They're living in the past of what 233 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 3: he used to be. And even this year, like last year, 234 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: he didn't get one single first place vote for MVP, 235 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: and this year he should not get if we were 236 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: voting right now, one single vote, not one. First of all, 237 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: the Chiefs are three and three. The teams that he's 238 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: beaten have a record of seven and twelve. He beat 239 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: Baltimore one and five, the Giants two and five, and 240 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: the Lions four and two.

He also beat quarterbacks 243 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 3: like Cooper Rush Russell Wilson, so he beats some also rams, 244 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: which is fine. 245 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: Here's the other part. 246 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is not rob g repeat after me, not 247 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: n ot in the top twenty in completion, not in 248 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: the top twenty. 249 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: Wow, in completions. 250 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 3: You know where he is in passer rating eighteenth, that's 251 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 3: below middle of the pack, which is fifteen sixteenth. Right, 252 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 3: He's eighteenth passer rating, seventh in touchdown passes with one 253 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: more than Lamar who's miss games, and he's tied with Tua, 254 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 3: whose team can't win. Stop with wanting to fall in 255 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 3: love with Patrick Mahomes because what he did to start 256 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: his career, I'll give it to you. It was magical. 257 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: It was unbelievable to watch. He's not that dude, Dear, 258 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: three and three, he's twentieth in completion percent of twentieth 259 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: to zero. Wow, eighteenth quarter passer rating. 260 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: How is that MVP? 261 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 3: No, that's not MVP when your team is three and three. 262 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 2: You hear me, saga, I'm right, I'm totally right. Patrick 263 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 2: Mahomes deserves zero. 264 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 3: MVP votes right here, right now at three and three. 265 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: So you're wrong, per usual. Now here's why you're wrong. 266 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: He's not gonna win it. But the idea that he 267 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: is going to be the leader, to me is not 268 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: crazy because people, this is what I said to you 269 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: three when they beat the Baltimore Ravens. I said, this 270 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: offense is about to explode, and since then it has 271 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: for him, since then, this offense is click. Last season, 272 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: you kept bringing up out his stats were very close 273 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: to Aaron Rodgers this season. Right now, he has eleven 274 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: touchdowns and two interceptions. He's on the roll right now 275 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: fifteen plus fifteen hundred yards to be more like the 276 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes of old you mentioned last season. I think 277 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: last season is gonna work in his favorite this season 278 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 2: because the last two seasons, actually Patrick Mahone's numbers weren't spectacular. 279 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes wasn't looking like what we had become accustom 280 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: to seeing. I think that is why people are gonna go, 281 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: that's the guy we knew. Those are the players we 282 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: used to seeing. Look at him going down the field 283 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: way more than he's going the last couple of years. 284 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: Look at him have any spectacular plays, and not to mention. 285 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: I think that it's gonna work in favor of him 286 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: that the season won't be a fifteen and two kind 287 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: of I think the season gonna be one of those 288 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: They're gonna lose a couple, then they're gonna win three four 289 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: in a row. They're gonna lose a couple, and they're 290 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: gonna work their way into the postseason. And I think 291 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: that's gonna work in his favor because people be able 292 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: to see all he had to do it a different way. Right, 293 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: it wasn't just easy and they were fifteen to two 294 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: and they just won all these games. I think it's 295 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: gonna be that's gonna work in his favor, that they're 296 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: gonna feel like. 297 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: Man, what about the numbers. I'm telling you da right, 298 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: So remember the twentieth and eight six. 299 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: This isn't today. I hear him. I'm telling you about 300 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: that projection. No, they're talking about right now. He should 301 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: be the lead favor. 302 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: Based on these numbers because they see what's coming. 303 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: I don't see what's coming. 304 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: He hasn't beaten Eddy Gody, he hasn't beaten said he 305 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 3: was coming. 306 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: No, I don't see it because he didn't want anybody. 307 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: He's number one receivers. 308 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: Oh, it's about what you've done and what you've accomplished 309 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: to this point. And right now, if they're Saete and 310 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: Ross already eighteen the. 311 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: Odds on favorite on the road, what is it, Rob, 312 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: it's the odds on favorite. I'm just talking about the MVP. 313 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: Meaning they're saying we still have ten weeks left. No, 314 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: there's who we think is gonna win it, and they're 315 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: seeing what he's about to keep doing for another ten 316 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: weeks I don't think he's going to win it, but 317 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: the idea that why he would be the favorite makes 318 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: sense because he's going to do it ended up statistically, 319 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: he's gonna be right there with the top two three guys. Statistically, 320 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: he's probably gonna beat most of the guys. 321 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: If he's eighteenth and twenties, you're gonna jump over all 322 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 3: because it's literally coming. 323 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: I told you this against Baltimore. I literally told you 324 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: all the dink and dunk stuff gone two hundred and 325 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: seventy yards, four touchdowns against the Ravens in the next 326 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: time touchdown on Lamar who not even playing well, we 327 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: know Lamar is always MVP candidate. We know that that's 328 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: not even that's Lamar's Lamar, And so this is he's 329 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: on his way and they're already seeing he's doing this, 330 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: and Rashid Rice is getting ready to come back, and 331 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: he's starting to look like him. He's starting to look 332 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: stylistically like him, doing plays, going downfield, doing trick plays 333 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: are worthy. It's on the way where he's gonna be 334 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: right back in that candidate, And I already told you 335 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: chie's gonna be right back in the AFC Championship Game. 336 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: We're all gonna see here and be like, wait, how 337 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: did this happen? Again? It's on the way and to me, 338 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't take a rocket science to see that. Now. 339 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: I still again, I think Baker Mayfield is a leader 340 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: and probably as long as the team doesn't go take 341 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: some epic fall, because he should be getting receivers back 342 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: because he's doing this without a lot of guys, I 343 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: think is Baker's year. I think it's gonna be a 344 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: great storyline. I think it's Baker. But the idea that 345 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes won't finish top be right there because we 346 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: know who actually should be getting it other than Baker. 347 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: It's me John Robinson. But we know running backs don't 348 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: get it good for some reason. Running backs you only 349 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: get the offensive Player of the year, guys, So here's 350 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 2: your Just call it the running back of the year 351 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: called Quarterback of the year. So we can all stop 352 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 2: acting like an VP can be anything but a quarterback. 353 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: So just call it the MVQ Most Valu Quarterback Awards. 354 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 2: Isn't Rice also coming off the torn ACL loosing off 355 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: the suspension, right, but he's still coming from that was 356 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 2: that was? 357 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 3: It usually takes a couple of years to recover from that. 358 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 3: So you're acting like he's gonna automatically. I know he's 359 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 3: been on suspension, but he's coming off a major injury too. 360 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 2: I'm not worried about that.

We do have. 366 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 3: A big time rivalry, a blue blood kind of thing 367 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 3: that people if you watch college football and I remember 368 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 3: covering a Notre Dame you see game back in the 369 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 3: eighties when Rocket Ishmael was a player for Notre Dame 370 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: and I covered him in high school right back in 371 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six, And this must be like nineteen eighty 372 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: seven or something like that, like a year or so later, 373 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty eight at the latest. And what a big deal. 374 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 3: And you know that the history of that rivalry, Rob G. 375 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: The the rivalry is of course, I've been threatened now 376 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: right because this is the last one. 377 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: Yeah blinking, you might miss it. 378 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: Just like Rob Parker's fledgling radio career, it could be 379 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: over before you know it. 380 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: What are you talking about? 381 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: Forty years later. The same thing with Notre Dame in USC. 382 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: The contract is not being renewed, Rob Parker, That's happened 383 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: a few times. Oh yeah, listen, they say, you ain't 384 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: been in the business till that happened. In all seriousness, 385 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: this Saturday, if things don't change, will be the last 386 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: time you see Notre Dame taking on USC in the 387 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: regular season. 388 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 2: That's crazy. 389 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: They've been negotiating allegedly all off season. Notre Dame, by 390 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: all accounts, wants to continue. USC is a little bit 391 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: trepidacious because their feeling is a unless they expand the 392 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: playoff beyond twelve teams where the Big ten is guaranteed 393 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: four to five spots. 394 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: Why could they earn it. There was no incentive for 395 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 2: us to do. 396 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: And so much so they've actually started speaking outside of 397 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: their own network Big Fox, CBS, so on and so forth, 398 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: as it ain't Netflix. If you're willing to pay Bucho 399 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: mucho dollars, then maybe we'll continue this rivalry. But unless 400 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: you do, it's all to be determined. We always try 401 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: to strong on people for money. 402 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 2: Well that's what you do the restaurants. 403 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 3: No, but I gave you five, I want more shrimp 404 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 3: than that. Don't skip me on my shrimpies. I just 405 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 3: want what I paid for, that's all. I want, nothing extra, 406 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 3: just what I paid for. 407 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 2: All Right, Well, this, I absolutely believe that we're in 408 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 2: a situation where we need to just call college sports 409 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: professional sports, because that's essentially what's going on here. We've 410 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: been right, but I mean at this point now with 411 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: the I L and and all these realignments, and historically 412 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 2: these schools were in the Pac twelve and this was 413 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: the Big ten and I was really like the Big 414 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 2: twenty five, so many schools in it, and realignment of 415 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 2: of these conferences. Man, we need to just call what 416 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 2: it is. It's a professional sports light at this point. 417 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: And I believe college football has sacrifice tradition for profits. 418 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 2: One of the things that separated the difference is between 419 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: you know, pros and the college. Were the traditions that 420 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 2: you had. This school was going to play this school 421 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: and this mattered this and you kind of knew what 422 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: you were gonna get and it was popping circumstance around it. Right, 423 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: all that matter rivalries and tradition. You know that the 424 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: the blue bloods, well that doesn't matter anymore. And you're 425 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: starting to see that with a lot of these rivalries. Now, 426 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 2: I do think they're going to keep a couple. But 427 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: I'll tell you when I knew that this was in 428 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: jeopardy was when you were going to have Ohio State 429 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: and Michigan not play. When they had started like the 430 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 2: legends and the leaders, whatever the visions are, and they 431 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 2: were like, all right, well they're gonna do this, and 432 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: with these new teams in the Big Ten, if you 433 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 2: do the scheduling, Ohio State may not play Michigan every 434 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: other year or something like that. And people lost their 435 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: minds because that's one of the best, if not the 436 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: best rivalry in all the college football. And so that's 437 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: just where we are, man. And it's disappointing because that's 438 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 2: one of the things you got used to, you grew 439 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: and you knew. And I'll give you an example. There 440 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: are years Michigan wasn't great. National championship wasn't a big thing, 441 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: like even for them last season years, what are you 442 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: talking about? The national champions in national jymps. So they 443 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: never played for that anyone. But if you ruined Ohio State, 444 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 2: or if Ohio State ruined Michigan, or if you're all 445 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 2: burning you ruin Alabama's year or vice versa or LSU. 446 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: These were the great things that made college football great. 447 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: And the idea that you would lose this you're just 448 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: completely kind of taking the fabric away from college football. 449 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: But again, this has been kind of eroding over the years. 450 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: These are the things that have been happening slowly but 451 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 2: surely over the years. And again I brought it up too. 452 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 2: We saw it first in college basketball with the one 453 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: and Don's. Now you have your version of a one 454 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 2: and done in college football, which we know they can't 455 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: leave and go to the pros, but what you can 456 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 2: do is leave a school and you're starting to have 457 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: where guys wait in quarterback, that's the main position. You 458 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 2: want to know right now he's going over there, and 459 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: he's going over there leaving. No, I'm not mad if 460 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: I'm saying you're losing the like the this is my guy. 461 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: He's been there for two three years, he's gonna fight. 462 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: He lost two years versus team. Now he's gonna get 463 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 2: him back for two years. We're losing all of that. 464 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: So that's just it's par for the course right now 465 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: with where we are and the college sports. But you 466 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: hate to see it, because that's what made the game 467 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: the game, if you will. But that's just the current 468 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: state of college football. It is all about profits, period. 469 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: He was all about profits. But you kept some traditions. 470 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: Traditions are out the window. 471 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 3: Everything everything's lost. Nope, they don't care. They don't care 472 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 3: about any of that. They want as much money as 473 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 3: they can make. They don't care. If you're gonna kill 474 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 3: traditions and different stuff. It's a shame to be honest, 475 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 3: because everything can't be for sale. Okay, and I've said 476 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: this over and over. That's why I have the utmost 477 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: respect for like the Dodgers and the Yankees. The Yankee 478 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: Stadium tomorrow could be American Express Stadium for gazillion dollars. 479 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium could be American Express Stadium for gazillion tomorrow tomorrow, 480 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 3: and they. 481 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: Refuse to do it. 482 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 4: Right. 483 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 3: The Yankees could have black uniforms, will they do it? 484 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 3: They could put names on the back so they could 485 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 3: sell more UNI jerseys or whatever. No, there's a tradition 486 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: of certain stuff that needs to stay. Everything can't be 487 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 3: for sale. And it's a shame for people who have 488 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: always loved the whole Notre Dame in USC and that 489 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: and this is the last one, and out of negotiating, 490 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 3: and we might sell it to the highest bidder and 491 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 3: figure it out. And we saw it in boxing. People 492 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 3: ask why boxing isn't as big. They decided to take 493 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 3: the pay per view money. 494 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 2: We don't care. I was a kid. 495 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 3: I used to listen to boxing on the No kid 496 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 3: today could imagine listening to a fight on the radio. 497 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: They were so afraid that people wouldn't buy the fight 498 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 3: that they didn't want it on the radio. There are 499 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: people who are driving in cars who can't watch the fight. 500 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 3: Why would you take that away? You really believe that 501 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: that's what they done. All the fights come on after 502 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 3: midnight Eastern time. All the kids, all of nine and 503 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: ten and eleven year old boys who are sports fans, 504 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 3: can't watch, so you don't grow up with it. I 505 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 3: watched Muhammad Ali on a Saturday afternoon fight Jimmy Young, ABC, 506 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 3: Wild World of Sports, Howard Cosell Saturday afternoon. They didn't say, like, oh, no, 507 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: every fight's gotta be the Saturday night in Las Vegas 508 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 3: at midnight. To me, no, to sell the sport, to 509 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 3: make fans of the sport and I think if you 510 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 3: keep doing this with college football at some point, I 511 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: know nobody believes in and all college football whatever. Don't 512 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 3: forget that the NBA was on tape to lay at 513 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 3: one point. I know nobody can believe that because I 514 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: grew up and I watched it with a local sportscaster 515 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 3: at eleven o'clock. At eleven o'clock news would say, Hey, 516 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 3: coming up next on Channel two, here the NBA Finals 517 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 3: game number three, And if you're gonna watch it, turn 518 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: down your sound outside of score so that you don't 519 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 3: win a game that was the game. Can you imagine that? 520 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 3: You can't imagine that. No, but that's what happened. And 521 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 3: you know what I think is a big factor in 522 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: this is gambling. I think gambling parlays all that good 523 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 3: stuff is the new like the new attention, Like I 524 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 3: don't need the rivalries. I don't even cause, like I 525 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: mentioned with the transfer, I don't know all the quarterbacks. 526 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 3: I don't even know the players anymore. 527 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 2: I just know I'm keeping up on it via the fantasies, 528 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: via the gambling. And that's a huge thing. I think 529 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 2: now is just kind of the new way of watching 530 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: new entertainment, the new versus just the pageantry of it 531 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: all and the rivalries. But to be honest, this is 532 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 2: bigger than USC because USC, on the flip side of this, 533 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,479 Speaker 2: they're not the one that draws the needle per se. 534 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: When you look at the top twenty five games this season, 535 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 2: USC is not in a single one of those. USC 536 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 2: being in La as we are, USC is very fickle. 537 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: Right when USC is popping, you got Pete Carroll, you 538 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: got all the things going on. They're huge. When they're not, 539 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: they're not. So that's you had Kayleb Williams, a Heisman 540 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 2: Trophy winner and a Heisman Trophy nominee or you know, 541 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: finalists or like a consideration the next year. Nobody was 542 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: really talking about USC. But it's bigger than them because 543 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: to me, it's other states, right, it's just the Alabama's 544 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 2: of the worlds where you got the Auburn in Alabama. 545 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: It's the Michigan's, Ohio's to Texas states where those college 546 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: football is huge, steal huge, Florida's of the world huge. 547 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 2: Here in LA it's a little different. Like I said, 548 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: if USC ain't great, no one necessarily cares. Dodgers are 549 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: great Lakers, You know what are they gonna be? It 550 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: becomes all the big conversations. So, but you're starting to 551 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: lose all of this man and the last point. College 552 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: football playoffs, that's where maybe rivalries were being select You're 553 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: gonna get teams that weren't traditional rivals because they're gonna 554 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: be competing for titles more so. It might become Georgia, 555 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: Ohio State become a rivalry because they're always in the 556 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 2: college football playoffs. It might be become Alabama, you know, 557 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 2: Clemson because they're always in the College Oregon, Michigan because 558 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 2: they're always in the college football playoffs competing. You're gonna 559 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 2: start getting rivalries that weren't traditional rivalries because of college 560 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: football playoffs and expansion of it. That's what's going to 561 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: become the new rivalry in college football
