Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 2: Hey, Happy Tuesday. I just don't know if Mike Tomlin 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: is happy that he's stepping down, but needing a break 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: after nineteen seasons saying enough is enough. The Steelers head 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: coach stepping aside after last night's wildcard lost to the 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: Houston Texans. Shocking news in this breaking news world that 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: we have, but maybe not so shocking when you consider 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: what's going on over the past couple of months, and 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: even according to our nflains had our Adam Kaplan, who 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 2: has joined us the last couple of years, that the 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 2: end was coming soon for Mike Tomlin with the Steelers today, 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 2: he's the one that pulled the plug, stepping down after 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 2: nineteen seasons. That's the story that I believe. That's the 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: story they're telling us, and I think it fits with 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: everything that the Steelers have put out. But Mike Tomlin 18 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: done after nineteen seasons? 19 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, nineteen years doing anything is a long time, and 20 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: so to do it at you know, a top level 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: for that amount of time and to never have a 22 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: losing season which obviously there's a debate about what that 23 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 3: really means. But you know, you look at his record 24 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 3: in those nineteen seasons. He was two hundred and one 25 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 3: and one hundred and twenty six and two in the NFL. 26 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 3: That's a that's a pretty pretty good run in Pittsburgh. 27 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: It's an ever changing landscape. And now with the coaching 28 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: carousel that we've had going on, some thought four or 29 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 2: five openings, and there were eight, then there were nine. 30 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: We think we're done. I don't think. I don't think 31 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: there is. I think Ben Johnson and Sean McVay are safe. 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: I think Mike Vrabel and Tmiko Ryans are safe. Mike, 33 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: you're stole. That's all right. We gotta get the Tuesday 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: morning quarterback anyway, Let's do it Tuesday. 35 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: This is Tuesday morning quarterback in the afternoon. Mondays can 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: be overwhelming. Tuesdays, they're getting to whatever we didn't get. 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: To on Monday. 38 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: Lo, this is Tuesday morning quarterback in the afternoon. 39 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: All right, A lot to get to in the National 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: Football League, especially after the crazy wild card weekend. We 41 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: haven't even talked about last night's game as much. But 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: the Tuesday morning quarterback allows us to talk about all 43 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: the things maybe we didn't get to on Monday. Jason Stewart, 44 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: we started off with you, our executive producer. 45 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 4: A keynote for everybody that might be partaking for the 46 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 4: first time. It's the NFL news that we did not 47 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 4: get to on on Monday. Those are the rules for 48 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 4: new listeners as well. I want to talk about Brock 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 4: party Nice. I feel like, even though Brock Purty seemingly 50 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 4: is always in this talk space, that he doesn't quite 51 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: get enough credit. I was just reminded that he went 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: to the NFC Title Game in twenty two with the team, 53 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: and then he went to the Super Bowl in twenty 54 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 4: twenty three. He's played in these high leverage games as 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 4: the last pick in the NFL draft, and it's been 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 4: interesting to see how he's been covered, because remember, he 57 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 4: was an amazing story from the last pick in the 58 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 4: starting quarterback, and then it became this weird thing where 59 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 4: people are like, well, he doesn't deserve franchise money, and 60 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 4: then he was a bad guy for all of a sudden, 61 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 4: and now he's leading a team one game away from 62 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: the NFC title Game. Sorry, Dan, but that will be 63 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 4: the story. Three NFC title games and four years for 64 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: the quarterback that was taken with the last pick in 65 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 4: the NFL Draft. I know that he's talked about a lot. 66 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 4: I just don't get the sense that he's talked about 67 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 4: and just how amazing his story and his journey has been. 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: I just wanted to shed light on that on Tuesday Morning. 69 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: Quarterback. I think it's a complete what have you done 70 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: for me lately? And the mister irrelevant stuff just wore 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: off as soon as he became good. And it's funny 72 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: because then the question is what do you do when 73 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: you pay the guy? And then he got paid and 74 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: got the fifty million or so that he was looking for. 75 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: Wasn't overpaid? No, And I felt that once he got paid, 76 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: it stopped the discussion about him, not because everybody was convinced. 77 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: It wasn't exciting to talk anymore, because there was no like, 78 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: there was no tipping point one way or another with 79 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: Brock Purdy. The question was were they gonna keep them, 80 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: were they gonna overpay? Were they gonna low ball him? 81 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: All of those things leading up when he had done 82 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: so much from that underdog position was then pushed away 83 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: when he signed the contract. And unlike like Tom Brady 84 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: never had the deal with expectations. The only expectations I 85 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: think Brady had to deal with were when he and 86 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning were both at the top of their game 87 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: and near the top of their game, and it was 88 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: who was better, who was worse? And I think in 89 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 2: the end Brady pulled away and became the goat that 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: he is. But there was a discussion there, But at 91 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: no point did we sit there and say, all right, 92 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: is Tom Brady good enough? Because he went and he 93 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl, so there was nothing really to 94 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: talk about him about. And I feel like the contract 95 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: with Purdy is the same way now. If they win 96 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl and there's gonna be another track coming 97 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: up in a couple of years, what do you do? 98 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: Maybe that's the conversation. But I think just the fact 99 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: that he got paid and got paid what was an 100 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 2: acceptable amount took the took the drama away from Perdy. 101 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jason, he went from mystery relevant to one percenter, 102 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: So that discussion changes really quickly. It would almost be 103 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: like if we were watching the movie back in the 104 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 3: day Rudy and Rudy wasn't all pro like that, that 105 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: movie wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't have carried the 106 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 3: same way, even though he did get to that point. 107 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 3: And there's a point where the story is one of 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: those od sucks and it feels good once he's that 109 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 3: one percenter, that's that story changes really quickly. 110 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 4: Don't you agree to the guys that the goal posts 111 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: keep changing? Yes, pun intended, and that they they they 112 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 4: keep moving it back. It was like, well, he's not 113 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 4: good enough to get paid franchise money, and it was 114 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: mostly doubt, and then it's well you can't get to 115 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 4: a super Bowl with them? Yeah, and now it's like, oh, 116 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 4: you can't win a super Bowl with it. It's like 117 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 4: the goal posts campt changing for this guy. 118 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: And now for as shorthanded as they are. Yep, I 119 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: think that he showed his worth, especially with the shorthanded 120 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: issue with their receiving core, well that wide receiver and 121 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 2: tight end. All right, Kerrie, what do you want to 122 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: talk about the National Football League? 123 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 3: What I want to talk about is a head coach 124 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 3: that I've known since he was probably nine years old, 125 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: and I knew at nine he was gonna be this 126 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 3: guy and be the person leading a franchise to possibly 127 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: glory and his name is Demigo Ryans. We don't talk 128 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: a lot about him. We don't talk about their team 129 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: a lot. They won nine games in a row in 130 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: the regular season, and everybody just kind of was like, Ah, 131 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: the defense. 132 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 2: Is good, offense isn't good enough. 133 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 3: They're not going to win, get into a playoff game, 134 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: wild card weekend? 135 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: Those things are you? Offense did not play well. C J. 136 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 3: Stroud turned the ball over and it looked like it 137 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: was gonna be one of those game where the Steelers 138 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: could probably still won. But when you have faith, and 139 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: you have somebody that believes in their team and can 140 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: instill that competitive fire throughout fourth quarters and throughout a 141 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 3: whole season, when you start out slow and get to 142 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: the point they are right now. I want to get 143 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: my flowers to Demico Ryans and to the Houston Texans 144 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: on Tuesday. 145 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: Do you think they could go to the Super Bowl? 146 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: I do. Do you think they'll beat New England? I do. 147 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: That's gonna be a great game. Like I looked at 148 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: I looked at the bracket, and I said, gosh, thank 149 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: goodness Buffalo One, because the AFC would have been Jacksonville. 150 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: It would have been excuse me, it would have been 151 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: Houston at Denver and Jacksonville at New England, that kind 152 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: of would have been like, all right, whatever, this kind 153 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: of whatever story. But when the Bills win and then 154 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: they go to Denver, that's a story. Yep. And now 155 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: I have Houston going to New England and these two 156 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: relatively young franchises for the core that they have reaching 157 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: this level makes it a really really good game on Sunday. 158 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 4: Isn't there a tangential thing to the Domico Ryans thing. 159 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys saw I think it 160 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 4: was Peter Schreger had tweeted out last night. How amazing 161 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 4: is it that a defensive coordinator for the Texans, Matt Burke, 162 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 4: hasn't been mentioned in this hiring cycle as much? Yeah, 163 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 4: I want to say that because isn't the perception at 164 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 4: least that Demico Ryans is in charge of it prioritizes 165 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: the defense, and it probably takes away from the zest 166 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 4: of Matt Burke? 167 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: Is that is that factor in one hundred percent? 168 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: He's a defensive guy and he came in and Dimico 169 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: was calling right at the beginning of his tenure, and 170 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: we talked about, like Mike Tomlin in that situation right, 171 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: like it's still his game. It feels like Demico has 172 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: his imprints, but he allows what's the guy's name against Burke. 173 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 4: That's my point. 174 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: I know, right to run this sholt aiden dirty. The 175 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: Seahawks defensive coordinator is getting interviews. But it's Mike McDonald's 176 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: defense in Seattle. So it's interesting that Burke isn't ah 177 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: got to But this is this is happening, Monci. You're 178 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: up at the plate. What sticks up for you from 179 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: the NFL over these last three days? 180 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 5: You know, this kind of bounces off a little bit 181 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: of what Jason brought up with brock Purty, mister I 182 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 5: relevant and what's happening with him to a year later, 183 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 5: the number one overall pick Bryce Young after the performance 184 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 5: against the Rams were like a good team. Bryce Young 185 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 5: has been good. I know they extended his fifth year 186 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 5: option today or they picked up his fifth year option, 187 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 5: but like, what do you do? The fact that he 188 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 5: played well against the Rams, I feel like complicates the 189 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 5: situation for Carolina, and so I don't know what they're 190 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 5: gonna do. Even though he I'm a big fan of 191 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 5: Bryce Young. 192 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: We talked our. 193 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 5: Brother little brothers where I call him here our little brother. 194 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 5: I feel like every year he's gotten better and better. 195 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 5: And in that Rams game, they were in it. They 196 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 5: were in it until the end. Now, if he would 197 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 5: have caught that ball at the end where they had 198 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 5: enough time to maybe get a field goal, I don't know. 199 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 5: But he did his job. And it seems like the 200 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 5: Panthers are in a really awkward position right now where 201 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 5: it's like what do you do? Dan and I have 202 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 5: sat there and talked about like I would give him 203 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 5: a promise ring. But I feel like now it's even 204 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 5: a little bit more complicated because they were in it 205 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 5: against the Rams once again in the playoffs where everyone 206 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 5: steps their game up. He didn't, you know what I mean. 207 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 5: He didn't cause them to lose. He helped them get 208 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 5: down when they needed to downfield. So it's just like, 209 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 5: I don't from mister irrelevant to the number one pick, like, 210 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 5: how do you handle this going on that way? 211 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 6: Yeah? 212 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: I think I think them picking up the option is 213 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: reflective of what happened on Saturday. Is they they believe 214 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: in him. If they didn't believe in him enough but 215 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: still wanted to keep him, wrong with the promise ring, 216 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: they could have negotiated a two year deal where he 217 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: wouldn't make the twenty six and a half million dollars 218 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: that was due in the fifth year option. So they 219 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: at least have enough confidence to pay him twenty six 220 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: and a half million dollars. But Tamasi's question, Now, you've 221 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: got two years and really you've got one year to 222 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: determine if he is your guy or for the future 223 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: on a long term deal. Is he even going to 224 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: be good enough to be the franchise? Like, would you 225 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 2: franchise take him? If you don't, if you're if the 226 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: jury is still out after a year, this is a 227 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: good step for Bryce Young, But yeah, the jury is 228 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: still out. 229 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been it's been an incremental growth. Yes, process 230 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 3: that's happened with Bryce Young, and we talked about it. Steady, steady, 231 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 3: Eddie doesn't win the race, especially when they're in the Vision, 232 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: like the Carolina Panthers. 233 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: They wanted the vision at eight nine, right by default. 234 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: By default, right, So he has played well in spots, 235 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,359 Speaker 3: but not well enough, and so you get an opportunity 236 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: in the playoffs where these games start to count and 237 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 3: he shows his butt off, He shows that I can't 238 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: get the job done. This next year for Carolina is 239 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: going to be so much pressure on everybody involved, and 240 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: that's him included. 241 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: There's also the fact of, like a guy like Anthony 242 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: Richardson isn't going to have his option ticked up, right, Yeah, 243 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 2: so so like the culture like, all right, well, we 244 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: don't think he's probably going to be our guy in 245 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 2: the future anymore. We can live with that. But if 246 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: something we're crazy to happen, they're willing to live with 247 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: with that decision. The Panthers were not willing to do 248 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: that with Bryce Young that they believed in him enough 249 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: to pick up the option. So now it bides them time. 250 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: But I don't think Zamanti's point anybody is sold yet 251 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: that this is that this is the guy. They did 252 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 2: it pretty quickly. I mean, because you haven't till may 253 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: you know, so like I'm going to do it three. 254 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: That shows at least confidence in your quarterback. 255 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, Ryan Smith, for a limited time only, I'm gonna 256 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 7: be the biggest Seahawks fan you. 257 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: Have ever seen. Ran don't do that. 258 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 7: I am sick and tired of rock party. He's just 259 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 7: a guy. When everything's going right, he plays fine. Mac 260 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 7: Jones proved that. I mean when but you know, if 261 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 7: something goes wrong, he falls apart. Remember two years ago, 262 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 7: I think it was when the Ravens destroyed him. The 263 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 7: Seahawks have already destroyed him. Like I said, if something 264 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 7: goes wrong, he just you see why he was picked last. Overall, 265 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 7: one more thing, one more thing. This is just drives 266 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 7: me up the wall. A Seahawks fan actually told me this. 267 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 7: He literally told me that he believes that Rock Party 268 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 7: is better than Prime Russell Wilson. I almost like jumped 269 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 7: out of a window. I was like, what are you 270 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 7: talking about? That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Okay, 271 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 7: I feel better now, all right, all right, I do 272 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 7: think that Prime Russell Wilson. 273 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: It was a short period of time, but was was 274 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: really good. I just think they're different there. They're they're 275 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: smaller quarterbacks that are that that are able to move. 276 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 2: They both have some moxie to them. But Russ did 277 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: play at a really high level at at one point. 278 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: I think Party's got still has to get there. Not 279 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: that Party hasn't played to that level, but Russ was 280 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: on a really really high level for about the years. 281 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: Quick question for Dan and Ryan if Purdy was on 282 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 3: those leadsing of boom teams in Seattle. 283 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 2: Do they No, No, you don't think so? No, I 284 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: I do, right, you don't think that? No? No? Okay, 285 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: all right, yes I did. I do. I don't think 286 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: it's any guarantee that the Seahawks win this weekend. I 287 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 2: do find it interesting, though, not to make this an 288 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: all of San Francisco thing, but do you guys pay 289 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: any mind to when we talk about playoff schedule because 290 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 2: they're the forty nine ers and Kyle Shanahan, you know, 291 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: up in arms that they had to play Sunday in 292 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: Philadelphia and now they got to go play Saturday in Seattle, 293 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 2: and the Seahawks having two weeks off because of the bye. 294 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: I just I feel like this is much ado about nothing, 295 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: and people are saying, oh, the Rams and Bears played 296 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: on on Saturday, so they should they should have played 297 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: on Sunday, or they should also play on Saturday and 298 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: give the forty nine ers an extra day of rest. 299 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: Maybe that's why the forty nine ers are a six seed, right, 300 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: Like there's there's a portion to that, like they it 301 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: shouldn't be every single advantage and by the way, the 302 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: Seahawks buy could end up working against them. It could 303 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: be a Russ situation where the forty nine ers at 304 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: least now have a rhythm because their season has continued. 305 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 2: There's there's that portion of it. I just feel like 306 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: when we talked about how the playoff schedule is, and boy, 307 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 2: they really made a big deal about it, about putting 308 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: the times at the end of the game last night. Yeah, 309 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: because each network wanted their own thing. To me, it's 310 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: kind of ridiculous and absurd. But I just feel that 311 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: they're making more of a bigger deal out of it 312 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: for San Francisco than maybe it should be. I mean, 313 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: it's a playoff game. 314 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 4: I think Tony Dungee was the one who had an 315 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 4: issue with that. Former head coach says it's unfair, and 316 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: it's like there should be a punitive aspect to it. 317 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 4: If you do enter the playoffs as a succeed you 318 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 4: shouldn't get any help. And it's kind of like saying, yeah, 319 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 4: the food in prison is awful. It's like, yeah, how 320 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 4: about to stay out of prison, make better choices. 321 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: You don't want the prison, PBDA, you don't want that. 322 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: Do you want that stuff? I think it's not peanut butter. 323 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: The thing about the Niners and Seahawks as well. Is 324 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: in the Week seventeen matchups that they had, Seattle was 325 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: in Carolina, the forty nine Ers were home on Sunday 326 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: night to the Bears. The NFL said, oh, for the 327 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: division and the number one seed, you're gonna play on 328 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: Saturday nights, right, And so the forty nine Ers were 329 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: kind of like, we just played on Sunday night, Now 330 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: we got to play on Saturday night. The Seahawks were 331 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: in Charlotte, had to fly across the entire country and 332 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: then get ready for a road game and take so 333 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: like so they haven't been treated necessarily as fair. And 334 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: I actually think the Seahawks got more of the short 335 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: end of the stick in Week eighteen because of their 336 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: travel than they had to travel again to San Francisco 337 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: with a day less than they would have prepared. But 338 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 2: it wasn't a huge deal. Nobody made a big deal 339 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: about it. But I feel that we are making a 340 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: big deal out of the forty nine ers having to 341 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: have the short weekend without George Kittle stinks. But does 342 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: anybody think that the forty nine ers aren't going to 343 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: compete and play well in that game? Like just their 344 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: division rivals. It shouldn't matter. 345 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 3: It's must do about Nutt and Den at this point, 346 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: whatever the cards have been dealt to, you have to 347 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: you got you have to play the game, and you 348 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: have to play that game at at a fever pitch, 349 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: regardless of whoever it is. And so for the forty 350 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 3: nine ers, obviously they've been injured and they would like 351 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 3: to be a little bit more healthy. But again, don't 352 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,479 Speaker 3: be a six seeds. 353 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: I'm Dan Bayer. He's Ryan Smith, that's Jason Stewart and 354 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: Monty Belano's. 355 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in 356 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: the nation.

There were some news 365 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: yesterday that came up that was not football related. So 366 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: in the overall sports world carry it kind of got 367 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: kind of got buried because of everything that's happening with 368 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: the NFL playoffs today we have the Mike Tomlin stepping 369 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: down after nineteen seasons. Montell have a few more details 370 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 2: on that, as Tomlin did release his a statement about it, 371 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: But there was a story in golf that was a 372 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: big deal as Brooks Koepka in the p PGA Tour 373 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: announcing that Kepka is going to be back on tour 374 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: as he left Live Golf with a year remaining on 375 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: his contract and is worked out a deal with the 376 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: PGA Tour that will allow him to return to action, 377 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: but not without some consequences. The inability to take part 378 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 2: in getting future moneies that could be anywhere up to 379 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 2: fifty to eighty million dollars from the PGA Tour as 380 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 2: part of a revenue sharing deal. Kepka would not be 381 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: able to be a part of that. There's other a 382 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: donation of five million dollars to a charity so bright. 383 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: Brooks Kopka has basically paid a price to get back 384 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: to the PGA Tour, and when Live Golf started, the 385 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: PGA Tour said if you leave, you're done. This is it. 386 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: It's silver with you can't come back, there's no way back. 387 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 2: You're not going to play on the PGA Tour, You're 388 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: not going to be able to play on the Champions Tour. 389 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: In words that were under said, you were kind of 390 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: going to be exiled from golf outside of the majors 391 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: and maybe a Ryder Cup or a President's Cup or 392 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 2: a Ryder Cup that should say in extreme circumstances. The 393 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 2: whole reason that this is I think an interesting topic 394 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 2: is because Koepka got out of his live contract with 395 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: a year left to go, and not only do the 396 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: PGA Tour allow him to come back under those stipulations, 397 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 2: they've also allowed the top players that live golf, the 398 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: stars that also left the PGA Tour, specifically Bryson de Shambeau, 399 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 2: John Rahm, and Cam Smith, a window that would allow 400 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: them to return if they were to accept the same 401 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: penalties that Brooks Keepka got. Now it's not for everyone. 402 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 2: People have pointed out that it's not for Phil Mickelson 403 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: because this open window with some of these criteria ends 404 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 2: with winning a major championship. All the way back to 405 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, Phil Mickelson won his in twenty twenty one. 406 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: I don't think Phil Mickelson has any interest in playing 407 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 2: the PGA Tour, but the PGA Tour kind of making 408 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: their on statement. But Brooks kept goes back and all 409 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 2: these other lift golf players have a have a way 410 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: to come back. That's where the question lies is if 411 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: you say you're going to go, and you go, should 412 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 2: you be allowed back? And it's I don't even think 413 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: it even for teens into golf. I think that there's 414 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 2: there's a there's a world in a lot of different 415 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: places like this, Carrie. But your thoughts on if you go, 416 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 2: you go, and you're gone, and then now being able 417 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: to come back and play, yeah, now I think you 418 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: should be able to come back. 419 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we make choices, and we make choices 420 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: for our family and and there's different reasons though choices 421 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 3: are being made. It's just not an indictment on the 422 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 3: PGA Tour or the NBA or the NFL, whatever the 423 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 3: sport or where whatever we're trying to bring to the 424 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 3: forefront here. There could be multiple reasons of why those 425 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 3: things were happening. And so obviously in the live situation 426 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 3: and the PGA Tour the money they were thrown around 427 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: and live was just almost it was it was too 428 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 3: it was too much to turn down. And so when 429 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 3: you think of it that way, obviously the PGA Tour 430 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 3: can have their their stances and say these things are 431 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: if this happens, the opposite's going to happen for you 432 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 3: can't come back. But we all changed as well, and 433 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 3: the PGA game has taken that hit, and you want 434 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 3: to bring those guys back. 435 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: I could see a world where that happens, for sure. 436 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: There's so much that has changed. Yeah, and I think 437 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: that it's actually changed when it's all said and done. 438 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: And I don't know how long Live Golf is going 439 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: to last. I've never been a fan of at all 440 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: of it. I have consumed some of the product by 441 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: watching it. It is on Fox Sports, it is on 442 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports one. I just didn't I like the PGA 443 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: Tour as it was. I liked the golf portion of 444 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: it as a golf fan, and it it wrecked that 445 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: ecosystem and golf hasn't been the same, and they haven't 446 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 2: been good apart. It really hasn't. Yeah. And then when 447 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: John Rahm ends up leaving the tour, a couple of 448 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 2: years ago and he goes to Live and his game 449 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 2: completely falls apart. You're like, what are we doing here? 450 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: How is this? How is this good? And I think 451 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 2: that Phil Mickelson was the one who ended up spearheading 452 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: all of these changes, and I think ultimately look back 453 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 2: and say, well, Phil Michelson was kind of right in 454 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 2: all of this that the PGA Tour ended up making 455 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 2: changes and things that are better for their players than 456 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 2: they were before Live came along. So ultimately, the threat 457 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 2: of Live and the presence of Live helped allow PGA 458 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 2: Tour players a better opportunity and more opportunity to financially 459 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: thrive because of that. But that doesn't get back from 460 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: the point of if you say you're gone, you're gone. 461 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: And there's different leadership now in the PGA Tour with 462 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 2: CEO Brian Rolapp coming over from the NFL. He's the 463 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 2: one that released the statement, and these players have a 464 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: certain window to do. But it doesn't seem like the 465 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: PGA Tour and Live are ever going to be able 466 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: to coexist with each other and form a formation. And honestly, 467 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 2: the PGA Tour with some of the changes that they've 468 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: made and what's going on he started to thrive again. 469 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 2: So that's even another shot to live golf, and this 470 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: little window will open up things for a like Cam 471 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: Smith or John Robb to come back. But I don't 472 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: think it's just golf, because if you look in the 473 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: transfer portal in college football, there's a lot there, Carrie. 474 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: There's thousands of names of the transfer portal. In fact, 475 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: on the Pivot podcast, this is what Texas head football 476 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: coach Steve Sarkisian said a couple of years ago about 477 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 2: how they handle transfers and transfer portals in Austin. 478 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 6: The moment you go in the transfer portal at the 479 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 6: University of Texas, you're no longer coming back, which I 480 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 6: think a lot of schools do kids go and test 481 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 6: the waters and try to come back. I'm not playing 482 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 6: that game. If you want to go in the portal, 483 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 6: go in the portal. 484 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 2: Good luck to you. 485 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 6: Now we have real candid conversations before that. 486 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's a lie. Ye. There was a player 487 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: that entered the portal this year and went back to Texas, right, 488 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: So that's two years ago. That's Steve Sarkisian taking this stance. 489 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 2: We're not gonna do it anymore. And now in January 490 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty six and the new two week transfer 491 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 2: portal window that we have from January second until this Friday, 492 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: there have been players who will put their names in 493 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 2: the portal and now are going back to schools. And 494 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: it happened at Texas. Yes, so Steve Sarkisian can even 495 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 2: change his tune. 496 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's easy to get out in front of 497 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: something and say something with with Victor like I'm gonna 498 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: do this and I'm gonna have a stance on something, 499 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 3: and that's great. But times change, and when you see 500 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: that you don't have the stranglehold on your employees, on 501 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: your student athletes the way you think you do these 502 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 3: times have change, and it's back to your point, Dan, 503 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 3: Times have change, and so having a hard stance on 504 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 3: something when people evolve and things evolve, it's just hard 505 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: to do. You have to be open to change all 506 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 3: the time. And so if you're going to be successful 507 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 3: in anything in life at this point, if you're not 508 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 3: somebody that has that change gene, if your hard core 509 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 3: stuck on something that's been successful ninety years ago, you're 510 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 3: probably not going to be successful. 511 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: Jason Stewart, our executive producer. What do you think about 512 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 2: the and can't come back scenario? 513 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 4: I think about for those old enough to remember the 514 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 4: eighty seven NFL season, the NFL went on strike, the 515 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 4: players went on strike, and for three weeks the teams 516 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 4: actually fielded scab players. There were just complete people off. 517 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 4: I went, I remember an incredible time in sports history, 518 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 4: and the NFL players Union isn't that strong. They actually 519 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 4: allowed the scabs to come back and play and contribute 520 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 4: to future seasons on future teams. And I remember thinking 521 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: back like, that's kind of weak. If you chose to 522 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 4: cross that picket line, that's your choice for three weeks, 523 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 4: But the NFL welcomed them back. And then you fast 524 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 4: forward to ninety four, the Baseball Union won on strike 525 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 4: and those players who crossed the line were treated much 526 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 4: more in a draconian way. I want to say Kevin 527 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 4: Mallar might be the most notable, and that they were 528 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 4: ostracized completely, and not just from the player union fees. 529 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,239 Speaker 4: They were like punched in the face players and they 530 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 4: were you know, scolded and talked down to. So it 531 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 4: all relates to this, is that I'm kind of disappointed 532 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 4: that the PGA is even letting him back at all. 533 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 4: I would have loved to have been like, yeah, you chose, 534 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 4: you made your choice, and we're good, because I think 535 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 4: he needs the PGA more than PGA needs him. 536 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 2: No, I think you're one hundred percent correct, and I 537 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: actually think that the PGA Tour is fine you do. 538 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 2: I don't think that they need Like I think that 539 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: the biggest star in golf is Rory McElroy, and Bryson 540 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: to Shambo is probably second now to Shambo's there with 541 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: live and being on live and not connected to the 542 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,239 Speaker 2: PGA Tour has allowed Bryson to Shambo to open up 543 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 2: a whole new world on YouTube and to bring in 544 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: tons and tons of new fans, and he's really thrived 545 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 2: in that. But I think it's with all the players. 546 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: I think they all actually need the PGA Tour more 547 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 2: than the PGA Tour needs them. And it's almost like 548 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: an olive branch. But it's also a way of sticking 549 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 2: a knife to live to be like, Okay, not only that, 550 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 2: not only we're gonna take Brooks Koepka, who, by the way, 551 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: is a couple of years removed from winning a major. 552 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 2: But it's no guarantee that Brooks is gonna win again, 553 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: or someone like a Ram or a cam Smith you 554 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 2: could see multiple majors maybe in their future, and or 555 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: even Bryson for that matter of him continuing to run. 556 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 2: These are top, top players, and I think it's an 557 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 2: optic sort of thing to kind of, you know, stick 558 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 2: the knife in the back of Live for one last time. 559 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: But you're exactly right that the PGA Tour realistically doesn't 560 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 2: need John rom Brooks, Koepka or Bryson to Shamburg camp 561 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: Smith right now because the way that things have been trending, 562 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: it'd be better with them, but they don't need them 563 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 2: right now. But that's the caveat though. 564 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 3: So when you go back to the scabs in the 565 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 3: NFL or you talk about Major League Baseball, there are 566 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 3: no other competing entities against those. 567 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: With the PJA. 568 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 3: With the PGA Tour, Live Well's competing and they were 569 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: taken from their product. So if you're trying to compete 570 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: with that and you want to bring and elevate the 571 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 3: PGA Tour back above it, which obviously it's still probably is, 572 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: but there's real competition in there, and they were actually 573 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: coming in posting your players and taking away so there 574 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 3: is a little bit of difference there because if you 575 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 3: think about, like Michael Jordan leaving the game to go 576 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 3: play baseball, did the NBA hurt when he left? Yes, 577 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 3: so him coming back and calls him back over and 578 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 3: after leaving, that would not have stood well for the NBA. 579 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 2: I think it's interesting just to see on what these 580 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: other players are going to end up deciding, because I 581 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 2: think it's also by the way, for those that don't 582 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 2: know about golf, a world sort of tour has been 583 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 2: floated about for decades. Greg Norman tried to do it 584 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: in his his days as world number one golfer. There 585 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: are players from Australia that have appreciated live golf and 586 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 2: live golf. I actually think worked in Australia at the 587 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 2: stops that they've done. They've had a lot of Australians 588 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 2: on the on their rosters, so it worked down there. 589 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: But I think if they were to get a couple 590 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: of the big names back that it would just put 591 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: the end to there ever being a threat of another tour, yes, 592 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: that that it just it cannot happen in and that 593 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: this wave has been ridden, which will end something that 594 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: he's always hovered around golf for a long time and 595 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 2: people have talked about a world Tour. I just don't 596 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 2: think that it's necessarily feasible, and I think that if 597 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: the PGA Tour is allowed to bring these guys back, 598 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 2: it will totally end that talk, just the question of 599 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: there are players on tour. And this is the other 600 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: caveat with the Brooks Keepka thing is if Brooks is 601 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: playing in events like he's going to be playing at 602 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 2: Tory Pines in a couple of weeks, they're just going 603 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: to add him to the field. He's not going to 604 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: take up a spot that was would have been taken 605 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 2: by someone else. So instead of one hundred and forty 606 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: four players in, there'll be one hundred and forty five, 607 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: or if there's one hundred and twenty players in the event, 608 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: he will be player one twenty one. Correct. Correct. And 609 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: that was actually a big deal amongst the PGA Tour 610 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: players and the membership to make sure that he wasn't 611 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: taking someone else's spot in doing it. So they've allowed 612 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: that caveat to win. But it's also a way of 613 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: kind of killing live golf. But in the Transfer portal 614 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: with Derek Williams, it was the Derek Williams Junior was 615 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: the defensive back from Tech who announced on December eleventh 616 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: that Hey, I'm heading to the portal, see you later. 617 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 2: I'm done, and Sarkisian has welcomed him back this year, 618 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: two years after telling Ryan Clark and Fred Taylor and 619 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 2: Channing Crowder that that, uh, don't come back. It's over 620 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 2: with you. 621 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: You get them a cool cop, you can get them 622 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 3: on a cool podcast and'll start talking reckless. 623 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: Right, it happens. It's happened before. Manti Belanios is here 624 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: with us at the news desk. 625 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 5: Baseball guys, Kaufman Stadium is going to get a facelift. 626 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 5: They are going to lower the height. They're going to 627 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 5: bring in the fences, okay, in hopes of making it 628 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 5: a more hitter friendly ballpark. They're because their ballpark is 629 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 5: the hardest one when it comes to home runs. It's 630 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 5: the dimensions of it. They're trying to make it more 631 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 5: like the rest, more neutral. The Royals, the Royals, I apologize, 632 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 5: My bad, My bad, The Kansas City Royals, Kaufman, I apologize. 633 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 5: So they're trying. They're they're saying it's not for more offense, 634 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 5: but it really is. That's that's the cool of it. 635 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's interesting too the Chiefs with their stadium. I 636 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: know there's questions about the Royals in their future, and 637 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: there were some downtown stadium conversations, but that's with the waterfalls. 638 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 2: That stadium is. When you talk to people with the 639 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: baseball trips that go in park to park, they'll always go, oh, 640 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: I gotta go to Pittsburgh. I gotta go to San 641 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 2: Francisco see what that's like. And I think Third is like, 642 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 2: I want to go to Kansas City and see the 643 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 2: water falls. 644 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think it isn't the sixth oldest stadium, 645 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 5: it's well the sixth oldest. 646 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of new ones.

Jason Stewart is here. 651 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: Have you ever been to Kaufin Stadium? Jason? And now 652 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: you're I don't think you've done a b You haven't 653 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: done a baseball stadium tour, have you. 654 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 4: I've never known a tour and I've surprisingly haven't been 655 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 4: to a ton of stadiums. I do need to do 656 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 4: that before I leave this earth. But Kaufman is one 657 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 4: of the ones that I have gone to.

He's carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer, hanging 675 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: out with Jason Stewart, Ryan Smith, and Montsi Belos as 676 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 2: well on a Tuesday, Mike Tomlin done after nineteen years, 677 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 2: stepping down today as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, informing 678 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 2: the team that he has done less than twenty four 679 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: hours after losing to the Houston Texans thirty to six. 680 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: It wasn't that close. I mean it was. It was 681 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: a lot closer than the score indicates, but then in 682 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 2: the end it really wasn't Steeler. The Steelers were down 683 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 2: seven to six entering the fourth quarter to defensive touchdowns. 684 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers last pass ends up being a pick six, 685 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: kind of like Tom Brady uh with the with the Patriots. Yeah, 686 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: ending ending his career that way. But it's a tough 687 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 2: way to go out. And you know, Rogers was even 688 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: asked about it and said like, why don't you know 689 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: why did Mason Rudolph replace you? And he's like, yeah, great, 690 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: great comment and just a matter of factly. But then 691 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: there's the question of now where we see Rogers again? 692 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 2: And it's something that you didn't think and now with 693 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 2: this toml news, it sure really seems unlikely. 694 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is the last rodeo for from 695 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 3: my pal Aaron Rodgers. This is this is, this is it, 696 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 3: and it's a. It's a sucky image to see too, 697 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: because he looked like a battered, battered old man in 698 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 3: those last couple of couple of games, and especially down 699 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 3: the stretch of that game. 700 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: He is carry roads. Find him on exit carry twenty 701 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 2: five roads. You could find me at Dan Byron Fox. 702 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 2: Jason Stewart is our executive producer. I know you're gonna 703 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 2: miss Mike Tomlin a little bit if he makes the 704 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 2: transition to TV. What some people think, I think there 705 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: are a variety of places. Studios seems to be the 706 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 2: best for Mike Tomlin. But Mike Tomlin will be missed 707 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: in a variety of ways. 708 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 4: And I will say this, people that you think are 709 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 4: gonna be great TV usually end up not being good 710 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 4: on TV. And then a guy like Bill Belichick, who 711 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 4: I thought would be the total dud, and he surprised me. 712 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 4: So you never quite know how that translate from being 713 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 4: a great quote to doing great TV. But Tomlin's been 714 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 4: a gym. 715 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 2: He absolutely has been a gem. And Belichick, by the way, 716 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 2: was nominated, I think for an Emmy for his work 717 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 2: with the NFL one hundred stuff that he had done 718 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 2: in years past when the NFL was celebrating the one 719 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 2: hundred years he was on those NFL Network programs, and 720 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 2: I think he was nominated for an Emmy. It was 721 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 2: last week that the Buffalo Bills said Goodbye to Highmark Stadium, 722 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 2: and it was done in a FA where there was 723 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 2: lasting images of the bill saying goodbye to Heimark Stadium 724 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 2: with the Goo Goo Dolls Iris playing over highlights. We 725 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,760 Speaker 2: brought back some of the sound. Manzi was actually crying 726 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 2: during the episode that we were talking about because the 727 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 2: Goo Goo Dolls song ended up making her cry. I said, 728 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: a spy, yeah it does. And with old nineteen seventy 729 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty Bills highlights, it was something else, and I said, 730 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 2: it's either the Green Day you know, time of your 731 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 2: life song or the Goo Goo Dolls Iris song that 732 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 2: you battle with. What is great? Manzi says, what about 733 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 2: Sarah McLaughlin. She's right, she is absolutely right. So we 734 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 2: say goodbye to Mike Tomlin's nineteen year, ten year in 735 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 2: the only way we know how. 736 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: We do not care. 737 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 8: We're still still squirreling those nuts. 738 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 9: Don't play, I play, you don't do play. Let's go 739 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 9: John Ronay, Hey like I cut your eye lids off? 740 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 9: I don't send messages. I just make moves. 741 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 8: He's the same when everybody else gets funny, you know 742 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 8: what I mean, everybody else gets a little tight. He's 743 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 8: the same guy. 744 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 2: Bake that kick, season's over comes to a screech and 745 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 2: halted this and that kick and the winter going on. 746 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,919 Speaker 8: You know it is if my aunt had mail parts, 747 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 8: she'd be my uncle. All right, all right, hey guys, 748 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 8: I don't have time for that speculation. I mean, that's 749 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 8: a joke to me. I got one of the best 750 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 8: jobs in all of professional sport. Why would I have 751 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 8: any interest in coaching college football. That'll be the last 752 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 8: time that I address it, and not only today, but 753 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 8: moving forward. Never say never, but never anybody else got 754 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 8: any questions about any college jobs. It's not a booster 755 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 8: with a big enough blank check. 756 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 2: Thank you. 757 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 8: Anybody asking Sean Payton about that? You know, anybody asking 758 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 8: Andy Reid about stuff like that? 759 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 2: Oh, Mike Tomlin. 760 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 3: Dan, we don't blink, and he does not blink.

I 763 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 2: do not believe in hypotheticals. But his newer version was 764 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 2: if my aunt had you know, yeah, that was his 765 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 2: way of doing it.
