, I

266
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: know there, I'll tell you what you take it away.

267
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm stammering. You don't lay twenty points in the NFL period,

268
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: you don't do.

269
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 5: It right right right. When I actually did the preview

270
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 5: for this game, I think the points bread was eighteen

271
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 5: and I hadn't paid attention since and I saw earlier

272
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 5: it was up to twenty. But whatever, Yeah, so no back.

273
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 5: These guys they more of an offensive offensive penalty crew.

274
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 5: Fifty seven percent of that penalty is on the offense,

275
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 5: which is third in the NFL. Third down, they only

276
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: call thirty five percent of the penalties on the defense.

277
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 5: So you kind of get the idea that these guys

278
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: tilt one way and that favors the defenses, the Browns offense,

279
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: you know, with a crew like Novak's who does look

280
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 5: the penalty the offense. Brown's number one for pre sint

281
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 5: penalties per game their offense. He counts as sixty three

282
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: percent of the team's penalties. I mean, they're a bad team.

283
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 5: I didn't know who the quarterback is.

284
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be It's gonna be Bailey Zappi, which

285
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: I think is a big, big time upgrade from DTR.

286
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just.

287
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: Look, it's not a serious franchise. I don't know what

288
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: to say about it except that, look, we all know

289
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen. If Baltimore was going to try and

290
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 5: get in and get out with a win. Divisional home

291
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 5: teams haven't done well with Novak. They're twelve and twenty

292
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 5: and one against the spread thirty nine percent in his career. Again,

293
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: Baltimore is looking just to win and look move on

294
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 5: to next week. So are they going to cover twenty?

295
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: I have no idea. I'm not going to bet the game.

296
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 5: They could win twenty three to six. I mean they

297
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 5: could win thirty to nine. I don't know. Novak's going

298
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 5: to look the call against the offense more so than

299
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 5: the defense. That's all like tell you, the Browns offense

300
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 5: is a joke. One of the most penalizes in the league.

301
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 5: Baltimore with the motivation they're at home, whether they cover,

302
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know.

303
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: Well with DTR I think they would have had a

304
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: better chance in covering, but I think you get out

305
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: on top and your cruise in. They didn't get out.

306
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 2: Nobody's hurt. And it caught my eye is you had,

307
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: like Baltimore like one and six at home against the number,

308
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: and that's typically when they're laying around a touchdown. Now

309
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: they're basically laying three touchdowns.

310
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: Right.

311
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: Here's the miss normal about Listen. I don't know who's

312
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: going to play and who's not, but you only dress

313
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: forty six in the NFL, and it's not like the

314
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: preseason when you're playing guys they're gonna be working at

315
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: NAP Auto Parts next month. These are all NFL players

316
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 2: who know they're getting twenty points. They're not gonna like it.

317
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: And Miles Garrett, I think, is going for some sack

318
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: record too. So that's that's just an acid.

319
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 5: If I if I was the better anything, Bernie, it

320
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 5: would actually be the under in this game. This is

321
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 5: more of an undercrew again, I'm not sure how much

322
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 5: Cleveland scores. Baltimore is probably going to get that. You know,

323
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 5: twenty three, twenty seven, you know you're going under forty

324
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: one all.

325
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: Are Let's moved to the night game, which has certainly

326
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: more interest. John Hussey has, I guess, a little different

327
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 2: track record when it comes to divisional home teams.

328
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 5: Joe Oh absolutely does.

329
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: He leaves.

330
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 5: He leaves the pack as firing as a home field

331
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 5: advantage referee. So here's some numbers. Now, this is not

332
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 5: a misprint. Divisional home scene since twenty sixteen with John

333
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 5: Hussey forty four and fifteen straight up seventy four percent,

334
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: forty seventeen and two against the spread seventy percent. That

335
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 5: includes this season six and one straight up and five

336
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 5: and two against the spread for divisional home teams. So

337
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 5: this is an excellent home field advantage crew. They don't

338
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 5: call a lot of penalties. They're going to try to

339
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 5: look to stay out of the way, which I like,

340
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 5: that's my preference with any officiating crew. But when they

341
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 5: do call penalties, they've sort of shot away from the

342
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 5: offensive holding full start penalties. That put more emphasis this

343
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 5: year on those defensive holding, defensive pass and apperance penalties.

344
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 5: It kind of favored Cincinnati in that respect because they're

345
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 5: they're one of the best teams that Number one with

346
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 5: the Vikings, they correct Number one is a beneficiary of

347
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 5: automatic first downs by a penalty. That means the offense.

348
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 5: They talk about penalties against teams, but they don't talk

349
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 5: about how many penalties a team benefits from. Well, the

350
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 5: Bengals and the Vikings are number one, and so the Bengals.

351
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: Can throw it.

352
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 5: They can put some pressure on the Pittsburgh defense. You

353
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 5: got a crew who will throw some penalties along the way,

354
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 5: some penalty flags and for defensive pass and appearance, illegal contact,

355
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 5: defensive holding. Look, I've been against Pittsburgh the last three weeks.

356
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 5: It's been a murderer's row. You know, Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs,

357
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 5: Cincinnati's running hot. I like them last week against them.

358
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: But we spoke about it, Joe.

359
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: You're paying a Bengals tax. They're laying three points down

360
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: the road in a game. Pittsburgh's motivated to win because

361
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: they'd rather play Hu the following week. And I agree

362
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: with everything he said about the Bengals offense, but that

363
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: defense stinks and their game management and situation will play.

364
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: They're not a buttoned up team anymore.

365
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: No, they're not.

366
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: I mean Borough mosks to one of the issues. I'm

367
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: riding the hot hand. I mean, I'm gonna ride the

368
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 5: hot hand with Borrow until he loses. And the last

369
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 5: time Cincinnati lost was against Pittsburgh back in week thirteen.

370
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: I think it was actually had Pittsburgh that day plus

371
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 5: three at Cincinnati. I think it was forty four to

372
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 5: thirty eight finals score. That was a loss on the

373
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 5: Bengals lost. The football game was at versus Pittsburgh week thirteen.

374
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: You do bring up a good point. You can't be

375
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: one hundred percent sure of how much motivation as Steelers

376
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: have this that's face to the Cincinnati's gotta only win

377
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: and they need about four things to happen, and they're

378
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: not likely to happen at all. It would not be

379
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: I think this is a tight game. I just think

380
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: this is a very tight game.

381
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 5: Oh it's gonna be closed. If you told me it

382
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 5: wasn't going to be a tight Genvil, I wouldn't believe you.

383
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 5: Every Cincinnati gang seems to come down to the wire

384
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 5: and Pittsburgh it's a divisional game, it's going to be close.

385
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm I'm riding with Joe Burrow.

386
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: All right, Joe, let's move along. A game I have

387
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: real interest in, and I'm being serious, is Denver Kansas City.

388
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: When I saw that Kansas City was catching ten and

389
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: a half, I grabbed it before they changed their mind.

390
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, it's stayed around ten and a half. It's

391
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: not like Carson Wentz hasn't played in this league. I

392
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: don't think you're gonna see any Kelsey, You're gonna see

393
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: any Mahomes. You're gonna see plenty of Chiefs players that

394
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: are good enough to give Denver a run. And Andy

395
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: Reid as a dog, he's like six and zero against

396
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: the number the last six times he's been a dog

397
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: ten and a half, giving Andy Reid and the Chiefs

398
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: ten and a half. The real question is how does

399
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: Sean hockey Ley and his crew factor into who that

400
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: might favor.

401
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 5: All Right, so, Hockeyley, these guys lead the league for

402
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 5: offensive penalties sixty percent of their penalies called on the offense.

403
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 5: That's obviously number one in the NFL. And then that combination,

404
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 5: that dastardly combination of false starts and offensive holding. These

405
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 5: guys ranked second overall as a percentage of their overall penalties.

406
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 5: So there's a quick focus on the offense. Chiefs offenses

407
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 5: generally pretty disciplined. Prestat penalties a minimal offensive holding is

408
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 5: their issue though, so they could have some issues there.

409
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 5: I'm not sure who's sitting for the offensive line if

410
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 5: there's someone resting, but that's a bit of a problem.

411
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 5: Denver has their issues on that front as well, so

412
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 5: probably even down in the end. But divisional matchups, this

413
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: is a key. Sean Hockeyley in his career twenty six

414
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 5: fourteen and one to the under sixty five percent in

415
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 5: divisional games. The Chiefs, you know, played a lot of

416
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 5: games with him seven to two straight up, five and

417
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 5: four against the spread. But they've been favored by six

418
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 5: and a half points on average in those nine contests,

419
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 5: and as you said, they're getting ten and a half tomorrow.

420
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: I don't mind p and howf and wins.

421
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 5: I actually think it's a pretty good backup. Yeah, I mean,

422
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 5: it's can swing it.

423
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 6: And so then he got the.

424
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: Eagles right to the edge of the Super Bowl seven

425
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: years ago, but he got hurt, and then uh, he.

426
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 5: Got hurt, and then he had some issues, But I mean,

427
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 5: he's still got the talent and you're playing in a

428
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 5: perfect system with any read I don't know. If Kansas

429
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 5: City goes out there and lets him swing it around

430
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 5: and plays to win, oh absolutely, that ten and a

431
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 5: half of gifts, I just don't know. As with a

432
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 5: lot of these games, you just don't know. You're kind

433
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 5: of guessing. But yeah, if Kansas City is playing at

434
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: least yeah, if they're not completely mailing it in, the

435
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 5: ten and a half to me, is the way to

436
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: go for sure.

437
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: All right now, before I'm gonna I'll tell you what

438
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I actually am going to jump out of Orderer.

439
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna do this, and we'll just do kind

440
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: of a once over if obviously, if we can only

441
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: watch one game all weekend, it would be Minnesota Detroit

442
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday night, and people have to know how important

443
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: this game is. The winner is the number one seed.

444
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: The loser is the number five seed. As you probably

445
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: know Joe in the last fifty number one seeds, twenty

446
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: six mated to the super Bowl, and nine one it

447
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: out right. The loser has to win three straight playoff

448
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: games on the road to get to the Super Bowl.

449
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: That's only been done five times. The last two quarterbacks

450
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: to do it were Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Where

451
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: am I going with this? Detroit Minnesota Again, You've got

452
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: a crew here that focuses on certain emphasis. Take us

453
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: down the road because I think the same referee it's

454
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: working Saturday's working Sunday.

455
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 5: Right, No, no, no, no, this is the Brad Rodgers

456
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 5: crew on the.

457
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: Brad Rodgers Okay, I'm sorry, okay, yeah.

458
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no no, but yeah, these guys, there's two areas.

459
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: That's there's more than two, the.

460
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: Two that I really focused on this week.

461
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 5: They co ranked number one for defensive possins appearance. They

462
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 5: also ranked number one for offensive pass interference and over

463
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 5: the past three seasons, no crew has called more offensive

464
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 5: pass interference penalties than these guys. Now, it's not a

465
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 5: high volume, high volume penalty, so it's not going to

466
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 5: be called, you know, three times a game or anything

467
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 5: like that. But if anyone's going to call it, these guys.

468
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 5: So my point is they focus on the perimeter more

469
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 5: so than most and so you think about the talent

470
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 5: on that field on Sunday night. So I'll be curious

471
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 5: to see how they go about enforcing this stuff. If

472
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 5: they're going to sort of sit back and let them

473
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: play a bit more, which I hope they do, or

474
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 5: if they continue the way they've sort of conducted themselves

475
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 5: this season and throw excessive flags.

476
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: I just don't know. But those are the numbers with

477
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: these guys.

478
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 5: As it attains to sort of that key element on

479
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 5: the outside, you know, the offensive and defensive pass and

480
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 5: apperence penalties. The big picture with this guy. Brad Rodgers's

481
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 5: divisional home teams nineteen fifteen against the spread in his

482
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 5: career fifty six percent. He's actually twenty and fourteen the

483
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: over individual matchups for his career, So this is a

484
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 5: real high total. I know that.

485
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 3: I'm not sure where you sit.

486
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: There's one thing I want to dive into, is that

487
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 2: you mean to cuts you off there close to the

488
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: stat that the Vikings offense is number one in the

489
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: league beneficiary.

490
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll get to that in the second.

491
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead and go ahead and do that, because

492
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 2: do it now, because I want to juxtapose that against

493
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: the inconvenient truth about the Detroit defense right now.

494
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So, as I mentioned with Cincinnati, like they correct

495
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 5: number one for automatic first downs, via penalties. Well, they

496
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 5: correct with the Minnesota Vikings offense. So those two teams,

497
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 5: again very similar, makeup good quarterbacks. Obviously Borrows better than Donald,

498
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 5: but you've got these elite wide receiver talent on both teams.

499
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: They can throw the ball down the field, put stretch

500
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 5: on the opposing defense. And a byproduct of that is,

501
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 5: you know, beneficial penalties. And I saw it last week

502
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: with Cincinnati they got five automatic first downs via penalty

503
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 5: versus Denver. The Vikings will probably do the same thing.

504
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 7: Here.

505
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: The Lines defense is ranked second surrendering automatic first downs

506
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 5: via penalty. So you look at that and you're like,

507
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 5: let's not good for Detroit. The positive to the Lines

508
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 5: is only twenty percent of those are current a third down,

509
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 5: and that's the key down. The league average is thirty

510
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 5: one point eight percent, so on the money down on

511
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 5: the third down. The Lines don't commit an excessive amount

512
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 5: of penalties surrendering automatic first downs, So that's a positive.

513
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 5: And the other one is pre snap penalty.

514
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: This is huge, This is really this gets.

515
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 5: Lost in the shuffle, but the Vikings ranked six for

516
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 5: pre snap penalties per game. You know, false starts, illegal motions,

517
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 5: delay games, things of that anature. The lines rank thirty

518
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 5: second and they're the best in the league. They're like

519
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 5: a well oiled machine. Offensively, the penalty is a minimal,

520
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 5: so they play ahead of the chains. They're not getting

521
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 5: into those long downs and that's what allows them to

522
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 5: control the clock, and then it allows them to at

523
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 5: least keep their defense on the sideline and minimize the

524
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 5: exposure against opposing offenses.

525
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: By the way, just what I wanted to share with Cincinnati.

526
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: I digress Cincinnati, and Nolly has to win. They need

527
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: Denver to lose, which is very possible in Miami to lose.

528
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 2: So it's a tall order. They have to go three

529
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: and ozero. So you juxtaposed the Vikings as beneficiaries of

530
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 2: their offensive prowess, which it pertains to offensive penalties and

531
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: the Lion's defense. In December and January, they're allowing thirty

532
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 2: two points per game, and the last ten Super Bowl

533
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: winners average only sixteen point seven points per game. So

534
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: this is a team that since Thanksgiving ranks last or

535
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: dead last in five key metrics. Points allowed yards per play,

536
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: yards passing yards per game allowed, rush touchdowns allowed on

537
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: opponent's passer rating. They drank last or thirtieth in every

538
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: one of those categories, and they're going up against a

539
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: prolific offense. Four let your run handicapped the game ever

540
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: so quickly. Do you feel like the Lions just have

541
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: their number and they will away to do it? Or

542
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: you saw what happened against San Francisco. The Niners put

543
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: up four and seventy five yards thirty four points, left

544
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: seven points on the board with back kicking and proty

545
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: through two terrible picks, and the Lions struggled.

546
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 5: The Donald control a couple of bad picks on Sunday

547
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 5: night as well. I mean, he's not immune to that.

548
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 3: So look the lines.

549
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 5: I wrote this in the run off. I said, look,

550
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to control the line of scrimmage, control

551
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 5: possession and win win thirty four to twenty sixth somewhere

552
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 5: in that range as far as time of possession, that's

553
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 5: exactly what they did against San Francisco. Maybe get a

554
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 5: beneficial tone over here or they if they come to that,

555
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 5: they're in major trouble. If time of possession is equal,

556
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 5: the lines are in major trouble. They have to win

557
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 5: the time of possession and control the claw.

558
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: Hey Joe, great stuff. Man, and you know the playoffs

559
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: are right around the corner that you know, referees will

560
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: be all the more important and visible as they've always

561
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: been in the past. Do you remember the sideline call

562
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: Bengals and Chiefs four years ago? Joe? Remember that My

563
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: great stuff was always Joe gets a rest, Bardy. We'll

564
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: talk soon, Okay, Bennie, have a good one. See you, buddy.

565
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: That is Joe Gibbs. Follow him on Twitter at NFL Refstats.

566
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: His knowledge and tracking of referee their proclivities, their habits,

567
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: what they're likely to do on the road at home

568
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: divisional games, non divisional games, offense defense. It's amazing the

569
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 2: work he does. Coming up, we're gonna set up the

570
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: midnight hour, and I even hear what Siquon Barkley has

571
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: to say. We have three really good topics. Callers have

572
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: been phenomenal twenty one minutes away from midnight literally from

573
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: where I sit in Las Vegas, and of course perhaps

574
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: where you said, or certainly midnight figuratively as we have

575
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: listeners around the world, and then signifies you've kind of

576
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: got the last word. Really looking forward to some of

577
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: the opinions tonight because a couple of polarizing subjects, and

578
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: not everybody always agrees on these things. Football fans, be

00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: We're thirteen minutes away from a fresh edition of the

593
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: Midnight Hour. The callers had been fantastic seven nine nine

594
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: six six three six nine. We like to put out,

595
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: you know, things that are in the ether, that are topical,

596
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: that require sometimes some critical thought. Uh, the one topic

597
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how much this, how much lift this

598
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: will get. It appears the decision has been made, and

599
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: it appears that for now, Eric Dickerson, who seemed to

600
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: be greatly worried about losing his rushing record, is safe.

601
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: And of course, in this day and age of sound bites,

602
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: the chief protagonist, Sakuon Barkley, had some quick thoughts about

603
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: the decision that was made. Just give it a.

604
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 8: Listen, acting if I wanted to play, If I want

605
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 8: to go for it, I said on Sunday, I probably

606
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 8: didn't care too much for it. When I slept on it,

607
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 8: it was like this opportunity to implant my you know,

608
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 8: my name in football history. May never get another opportunity

609
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 8: like that again. So I'm down. But at the end

610
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 8: of the day, I don't care for putting the team

611
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 8: at risk. He's a head coach for the reason he

612
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 8: makes the decisions, and whatever decision he wanted to make,

613
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 8: I love him. If you want me to play, I'm

614
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 8: gonna go out there and make sure I get it.

615
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 8: And if we don't, I'm okay with that too.

616
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: So it's a highly personal decision. Obviously, there's risk reward

617
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: aspects to this thing. It's it football is a team game.

618
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: So truly, in an ideal world, you did you put

619
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: the team first? Which appeers the cooler heads prevailed. You know,

620
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: as Woody Hayes one said, two things can happen, Three

621
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: things can happen, and two are bad. Uh so you

622
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 2: know the risk of injury. He may or may not

623
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: get the record, and he would need one hundred and

624
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: two yards to break the record. Or he may get

625
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: the record, the Eagles could lose win whatever they have

626
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: designs on winning a super Bowl, and therein lies I

627
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: think the deciding factor as to why cooler heads prevailed

628
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: as it were. But if he would have said, hey,

629
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: I want the damn record and played, you know I don't.

630
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: It's their business, but we want to hear from you.

631
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven nine nine sixty six three sixty nine.

632
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: Should Saquon Barkley play, I think he would have been

633
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: likely he would have broken the record. And then there

634
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: are issues of okay, but he's playing more games than

635
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: Eric Dickerson play, And then well but what if he

636
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: breaks the record but gets hurt? What if he doesn't

637
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: break the record and gets hurt. What if they end

638
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: up not winning the Super Bowl? Whatever the case may

639
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 2: be you see you take this where you want to go,

640
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: especially people from Philadelphia. How do you feel about this?

641
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six, six three sixty nine.

642
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 2: Should Sequon Barkley play? Should he play? And to hell

643
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: with it? Man Dan Campbell threw care to the win

644
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 2: last week. The one got hurt. Most times they don't.

645
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: So sometimes you hold mental pictures of what you don't

646
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 2: want to happen in sports and act as if it were.

647
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: And that's not always the way to go. But look,

648
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: I get it. This is a highly charged situation. I mean,

649
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: Eric Dickers is going to touch the football for forty

650
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: years and he's still pissed off about it, So it's

651
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: not a non subject. The second thing is, okay, the

652
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: CFP playoffs underway. You heard in my opening monologue. I

653
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: want to know what your biggest complaint is, if you

654
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: have one, what changes would you like to see? Because

655
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 2: I understand the committee's meeting next month to talk about

656
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: potential changes next year. One of the things everybody's talking

657
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: about is they don't like the seeding format and they

658
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: don't like the fact that you don't receid. Remember the

659
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: top five rank conference champions received automatic bids to the playoff,

660
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: whereas for those top teams also got first drawn buys Oregon, Georgia,

661
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: Boise State, and Arizona State. Guess what they all lost?

662
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: They all lost in the quarterfinals. And here's really the

663
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: kicker in Sader's are now saying that the likelihood that

664
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 2: the committee will make changes for the college football playoff

665
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: format is slim. Here's why because apparently the way that

666
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: the group that meets on these issues is currently formatted,

667
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: the way that the bylaws as it were, are are structured,

668
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 2: is that they are in a period right now where

669
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: any change has to be unanimous. So this is why

670
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 2: you could throw a monkey wrench easily into changes next year.

671
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: Part of these part of this group, this committee involves

672
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: a group of five commissioners, including the Mountain West, where

673
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: you've got Boise State not only in the College Football Playoff,

674
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: but they got a first run by. And you ask yourself,

675
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: if you are the commissioner of the Mountain West, are

676
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: you saying, oh, what the hell will concede our first

677
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 2: run by if our team wins the tournamentos the rules

678
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: you made? Do you think he's going to do that?

679
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: So I think somewhat unlikely frankly that there are changes

680
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: next year. Although this needs to be discussed, they should recede.

681
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 2: There's no way Oregon should have had to play Ohio

682
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: State in the quarterfinals. That would be like an I know,

683
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: just go play along with me. They'd be like Kansas

684
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: City having to play Detroit in the first round of

685
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I know they're in different conferences, but it's

686
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 2: the same thing.

687
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: Oh.

688
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: By the way, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankee, he's very much

689
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: in support of the college football changes for twenty twenty five,

690
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: including the seeding format, and so right now, the contractors

691
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: for twenty four and twenty five along for changes to

692
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: be made for the twenty six season. So changes were

693
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: made for next season, all ten FBS conferences and Notre

694
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: Dame would have to, you know, unanimously agree. You'd have

695
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: to go eleven for eleven. So that's why. But we're

696
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 2: going to talk about this on the midnight hour. What

697
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: changes would you like to see happen? So it should

698
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 2: Charles Well, should Saquon Barkley play? Do you have complaints

699
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 2: about the twelve team format? What change would be like? Finally,

700
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs, who people have been railing on

701
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: all year. They're lucky. This can't continue. Blah blah blah.

702
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: They're headed for a three peat? Man? Is that good

703
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: or bad for the NFL? You tell me you are

704
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: you tired of seeing the same team over and over again?

705
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: Do you have a little you know, Travis Kelcey over exposure,

706
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes a little fatigue? Or hey? Is this great?

707
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 2: Because evil empires create dynasties which create love and hate?

708
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: So should Saquon Barkley play? What changes would you like

709
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: to see in the college football playoff format? And oh,

710
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 2: by the way, if the Chiefs three peat in their

711
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: quest repeat, would you like to see that is a

712
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 2: good or bad for the NFL? Eight seven seven nine

713
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: nine six six three six nine eight seven seven ninety

714
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: nine On Fox the Men, that hour is up. Let's

00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: the CFB Playoff, and the Chiefs Dynasty in quotes, it's time.

Speaker 2: It's a midnight hour, all right. Love it when people

Speaker 2: We start out with Steve and Kansas City. Steve, Welcome in, buddy.

731
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 2: Where'd you like to start?

732
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 9: Oh, Bernie, the twenty sixth day training camp for a

733
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 9: title number, the Uncrestedented, three feet, the break the professional

734
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 9: sports and begun. But what was precisely your question about

735
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 9: the Chiefs Again?

736
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 2: I want to make well, I'll give you an example here.

737
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 2: Here's not everybody likes to see this. Uh, I'm cool,

738
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: but a lot of people I respect truck stop fungus

739
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: tweets and the three pat is not good. We had

740
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 2: our belly full of the Patriots dynasty. Now we're into

741
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: the So I thought the salary cap was supposed to

742
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 2: create an even field. So not everybody's down with the

743
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: three peat. Is it good or bad for the NFL?

744
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 2: That's the question.

745
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 9: Well, I think it's fantastic for the for the NFL.

746
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 9: Bernie as my favorite, one of my favorite Ben Hogan quotes,

747
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 9: who says the harder I work and the more I prepare,

748
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 9: the luckier.

749
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: I seem to love that or Trevino, I don't know,

750
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: but it's a great, a good one. But continue on.

751
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 9: The ratings for the Super Bowl were larger than the

752
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 9: Moon landing, so that that that kind of that when

753
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 9: the Chiefs won, and over time they eclipsed the landing

754
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 9: on the Moon, so so that that that's cool.

755
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: Hell is, six months after the landing on the Moon,

756
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs beat the Vikings underdogs. So you're into something

757
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 2: and I.

758
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 9: Think we're going to top it again. The Chiefs will

759
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 9: conquer the Lions in a fantastic game, and Travis Kelsey

760
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 9: will get on one knee and retire and propose to

761
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 9: try to Taylor.

762
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, if you if.

763
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 9: You hate us now, you're really you're really gonna hate

764
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 9: us in a couple in a couple of months. For

765
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 9: my prediction, But what was your what was your question

766
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 9: about the yes or no, you know I was, I

767
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 9: was a player, and I would want to play. But

768
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 9: I like, I don't think this is the record because

769
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 9: Eric did in fewer games. But if I know, if

770
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 9: I was a player, I would I would want to

771
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 9: play for sure. And the College Football Playoff I I

772
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 9: kind of enjoyed at the format. I enjoyed Tommy Turverbill

773
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 9: calling out Disney and at All State yesterday. I don't

774
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 9: think Notre Dame will ever vote for anything against their interest,

775
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 9: and right now, I think they've got a clear Notre

776
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 9: Dame has a clear shot most times, so there's no

777
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 9: there's no reason Notre Dame would vote to reshuffle reshuffle

778
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 9: the rankings. And honestly, this makes the regular season worth something.

779
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 9: I mean, those Ohio State people are so mad that

780
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 9: they might win national championship because they lost the Michigan I.

781
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 2: Think they're just that good. They've just got a mental block.

782
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: But hey, look, good stuff.

783
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 9: Is all you got it. It's amazing, and you need

784
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 9: that conference. You need that Ohio State Michigan hatred. You

785
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 9: need that to spur the regular regular season. You watch

786
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 9: Ohio State may may win the whole thing because they

787
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 9: think their coaches can get fired.

788
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: That's a good yeah. By the way, thanks for Steve, Ryan.

789
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: Dave was never gonna get fired. They would have lost

790
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: all the recruiting class and they'd lost the roster of

791
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: the portals. So but great stuff, Steve. Appreciate the enthusiasm.

792
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: Jim in Massachusetts, Welcome back in, buddy, How are you hey?

793
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 3: What's going on? As fire as Saquon Barkley.

794
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 11: Goes being a Giants fan, he's at the tail end

795
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 11: of his career. I just want him to sit. I

796
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 11: think he's chasing a ring now. He could care a

797
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 11: less about rushing Dabbage. He wants the ring now and

798
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 11: anything to get him to that, you know. I mean,

799
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 11: he's been kind of injury prone. So I'm knocking on

800
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 11: wood and God bless him, and I hope he can

801
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 11: get a Super Bowl ring. But I wouldn't play him,

802
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 11: not to hold.

803
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: Him out fair enough. Any thoughts on the CEE, IFP

804
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: playoff or Chief Street Poll.

805
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 11: Well, the thing is with the playoffs, it's just too

806
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 11: much politics involved with that. Not going to change everything.

807
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 11: Everybody's ever detecting their own term.

808
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 2: Let's take issue.

809
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 11: One thing you said is that you know that are

810
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 11: gone shouldn't have played Ohio State, I think now in the.

811
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 2: Quarter finals they should recede. They were the undefeated, only

812
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: undefeated team in the tournament. They beat three teams in

813
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 2: the tournament. No one else did that. And for their

814
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: reward they play Ohio State in the first round they

815
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: should receive. They shouldn't have had to play Ohio State.

816
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: That should have been a final game. That's that's only beef.

817
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 11: It is what it is. You show up to play

818
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 11: when it's winner, go home. And they didn't do it.

819
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 11: And I'm glad they got crushed because I can't stand

820
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 11: their coach what he did to you know, to Colorado

821
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 11: and that quick kick from their own lat year. I

822
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 11: mean that was that was just against football. That was

823
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 11: just a personal thing between that. I can't stand that program.

824
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 11: I can't stand him. I'm glad they're out. And what

825
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 11: was the last one?

826
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 2: Just whether or not you think all the.

827
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 11: Chief everybody's done with the Chiefs. I mean, anybody that

828
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 11: likes football, they hate it when they see a play

829
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 11: and then they go up, they go up to the

830
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 11: thing and they see Taylor Swift jumping around and everything.

831
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 11: You know, people watch football for football, not for all

832
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 11: that other you know.

833
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 2: Whats to me. You might do a little hate watching,

834
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 2: which which is not unnormal, not having.

835
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 11: I just don't think they're going to get there. I

836
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 11: think they've played a lot of football, you know, in

837
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 11: these pasts, do you know, playing into the playoffs and

838
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 11: stuff like that. I think I think their time is done.

839
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 11: I don't think they're going to make it.

840
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: Really, thank you, appreciate you, man. We got a lot

841
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 2: of folks to get to. Please be patient. We're getting

842
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 2: all your gerard in La joins us next. Good evening.

843
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging on.

844
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, thank you for taking my call. I appreciate it. First,

845
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 12: I'm a diehard Rams fan, so I was a kid

846
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 12: back in the day when Eric Dickerson was running all

847
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 12: around the field. Thing is, I would love to see

848
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 12: Barkley break the record and get a ring because then,

849
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 12: I don't know, maybe not as big as an Eric

850
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 12: Dickerson fan as I'd like to be, because he was selfish.

851
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 12: He wanted all the money in the world, and we're like,

852
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 12: come on, dude, this is a team game. Yeah, you

853
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 12: can go ahead and go to Indianapolis.

854
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 2: We'll take that.

855
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 12: Other guy, what was his name, dang who's got more

856
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 12: single season yard, who's got an m VT and who

857
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 12: has a title. So yeah, I like Marshall Fark better

858
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 12: than I like ericco break the record.

859
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah you got a good memory, Gerard. Do you remember

860
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: the headline in the La Times Eric the ingreat he

861
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: left town in a very so you remember that said

862
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: he wanted out of town and left town. I mean

863
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 2: he burned all this down?

864
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 11: All right?

865
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 2: What else you got, Bud?

866
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 12: Like the last callers said that the politics are just outragedus.

867
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 12: As far as the h FBS is concerned, they should

868
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 12: have long time ago had to lease the fourteen playoff.

869
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 12: They just forever getting there, and then they should have

870
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 12: had an eight team playoffs. They went straight to the twelve.

871
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 7: And then then all.

872
00:46:55,320 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 12: The conferences broke up. Yeah yeah uh. And as far

873
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 12: as the Chiefs go, you know what I'm seeing, there's

874
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 12: there's my quandary.

875
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 7: If the Eagles get in and the Chiefs get in.

876
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a hard time because I want

877
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: to I think that's a likely matchup the way I

878
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 2: see things. Yeah, I think that's a likely man. But

879
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 2: we'll see.

880
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 12: We got a lot of Yea, my mom is in

881
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 12: the homes fan, so in my house comes Super Bowl time.

882
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 11: It's going to be.

883
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: Wid Thanks for checking in, Joel, I appreciate you, buddy.

884
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 2: Back to Kansas City. Jake joins us from Kansas City.

885
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: Good evening, dude, even burning man. I'm fired up.

886
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 10: Great content from everybody. Appreciate you. Yeah, so we'll start

887
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 10: with the Chief me from Kansas City. I think everyone

888
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 10: I can see why they're tired of it. It's great

889
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 10: to hear everybody talk about us, kind of like how

890
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 10: everyone did the Patriots back in the day. It just

891
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 10: tells you everything you need to know about our dynasty.

892
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that it.

893
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 2: Is good for the.

894
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 10: NFL for us because the NFL is about viewership. If

895
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 10: you have Taylor Swift in the viewership, then you have

896
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 10: more viewership. And I also think that if Mahomes get

897
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 10: to this threepeat and solidifies that part of his legacy,

898
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 10: then the dink and dunk style, the safe play that

899
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 10: everyone sees that he's playing, which is why he is

900
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 10: taking so many people off, that's going to stop because

901
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 10: then it's going to be more about stats. And that's

902
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 10: just my opinion. But seeing what they're building, that's what

903
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 10: I think that leads me to the old Saquon Barkley

904
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 10: take man personally, I think that it would be cool

905
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 10: to see him go for the record and get his

906
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 10: ring because that solidifies him as a Hall of Fame player,

907
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 10: and then the touch base on the twelve team format. Look, man,

908
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 10: I'm a Huskies fan, Go Dogs, So in my opinion,

909
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 10: Organ was going to lose no matter when they played them, dude,

910
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 10: no matter who was watching.

911
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 2: So right, good stuff, Jake, appreciate you man, thanks for

912
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 2: checking in. By the way, I glossed over this, If

913
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 2: Philadelphia plays Kansas City, that might be a phenomenal matchup

914
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,959
Speaker 2: in more ways than one. Remember, Philadelphia fired Andy Reid.

915
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: Andy Reid got them to the Super Bowl back in five.

916
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: They put up a fight against New England and lost,

917
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 2: but I remember leaving town. If I'm not mistaken, more

918
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: than one Philadelphia writer said, you can't win with Andy Reid.

919
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 2: You imagine if they go for the three peat against Philadelphia,

920
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 2: Jerome and Charleston. Now, Jerome, if we can just get

921
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: you to overcome this shinness, you're gonna be just fining.

922
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:43,680

Speaker 7: it's all about we man. And as far as Marcus Freeland,

938
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 7: I did some research on him. I found on his

00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 7: coming and all of that.

942
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,959
Speaker 13: I've been to honest, I've been.

943
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 7: To Clumbers a lot time ago when when Lie Caughton

944
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 7: want to cook there. I used to go out with

945
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 7: a girl where I fell in love with her, but

946
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 7: she kind of dubt me for somebody else. But I

947
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 7: still think about her because uh, for she lost her brother,

948
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 7: you know, and uh, I still remember her brother. I

949
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 7: remember what her brother said to me one time. He said,

950
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 7: we were playing some music and there's a group LTD playing.

951
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 7: He said, do I know what that means? I said,

952
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 7: A stand for love, to giveness and devotion. I've always

953
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 7: remimbered him. He played football at Texas Arlington and he

954
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 7: passed away. And I was sorry to hear that. You know,

955
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 7: I just want her to know that because I think

956
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 7: about her all the time. You know, she was like dude,

957
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 7: I fell in love with her, but she got me

958
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 7: for another guy. But I still think about her all

959
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 7: the time. I never forgot her. She was the first

960
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 7: girl I ever fell in love with. That was a

961
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 7: long time ago. And as far as college football, we've seed,

962
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 7: we've seen, we see, we see no damn Penn State. Hey,

963
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 7: they're going to back that way into the nationals championship.

964
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 7: And if Ryan Day doesn't bring home the troubles, he

965
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 7: may have to move to another content change his name.

966
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 7: But that's just my football perser.

967
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 2: Hey, Jerome, I got to say one thing for I

968
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: let you run. What's that LTD had a huge hit.

969
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 2: Every time I turn around, you can say it for

970
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: us next time. You got to bring the horn section though,

971
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: because they have one hell of a horn section. Jefferly

972
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: are knowing, Jeyborn? That's right, great stuff. You don't appreciate you.

973
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 2: Just squeeze it one more here, Hugh, are you still

00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: on the five freeway?

975
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 13: I'm still on the freeway.

976
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 2: That's unusual to be stuck on the freeway. And I kid,

977
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 2: I kid you because we care. Go ahead, buddy.

978
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 13: You guys caught me that handle, so I'm going to

979
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 13: stick with it the first time.

980
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's great. Go ahead, man.

981
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 13: Gosh, we can stay on the phone for hours talking

982
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 13: about these things, especially about what the other guys brought.

983
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 3: Up and music and all that stuff.

984
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 11: All right, what were the questions again?

985
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: Three quick? Three quick things? Here? Should say? Quan play

986
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 2: yes or no? Personally?

987
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 11: I love Eric Dickerson, No, Okay.

988
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 13: What it comes down to is it's the culture.

989
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 3: It's the guy.

990
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 13: It's the attitude he has, It's the organization. It's what

991
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 13: the position at the rain and what are they going

992
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 13: to try to achieve this year?

993
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 2: That's a big thing, right yeah, all right? Do you

994
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 2: do you like that the Chiefs are heading for a

995
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 2: three peat? Is that good?

996
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 13: WELLFL, let me say this, if Eric Dickerson was playing

997
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 13: for the Eagles right now, he would be playing because

998
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 13: he would have that attitude. No, I am f been

999
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 13: playing right and say Quandary doesn't have that. You know,

1000
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 13: He's like, hey, you know for the team, but I

1001
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 13: think he wants to play, but he just doesn't have

1002
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 13: that that attitude. Okay, so the chief does the next one.

1003
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: Is it good for the NFL? If they repeat or not, it's.

1004
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 13: Great for the NFL.

1005
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 3: It drives viewership.

1006
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 13: You know you I agree, hate watching right.

1007
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: Are good for sports. They create to create polarization and

1008
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: the opposite of leve is not hated. The last thing

1009
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 2: for you, quickly the college football playoffs. Would you like

1010
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: to see changes?

1011
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 3: Of course I would.

1012
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 13: Everybody does.

1013
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 11: We talk about it every year.

1014
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 13: It's nauseating that we're even having questions like this because

1015
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 13: ultimately it's gonna happen and maybe we're all going to

1016
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 13: be dead by the time everybody comes to their senses

1017
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 13: in college football is why don't you put everybody in

1018
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 13: the region haven't played ten games, haven't played off, and

1019
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 13: that's that.

1020
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 3: And there's no because.

1021
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,959
Speaker 2: There's no governing body that can get anybody to agree

1022
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 2: and everything that's.

1023
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 13: Well, that's okay, So then that will probably have to happen,

1024
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 13: and that can't.

1025
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: There needs to be some NCAA college footballs are and

1026
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 2: they're trying to tell Nick's able to take the job

1027
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 2: and he doesn't want it.

1028
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 13: Well, it can't happen because there's so much money being made.

1029
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 3: They can make anything they want.

1030
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 13: There's so there's a hundred thousands of people across the

1031
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 13: country every Saturday, a bunch of viewers, more money than

1032
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 13: probably any probably more than NASCAR or Formula one in

1033
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 13: NFL even that they can.

1034
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 2: They're printing money and we're all going to keep watching.

00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 14: I have no issue with the college football playoffs. Actually,

1058
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 14: I enjoy the parody. I enjoy the opportunity for some

1059
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 14: of these other teams to get some shine and some

1060
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 14: of these upsets that we're seeing, i e. Notre Dame

1061
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 14: going head to head with the SEC Power coming out victorious.

1062
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 14: Also Arizona State Sun Devils. Right, that was targeting burning.

1063
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 2: You know, yes.

1064
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 14: Okay, and should they you know, if it's in butts,

1065
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 14: we're candy and nuts, who knows what's going to happen.

1066
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 14: But you know, college football, you're a little bit more

1067
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 14: judicious with those type of plays. You know, you always

1068
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 14: lean on the side of well, let's call targeting and

1069
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 14: then see what happens afterwards, and then.

1070
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 2: That play come on.

1071
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 14: Helmet to helmet doesn't lower, it doesn't hit them with

1072
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 14: the shoulder. So it's been good.

1073
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 9: You know, Arizona sub.

1074
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 14: State represented themselves well. Texas moves on, you know. But

1075
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 14: I think what we're seeing overall in the college football

1076
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 14: before we move over to the Chiefs and Saquon, it's

1077
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 14: that you have to allow for upsets, and I don't

1078
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 14: know if college football is ready for that. We have

1079
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 14: that in basketball March madness, right, we see these.

1080
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 2: Up give it time, Give it time. It took about

1081
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 2: fifty years for a sixteen to be to one. They'll happen, right.

1082
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 14: Right, But I think college football, you know, you're a

1083
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 14: little bit nervous that if you don't get all the

1084
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 14: power teams into you know what I mean.

1085
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: But you know, let the.

1086
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 14: Upsets happen, allow for the parody, and we're going to

1087
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 14: have a new champion in terms of the takuon miscarriage

1088
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 14: of justice. Okay, As someone born in New Jersey with

1089
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 14: family in the city of brotherly love, what are we

1090
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 14: doing here? Not going for the record, you know what

1091
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 14: I mean? Because you get struck by lightning tomorrow. Okay,

1092
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 14: So I'm disappointed. Franklin and the Iggles, blue collar, hard

1093
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 14: working you know what I mean. They love their sports.

1094
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 14: You know your boot Santa Claus. You had to build

1095
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 14: a courthouse in the football stadium because of how crazy

1096
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 14: you are about sports. And then you're not going to

1097
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 14: go for a record against your rival the Giant. Makes

1098
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 14: absolutely no sense. And I'm just I'm taking I'm sick

1099
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 14: of the analytics just taking over everything. You know, you know,

1100
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 14: I can't leave the house tomorrow because who knows what happened.

1101
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 14: There could be a flood, Like just stop it.

1102
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 15: All right, play the game.

1103
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 14: If it's not working, go ahead and last but not least,

1104
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 14: Chiefs with the third Super Bowl. Now you got other callers.

1105
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 6: I don't want to see it.

1106
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 14: I want the wealth being spread. Patrick mahomes numbers are down.

1107
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 14: Bottom line is people fear him in the fourth quarter,

1108
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 14: so I don't have any when it comes down to

1109
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 14: the playoffs and when the money, when the chips are down,

1110
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 14: Patrick Mahoney still feared. The Chiefs are the favorites, even

1111
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 14: though I want to see the well spread.

1112
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: Thanks taking the call, Burny trying to thank you, Andrew.

1113
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 2: They're trying to make I mean, this is a league

1114
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: where if you do well, you draft later. Do we

1115
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 2: have a salary cap, but it still comes down to scouting,

1116
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 2: talent development, coaching, all those things. They're trying to spread

1117
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 2: the wealth. But these same organizations keep showing up and

1118
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 2: the same dumb ones keep finding themselves kicked to the curb.

1119
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 2: Chris and Boston is up next, welcoming Chris.

1120
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 16: Hey, what's up, Bernie? First time, long time. I'm a

1121
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 16: big time sports radio caller. I do like twelve calls.

1122
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 2: Well, welcome in. What do you got for us?

1123
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 16: Yeah, my cousin he plays football for Notre Dame, so

1124
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 16: I'm really big into Notre Dame. I was never much

1125
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,919
Speaker 16: of a college football fan before, but he's a long

1126
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 16: snapper for Notre Dame. You say, able a lot of

1127
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 16: walk on there, And now he's playing, and I think

1128
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 16: he has a good, good shot of playing in the NFL,

1129
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 16: you know, And I just I think it's great because

1130
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 16: I'm a huge Catholic and the Patriots just stink right now.

1131
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 16: I'm not even rooting for the Patriots at all. I

1132
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 16: can't stand Bob Krafts. I live in the city of Boston.

1133
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 16: I'm a community leader. I'm a Perkin School for the

1134
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 16: Blind graduate. I don't like Bob's son Jonathan Kraft. So

1135
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 16: I'm rooting for Patrick Mahomes to beat the record because

1136
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 16: I think the Patriots are being run into the ground.

1137
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying. I used to see like

1138
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 16: I went blind in the nineties when I was a

1139
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 16: young kid, but my father used to take me to

1140
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 16: Santlay Park. We saw Patrick Mahone's father.

1141
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: He was like the Tigers back in ninety year seven. Hey,

1142
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 2: real quick, because I want to get to everybody. I

1143
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,959
Speaker 2: appreciate your energy. Anything on the color of football playoff.

1144
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, Like I don't really understand it because I'm not

1145
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 16: a huge college football fan.

1146
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, all right.

1147
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 2: You should take one play yes or no?

1148
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 16: Well no, no, I mean I don't understand Like Notre

1149
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 16: Dame one are they in the championship? They played like

1150
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 16: some other team. There's twelve teams now, if you know,

1151
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 16: if you're just an outside follower of sports, like we

1152
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 16: don't even in the no Northeast. It's really hard to

1153
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 16: get into college football here. Like some of the biggest

1154
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 16: sports radio market here with the highest paced sports radio salaries,

1155
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 16: but they don't talk college FOOTBA at all. Like Boston

1156
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 16: College was the number two ranked team in two thousand

1157
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 16: and seven. Nobody even knew that in the city of Boston,

1158
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 16: you know what I mean.

1159
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 11: So I love you bring.

1160
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 2: I always love that being. Hey listen, I'd love to

1161
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 2: give you more time, but I got to get to

1162
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 2: these peeps, Chris. We do this every Friday night. But

1163
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 2: thanks for checking in. Gary in California, welcome.

1164
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 17: Hey, Bernie. Yeah, great show, great topics. Number One, Saqua

1165
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 17: should play, especially against the Giants. That seems like a

1166
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 17: no brainer. Belichick had the right answer tonight. He said,

1167
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 17: unless he's heard, he should play. So going forward with

1168
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 17: the college playoffs, they got an integrity issue, and you

1169
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 17: brought it up earlier with the targeting. That was just

1170
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 17: criminal and that to me speaks to a lot of

1171
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 17: block bigger issue than just received. So let's get rid

1172
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 17: of the targeting or do something about that.

1173
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 2: It was very bothersome. So two for two. How about

1174
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.

1175
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 17: And I'm a forty nine Ers fan, so you know

1176
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 17: how I feel about that. I'm rooting for the Vikings

1177
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 17: and Sam Darnold because he played for the Niners last year,

1178
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 17: so I want to see him succeed. I'm tired of

1179
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,479
Speaker 17: my homes Although he is the best number fifteen is good.

1180
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 17: You got to give him his props, but let's have

1181
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 17: some new blood in there.

1182
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 3: Bernie.

1183
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 2: All right, Hey, thanks for checking in, and I appreciate you. Gary.

1184
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 2: Tony down in Miami.

1185
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Hey, Bud, are you happy near you? Bernie. I'll try

1186
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 3: to glip through this as quick as possible. I want

1187
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 3: to get your opinion, so I'll start with the college.

1188
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 3: I don't watch college. I kind of gave up when

1189
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 3: they start getting paid. It's sort of a poor man NFL.

1190
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 3: But I do really quickly. I think there is an

1191
01:01:54,280 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 3: indignation happening in the NFL. As the first time team

1192
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 3: fourteen win team, it's gonna have to go on the

1193
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 3: road and most likely not get back to the NFC championships.

1194
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 3: And is it possible that the NFL may go back?

1195
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 3: This would fix it if they went back to the

1196
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 3: three divisions or even possibly two.

1197
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 2: Very unlikely. This was even discussed back in twenty ten

1198
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: during Beast Mode when seven and nine Saturday nine Seattle

1199
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 2: had to host the New Orleans Saints. If you recall, but.

1200
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 3: No, I remember a very good point following the Saints

1201
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 3: winning the Super Bowl. Yes it was. It was a

1202
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 3: rainy slotsy Seattle day and see in New Orleans that

1203
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 3: believe formed thirteen games and they in Seattle went seven.

1204
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 3: It was it was insane. I think they just need

1205
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 3: to go with the wins in general, whether it's the

1206
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 3: most wins. If you win your division, you your reward.

1207
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 2: They've talked about that. They've talked about receding in the

1208
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 2: NFL too, So anything else on the other subjects, I

1209
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 2: just want to get.

1210
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 3: Quick, say, Kwon Buckley indifferent as runs or's context to

1211
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 3: all these records as we see here in the NBA

1212
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 3: and the NFL with the passing, none of them translate.

1213
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 3: They really don't winning for anything that does. And I

1214
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 3: would say I was in the building. I believe it

1215
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 3: was December ninety eight when Barry Sanders against the Jets

1216
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 3: broke the record in Pontiac. Yeah, now that was a

1217
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 3: was a.

1218
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Tony. I we just got so many

1219
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 2: to night, man. I appreciate you checking in. I want

1220
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 2: to get to everybody. Man well in Guardiana. What's up?

1221
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 17: Bud?

1222
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 15: Just want us celebray because the midnight hour is upon us. Bernie,

1223
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 15: how you doing.

1224
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Good man? We got three topics. I'm sure you got

1225
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 2: a strong opinion. At least two of them.

1226
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 15: I do, Hey, but real quick, want you to mix

1227
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 15: in a little Marvin Gaine, a little Sam Cook when

1228
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 15: you can. I'm the bumpers, but yeah, as far as

1229
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 15: it's absolutely the right call, all they need is for

1230
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 15: New York to have the game of their life the

1231
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 15: defense or or do the old Greg you know, the

1232
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 15: guy from Affect the Head, you know, the old change coach.

1233
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 15: That would be the worst thing they need for somebody

1234
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 15: to put Saquan out, And I'm pretty sure there would

1235
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 15: be a bounty on his head if you play tomorrow.

1236
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 15: So I think it's the smart move. Go for the rings.

1237
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 7: College football.

1238
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 15: You know, I couldn't care less about it, but I'm

1239
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 15: pulling for Ohio State. And then lastly, Casey, even as

1240
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 15: a Raider fan, Bro, you have to respect what they're

1241
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 15: going for. I'm pulling for them to go three p

1242
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 15: You know what the fat Man ried and Mahomes. These

1243
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 15: guys are generational talents, man, and it's good to see

1244
01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 15: excellence perform and keep going. So you got to give

1245
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 15: you give him a credit from the top down from

1246
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 15: the Hunts to uh the GM beater I think or whatever,

1247
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 15: and uh Andy reid Man and I'm pretty sure I

1248
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 15: don't see anybody beating him.

1249
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 3: Let's just put it like that.

1250
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm an agreement. Man. Well, no one's going through Arrowhead

1251
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,919
Speaker 2: in the AFC. It ain't gonna be Lamar. I don't

1252
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 2: think Josh Rold'll do. It's not gonna be Harball and

1253
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 2: something in a one game affair in the Super Bowl.

1254
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 2: So all right, anything else.

1255
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 12: Bud, No, No, I was just thinking, appreciate you.

1256
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate man. Well calling on.

1257
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 7: I think he was last.

1258
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 2: I was going to Hilberto next when something intervened. Alberto,

1259
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 2: are you with us? Month? See we model?

1260
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 7: But we are blessed.

1261
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 3: With Bernie.

1262
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 11: Go ahead, man, you got the floor.

1263
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1264
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 18: Listen on the Saquon Bark thing. Uh, he was. He

1265
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 18: always been prone to injury. So I think it's the

1266
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 18: right decision.

1267
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 12: That he's not playing.

1268
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 18: I mean the original record.

1269
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 2: That's a really good point. No one's really touched on.

1270
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 2: Maybe someone did, but yeah, continue on.

1271
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 3: I want to make sure you go.

1272
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1273
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 18: And I saw Eric Dickerson season. He did it in

1274
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 18: sixteen games. O. J. Simpson did it in fourteen games.

1275
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 18: Next year when they go to eighteen games, somebody is

1276
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 18: gonna play whatever record is there, because I mean, the

1277
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 18: NFL is gonna go to eighteen games and maybe they

1278
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 18: want to go to twenty, we don't know. But those records,

1279
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 18: I think all of them are going to fall, and.

1280
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: For season records.

1281
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 3: Okay, So I agree with.

1282
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 18: Him not playing the only record that man, the only

1283
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 18: thing that matters in the NFL is to get the ring,

1284
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 18: and that's what they're going for.

1285
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, from reacts one point.

1286
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 5: And you know, even though.

1287
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 2: The NFL went from fourteen to sixteen, sixteen to seventeen,

1288
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: still no one's broken in forty one years.

1289
01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 7: Anything on the Chiefs or the.

1290
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 18: Playoff ELBERTA Well, listen, as a Patriot fan, I love dynasties.

1291
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 18: So I'm not rooting for the Chiefs. But if they

1292
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 18: get it, good for them, because they earn it. Everybody's

1293
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 18: in the same playing field. There's just been smarter and

1294
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 18: they have the best player in football right now. And

1295
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 18: on the college stuff, Learnie, I will go for receding.

1296
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 3: I will go for that.

1297
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 2: So you can have Berto, you know, good good stuff

1298
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 2: on all three. I'll tell you what. Let's go to

1299
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 2: bryceon Texas. Bryce, go ahead, buddy, let's get you in here.

1300
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 6: How's it going to night?

1301
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 2: Good?

1302
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 6: I'm doing well. I'll make this super quick for you.

1303
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 6: Of course, the chiefs are concerned. I think this is

1304
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 6: great for the NFL.

1305
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 11: I think it's you.

1306
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 6: That always says that the obsosit the love isn't hate,

1307
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 6: it's indifferent.

1308
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

1309
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 6: Yes, in fact that so many people are hating on

1310
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 6: this right now, the NFL is never going to want

1311
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 6: to get completely rid of the dynasties. And of course

1312
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 6: five alive. There's always been a dynasty of some sort

1313
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 6: and they're all.

1314
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Good point, good point, And you know, the thing of

1315
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 2: it is too A lot of times, bryce when someone

1316
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 2: is a repeat contender, every year champion, a lot of

1317
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 2: times folks in their own cities are just a little

1318
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 2: pissed off that they just can't team to get a

1319
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 2: piece of the pie. There's a lot of frustration.

1320
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:21,719
Speaker 11: Well, for sure.

1321
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 6: The second thing is where the college football is. I

1322
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 6: don't think it's the reseting that's the issue. I think

1323
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 6: the fact that college football has the portal open where

1324
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 6: players can train for fifteen times. It's getting harder to

1325
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 6: watch because you don't know the players on the teams

1326
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 6: as much anymore. And so if we knew the players

1327
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 6: that are on the teams. Like I'm a Browns fan

1328
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 6: and I will watch them all the time get blown out.

1329
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 6: But at least I know the players that are getting

1330
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 6: blown out, and it makes it more manageable to watch.

1331
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 6: If I'm watching this college football game and I'm not

1332
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 6: sure which players to blame anymore because I've lost track

1333
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,919
Speaker 6: of them, I'm losing interest in college football.

1334
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 2: That's the old fail to be rooted for jerseys now.

1335
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 6: Yeah right, which makes it a bit harder to get

1336
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 6: into for the average sports bands. And the last thing

1337
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 6: with Barkley, it comes down to what's more important. What's

1338
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 6: going to build a bigger legacy. Is it going to

1339
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 6: be the record or the championship? And I think we're

1340
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 6: at a time now where a championship means more than

1341
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 6: a record. I look at Lebron James, people will still

1342
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 6: argue that he's not the goat even though he has

1343
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 6: the scoring record because he hasn't beaten Michael Jordan's six

1344
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:26,639
Speaker 6: ring jets.

1345
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 2: And that's the beauty of sports arguments, and no one's

1346
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 2: ever going to win. It's I can argue your favorite

1347
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 2: noodle in places we get any good stuff tonight, Bryce, Okay,

1348
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 2: don in New Orleans. Everything goky down there, man.

1349
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 19: No, Bernie, this is Dave and Phanix.

1350
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 2: All right, well it'd be night. You know, I went

1351
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 2: to high school the full six years. Apparently I can't

1352
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 2: read Dave Good here, what do we got?

1353
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 1: All?

1354
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 3: Right?

1355
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 19: College football Playoffs ESPN has a bracket challenge, and right

1356
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 19: now I have a perfect bracket going eight to O,

1357
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 19: and I've got Ohio State beating Penn State in the

1358
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 19: National title Game. So I could get a perfect bracket,

1359
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 19: but I'll probably lose on the tie breaker because the

1360
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 19: tie breaker has total points in all eleven games, and

1361
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 19: my pick was four hundred and ninety five. They've already

1362
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 19: scored four to twenty three, so I need three very

1363
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 19: low scoring games coming up.

1364
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 2: So with a format I'm guessing with the college football format. Fair,

1365
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 2: that's fair. Yeah, I mean that's exactly right, because we

1366
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: know we'll complain right and left, right and I and

1367
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 2: so anyway, and I don't think it's going to need changes.

1368
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you go for red wing town, so

1369
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 2: you can't go ahead, where are you gonna say? Right?

1370
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 19: So, Bernie, you have a good point that Oregon or

1371
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 19: whoever the number one.

1372
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 11: Seed was got a raw deal because the team they.

1373
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 19: Beat in the Big Ten title game, Penn State, got

1374
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 19: a much better draw, and the same thing with Georgia's

1375
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 19: as the number two seed, they beat Texas twice, including

1376
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 19: in the SEC title game, and Texas got an easier

1377
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 19: path than Georgia did. So there's to be a change, and.

1378
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 2: There's probably two or three easy ways to do it.

1379
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 19: But a lot of people say, just seed one through twelve,

1380
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 19: and if you did that this year, you'd actually have

1381
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 19: Tennessee and Indiana getting home games. The other thing some

1382
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 19: people say is a compromise. You got to let those

1383
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 19: conference winners at least get a home game or a buy.

1384
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 2: So well, I have no problem with a home game,

1385
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 2: but not a buy, and I don't think anybody should

1386
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 2: get a buy anymore. Dave, you know why did you?

1387
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 2: I know? You notice this? All four teams that had

1388
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 2: to buy lost, including the number one seed, So yeah,

1389
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 2: that was Luke. It may be, it may be, but

1390
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,759
Speaker 2: I think what you need to have is a situation

1391
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 2: where if you win your conference, you're guaranteed a you know,

1392
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 2: a seed at the table, but it doesn't guarantee you

1393
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 2: a buy or a home game that that would come

1394
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 2: from rankings. Do you believe the Chiefs three p is

1395
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 2: good for the NFL?

1396
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 19: I don't know if it's good or bad. I mean,

1397
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 19: if they if they get it, they deserve it, They've

1398
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 19: earned it. I mean, John Wooden won seventh straight and

1399
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 19: the Celtics won eight straight.

1400
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 11: Titles, So they get it.

1401
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 19: Good for them. If they don't, I'm fine with that too.

1402
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 2: Sai kuon Barkley, should he play or not, that's.

1403
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 19: A tough call, but I lean towards saying they're doing

1404
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 19: the right thing to keep them out because boy, if

1405
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 19: he got hurt, that would just be a disaster. So

1406
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 19: I think that's more important to keep them healthy for

1407
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 19: the playoffs when they have a good chance to make

1408
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 19: the super Bowl or even win it all.

1409
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Dave, I appreciate it. Look for what it's worth.

1410
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 2: I truly believe and Jalen Hurts will come back from

1411
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 2: his concussion. I truly believe that both the Chiefs and

1412
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 2: the Eagles are the most complete teams in football right

1413
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 2: now in all three phases. You might say, well what

1414
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 2: about the Lions. Look, there are some very inconvenient truth

1415
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 2: about the Lions right now. This team is very depleted.

1416
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 2: They have so many critical players on both sides of

1417
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 2: the ball out, namely Aiden Hutchinson and David Montgomery. The

1418
01:12:56,479 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 2: cumulative effect of what's happened to their defense since Thanksgiving,

1419
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 2: the numbers simply don't lie. It does not bode well.

1420
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 2: You saw that San Francisco forty nine ers put up

1421
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 2: four and seventy five yards and thirty four points on

1422
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 2: Monday night. This is a six and ten team. Their

1423
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 2: field goal kicker left seven points on the board rock

1424
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 2: Party through two bad interceptions. Boy, if that the offense

1425
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: was able to move the ball, it will What might

1426
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 2: Minnesota do now? I don't know. I mean this is

1427
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 2: going to be a nail biter game. Whether or not

1428
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 2: the Chiefs three peet is good. I've always believedynasties are good.

1429
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 2: I believe it's very good. It signifies a dominant team,

1430
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 2: high level of competition creates drawing more viewers, generating excitement.

1431
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 2: Because dynasty teams draw attention and bring on conversations, not

1432
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 2: everybody likes them. Maybe they root for them to fail.

1433
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: And some people might argue that a more diverse range

1434
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 2: of contenders across the league is beneficial, but parody can

1435
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,959
Speaker 2: be boring, all right. The Chiefs have elevated the NFL's profile,

1436
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 2: and I gotta believe Roger Goodell loves it. A team

1437
01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 2: who consistently wins at the highest level, they attract more fans,

1438
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 2: they attract more media, they attract more conversations. They boost

1439
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 2: the NFL's popularity. Also creates a compelling storyline. You root

1440
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 2: for the story. My mentor Dick Schapp said, my favorite

1441
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 2: sport is people, and my favorite team I don't have one.

1442
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 2: I root for the story. So if you got a

1443
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 2: team like the Chiefs, there's a little bit of intrigued,

1444
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of excitement all of a sudden,

1445
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 2: you're concerned about their personalized especially when you got star

1446
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 2: players like Mahomes and Kelsey. So it also opens the

1447
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 2: door for a lot of debate and discussion. So I'm

1448
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 2: on board with kind of root and for him to

1449
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 2: do the three p because they've earned it. Like Kyle said,

1450
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 2: beat them if you don't like it, beat them, all right,

1451
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 2: come it up. We like to talk movies, and I

1452
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe they'll make a movie about the Chiefs someday.

1453
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,080

01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 3: Take it away.

1467
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 21: Alrighty. So it's bowl season. So all the crazy bowls

1468
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 21: that are.

1469
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 22: Happening, whether it's the cheese At Bowl, whether it's a

1470
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 22: Pop Tart Bowl. There was a Male Bowl earlier today,

1471
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 22: so kind of got me thinking of food obviously bowls

1472
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 22: and food deserved or deserved bowls. So what movies revolve

1473
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 22: around food? So I with the first one, I went

1474
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 22: with with something I actually just saw recently, probably within

1475
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 22: the last six months.

1476
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 21: It was a movie in twenty fifteen called Burnt with

1477
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,759
Speaker 21: Bradley Cooper, so not the most.

1478
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 22: Critically acclaimed, it got a twenty nine percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

1479
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 22: Bradley Cooper was a chef that had a really dark

1480
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 22: past in Paris or yeah, Paris, and then comes to

1481
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 22: London because he's trying to get his third Michelin Star.

1482
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 22: Kind of one of my favorite Bradley Cooper performances. Obviously,

1483
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 22: like Silver Linings, Playbook and A Star Is Born I

1484
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 22: think are like the top two for me.

1485
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 21: But I think this is kind of like in there.

1486
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 21: I love Bradley Cooper.

1487
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 22: So Cianna Millers in it, Uma Thurmans in it, and

1488
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 22: Emma Thompson are also in it, so it's kind of

1489
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 22: a pretty good cast. Gordon Ramsay was the one of

1490
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 22: the kind of the executive producers is that, you know,

1491
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 22: made sure that everything was all chef appropriate.

1492
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 21: So that was my first movie.

1493
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:44,799
Speaker 22: The second movie I went was One hundred Foot Journey

1494
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 22: in twenty fourteen.

1495
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 21: I don't know if you've heard of that, Bernie, It's

1496
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 21: quite okay.

1497
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 22: So it was about an Indian family that moved to

1498
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 22: France and they actually opened an Indian restaurant and so

1499
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:04,799
Speaker 22: they kind of have like a rivalry with a woman

1500
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 22: that lives across the street, Helen Mirren, and she actually

1501
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 22: owns this French restaurant that is a Michelin Star kind

1502
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 22: of you know, worthy restaurant, and they kind of have

1503
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 22: a feud kind of going on. It was produced by

1504
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 22: Stephen Spielberg. Oprah was one of the producers that probably

1505
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 22: was in her book Club, I'm thinking because it's based

1506
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 22: on a book. So it's very touching, very heartwarming, kind

1507
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 22: of starts off a little like ooh, like there's like a.

1508
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 21: Little rivalry going on, but it ends.

1509
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 22: Up being really really heartwarming and definitely a really good movie.

1510
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 22: I definitely recommend so Burt and Hud Your Foot Journey.

1511
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 22: They're both on Netflix, just like as an FYI. And

1512
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 22: then I went a little off the rails a little

1513
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,759
Speaker 22: random for my third movie.

1514
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 21: I went with a nineteen ninety.

1515
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 22: Two It was called Like Water for Chocolate and so

1516
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 22: as subtitles. It's a Spanish movie and it's about a

1517
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 22: woman that when she cooks her food, just to kind

1518
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,440
Speaker 22: of summarize it, you kind of like feel the emotions

1519
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 22: in her food. Yeah, so she's eating like if she's

1520
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 22: feeling really angry and upset.

1521
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 21: She like makes like a soup.

1522
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 22: Everybody who eats the soup is super angry and gets

1523
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 22: really upset she and so kind of the premise is

1524
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 22: that she falls in love with the guy, but because

1525
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 22: she's the youngest daughter in her family, she has to

1526
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,719
Speaker 22: be kind of the caretaker for her mom, for everybody

1527
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 22: around her. So that's going to be it like she's

1528
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 22: almost going to be like an old maid pretty much,

1529
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 22: like she's never gonna get married. She's going to just

1530
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 22: take care of her family for the rest of her life.

1531
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 22: So the man that she falls in love with decides

1532
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 22: to marry her sister to be like close to her,

1533
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 22: which is a little, like, you know, a little weird,

1534
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,759
Speaker 22: but so anyway, so that's it's a a very odd,

1535
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:47,719
Speaker 22: very very.

1536
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 21: Specific, strange movie. And I don't really know.

1537
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 22: How else to describe it, but it's actually very touching.

1538
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 22: And again, like I said, anything she cooks, you kind

1539
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,600
Speaker 22: of just feel the emotion. So it's funny kind of

1540
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 22: watching her cook certain things and watching the people kind

1541
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,839
Speaker 22: of eat the food and you know, kind of evoke

1542
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 22: those emotions.

1543
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 21: So I'm gonna throw it over to Mark.

1544
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 23: So my breeze three start with No Reservation. It's a

1545
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:18,839
Speaker 23: movie with Catherine Zida Jones, Aaron Eckhart, and Abigail Breslin.

1546
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 23: Catherine Zida Jones' character is a big time chef in

1547
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 23: New York City. She runs a really tight ship in

1548
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 23: her restaurant. You know, it's like her way, not manic,

1549
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 23: but just she's really tough and really good at her job.

1550
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 23: And she happens to she has a sister. Something bad

1551
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 23: happens to the sister, so now she's a mom. She

1552
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 23: has to take in her niece, which is Abigail Brazlein.

1553
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 23: And then while she's wanting to run on a shift

1554
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 23: and having to learn how to be a mom, this

1555
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 23: new shift comes in Aaron Eckhart, and so there's a

1556
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 23: little sort of romance building kind of strange between them,

1557
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 23: and he has a way of being able to relate

1558
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 23: to Abigail because she's having a hard time, and that

1559
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 23: kind of causes a little little bitterness, but they all

1560
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 23: become friendly as a little romance going on. So that

1561
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 23: was called No Reservation. That was in two thousand and seven. Now,

1562
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 23: my next movie I was thinking about was Chocolate. It's

1563
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 23: in two thousand and Juliette, Julie Bonoche and Johnny Depp

1564
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 23: was in this movie. And that one is a movie

1565
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 23: where this woman, Julia Bonosi's character, she goes to a

1566
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,799
Speaker 23: small town and she has a daughter and she opens

1567
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 23: up a chocolate shop. Now, the way she makes the chocolate,

1568
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 23: she has various you know, things that she offers and

1569
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 23: it begins to make the town feel different because it's

1570
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 23: kind of a low calm French town. But her chocolate

1571
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 23: does something to everybody. It starts to build romance, it

1572
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 23: makes people feel better. So that's kind of the overall

1573
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 23: idea of the movie. Her chocolate changes the feeling and

1574
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:55,719
Speaker 23: the emotions of the town.

1575
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 5: Now.

1576
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 23: The third one I thought about was a soul Food

1577
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 23: from nineteen ninety. That movie has Vivica Fox, Vanessa Williams,

1578
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 23: Nina Long, Mackai Pheiffer, and Gina Rivera. It's the story

1579
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 23: of a family who's he the mom falls into well,

1580
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 23: the family falls into chaos when the mother falls into

1581
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 23: a coma and it's kind of sick. So the whole

1582
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 23: family is kind of trying to figure out what's going

1583
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 23: to happen if the matriarch passes away. Who's going to

1584
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 23: be the leader of the family, how a thing is gonna,

1585
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 23: you know, hold together, and the aunts and the other

1586
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 23: family members begin to bicker and fight about things, and

1587
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 23: then there's a bunch of memories that go on. So

1588
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:43,560
Speaker 23: it's just watching how they get through the slight tragedy

1589
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,720
Speaker 23: that the mom is dying, she may die, and how

1590
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 23: things is going to be held together, and they can

1591
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 23: all get through the things together, and there's a big

1592
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 23: meal and the it's all talking and laughing, and then

1593
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 23: the family figures out a way how to get along

1594
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,440
Speaker 23: with each other, so that one's called sofu so no reservations,

1595
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 23: chockle that and soul food.

1596
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 21: Br anybody you have, all right?

1597
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 2: So I'm going to start with a movie called The Founder,

1598
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 2: which is a fabulous movie starring Michael Keaton, and it's

1599
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 2: the story of Ray croc and McDonald's and how he

1600
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 2: was a milkshake salesman in Chicago and discovered that these

1601
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 2: two McDonald brothers kept ordering milkshakes machines at a faster

1602
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 2: eight than anybody he dealt with in the country. So

1603
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 2: he drove out to California to see what's going on,

1604
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 2: and the rest is history. He convinces the McDonald's brothers

1605
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 2: to franchise, teaches him how to go into real estate,

1606
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 2: teaches them how to handle everything, and he makes them

1607
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:43,560
Speaker 2: a fortune. And the movie had some controversy because it

1608
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 2: implied that Ray croc Short chained the McDonald brothers. But

1609
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 2: the McDonald brothers are making fifty million dollars. Very very

1610
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: good movie about the history of McDonald's how started writing

1611
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 2: San Bordino and grew into the billion dollar industry. It

1612
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 2: is the second one is an under the a radar

1613
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 2: movie called Big Night, which came out in nineteen ninety five,

1614
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 2: and Mitch Album of the Detroit Press raved about it

1615
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 2: maybe the best movie he thought he ever saw. A

1616
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 2: very interesting movie about two Italian brothers who moved to

1617
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 2: the States. Their dream was to open up an authentic

1618
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 2: Italian restaurant and it's not doing well. And because the

1619
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 2: two brothers fight about what they should do, and one

1620
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 2: of the brothers believes they need to be true to

1621
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 2: the old world recipes, where the other one says, we

1622
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,640
Speaker 2: need to understand more of what the commercial nature of

1623
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 2: what American people want, and so the business is failing.

1624
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 2: They managed to put together this one big meal, which

1625
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 2: was called The Big Night, and they invited all the media,

1626
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 2: and they invited all the local luminaries and anybody who

1627
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 2: was famous to try to put this restaurant on the

1628
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 2: map and at backfires. And it's a very interesting movie

1629
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 2: about philosophies, and so it's an underratar movie, but it's

1630
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 2: pure food and some of the visuals of just looking

1631
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 2: at the food in the movie Big Night, the cinematography

1632
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 2: is that's something. The third one another classic. It was

1633
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 2: a documentary but it came up I think twenty years ago,

1634
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 2: starring Morgan Spurlock. It was called supersized Meat. Oh yeah, yeah,

1635
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 2: he didn't. Yeah, he did an experiment where he could

1636
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 2: only get him McDonald's breakfast, lunch, and dinner three days

1637
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 2: a week. Now we all know that McDonald's has the

1638
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 2: healthy choices, but Morgan Spurlock it chills to eat the

1639
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,440
Speaker 2: most you know, the most fattening stuff in the supersize

1640
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 2: And he was trying to paint a picture. And at

1641
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 2: the end of the thirty days, he gained weight, and

1642
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 2: he looked sick and felt sick, and he was trying

1643
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 2: to paint a picture of Americans and our diets. And

1644
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 2: you know how much we consume and we consume too

1645
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 2: many quantities, and is it really American's fault, you know,

1646
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 2: because everything is supercized. They always ask you if you

1647
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 2: want him supersize, which you don't need more, which is

1648
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 2: a little silly. No one forces you to put it

1649
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 2: to him out But the point of the matter is

1650
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 2: it was a very thought provoking movie. Sadly, Morgan Spurlock

1651
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,759
Speaker 2: could end up passing away not too long ago until anyway,

1652
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 2: those are my three. The founder, the history, McDonald's for

1653
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 2: a Croc Big Night, and Supersize Me.

1654
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 22: Supersize Me did traumatize me for a good like six months.

1655
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,759
Speaker 22: Like I did not go to I don't even supersize anything, honestly,

1656
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 22: but like I was just kind of like I avoided

1657
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 22: McDonald's for a good like six months after watching that.

1658
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 2: So Mark, you'd you must have seen Supersized Me as well.

1659
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,839
Speaker 23: I only know about supersize, but I mean I remember

1660
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 23: all the talk and you know him, the guy you know,

1661
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 23: eating all the food, and just all the publicity that

1662
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 23: came after that, just about what he did, just to

1663
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 23: show you know, basically certain Americans gluttony and what it

1664
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 23: can do to your body. So he was the physical

1665
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 23: example of what can happen to you.

1666
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 2: I forgot.

1667
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 23: I didn't know that. I mean, I knew that he died,

1668
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 23: He just didn't know what he died of. But I

1669
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 23: know that he had passed away, and that that experiment

1670
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 23: that was basically filmed, you could see that, you know,

1671
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 23: it changed him based on what he was eating. And

1672
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 23: I remember the Big Night. I didn't see that, and

1673
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 23: I didn't see the the Ray Kroc One. But I mean,

1674
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 23: I don't know about about You. I didn't see it,

1675
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 23: but I knew about Founder, and I knew about the

1676
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 23: Big Night. So those are all big, big movies, all right.

1677
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 2: Covered a lot of really good ground there, And of

1678
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 2: course food finds this way in the movies, and food

1679
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 2: is always a part of the movies. It's amazing how many,

1680
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 2: how many movie scenes you know, involve around the dinner

1681
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 2: table or family gatherings. It's almost actually impossible to see

1682
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 2: a movie without some sort of food aspect aspect to it.

1683
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:35,640

Speaker 2: Right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

1725
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:58,799
Speaker 2: All right, we are twelve hours away from the final weekend,

1726
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 2: final regular season week in the National Football League, and

1727
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 2: a lot of times folks have the misconception that when

1728
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 2: you get to the final weekend, it doesn't mean much,

1729
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,719
Speaker 2: and that certainly is the case in some of the games,

1730
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 2: But in a lot of the games, there are tremendous storylines,

1731
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,560
Speaker 2: there are tremendous angles, and so the long and the

1732
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 2: short of it is, there are really a lot of

1733
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 2: things at stake on Saturday and certainly Sunday into Sunday night.

1734
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 2: Even with twelve of the NFL's fourteen playoff spots already

1735
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 2: locked up, there's plenty at stake, and the league even

1736
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 2: adjusted its broadcast schedule accordingly. They made a series of

1737
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 2: flex schedules late last Sunday to finalize the week eighteen layout,

1738
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:51,959
Speaker 2: putting two of the most contestant divisional races in feature positions.

1739
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,599
Speaker 2: You've got January fourth, a doubleheader, which is later today,

1740
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 2: will showcase the race for the AFC North title between

1741
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,640
Speaker 2: the Browns and Ravens, and that game will followed by

1742
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:04,760
Speaker 2: the Bengals and Steelers. And there are implications because Baltimore

1743
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 2: is eleven and five, they currently hold a one game

1744
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:12,480
Speaker 2: edge over Pittsburgh, but the Steelers would have the tiebreaker

1745
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,679
Speaker 2: and claim the division if both teams finished at eleven

1746
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 2: and six. Now the winner of the division is going

1747
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 2: to get the number three seed in the AFC playoffs,

1748
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 2: obviously behind number one Kansas City, and there'll be you know,

1749
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 2: a top ratings draw and number two the number two

1750
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 2: seed is Buffalo. Now, the regular season also is going

1751
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:36,760
Speaker 2: to conclude Sunday Night with an absolute blockbuster final contest

1752
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 2: which is known as you know, the old colloquial game

1753
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 2: two seventy two of the National Football League. Now, that

1754
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 2: would be a winner take all clash on NBC's Sunday

1755
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 2: Night Football between the Vikings and Lions for the NFC North.

1756
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 2: More importantly, though, the top overall seed in the NFC,

1757
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: including a first round by and home field advantage, is

1758
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 2: also its Can you imagine going fourteen to three and

1759
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 2: having to go on the road and play and win

1760
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 2: three straight road playoff games to fight your way back

1761
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 2: into the Super Bowl. That is exactly what is going

1762
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 2: to happen to the loser of the Vikings Lions game

1763
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,839
Speaker 2: Sunday Night, which you kick off at eight twenty eastern

1764
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 2: five to twenty Pacific. Now, I want to sidestep for

1765
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 2: just a second before I get the other issues that

1766
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 2: are going to be settled this weekend. How truly important

1767
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:35,680
Speaker 2: is being the number one seed if you want to

1768
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:38,040
Speaker 2: make it to the Super Bowl. Well, as my good

1769
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,560
Speaker 2: friend Mark Lawrence would say, the number one seed in

1770
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:44,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs, it's basically the NFL's equivalent of unlocking Star

1771
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 2: World in Super Mario World and the old Super Nintendo.

1772
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 2: So when you get the playoff seed, the top playoff

1773
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,799
Speaker 2: seed in a conference, because you've earned it by virtue

1774
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 2: of the best record of a strong regular season, will

1775
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 2: you get to skip around? You get to skip a

1776
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 2: game and rest, and that matters. Now. The Chiefs have

1777
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 2: already clinched that this year in the AFC, but the

1778
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 2: NFC is still frankly too close to call the Lions

1779
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 2: and Vikings ahead of a winner winner take off Sunday

1780
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 2: Night match up eighteen. That's the chase for the NFC's

1781
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:20,000
Speaker 2: By oh my goodness, I can't remember a regular season

1782
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:26,480
Speaker 2: game with this many storylines, so much highly charged activity

1783
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 2: as well as what's at stake. Here's why the number

1784
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 2: one seed is so pivotal. Let's cut right to the

1785
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 2: chase the top seed in the NFL. The number one

1786
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 2: seed makes the Super Bowl slightly more than all the

1787
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 2: other seeds combined, as you heard me say earlier. Of

1788
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:50,640
Speaker 2: the last fifty number one seeds, twenty seven made the

1789
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 2: super Bowl, nine won it out right? Why are number

1790
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 2: one so successful? Well, in some ways it's obvious. First,

1791
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 2: they only need to win one fewer playoff game to

1792
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 2: reach the super Bowl than all the other playoff teams

1793
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 2: in their conference, and are often quite good at football. Interestingly,

1794
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 2: also playing at home the old famed home field advantage.

1795
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 2: While that may not come into play as much as

1796
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 2: you might think it does, however, you still don't have

1797
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 2: to travel. If you take a look at every completed

1798
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 2: NFL season in the last twenty five years, teams that

1799
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 2: have gotten the number one seed, as I just said,

1800
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 2: they get to the super Bowl fifty two percent of

1801
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 2: the time. That's pretty good odds. So even though there

1802
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 2: were three hundred and eight teams fighting over those fifty

1803
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 2: two spots, that fifty two percent for the number one

1804
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 2: seats is amazingly high. So by probability alone, the one

1805
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 2: seat should make the Super Bowl about one out of

1806
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 2: every six times, and they do now. The buy itself

1807
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 2: is also an important component of the number one seed

1808
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 2: success because if by I mean a team only has

1809
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 2: to win two games, instead of three, and they're getting

1810
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 2: them both at home. Consider the simple math. Going back

1811
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 2: to nineteen ninety nine, there have been one five hundred

1812
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 2: and sixty eight winning streaks during the regular season of

1813
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 2: at least two games. Only slightly less than half of

1814
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 2: those streaks seven hundred and eighty were extended to three

1815
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 2: games or more. Where am I going with that? It's

1816
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:16,720
Speaker 2: difficult to win three games in a row in the

1817
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 2: National Football League period, much less on the road against

1818
01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:23,639
Speaker 2: playoff teams. The importance of that makes the number one

1819
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 2: seed even more key, and up until twenty nineteen, the

1820
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:30,000
Speaker 2: top two seeds in each conference got to buy. Now

1821
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:34,080
Speaker 2: it's just one number one seed in each conference. By

1822
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:36,679
Speaker 2: the way, about three quarters of the teams that made

1823
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl got to buy or first or second seed.

1824
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 2: From nineteen ninety nine to twenty nineteen, those teams that

1825
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 2: were the number one seed more than double the teams

1826
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:50,280
Speaker 2: that were the number two seeds, so finishing second isn't

1827
01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 2: always so great. By the way, the last four seasons,

1828
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 2: for the eight fifty percent of the teams of the

1829
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:59,560
Speaker 2: number one seeds made the Super Bowl, exactly zero of

1830
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 2: the eight number two seeds made the Super Bowl. This

1831
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 2: includes the Buffalo Bills, a tremendous team who's been second

1832
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 2: in the AFC three of the last four years. Now,

1833
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 2: it's possible the lack of a second seed makes making

1834
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:16,559
Speaker 2: the super Bowl, since the elimination of number two's are

1835
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:20,920
Speaker 2: getting to buy due to chance, much more difficult. We'll

1836
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,719
Speaker 2: see in past years the Buffalo Bills would have gotten

1837
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 2: that opening round by but they're at least going to

1838
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 2: get one home game. But if the Chiefs keep winning

1839
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,280
Speaker 2: and they take advantage of that number two seed, you

1840
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 2: know that, at least for the AFC, as we know

1841
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 2: right now, the road to the super Bowl is going

1842
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 2: back through Arrowhead. Okay, by the way, there have been

1843
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 2: twenty seven instances where a team was the top seed.

1844
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 2: They were the best team in their conference the clear

1845
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 2: majority of the time sixty seven percent, they went on

1846
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 2: to play in the super Bowl. When the number one

1847
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 2: seed was not the same team that led the league

1848
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 2: in stats, they weren't the best team according for margin

1849
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 2: of victory and strength to schedule. They only went to

1850
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl eight to twenty three times, still thirty

1851
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 2: five percent. Now you can say that might be bad

1852
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:08,559
Speaker 2: news for the Chiefs because they don't mean, they don't

1853
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,439
Speaker 2: score high in what's called the simple rating system, margin

1854
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 2: of victory, things of that nature. But I think there's

1855
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 2: a different dynamic to this team. Okay, now, the Lions,

1856
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 2: who technically still are the favorite. They're a three point

1857
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 2: favorite Sunday night to get the number one in the NFC,

1858
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 2: lead the conference in simple rating, which means margin to victory.

1859
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 2: That should be a clear favorite to reach the super Bowl,

1860
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 2: that is, if they do get the number one seat.

1861
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 2: Except they've got a bunch of injuries on defense. I

1862
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 2: just told you there are some very inconvenient truths. They're

1863
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 2: missing players on both sides of the ball. They have

1864
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 2: eleven players on defense who are on ir who at

1865
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 2: one time were starters this year. Now, is that too

1866
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 2: much to overcome? No, Adon Hutchinson. No, David Montgomery. It

1867
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 2: starts from there. He used to draw a double team.

1868
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 2: Now he's gone. Alex Angeloni's gone. Defensive backs are gone.

1869
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:01,880
Speaker 2: You show what the Niners did do them on Monday Night.

1870
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:05,680
Speaker 2: But the Lions do have the it factor, whatever it is.

1871
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 2: They can clearly keep pace, even their defense is flagging long.

1872
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:11,760
Speaker 2: The short of it is, they're giving up thirty two

1873
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 2: points a game, but their offense is given up thirty seven.

1874
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:19,200
Speaker 2: But again, going back through on Super Bowl history, that

1875
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:22,719
Speaker 2: is not a good number because in the last ten

1876
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, no Super Bowl team is giving up more

1877
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 2: than sixteen point seven points a game. Now, what about

1878
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:34,759
Speaker 2: the fact that the Chiefs and let's say the Lions

1879
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 2: win get to play two home games this postseason? Is

1880
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 2: an home field advantage important? Well, not as important as

1881
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 2: you may think. Remember last year the Chiefs won two

1882
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:46,599
Speaker 2: roads on the road in tough playoff environments. So I

1883
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 2: think that's a bit of an outlier, and the Chiefs

1884
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 2: are magic. But you'd much rather be playing at home

1885
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 2: than on the road. Okay, playing at home. Even going

1886
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 2: back a few years, the teams who got that home

1887
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 2: field advantage only won fifty three percent of their regular

1888
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:09,719
Speaker 2: season games at home. So home teams regular season games

1889
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 2: playoff games is still going to come down to a

1890
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 2: lot of times a coin flip. But you still want

1891
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 2: to be at home and not having to travel. You

1892
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:24,000
Speaker 2: want your own locker room, you got better facilities, you're

1893
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 2: not having again all the things that just repeated, All right, Now,

1894
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:31,000
Speaker 2: let's get back to what else is on at stake.

1895
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 2: To settle not just you know what we're talking about

1896
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and Baltimore and Detroit, Minnesota. Let's talk about the

1897
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:43,679
Speaker 2: NFC South. The Tampa Bay Bucks are nine and seven.

1898
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 2: They control their destiny and they got to be loving life.

1899
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 2: Why they're fourteen and a half point favorite at home

1900
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 2: against a not very good team who had high hopes

1901
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 2: this year started out slow. They have a hand injuries.

1902
01:38:56,560 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 2: The Bucks should take care of business. Okay, they have

1903
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,880
Speaker 2: a one game advantage over the Falcons. Tampa Bay will

1904
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:08,240
Speaker 2: face New Orleans at one o'clock Eastern and Atlanta will

1905
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:10,640
Speaker 2: host Carolina at the same time. So long in the

1906
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 2: short of it is, the Falcons hold the tiebreaker over

1907
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 2: the Bucks if they both finished with nine to eight.

1908
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 2: But you know it feels like the Bucks really control

1909
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 2: their destiny. Just win now a final wild card slot.

1910
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 2: In addition to the NFC South Championship, there's also still

1911
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 2: one unclaimed playoff perth in the AFC. Now, the Broncos

1912
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 2: hold the cards there. They're ten and a half point

1913
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 2: favorites over the Chiefs. It's not going to be easy,

1914
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:41,080
Speaker 2: and the Dolphins are behind them. They're eight and eight,

1915
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 2: but two is not going to play and The Bengals

1916
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 2: are also still trying to claim that spot. They've got

1917
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 2: to win on the road at Pittsburgh. So Denver's at

1918
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:51,559
Speaker 2: home against Kansas City, and you get the picture. They win,

1919
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:55,400
Speaker 2: they're in if they lose and Cincinnati wins, they need

1920
01:39:55,479 --> 01:40:02,559
Speaker 2: help playoff positioning. Even with most most excuse me, of

1921
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 2: the playoff entrants already knowing, there's plenty of jockeying still

1922
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:10,240
Speaker 2: happening for that final seeding. Now, the Steelers in particular

1923
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 2: could shift between the number three and a division winner

1924
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 2: or as low as the number six seed, because the

1925
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 2: winner of that final game, and I'm not sure how

1926
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:23,680
Speaker 2: this calculates, I'm not that smart, the winner of that

1927
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 2: final game between the Vikings and Lions, which is, you know,

1928
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 2: the proverbial game two seventy two, gets the number one seed,

1929
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 2: while the Losers are going to drop all the way

1930
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 2: to number five. That is brutal. Imagine being fourteen to

1931
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 2: three and being the number five seed. Meanwhile, over in

1932
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 2: the AFC, the Chargers, who are ten and six, they

1933
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,879
Speaker 2: finish up their regular season right here in Las Vegas

1934
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:53,719
Speaker 2: against the Raiders. They're also still pushing for a number

1935
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 2: five seed, which would bring a first round playoff matchup

1936
01:40:56,720 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 2: at the number four Texans. There seems the Texans must

1937
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 2: be buzzing because all you are hearing among the group

1938
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:08,880
Speaker 2: thay echo chamber is Baltimore would much rather win and

1939
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 2: beat Cincinnati and play the Texans as opposed to a

1940
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 2: different opponent. And now we're hearing the Chargers they beat,

1941
01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, the Raiders. They'd rather play the Texans as well.

1942
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,040
Speaker 2: And I guess the Technans are depleted. But the NFL

1943
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:25,080
Speaker 2: preseason is a different animal, so be careful what you

1944
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 2: wish for. All right. Talked about this on the midnight hour,

1945
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:30,559
Speaker 2: and I know it got a little chopped up there

1946
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 2: with our stuff, and I appreciate my crew keeping us

1947
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:38,639
Speaker 2: glue together. Did an outstanding job. The all time rushing

1948
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:42,600
Speaker 2: title this is We had some really interesting callers go

1949
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 2: back and forth. One, you know, it's a team game.

1950
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 2: They're trying to, you know, fry bigger fish. On the

1951
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:51,640
Speaker 2: other hand, this is a cherished record. Why can't he

1952
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 2: get both? Why you've Bill Belichick was couded, well, if

1953
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 2: he's healthy, he should play. No one's ever going to

1954
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 2: agree on this. Sakuon Barkley became the ninth player last

1955
01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 2: week in NFL history to rush for two thousand yards

1956
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 2: in a season. Now with just one hundred and one

1957
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 2: more yards. I say that like it's so easy, but

1958
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 2: it'd be. It's just amazing how these things have symmetry.

1959
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 2: He would do it against his former team who let

1960
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 2: him go, the New York Giants. If he played, he

1961
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 2: would break the league record. If you get Eric Dickerson,

1962
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 2: I'd rush for I believe about five yards with the Rams.

1963
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:28,720
Speaker 2: I want to say it was I want to say

1964
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 2: it was eighty three around that time. So Barkley, if

1965
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 2: you would replace some they get one hundred and two yards,

1966
01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 2: he would break a record that's been held for forty

1967
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 2: years by Eric Dickerson. The Eagles, they're locked into the

1968
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,680
Speaker 2: number two seed. They really have nothing to play for,

1969
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 2: and they want to lick their wounds and get healthy

1970
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 2: and be ready for this Super Bowl tournament run. And

1971
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:54,719
Speaker 2: they are not going to have the number one seed.

1972
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 2: So it's presumed unless you know the number one seed

1973
01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 2: gets knocked off that Phill I'd have to go on

1974
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 2: the road to for the right to go to the

1975
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:05,640
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. They're gonna want a healthy Sequon Barkley. One

1976
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:07,799
Speaker 2: of the other callers brought up a good point that partner.

1977
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,719
Speaker 2: I think it was Hilberto that Barkley has been injury prone.

1978
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 2: So it's a risk reward situation. But it's a story.

1979
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 2: One of the other stories was, well Dickerson did it

1980
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,360
Speaker 2: in sixteen games. Well Jay Simpson did it in fourteen.

1981
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 2: Now we're playing you know, we're playing what seventeen? All right?

1982
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 2: Fair enough, we've been playing seventeen for a while. But

1983
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:30,720
Speaker 2: even if you were to get the record, I don't

1984
01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 2: know that it's diminished. I mean, it's a situation where

1985
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:38,680
Speaker 2: you know, when Roger Maris broke Bay Bruce record, it

1986
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 2: lasted for thirty four years and you got to play

1987
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,719
Speaker 2: eight more games, but the record still lasted for thirty

1988
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,120
Speaker 2: four years, and this record's lasted forty years. So anyway

1989
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 2: you slice it, all right, the bottom line is it's

1990
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 2: a fade to complete unless something dramatically changes that. We

1991
01:43:55,320 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 2: don't know about sakuon Bar. It's not playing Sunday, And

1992
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 2: there may be some regrets here and there, But if

1993
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 2: you know people are going to hold mental pictures of

1994
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 2: what they don't want to happen. If Barkley were to

1995
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,640
Speaker 2: play and got hurt, can you imagine the outcry the

1996
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 2: Eagles can win the Super Bowl. Actually, right now, I

1997
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 2: think they're the only team that can beat Kansas City

1998
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:20,600
Speaker 2: on a neutral field. But conversation with a different day,

1999
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:24,400
Speaker 2: people are still arguing also about the MVP race. Now,

2000
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 2: Josh Shallen here in Vegas has the betting advantage over

2001
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson. But you know, Lamar, who's already a two

2002
01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:35,719
Speaker 2: time winner of the award, he appears to be closing

2003
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,000
Speaker 2: and he has more to play for this weekend. He

2004
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 2: legitimately has more to play for. Baltimore wants to win.

2005
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 2: So that's still got to be decided among all the

2006
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:47,640
Speaker 2: other things we discussed now at the other end of

2007
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,640
Speaker 2: the NFL and what you would consider, I believe a

2008
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 2: very competitive landscape, although this is certainly one of those

2009
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 2: years where it was a situation where the haves versus

2010
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 2: the have nots. There's current only a four team race

2011
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,599
Speaker 2: for the worst record, and in turn, the worst record

2012
01:45:04,600 --> 01:45:07,799
Speaker 2: gets you the first pick and the twenty twenty five draft,

2013
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 2: which is currently presumed by many to be Colorado quarterbacks.

2014
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:15,439
Speaker 2: You door, Sanders may or may not be. He's a

2015
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 2: fine athlete. I think he's projected to do well you

2016
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 2: don't know. You've heard my oratories in the past about

2017
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 2: the risk of drafting a quarterback in the first round.

2018
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 2: They don't work out all a lot, especially the number

2019
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,679
Speaker 2: one quarterback overall. And you know what, do you really

2020
01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,760
Speaker 2: want to sweat draft in the number one guy? With

2021
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 2: all due respect to Caleb Williams, other quarterbacks drafted below him,

2022
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 2: I think have done much better Bo Nicks, Jayden Daniels.

2023
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:45,599
Speaker 2: So sometimes you got to be careful what you wish

2024
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:49,760
Speaker 2: for do. But one of these four teams, the Browns, Giants, Patriots,

2025
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 2: and Titans, they're all three and thirteen. New York lost

2026
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 2: its grip on handling the top draft pick by upsetting

2027
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 2: the Colts last Sunday. I don't know that they care.

2028
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:02,240
Speaker 2: They do they are going to need a quarterback. New England,

2029
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:06,720
Speaker 2: interestingly enough, now holds the tiebreaker in this race, and

2030
01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 2: they've got a quarterback in Drake May. So they're at

2031
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 2: the forefront of a Week eighteen game with a lot

2032
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 2: of inverse incentives. So the Patriots host the Bills to

2033
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:18,400
Speaker 2: close out the season, and fans are going to be

2034
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 2: rooting for a loss to Clinton Tumpton. You know, the

2035
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 2: top draft slot and who knows who they draft, probably

2036
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 2: not going to be a quarterback, by be defensive player.

2037
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 2: Maybe would be Travis Hunter, So that's something to think

2038
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 2: of as well. Buffalo's got their playoff position solidified, They're

2039
01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:35,960
Speaker 2: going to be far more interested in keeping their starters

2040
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:41,600
Speaker 2: healthy for the postseason. So the bottom line adding it

2041
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:44,840
Speaker 2: all up okay. In the NFC, the top seeds are

2042
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:47,680
Speaker 2: falling into place. Phillies thirteen to three. They won the

2043
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 2: NFC East and a big game out of Saquon Barkley,

2044
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 2: went over two thousand yards and they did it with

2045
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 2: their backup quarterback Kenny Pickett. They blew out the Cowboys

2046
01:46:56,760 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 2: forty one to seven. Still alive for the top spot

2047
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,880
Speaker 2: the Lions and Vikings, who are both fourteen and two.

2048
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 2: They both the Vikings beat another division rival, Green Bay

2049
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:10,920
Speaker 2: in a very wild game to hang on and the

2050
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 2: Lions managed to go on the road and it wasn't pretty,

2051
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:19,320
Speaker 2: but they got the w against the forty nine ers.

2052
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 2: But you have to be concerned. You have to be

2053
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 2: concerned from what you saw. Meanwhile, Washington clinch state wildcard

2054
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 2: birth another gutsy performance from Jaden Daniels in overtime against

2055
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:34,640
Speaker 2: the Falcons last week. The Rams are in line to

2056
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 2: win the NFC West and the Bucks gained a one

2057
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 2: game lead in the NFC South. We'll talk about the

2058
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:43,640
Speaker 2: AFC wrap that up coming up next. You're listening to

2059

01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:33,680
Speaker 2: you very much the AFC. Let's get to this and oh,

2071
01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:35,439
Speaker 2: by the way, I do want to remind the folks,

2072
01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:37,799
Speaker 2: by the way, be sure to tune into Fox Sports

2073
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:41,679
Speaker 2: Radio every Saturday morning beginning at nine am Eastern six

2074
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,240
Speaker 2: am Pacific. We're talking about four hours and twelve minutes away.

2075
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:47,639
Speaker 2: Contown to Kickoff, presented by Betmgm, Brian no Rich Arnberger,

2076
01:48:47,640 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 2: betting analyst Jared Smith. I have you covered three hours

2077
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,040
Speaker 2: before college kickoffs every Saturday morning, listening to Countdown to

2078
01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:56,280
Speaker 2: kickofpresented by BETTMGM writing here on Fox Sports Radio and

2079
01:48:56,320 --> 01:49:01,200
Speaker 2: the iHeart Radio app. All right, in the AFC, the

2080
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 2: top two seeds are secure because Buffalo claimed the number

2081
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 2: two spot where they routed the Jets last week. And

2082
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 2: you know all about the Chiefs. Baltimore's eleven and five,

2083
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's ten and six. They're still in play for the

2084
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 2: AFC North title. All right, Baltimore wins, they likely claim

2085
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:22,680
Speaker 2: that the number three seed. I think they catch Cincinnati.

2086
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:25,679
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's not a very well buttoned up team. Just my thoughts.

2087
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 2: Denver nine and seven, Cincinnati eight to eight, Miami eight

2088
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 2: and eight. They're still vine for the AFC's final playoff spot.

2089
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:38,559
Speaker 2: If Denver just simply beats Kansas City, some of their

2090
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:40,680
Speaker 2: backups will be on the field. The Broncos are in.

2091
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 2: If not, the door is open for the other two teams,

2092
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 2: and there's plenty of caveats which I just shared for now.

2093
01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 2: For now, the number one pick belongs to New England

2094
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 2: Patriots and the Giants and the Raiders. They both entered

2095
01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:59,480
Speaker 2: last week in great position for the top pick. And

2096
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 2: there are the those pundents. They say they screwed the

2097
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 2: whole thing up by winning their games. How do you

2098
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:05,600
Speaker 2: really know? Maybe they fall to a draft position and

2099
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 2: draft a guy that more suited. You try to thread

2100
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 2: the needle in these things, and there's always these high

2101
01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:17,439
Speaker 2: hopes and you know, great aspirations to want a certain pick,

2102
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 2: number ten for Tua, suck for luck whatever. None of

2103
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 2: them won a Super Bowl. So anyway, don't get me

2104
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:28,800
Speaker 2: on my soapbox on that one. New England does not

2105
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 2: need a quarterback and they might end up having a

2106
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 2: brand new head coach. So does that mean Travis Hunter

2107
01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 2: goes number one overall? Do they draft a no line?

2108
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 2: Do they trade down? That's why this weekend Week eighteen,

2109
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:46,559
Speaker 2: frankly has so much going for it, A lot of

2110
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 2: stuff going forward. All right, allons fans, I love you,

2111
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 2: but there are some I'm gonna repeat it again, some

2112
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:59,160
Speaker 2: very inconvenient truths about the Detroit Lions and their defense.

2113
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 2: And it's been going on since Thanksgiving, and I don't

2114
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 2: know how you clean it up. You're about to enter

2115
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:09,240
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl tournament and in games played the last

2116
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:11,639
Speaker 2: week of November and December the first week of January.

2117
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 2: The Lions defense averaging allowing thirty two point five points

2118
01:51:16,479 --> 01:51:21,000
Speaker 2: a game. The last ten Super Bowl winners averaged their

2119
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:24,719
Speaker 2: defense averaged only allowing sixteen point seven points a game.

2120
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 2: In fact, none of the last ten Super Bowl winners

2121
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:30,960
Speaker 2: a lot more than twenty one points a game. So

2122
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 2: we're defining the odds there. The Lions dearly because of

2123
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:38,640
Speaker 2: their defense, need the number one seed more so than

2124
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,679
Speaker 2: the Vikings. They have to win Sunday night at home

2125
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 2: to be the last game of the year. Why the

2126
01:51:46,439 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 2: last fifty number one seeds twenty seven reachs to Super

2127
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 2: Bowl nine won the damn thing out right. You want

2128
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 2: to increase your chances dramatically, or you can leave your

2129
01:51:56,320 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 2: faith to this. You end up the number five seed.

2130
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 2: You go on on the road three straight times. To

2131
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl, you'd have to get three straight

2132
01:52:05,280 --> 01:52:09,839
Speaker 2: road wins. It's been done five times in forty years.

2133
01:52:10,439 --> 01:52:13,200
Speaker 2: The last one to do it Tom Brady's twenty twenty Buccaneers.

2134
01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:17,080
Speaker 2: Before that, it was Aaron Rodgers and his only Super

2135
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:21,080
Speaker 2: Bowl win, the twenty ten Packers. Remember the two thousand

2136
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 2: and seven New York Giants that were a wild card team,

2137
01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 2: and they voted to a man to try to beat

2138
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,240
Speaker 2: New England in week seventeen, and they put everybody in

2139
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 2: and they were seven and a half point underdogs at home,

2140
01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 2: and they almost pull it off. Dan Campbell's channeling that

2141
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:39,920
Speaker 2: by the way, they almost beat New England in week seventeen.

2142
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:44,320
Speaker 2: They went on the road three straight NFC road wins

2143
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and then they beat New England and

2144
01:52:46,600 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 2: ruined their perfect season in the Super Bowl. And to

2145
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:51,280
Speaker 2: a man, they said that game. Tom Kaffin allowed the

2146
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 2: team to vote. They all voted to play. They wanted

2147
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:56,559
Speaker 2: to play. They agreed. That energized them, That revitalized them.

2148
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:58,759
Speaker 2: That set the tone for them to win the Super Bowl.

2149
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:02,360
Speaker 2: Vian Steelers with Ben Roethlisberger did at three in rows

2150
01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 2: prior to that. You go all the way back to

2151
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 2: the nineteen to eighty five Patriots coach by Raymond Berry,

2152
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:11,200
Speaker 2: quarterback by Tony Easton. They got to the Super Bowl

2153
01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:13,559
Speaker 2: and proceeded to get wamped by the Chicago Bears of

2154
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 2: the eighty six to forty six defense forty six to ten.

2155
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 2: This is the major inconvenient truth about the Lions defense.

2156
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:24,080
Speaker 2: Since Thanksgiving, they ranked thirtieth in the league in points

2157
01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:27,160
Speaker 2: per game allowed. They're allowing thirty points a game. They

2158
01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:29,679
Speaker 2: ranked last in the league and yards per play almost

2159
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:33,800
Speaker 2: seven yards per play. It's incredible. They ranked thirty first

2160
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 2: in past yards per game allowed everybody included Caleb Wayne

2161
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 2: three hundred and one yards a game. They're thrown against

2162
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 2: the Lions. Rushing tds you have the equal opportunity. The

2163
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 2: Lions defense since Thanksgiving ranks last and rush tds allowed nine.

2164
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 2: And finally, if you're an opposing Porto quarterback, you're passer

2165
01:53:51,320 --> 01:53:54,519
Speaker 2: rating against the Lions's Thanksgiving a sparkling one oh nine

2166
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 2: point seven. That makes that Lions defense last in the NFL.

2167
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:03,559
Speaker 2: I'll be back on these airwaves Saturday night at eleven

2168
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 2: pm Pacific to chop up the Saturday double header and

2169
01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 2: look ahead to the Sunday slate. And oh, by the way, yes,

2170
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,400
Speaker 2: we're going to dive into the Jimmy Butler situation, now

2171
01:54:15,080 --> 01:54:18,640
Speaker 2: suspended for seven games. Never a shortage of things to

2172
01:54:18,720 --> 01:54:22,240
Speaker 2: talk about, yes, sports or the toy department. I'm Bernie Frattle.
