Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It's that time

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: of week. My name is Bernie Fraddlewer, come to you

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be. I've been in this

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: slot almost six years and you've heard me say a

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: thousand times Sports is the greatest reality show ever, and

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: you can script everything, but the ending. What happened tonight

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: in Dallas, I believe warrants an investigation given the level

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: of incompetence we saw. It's one thing where the Lions

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: are the recipient of a questionable pass interference call in

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: a playoff game back in twenty fifteen, which I dismissed

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: because Matt Stafford turned the ball over twice egregiously, which

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: wiped that complaint out, but regardless, it was a questionable call.

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: It's one thing when Don Denkings you're in the nineteen

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: eighty five World Series between the Royals and the Cardinals,

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: so badly misses a call at first base that it's

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: literally talked about for decades, and it's one thing in

22
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: twenty ten when Jim Joyce gets the wrong call at

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: first base, costing Armando Galarraga a no hitter. Those were

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: judgment calls. Tonight, Saturday Night in Dallas was procedural. In

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes, one of my old buddies, my cronies

26
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: from ninety seven to one FM WXYT Detroit, will join us.

27
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 2: Dan Leach, We've got a lot to talk about tonight.

28
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: You're going to get the Detroit perspective from Belly the Beast.

29
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: So let's set this up ever so quickly, because it's

30
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: the story has gotten lost. The Lions were trailing twenty

31
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: to thirteen with a minute eighteen to go in the game.

32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: They took over the ball in their own twenty five.

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 2: I'm told that Dan Campbell told the team we're gonna

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: go down, We're gonna score, and we are gonna go

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: for two. Jared Goff leads the team seventy five yards,

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: throws a eleven yard touchdown pass to a Monroe Saint Brown,

37
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: and true to form, they went for two. Jared Goff

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: completes a pass to Taylor Decker, who's an offensive lineman,

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: and this is where the fun begins. The Lions were

40
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: flagged for quote illegal touching. It was ruled that Decker

41
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: failed to report as an eligible receiver before the play,

42
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: so the points were taken off the scoreboard. Round two,

43
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: Detroit goes for two again. Cowboys linebacker Michael Parsons draws

44
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: an off sidees penalty that erased an interception. My mind,

45
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: you that was from the seven yard line. They didn't

46
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: put the ball back on the two. It's half to

47
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: the distance to the goal. They put it on the

48
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: three and a half yard line. Round three, the third

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: two point attempt failed as Goff's pass to James Mitchell

50
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: fell in complete. Love those analytics, man, I love Dan Campbell. Okay,

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: but you know, back to the old Brandons Daly when

52
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: analytics tell you if you do this you got eighty

53
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: percent chance to win, you got one hundred percent chance

54
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: you'renna lose. I'm so sick of these analytics idiots. But

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: bottom line is, I'm not second guessing Dan Campbell. It's

56
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: not about analytics with him. It's about the culture he

57
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: set and the belief in his team after the game,

58
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: he was visibly upset, and he should have been. We

59
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: wanted to know what happened, he said. The officials told him.

60
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: The reason that Decker was ineligible on the successful two

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: point conversion that ended up being nullfied by a penalty

62
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: is quote two players can't report as eligible. This is

63
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: where the incompetence begins. According to NFL Rule five, Section three,

64
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: Article one, there is no limit to the number of

65
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: players who can report as eligible on a given play.

66
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: So when asked when Brad Allen was asked why the

67
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: illegal touching penalty was called in the first try, he

68
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: said Decker didn't report to him. Here's Brad Allen's quote

69
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: on this particular play. Number seventy Dan Skipper, who had

70
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: reported during the game a couple of times, reported to

71
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: me as eligible. Then he lined up with the tackle position,

72
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 2: so actually he didn't have to report at all. Number

73
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: sixty eight Taylor Decker, who ended up going downfield and

74
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: touching the past, did not report. This is Brad Allen's

75
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: quote after the game. So therefore he is an ineligible

76
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: touching the pass that goes beyond the line of scrimmage,

77
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: which makes it a file. The issue is number seventy

78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: did report, number sixty eight did not. That is a

79
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: quote from Brad Allen. Allan also addressed the second flag

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: thrown on the play quote because number seventy reported as

81
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: eligible and he was covered up on the line of scrimmage,

82
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: that makes it an illegal formation. So number seventy is

83
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: in an illegal position because he has covered up by

84
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: rule in number sixty eight catches the pass, which is

85
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: also illegal. Again. After Detroit's third two point try came

86
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: up short, Ceedee Lamb sealed the win by recovering the

87
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: on sidekick game set match. It shouted a historic performance

88
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: for Ceedee Lamb, and we'll get to that later. What

89
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: are the players saying? Okay, this is going to sting

90
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: for a while. The Lions had a chance to win

91
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: this game, put themselves in prime position to be the

92
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: number two seed. And had they won out beat in

93
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: Minnesota next week and the Niners lose one of their

94
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: final two games, guess what the Lions would have been

95
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: the number one seed. Yap, you heard that right, But

96
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: I know that that's a conversation also for another day.

97
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: This was the Lions game. Campbell was visibly frustrated by that,

98
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: and you know, a lot of conversation went into this game.

99
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm s so sick of people saying, Samuel Lions, I

100
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: covered this team for a long time. I get it.

101
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: The culture is totally different, totally before the season, well

102
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: I gotta see, well, you know, they never won anything.

103
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. Now they're

104
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: gonna win eleven twelve games. And I was, well, okay,

105
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: I gotta win a playoff. Then they'll win a playoff,

106
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: and someone will say, oh, I gotta win two playoffs.

107
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: If you wanted to see how the Lions stacked up

108
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: on the road against one of the NFC's better teams,

109
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: turns out pretty well. Despite the loss. They held the

110
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: Cowboys below their home scoring average by nearly twenty points.

111
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: They took the Cowboys down to the wire in Dallas,

112
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: where the Cowboys had won fifteen in a row. There

113
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: are no moral victories, there are no good losses. It's

114
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 2: like a good kidney stone. But if you were looking

115
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: to see the Lions play on the level of an

116
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: NFC contender, or if you were lying in wait to

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: see them stink it up, and then you get on

118
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: the air, this week and say, see, I told you,

119
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: like the guy who said it's gonna rain to borrow,

120
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: it's gonna rain to borrow. Finally, after seven hundred and

121
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: twelve days, it rains. See, I told you the Lion's

122
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: hung with the cowboys. They outplayed the cowboys, and not

123
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: for nothing. You've heard me bag on Mike McCarthy. He

124
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: did it again. When it comes to clock management at

125
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: the end of the game. This guy's like the guy

126
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: who's wandering them all parking lot, wondering where to hell

127
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: I park my car. That's why I used to call

128
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: him Barney Rubble. I finally let him off the hook.

129
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: He's not Barney Rubble again. Passes three times in a row. Yes,

130
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: Detroit did use both of their timeouts, but proper clock management,

131
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: the Lions might have only had thirty seconds to go

132
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: seventy five yards instead of a minute. In eighteen and

133
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: Jared Goff haters, get over yourself, check yourself before you

134
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: wreck yourself. I get it. You've probably got Jared Goff

135
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: fatigue like I've got Matt Stafford fatigue. I saw too

136
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: many times in Detroit where he did some dumb things

137
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: that cost his team games while also making brilliant throws.

138
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford will probably be in the Hall of Fame.

139
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: He's got the numbers and always got the Super Bowl.

140
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: But I can hold two thoughts concurrently, and you should

141
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: hold two thoughts concurrently on Jared Goff. I don't care

142
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: if you like him. He's getting it done and they

143
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: like him in Detroit. What an amazing turn of events tonight,

144
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: What an amazing story. It overshadows other story. We're gonna

145
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: get to all of it. We've got four hours, trust me,

146
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: But sometimes shows right themselves and coming up. You got

147
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: a special treat because I'm gonna bring you inside the

148
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: belly of the Beast and Detroit, We'll bringing Dan Leach,

149
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: one of my former teammates in ninety seven to one

150
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: the ticket Detroit WXT. Great guy, full of energy, full

151
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: of emotion. Gonna keep him around for two segments because

152
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 2: after the bottom of the hour, we're gonna get to

153
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: the college football Playoff. You've heard me say that, Jim Harbaugh.

154
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: I've said all along, seventy percent chances will be back

155

197
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,320

198
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: plus six. We're gonna say that ye for later, Dan,

199
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: I want to start out at thirty thousand feet. Let's

200
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: tackle the elephant in the room. You remember nine years

201
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: ago the Lions were the recipient of a very questionable

202
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: PI call in Dallas and during a playoff game. I

203
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: know you recall the situation in twenty ten when Andres

204
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: Galarraga threw the no hitter. However, those situations were judgment calls.

205
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: Tonight was procedural. I believe this warrants an investigation. Let's

206
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: start there.

207
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 7: Your thoughts well at Birdie perstuff. It's great to be

208
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 7: with you. One of my all time shaves and listen

209
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 7: tonight it was one of the craziest nights as not

210
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 7: just a broadcaster but a Detroit threw and through heartfelt

211
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 7: Lions long suffering fan. I can never really imagine it.

212
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 7: And just like you said from thirty thousand seen who

213
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 7: just throw it this way for a second take away?

214
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 7: All the stuff, all the nonsets at the end of

215
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 7: the game, everything there's a Lions fans. Can you blame

216
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 7: the officials? All the different stuff? The bottom line is

217
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 7: the Lions needed to find a way not to let

218
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 7: the referees get involved. Same thing out with the mischie Wolverines.

219
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 7: When JP Barrett, I still believe he was short, but

220
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 7: I didn't blame the refs because the Wolverine needed to

221
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 7: win that game. So that's the thing that comes to

222
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 7: me right away. But I have one hundred percent with

223
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 7: you because I am someone that never wants to blame referees.

224
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 7: They have a tough job, they're human make mistakes.

225
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 6: You mentioned Jim Joyce.

226
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 7: Without ors gaw raga, that stupid pedal group PI pick

227
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 7: up call me, but what's going on with conspiracy theories

228
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 7: always happening in Texas? No't just to bring up JFK

229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 7: and all this stuff happens in Texas.

230
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 6: What a wacky state.

231
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 7: But you know, when you look at what happened tonight,

232
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 7: I'm someone like I said, that doesn't want to blame officials.

233
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 7: But when you look at that crew who had that

234
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 7: Kansas City Green Bay game and had that Philadelphia MIAMU

235
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 7: whe they called ten pedalies, I'm Philly or on Miami

236
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 7: and not on Philadelphia. And you have guys like Taylor

237
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 7: Deck or that eminent Leaf Forever captain type guys that are.

238
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 6: Saying they did it.

239
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 7: Do a coach said Dan Campbell said before the game,

240
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 7: he talks to the officials, let's know exactly.

241
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 6: What they're gonna do. And yet if this happens, and.

242
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 7: Yet it's a regular season game, but it doesn't matter

243
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 7: if it was a preseason game or scrimmage. You can't

244
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 7: these guys work their asses off hearing your outlives. Fans

245
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 7: have had a division title of thirty years and you're

246
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 7: gonna give the Lions a job like that and take

247
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 7: something away that, yeah, they could have not gone for

248
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 7: a fourth down as any time they could have not

249
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 7: at Jerikoff interception. They definitely could have won the game

250
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 7: by not making mistakes. But then when they actually win

251
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 7: the game, you take it away for procedural nonsense that

252
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 7: it seems like this officiating crew completely boxed Perni.

253
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: Don't Dad.

254
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 6: In rare time in my life.

255
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say it is the officials fault.

256
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: Well, Dan, you have to here's why, because the explanation

257
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: that Brad Allen gave, he said the reason that Decker

258
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: wasn't eligible on the successful two point conversion is because

259
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: two players can't report as eligible. But according to the

260
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 2: NFL Rule five, Section three, Article one, there is no

261
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: limit to the number of players who can report as eligible.

262
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: That's where the investigation starts.

263
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 6: Dan but Barty and then there's the you know dance.

264
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 7: Skipper is reported at Elgibra a million times this year,

265
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 7: and by the way, it seems like every time he

266
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 7: does the lines of the big play. The fact that

267
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 7: it's what two plus hours now after the game, and

268
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 7: I still see in my heart of hearts, the depths

269
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 7: of my hearts, and I'm sure fans that are don't

270
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 7: give a crap by the lines and line.

271
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 6: You know, longtime fans like me still have no clue.

272
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 7: What happened, because yes, they spoke to the pool reporter,

273
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 7: you mentioned brand Allen's crew, and I mentioned all the

274
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 7: things that they've been associated.

275
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 6: With just this year alone, and yet they're.

276
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 7: Saying, okay, Skipper reported, no, he did it, Decker.

277
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 6: Did he didn't.

278
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 7: Like this is absolute nonsense, where yes, I understand mistakes

279
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 7: can happen, but if they made a mistake, which are

280
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 7: listening to be sure.

281
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 6: Dan own up to it, don't.

282
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 7: They can see like the Lives made a mistake with

283
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 7: Dan Campbell, who would have I love the guy, Yes

284
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 7: he gambles too much sometimes, but he wasn't having any

285
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 7: of it in his press conference. He was pissed off

286
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 7: and he had every right to beat this off because

287
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 7: these guys work their asses off year you know, year round.

288
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 7: We know all long suffering is you know, better than

289
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 7: anybody like I do a long suffering. The fans of

290
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 7: Detroit had been and to have this game statched away

291
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 7: and once again no excuses. The Lives could have won

292
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 7: this thing on their own. But then when they do

293
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 7: with the games, have it snatched away because of this

294
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 7: nonsense seems not just unfair, it seems criminal. And it's

295
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 7: the NFL needs to be better than this. How do

296
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 7: we are we always having these Reugh free controversies. It's

297
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 7: through various teams around the NFL. They need to be

298
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 7: better for an it's just unacceptable.

299
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: Talking with Dan Leach, former teammate ninety seven to one

300
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: FM in Detroit, one of my favorites as well, Dan,

301
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: you brought up a kind of an interesting point, kind

302
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: of buried in the middle there. I've liked Dan Campbell

303
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: since minute one because I suffered, you know, the years

304
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: I covered the Lions. It was Wayne Fonce, Rod Marinelli,

305
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: Marty Morning, Who, Matt Millen, you know, right, Bobby Ross,

306
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: quick take the Verdie, okay, two thousand and two and

307
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: look at you. Yeah, so we're behind all that in

308
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: Michigan got stupidity. We've got a real culture here. But

309
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: I do Dan, You're still there on the belly of

310
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: the beast. I only get into town a couple three

311
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: times a year. Now. I've heard there are there are

312
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: some people that find some of Dan Campbell's risks off putting.

313
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: Can you speak to that?

314
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, Bertie, it's such a great question. It's such an

315
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 7: important one. And I've been in every single home game

316
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 7: this year. I've seen what Dan Campbell has had to

317
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 7: do on the good side of the bad sides, and

318
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 7: I've been thinking about this a lot. Of course, Stilling,

319
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 7: I was gonna come up with you and just think

320
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 7: about the Lions in general and Dan Campbell in general.

321
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 7: It's a double edged sword. And the problem is this

322
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 7: the greatest parts of Dan Campbell the reason this team

323
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 7: after thirty years, finally went to the division, and Brat

324
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 7: Holmes is a big part of that as well as GM.

325
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: But all of the things that.

326
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 7: The measurable success were seeing with the Lions that we

327
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 7: haven't seen forever, or even what you've called long Jim

328
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 7: shorts from succeeds in the playoffs in.

329
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 6: A couple of years. All of the things that have

330
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 6: happened in.

331
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 7: The last thirty years since Barry Standards retired to early

332
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 7: it's because the identity Dan Campbell and to the fall,

333
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 7: you know, to a point, Brad Holmes too, have built

334
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 7: for this franchise and part of that is his. And

335
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 7: even Deak Prescott talked about this. You know, Deack coach

336
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 7: is crazy, but I respect it. It's because of Dan

337
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 7: Campbell's you know what and ability to gamble right, so

338
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 7: he do it too much. Absolutely, should he take the

339
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 7: extra point on the second and third try after the penalty,

340
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 7: almost kind of knowing that it was the football guys

341
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 7: to say, listen, Dan, you got to you know, an

342
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 7: outside the pellery, holy penalty, take the extra point, good overtime.

343
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 6: He doesn't do it.

344
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 7: But forty of the other side of this is that

345
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 7: without his never say die, believe to the end, to

346
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 7: the ends of the earth for this team, he'll do anything,

347
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 7: biting to the decaps, all that stuff, it wouldn't work

348
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 7: the way it is, So I understand why he's aid it.

349
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 7: Definitely he's over set sometimes and I'll tell you this.

350
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 7: You can live by the sword of dive by the sword.

351
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 7: You can't swallow the sword. And tonight, unfortunately, at the

352
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 7: end of the game, even the life got screwed. I

353
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 7: think Dan Campbell swallowed the sword. And that's so that's

354
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 7: you love him for what he does. And it works

355
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 7: out a lot. They go for a fourth down more

356
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 7: than any team in the NFL. But sometimes you've got

357
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 7: to take your medicine and do the football savvy smart

358
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 7: move and not camble every time.

359
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: Well fair enough, but and you bring up a great point,

360
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: But think about what you said, because it's that very dynamic,

361
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: it's that very persona, it's that very belief in the

362
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: culture that you've built that's gotten them that they should

363
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: be twelve and four by rights, but they're eleven and five.

364
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: I get it. And you know what I talked. I

365
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: was texting throughout the night with you know, good NFL

366
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: moles I got and he said, low, what I like

367
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: what Dan Campbell's doing here because he believes he's got

368
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: this team on its backside. One play, two yards and

369
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: they get out with a victory rather than having to

370
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: go to a full overtime session on the road in

371
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: a highly charged crowd, let's get this done now. And

372
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: you know what, it worked, and he it was Don Dinkins, Sure,

373
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: Jim Joyce, what happened in Dallas Times thirty five because

374
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: of the procedural nightmare. So let's talk about this, Dan,

375
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: what do you expect the Lions to regroup and their

376
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: narrative as they head holding to play in Minnesota in

377
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: week eighteen?

378
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 7: Well, it berty really quickly, and Dan can't believe it.

379
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 7: Said it if you want to hear in the post,

380
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 7: and I'm sure he talked about it. He said, listen,

381
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 7: we're gonna go down too a touchdown and we're going

382
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 7: to we're winning this game. And I like that on

383
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 7: the road at Dallas or seven and all that stuff.

384
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 7: But I think you look at somebody like this, you say, okay,

385
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 7: all right, we definitely made enough mistakes that cost us

386
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 7: the ability to win the game without getting jobs. But

387
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 7: we need to be better and we need to regroup,

388
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 7: and we got a week to you know, get ready

389
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 7: for Minnesota and then we're gonna host our first playoff

390
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 7: game ever at Ford Field. And he talked about this

391
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 7: last week after they finally won the division, and it

392
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 7: was very emotional. It was great to see it as

393
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 7: someone that's been alive to have a whole they covered

394
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 7: the team for decades now, he said, listen, you never

395
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 7: it's never gets old.

396
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 6: To win a division. It's special, but it's there's way

397
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 6: more work to do.

398
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 7: And I think the Lions know that its toughest tonight

399
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 7: was they'll have a chance. It's possibly might have a

400
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 7: chance to play Dallas again. Poy with the NFL of that,

401
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 7: I just wanted I brand Allison anywhere near in that game.

402
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 6: I don't know.

403
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 7: They better keep them up with security. But you look

404
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 7: at the well, it should be a jail before they

405
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 7: go to that next game. Do you imagine the S'll

406
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 7: set that up as the officiating crew. But you regroup yourself,

407
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 7: you say, listen, we won the division.

408
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 6: That's not our goal.

409
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 7: Our goal is to win multiple playoff games to the

410
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 7: lives of the zerrule is here.

411
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

412
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 7: But is there a chance? Absolutely, because they're good enough team. Hey,

413
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 7: you've got to come back and get over this and

414
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 7: get ready for Minnesota and get ready for your first

415
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 7: home playoff game and focused on that.

416
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 2: Had they won the night and beaten Minnesota, all they

417
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: needed the Niners to do is stumbling one of the

418
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: final two games. Number one seed. It looks like final

419
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: question on this subject. Looks like they're going to be

420
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 2: pretty well locked into the number three seed. They'll get

421
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: one home game at least, and depending on what happened

422
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: Sunday between Seattle and their game at home and the Rams,

423
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: when they head to the New York Giants, you could

424
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: be seeing Matt Stafford come to town. Might have to

425
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 2: shut down the city for three days. How divided might

426
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: the crowd be? I know they'll be roody for the Lions,

427
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: but still a lot of sentimentality for Matt Stafford.

428
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 7: Yes, speaking of things the NFL would love, Bertie, would

429
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 7: they love that Buddy Special playoff game to be Stafford

430
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 7: coming back? That Jared Goff Stafford revenge game? How many

431
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 7: storylines would that thing have?

432
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 6: Listen?

433
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 7: You know I've said this, you know, many times in

434
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 7: my years on the ticket and and a lot of

435
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 7: different shows I've done. I was a huge Stafford opponent.

436
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 7: There was a lot of media members and fans in

437
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 7: this town that blave Stafford for everything. To give any credit,

438
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 7: it was not Stafford's fault and he made mistake. Shirt

439
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 7: Stafford was incredible here and it's one of those things

440
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 7: where it.

441
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 6: Just did work out.

442
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 7: And I was I'm here the night he got traded.

443
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 7: Never forget it, and I said, listen, it's the right

444
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 7: thing to do. Jared Goff could end up being a

445
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 7: great quarterback. I got it, Tutors. The next guy could

446
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 7: had to being traded, cut, whatever it was. And it's

447
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 7: obviously worked out pretty well so far for both teams.

448
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 7: And Stafford got a super Bowl and he deserved it.

449
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 7: And that's the thing he will not get food. But

450
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 7: that the just the electricity, the anxiousness, the feeling in

451
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 7: that building, which has been as loud as it's ever

452
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 7: been all season long, would just be an another decipeled

453
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 7: time some one thousand Bernie if to play the Lions

454
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 7: in a playoffs gave at fort Field the first ever

455
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 7: after the first division title of thirty years.

456
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 6: I've won it so badly, but I'm also terrified of it.

457
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dan hold that thought. Coming up after Kevin's update,

458
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna switch gears talk about the college football Playoff Mike,

459
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: Michigan have a shot a legitimate shot at their first

460
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 2: well in the playoff era national championship and by the way,

461
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: I could just envision it now. Match Stafford comes to town,

462
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: throws three touchdown passes, better throw a pick six in

463
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: the first quarter of the Lions to win. All Right,

464
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: I'm digressed. Let's go to our guy, Kevin Wire at

465
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: the chef with the latest.

466
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, Bernie, of course everyone tonight talking about that controversial

467
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 8: ending in Dallas. The Cowboys ended up being the Lions

468
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 8: twenty to nineteen after Detroit failed to complete a pass

469
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 8: on a two point conversion attempt, but with twenty three

470
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 8: seconds ago, the Lions up here to take the lead

471
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 8: on a two point conversion as Taylor Decker caught a

472
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 8: pass in the end zone. However, referee brought ill and

473
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 8: claim that Decker did not report as eligible.

474
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: Gough works out of the gun. There's the snap back,

475
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: looks gross.

476
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 5: Right down, govin raw, He's not the five doves at

477
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 5: the end zone?

478
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: Did het get in?

479
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, touchdown to Troy Lyons. Oh Babby.

480
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 9: What a drive by the Lions.

481
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 10: Wow, and they're holding up to two. Dan offense is

482
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 10: staying on the field. They're going for the win with

483
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 10: twenty three seconds to go. Wow, twenty three seconds to play.

484
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 10: Down by one, They'll go for two. Jared Goff moves

485
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 10: in behind center. Single back behind him is Montgomery. Gough

486
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 10: takes turns fakes to give the Montgomery sets to the pocket,

487
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 10: throws enzone wide open.

488
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: It is Cough Taylor Decker two points.

489
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, are you kiddy me?

490
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 5: Pat Johnson? Pat Johnson, Pat Johnson? Oh Babby? The Lions

491
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 5: have to lieve what a play? What's the go?

492
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: They're well, they saying Skipper didn't report. What was the call?

493
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Illegal touching? So illegal touching the call.

494
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 8: And that's because the official, Brad Allen, thought that it

495
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 8: was Dan Skipper, another lineman who had reported as eligible,

496
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 8: so he called out number seventy instead of number sixty eight,

497
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 8: so illegal touching was called. Bob Mart's back a few yards.

498
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 8: The Lions would then appear to throw an interception on

499
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 8: that two point conversion. However, an off sides call negated

500
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 8: that they would have one more chance, and the pass

501
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 8: fell incomplete from Jared Goff as the Lions fall to

502
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 8: the Cowboys twenty to nineteen. But man, you got to

503
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 8: imagine Detroit fans everywhere stewing it tonight in the NBA,

504
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 8: the big story of the night mercifully over in Detroit.

505
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 8: So some good news at least for the folks up

506
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 8: in Michigan as the Pistons do end their twenty eight

507
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 8: game losing streak. They beat the Raptors one twenty nine

508
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 8: to one twenty seven. A little bit of controversy in

509
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 8: the Lakers Timberwolves game, as it's Minnesota winning at one

510
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 8: eight one oh six, but Lebron James made a late

511
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 8: basket for LA, but it was ruled a two pointer

512
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 8: a three would have tied the game, and Lebron James

513
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 8: insisting it was three and didn't get his way there.

514
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 8: So Minnesota ends up winning it there call it hoops

515
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 8: number seven. Florida Atlantic upset by Florida Gulf Coast seventy

516
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 8: two to sixty eight. Back to you, Bernie, all.

517
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: Right, thanks chef. Let's go back to our guy, Dan Leach,

518
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: one of the great teammates over ninety seven one the ticket,

519
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: the lot, the Detroit Flagship blowtorch, Dan Let's shift gears

520
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: two fifteen Pacific, five fifteen Eastern on Monday. Nick Saban,

521
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: who's a nemesis? I think, I personally think Michigan's in trouble.

522
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: But let's get your thoughts. You're there in the belly

523
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: of the beast in Detroit.

524
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll tell you this, Bernie is brutals Tonight was

525
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 7: obviously not gonna line same my whole life.

526
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 6: I'm just as big as.

527
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 7: A Wolverine fan in every game for years and seemed

528
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 7: to get to my family for seven years. And it

529
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 7: really has been something to watch this program. After I

530
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 7: called for Jim Harbaugh's job a few years before, they

531
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 7: you know, go before the Beatle House State finally and

532
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 7: he turned.

533
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 6: It around and I was wrong. I'm glad I was wrong.

534
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 7: And the problem is, though Michigan can't win the Semis.

535
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 7: I mean, this is a team, Bernie, that has more

536
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 7: losses in the playoffs that they do in the regular season.

537
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 6: In Big Ten championship.

538
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 7: Games, they are thirty eight and one in the last

539
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 7: few years and they're owed two and the Sevis. And

540
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 7: you look at what this team has been And obviously

541
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 7: I thought that the Wolverine fans that were saying, oh

542
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 7: they got screwgs, they have to play Alabama, they should

543
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 7: have played Florida State. We all saw with having to

544
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 7: Florida State with all the opt outs today and hopefully

545
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 7: that'll be fixed with this twelve team playoffs. But it's

546
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 7: a Wolverine team, Bernie, that is really special. And I

547
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 7: was talking with a good friend that I think you

548
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 7: know as well. Angelie changellis the beat writer, longtime beat

549
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 7: writer for the Wolverine for the Detroit News. I had

550
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 7: her on my show the other day and she has

551
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 7: covered this team up and down for a long time

552
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 7: and said this is probably easily the most fun team

553
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 7: she's ever seen, the team that liked each other the most,

554
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 7: and the team that believes in themselves the most.

555
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 6: Of they had body, They're.

556
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 7: Head coach was taking the lines with Dan Campbell, who

557
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 7: talked about their body Jim Harbaugh, and they went through

558
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 7: all the craziness of this year with the Connor.

559
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 6: Stallion, spy Kate and then you know nonsense and you.

560
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 7: Know coaches, He's extended from the Burger situation or the

561
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 7: line to the investigator situation earlier this year.

562
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 6: They've won many games.

563
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 7: Without Jim Harbour on the sidelines as they have.

564
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 6: With Jim Harbour on the sidelines. As far as the

565
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 6: regular season.

566
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 7: Goes, and you look at what they've got in this

567
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 7: Nick shab And led to Alabama team, and if they

568
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 7: don't have that crazy Jalen moan Roe fourth and go,

569
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 7: you know, goal forever against Auburn. We're not even talking

570
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 7: about this game. But to me, Bertie, I look at

571
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 7: like this. This is the feeling I kind of get here,

572
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 7: other than the anxiety which you of course after. You're

573
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 7: a Michigan fans. I think Michigan's a better team than Alabama.

574
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 6: That's not the helbum.

575
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: But let me ask the question Dan. The last four

576
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: games when they played legit teams like Penn State, Ohio State,

577
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 2: and Iowa, there are two scoring drives against Siawa were

578
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: five yards and six yards. They were out gained, they

579
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: hit you know what, took a long point return the

580
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: stettle for field goals. It could not run the ball.

581
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: But I want to back up, I do want to

582
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: give Michigan credit. This is an incredibly likable group JJ

583
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 2: McCarthy what Blake Koram does a Thanksgiving and they deserve

584
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: to be where they are at. I just feel they're

585
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 2: they're in faster company. And if they can't run the

586
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: ball and they're gonna have difficulty covering Bama's speedy receivers,

587
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: let me just ask you this Dan two questions, which

588
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: team does this Alabama team resemble most of anybody Michigan's

589
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: played this year? And what's your biggest concern Michigan has

590
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 2: to do this you fill in the blank or they're

591
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 2: going to be in trouble.

592
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 7: Well, you know it's it's tough because I mean, michisten,

593
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 7: Let's be honest and we know this. I saw this

594
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 7: up close to personal the semi against Georgia of the Origibowl.

595
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 7: The size of the athletes in the SEC George Alabama

596
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 7: is just another level.

597
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 6: I don't think Michigan.

598
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 7: Has I mean Pat State tellent wise on defense media

599
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 7: that was on the road, But I mean the buck

600
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 7: guys are a team with a quarterback and Knle mccorton

601
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 7: just wasn't that good. Kalen and Roe is really really good.

602
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 7: Not only cod he throw, the guy can run. So

603
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 7: I don't know if there's only a team on the

604
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 7: Michigan schedule you know that really compares to as good overalls?

605
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 6: Down? Is this that to the point that I was making.

606
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to say that I think that the

607
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 7: Wolverines are this way better team than the Albama Crimson

608
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 7: Tide are I just look at what Michigan has gone through, what.

609
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 6: They've done to the bad teams, what they.

610
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 7: Did to the You know, one of the best events

611
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 7: in the country at Penn State, Rutgers is allowing no

612
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 7: rushing yards and you know the Wolverin's ran from a

613
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 7: Twitter plus on them. So listen, It's not like the

614
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 7: Wolverines are this knockout, dragout historic Clemson Deshaan Watson babbit

615
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 7: type team from four or five years ago. But what

616
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 7: they are, Bernie, is there a team that really rarely

617
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 7: is behind. They have a great defense, guys like Mike

618
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 7: Santa stro why.

619
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: Of off the field like if Charles Winston.

620
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 7: Was back in ninety seven. Ernie, They've got a quarterback

621
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 7: at JJ McCarthy and it's gonna be a great NFL

622
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 7: pro does not make mistakes that often, a two headed boss,

623
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 7: I don't doubt if it ever doesn't good as a

624
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 7: late But you look at you to know how State

625
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 7: game last year and Blake Corum, and you've got a

626
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 7: guy out. Give you a couple ex actors. Colstond Love

627
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 7: with the tight end, this is the guy that could

628
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 7: be a massive factor in this game.

629
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 6: I'll give you another doget for you.

630
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 7: When you look at the Wolverines, they're the least penalized

631
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 7: team in the country.

632
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 6: Point three pedal yards in.

633
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: The country too, they don't.

634
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, threads still batter, but the Crimson Tier eight and

635
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 7: twenty it gets the spread. I gets teams that average

636
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 7: less than forty two peddal yards, so that's something to know.

637
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 7: Is a two point spread, so it's basically even spread.

638
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 7: So to me, it's about can Michigan come out and

639
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 7: punch the Crimson tide in the mouth, be in the

640
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 7: lead and not be a team that has to chase

641
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 7: or do something stupid like they're that first drive against

642
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 7: TCU last year. And to me, I think if Michigan

643
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 7: played their game where you played against Ohio State or

644
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 7: pat State of the Roader pretty much most of their

645
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 7: games this year.

646
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 6: And I get what you're saying about Iowa, but if

647
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 6: they could do that.

648
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 7: This is a Wolverine team that I think can beat Alabama,

649
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 7: not by a ton, but because they are complete to

650
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 7: me overall, just a little bit better at their best

651
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 7: that Bama is. If Bama's got a ton of talent,

652
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 7: they've got a ton of specimens, and it's Vick stated

653
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 7: with twenty eight what days to prepare? That's something that

654
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 7: should scare every Michigan fan.

655
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Dan, you know we just got a couple

656
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: of minutes. But listen, I got a text at nine

657
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: thirty one tonight that Jim Harbaugh has had an agent, Donyie.

658
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: He also represents Tom Brady and Sean Payton. Now I've

659
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: got some pretty good moles. I know that Harball has

660
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: a man crush on Justin Herbert. Now we don't know

661
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: if he'd get to control. We don't know if he'd

662
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: get his you know, fifteen million a year. I'm not

663
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: making any predictions. I'm merely saying I believe it's a

664
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 2: seventy percent chance at the start of the line that

665
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: Harball will we'll go back to the NFL. Your thoughts

666
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: stand from an objective standpoint, not just a guy who

667
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: and I respect the fact that you you beled Michigan

668
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: blue and you're a true blue. Detrotion said of a

669
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: thousand years, Detroit a best sports town in America, four

670
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: great teams, two Big ten teams around the corner. So

671
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: be as objective as you can and give me your thoughts.

672
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, you have the best balls by the way that

673
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 7: it's just done on your face or body, which is great.

674
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 7: And for me, listen, I do believe he's in blue.

675
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 7: But I mean, I can't do my job right if

676
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 7: I'm not objective. And I've had to do many Michigan

677
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 7: pre and post games and all that kind of stuff.

678
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 7: So as big of a fan as I am, I

679
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 7: have to take that head off when I'm talking about.

680
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,239
Speaker 6: Something like this.

681
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 7: And to me, you know, this is where I'm at

682
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 7: with Harball and to guess obviously brought up seeming Lee

683
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 7: every time this time of year. I think the NFL

684
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 7: obviously is his last bash. It's his dream. He was

685
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 7: what yards away five yards away with Kaepernick and that

686
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 7: lights go out in the Supernome Super Bowl to winning

687
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl, And obviously that's like Nick Shaban wanted

688
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 7: to do it.

689
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 6: Many coaches have wanted to do it.

690
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 7: But I think that Jim Harbaugh is best student for

691
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 7: the college games, especially with nil the way that Michigan

692
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 7: has the biggest alumni and one of the biggest and

693
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 7: damits all that stuff.

694
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying the NFL was done with him,

695
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: but he brought up a really good point.

696
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 7: He is a guy that wants full control, and what

697
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 7: NFL team after how he kind of wears out his

698
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 7: welcome and is kind of a little wacky to deal with.

699
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 7: Sometimes he's going to give him full control. The NFL

700
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 7: is a different specimen. It's not the way where you

701
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 7: run a program where crew to have an assistance to

702
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 7: all that kind of stuff. It's it's basically you've got

703
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 7: a general manager like Bradhold's here at Detroit and a

704
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 7: coach of Dan Campbell. Yet today worked in kind sort

705
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 7: of course, but hard Ball's gonna want to run the

706
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 7: whole thing, and I just don't see an NFL team.

707
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: You may well be right to do that. You may

708
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: well be right, but I will just say this. He

709
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: never got over losing the Super Bowl to his brother.

710
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: He just turned sixty. This is gonna be his last dance.

711
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: If he doesn't go to the NFL now, I can't imagine.

712
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: And I know the stars didn't align two years ago

713
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: when he wanted to go to Minnesota. They didn't want him.

714
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: Last year, I think Denver would have hired him. He

715
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: didn't want to go there. He knew he had forty

716
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: four seniors coming back. Anyway, Dan, we're gonna have you

717
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: on again a lot. Appreciate you bringing the energy from

718
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: Detroit as you always do. Final thoughts about the Pistons

719
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: tonight winning and avoiding the twenty nine straight loss.

720
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 6: The long national night there is over. Let me just

721
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 6: say this.

722
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 7: Obviously it's having a long time stand, cover titles, all

723
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 7: that stuff, bad boys going to work. This has been

724
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 7: really tough to stomach. But I want to say one

725
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 7: thing about Kate Cunningham. It ain't his fault. That guy

726
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 7: has been for several days now. I think Detroit or

727
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 7: the fansaire lucky.

728
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 11: To have him.

729
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 7: The Pistons have become a joke, but just I want

730
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 7: to give it take a hat off to him and

731
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 7: Body Williams talking about the locker room and said it

732
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 7: was one of the most important nights of his life.

733
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 7: It was adulation, it was exultation, it was all that stuff,

734
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 7: and say, god, they still have the all type record.

735
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 6: They tied it.

736
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 7: But the Rows by themselves and Kate Cunningham is the

737
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 7: reason they got so close to get to Boston.

738
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 6: Obviously, it's a very tough to be proud e.

739
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 7: To close to the Pistons for a long time now,

740
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 7: but at least the last several games try to stave

741
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 7: off this historics awful record. Kay Cunningham and some of

742
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 7: the other guys have played their hearts out. That's that's

743
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 7: Pistons basketball. That reminds me a little of the great

744
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 7: times here and hopefully we get back to that at

745
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 7: some point.

746
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: Good to see money Williams earning his money. Dan, I'll

747
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: leave you with this thought, Uh, if Michigan beats Alabama Monday,

748
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: let's get you back on next week and forty eight

749
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 2: hours before the National Championship game.

750
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 7: If you're up for it, well I'm not only up

751
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 7: for it, but I'll be at houstive.

752
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 6: So let's make that happen.

753
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: Over my friend. Oh that's called you know. I love it, Dan,

754

00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: New Year. Hopefully we'll be talking to you next Saturday night. Again,

756
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: Michigan playing in the National Championship. That's what you want.

757
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: So there you have it, Dan, great stuff. Thanks buddy.

758
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 7: Hey, nothing of but the best helping out it as

759
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 7: a twenty twenty four to you and all.

760
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 6: Your great listeners.

761
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: Thanks Dan. It's Dan Leech ninety seven to one Detroit

762
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: former teammate. You hear the Passion. Coming up, we're gonna

763
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: have a special guest, Joe Gibbs, our NFL ref stats guy.

764
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 2: You've heard him on my show many times. He texted

765
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 2: me before the show tonight and talked about a very

766
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: interesting stat with Brad Allen when the Cowboys are at home. Now,

767
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 2: I'm not casting guineas persions. I'm not implying anything, so

768
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 2: don't start allowing your mind to wander. But numbers are numbers,

769
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: and Joe's great with numbers, so he'll bring you. He'll

770
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: bring us behind the curtain. And you know, it's like

771
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: an umpire who umpires a lot of games, and a

772
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: lot of those games seem to go under in baseball

773
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: or refs and Scott Foster. But you know the whole deal.

774
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: We're just doing sports talk radio here. We're not solving

775
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: the worldt problems. Coming up, I want to read a

776
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 2: couple of tweets and I want to set the record

777
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: straight because somebody thinks I miss quoted Brat Allen. And

778
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna most assuredly tell this, gentlemen, I'm not in

779
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: a respectful way. I appreciate people engaging with the show.

780
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,839

00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,720

Speaker 2: Tireck dot Com studios. The conversation continues, and I want

795
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: to set the record straight. First of all, if you

796

Speaker 2: take the time to listen to my show, thank you.

797
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: You take the time to tweet at me because we

798
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: have a disagreement, I thank you or that as well.

799
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: We don't have to agree, but I'm gonna set the

800
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: record straight. When I come, I come correct. I had

801
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: a couple of tweets from a gentleman whose Twitter handle

802
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: is Zombie rubber Ducky. He says the rest never claimed.

803
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: Two players can't report Dan Campbell spelled wrong by the

804
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 2: way Campbell is spelled c A MP B E L

805
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: said that, and you reported it if the refs said it.

806
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: I think the refs are awful, but I blame the

807
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: team for blah blah blah. Appreciate you, buddy, I do.

808
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: I so this make you know. I may come off

809
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: as sounding harsh in my tone. And you just had

810
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: to heard of the guests from Detroit. He's ry passion

811
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: who still works in that market. If you heard my

812
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: opening monologue, mister zombie, I want to set the record straight.

813
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 2: Now this has also been confirmed. I just confirmed it

814
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: was reported by the Athletic, a very reputable organization. You

815
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: don't believe me, you can reference it yourself. Here is

816
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: what it says in the Athletic quote. Lions coach Dan

817
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: Campbell said in the postgame news conference that the officials

818
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 2: told him. Officials told him that the reason Decker wasn't

819
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 2: eligible on the two point conversion that was nullified by

820
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: the penalty is that two players can't report as eligible.

821
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: Campbell may have said that in the post Graham game conference,

822
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: but the context is the referees told him, and I

823
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 2: corrected and said, according to rule number five, Section three,

824
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: Article one, there is no limit to the number of plays.

825
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: Brad Allen went on to give many quotes which you

826
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: can also find in the Athletic I want to give

827
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: these folks great credit, Colton Ponce, John Mashada, sad Yusef

828
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 2: for their excellent intrepid reporting. There are plenty of brad

829
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: Allen's quotes in here. He was the referee and coming

830
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: up at the top of the hour, we're going to

831
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 2: have a gentleman Joe Gibbs NFL refstats having to do

832
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: with the data he has on Brad Allen when he

833
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: is the referee on home games in Dallas and cast expersions. No,

834
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: we're just reporting facts. You can draw your own conclusions

835
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: because this is a procedural thing and it's been spelled out.

836
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 2: It's in print for reputable you know publications. Mister Zombie,

837
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: there should be no confusion as to who said what

838
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: and who applied what I said that this was a

839
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: situation that might warrant an investigation simply because that this

840
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: was procedural and not a judgment call like a PI

841
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: or a close play at first base. I also don't

842
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: have a rooting interest. Did I work in Detroit for

843
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: seventeen fourteen years, Yes, I did. Did I cover the

844
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 2: lines for ten years? Yes? Do I know people that

845
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 2: are still there, passionate or that I wanted to get

846
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: their thoughts? Yes? Don't tell me what you think you

847
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: think what I wanted to happen. I'm reporting what did

848
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 2: happen in the meantime after all that diet drop. Thanks

867
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: my guest, Joe Gibbs, I want to read a tweet

868
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: from Richard Bag one week ago. I questioned some of

869
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: Brad Allen's calls during the Browns versus Texans game in

870
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 2: the first quarter. The calls were one sided and he

871
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: couldn't do it any more without being caught. Is the

872
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 2: first time I've recognized is blatant mishonesty. Appreciate your tweet.

873
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: I won't go there, Joe. I will say this though,

874
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: that this has brought out a lot of highly charged

875
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 2: opinions and thoughts. But I want to talk to you, Joe.

876
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 2: I probably should. We've been overdue to have you on.

877
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: You've been on going to show many times before. You

878
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: keep amazing stats and data on referee performances versus home

879
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: and away and versus certain teams. And you sent me

880
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: a text earlier today talking about what Brad Allen's past

881
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 2: has been in Dallas. So without further ado, Joe, please

882
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 2: share that with the audience.

883
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 6: Hey, Bernie, how you doing tonight?

884
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 2: I'm doing I'm doing pretty good, Joe. And not much happening. No,

885
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: pretty pretty.

886
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 11: I'll talk you later on. Yeah, I mean, I put

887
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 11: some stuff out on my Twitter account earlier. He's Brown's

888
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 11: always been a good home field referee, so this is

889
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 11: nothing new, and I just pulled some stuff up here

890
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 11: when I got home. This is going back to twenty sixteen.

891
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 11: Mean home teams of the games actually slightly of a

892
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 11: fifty nine percent of the games that he officiates. This

893
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 11: is going back to twenty sixteen, and maybe that doesn't

894
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 11: sound like a lot, but that's actually well above NFL average.

895
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 11: So straight up, the Batti's he's just a good home

896
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 11: field referee. Home home teams are nine and six this

897
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 11: season with him, and then against the spread there fifty

898
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 11: seven percent, which is extremely good. So just he's just

899
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 11: a good home field referee. Dallas themselves like, just straight

900
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 11: up with Brad Allen, there's no overwhelming evidence, like just

901
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 11: straight up on that stuff with that particular team. I mean,

902
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 11: they'd won games with him at home obviously.

903
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 6: But he's done a.

904
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 11: Few games this season in primetime and I was talking

905
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 11: to you about this earlier. Three Actually tonight was the third,

906
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 11: but the first one was Philadelphia versus Miami, and he

907
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 11: called ten penalties on Miami the road team, zero on

908
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 11: the home team Philadelphia. They got away with three or

909
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 11: four obvious penalties on that game. And then we go back,

910
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 11: i'd say, probably what three or four weeks ago, the

911
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 11: Chiefs at the Packers on Sunday Night Football and there

912
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 11: was the no defensive Coast in appearance on Green Bay

913
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 11: late in the game, which kind of sealed the deal

914
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 11: for them. And then we get to to not and

915
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 11: then you kind of saw what happened at the end

916
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 11: would be two point conversion. So this is kind of

917
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 11: part of the course when he does these games, and

918
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 11: I didn't expect it to happen like this tonight.

919
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 6: This was way over the top, but it did.

920
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 12: Well.

921
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Joe, yeah, yeah, go ahead. Burn Well, what

922
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 2: I wanted to say was what really rankles me, and

923
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 2: I want to make this abundantly clear to people who

924
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: selectively listen. I didn't have a rooting interest tonight. I

925
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: don't want anybody attempting to imply what they think I

926
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: wish would have happened. So I'm creating my own narrative. No,

927
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 2: which leads to the question. I want to ask you, Joe,

928
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: because this blunder tonight to me appeared to be procedural.

929
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 2: Because after the game, Dan Campbell told the media that

930
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 2: Brad Allen told him multiple players can't check in when

931
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 2: it's clearly listed in the rules that they can. And

932
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: I read the rule and it's not been reported in

933
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: the athletic So, Joe, this isn't just a PI call

934
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 2: that looked egregious, or an offsides call that looked obvious,

935
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: or perhaps a holding call that was questionable. This is procedural.

936
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 2: This is something we've never talked about, Joe, and all

937
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: your great data that you put together were regarding the refs.

938
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: I'd like to get your professional opinion on this type

939
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: of a mistake, this type of a boner when you

940
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: have a situation where it involves actual procedure.

941
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 11: Right, well, I mean obviously it goes that thing to

942
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 11: screw up my issue on this stuff, whether it's procedural

943
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 11: or it's a judgment I think and Belichick's Bill Belichick's

944
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 11: mentioned this, there should be some sort of challenge and

945
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 11: or review review system because this stuff is getting way

946
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 11: out of hand, and obviously with the betting becoming so

947
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 11: you know, the proliferation of betting, it's just creating all

948
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 11: these problems that are being magnetized.

949
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 6: So I don't know, I mean.

950
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 11: You know, whether it's procedural or it's a judgment call,

951
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 11: at the end of the day, it's still the same result.

952
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 11: I just think there needs to be some sort of

953
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 11: challenge end.

954
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 6: Or review system.

955
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 11: I don't know exactly how they do it, but you're

956
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 11: gonna have to because this is happening all too often.

957
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 11: And yeah, like somehow the forty nine of lows tomorrow,

958
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 11: which you know, I think that will but you know,

959
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 11: you don't know, and so this could potentially cross the

960
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 11: lines the number one overall season.

961
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 2: True. No, these are these these are these are real things.

962
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 2: So Joe, appreciate you joining us tonight on the fly.

963
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 7: Uh.

964
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: I want to get you back in a couple of

965
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 2: weeks as we head into what should be a great

966
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 2: tournament playoff field, and uh, you'll bring your insights in

967
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: some of the matchups that are starting to come clear

968
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: as we are basically now two weeks away from the

969
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 2: NFL playoffs. So Joe, thanks for checking in on notice.

970
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 2: Any any final thoughts on this what happened to night

971
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 2: in Dallas?

972
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 11: Well, I think you pretty much covered it.

973
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a screw up, but I mean, yeah,

974
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 6: I mean I'm kind.

975
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 11: Of lost for words on the whole thing. But like

976
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 11: I said, I think a challenge and or review system

977
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 11: that's got to be implemented in the off season in

978
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 11: some way, shape or form.

979
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: Now, when you say review system, review penalty calls is

980
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: what you're talking about, right, Is that what you're expliciting

981
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: talking about reviewing penalties?

982
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 6: Correct?

983
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: Our coaches can challenge penalties type of thing.

984
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

985
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 11: Bill Bolchik's mentioned this a few times.

986
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 6: This stuff should be challengeable.

987
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 11: How they would actually go about reviewing it? Again, this

988
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 11: is beyond my pay grade, but yeah, there's got to

989
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 11: be something because he can challenge like a fumble or

990
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 11: guy's foot was out of bounds or you know everything.

991
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 11: Yet we can't challenge penalties, which have just as much

992
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 11: impact on the game.

993
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: Perhaps more in some cases.

994
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 11: Than you know. A guy stepping out.

995
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 2: Of bounds Joel, great stuff gets to rest, my man.

996
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 2: Good luck with your wagers on. We'll talk to you

997
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 2: again shortly.

998
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 6: Okay, thanks Ernie.

00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: from sports que boy, A lot of smoke still around

1007
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 2: Michigan to the cynics, it looks like Harball wants to

1008
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: catch the first thing smoke it out of ann arbor

1009

Speaker 2: to avoid further possible investigation. Well, you might have other

1010
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 2: motives as well. Perfect segue into what I want to

1011
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 2: dive into next. What's happening with Jim Harball. Let's take

1012
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 2: you back a couple of weeks, and then the text

1013
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: I got tonight at nine thirty one at pm Pacific time.

1014
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 2: By the way, we haven't forgot. We got a hell

1015
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 2: of a slate on the NFL for a week seventeen.

1016
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: A lot of implications, playoff implications, steady implications. One am

1017
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 2: Pacific four in Eastern we dive heavily into full blowing

1018
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: NFL analysis. I'm also gonna have some thoughts on that

1019
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: debacle between Florida State today and Georgia. You can say

1020
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: what you want. If Florida Stated would have their full

1021
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: complement of players, let's say that's worth fifty points, they

1022
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: still would have lost by ten. I've just disappointed the

1023
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: way that went down today, and we'll have some thoughts

1024
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 2: later on in the hour. But coming up, Jim Harbaugh

1025
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: is weighing some decisions, and it looks like he's already

1026
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 2: made one, and I'll share with you what that is.

1027
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 2: Draw your own conclusions. I've drawn mine. I'm Bernie Frattle.

1028
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 2: Were coming to life from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

1029
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: tirect dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to

1030
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Boy, Ain't

1031
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 2: that the truth? Mama did say there would be days

1032
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 2: like this, and I'm guessing there are people out there

1033
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 2: that are happy this happened. To the lines and that's

1034
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: why they're so active on Twitter. And that's okay too.

1035
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. Baby. The opposite of love is

1036
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 2: not hated, its indifference. I'd rather have people engaged and involved.

1037
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 2: So what makes the sports school the sports world go around?

1038
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 2: You know, this is the toy department. Man, We're not

1039
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 2: trying to solve the world's problems here. You don't go

1040
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,839

1055
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 2: a job for my show these past few months, and

1056
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 2: I appreciate everything done, as well as Mark and certainly

1057
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: the chef Kevin Wired on the updates. Of course, don't

1058
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 2: forget the chef will be performing in at one thirty.

1059
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 2: You don't want to you don't want to miss that

1060
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 2: one thirty am Pacific. But amidst it all, I got

1061
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 2: to say, you Detroit much as be the Michigan might

1062
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 2: be the epicenter of the sports universe with the Lion game,

1063
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 2: what happened Saturday night and the Pistons you know who,

1064
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 2: finally winning after losing twenty eight games in a row

1065
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: so they don't set the NBA record, Michigan gearing up

1066
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 2: to play Alabama on Monday for the national you know,

1067
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 2: for the right to play in the National Championship. And

1068
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 2: then I got a text about nine thirty one pm

1069
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: Pacific that Jim Harbaugh's hired an agent, Don Yee, very

1070
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 2: powerful edge and he represents Tom Brady, he represents Sean Payton.

1071
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: Am I making any of the predictions where I think

1072
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh is going to be next year. No, I'm

1073
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: just telling you. I think it's seventy percent he'll be

1074
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: in the NFL. If I was making a prediction, i'd

1075
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: say it's one hundred percent. No, it's I'm gonna say

1076
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 2: it's seventy percent. You have to understand that when Jim

1077
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 2: Harbaugh lost to his brother in the Super Bowl ten

1078
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 2: years ago, he never got over it. I don't care

1079
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 2: what anybody says. It's a fact. He was incredibly close

1080
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 2: to leaving the Niners and signing with the Miami Dolphins.

1081
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 2: The Dolphins are owned by Ross Steve Ross, a benefactor

1082
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: to the University of Michigan to the tune of about

1083
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars. And it's my understanding you right

1084
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 2: before that happened, the Michigan faithful got ahold of him

1085
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 2: and said, if you hired Jim Harball, we will disown you.

1086
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 2: Harball wanted out of San Francisco. He was fighting with

1087
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 2: the front office. I don't have time to tell that

1088
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 2: whole story. Michigan was wanting to get him back. They

1089
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: were they were fully coalesced alumni, coaches, fans, players, you

1090
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: name it, boosters, and and and you knew what was

1091
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 2: gonna happen because at the time owner Steve Ross, the

1092
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 2: Dolphins didn't fire Joe Filben, he kept him, and so

1093
00:51:55,600 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 2: by that was like, there's your sign. So Ball went

1094
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 2: back to Michigan and listen, he's rebuilt the program. He's

1095
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: made the program of fortune. I wrote him like a

1096
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 2: rented mule for the first five years because he was

1097
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 2: hired to beat Ohio State, win the Big Ten, and

1098
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 2: go to the National Championship. Couldn't do it. But he's

1099
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: done at the last three. So you got to give

1100
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 2: him his flowers. Now two years ago after his diet

1101
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 2: tribe with his boss, Ward Manual, the athletic director of Michigan.

1102
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 2: They have a personal relationship too. They both played together

1103
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,479
Speaker 2: for both sham Becker and on the Michigan football team

1104
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: in the eighties. Remember word Manual cut his pay after

1105
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 2: the COVID thing, and one thing led to another, and

1106
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: Harbaugh didn't like that, and even when they restored it,

1107
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 2: I think he was upset. So in January of twenty

1108
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 2: twenty two, on signing day, Jim Harbaugh flew to Minnesota

1109
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 2: interview with the Vikings. That was a courtesy interview arranged

1110
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 2: by a queasy Adolpha Mensa who had worked together with

1111
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 2: at the forty nine ers. The Wolfs owned the Minnesota Vikings.

1112
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: They were never going to hire Harball. They weren't interested,

1113
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 2: and they were going to do it in one day.

1114
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 2: It was a different Ball got off the plane thought

1115
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 2: he was going to be hired or maybe allegedly and

1116
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 2: he wasn't. Okay, But at that point, Harball I think

1117
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 2: would have gone to the NFL. I really believe it.

1118
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 2: Stars were aligned. Fast forward to January twenty twenty three.

1119
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 2: I think the Denver Broncos were very interested in Jim

1120
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: Harball now he knew that he had forty four seniors

1121
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 2: coming back on his Michigan team. JJ McCarthy was an

1122
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 2: absolute stellar individual and a very good quarterback. Will be

1123
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 2: a high draft choice in the NFL. Blake Krum stellar individual,

1124
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: brilliant running back. Michigan's got a top rated defense. Have

1125
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 2: they really been tested this year? We're going to find

1126
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 2: out they got at Balabama. But what's interesting is the

1127
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: cloud that's been looming over the program for a while now.

1128
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 2: Several weeks ago, it was reported that Jim Harball had

1129
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: an extension of eleven million per year times five years

1130
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 2: fifty five man sitting on his desk. But it had

1131
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: a clus that you can't go to the NFL, you

1132
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 2: can't flirt with the NFL. Harball never signed that. And

1133
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 2: by the way, not for nothing. Jim Harball's buyout is

1134
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 2: two point two million. Well, why would he have such

1135
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 2: a low buyout if he didn't want to keep his

1136
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 2: options open. Jim jimmil Fisher had a seventy six million

1137
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: dollar buyout. You heard my report the other night on

1138
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 2: the Ben Mallor Show when I talked about all these

1139
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 2: coaches who got fired but because of their buyouts, they

1140
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 2: went away with the lottery. Tom Allen and Indiana went

1141
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 2: away with almost sixteen million. Houston's Dana Horgenson he got

1142
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 2: fourteen point eight million, Mississippi State Zach Arnett four point

1143
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 2: five million. Right on down the line, they all get

1144
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 2: big buyouts. Hardball negotiated a very low buyout. You know,

1145
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 2: why make it easier to go to the NFL. Now

1146
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 2: Michigan has up the ante. They have now offered a

1147
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five million dollar contract extension that

1148
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 2: carries no NFL clause per reports, and Harbaugh, as you know,

1149
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,240
Speaker 2: is corded NFL teams recently in the last few year,

1150
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: and now he has this incredible, massive offer and he

1151
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 2: hasn't signed it. It would make him the highest paid

1152
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 2: coach in college football. And the bottom line is this

1153
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 2: what's stopping him from signing it. He could have signed

1154
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 2: it a week ago. Why didn't he? So I want

1155
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 2: to make this clear, Okay, I want to be accurate.

1156
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 2: On the show, I said it had a new NFL

1157
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 2: clause after the first year. It has In the NFL clause,

1158
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 2: the clause limiting NFL interests would only last one season, okay,

1159
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 2: because Michigan believes that's been the thing that's preventing the

1160
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 2: two sides from reaching an agreement. So this current contract

1161
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 2: proposal ten years, one hundred and twenty five million. That's

1162
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 2: ten million dollars more than the Dabbos Swinney contract he

1163
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 2: got as the biggest college football contract in history Nick Saban,

1164
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 2: he clears eleven point four million. He was the highest

1165
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 2: code paid coach heading into this year unless Harbaugh signs

1166
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 2: that contract. So those are the facts. Jim Harbaugh has

1167
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 2: been offered ten years, one hundred and twenty five land.

1168
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: There is a limit clause in the NFL for one year,

1169
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 2: then after that he's a free man. If he decides

1170
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 2: to go, he hasn't signed it. Why wouldn't you sign

1171
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 2: that unless you have designs on wanted to stay in

1172
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 2: ann Arbor? Why would you hire an agent Donie such

1173
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 2: a powerful agent. I know the Chargers are interested. Dan

1174
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 2: each brought up a good point. Can they come to terms? Hell,

1175
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: no one knows, Not even God knows. Because I think

1176
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 2: Harball will bring demands and I get it. Do I

1177
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 2: think he could get interest from the Raiders maybe, although

1178
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: I think the Raider should hire Antonio Pierce. Could he

1179
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: go to the Bears? At one time I thought that

1180
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 2: because the mccaskeys treated Harball like a son. But with

1181
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 2: Kevin Warren, the president of the Bears, the former Big

1182
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 2: Ten commissioner, well, let's put it this way. I don't

1183
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 2: know that those two would get along. But stranger things

1184
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 2: have happened, right, I don't Nothing surprises me in sports anymore.

1185
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: Bob Buker wants hit a home run off, Sandy Kofak,

1186
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 2: Billy Martin and George Steinbrender got divorced to be married

1187
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 2: three or four times. Anything can happen in the world

1188
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 2: with sports. I've told you, I said at a thousand times.

1189
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: Sports are the greatest reality show. You can script everything

1190
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 2: but the final outcome, everything but the ending. Now, let's

1191
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 2: give Harbaugh some credit. He has transferred Michigan to a

1192
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 2: national power in his nine year tenure. The Wolverines went

1193
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 2: eight years without a top ten finish before Harbaugh took over,

1194
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 2: and now he's set to record his fourth top ten

1195
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 2: finish and his third straight college football playoff. This time,

1196
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 2: Michigan is the number one seed overall. He's the first

1197
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: Michigan coach to win three consecutive Big Ten championships since

1198
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 2: Gary Moeller did it back in ninety ninety one and

1199
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: ninety two. But here's the big butt peewee. Harball has

1200
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 2: continually flirted with the NFL, pursued NFL coaching jobs literally

1201
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 2: consistently over the past eight nine years. And as I mentioned,

1202
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 2: it got to a fever pitch two years ago because

1203
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 2: after the twenty twenty one season, Harvaugh did heavily pursue

1204
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 2: the position with the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota wanted to hire

1205
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell and at that time Harball claimed, and you

1206
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 2: can go find it in the Detroit Free Press. Yes,

1207
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: it's there that this would be the last time Harbaugh

1208
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 2: pursued an NFL position. Then one year later, Harbaugh went

1209
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 2: on to meet with the Denver Broncos to pursue their vacancy.

1210
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 2: Sean Payton was ultimately hired of the coach and if

1211
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: Harbaugh does not sign the contract, he could be a

1212
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 2: candidate for open jobs coming up here in the near term. Now,

1213
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 2: I do believe Harball could have gotten the Denver job

1214
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 2: had he wanted it. But I do think he actually

1215
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 2: walked away because he knew he was getting forty four

1216
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 2: seniors back and you know all the great players that

1217
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 2: I just mentioned, and they had unfinished business. However, and

1218
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 2: so again, the planets weren't aligned two years ago, and

1219
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 2: they weren't align last year. But I think they're lying now.

1220
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 2: And what else complicates matters? Did I buried? Lead? Hardball's

1221
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 2: had a fairly difficult year off the field this year

1222
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 2: at Michigan. He was suspended twice, now, one of them

1223
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 2: was self imposed won by the Big Ten, four separate

1224
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:14,479
Speaker 2: incidents of rule breaking, and he only actually coached six

1225
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 2: regular season games this year. Now, Michigan recently in the

1226
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks received what's called a notice of

1227
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: allegation regarding the illegal coaching recruiting practices during the COVID

1228
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 2: nineteen dead period and the cheeseburger gate issued. And then

1229
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:33,479
Speaker 2: the NCAA is also investigating Michigan and former analyst Conlel

1230
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 2: Stallions over that illegal in person recruiting and science stealing

1231
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: deal that's not adjudicated yet. So what does this mean.

1232
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 2: The notice of allegation means you have ninety days to

1233
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 2: respond Michigan, So they got till about April. No, no,

1234
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 2: not to March. But then after Michigan you know, submits

1235
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 2: their official response to the NCAAA. Well, guess what happens next.

1236
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 2: The NCAA has sixty days to decide what to do.

1237
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 2: This is gonna push till June or long. They're in

1238
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 2: lines to conundrum. Some people think, well, if Harball is

1239
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 2: gonna get a long suspension next year, well he's gonna

1240
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 2: be gone. He'll figure it out, he'll lower his demands

1241
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 2: or something. But he's not gonna know what he's going

1242
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 2: to get because this is gonna be adjudicated till June,

1243
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 2: and you know, all NFL openings will be hired. I

1244
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 2: guarantee you by probably January tenth, January fifteenth, maybe in

1245
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 2: a rare case. Harball, I do think, feels a soft

1246
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 2: spot in his heart for the team that came back,

1247
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 2: the Blake Korums, the Cornelius Johnson's, the Roman Wilson's, the

1248
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy's, the Mike Sanders Stills. But they loses all

1249
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 2: those guys after the season, including all five starting linemen,

1250
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 2: seven starters on defense. So I think it's now or

1251
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 2: nothing for Harball to win a national championship, and now

1252
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 2: or nothing if he doesn't go to the NFL this year.

1253
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 2: I honestly can't picture when he would ever go, because

1254
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 2: he turned sixty. And how much longer does you want

1255
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 2: to wait? Maybe you just ride it out. But I'm

1256
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 2: telling you talk to anybody with knowledge about this. Harball

1257
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 2: never really got over losing to his brother in the

1258
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And I think Jim Harbaugh, as much as

1259
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 2: he'd like to win a national championship, covets winning a

1260
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 2: Super Bowl as perhaps the greatest prize in all the sports.

1261
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 2: This is a story that we'll be watching, This is

1262
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 2: the story we'll be reporting on, and we're very curious

1263
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 2: about First things first, how far does Michigan go in

1264
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 2: this playoff team? Are they eliminated by Alabama or are

1265
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 2: they advanced to the finals and win or are advanced

1266
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 2: to the finals and lose anyway, right after Monday, January eighth,

1267
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 2: irrespective of what happens in these playoffs, I think this

1268
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 2: is going to heat up. And I do not think

1269
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh's decision as to whether or not he returns

1270
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 2: to the NFL is predicated at all on what happens

1271
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 2: with Michigan in the playoffs. I think what is a

1272
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 2: far more compelling component to this is what kind of

1273
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 2: deal can Harball get? What kind of fit is it

1274
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 2: for him? What's the money and what's the control and

1275
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 2: the other things to go along with it in his

1276
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: ability to take care of his staff and bringing staff

1277
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 2: and have the autonomy to do what he wants to do.

1278
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 2: He's one everywhere he's been San Diego, Stanford, San Francisco, Michigan. Yeah,

1279
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 2: he's a crazy maker. But let's say he went to

1280
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 2: the Chargers, I think you'd have him in the playoffs

1281
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 2: within a year or two. And I think he's got

1282
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 2: his quarterback there on Justin Herbert, who I think is

1283
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 2: wasting away. I can't see enough good things about him

1284
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 2: coming up. I can't see enough bad things about what

1285
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 2: happened in the Orange Bowl. Very disappointing. We're running down

1286
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 2: for you, but first let's go back to our guy,

1287
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 2: the chef, Kevin Weyer, with.

1288
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 8: The latest lots of controversy in Dallas at the end

1289
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 8: of that Cowboys Lions game. Now, Dallas would win this

1290
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 8: game twenty to nineteen as Detroit not able to convert

1291
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 8: a late two point conversion attempt. However, with twenty three

1292
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 8: seconds ago, the Lions appeared to take the lead on

1293
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 8: a two point conversion. It was a pass to Taylor Decker. However,

1294
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 8: the referee Bratt Allen miss Hurddecker. I thought he heard

1295
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 8: his teammate, lineman Dan Skipper declare himself as an eligible receiver,

1296
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 8: so he announced number seventy instead of the number sixty

1297
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 8: eight warn by Taylor Decker. So when Decker ended up

1298
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 8: catching the ball, he was pedalized for illegal touching. Well,

1299
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 8: that marks the Lions back five yards. They would then

1300
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 8: appear to fail a throw an interception for that matter,

1301
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 8: on the next two point conversion attempt. However, the Cowboys

1302
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 8: called for off sides that gave the Lions one last

1303
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 8: shot at it and Jared Goss's pass would fall incomplete

1304
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 8: and the Cowboys do end up winning it twenty to nineteen.

1305
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 8: As for the college ranks the Orange Bowl, man we

1306
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 8: were thinking maybe Florida State having a chip on their

1307
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 8: shoulder after being excluded from the College Football Playoff, but

1308
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 8: most of other players decided to not even show up

1309
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 8: and play as was largely a game of backups for

1310
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 8: Florida State, and it showed as Georgia sixty three to

1311
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 8: three they roll over the Seminoles in the Orange Bowl.

1312
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 8: It's the worst loss in school history for Florida State.

1313
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 8: All miss over Penn State thirty eight twenty five in

1314
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 8: the Peach Bowl, Maryland beats Auburn thirty one thirteen in

1315
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 8: the Music City Bowl, Wyoming over Toledo sixteen fifteen to

1316
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 8: win the Arizona Bowl. In the NBA, as bad as

1317
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 8: it was for Detroit fans tonight, the Pistons at least

1318
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 8: maybe softened it a little bit because their losing streak

1319
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 8: has finally come to an end. It's over at twenty

1320
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 8: eight games after they beat the Raptors one twenty nine

1321
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 8: one twenty seven, some controversy in the Timberwolves Lakers game,

1322
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 8: as Minnesota ends up winning it one a way to

1323
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 8: one oh six, but Lebron James he made a late

1324
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 8: basket for LA but it was ruled a two pointer.

1325
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 8: James insisted it was a three pointer in a three

1326
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 8: would have tied the game. In college hoops, Big Upset

1327
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 8: Number seven Florida Atlantic upset by Florida Gulf Coast seventy

1328
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 8: two to sixty eight.

1329
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 2: Neck you, Bernie, alright, thanks so much, Jeff, you' be

1330
01:04:55,160 --> 01:05:02,959
Speaker 2: of course, uh performing at on do it look forward

1331
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 2: to it? Listen. Uh, let me start by this saying

1332
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 2: the twelve team college football playoff can't get here soon enough.

1333
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 2: And if we would have had the twelve team playoff

1334
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 2: this year, well, we would have had Liberty visiting Florida State,

1335
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 2: they would have gotten in. It would have been a

1336
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 2: twelve versus five seed. Then the winner would have played

1337
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 2: Alabama as the number four seed. We'd have had Missouri

1338
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 2: visiting Oregon. The winner would have played number one Michigan

1339
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 2: in Old miss at Georgia, with the winner playing Texas

1340
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 2: and Penn State versus Ohio State at Ohio State, where

1341
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 2: the winter playing in Washington, Alabama, Michigan, Texas, and Washington

1342
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: would have all had buys. That's what's gonna happen next year.

1343
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 2: And for the umpteeth time, I have to say the

1344
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 2: committee got it right. Was Florida State deserving yes? Did

1345
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 2: they earn the right to be in the College Playoff? Yes?

1346
01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 2: But nowhere into bylaws and nowhere in the I would

1347
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 2: call protocol. Do the words undefeated? Do the words undefeated

1348
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:10,959
Speaker 2: or deserving or earned it up here? They don't. And

1349
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 2: by the way, we know this whole situation has a

1350
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 2: fundamental flaw, and we've been waiting for something like this

1351
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 2: to happen. This is the worst year it happened because

1352
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 2: you have a situation where you have five five Power

1353
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 2: five conference champions, but only four we're going to get in.

1354
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 2: So every year a conference champion is going to be

1355
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 2: left out. This year it happened to be an undefeated

1356
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 2: one because when the you know, the minute Alabama beat

1357
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 2: number one Georgia, who had been undefeated when twenty nine

1358
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 2: games in a row, was going for a three peat.

1359
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 2: You were not going to leave out the SEC champion

1360
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 2: who beat the number one team that was the number

1361
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 2: one Committee team all four weeks and oh, by the way,

1362
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 2: the SEC like them or not, they're the real deal.

1363
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,439
Speaker 2: They've won five of the last six championships, and they've

1364
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 2: won fourteen to the last twenty. And they've had five

1365
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 2: different schools in the conference. Do it Auburn, Georgia, Alabama,

1366
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 2: Florida and LSU. You weren't gonna leave them out? Well?

1367
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 2: Who did Alabama lose to this year? They lost to Texas,

1368
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 2: who became the Big twelve one loss champion. How can

1369
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 2: you leave Texas out if you keep Alabama in? That

1370
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 2: left two other undefeated teams, Washington and Michigan. So why

1371
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 2: is Florida State left out? Well, one of the things

1372
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 2: the committee did, and now you know why I call

1373
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 2: this the made for TV Invitational tournament. It's not a playoff.

1374
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 2: I wish it were a playoff. It's a made for

1375
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 2: TV Invitational tournament. Look, one of the key components of

1376
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 2: what the committee can elect to evaluate is the unavailability

1377
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: of key players that could affect the performance and out

1378
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 2: come of a game. So do you think Florida State

1379
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 2: miss Jordan Travis? Sure, they won their final three games,

1380
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 2: but what Jordan Travis? They were averaging forty one points

1381
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 2: a game without Jordan Travis their quarterback. They were avae

1382
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 2: twenty points a game with Jordan Travis. They were averaging

1383
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty two yards a game without him

1384
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty one yards per game. They converted

1385
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 2: their third downs Florida State with Jordan Travis forty one

1386
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: percent of the time, but only twenty percent of the

1387
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 2: time without them. Do you see a pattern here? Do

1388
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 2: you really think they were as good with Jordan Travis

1389
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 2: as they weren't without them? This is not my decree.

1390
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 2: I said this the night before the committee made their decision.

1391
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 2: I not only handicapped it, I tweeted it, it's time stamped.

1392
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 2: I got all four teams right, and I got them

1393
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 2: in the right order. What's gonna happen next? I know

1394
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 2: there was a lot of teeth gnashing and complaining, and

1395
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 2: it was an incredibly unfortunate situation because we don't have

1396
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 2: a legitimate playoff. We have a made for TV invitational tournament.

1397
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 2: But what happens Saturday bothered me even more. Florida State

1398
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 2: lost by sixty points. Let's say that they had their

1399
01:08:55,520 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 2: full compliment of players. Let's say they would have had

1400
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 2: Jordan Travis, who by all accounts is a wonderful human

1401
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 2: being and a phenomenal athlete. I wish that kid nothing

1402
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 2: but the best, and I feel terrible for Mike Norvel.

1403
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Life just isn't fair sometimes,

1404
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 2: you know. But even if they'd have had their full

1405
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 2: Florida State would have had their full compliment. Maybe I'll

1406
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 2: say that's worth fifty points, they still would have lost

1407
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 2: by ten or more. They weren't Pete in Georgia, and

1408
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 2: they weren't one of the best four teams. I'm not

1409
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 2: sure they were one of the best four teams with

1410
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 2: Jordan Travis, but that's again, just set it aside. This

1411
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 2: is all opinion. But the two best teams that didn't

1412
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 2: make the College Football Playoff based on rankings fifth and

1413
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 2: sixth were Georgia and Florida State. Fortunately, only one of

1414
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 2: them really showed up. I heard some handicappers earlier today

1415
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 2: on a local show, a young lady who gives a

1416
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 2: lot of stats saying, oh, I really like Florida State

1417
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 2: twenty one points. Oh it's too many. Still got to

1418
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 2: be based on what you don't know who was playing.

1419
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 2: Florida State had a ton of guys opt out. It's

1420
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 2: just shame. And then their quarterback Kate Rodemaker, he would have,

1421
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 2: you know, been the heir apparent apparently, and you know,

1422
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:20,480
Speaker 2: before he got hurt, before the ACC championship game against Louisville,

1423
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 2: there was talk about whether or not he have to

1424
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 2: fight to get the job next year, where they were

1425
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 2: gonna give it to him. I thought he was your apparent,

1426
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 2: and I said, he's okay, fine, I'm out of here.

1427
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 2: And maybe that needs to be fixed too. Maybe there's

1428
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with the transfer portal. I'm okay with it,

1429
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 2: but maybe you should have to wait till after the

1430
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 2: first of the year. I know the deadline is January second.

1431
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 2: You have no choice. The kids are hamstrung. But look

1432
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 2: what happened today. You know, Georgia. They wanted to make

1433
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 2: a statement because Georgia might well have won this whole

1434
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 2: damn thing. But since they didn't even win their conference championship,

1435
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 2: they got left down two. They got a beef two.

1436
01:10:55,760 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 2: I guess. But man, you talk lad McConkey, it's his

1437
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 2: final play. He'll be on to the NFL. He showed

1438
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 2: up and played a lot of players showed up and played,

1439
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 2: and I know it's within your right to opt out

1440
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 2: in case you're afraid you're going to get hurt and

1441
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 2: affect your future NFL earnings. But this was just a debacle.

1442
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 2: What is this gaming? Ultimately, did Florida States herendous performance

1443
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: basically give the committee evidence they got it right by

1444
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 2: leaving him out? Did Georgia's dominance basically prove to the

1445
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 2: committee they got it wrong by not putting him in.

1446
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if you could make either argument, because

1447
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 2: it's all conjecture and it's all opinion. I've said it

1448
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 2: a thousand times. There are you know, objective truths and

1449
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 2: there are personal feelings. Most of the people that were

1450
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,440
Speaker 2: advocating for Florida State and thought this was just a travesty,

1451
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 2: they were in their personal fields. It was their own

1452
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 2: opinion that Florida State was one of the top four

1453
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 2: and they deserved it. They deserve it, they did internet. Unfortunately,

1454
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 2: those terms are not laid out in the bylaws. I

1455
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 2: was hoping today for a better effort out of Florida State.

1456
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 2: I really was, and I mean effort. Everybody had to

1457
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 2: transfer out. Fine, quarterback had to enter the portal. Fine,

1458
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 2: this is what you really want. I think, I think

1459
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 2: the fan base of Florida State. I think college football

1460
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 2: fans in general deserve better onward and upward. Fortunately, we

1461
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 2: have a twelve teen playoff in twenty twenty four. It

1462
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 2: cannot get here soon enough. Coming up, we are going

1463
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 2: to start to edge our way into the National Football

1464
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 2: League slate for Week seventeen, which kicks off here in

1465
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 2: about nine hours and twenty minutes. What's actually already kicked off.

1466
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 2: We had a great Thursday night game. I got Joe Flacco.

1467
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Come on, man, Cleveland Brown's in the playoffs. If you

1468
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 2: don't love Joe Flacco and what the Browns are doing,

1469
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 2: then you don't love home cooking. You're a hater. I

1470
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 2: think if the sports guys are smiling down, maybe we'll

1471
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 2: see a Cleveland Detroit super Bowl. And somebody say, you won't

1472
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 2: think the networks want, then I don't care what the

1473
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 2: networks want. Every now and then, you know, we can

1474
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 2: use a couple of new teams in there, and whoever

1475
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 2: you get in there, whether it's be Dallas, don't worry,

1476
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 2: it won't be forty nine ers, Lamar Jackson, be great.

1477
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 2: It's gonna be great. We're all gonna be like me here,

1478
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 2: it'd be here in Vegas. I'll be covering it. But

1479
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 2: I loved what happened Thursday with Cleveland and Joe Flacco,

1480
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 2: and I thought the Lions really acquitted themselves because there's

1481
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 2: so many Lion aiters, same old alliance. Just wait, well

1482
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 2: that's not fair. So technically the week seventeen slate is

1483
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 2: already underway, but in nine hours and nineteen minutes it's

1484
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 2: gonna resume in earnest. I've got some quick hitters for

1485
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 2: those of you that like to throw a few shuckles

1486
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 2: on a game. We'll start off with NFL quick hitters

Speaker 2: as we head into Week seventeen. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're

1502
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: of the hour, We're going to start to break down

1503
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 2: in earnest these matchups week seventeen. And there are some

1504
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 2: good ones and there are some notable ones, and not

1505
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 2: just the marquee ones like Baltimore and Miami. There are

1506
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 2: plenty of teams out there who they're out of the playoffs,

1507
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 2: but they have a chance to pee on someone else's parade.

1508
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 2: I remember when I covered a lot of Lions losing,

1509
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 2: losing teams between ninety eight and oh eight. They took

1510
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 2: eat pride. Actually, you get to December and you know

1511
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 2: they're playing free and easy, they're going nowhere and they'll

1512
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 2: face a team with pressure and they would take it

1513
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 2: was great pride in ruining somebody else's season by knocking

1514
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs. And by the way, we talked

1515
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 2: about this last night with crack Man. Don't ever bet

1516
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 2: a team because it's a must win situation. Thirty one

1517
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 2: of the thirty two teams will lose the game they

1518
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 2: must win. You follow what I'm saying there, You follow

1519
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 2: my drift. But the Bills, they're on in seven against

1520
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:42,520
Speaker 2: the spread, they're past seven games as a double digit favorite,

1521
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 2: and believe it or not, they're all three against the

1522
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 2: spread this season as a double digit favorite. So you

1523
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 2: got to be very wary of you know, just because

1524
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 2: the team looks good. They're laying fourteen against the New

1525
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 2: England Patriots that look moribund. But it's a divisional game.

1526
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 2: And I don't like leading double digits ever, but especially

1527
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 2: in a divisional game. And when you look at it,

1528
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 2: this is a trend that correlates. So past seven games

1529
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 2: is a double digit favorite, the Bills are owing seven

1530
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,719
Speaker 2: against the number, including going three this year. You're starting

1531
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 2: to pay a bit of a Bill's tax anyway, because

1532
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:18,959
Speaker 2: they're good. They're playing good ball at the right time. Meanwhile,

1533
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 2: the Raiders, the Raiders, they are actually six and one

1534
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 2: against the spread in seven games since hiring interim coach

1535
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 2: Antonio Pears, and they're four to one against the number,

1536
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 2: and they're past five as an underdog. So the Raiders,

1537
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 2: they were getting three in Indianapolis. Actually a lot of

1538
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 2: sharp money is coming on Indianapolis. That number is up

1539
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: to four. That's not a game I am involved in.

1540
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 2: But the Raiders are playing very spirited football. So that's

1541
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 2: a trend or a bit of a quick hitter. That

1542
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:54,560
Speaker 2: do with what you will. By the way, the Rams,

1543
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 2: they're getting a lot of love right now. People are

1544
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: projecting that, you know, they're the one team that could

1545
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 2: give the Niners a hard time in the playoffs. We're

1546
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 2: nowhere near that point. And I really believe if the

1547
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 2: Rams end up going to Detroit in a three to

1548
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 2: six matchup, Detroit'll beat him. And I know someone will

1549
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 2: save this. And you know people like to lie and

1550
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 2: wait and play got you. It's all good. I'm sticking

1551
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,759
Speaker 2: to my guns. But the Rams have covered five straight

1552
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,799
Speaker 2: and they head to New York to play the Giants Sunday,

1553
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 2: and again you're paying a bit of a Rams tax

1554
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 2: now because they're playing so well. The line opened at six,

1555
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 2: some Giants money came in and got down to five

1556
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 2: and a half is now back up to six, and

1557
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 2: Tarad Taylor has them competitive, So I think the Giants

1558
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: are going to give the Rams a handful. The Rams

1559
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 2: may win, but it'll be a handful. Meanwhile, Arizona quarterback

1560
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Carler Murray fifteen and six against the spread in his

1561
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 2: career as a Roade underdog, twelve and ten outright, the

1562
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals are actually good value at catching twelve against

1563
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 2: the Eagles on Sunday. The Buccaneers only one in six

1564
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 2: outright against teams currently with winning records. Now, it's a

1565
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 2: great story out of Tampa Bay. They've done really well.

1566
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 2: I like what Baker Mayfield has done. They're gonna get

1567
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. I think they can be a very

1568
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 2: tough out. They host the Saints. They lay in two

1569
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 2: and a half. You'll never see me back the Saints.

1570
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 2: You know what I feel about Derek Carr. The Titans

1571
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 2: one and five against the spread in their past six games.

1572
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 2: Is underdogs one and five against the spread their past

1573
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 2: six road games. They just aren't getting it done. Coming up,

1574
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 2: we continue the rest of the NFL in Earnest. Keep

1575
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 2: it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show. Actually,

1576
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Let's do this Let's squeeze a

1577
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 2: couple more in here. Let's squeeze a couple more in here.

1578
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 2: I talked about the Titans and the Titans catching two

1579
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 2: and a half. I don't know what's happened to that team.

1580
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 2: Will Levis has hurt, they have quarterback issues, they have

1581
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 2: issues all around the field, so you got to be

1582
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 2: very careful with them. And they haven't been great as

1583
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 2: a dog this year, and they're facing a very game

1584
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 2: Houston Texans team at home. It looks like CJ. Stroud

1585
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 2: He's gonna play bike Vrabel was always such a good

1586
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,520
Speaker 2: dog too, but that seems to have changed. The Chargers

1587
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:07,719
Speaker 2: one and five against the spread as underdogs this season,

1588
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 2: only six alright, one and five against the number against

1589
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 2: teams with winning records. But they got a new coach,

1590
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 2: and I bet you're gonna see her at least an

1591
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 2: interim coach, and I think you'll see a spirited game

1592
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,759
Speaker 2: against the Broncos, who also have an interim coach. Broncos

1593
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 2: laying three and a half. By the way. One final thing,

1594
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 2: all five Chiefs games against teams with winning records this

1595
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 2: year have gone under the total. Coming up, we're gonna

1596
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 2: dive heavily into the NFL. Keep it locked. You're listening

1604
01:19:56,320 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be well. An exciting game

1605
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 2: Thursday for the Cleveland Browns and after a very controversial

1606
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 2: yet exciting although it was an artful, but a game

1607
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 2: that featured just about a little bit of everything. Saturday Night,

1608
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 2: in which the Dallas Cowboys prevailed twenty to nineteen amidst controversy,

1609
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 2: albeit on the night that Michael Irvin was in attendance

1610
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Johnson got his Ring of Honor. Finally, after

1611
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 2: thirty years, we move on with the rest of the slate,

1612
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 2: and some of the games you may not necessarily find

1613
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 2: them compelling, but in almost every game, with the exception

1614
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 2: of a couple, it is going to have implications on

1615
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,679
Speaker 2: whether or not a team gets into the playoffs, gets

1616
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 2: knocked out of the playoffs, has a home game, has

1617
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 2: to go on the road, seeding, you name it. We

1618
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 2: start with the Pats and Bills Patriots four to eleven,

1619
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 2: visiting the Bills, who played great football lately, great ball.

1620
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 2: They're nine and six. They appear very dangerous, all right,

1621
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo laying thirteen points now up to fourteen. The Patriots

1622
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 2: actually won the first meeting in October, but the Bills

1623
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 2: are now twelve and one in home games against division

1624
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,640
Speaker 2: opponents in the last three years, including the playoffs, the

1625
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 2: one loss coming to New England in twenty twenty one.

1626
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 2: I don't expect that the Bills will lose Sunday. Theyn't

1627
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 2: know that they cover the fourteen. But the Bills have

1628
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 2: won three straight while the Pats are coming off their

1629
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 2: win at Denver, which ostensibly cost Russell Wilson his job.

1630
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: Josh Allen was quoted saying, frankly, it's a game we

1631
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 2: need to win, and they know that. We know that.

1632
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 2: And if I'm in the New England Patriot locker room, I'm

1633
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 2: looking to ruin their season. What did I just tell

1634
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 2: you before the break. What are the things gonna happen?

1635
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 2: This feels like a twenty eight to seventeen Bills win,

1636
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven the Bills might cover. I don't like laying

1637
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 2: double digits, but that's a game I expect the Bills

1638
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 2: to win. Forget the must win thing. I know that

1639
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 2: you know how I feel about that. But the Bills

1640
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 2: are much better and they truly are fletching their muscle

1641
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 2: right now. A game that also has some playoff implications

1642
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 2: because the Falcons are still trying. They're seven and eight.

1643
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 2: It's the odds are against them, but you can't count

1644
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 2: them out of making the playoffs, even though the chances

1645
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 2: are very, very slim. And meanwhile, the Bears are trying

1646
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 2: to figure out what's their situation going to be next year?

1647
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 2: Are you really going to run a back with justin Fields?

1648
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 2: If not, this could be his final home game in Chicago.

1649
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 2: They are looking for the fifth straight win. The Bears

1650
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 2: have a ninety six percent chance to earn the number

1651
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 2: one overall pick via Carolina, and who knows what they're

1652
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 2: eyeing a quarterback Falcons. They're only averaging thirteen points down

1653
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 2: the road this season, as opposed to twenty three at home,

1654
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens in that game. Bears again

1655
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 2: laying three. Both of these teams are technically a lie

1656
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 2: for the playoffs, but I don't really say, you know,

1657
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 2: Bears are six and nine. I don't want to go

1658
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 2: down that road. The Falcons have a twelve point three

1659
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 2: percent chance of making the playoffs if they win and

1660
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 2: if they lose six percent. Interestingly enough, regardless of whether

1661
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 2: Atlanta wins or not, it won't change their odds to

1662
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 2: win the NFC South because are completely dependent on the

1663
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 2: Bucks losing to the Saints, and the Bucks are at

1664
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 2: home against the Saints. We'll get to that game in

1665
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 2: just a second. All right, game I talked about a

1666
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, and anytime the Raiders play, I think

1667
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 2: it's got national interest, especially when you consider now that

1668
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 2: Antonio appears, who's done a fabulous job, who's changed the

1669
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 2: culture of the Raiders. Four and three, They went into

1670
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 2: Kansas City, beat them, spanked them on Christmas Day. He's

1671
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 2: interviewing for this job. So you've got the Raiders who

1672
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 2: are seven and eight visiting the Colts who are eight

1673
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 2: and seven. What's at stake? What's a massive game for

1674
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 2: both teams. The Colts win this game and their three

1675
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites, they won't have a sixty

1676
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 2: four percent chance of making the playoffs and even a

1677
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 2: twenty nine percent chance to win the NFC South. But

1678
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 2: if the Colts get upset by the Raiders, they only

1679
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 2: have a twenty percent chance of making the playoffs and

1680
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 2: a three percent chance of winning the division again. Interim

1681
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 2: coach Antonio Pierce his defense has created a whole new look.

1682
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 2: They've held four to four of their seven opponents under

1683
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:28,520
Speaker 2: one hundred yards rushing. Meanwhile, the Colts suddenly very inconsistent

1684
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 2: with their ground game, and they've been limited to fewer

1685
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 2: than one hundred total rushing yards in three to the past

1686
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 2: four games, so this could be one of those situations

1687
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 2: where it could be a grinded out. They will have

1688
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor and Zach Moss healthy for the first time

1689
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 2: since Thanksgiving weekend. How do I see this game? I

1690
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 2: see it as a coin flip game, but I see

1691
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 2: the Colts prevailing by about a field goal. They're home,

1692
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 2: their better team, and I think there'll be a They'll

1693
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 2: make one or two more key plays. The Raiders are

1694
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 2: still very challenged offensively an interesting game that all of

1695
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 2: a sudden you are starting to get much more national

1696
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 2: player on the The Rams are getting their flowers or

1697
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 2: eight and seven, and let's give Sean Veay credit for

1698
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 2: one of his best coaching jobs, and guys like you know,

1699
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 2: Puka Nakua and Karen Williams are becoming household names. The

1700
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 2: Rams are currently the sixth seed in the NFC. They

1701
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 2: do have a seventy five chance of reaching the playoffs.

1702
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,679
Speaker 2: The reason that projection is so healthy is partly because

1703
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 2: they're a six point favorite on the road against the Giants.

1704
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 2: If the Rams get upset against the Giants and you

1705
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 2: cannot roll that out travel situation, Cole Weather site Torod

1706
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 2: Taylor might make a player too. You know you had

1707
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 2: fun with Tommy DeVito, call him Tommy Cutlets or whatever

1708
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 2: you want to call him. Toron Taylor's dangerous in short

1709
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 2: situations like this, and he's actually got a forty one

1710
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 2: QBR in the last four years, as supposed Tommy DeVito's

1711
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 2: twenty two. He might make a player too. To Ronn,

1712
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 2: Taylor is one of those dangerous veterans who's like stuck

1713
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 2: between a standing back up and a guy it's just

1714
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 2: not quite good enough to be a starter. After he's

1715
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 2: you know, started six seven weeks, you start to realize

1716
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 2: he's not a starter, but he's good. I think he's

1717
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 2: gonna give the Rams some problems. Again. The Rams could

1718
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,639
Speaker 2: punch their postseason ticket if they just win the game

1719
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 2: or if Seattle loses. But I think the Rams have

1720
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 2: designs on winning. But it's not a game I'm involved in.

1721
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 2: Would it surprise you if the Rams went in there

1722
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 2: and did a number beat the beat the Giants by ten? No,

1723
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 2: but I got a funny feeling New York hangs around

1724
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:36,560
Speaker 2: that number, even though it's not a game I'm involved in.

1725
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 2: The Arizona Cardinals. I talked about this game earlier. Catching fourteen.

1726
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 2: They're at the Eagles. Eagles are eleven and four now.

1727
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,759
Speaker 2: The Lions got their fifth loss today in the NFC,

1728
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 2: the Cowboys have a fifth loss, and and you've got

1729
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers at four losses. So the Eagles

1730
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:56,640
Speaker 2: still have designs. It's not going to be easy to

1731
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 2: perhaps perhaps be the number one seed. It's a long

1732
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 2: it's bit of a long shot because I expect the

1733
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 2: Niners to win their final two games. One of the

1734
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:08,600
Speaker 2: angles in this game is Arizona's coach Jonathan Gannon. He

1735
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 2: makes a return to Philadelphia. He's the former defensive coordinator.

1736
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 2: Had a bit of a bumpy exit last year. They

1737
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 2: had seventeen fourth quarter points when they lost to the

1738
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs in the Super Bowl. That cost him his job,

1739
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 2: But the Eagles defense without him is still ranking. Was

1740
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 2: a ranked number two overall under Ganathan last year. And

1741
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 2: the Eagles actually defensively this season has struggled. They went

1742
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 2: from Sean to side to pat Matt Patricia, who never

1743
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 2: inspires confidence in my view. But what's in stake? Well,

1744
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles are already in the playoffs and they can

1745
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 2: clinch the NFC East with a win. Now, the Cowboys

1746
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 2: didn't lose, so the Eagles wouldn't have had to win

1747
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 2: if the Cowboys would have lost. But if the Eagles win,

1748
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 2: even if the Eagles don't clinch, their chances to win

1749
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 2: the division are ninety two with ninety two percent with

1750
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 2: a win. If you followed all that, what do I

1751
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 2: expect to happen? I expect the Eagles to win, and

1752
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 2: I expect them to win by margin. They might win

1753
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 2: by two touchdowns, they might win by three touchdowns. I

1754
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 2: feel like it's more like a ten point game. The

1755
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 2: Eagles have some issues that they got to resolve, frankly,

1756
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:18,600
Speaker 2: the run game, et cetera. And as much as I

1757
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 2: like Jalen Hurts, he's got to stop turning the ball

1758
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 2: over Coming up, we're gonna go through the rest of

1759
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 2: the slate and how the Houston Texans actually got a

1760
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 2: bit of an early Christmas present with a certain player

1761
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 2: they'll have back on Sunday on Bernie Fraddle, We're coming

1762
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 2: to live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tirack

01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy live

1766
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:47,679
Speaker 2: from the Tirack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

1767
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 2: Don't forget coming out top of the hour two and

1768
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 2: Pacific five em Eastern. What kind of brand new food

1769
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,480
Speaker 2: you followed by what my name? By the way, Patrick,

1770
01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,640
Speaker 2: try to connect with Andy Furman. I want to bring

1771
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 2: him up on the D block before I sign off

1772
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 2: at you know, just before five point fifty four am

1773
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 2: Eastern time. Get his thoughts on the Lions debacle and

1774
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:14,560
Speaker 2: whether or not he thinks there needs to be an investigation.

1775
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 2: I want to get his thoughts, and he's good on

1776
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 2: his stuff, and so see if you cannackle him, keep

1777
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: talk with me off air, Patrick and we'll figure it out.

1778
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 2: Maybe you'll get him on a comrax or something. All right,

1779
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 2: Saints Buccaneers, this is the battle for the South, meaning

1780
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 2: the NFC South. Saints are seven and eight, Buccaneers are

1781
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 2: eight and seven. Really good timing for Tampa Bay. They're

1782
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 2: on a four game winning streak and they've won three

1783
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 2: of the past meetings against the Saints. Baker Mayfield having

1784
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 2: a good year, one pass away, one touchdown pass away

1785
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 2: from tying his rookie record of twenty seven. You know,

1786
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 2: Baker's taking some heat in his career, right, But wherever

1787
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 2: he took over a team in Cleveland it was one

1788
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,240
Speaker 2: in thirty one. Actually helped get him to the playoffs.

1789
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,800
Speaker 2: Actually won a playoff game actually at Kansas City in

1790
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 2: trouble in the fourth quarter and the defense couldn't hold it.

1791
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 2: So what's at stake? Simple, the Bucks win, you give

1792
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 2: them their third consecutive NFC South title, fourth straight playoff berth.

1793
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 2: Tampa is still the odds on favorite to win the

1794
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,680
Speaker 2: division and make the playoffs even if they lose. The

1795
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 2: Bucks basically seventy one percent to accomplish both. But the

1796
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 2: Saints need to win to stay alive. If they lose Sunday,

1797
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:26,240
Speaker 2: they are eliminated. How's that Derek Carr thing working out?

1798
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 2: Not going to be an easy game, though, I expect

1799
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 2: an effort out of New Orleans. But I don't trust

1800
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 2: New Orleans as far as I can throw them. I

1801
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 2: feel like the Saints. I feel like the Bucks prevail.

1802
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:38,760
Speaker 2: Not involved in the game, but it might be right

1803
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 2: around the number. The Bucks we're laying three now, they're

1804
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 2: laying two and a half, all right. The forty nine

1805
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,720
Speaker 2: ers eleven and four. They take their eleven and four

1806
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:51,080
Speaker 2: record into Washington, they're laying double digits. Finally, a former

1807
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 2: defensive end who played for the Commandos, Chase Young, makes

1808
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 2: his return two months after being acquired by the San

1809
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine Ers. Chase Young got five sacks in

1810
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 2: seven games with Washington, only has two in seven games

1811
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:08,639
Speaker 2: in San Francisco, although he'd been a backup after starting

1812
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 2: for the Commanders. But if his fifty three pastress wins

1813
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 2: thirty eight came with Washington, so he get a chance

1814
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 2: to sack his former quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who will be

1815
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 2: making his first start of the season. This game feels

1816
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 2: like it very much could be a blowout. It will

1817
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:26,600
Speaker 2: not surprise me. If the Niners win by three touchdowns,

1818
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 2: the Niners can wrap up the number one seed, a

1819
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 2: buy and home field advantage with a win and losses

1820
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,759
Speaker 2: by the Lions and Eagles. Well, the Lions have already

1821
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 2: lost now. If the Eagles lose the Niners, they can

1822
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:41,680
Speaker 2: wrap up the number one seed the following week, as

1823
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 2: they had the tiebreaker, but they could wrap it up

1824
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:49,479
Speaker 2: Sunday if they win, the Niners win in the Eagles lose.

1825
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:53,480
Speaker 2: Moving on, Jaguars eight and seven at home against the Panthers.

1826
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Look Bryce Young, who I think a lot of do

1827
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 2: not go to sleep on this guy. He can play.

1828
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 2: He's not a deer in the headlights at all. He's

1829
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 2: showing some real flashes. They got to protect him a

1830
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 2: little bit. Only Sam Howell the Commanders has been sacked

1831
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 2: more than Bryce Young, and that might be a good

1832
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 2: sign for the Jags pass rush, which isn't exactly great.

1833
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 2: Jags laying six and a half in this game. What's

1834
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:23,519
Speaker 2: at stake? Well, despite the Jags being on a bit

1835
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:26,679
Speaker 2: of a losing streak, Well, they can win the AFC

1836
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 2: South on Sunday if they win, If the Jags win

1837
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 2: and the Texans lose and the Colts lose, even if

1838
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 2: they don't clinch, Jacksonville's basically eighty eight percent to make

1839
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:38,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs, seventy nine percent to win the Division. One keynote,

1840
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,760
Speaker 2: it's my understanding Trevor Lawrence, who never missed the game

1841
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 2: in high school, never missed the game in college, will

1842
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 2: miss the game Sunday. That makes the Panthers alive to me,

1843
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 2: six and a half points, very very tempting. Okay, And

1844
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 2: what's being bill is the Marquis the game of the day,

1845
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:03,919
Speaker 2: the one everybody's really talking about. The Dolphins visit Baltimore.

1846
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 2: Baltimore a three point favorite. Dolphins are eleven to four,

1847
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 2: the Ravens twelve and three. This is a showdown between

1848
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:14,320
Speaker 2: clearly the two highest scoring offenses Dolphins are averaging twenty

1849
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 2: nine points a game and the league's stingiest defense, the

1850
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 2: immovable object versus a resistible force Baltimore only allowing sixteen

1851
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 2: points a game. Fourth time that the number one scoring

1852
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 2: defense has faced the number one scoring offense in the

1853
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 2: final two weeks of the regular season fifty years. You

1854
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:35,719
Speaker 2: might be interested to know the team of the highest

1855
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 2: scoring offense has won three of the four meetings. So

1856
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 2: once at stake the Ravens, well, they would really be sitting. Fact,

1857
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 2: if they get a win, they would clinch the number

1858
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:49,560
Speaker 2: one seed and home field advantage in the NFC playoffs.

1859
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 2: After the Browns wins Thursday night, the Ravens do need

1860
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 2: to win to clinch the AFC North. The loss would

1861
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 2: drop the Ravens chances at the number one seed to

1862
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 2: forty one percent because where they'd be tied with the

1863
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 2: Dolphins in the lost column. The Dolphins can also cleanse

1864
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 2: their division Sunday. Or let's put it that way, if

1865
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 2: a Bill's loss locks or check that, if a Bill's win,

1866
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 2: could could go towards locking up the AFC East. But

1867
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 2: if the Dolphins win and the Bills lose, all of

1868
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 2: a sudden, now Dolphins not only win the AFC East,

1869
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 2: they got a shot and locking up the number one seed.

1870
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, in fifty six percent, that is

1871
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 2: going to be a hell of a game. I think

1872
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:35,000
Speaker 2: it is a field goal game. Flip a coin. Either

1873
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:37,360
Speaker 2: the Ravens win by a field goal or the Dolphins

1874
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:38,720
Speaker 2: win by a field goal. That's really the way I

1875
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 2: see it. I'm not getting involved in that game. I

1876
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:44,799
Speaker 2: had mentioned the Texans would be getting a little Christmas

1877
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 2: present here, and they are. They're eight and seven. I

1878
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 2: can't say enough good things about Tomico Ryans. I don't

1879
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:52,280
Speaker 2: know what the hell we're talking about here. If he

1880
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 2: does not, if Demico Ryans does not win the Coach

1881
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 2: of the Year, I don't know what this what it

1882
01:34:56,520 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 2: stands for. You know, Dan Campbell as he deserve. But

1883
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 2: the Lions were projected to win the UNFC North. Okay,

1884
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,280
Speaker 2: they were gonna sneak up on anybody. They were eating

1885
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:07,800
Speaker 2: two coming down the stretch last year. Not only were

1886
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,000
Speaker 2: the Texans not predicted to do anything, nobody even wanted

1887
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,559
Speaker 2: that job. People are saying, why would Damiico Ryans take

1888
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 2: that job? Two coaches barely lasted a year. It's a

1889
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 2: dumpster Firewell look what the Texans have done. They're hosting

1890
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:22,160
Speaker 2: the Titans five and ten, Houston Lang and a tidy

1891
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 2: five and a half points. This is amazing. I think

1892
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 2: this is a great story. Tip your hat to the

1893
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 2: Houston Texans and Dimico Ryans and CJ. Stroud he's cleared

1894
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 2: concussion protocol. There is the Christmas present because the Texans

1895
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:41,599
Speaker 2: are a totally different team with c J. Stroud, and

1896
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 2: the Texans control their destiny. Believe it or not. If

1897
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 2: the Texans just win Sunday, they'll be in the postseason.

1898
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 2: And before CJ. Stroud suffered that concussion, he'd actually led

1899
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 2: the league in passing yards and through twenty tds in

1900
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 2: five in or second because he's no for almost thirty

1901
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:07,839
Speaker 2: seven hundred yards. Incredible. With CJ. Stroud manning the Texans offense,

1902
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 2: they're tempting scoring at twenty four points a game and

1903
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,360
Speaker 2: their six in total offense SIGT how about three hundred

1904
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 2: and seventy yards a game Without him? Both drop off dramatically.

1905
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,720
Speaker 2: So again, what's the meaning of this game? A win

1906
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:24,959
Speaker 2: for the Texans basically gives them a shot to qualify

1907
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:27,040
Speaker 2: for the playoffs next week and a puncher's chance to

1908
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 2: take in the AFC South. The fact that you're even

1909
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 2: having this conversation in late December heading into January about

1910
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,639
Speaker 2: the Texans is incredible. Do I think the Texans get

1911
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 2: it done Sunday. Absolutely, this team's real man. They play

1912
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:44,440
Speaker 2: four quarters, they block, they tackle, they finish. I'm impressed.

1913
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:48,799
Speaker 2: Another interesting game which will take place in Seattle between

1914
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:51,799
Speaker 2: two eight and seven teams. Steelers coming off their impressive

1915
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 2: thirty four to eleven win last week visit Seattle. Seattle

1916
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 2: lay in three and a half. And I get it

1917
01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 2: that the Seattle Seahawks run defense not been great lately.

1918
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 2: But and by the way, they're facing a team in

1919
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh who came out of the dumpster fire and got

1920
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:11,720
Speaker 2: touchdown catches from George Pickens last week. A couple of

1921
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 2: long ones and all of a sudden, now you know,

1922
01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh looks like they have life. But fortunately just in time.

1923
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon, the Seahawks cornerback, the number one their first

1924
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:28,680
Speaker 2: round pick out of Illinois, has been outstanding returns from

1925
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 2: the hit pointer he's missed the last three games, and

1926
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:35,559
Speaker 2: that'll be a great matchup Devin Witherspoon and George Pickens.

1927
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:39,040
Speaker 2: So what's the significance of this game? Third straight win

1928
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:41,639
Speaker 2: would lock the Seahawks into the playoffs as the Packers

1929
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 2: Vikings game is, and a tie, not much chance of that.

1930
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,080
Speaker 2: But even if it doesn't happen, Seahawks are in good shape.

1931
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 2: Of the win, the chances to make the playoffs would

1932
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 2: be about eighty eight percent. And even if they lose,

1933
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 2: they still have a chance to make the playoffs about

1934
01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:58,680
Speaker 2: forty percent. And yeah, I believe it or not. The Steelers,

1935
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 2: they can lose and still have a five percent chance

1936
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. But the Steelers actually win, their

1937
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 2: playoff chances increase to twenty four percent. What do I

1938
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 2: expect to happen? I expect the Seahawks to win, but

1939
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 2: I also expected to be a field goal game. One

1940
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 2: of the games probably has has one of the least

1941
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 2: amount of interest around the league. Of the Chargers who

1942
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 2: are five and ten, Visit Denver, who's seven and eight.

1943
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:28,639
Speaker 2: Chargers got rid of Brandon Staley a couple of weeks ago,

1944
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 2: and meanwhile the Broncos it looks like they've parted ways

1945
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:35,599
Speaker 2: with Russell Wilson. He's benched. I doubt they'll play him

1946
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 2: the final two weeks. If they do and he gets hurt,

1947
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 2: they could own thirty seven million next year. Check that

1948
01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 2: they're already gonna own thirty seven million. They could own

1949
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:46,679
Speaker 2: thirty nine million, so Denver will be starting Jared Stidham,

1950
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,320
Speaker 2: who the good news for him is the Chargers defense

1951
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 2: is ranked twenty ninth to overall in around about three

1952
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty yards a game, so Steadham has a

1953
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 2: chance over the next two games to stake a claim

1954
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 2: to compete for perhaps the starter Denver next year. But

1955
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 2: he had the same situation here in the Raiders last

1956
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 2: year and that didn't work out okay, So again the

1957
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:13,520
Speaker 2: significance the playoffs and the AFCU West. They're still unbelievably

1958
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 2: in play for the Broncos, so if they win, they'll

1959
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 2: have about an eight percent chance to make the postseason.

1960
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 2: We'll just leave it right there. I don't feel like

1961
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 2: it's in the cards. The Chargers are only five at

1962
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 2: two to five against his bread their last seven games.

1963
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 2: It sounds like a real low scoring game to me.

1964
01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:30,760
Speaker 2: This is a game you might want to take a

1965
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 2: look at the under depending on where it lands, and

1966
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 2: I think it's currently around thirty five and a half.

1967
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 2: But it feels like whoever whichever team gets to seventeen

1968
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 2: points first wins this game. And I don't see how

1969
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:44,720
Speaker 2: the hell the Chargers get to seventeen points coming up.

1970
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 2: We're going to continue. We got to get to the

1971
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:50,959
Speaker 2: Bengals Chiefs. That's a very important game. The Packers Vikings

1972
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 2: also a very important game. I'm Bernie Fradlewer Comedy Live

01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 1: Me remember what do you have to say about this

1979
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: wonderful outcome?

1980
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 2: Well, I apologize, buddy. Also another great performance by you.

1981
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 2: A little brain.

1982
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:30,520
Speaker 1: Cramped there, all gone.

1983
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:32,720
Speaker 2: I'll be the brand new fool subject on top of

1984
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 2: the art. How's that? There? We go?

1985
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 8: Well, Dan Campbell and Detroit fans certainly hotter than lava

1986
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 8: right now after this sequence of events at the end

1987
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 8: of the Cowboys Lions game.

1988
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:45,439
Speaker 1: GoF works out of the gun. There's the snap back.

1989
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 1: Looks bros.

1990
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,280
Speaker 5: Right, gotb and raw it's not the five to the endzone.

1991
01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 2: Did he get in?

1992
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:51,160
Speaker 6: Yes, sir?

1993
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:55,640
Speaker 5: Touchdown the drug Lions. Oh baby, what a drive on

1994
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 5: the Lions and they're holding up the two. Dan offensive

1995
01:40:59,040 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 5: staying on the field.

1996
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 10: There going for the win with twenty three seconds to go, Wow,

1997
01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 10: twenty three seconds to play. Down by one, they'll go

1998
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 10: for two. Jared Goff moves in behind center. Single back

1999
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 10: behind him is Montgomery. Cough takes turns, fakes to give

2000
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 10: the Montgomery sets the pocket, throws en zone wide open.

2001
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:20,240
Speaker 1: It is Cough, Taylor Decker, two pikes.

2002
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,560
Speaker 10: Oh my goodness, are you kiddy by Pet Johnson?

2003
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 5: Pat Johnson, Pat Johnson, Oh Babby? The Liars have the lead?

2004
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,680
Speaker 5: What a play? What's the f No?

2005
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:35,439
Speaker 1: They're well they saying Skipper didn't report. What was the call?

2006
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: Illegal touching? Which the Lions is keeping their offense on

2007
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:40,840
Speaker 1: the field. They're gonna go for two again anyway, goes

2008
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:42,879
Speaker 1: for two from the seven yard line.

2009
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:46,760
Speaker 10: Kauf is gonna work empty out of the gun, leans in,

2010
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 10: there's the snap, golf back off looking golf in trouble,

2011
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:50,799
Speaker 10: throws end zone pickoff.

2012
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 1: There's a fire guy on the far.

2013
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:53,639
Speaker 5: Side of the field.

2014
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 1: I think Dallas may have jumped.

2015
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Zachlas may have jumped.

2016
01:41:57,200 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 1: It's off sides against Dallas. The Lions will get another

2017
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: shot from.

2018
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 8: The two yard line, so on the third attempt. That

2019
01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 8: was a Lion's radio network, by the way. With the

2020
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,719
Speaker 8: call on the third attempt, Jared Goff's pass would fall

2021
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 8: incomplete and the Cowboys would eventually come away with a

2022
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,600
Speaker 8: twenty to nineteen win. And the main issue though was

2023
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 8: Taylor Decker number sixty eight. He thought he declared himself

2024
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 8: as eligible, but referee Brad Allen claimed that Decker did not. Instead,

2025
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 8: Alan thought it was Dan Skipper number seventy, so that's

2026
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 8: what he reported number seventy as eligible. So when Decker

2027
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 8: caught the pass, he was penalized for legal touching and

2028
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 8: that's what led to that series of events right there.

2029
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:41,439
Speaker 8: So Detroit fans not happy after that ending there in Dallas.

2030
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,680
Speaker 8: As for the college ranks, nothing really exciting when it

2031
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 8: comes to the Orange Bowl because Georgia, I mean this game,

2032
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,599
Speaker 8: really it was a laughable contest. Florida State really didn't

2033
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:54,599
Speaker 8: have anyone of note actually participating in it after they

2034
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,280
Speaker 8: were snubbed from the College Football Playoff. But I didn't

2035
01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 8: expect this to come from Georgia. Sixty three the Bulldogs

2036
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:03,800
Speaker 8: win it. It's the largest loss in school history for

2037
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 8: Florida State. A little more excitement in some of the

2038
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:08,680
Speaker 8: other bulls is all miss beat Penn State thirty to

2039
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 8: twenty five in the Peach Bowl, Maryland over Auburn thirty

2040
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 8: one thirteen in the Music City Bowl. The closest game

2041
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 8: of the day was Wyoming over Toledo sixteen fifteen to

2042
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 8: win the Arizona Bowl. In the NBA, the Pistons and

2043
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:23,680
Speaker 8: their twenty eight game losing streak as they beat the

2044
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 8: Raptors one twenty nine one twenty seven. Minnesota over the Lakers.

2045
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 8: One await one oh six, but Lebron James Adamant that

2046
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 8: his two point shot was actually a three and had

2047
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:35,759
Speaker 8: it been a three, it would have tied the game,

2048
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:39,559
Speaker 8: but the Timberwolves coming away after uh a couple of

2049
01:43:39,560 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 8: foul shots after that, one await one oh six the

2050
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 8: final there And in college basketball number seven, Florida Atlantic

2051
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:49,280
Speaker 8: upset by Florida Gulf Coast seventy two to sixty eight.

2052
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:51,000
Speaker 1: Back to you, Bernie, all.

2053
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 2: Right, thanks, chef, another good performance, by the way. Will

2054
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:56,520
Speaker 2: you be with us Sunday night, Chef.

2055
01:43:57,479 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 1: We'll be here.

2056
01:43:58,360 --> 01:43:59,760
Speaker 2: I will be bringing in the new year with you,

2057
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 2: Burn beautiful you me Shay and and and of course

2058
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:11,879
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, our technical producer. All Right, so an interesting

2059
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:14,880
Speaker 2: divisional matchup between the Packers and Vikings will take place

2060
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 2: in Minnesota. They're both seven and eight. Vikings after the

2061
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:22,880
Speaker 2: disappointing loss last week. I give it up to Kevin

2062
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 2: O'Connell's done a real good job. They're down to what

2063
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 2: their third fourth quarterback. They're now going to start Jaron Hall.

2064
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 2: The Vikings out of BYU. They're out of options. Nick

2065
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:34,839
Speaker 2: Mallins through six interceptions in his two starts. Josh Dobbs

2066
01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 2: wasn't able to move the offense. He had a couple

2067
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 2: of good games and then that went off a cliff,

2068
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 2: and of course Kirk Cousins he's hurt. So the Vikings, well, listen,

2069
01:44:45,960 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 2: it's a must game win for both teams. And you

2070
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 2: know how I feel about must win games. Thirty one

2071
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 2: of the thirty two team teams will lose the game

2072
01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:57,479
Speaker 2: they must win, and that's the later season is going

2073
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,799
Speaker 2: to end. The Packers. You'd rather it'll be the Packers

2074
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 2: and the Vikings though, because if they win, they have

2075
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:05,480
Speaker 2: a fifty three percent chance to make in the playoffs,

2076
01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 2: but they'd be on the brink of elimination if they

2077
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:11,679
Speaker 2: lose and it's it's not quite as extreme for the Vikings,

2078
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 2: but they got, you know, thirty nine percent chance to

2079
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 2: make in the playoffs. What do I expect to happen?

2080
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think this is an absolute coin

2081
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 2: flip game. Absolutely not a game I'm going to be

2082
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:23,839
Speaker 2: involved in. It would not surprise me if the Packers

2083
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 2: won and a game decided by a field goal or less,

2084
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 2: or the Vikings won in a game decided by a

2085
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 2: field goal or less, and frankly, that's the way I

2086
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:35,759
Speaker 2: see it. Finally, the Bengals and Chiefs, well, the Chiefs

2087
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 2: are nine to six, Bengals are eight and seven, and

2088
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,599
Speaker 2: if this game is anything like recent Chiefs Bengals meetings

2089
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:44,240
Speaker 2: from recent years, it'll come down to the end. The

2090
01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 2: problem is you don't have, you know, the same quarterbacks

2091
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 2: you have Jake Browning, you don't have Joe Burrow. The

2092
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 2: Chiefs can lock up their eighth straight consecutive AFC West

2093
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:01,759
Speaker 2: Crown with a win or losses the Raiders and Broncos. Well,

2094
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:05,599
Speaker 2: that couldn't That could happen. That could happen. Even if

2095
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:08,400
Speaker 2: the Chiefs don't clinch the division, well, the win guarantees

2096
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 2: them a playoff spot. They're gonna they got a ninety

2097
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 2: three percent chance of making the playoffs. They're gonna make it. Okay,

2098
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 2: even if they lose, they got a ninety percent chance.

2099
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 2: There's a lot more volatility for the Bengals. We're still alive.

2100
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 2: They have a fifty perchance of making the playoffs, but

2101
01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 2: if they lose, it drops to just about zero, maybe

2102
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 2: a little above zero. Could this be the first year?

2103
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,040
Speaker 2: Could this be the first year that you have a

2104
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:35,720
Speaker 2: situation where Patrick Mahomes actually has to go on the

2105
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:40,240
Speaker 2: road and make the playoffs or to win a playoff game.

2106
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:44,280
Speaker 2: It sounds like they'll have at least one home playoff game.

2107
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:50,879
Speaker 2: But unless they you know, something dramatic happens, they're they're

2108
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:52,519
Speaker 2: on their way to having to go on the road.

2109
01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:54,240
Speaker 2: Because I don't think they're catching Baltimore. I don't think

2110
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:57,040
Speaker 2: they're catching Miami. They need a hell of a lot

2111
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:00,000
Speaker 2: of help. But in the meantime, they just the Chiefs

2112
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,479
Speaker 2: got to worry about what they can control. And if

2113
01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 2: they win Sunday, they're going to clinch the division. They're

2114
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 2: going to and they're gonna have at least one home

2115
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 2: playoff game. So you take it from there. But as

2116
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 2: you can see, Sunday Slate has a lot of playoff

2117
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 2: implications coming up. One particular coach that you thought was

2118
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:24,320
Speaker 2: gonna be gone for sure, Not so fast, my friend.

2119
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 2: It turns out he might be returning after all. Yeah,

2120
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:29,559
Speaker 2: this is a game. This is a name I think

Speaker 2: five am Eastern. What kind of brand new fool you

2130
01:47:57,680 --> 01:48:03,800
Speaker 2: followed by what my name? Well, believe it or not.

2131
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 2: After everything that's transpired, a couple of respected NFL and

2132
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 2: sadders actually think that Bill Belichick could return to the Patriots.

2133
01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:19,400
Speaker 2: Pats well, they've shown some signs of improvement the past month,

2134
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:23,679
Speaker 2: and some are wondering if that success will be enough

2135
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 2: to keep Bill Belichick with the team in twenty twenty four.

2136
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 2: Apparently there's one scenario he could see Belichick staying with

2137
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 2: the Patriots for at least one more season. Albert Beer

2138
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:36,679
Speaker 2: Sports Illustrated said he thought, you know, maybe it's about

2139
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty, maybe a little less than fifty to

2140
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:42,600
Speaker 2: fifty that Belichick returns. But if Belichick does want to

2141
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:46,360
Speaker 2: coach the Patriots twenty twenty four, here's a scenario where

2142
01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 2: it could work. Robert Kraft goes to Belichick and lays

2143
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 2: it out. This is coming from Albert Preer. I give

2144
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:56,320
Speaker 2: him credit. He says, we're going to structure football ops.

2145
01:48:56,360 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 2: We're going to restructure football ops since we were gonna

2146
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:07,760
Speaker 2: probably do that anyway after you retired. So rather than

2147
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 2: wait for that, keep one thing in mind. Belichick maybe

2148
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:14,680
Speaker 2: seventy one, but he's the third all time winning is

2149
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:20,000
Speaker 2: coach behind Don Shula and George Hallis. And it's off

2150
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:21,400
Speaker 2: the top of my head, but I'm gonna say he's

2151
01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 2: about twenty four victories behind Don Shula to be the

2152
01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 2: all time leading coach, leading winner, or how the almost

2153
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:32,760
Speaker 2: all time wins. Try to get it again in English,

2154
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:36,760
Speaker 2: Belichick's about twenty four wins behind of Don Sula for

2155
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:39,559
Speaker 2: catching him to become the all time winning as coach

2156
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. Thoughtful New England to win

2157
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,400
Speaker 2: what twelve games in back to back seasons might take

2158
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 2: three eight one season. I don't know. Forget the math.

2159
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 2: He's got to be coaching somewhere to do it. But

2160
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 2: Breer's theory was that Craft and the Patriots are gonna

2161
01:49:54,920 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 2: have to completely restructure the entire operation after Belichick retires,

2162
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:01,559
Speaker 2: So rather than wait for that, do it now. Hire

2163
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:04,519
Speaker 2: a general manager. Belichick won't have to report to room,

2164
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 2: but the GM won't report to Belichick either. Both would

2165
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 2: report to Robert Kraft. They would work together. The job

2166
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,760
Speaker 2: would be to build the roster up to ninety, then

2167
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 2: find the best fifty three and let's go. And if

2168
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 2: you want to be a part of that, great, If not,

2169
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 2: you find a graceful way to end it. That's Albert

2170
01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:30,439
Speaker 2: Pears theory. Maybe he may very well be right. Jeff Dawson,

2171
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:33,519
Speaker 2: my Boston contact came out. I was hosting the Ben

2172
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 2: Maller Show Thursday night and we had him on. He

2173
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 2: said the same thing. They are starting to get cold feet.

2174
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:41,639
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't want to part with Belichick, so quickly.

2175
01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:44,639
Speaker 2: We don't know yet. It's all completely up in the year,

2176
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 2: but the bottom line is it would be a pretty

2177
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 2: grand departure because Bill Belichick is the head coach and

2178
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:56,639
Speaker 2: general manager and chief cook and bottle, well, you name it.

2179
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 2: He's run on the show in New England and that

2180
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 2: structure has been in place for years. And there might

2181
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 2: even be language in Belichick's contract that gives him a

2182
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 2: final say over a roster decisions. Since the Pats have

2183
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:13,720
Speaker 2: one of the worst rosters in football. There's always been

2184
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:18,320
Speaker 2: questions about whether Belichick should step aside as GM and

2185
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:20,639
Speaker 2: focus just on coaching. Now, it might sound far fetched

2186
01:51:20,640 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 2: that Belichick would agree to be stripped well some of

2187
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 2: his responsibilities just to remain with the team. But what

2188
01:51:27,160 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 2: if there's no other team that wants Belichick. That could happen.

2189
01:51:31,560 --> 01:51:35,519
Speaker 2: You don't know. It's a tough fit. And that scenario

2190
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 2: that Albert Durer lays out might be more realistic if

2191
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 2: that's in fact the case. Although for whatever reason, and

2192
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:44,640
Speaker 2: I just don't buy it, Belichick's been repeatedly linked to

2193
01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:48,040
Speaker 2: one particular team and that's the Chargers. I don't know, man,

2194
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 2: do the Chargers really bring in a seventy one year

2195
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 2: old guy who's had the type of control he's had

2196
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:59,479
Speaker 2: in New England. I don't know, and it's a big

2197
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:03,759
Speaker 2: fat I don't know. Before I get to the latest

2198
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:05,960
Speaker 2: on Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, he always manages to stay in

2199
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 2: the news. He's doing some recruiting. Why to give a

2200
01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:12,040
Speaker 2: shout out to one of Fox Sports radio most loyal listeners,

2201
01:52:12,080 --> 01:52:17,839
Speaker 2: dedicated listeners, that would be shitty, Sean constantly listening, constantly tweeting.

2202
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 2: Appreciate the support. There are lots of choices in the world,

2203
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:25,360
Speaker 2: but Sean is always listening to Fox Sports Radio and

2204
01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:27,880
Speaker 2: he listens to my show because he tweets at me,

2205
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 2: So we appreciated Sean. Hope you have a happy New

2206
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 2: Year with your family. Wonder if Aaron Rodgers will have

2207
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 2: a happy New Year. And I'm not talking about New

2208
01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:39,519
Speaker 2: Year's Eve and partying. What I am talking about, however,

2209
01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:43,720
Speaker 2: is the following, What's gonna happen with the Jets in

2210
01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four? Well it turns out. Look, you remember

2211
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 2: last year, Aaron Rodgers kind of went with his friends

2212
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 2: and family plan, and he was very vocal last off

2213
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 2: season about telling the New York Jets, which players he

2214
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:02,679
Speaker 2: wanted them to pursue, and the thought now is Aaron

2215
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 2: Rodgers He's going to take the same approach heading into

2216
01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:09,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Apparently, it was reported last week that

2217
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:13,400
Speaker 2: Rogers has already listed several players who could be on

2218
01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:17,760
Speaker 2: the quote Aaron Rodgers twenty twenty four watch list. The

2219
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 2: most obvious, if you believe it. I don't know, but

2220
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:24,760
Speaker 2: it's fun to talk about is DeVante Adams, who I'm

2221
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 2: not so sure how happy he is with the Raiders.

2222
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 2: He came here to join Derek Carr. That went over

2223
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,760
Speaker 2: like a fart in church, never materialized, cars gone. I

2224
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:36,479
Speaker 2: don't think Devanta Adams is particularly happy. The Raiders are

2225
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:38,680
Speaker 2: really going nowhere this year. Maybe next year, but not

2226
01:53:38,760 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 2: this year. So would that be something to reunite those

2227
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:45,240
Speaker 2: two teammates that spend so much time together in Green Bay?

2228
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:49,000
Speaker 2: There are multiple reports that Jets tried to acquire DeVante

2229
01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:52,120
Speaker 2: Adams at the trade deadline earlier this season, and it

2230
01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:55,920
Speaker 2: appears they might even make another attempt in some coming weeks.

2231
01:53:56,680 --> 01:54:00,400
Speaker 2: Another player that it's been reported that in tits page

2232
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is recruiting, he's Green Bay. The Packers tackle

2233
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 2: David Baktiari, who's one of Aaron Rodgers' closest friends. Back

2234
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:12,600
Speaker 2: TIERI also a strong candidate to be cut from the

2235
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 2: Packers this season. That's been reported. He's thirty two years

2236
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 2: old now, which gets to be up there for an

2237
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:21,040
Speaker 2: offensive lineman in the National Football League. He's got a

2238
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:23,439
Speaker 2: base salary of about eleven million and twenty twenty four.

2239
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:26,719
Speaker 2: He's had multiple knee surgeries in recent years. But hey,

2240
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:31,720
Speaker 2: much like Rodgers has done before, you know, we'll take

2241
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 2: you over here in New York. The question is will

2242
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:37,160
Speaker 2: the Jets bite? I don't know. The same could also

2243
01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:42,160
Speaker 2: be true of star running back Aaron Jones, who is

2244
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:44,760
Speaker 2: going to count more than seventeen million dollars against the

2245
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 2: salary cap last season. Rogers might want to have Jones

2246
01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:52,520
Speaker 2: in New York. And obviously, Aaron Rodgers is also on

2247
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 2: the record apparently saying he's a big fan of Aaron Jones.

2248
01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:59,680
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if this all came to fruition, Davante Adams,

2249
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:06,880
Speaker 2: David Bachtiari, Aaron Jones. Here's what I'm wondering. You know,

2250
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:09,839
Speaker 2: this is the question you kind of have to ask yourself.

2251
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 2: Given the fact that the Jets Rogers situation just became

2252
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 2: such a debacle. It was unfortunate. Four players into the season,

2253
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:21,080
Speaker 2: the Jets season was done. You know it. So how

2254
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:24,840
Speaker 2: much input, how much control? How you know? How much

2255
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 2: you know? How many opinions that will you know, Joe

2256
01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 2: Douglas value and except from Aaron Rodgers in terms of

2257
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 2: his contributions in personnel decisions. In other words, is Joe

2258
01:55:43,280 --> 01:55:46,440
Speaker 2: Douglas really going to have Aaron Rodgers personnel input? How

2259
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:48,680
Speaker 2: much more does he wanted to have when the Jets

2260
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:51,160
Speaker 2: were working on luring Aaron Rodgers away from Green Bay

2261
01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 2: last year? You know Rogers and everybody forgets it. He

2262
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:58,880
Speaker 2: is a four time MVP. He was able to bring

2263
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:01,400
Speaker 2: in the players that he asked to bring in, like

2264
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:05,720
Speaker 2: Alan Lizard and Randall Cobb. Unfortunately, Nieders made any kind

2265
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 2: of impact this season, although you never know. Had Aaron

2266
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:13,040
Speaker 2: Rodgers not torn his achilles in Week one, they might have.

2267
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:18,480
Speaker 2: But look, Rogers recently made a statement that I think

2268
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:21,800
Speaker 2: surprised some people about how long you plans to play.

2269
01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:26,760
Speaker 2: So I know this, whether or not he gets personnel input,

2270
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 2: whether or not they bring in the players he wants

2271
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 2: to bring in, whether or not you know Aaron Rodgers

2272
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 2: can stay injury free. I'm sure the Jets want him

2273
01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 2: to be happy. They're going to try to do what

2274
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:42,560
Speaker 2: they can to keep Aaron Rodgers content. So maybe you

2275
01:56:42,680 --> 01:56:46,520
Speaker 2: succumb to Aaron Rodgers, you know, requests. I wouldn't call

2276
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:50,080
Speaker 2: him demands, but you know when Rogers talks, he he

2277
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 2: has a tendency to be a little forceful. So maybe

2278
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 2: you make a splash. Maybe you bring in av DeVante

2279
01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:58,480
Speaker 2: Adams and that, you know, gives new life in Jeck's

2280
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 2: new and effusion into the Packers and what has been

2281
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:07,800
Speaker 2: an incredibly disappointing season. Packers to check that Jets. Finally,

2282
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:09,720
Speaker 2: you know, we've been talking about the Chiefs a lot.

2283
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 2: One of their all time Hall of Fame All Pro players,

2284
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:18,040
Speaker 2: Dante Hall, spoke out. He was very very critical of

2285
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey. He was not oppressed with

2286
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:25,000
Speaker 2: how they've handled their frustrations. He said, I think Mahomes

2287
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:27,280
Speaker 2: needs to fall in love with the mundane. For five years,

2288
01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:29,560
Speaker 2: we've been used to the big players to tyree to Kelsey.

2289
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 2: It's time to you know, readjust when you're screaming and

2290
01:57:33,480 --> 01:57:36,120
Speaker 2: yelling at your players that permeates negativity. If you recall

2291
01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 2: Dante Hall, one of the greatest all time punt returners

2292
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:43,520
Speaker 2: in Chiefs history. But after watching the cameras capture Travis

2293
01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 2: Kelcey on the sideline throwing his helmet and mahomes lamb

2294
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 2: basting his offensive line, the Chiefs emotionally have not kept

2295
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:53,600
Speaker 2: their emotions in check, and Dante Hall noticed it and

2296
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 2: called him out. How about that? People questioning the Chiefs

2297
01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:58,560
Speaker 2: they've been a teflon team, Well, they win their division

2298
01:57:58,640 --> 01:58:00,200
Speaker 2: eight years in a row. I guess you get their right,

2299
01:58:00,280 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 2: but not so much anymore. Coming up? What kind of

2300

Speaker 2: country of ours, and certainly around the globe, people well,

2313
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:59,680
Speaker 2: they sometimes engage in behaviors that cause you to really

2314
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:06,240
Speaker 2: and eyebrow. Sometimes these behaviors are well, they're comical, they're innocuous,

2315
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:09,240
Speaker 2: they're just kind of stupid and silly. Other times are

2316
01:59:09,280 --> 01:59:11,280
Speaker 2: far more dangerous. Other times they can land you in

2317
01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:13,960
Speaker 2: jail and get you in big trouble. But anyway, it's

2318
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 2: slice it anyway, a characterize it anyway, define the event.

2319
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:21,360
Speaker 2: Every one of these behaviors leave you scratching your head

2320
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:30,400
Speaker 2: and asking yourself, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2321
01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:30,720
Speaker 7: So?

2322
01:59:31,160 --> 01:59:33,160
Speaker 3: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2323
01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:34,840
Speaker 6: So?

2324
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:37,480
Speaker 2: This might be a first for me. We take you

2325
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:44,280
Speaker 2: to Bangor, Maine, and we introduce you to the inimitable

2326
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:47,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray, forty one year old Kevin Gray, who was

2327
01:59:47,720 --> 01:59:51,840
Speaker 2: recently arrested on the theft charge in the past what

2328
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:55,200
Speaker 2: week or two? And here's what's distinctive about this. Now,

2329
01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:58,600
Speaker 2: you've all taken lyft rides and uber rides or you've

2330
01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:03,040
Speaker 2: all certainly been part of ride share, but what was interesting.

2331
02:00:03,120 --> 02:00:05,440
Speaker 2: Police were called to the scene at the TJ Max

2332
02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:09,280
Speaker 2: store in Banger, Maine, Friday evening after a ride share

2333
02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:13,440
Speaker 2: driver reported that his passenger said he had warrants for

2334
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:16,320
Speaker 2: his arrest and he was planning to commit a crime

2335
02:00:16,360 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 2: and steal from the store and even showed drugs to

2336
02:00:19,160 --> 02:00:25,920
Speaker 2: the driver. Uh huh. So police were called. They showed up.

2337
02:00:26,360 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 2: They identified this gentleman, this passenger in question as Kevin Gray. Said, Wow,

2338
02:00:32,320 --> 02:00:35,919
Speaker 2: we hit the jackpot with this guy. There were multiple

2339
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:39,000
Speaker 2: warrants for his arrest. He was also a suspect in

2340
02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:42,360
Speaker 2: a case from a few days earlier. An officer spotted

2341
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:44,640
Speaker 2: Gray as he came out of the store. There was

2342
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,840
Speaker 2: a bit of a brief footchase, but they got their man.

2343
02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:51,920
Speaker 2: Here's what's interesting about Kevin Gray. He's got a real

2344
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:55,640
Speaker 2: body of work. This was the twelfth time he was

2345
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:59,560
Speaker 2: arrested this year. Police said Gray had seven sets of

2346
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 2: pre viction bail conditions that banned him from going to

2347
02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:07,160
Speaker 2: several specific businesses in the area due to the fact

2348
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 2: he keeps stealing from these stores. But the kicker for

2349
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:14,440
Speaker 2: me forget all the other stuff because it's bad enough

2350
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:18,400
Speaker 2: as it is. But if you're on the way somewhere

2351
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:21,680
Speaker 2: and you are in an uber or a lyft or

2352
02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 2: a cab or some kind of ride share, do you

2353
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:27,000
Speaker 2: really announced to your driver you're on your way to

2354
02:01:27,040 --> 02:01:31,840
Speaker 2: your destination so you can commit a crime to that?

2355
02:01:31,920 --> 02:01:34,720
Speaker 2: I say, Kevin Gray, what kind of brand new fool?

2356
02:01:34,720 --> 02:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Are you? Nicely done? Martin Chef, Kevin Wired, you're up next?

2357
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,080
Speaker 8: Well, Bernie, I saw this story float across my radar

2358
02:01:44,160 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 8: earlier this week, and I immediately said to myself, I

2359
02:01:46,600 --> 02:01:49,680
Speaker 8: found my candidate for this week's brand new pool. So

2360
02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:52,360
Speaker 8: we go to Saint Pete Beach, Florida, and this is

2361
02:01:52,400 --> 02:01:55,240
Speaker 8: actually not a Florida man. This is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

2362
02:01:55,280 --> 02:01:59,440
Speaker 8: man on vacation in Florida who was arrested after molesting

2363
02:01:59,480 --> 02:02:02,400
Speaker 8: a manage he statue outside a Florida bar, and he

2364
02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:07,360
Speaker 8: threw gator nuggets into the bar's dining area. According to

2365
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:11,680
Speaker 8: the Panelas County Sheriff's Office, Anthony Lessa of Pittsburgh was

2366
02:02:11,680 --> 02:02:14,880
Speaker 8: intoxicated and became upset after employees at the bar told

2367
02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:16,400
Speaker 8: him he had already paid his bill and asked him

2368
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:19,400
Speaker 8: to leave. Deputy said Lessa left the business and sexually

2369
02:02:19,440 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 8: molested a plastic manatee statue in the parking lot. He

2370
02:02:22,640 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 8: was asked again by an employee to leave the area,

2371
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:27,360
Speaker 8: at which time he became physically aggressive with the employee

2372
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 8: and then threw Gaytor nuggets into the dining area of

2373
02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:34,160
Speaker 8: the business. Deputy said Lessa fled the scene, but resurfaced

2374
02:02:34,200 --> 02:02:36,960
Speaker 8: at the Postcard Inn, where he began yelling obscenities at

2375
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:39,480
Speaker 8: employees before being asked to leave from there as well.

2376
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:42,480
Speaker 8: So authority said he refused to leave, prompting another call

2377
02:02:42,520 --> 02:02:44,520
Speaker 8: from the Sheriff's office, and he was arrested on a

2378
02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 8: charge of disorderly intoxication, and deputies did say nuggets were

2379
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:52,400
Speaker 8: found in his pocket as he was being padded down

2380
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:55,560
Speaker 8: as he was apparently saving some for the road. So,

2381
02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:59,480
Speaker 8: Anthony Lessa, what kind of brand new fool are.

2382
02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:00,640
Speaker 2: You part of the country?

2383
02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Was this saying against Chef Florida.

2384
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:05,000
Speaker 2: Florida Saint Pete? Okay, Well, the reason I ask is

2385
02:03:05,040 --> 02:03:08,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to confirm it seems like each week, boy,

2386
02:03:08,160 --> 02:03:12,640
Speaker 2: we something's always happening in Florida. All right, Patrick sweek,

2387
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure you got a beauty for us.

2388
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:17,760
Speaker 12: I do, I do, and boys, we are heading to

2389
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 12: a place that Kevin actually just brought up.

2390
02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 1: It is Florida. Now it's not Saint Peter's.

2391
02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:26,200
Speaker 13: It's actually Tampa Bay, Florida is where the setting of

2392
02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:30,560
Speaker 13: this is. Where we're actually in a local grocery store

2393
02:03:30,920 --> 02:03:36,600
Speaker 13: where one man named John Balmer was wearing was doing

2394
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:38,760
Speaker 13: some stuff and was wearing a shirt. Now the type

2395
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:41,360
Speaker 13: of shirt you know how everybody will wear, like you know,

2396
02:03:41,400 --> 02:03:44,200
Speaker 13: graphic teas or you know, sometimes some people like just

2397
02:03:44,240 --> 02:03:45,840
Speaker 13: have to have to have a little personality with it,

2398
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:48,520
Speaker 13: like the weard shirt says, oh hey, look I'm with

2399
02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:51,480
Speaker 13: stupid and then the other person puts, I'm stupid, you.

2400
02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Know, one of those fun shirts.

2401
02:03:53,200 --> 02:03:56,520
Speaker 13: Well, this guy should have been wearing the shirt saying

2402
02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:59,760
Speaker 13: I am stupid because he was in line and wearing

2403
02:03:59,800 --> 02:04:02,880
Speaker 13: a shit that says who needs drugs? No, seriously, I

2404
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 13: have drugs on his shirt. Now, you know, that could

2405
02:04:07,240 --> 02:04:10,880
Speaker 13: be a simple, easy, like funny thing. However, kind of

2406
02:04:10,920 --> 02:04:14,360
Speaker 13: takes a bit of a turn. Was acting a little

2407
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:18,400
Speaker 13: weird and funky in these you know, grocery stores, you know,

2408
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:22,680
Speaker 13: just kind of a little out there. So police were

2409
02:04:22,720 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 13: nearby ended up kind of finding reasonable cause to just

2410
02:04:26,240 --> 02:04:28,920
Speaker 13: investigate him a little bit, ask him around, was acting

2411
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:32,640
Speaker 13: weird and what asked that? They asked him, hey, man,

2412
02:04:32,680 --> 02:04:34,040
Speaker 13: are you okay? And he goes, yeah, man, I just

2413
02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:36,880
Speaker 13: got something like what's in your pocket? Well it was

2414
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:41,320
Speaker 13: some leafy greens, and I don't mean the stuff from trees.

2415
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean some marijuana and crystal meths.

2416
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:47,760
Speaker 13: So he really did have drugs, and he outed himself

2417
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:50,120
Speaker 13: by wearing a shirt that said he had drugs. So

2418
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:54,960
Speaker 13: John Baumber was arrested in front of various grocery store

2419
02:04:54,960 --> 02:04:59,520
Speaker 13: attendees for a possession of narcotics. So, mister John Balmer

2420
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:03,080
Speaker 13: in the Tampa Bay grocery store, what kind of brand

2421
02:05:03,120 --> 02:05:04,320
Speaker 13: new fool are you, sir?

2422
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:09,240
Speaker 2: That's outstanding. That's just good stuff right there, all all

2423
02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:14,320
Speaker 2: the way around. Multiple multiple stupidities tonight, another rousing addition

2424
02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:16,960
Speaker 2: of what kind of brand new fool you, which of

2425
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:21,600
Speaker 2: course allows us the second segue into our second favorite segment,

2426
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:27,080
Speaker 2: which we lovingly refer to as what my name? So

2427
02:05:27,280 --> 02:05:31,560
Speaker 2: here we go. As Jim Lang once said, look it up,

2428
02:05:32,120 --> 02:05:36,800

2457
02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:24,560
Speaker 2: We're having a little fun with this, Okay. I'm only

2458
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:26,880
Speaker 2: the second quarterback in Pac twelve history to throw four

2459
02:07:26,880 --> 02:07:30,640
Speaker 2: thousand yards four four thousand yards in multiple seasons. The

2460
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:32,840

Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey might get this one. We're gonna flip to baseball.

2482
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:40,560
Speaker 2: Why do we flip to baseball in the middle of winter?

2483
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:44,720

2502
02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:35,040

Speaker 2: Good casses. He was a prolific hitter and that was

2515
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:12,560
Speaker 2: pretty much near his prime. Actually it was George Brett.

2516
02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:15,120

02:13:44,120 --> 02:13:47,920
Speaker 2: birthday cumulatively in the NBA games. Patrick sweeka with my name?

2581
02:13:48,280 --> 02:13:52,080
Speaker 13: Who is the go to the king Lebron James.

2582
02:13:52,360 --> 02:13:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if the judges can allow because he

2583
02:13:53,920 --> 02:13:55,920
Speaker 2: ain't the gold but he is the king because he

2584
02:13:55,960 --> 02:13:58,760
Speaker 2: calls himself the king. But we're gonna allow it because

2585

Speaker 15: won what ay game one twenty nine to one twenty seven,

Speaker 15: attending the.

2615
02:16:03,200 --> 02:16:06,720
Speaker 1: Losing streak at twenty eight in a.

2616
02:16:06,800 --> 02:16:11,440
Speaker 2: Row, and courtesy of Pistons Radio Network, I had the

2617
02:16:11,480 --> 02:16:14,920
Speaker 2: Pistons tonight or Saturday night plus six points. They've been

2618
02:16:14,960 --> 02:16:17,320
Speaker 2: given an effort. Man, they scared Boston the other night.

2619
02:16:17,360 --> 02:16:21,280
Speaker 2: They almost had Brooklyn beat It's the five logic that

2620
02:16:21,320 --> 02:16:22,720
Speaker 2: you could lose twenty eight games in a ro They

2621
02:16:22,720 --> 02:16:24,360
Speaker 2: did not want to lose that twenty ninth they would

2622
02:16:24,360 --> 02:16:29,400
Speaker 2: have been the setting the new record for most losses

2623
02:16:29,440 --> 02:16:33,160
Speaker 2: in a row in the National Basketball Association. They most

2624
02:16:33,240 --> 02:16:36,520
Speaker 2: clearly did not want that record. Well, still got a

2625
02:16:36,520 --> 02:16:38,280
Speaker 2: lot of work ahead of them. Man, they started out

2626
02:16:38,280 --> 02:16:41,680
Speaker 2: two and one. Now they're three and twenty nine, and

2627
02:16:41,720 --> 02:16:44,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't get much easier. So long way to go,

2628
02:16:44,520 --> 02:16:46,480
Speaker 2: but at least a little steam off the can. Of course.

2629

2634
02:17:03,959 --> 02:17:07,240
Speaker 2: midst of the turmoil and the Saturday night game and

2635
02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:09,160
Speaker 2: what goes on in the world of sports. There's one

2636
02:17:09,200 --> 02:17:11,920
Speaker 2: happy story. Come on, give it up to Joe flaccol

2637
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:15,280
Speaker 2: Dude's thirty eight years old. He's now surpassed three hundred

2638
02:17:15,360 --> 02:17:18,040
Speaker 2: yards and four consent new games, first time in his

2639
02:17:18,120 --> 02:17:20,640
Speaker 2: career that's ever happened. And he's been at the VP

2640
02:17:20,720 --> 02:17:22,400
Speaker 2: and he's won a Super Bowl. And people are saying,

2641
02:17:22,640 --> 02:17:24,400
Speaker 2: how was the guy at this age coming off the

2642
02:17:24,440 --> 02:17:27,280
Speaker 2: couch after not playing for years putting up these kinds

2643
02:17:27,320 --> 02:17:32,119
Speaker 2: of numbers. People ask Joe Flacco that people look at him,

2644
02:17:32,120 --> 02:17:36,720
Speaker 2: they shrug their shoulders. They don't understand. Flacco's last great

2645
02:17:36,760 --> 02:17:40,160
Speaker 2: season was twenty fourteen. His last goodyear was twenty seventeen.

2646
02:17:40,800 --> 02:17:44,360
Speaker 2: He's considered irrelevant because during his three seasons in New

2647
02:17:44,400 --> 02:17:46,400
Speaker 2: York they've planned out so much and New York turned

2648
02:17:46,440 --> 02:17:49,440
Speaker 2: him down. But look what he's done this year. And

2649
02:17:49,480 --> 02:17:52,520
Speaker 2: we're talking just in a handful of games. Thirteen touchdown

2650
02:17:52,560 --> 02:17:55,760
Speaker 2: passes already equal or seed the total for five NFL

2651
02:17:55,800 --> 02:17:59,080
Speaker 2: teams for the season jack Steelers, Titans, Panthers, and Giants.

2652
02:18:00,080 --> 02:18:04,640
Speaker 2: Teen touchdown passes equal the Steelers Kenny Pickett's career total,

2653
02:18:05,200 --> 02:18:07,840
Speaker 2: and by the way, it ranks twenty second on the

2654
02:18:07,840 --> 02:18:12,640
Speaker 2: Browns career list already one behind who DeShawn Watson, who

2655
02:18:12,640 --> 02:18:15,840
Speaker 2: has two hundred and thirty eight million reasons that Cleveland's

2656
02:18:15,840 --> 02:18:19,039
Speaker 2: wondering what the hell did we do here? Flacker was

2657
02:18:19,080 --> 02:18:21,680
Speaker 2: doing things at thirty eight years old. Thirty eight year

2658
02:18:21,720 --> 02:18:23,640
Speaker 2: olds aren't supposed to do when they were just sitting

2659
02:18:23,640 --> 02:18:27,480
Speaker 2: on the couch six weeks ago, and he's good natured

2660
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:31,280
Speaker 2: about it. Two coming up, we will bring you Chris

2661
02:18:31,280 --> 02:18:33,440
Speaker 2: Prefet's World of Soccer. But first let's go back to

2662
02:18:33,480 --> 02:18:35,560
Speaker 2: our guy, the chef, Kevin Wired with the.

2663
02:18:35,600 --> 02:18:38,080
Speaker 8: Latest Yeah, all the talk. Bernie was on the game

2664
02:18:38,240 --> 02:18:42,240
Speaker 8: Saturday night in Dallas, Cowboys Lions were Dallas ends up

2665
02:18:42,280 --> 02:18:45,760
Speaker 8: winning at twenty to nineteen after Detroit not able to

2666
02:18:45,800 --> 02:18:49,080
Speaker 8: convert on a late two point conversion attempt. However, with

2667
02:18:49,240 --> 02:18:52,080
Speaker 8: twenty three seconds, the Lions actually appeared to take the

2668
02:18:52,160 --> 02:18:55,320
Speaker 8: lead on a two point pass to Taylor Decker, but

2669
02:18:56,200 --> 02:19:00,200
Speaker 8: referee Brad Allen said that Decker did not report as eligible. Well,

2670
02:19:00,240 --> 02:19:03,520
Speaker 8: the official Brad Allen thought that it was Decker's teammate

2671
02:19:03,640 --> 02:19:06,560
Speaker 8: Dan Skipper reporting is eligible, so he said number seventy

2672
02:19:06,600 --> 02:19:08,920
Speaker 8: as opposed to number sixty eight, which is the number

2673
02:19:08,959 --> 02:19:11,640
Speaker 8: Taylor Decker war so when Decker caught that pass on

2674
02:19:11,680 --> 02:19:15,120
Speaker 8: that two point conversion attempt, he was called for illegal touching.

2675
02:19:15,200 --> 02:19:17,959
Speaker 8: They marched the Lions back five yards. On the second

2676
02:19:18,040 --> 02:19:20,680
Speaker 8: two point conversion attempt, they had appeared that Jared gofflit

2677
02:19:20,760 --> 02:19:23,640
Speaker 8: threw an interception, but Dallas was called for off sides

2678
02:19:23,680 --> 02:19:26,440
Speaker 8: That gave the Lions a third crack at converting the

2679
02:19:26,440 --> 02:19:28,560
Speaker 8: two point conversion. At that point I questioned why Dan

2680
02:19:28,600 --> 02:19:31,760
Speaker 8: Campbell didn't just kick the field goal, but I digress.

2681
02:19:32,280 --> 02:19:34,960
Speaker 8: The third attempt at the two point conversion saw Jared

2682
02:19:34,959 --> 02:19:38,360
Speaker 8: Goff's pass fall incomplete and the Cowboys come away with

2683
02:19:38,680 --> 02:19:41,600
Speaker 8: the twenty to nineteen of victory. But several in Detroit,

2684
02:19:41,600 --> 02:19:44,960
Speaker 8: including Dan Campbell, not happy about how the officials handled

2685
02:19:45,440 --> 02:19:48,920
Speaker 8: that sequence of events there at the end. As for

2686
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:52,680
Speaker 8: the college ranks, we saw an absolute pitiful bowl game,

2687
02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:56,680
Speaker 8: especially from Florida State. Their performance Georgia completely rolls over

2688
02:19:56,720 --> 02:19:58,640
Speaker 8: the seminal sixty three to three. Now, I know Florida

2689
02:19:58,680 --> 02:20:01,520
Speaker 8: State didn't have anyone of no really playing, but after

2690
02:20:01,520 --> 02:20:03,800
Speaker 8: they were snubbed to the College Football Playoff, I figured

2691
02:20:03,840 --> 02:20:06,720
Speaker 8: maybe they might have a chip on their shoulder, and really,

2692
02:20:06,800 --> 02:20:08,840
Speaker 8: I want to stick it to the committee, but they

2693
02:20:08,879 --> 02:20:11,279
Speaker 8: just kind of decided to mail it in and Georgia

2694
02:20:11,360 --> 02:20:14,560
Speaker 8: they're all too eager to take advantage in that sixty

2695
02:20:14,560 --> 02:20:17,040
Speaker 8: three to three, winning the Orange Bowl. All Miss beats

2696
02:20:17,080 --> 02:20:18,920
Speaker 8: Penn State thirty eight to twenty five in the Peach Bowl,

2697
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:21,600
Speaker 8: Maryland over Auburn thirty one thirteen in the Music City Bowl,

2698
02:20:21,920 --> 02:20:25,760
Speaker 8: Wyoming beats Toledo sixteen to fifteen to win the Arizona

2699
02:20:25,800 --> 02:20:29,240
Speaker 8: Bowl NBA, the Pistons ending their twenty eight game losing straight,

2700
02:20:29,280 --> 02:20:31,040
Speaker 8: holding on to defeat the Raptors win twenty nine to

2701
02:20:31,120 --> 02:20:33,960
Speaker 8: twenty seven. It's the Timberwolves over the Lakers, one to wait,

2702
02:20:34,000 --> 02:20:36,680
Speaker 8: one oh six. Lebron James getting a bucket for the

2703
02:20:36,760 --> 02:20:40,480
Speaker 8: Lakers toward the end, but it was ruled a two

2704
02:20:40,480 --> 02:20:43,400
Speaker 8: point or a three would have tied the game with

2705
02:20:43,480 --> 02:20:46,360
Speaker 8: a just seconds to go, but the Timberwolves able to

2706
02:20:46,440 --> 02:20:48,000
Speaker 8: add a free throwt to that to win by that

2707
02:20:48,040 --> 02:20:50,720
Speaker 8: final score of two one o waight to one oh six.

2708
02:20:50,760 --> 02:20:53,320
Speaker 8: And College basketball number seven in Florida Atlantic upset by

2709
02:20:53,320 --> 02:20:56,240
Speaker 8: Florida Gulf Coast seventy two to sixty eight.

2710

Speaker 2: on the field or off the field, twenty four to seven.

2714
02:21:10,640 --> 02:21:14,360
Speaker 2: Around the world they call it football, they call it soccer.

Speaker 16: world of soccer, and to look ahead to the year

2730
02:22:16,879 --> 02:22:19,720
Speaker 16: that's coming, Well, where do you even begin to start.

2731
02:22:20,480 --> 02:22:23,040
Speaker 16: There's so much happened in the world of soccer. I

2732
02:22:23,080 --> 02:22:26,360
Speaker 16: suppose we could start with FIFA itself. We could talk

2733
02:22:26,400 --> 02:22:29,360
Speaker 16: about the Women's World Cup, the end of the era

2734
02:22:29,520 --> 02:22:33,080
Speaker 16: that was for the United States women's national team, as

2735
02:22:33,120 --> 02:22:37,160
Speaker 16: they failed to make a three peat to stamp their

2736
02:22:37,280 --> 02:22:41,680
Speaker 16: name into history as their veterans said farewell, like such

2737
02:22:41,680 --> 02:22:46,640
Speaker 16: as Megan Rapino and the new stars of the women's

2738
02:22:46,640 --> 02:22:51,440
Speaker 16: team have yet to really bring championship glory to really

2739
02:22:51,720 --> 02:22:55,320
Speaker 16: stamp their name on the legacy of that team. Instead,

2740
02:22:55,320 --> 02:22:58,280
Speaker 16: it was Spain who walked away with the trophy this year,

2741
02:22:58,480 --> 02:23:02,800
Speaker 16: and their championship in their celebration really overshadowed by the

2742
02:23:02,840 --> 02:23:07,480
Speaker 16: antics of Spanish Federation president Luis Riubiales and the kiss

2743
02:23:07,560 --> 02:23:12,320
Speaker 16: that ruined it all and plunge that nation, FIFA and

2744
02:23:12,360 --> 02:23:16,720
Speaker 16: really all of women's world World soccer into chaos until

2745
02:23:16,879 --> 02:23:20,360
Speaker 16: finally he was forced from the spotlight in the men's game.

2746
02:23:20,600 --> 02:23:23,480
Speaker 16: So much has happened, and I suppose we start with

2747
02:23:23,560 --> 02:23:25,400
Speaker 16: the biggest name out there, the.

2748
02:23:25,280 --> 02:23:27,680
Speaker 1: Power of one man to change a nation.

2749
02:23:28,360 --> 02:23:31,959
Speaker 16: Lionel Messi, Yes, the man who won the blondieuor for

2750
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:35,680
Speaker 16: twenty twenty three as the greatest men's footballer of the year.

2751
02:23:35,840 --> 02:23:40,119
Speaker 16: No surprise, there as he comes stateside. He leaves Paris

2752
02:23:40,200 --> 02:23:42,440
Speaker 16: Saint Germain will get more on them in a second,

2753
02:23:42,879 --> 02:23:46,279
Speaker 16: and comes to inter Miami to follow in the footsteps

2754
02:23:46,600 --> 02:23:50,800
Speaker 16: of David Beckham, the partial owner of Inter Miami, and

2755
02:23:51,000 --> 02:23:55,720
Speaker 16: becomes the face for the Premier Soccer League of the

2756
02:23:55,840 --> 02:24:00,480
Speaker 16: United States, and they earned trophies this year. They did

2757
02:24:00,560 --> 02:24:04,240
Speaker 16: earn the League's Cup in a face off between MLS

2758
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:08,000
Speaker 16: clubs and the clubs of Liga MX of Mexico. While

2759
02:24:08,040 --> 02:24:10,400
Speaker 16: they failed to make the playoffs this year, they will

2760
02:24:10,600 --> 02:24:13,640
Speaker 16: be a prime favorite for years to come. And really

2761
02:24:13,720 --> 02:24:17,160
Speaker 16: Leonel Messi's bigger impact seems to be on the business side,

2762
02:24:17,200 --> 02:24:21,520
Speaker 16: to bring eyeballs to MLS, to spike numbers on Apple

2763
02:24:21,600 --> 02:24:25,720
Speaker 16: TV's streaming service, and bring some attention to MLS which

2764
02:24:25,720 --> 02:24:29,120
Speaker 16: has remained still and is still a league and a

2765
02:24:29,200 --> 02:24:33,280
Speaker 16: sport in this country that people have doubts about, especially

2766
02:24:33,320 --> 02:24:37,760
Speaker 16: since we did this before with Pele. Remember for the

2767
02:24:37,800 --> 02:24:41,080
Speaker 16: time being, however, the greatest player in the world plays

2768
02:24:41,160 --> 02:24:44,199
Speaker 16: in America, and the Saudis had something to say about

2769
02:24:44,240 --> 02:24:47,000
Speaker 16: it as well when it comes to their own stamp

2770
02:24:47,120 --> 02:24:51,080
Speaker 16: because where Leonel Messi went to America, it was Christiano Ronaldo,

2771
02:24:51,160 --> 02:24:54,480
Speaker 16: the other great of this generation who went to Saudi

2772
02:24:54,560 --> 02:24:58,840
Speaker 16: Arabia as the country became a destination for totten top

2773
02:24:58,920 --> 02:25:03,920
Speaker 16: names like Ronaldo and Kareem Benzema and neymar Men who

2774
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:09,320
Speaker 16: we have identified with representing football in Europe for so

2775
02:25:09,440 --> 02:25:13,960
Speaker 16: many years, pushing the Saudi Super League into the spotlight

2776
02:25:14,000 --> 02:25:17,400
Speaker 16: and the staggering amount of money that the Saudis throw around.

2777
02:25:18,000 --> 02:25:20,400
Speaker 16: And we come to Europe, we come to the clubs

2778
02:25:20,400 --> 02:25:23,440
Speaker 16: of UEFA. We come to the dominance of Manchester City,

2779
02:25:23,520 --> 02:25:26,680
Speaker 16: not just in England in the Premier League, but also

2780
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:31,480
Speaker 16: in the Champions League, being the champions of Europe to

2781
02:25:31,680 --> 02:25:34,920
Speaker 16: have five trophies in a year, adding to both of

2782
02:25:34,959 --> 02:25:39,760
Speaker 16: those the FIFA Club World Cup, the FA Cup and

2783
02:25:39,959 --> 02:25:43,640
Speaker 16: the Carabao League Cup. And it all came really with

2784
02:25:43,920 --> 02:25:47,520
Speaker 16: the rising star of their young player Earling Holland, the

2785
02:25:47,680 --> 02:25:52,440
Speaker 16: Norwegian phenom who was a goal scoring machine all year

2786
02:25:52,560 --> 02:25:55,879
Speaker 16: long and remains one of their strongest pieces as they

2787
02:25:55,879 --> 02:25:58,680
Speaker 16: look to try to continue their dominance into twenty twenty four.

2788
02:25:59,080 --> 02:26:02,120
Speaker 16: But let's go to other countries. In Italy, a historic

2789
02:26:02,240 --> 02:26:06,080
Speaker 16: title for Napoli, the legendary club that was once home

2790
02:26:06,120 --> 02:26:11,480
Speaker 16: to the legendary legendary Maradonna, and yes, since Maradonna's time,

2791
02:26:11,520 --> 02:26:14,760
Speaker 16: they had failed to capture the scudetto the trophy of

2792
02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:19,640
Speaker 16: winning the Italian Syria, and they did with wonderful players

2793
02:26:19,680 --> 02:26:24,920
Speaker 16: like Victor Ossiman and Kevichka Faracelia I Hope I said

2794
02:26:24,920 --> 02:26:28,720
Speaker 16: his name right. In Spain, Barcelona rose from their financial

2795
02:26:28,800 --> 02:26:31,879
Speaker 16: ashes to claim a dominant La Liga title, even as

2796
02:26:31,920 --> 02:26:35,640
Speaker 16: they stamped for the first time a sponsor across their

2797
02:26:35,680 --> 02:26:40,400
Speaker 16: stadium and across their jerseys. In Germany, the giants Bayern

2798
02:26:40,520 --> 02:26:45,480
Speaker 16: Munich held on for yet another Bundesliga title, holding on

2799
02:26:45,560 --> 02:26:49,240
Speaker 16: for dear life and tying in points against Borussia Dortmund,

2800
02:26:49,520 --> 02:26:53,560
Speaker 16: their long rivals in the league. And in France, who

2801
02:26:53,720 --> 02:26:56,520
Speaker 16: dropped out from being the top one of the top

2802
02:26:56,680 --> 02:27:02,160
Speaker 16: five countries leagues in UEFA in twenty twenty three, falling

2803
02:27:02,200 --> 02:27:05,520
Speaker 16: behind Portugal. It seems like the end of an era

2804
02:27:05,800 --> 02:27:09,080
Speaker 16: for Paris Saint Germain, a club that has spent so

2805
02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:13,240
Speaker 16: much and so desperately wanted not just French glory but

2806
02:27:13,360 --> 02:27:17,640
Speaker 16: European glory, and chased for so long a Champions League crown,

2807
02:27:17,760 --> 02:27:21,800
Speaker 16: and appears empty handed as Leonel Messi goes Stateside and

2808
02:27:21,920 --> 02:27:25,040
Speaker 16: nam Our heads for Saudi Arabia, leaving them with Killian

2809
02:27:25,120 --> 02:27:28,520
Speaker 16: and Bape, whose future, as we'll see for twenty twenty four.

2810
02:27:28,720 --> 02:27:30,000
Speaker 2: Remains up in the air.

2811
02:27:30,440 --> 02:27:32,760
Speaker 16: So as we can prepare for twenty twenty four, what

2812
02:27:32,800 --> 02:27:35,720
Speaker 16: will the new year hold? Well, it's an even year,

2813
02:27:35,760 --> 02:27:37,360
Speaker 16: which means it's an exciting year.

2814
02:27:37,360 --> 02:27:37,959
Speaker 1: In soccer.

2815
02:27:38,280 --> 02:27:42,080
Speaker 16: Copa America, one of the two great in between World

2816
02:27:42,120 --> 02:27:45,760
Speaker 16: Cup competitions, is coming to the United States as they

2817
02:27:45,840 --> 02:27:48,519
Speaker 16: will host, and it won't just be the South American

2818
02:27:48,560 --> 02:27:51,240
Speaker 16: countries competing, but it will also be with them the

2819
02:27:51,360 --> 02:27:55,800
Speaker 16: United States, Mexico and several other top nations from the

2820
02:27:55,840 --> 02:28:00,440
Speaker 16: CONCACAF North American region, setting up for a very fun

2821
02:28:00,480 --> 02:28:04,560
Speaker 16: and a very competitive tournament, and one that the United

2822
02:28:04,600 --> 02:28:08,320
Speaker 16: States really has a chance to show how far they've come.

2823
02:28:08,360 --> 02:28:11,280
Speaker 16: In the men's game, Euros waits around the corner in

2824
02:28:11,480 --> 02:28:15,760
Speaker 16: UEFA and can England claim that title that has eluded

2825
02:28:15,800 --> 02:28:19,120
Speaker 16: them for so long, And in the club scene, the

2826
02:28:19,160 --> 02:28:22,360
Speaker 16: backdrop of the continued attempts to lift off the European

2827
02:28:22,480 --> 02:28:25,440
Speaker 16: Super League remain. It doesn't seem to go away, and

2828
02:28:25,480 --> 02:28:28,560
Speaker 16: it has pushed YUEFA to make changes to the Champions League.

2829
02:28:28,720 --> 02:28:31,320
Speaker 16: One that will be coming here in the second half

2830
02:28:31,360 --> 02:28:35,560
Speaker 16: of twenty twenty four, but most importantly, Bernie January first

2831
02:28:35,640 --> 02:28:39,400
Speaker 16: opens the transfer window across Europe and right out of

2832
02:28:39,400 --> 02:28:44,400
Speaker 16: the gate. The question is can Real Madrid make this

2833
02:28:44,840 --> 02:28:48,760
Speaker 16: work a once again reported push and maybe a final

2834
02:28:48,840 --> 02:28:52,840
Speaker 16: push to land the services of killing Embape on a

2835
02:28:52,920 --> 02:28:56,080
Speaker 16: transfer Paris Saint Germain, the club that we know Mimbape

2836
02:28:56,400 --> 02:28:59,240
Speaker 16: grew up adoring, that has wanted him for so long

2837
02:28:59,320 --> 02:29:02,280
Speaker 16: to have that star. But can they pull them away

2838
02:29:02,360 --> 02:29:03,480
Speaker 16: from the French giants.

2839
02:29:03,800 --> 02:29:05,199
Speaker 3: We will see.

2840
02:29:04,879 --> 02:29:07,440
Speaker 16: Happy New Year, Bernie, and to all those out there

2841
02:29:07,440 --> 02:29:11,920
Speaker 16: in the world of soccer, celebrate well, celebrate safely, and we'll.

2842
02:29:11,800 --> 02:29:15,240
Speaker 2: See you soon. All right, Happy to you, Chris, and

2843
02:29:15,280 --> 02:29:18,200
Speaker 2: it won't be long we'll be talking about soccer internationally

2844
02:29:18,440 --> 02:29:21,560
Speaker 2: as the Paris Olympics or just a little over six

2845
02:29:21,720 --> 02:29:25,440
Speaker 2: months away. Coming up, we wrap up the Bernie Frattle Show.

2846

2849
02:29:32,760 --> 02:29:35,840
Speaker 2: the New year, sitting in for Ben Mallory. Plenty of

2850
02:29:35,959 --> 02:29:41,000
Speaker 2: high jinks coming up, also very special guests to join

2851
02:29:41,120 --> 02:29:43,560
Speaker 2: us to try to bring some perspective as to what

2852
02:29:43,680 --> 02:29:46,520
Speaker 2: happened between the Lions and Cowboys at the end of

2853
02:29:46,560 --> 02:29:48,720
Speaker 2: the game. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to you live

2854
02:29:48,800 --> 02:29:51,920
Speaker 2: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio TIREC dot Com Studios.

2855
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:54,119
Speaker 2: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

2856
02:29:54,120 --> 02:30:01,320
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. Up on the Bernie Frattles Show.

2857
02:30:01,920 --> 02:30:03,360
Speaker 2: Before I go any further, I want to thank my

2858
02:30:03,440 --> 02:30:06,080
Speaker 2: broadcast team. They've been with me since eleven pm Pacific

2859
02:30:06,600 --> 02:30:10,200
Speaker 2: Saturday night from Los Angeles. Of course, Mark Ramsey, our

2860
02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:13,480
Speaker 2: technical producer, Kevin ware at the chef on all the updates,

2861
02:30:13,520 --> 02:30:16,640
Speaker 2: and Patrick Sweek a great job. Guys. Two of you

2862
02:30:16,760 --> 02:30:18,680
Speaker 2: three will be with me Sunday night, and as I host,

2863
02:30:18,760 --> 02:30:23,000
Speaker 2: Ben Maller, we've got some business. We've got a special guest.

2864
02:30:23,120 --> 02:30:26,000
Speaker 2: It was crazy endings tonight in the Lions game. And

2865
02:30:26,080 --> 02:30:28,920
Speaker 2: what bothers me is what the referees did was procedural,

2866
02:30:29,360 --> 02:30:33,039
Speaker 2: was not a judgment call. Dan Campbell told people postgame

2867
02:30:33,760 --> 02:30:36,120
Speaker 2: that the reason he was given that Decker wasn't eligible

2868
02:30:36,240 --> 02:30:39,400
Speaker 2: is because two players can't report as eligible, even though

2869
02:30:39,520 --> 02:30:42,360
Speaker 2: NFL Roll five, Section three, Article one says there's no

2870
02:30:42,440 --> 02:30:44,960
Speaker 2: limit to the number of players who can report as eligible.

2871
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:47,720
Speaker 2: Let's welcome in our guests. Biggest thing to come out

2872
02:30:47,720 --> 02:30:51,119
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati since Peter Rose, Roy Rogers and Hugh depold Beer.

2873
02:30:51,520 --> 02:30:54,600
Speaker 2: It's the great Andy Ferman Grant Andy, Happy New Year.

2874
02:30:54,600 --> 02:30:55,119
Speaker 2: How are you.

2875
02:30:55,120 --> 02:30:57,840
Speaker 17: Happy New Year? My idol, Bernie Froda. I can't believe

2876
02:30:57,879 --> 02:30:59,280
Speaker 17: him in the same presence as you.

2877
02:30:59,560 --> 02:31:02,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Andy. I was really looking forward

2878
02:31:02,440 --> 02:31:05,039
Speaker 2: to this conversation. I'll tell you why. Because you are

2879
02:31:05,080 --> 02:31:07,640
Speaker 2: a great historian. You remember the Don Denkins your call

2880
02:31:07,720 --> 02:31:11,120
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty five World Series, Yes, Royals, So I

2881
02:31:11,440 --> 02:31:13,880
Speaker 2: draw that comparison any because that was a judgment call.

2882
02:31:13,920 --> 02:31:16,480
Speaker 2: He blew it. This was a lot different. I love

2883
02:31:16,560 --> 02:31:18,600
Speaker 2: to hear your thoughts. You've got the floor.

2884
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:21,080
Speaker 17: You know what, though, honestly, I would say this, as

2885
02:31:21,120 --> 02:31:23,480
Speaker 17: far as the game is concerned, the drama was tremendous.

2886
02:31:23,520 --> 02:31:25,160
Speaker 17: For a fans point of view, it was a great game.

2887
02:31:25,240 --> 02:31:26,560
Speaker 17: Number one. Number two.

2888
02:31:27,000 --> 02:31:29,320
Speaker 9: I think that Dan Campbell tried to outsmart himself.

2889
02:31:29,440 --> 02:31:31,040
Speaker 17: Yeah, you could go back and look at this play

2890
02:31:31,080 --> 02:31:33,000
Speaker 17: and say, yeah, with the twenty three seconds the remaining

2891
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:35,000
Speaker 17: in the game, this was the ball game right there.

2892
02:31:35,080 --> 02:31:37,959
Speaker 17: But remember one thing he had the fake punt on

2893
02:31:38,080 --> 02:31:40,960
Speaker 17: fourth down on the Cowboys twenty. He did that, it

2894
02:31:41,000 --> 02:31:44,199
Speaker 17: was successful delay a game penalty in the fourth quarter

2895
02:31:44,360 --> 02:31:48,160
Speaker 17: that also contributed to the loss. It's just the Lions

2896
02:31:48,240 --> 02:31:50,320
Speaker 17: roles set to go for a fourth and goal on

2897
02:31:50,360 --> 02:31:53,280
Speaker 17: the Cowboys seven yard line before the penalty force of

2898
02:31:53,360 --> 02:31:55,959
Speaker 17: the settle for a field goal. He had three chances,

2899
02:31:56,280 --> 02:31:58,960
Speaker 17: Dan had three chances at the end of the game.

2900
02:31:59,520 --> 02:32:01,480
Speaker 17: Why not after the second one at least go for

2901
02:32:01,560 --> 02:32:04,400
Speaker 17: the extra point and have your luck maybe with you

2902
02:32:04,680 --> 02:32:07,000
Speaker 17: in the overtime. That's what I don't know. Getting back

2903
02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:09,920
Speaker 17: to the play, it was ugly, it was stupid, and

2904
02:32:09,959 --> 02:32:12,000
Speaker 17: it was bad. What's gonna happen Now they're gonna have

2905
02:32:12,040 --> 02:32:15,400
Speaker 17: an investigation. Nothing's gonna happen. It's not gonna be transparent.

2906
02:32:15,600 --> 02:32:17,680
Speaker 17: And the argument is going to be back again that

2907
02:32:17,720 --> 02:32:20,000
Speaker 17: they should have full time officials in the NFL. It

2908
02:32:20,000 --> 02:32:21,080
Speaker 17: always goes back to that.

2909
02:32:22,080 --> 02:32:24,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you covered a lot of good ground there. I

2910
02:32:24,040 --> 02:32:26,400
Speaker 2: talked to my piefs in Detroit before I signed on.

2911
02:32:26,879 --> 02:32:29,640
Speaker 2: Campbell's belief was they had him on the ropes and

2912
02:32:29,760 --> 02:32:32,960
Speaker 2: rather than go to a full overtime session on the

2913
02:32:33,040 --> 02:32:36,400
Speaker 2: road in a hostile environment, one play two yards. They

2914
02:32:36,400 --> 02:32:38,840
Speaker 2: believe they could do it, and technically they did. But

2915
02:32:38,959 --> 02:32:40,480
Speaker 2: you bring up a lot of good points, Andy, I

2916
02:32:40,560 --> 02:32:43,320
Speaker 2: want to harken back to the investigation because you speak truth,

2917
02:32:43,680 --> 02:32:46,039
Speaker 2: you believe there will be one. But there's not going

2918
02:32:46,120 --> 02:32:48,600
Speaker 2: to be much satisfaction for fans, and.

2919
02:32:48,600 --> 02:32:51,240
Speaker 17: It's not gonna get turned over. I mean, they may

2920
02:32:51,280 --> 02:32:53,760
Speaker 17: even admit that it was a mistake. They might do that,

2921
02:32:54,000 --> 02:32:55,800
Speaker 17: and they'll punish the officials. They won't be able to

2922
02:32:56,080 --> 02:32:59,280
Speaker 17: maybe officiate in postseason play, but big whoop, the game

2923
02:32:59,360 --> 02:33:00,440
Speaker 17: is done over.

2924
02:33:00,600 --> 02:33:01,400
Speaker 9: Dallas wins.

2925
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:05,320
Speaker 2: I'm of the belief they'll never be transparency for the refs.

2926
02:33:06,080 --> 02:33:09,160
Speaker 2: You recall last season during the USFL, they had that

2927
02:33:09,200 --> 02:33:12,519
Speaker 2: situation that when they overturned to play or it was challenged,

2928
02:33:12,600 --> 02:33:14,720
Speaker 2: you could hear what the refs were saying. I don't

2929
02:33:14,720 --> 02:33:17,440
Speaker 2: believe the NFL ever wants in transpiracy. You just pointed

2930
02:33:17,480 --> 02:33:19,520
Speaker 2: that out. Where we go from here? How do we

2931
02:33:19,560 --> 02:33:23,840
Speaker 2: improve the product? Though as it comes to referees, you know, it's.

2932
02:33:23,879 --> 02:33:26,200
Speaker 9: Very very difficult. Right now, Bernie, I'll tell you why.

2933
02:33:26,280 --> 02:33:29,560
Speaker 17: I think the advent of gambling right now creates such

2934
02:33:29,600 --> 02:33:32,760
Speaker 17: a problem, such a cloud, a dark cloud over the

2935
02:33:32,800 --> 02:33:35,960
Speaker 17: game itself, because when plays like this happen, when a

2936
02:33:36,040 --> 02:33:39,320
Speaker 17: game is so close and the gambling aspect is right

2937
02:33:39,320 --> 02:33:41,760
Speaker 17: there where everybody is so involved. And let's face it,

2938
02:33:41,840 --> 02:33:45,279
Speaker 17: the NFL is in bed with gambling. They are, They

2939
02:33:45,400 --> 02:33:48,800
Speaker 17: make money on it. It's a revenue stream for them. So

2940
02:33:49,400 --> 02:33:53,840
Speaker 17: there's always that problem a bad refereeing, But b was

2941
02:33:53,879 --> 02:33:57,320
Speaker 17: it done? Because there's gambling and points spreads on the game,

2942
02:33:57,440 --> 02:33:58,840
Speaker 17: there's always going to be that doubt.

2943
02:33:58,879 --> 02:34:02,800
Speaker 2: You know that excellent points And as someone who covered

2944
02:34:02,800 --> 02:34:05,440
Speaker 2: the Lions from ninety eight to eight, pre imposted saw

2945
02:34:05,440 --> 02:34:09,000
Speaker 2: it All Barry Sanders last year then sixteen Rod Marinelli team,

2946
02:34:09,520 --> 02:34:12,160
Speaker 2: I want to piggyback on a point. Have you amplify further?

2947
02:34:12,680 --> 02:34:15,160
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell's gone a long way and changing the culture

2948
02:34:15,200 --> 02:34:18,320
Speaker 2: from guys like Marty Morningwig who went overtime and said

2949
02:34:18,320 --> 02:34:20,160
Speaker 2: we'll take the win and we'll kick off. How'd that

2950
02:34:20,240 --> 02:34:24,120
Speaker 2: work out? So he has established a different culture. But

2951
02:34:24,720 --> 02:34:27,480
Speaker 2: maybe Andy, as you pointed out his shorts aren't clean either,

2952
02:34:27,600 --> 02:34:29,280
Speaker 2: is a little too bold for his own good.

2953
02:34:30,320 --> 02:34:32,640
Speaker 17: You know, I love the guy. I watched him on

2954
02:34:32,680 --> 02:34:34,440
Speaker 17: Hard Knocks. I fell in love with that. I then

2955
02:34:34,560 --> 02:34:37,240
Speaker 17: I mean I don't know him. He doesn't know me personally.

2956
02:34:38,000 --> 02:34:40,400
Speaker 17: I'm a tremendous letter right I write letters to people

2957
02:34:40,400 --> 02:34:41,280
Speaker 17: that I've written to him.

2958
02:34:41,400 --> 02:34:44,240
Speaker 9: Haven't heard back. Okay, I understand that I didn't expect to,

2959
02:34:44,320 --> 02:34:45,400
Speaker 9: but just to let him.

2960
02:34:45,320 --> 02:34:47,240
Speaker 17: Know I'm in his corner. I support him. I think

2961
02:34:47,240 --> 02:34:49,400
Speaker 17: he's great for the game. I think he's changed the

2962
02:34:49,480 --> 02:34:53,240
Speaker 17: Detroit Lions image. You talk about culture that it's one

2963
02:34:53,320 --> 02:34:55,600
Speaker 17: hundred eighty degrees, there's no doubt about that. But I

2964
02:34:55,600 --> 02:34:58,440
Speaker 17: think sometimes you can outsmart yourself. And when he did

2965
02:34:58,480 --> 02:35:01,160
Speaker 17: that fake punt, I said, oh my goodness, I'm scratching

2966
02:35:01,200 --> 02:35:03,960
Speaker 17: my what are you doing. I mean, it was successful,

2967
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:06,320
Speaker 17: I get it. But there were three opportunities at the

2968
02:35:06,400 --> 02:35:08,400
Speaker 17: end of the game, you know, after the first two

2969
02:35:08,560 --> 02:35:10,320
Speaker 17: and look, that pass.

2970
02:35:10,160 --> 02:35:11,080
Speaker 1: Was a bad pass.

2971
02:35:11,160 --> 02:35:13,720
Speaker 9: Of the third one bad pass by golf. I mean,

2972
02:35:13,840 --> 02:35:17,879
Speaker 9: at least go for the extra point. Throw you your look.

2973
02:35:17,720 --> 02:35:19,879
Speaker 17: Into a bag and say maybe we could take these

2974
02:35:19,879 --> 02:35:21,200
Speaker 17: guys out in overtime.

2975
02:35:21,520 --> 02:35:24,160
Speaker 2: All great observations. And you're right, And even if that

2976
02:35:24,200 --> 02:35:26,760
Speaker 2: pass had been completed, it feels like he'd have been

2977
02:35:26,800 --> 02:35:30,320
Speaker 2: tackled prior to getting into the end zone. So glad

2978
02:35:30,320 --> 02:35:32,280
Speaker 2: and you could join us. Andy, you're coming up next.

2979

Speaker 2: Tell us the folks. You got about a minute. Tell

2980
02:35:34,320 --> 02:35:35,920
Speaker 2: the folks once you got cooking for your show.

Speaker 9: We got Bucky Brooks.

2982
02:35:37,200 --> 02:35:39,119
Speaker 17: I'll tell you what, There's no one who knows football

2983
02:35:39,120 --> 02:35:41,200
Speaker 17: and sunning out better than Bucky. Played the game in

2984
02:35:41,240 --> 02:35:44,360
Speaker 17: the NFL for five years. He scouts for Jacksonville right

2985
02:35:44,400 --> 02:35:47,640
Speaker 17: now he coaches the game. He writes for NFL dot com.

2986
02:35:47,720 --> 02:35:50,400
Speaker 17: You want to know anything about football, to me, it's

2987
02:35:50,440 --> 02:35:54,720
Speaker 17: like going to class. It's like a graduate course in football.

2988
02:35:54,840 --> 02:35:57,080
