00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: Tonight we covered all. Larry Sorenson joins us in fifteen

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: minutes talk about this college realignment deal. He should know

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: a thing or two. He played the Big Ten and

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: he's a broadcaster in the acc of course, Mark Medina

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: Midnight Magic. But here, look, we got so much to

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: get to. Rather than a rundown, I want to dive

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 2: into something because college football is back, and don't tell

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: me you're not glad it's here. And it's not just

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: the game, betting, the game, the game in the field,

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: et cetera. It's gonna be there's gonna be human interest stories,

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: and there's gonna be surprises, and there's gonna be memories,

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 2: and there's gonna be highlights, and there's gonna be expectations

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: and disappointments and expecting the unexpected. There's gonna be all

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: of that. And even though today week zero is it

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: you optimal in terms of stellar matchups. It's kind of

24
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: like if your buddy invites you over to his house

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: to have a pizza. Yeah, great, I wonder what he's

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: gonna have Deep Dish, Chicago Deep Dish, or maybe we'll

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: have New York Pizza, whatever the case may be. And

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: you get there and he's got a frozen pizza. You're

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: not pissed. You're gonna eat it. You you shouldn't complain.

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: You may be slightly disappointed. You know it's not the

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: real deal, but you're gonna eat it. Frozen pizza tastes

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: pretty good. Right Well, that's kind of like what week

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: zero is. And even in week zero, you still got

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: notable events. I watched a lot of football today, took

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: a lot of notes today. And by the way, interesting

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: when we talked to Larry and fifty minutes he covered

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Sam Hartman for three years at wake Forest, saw nothing.

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: He only threw one hundred and ten touchdown passes there

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: through four more today and that's where we start. Now,

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: there's no such thing as winners and losers in Week

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: zero on college football, but there are some notable events

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: and some selected achievements. I think you've got to look at. Okay,

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: the reason this story. I'm glad Notre Dame played Week zero.

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Pretty cool event in Dublin. There the moment Sam Hartman

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: committed to Notre Dame. And again you know you saw

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: what he did at Wake Forest for Dave Clawson. All

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden, there are expectations in Notre Dame. Again,

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: so far, so good. Hartman completely dominated this first game

49
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: of the Irish forty two to three blowout, completed fourteen

50
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: to sixteen, one hundred and ninety six yards. It was

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: a man against boys. He could have gotten worse. Notre

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 2: Dame's got a long season ahead. But I will tell

53
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: you based on what I saw today, not that it

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: can't change Hartman does give the eye is your real

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: chance of being a national threat. There're gonna be some

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: speed bumps, Ohio State. I thought Notre Dame looked better

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: than USC. I think you're better on both sides of

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: the ball, not maybe offensively with Kayleb Williams. But I'll

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: tell you what that'll be fun to watch the other

60
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: side of the coin there. I have always greatly respected

61
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: the Service Academy and their football programs and how competitive

62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: they are. Air Force has always been competitive, so has

63
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: and typically so as Navy an Army. Maybe the last

64
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: three four years it's been rough, all right. Notre Dame

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: was a pretty big, big, you know, pretty big favorite.

66
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Twenty one points, right, and before the seats were warm,

67
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: it was twenty one nothing out. This game was thirty

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: five thirty two last year, and Notre Dame went with

69
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: a new coach. They hired a new guy by the

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: name of Brian Newberry Cup maybe Brian Nuby. I think

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: he played his collin football at Baylor. See what I

72
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: did there, Nuby? All right, that's not gonna stick. Forget it.

73
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: Here's here's what bugged me today. All right, Navy's down

74
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: twenty one nothing, and just as they're you know, the

75
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: first half is winding down, they put together a pretty

76
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: nice eight minute drive. They get just inside the red zone,

77
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they face a fourth and four. Now,

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: I think the prior coach would have gone for it,

79
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: because you're down twenty one to nothing. It's the first

80
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: game of the year, and you're you know, you're breaking

81
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: them a bit of a new offense as well. But

82
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: what do they do? They decide to kick a field goal?

83
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: Whooped the damn do so? That makes you twenty one

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: to three. You're set to receive the second half kickoff.

85
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: What are you doing here? All right? That doesn't help

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: you a whole hell of a lot. But you finish

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: off that drive and you go into the locker room

88
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: at halftime, different dynamic. But they didn't. They didn't. You

89
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: know what happened next to that point? Notre Dame. It's

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: scoring a touchdown, touchdown, touchdown on their only three drives.

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: Field goals ain't gonna cut it, Brian. You can't really

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: bring field goals to a touchdown fight, right, You can't

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: bring or peachhooter or do a gunfight. That's what he did.

94
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: And it's not that the choice determined the outcome. I

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: get it. It may not have mattered if they'd have

96
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: gotten a touchdown or not they missed the field goal.

97
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: What mattered was how conservative they looked. And this is

98
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: not the day time to do that kind of stuff.

99
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: That bugged me. Caleb Williams and USC well as advertised

100
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: USC puts up a fifty six burger over San Jose State.

101
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams two hundred and eighty five yards, four touchdowns,

102
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: He engineered eight possessions, scored touchdowns on six of them.

103
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: So this is a guy. Now. No one's won the

104
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy back to back years and forty years. Archie

105
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: Manning did it at Ohio State. I think the voters

106
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: get voter fatigue. Do I think you win the Heisman?

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: No?

108
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't. Could he have a Heisman worthy year? Absolutely,

109
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: and it started doing it. I thought Caleb Williams looked awesome.

110
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 2: I don't know that I can. Jason Martin brought up

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: a great point. You don't over react a weak one,

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: you don't, But I wasn't. I don't love USC's defense.

113
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: I mean, what's to love, you know? Please explain that

114
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: to me. I just wanted to see something different, and

115
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what I wanted to see, but I

116
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: didn't see it. I'll tell you that. How about Jacksonville State?

117
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: They make the jump to FBS. By the way, guess

118
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: who they're head coaches? Wrong? It's Rich Rodriguez of Michigan

119
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: Fame of Michigan Infamy as it were welcome to the party,

120
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: pal Jacksonville State their first ever contest as a member

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: of the Football Bowl Subdivision. Well, and they're the game Cocks,

122
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: by the way, for going at home. So should they

123
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: end up playing South Carolina someday? Bet the game Cocks

124
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: and you'll go away happy. See what I did there.

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: That's not gonna that's not gonna stick either. All right, newcomers,

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: Well they clip UTAP seventeen fourteen in an ESPN Instant Classic, Right,

127
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Melick Jackson, Maybe he'll be a household name. Rush for

128
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: seventy six yards. Blah blah blah, Jacksonville State. Unfortunately, stupid

129
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: or roll, they're not eligible for postseason play for like

130
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: four years. But you win that first game. Not that

131
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: one of the games that a lot of better is.

132
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: I think the pros run Ohio. They visited San Diego State.

133
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: I did not touch this game. I like the under boy,

134
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: that was a beauty. You'd like to have more like that.

135
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: I did play the under It was under forty eight

136
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: and a half. Get it up twenty to thirteen. Ohio

137
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: is a very good team. The MAX is a very

138
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: good conference. That game started out to be a good

139
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 2: fistfight in the phone booth. Unfortunately, Ohio's quarterback Curtis Rourke,

140
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: who was coming off at ACL last November, he recovered

141
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: in time to play against San Diego State. He leaves

142
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: the contest with an unspecified injury, and believe me, they

143
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: missed him. They brought in a backup named CJ. Harris.

144
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: He threw three picks. They missed a thirty one yard

145
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: field goal in the third quarter. Ohio was game, but

146
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: they just want themselves as it were. But Ohio has

147
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: the potential to win the BAC. I believe little disappointment.

148
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: You would have expected to get more out of their offense.

149
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: U Mass was a really trendy play among sharp betters.

150
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: They opened up at plus ten, it got back down

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: to seven. I talked about this last night with Rolph Michaels.

152
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: He brought up some good points. If you're not familiar

153
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: with U Mass football, here's a quick primer for you.

154
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen they were one and eleven. The COVID year,

155
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: they were zero and four. Twenty twenty one, they were

156
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: one and eleven. Twenty twenty two, Yeah, you guess it.

157
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: They were one and eleven. Got to admire their consistency.

158
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: That's three and thirty seven in the last four years.

159
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: So when you begin the season with a victory, yeah,

160
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: that's worth the celebration that follows. Give it up to

161
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: the UMass Minutmen. Three takeaways, four hundred and sixty eight

162
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: yards on offense, and they beat down. They beat an

163
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: Okay Mexico New Mexico State team forty one to thirty.

164
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: The bottom line is the value of a win. It

165
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: can't be understated. U MASS themselves just joined the FBS

166
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: ten years ago. Now week zero the only time you

167
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: hear about UMass all year but for day, for today.

168
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: Take your victory, Latin guys. It was a really terrific effort.

169
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: I went back and forth. I watched a lot of

170
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: that game, watched a lot of about five games todays.

171
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: Really I really enjoyed it. Like I said, frozen pizza,

172
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: Hey man, it'll do in a pinch, and football is back.

173
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: Look for the human interest stores as surprises, the memories,

174

00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you as always, and I, Larry,

205
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 2: I want to start. I want to give you your flowers.

206
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: Wake Forest gets to the finals of the College World Series.

207
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: You're a whisker away from knocking off lsu. I had

208
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: planned to have you on the next night. And then,

209
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: of course that's baseball. But congratulations on an not standing year.

210
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun. They had ten players drafted,

211
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: so there was a lot of talent, a lot of

212
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: great players. They've moved on and they've reloaded picked up

213
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: Chase Burns from Tennessee, who might be the first player

214
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: taking in the draft this year. Nick Kurtz might be

215
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: the first player taking in the draft this year, so

216
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: they should be stacked up pretty well again.

217
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: And of course your pitching staff sets up quite nicely.

218
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: So I think you guys would be right back next year, contending.

219
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: That it's gonna be fun. Got to get through football first.

220
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: That's right, And it is football season, and I'm guessing.

221
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 2: And of course you know Sam Hartman personally and covered

222
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: them for three years, watching him throw one hundred and

223
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: ten touchsdown passes. Did you get a chance to sample

224
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: the game today against Navy? Yeah?

225
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: I did tune in because Sam was a great kid

226
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: the entire time that he was here away forth saw

227
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: him come in as a freshman and play his entire

228
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 3: career here and a terrific athlete, but a really good

229
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: kid and a magnificent leader.

230
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: This is the fourth year.

231
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 3: In a row that he's been captain of a football team,

232
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: which I think really speaks volumes for the character of.

233
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 5: The young man.

234
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 2: Wow. So he was actually captain as a freshman that

235
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: wake four.

236
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: Well, he played he played five. He played five years

237
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: here and he was magnificent. Moved into the starting role

238
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 3: right away as a freshman with some different changes that

239
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: they had going on, then was red shirted the next year,

240
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: so it was really an interesting progression. I think the

241
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: one thing that one story I remember about Sam was

242
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: we were doing a fan fest and it had rained,

243
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: so we were underneath the stands and the football team

244
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: came in and they were all wandering around and Sam

245
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: was with the freshman class. They were about twenty of

246
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: them together and they were wondering what to do next,

247
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 3: and Sam said, let's go here, and as a group,

248
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: every single player just followed Sam. Even as a freshman,

249
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: he was the guy that took over, and people believed

250
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: what he said and followed.

251
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Him and every move that he made.

252
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 3: So quite an impressive young man.

253
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can certainly see it in his body language

254
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: and his physical attitude. He's got that heddle present. Sorry, Larry.

255
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: One of the things I really wanted to talk about

256
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: in depth tonight. I think you're uniquely qualified to talk

257
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: about it because you played in the Big Ten and

258
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: now you work in the ACC. Give me your synopsis

259
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 2: and your reaction as to what's taking place with respect

260
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: to this massive realignment.

261
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Bernie, a lot of it. I'm a fan,

262
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: just like everybody else out there. I played at Michigan,

263
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: so I follow Michigan and that's a story for another day,

264
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: but you know, I follow Michigan, and I wanted to

265
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: go to Michigan State. So I follow Michigan State. And

266
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: the greatest thing to me was about every month, every

267
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: Sunday morning Monday morning, talking to friends and talking about

268
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: the rivalry and talking about the games and what happened,

269
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: and the closeness of the league that you played against

270
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: and you knew the players on other teams. You knew

271
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: who was starting for Ohio State, and you knew what

272
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: was going on all at Iowa and you paid attention. Now,

273
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: there's giving to be so many teams, they're so stretched

274
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 3: out you don't play them every year. But I think

275
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: we've lost a lot of that, and it's just become

276
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: We've become very cynical as fans. They're just another game,

277
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: you know. There's just not as much special about the

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: games to me, and I hate to see that happen.

279
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: And I hate to see what they're making the student

280
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: athletes do in order to play some of those games.

281
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: Yes, we're going to get to that second. First, what

282
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: makes college and let's just stick with football for purposes

283
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: of this, But what makes it so great are the

284
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: rivalries because they give it texture and they give it meaning,

285
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: and they give it significance and context. And we're finding

286
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: out Oklahoma and Oklahoma State might not play anymore, you know,

287
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: Betler might not happen. So how about Michigan Michigan State

288
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: if we get down the road four years, Larry, is

289
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: there any chance that potentially goes away the in state

290
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: rival Oh?

291
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I don't think there's any doubts that it could

292
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: go away because in the ACC now they've gone to

293
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: three permanent rivals, and so wake Forest will play Georgia Tech,

294
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: they played Duke, and they played Virginia Tech.

295
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: And I believe that the.

296
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: North Carolina State Wake Forest rivalry is the longest had

297
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: been the longest running rivalry in college football, and they're

298
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: not going to play next year. So it's just crazy.

299
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: They've taken a lot away in that respect about who

300
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: you cheer for, how you cheer for them, and it's

301
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: really changed. And granted, Bernie, you and I are older,

302
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: you know, and so we enjoy remember the old days.

303
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: But there's still a lot to be said for NC State,

304
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: who is an hour and ten minutes down the road

305
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: from Wake Forest, instead of USC playing Penn State, or

306
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: USC playing Indiana or whatever the case may be.

307
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: Talking with Larry Soawrenson ten. You Major League played his

308
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: Michigan played baseball at Michigan in the Big Ten. Commentating

309
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: now in the ACC all right, I want you to

310
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: talk about the student athlete. This is important. I think

311
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: Larry and my college baseball career, we flew twice. That's it. Now. Well,

312
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: you know everything four hours or less than everything by bus.

313
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: And you know I was not a good student my

314
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: first two years. I get back, I'd sleep in I misclass.

315
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: What the hell, I'll make it up next year. Right.

316
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: The bottom line is I do all you can do

317
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: that now, But what's going to happen. We talked about

318
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: this in the phone last week. It brought up some

319
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: great points. You've got to find academic institution like Wake Forest.

320
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: If the volleyball team happens to have a game at

321
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: Stanford because the a SEC is talking about adding Stanford,

322
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: you fly back late. Talk about the imposition on the

323
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: student athlete from your vantage point.

324
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: Well, in Winston Salem they call it workfor us, and

325
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: they don't play around the other day they open up

326
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: their brand new football complex locker room and they put

327
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: about thirty eight million dollars into it. They have four

328
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: players that represented the football team they had seven college

329
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: degrees between the four players, and the fourth guy was

330
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: working on his masters and he'll have it at the

331
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: end of the year, so you graduate. Over ninety five

332
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: percent of the players at wait Forrest graduate, and that's

333
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: what they do. I remember during baseball season, Brock Wilkin,

334
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 3: the nineteenth player taking in the draft, miss batting practice

335
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: because his professor called a Sunday exam or a Saturday exam,

336
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: and it was a six o'clock game. It was a

337
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: two o'clock exam. Wilkin had to go take it and

338
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: he came running out about four point thirty, ran down

339
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: to the cage in the center field and was hitting

340
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: off the pitching to off the hitting coach in the

341
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: center field shot. So they don't let you miss class,

342
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: they don't let you miss exams. You go and they

343
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 3: monitor at the football team in particular, monitors it extremely closely.

344
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: So if you have to go to Stanford and you

345
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: have to play a game a basketball game on a

346
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: Tuesday night, you take the red eye back. You get

347
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: back at five in the morning. If you've got a

348
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: nine o'clock class, they.

349
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 5: Expect you to be there.

350
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: And I think that we're doing a disservice to our

351
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 3: athletes putting the kinds of pressures on them academically at

352
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: some places, you know, other places maybe not as much

353
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: you're expected to go, but there's a lot of schools

354
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: where you still have to go to your classes. It

355
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what time that flight got in the night before.

356
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: Right. No, No, you raise a very challenging logistical issue.

357
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 2: And let's talk about acc expansion. I understand the conversations

358
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: every NWED. They're strongly considering Stanford and col and maybe

359
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: even SMU and they might have been vote short before,

360
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: but they might be getting closer. Have you heard anything

361
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: from Jim Fildmas, What are your thoughts? Could these could

362
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: these come to fruition?

363
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: Well? I went to I think that the wild card

364
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: is that they're getting the presidents involved in the presidentcy

365
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: dollar signs and academic reputations. And they say, yeah, that'd

366
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: be great because since they're not going to take their

367
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: money for the first seven years and we get their money,

368
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 3: we get to split it up. Thanks, what do you

369
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: do to the league now of the Atlantic Coast Conference?

370
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: You're going coast to coast with the with the conference,

371
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 3: and it's just a huge difference and yeah, the money's

372
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 3: going to be great for the first seven years, You're

373
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 3: still going to trail the SEC.

374
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 5: You're still going to.

375
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: Trail the big ten in the amount of dollars that

376
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: you can raise. But there are some schools that are

377
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 3: seeing the dollar signs a lot more than the pitfalls

378
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 3: that are going to come along with it.

379
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: Arguably, the two biggest brands from a commercial standpoy At

380
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: Florida State and Clemson are unhappy with the financial arrangement

381
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: in the ACC. How problematic has that been? How much

382
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: pressure is that putting on the conference?

383
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 3: It puts a lot of pressure on them because they

384
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: are far and away the biggest brands, and they've got

385
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: the nationwide appeal that obviously Awake Forest doesn't have. The

386
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: Wake Forest has got the smallest undergrad student body in

387
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: the Power five conferences fifty fifty two hundred undergrad students,

388
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: so it's hard to compete. You could take the entire

389
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: Living Wake Forest alumni group and it wouldn't fill up

390
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: three quarters of the big ten stadiums. There's only about

391
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: seventy five thousand living graduate But when you when you

392
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: start talking about how to spread up, spread out the money,

393
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 3: it comes out equally under the grant rights that they've

394
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: got right now in the Florida States, and the clubs

395
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 3: who say, if you want us to compete with USC

396
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: or you want us to compete with Alabama Georgia and football,

397
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 3: then we've got to have more money and the funnies.

398
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: The funniest thing is is that when you break it up,

399
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 3: and they're talking about doing it based on performance in

400
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: bowl games and so on and so forth, I've seen

401
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 3: some of the charts and Florida State doesn't come out

402
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: that well from the last decade or so. Yeah, so

403
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: it's kind of ironic that that's the way they're talking

404
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: about splitting up. Wait, Forest went down there and smoked

405
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: Florida State.

406
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: Yes here it.

407
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: Is in Tallahassee.

408
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 2: Well, and you guys opened up Thursday night against Elon,

409
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: not Elon, musk Elon. But before we get to that, actually,

410
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: I definitely want to get you honest. The season goes on. Larry.

411
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: You've been involved in a unique futuristic for a couple

412
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: of years now'll called pitch logic. Bring people up to date.

413
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: Because baseball tenancies up nine percent, TV ratings are up,

414
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: games are twenty five minutes shorter. The average fan is back,

415
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: they're enjoying baseball, and so new fangled concepts like pitch

416
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: logic are getting a lot bigger audience.

417
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, you know what, I think we just have

418
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 3: to keep in mind that's part of the reason that

419
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 3: baseball is up is because it's gone back to some

420
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: of the old habits that they had, where the games

421
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 3: are faster and the pace is much much better. And

422
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 3: what pitch logic is is a tool that has sensors

423
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 3: inside of a baseball and it's major league leather wrapped

424
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: around a foll of your thank core with a circuit

425
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: board inside that gives you all the data that they're

426
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: using in the to learn the art of pitching and

427
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 3: the skill of pitching these days. And for a very

428
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: reasonable price. Instead of a really expensive permanent type machines

429
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: that you have to wheel out and measure and insert

430
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: into your stadiums, you can just take a baseball in

431
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: your telephone and buy Bluetooth can to get your spin

432
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: rates and your velocity obviously, but your arm flots, the

433
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: spin direction of the baseball, and all the different kinds

434
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: of information that are being used to teach pitching these days.

435
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: It's a phenomenal tool, and it's very easy to use,

436
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: and it's used by kids from litly all the way

437
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: to major leaguers. Had the rush one to a big

438
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: leaguer the other night, and he was going down on

439
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 3: rehab and he wanted to have one at their minor

440
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 3: league facility and his organization didn't have any, so he

441
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: wanted to take his own with him, and he needed

442
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: some new baseball to get down there.

443
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: Web Larry, great stuff, and listen. I know you're in

444
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: the Eastern time zone. I always appreciate you carving on time.

445
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: I know you're a busy guy. Good luck this season

446
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 2: with Wake Forest Football. Love to get you on again

447
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: as the season goes on.

448
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: Bunny, it's going to be a great college football season.

449
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: We were happy for Sam Harmon. Hard to be happy

450
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: for Notre Dame, but happy for Sam Harmon. It's going

451
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: to be a great college football season.

452
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: It is. You guys have been right in the middle

453
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 2: of it again. Good luck Coach Clawson.

454
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 5: Thanks Ning all right.

455
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: It's Larry Sorenson. Ten year major leaguer pitched for the

456
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: University of Michigan. They were Big Ten champs and he's

457
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: now in the ACC and has some thoughts and we'll

458
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: see where this goes. We're a little bit of uncharted territory,

459
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: as are running backs. Now. I know that Josh Jacobs

460
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: is back in camp. Dalvin Cook found a home, so

461
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: did Ezekiel Elliott, and Saquon Barkley showed up. Jonathan Taylor

462
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: trying to get things worked out. I'm gonna get my

463
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: final thoughts on the reality of the running back situation

464
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: and the objectivity, not personal feelings, objective truths. I'll share

465
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: with you what's the reality. But first let's go to

466
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: our guy Nick Cope with the latest.

467
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 6: All right, Bernie, good to be back with you. Let's

468
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 6: go around college football Week zero, real quick. As Larry said,

469
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 6: Sam Hartman a great debut for Notre Dame. He threw

470
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 6: four touchdown passes as the number thirteen Irish took care

471
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 6: of Navy in style, forty two to three in Dublin,

472
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 6: Ireland late game number six us D. He dominated the

473
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 6: second half against San Jose State, a fifty six to

474
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 6: twenty eight win. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams

475
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 6: threw for four touchdowns. Other finals, Vanderbilt hung on against

476
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 6: Hawaii San Diego State over Ohio La Tech winners over FIU,

477
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 6: UMass beat New Mexico State, and then as you touched

478
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 6: that at the top of the show, Jacksonville State winning

479
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 6: their FBS debut against UTEP. In the NFL, Aaron Rodgers

480
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 6: threw a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson as he made

481
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 6: his debut at a Jet's uniform. Dolphins and Jaguars cut

482
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 6: their preseason game short after Miami receiver Daywood Davis was

483
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 6: immobilized and carted off the field on a stretcher. Dolphins

484
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 6: announced Davis had movement in all his extremities. Buccaneers center

485
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 6: Ryan Jensen placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.

486
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 6: Brown's receiver Jakeem Grant suffered what coach Kevin Stefanski called

487
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 6: a significant knee injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs.

488
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 6: In baseball, Reds top the Dbacks eight time, seven and

489
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 6: eleven innings. Since he now within a half game of

490
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 6: Arizona for that final wildcard spa. In the NL, Cubs

491
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 6: ten to six over the Pirates. Chicago has that second

492
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 6: wildcard spat in the National League. They said four back

493
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 6: of Milwaukee in the division, and the Brewers keep on rolling.

494
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 6: They've now won seven straight, five to four over the

495
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 6: p Andres. On Saturday, Philly is still holding that top

496
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 6: wild card spot in the NL. They cruise past the

497
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 6: Cardinals twelve to one. Al side of things, Rangers beat

498
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 6: the Twins six to two that snapped an eight game

499
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 6: losing streak. Mariners crushed the Royals fifteen to two. Texas

500
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 6: and Seattle still tie to top the AL West. Ray

501
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 6: shout out the Yankees three zip Orioles over the Ronkies

502
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 6: five to four. Tampa is the top AL wild card

503
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 6: team and three back of Baltimore in the division. Also

504
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 6: the red Sons beating the Dodgers eight to five. Best

505
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 6: team in baseball. The Braves won again seven to three

506
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 6: against the Giants, and one final note here in soccer,

507
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 6: Liono Messi. Some debate if he was going to be

508
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 6: able to play his MLS debut, but he did make

509
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 6: it with Inner Miami on Saturday. He scored again to

510
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 6: help them beat the New York Red Bulls. Spurnie back

511
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 6: to you.

512
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: All right, Nick, So the running back conversation continues to

513
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 2: float through the ether, and the group think echo chamber

514
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: continues to repeat the same things over and over. I

515
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: am going to reiterate what I've been trying to say

516
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: now for quite a while. First of all, you have

517
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: to look at the game of football. It's become basketball

518
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: on turf. You put your athletes in space to make

519
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: a play, spread the field when you're one on one battles.

520
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: As such, the quarterback has become ultra important. Look linebackers

521
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: run like DB's did twenty five years ago. Defensive ends

522
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: run like linebackers used to run three yards in a

523
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: cloud of dust. Doesn't cut it. That doesn't mean the

524
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 2: running back position is still not important. Let me explain.

525
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: They are still an important cog in an NFL off.

526
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: You've got to block, protect your quarterback, hopefully, catch the

527
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 2: ball out of the backfield, get the hard yard, run

528
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: the ball between the tackles, move the change, punch it

529
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: in on the goal line, all of those things. But

530
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: you have a situation here. It's called supply and demand.

531
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 2: There are more running backs than there are jobs. You

532
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: talk to any NFL executive off the record in private.

533
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 2: The position's not been devalued. There's just an imbalanced to

534
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: supply and demand. There's no need to overpay. And here's

535
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: why let me tell you what's not lost on me.

536
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year

537
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 2: and looked good doing it. And the running back they

538
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: had that was on the field was a player who

539
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: had observed two hundred and fifty one NFL players drafted

540
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: before him. Yes, his name is Isaiah pachak Owater Rutgers.

541
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: He was drafted in the seventh round. That didn't stop

542
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: him from being the leading rusher in the Super Bowl.

543
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 2: You see where I'm going with this now, Christian McCaffrey

544
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 2: arguably the most talented running back in football. Maybe not

545
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: take your pick. You know, it's like picking out your

546
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: favorite noodlan to play the spaghetti. Could be Alvin Kamara,

547
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: could be Nick Chubb. What does it matter? He left

548
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: the minute, he not the minute, But Christian McCaffrey leaves

549
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: Carolina goes to San Francisco, Carolina's rushing attack improved. How

550
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: the hell has that happened? Running Backs are important. I

551
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: do not devalue them, and they're not replaceable, but they

552
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: are interchangeable. This is not a semantical argument. How else

553
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: can you put a seventh round draft choice who was

554
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: drafted two hundred and fifty first, he becomes the leading

555
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: rusher in the Super Bowl and wins a championship in

556
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: his rookie season. Look again, the game is so quarterback

557
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: centric now you play the game through the quarterback. The

558
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: best way to win the ball game is to operate

559
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: from the pocket. Period. Look at Buffalo. They're on their

560
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: whole offense through Josh Allen. Now Devin Singletary, who's a

561
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: stud back he left. I think he's on his way

562
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: to the Houston Texans if I'm not mistaken. They draft

563
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: James Cook in the second round last year. He doesn't

564
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: need to be a heavy volume back to give him flash.

565
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: He'll catch you out of the backfield. That's where you've gone.

566
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: Green Bay. They'll divide up their carriers between Aaron Jones

567
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: and aj Dillon. You get the picture. Ezekie le Elliott's

568
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: gone all right. So if you look at this objectively

569
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: and set your feelings out the door, just four running

570
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: backs actually have been selected in the first round in

571
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: the past four drafts. There hasn't been a running back

572
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: taken higher than twenty fourth overall since twenty eighteen, when

573
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: the Giants took Saquon Barkley with the second pick and now.

574
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: Of the eighty five running backs drafted in the last

575
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: four years, fifty nine have been taken in the last

576
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: four rounds. I could go on and on and give

577
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: all sorts just statistics. It doesn't matter cause your mind's

578
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: made up. I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

579
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you the truth. I covered the league

580
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: for ten years. I've had lots of conversations. I've maintained

581
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: all my contacts. This is not an opinion. This is

582
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: a fact. The running back position has changed because the

583
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 2: game has changed. It's basketball on turf.

584
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 5: Now.

585
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: I want to say one final thing, and if you

586
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: don't like what I say, that's a you problem. Let's

587
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: say you know your son, little Willie Logart, wants to

588
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: go be a running back. Someday I encourage him. Maybe

589
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: he'll go to college. He'll he'll do well, he get

590
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: drafted in the second round, and he'll have a four

591
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: year career in the NFL, and I'll retire a multi

592
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: multi billionaire and he'll play the position he's best at.

593
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: You're not going to get me to take up a

594
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: collection plate for Saquon Barkley, who if he ever plays

595
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: another down again in the NFL, he'll make for ninety

596
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: four thousand dollars. How about Dalvin Cook if you never

597
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: would have played another down in the NFL this year,

598
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: which he will, he makes thirty four million dollars. Can

599
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 2: you make it on that as Ikey Elliott has made.

600
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: It's seventy one million. I get it. You're not gonna

601
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: get the quarterback money. You're not gonna get the defensive

602
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: end edge rusher money or the wide receiver money. That's

603
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: just the way it is. The game has changed. The

604
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: way you prosecuted offense has changed, the EBB and flow,

605
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: the way you scheme, the way you assemble personnel groupings.

606
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: It's all changed. That doesn't mean the running back position

607
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: should be set aside in the trash heep. You don't

608
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: need to have zoom calls or go on strike, or

609
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: feel sorry for yourself or take up a collection plate. Listen,

610
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: the world evolves. We once fought wars with a single

611
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: shot rifle, the center who played it with his back

612
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: to the basket, and the NBA used to be all

613
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: that and a bag of chips. And so was that

614
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: saying like thirty years ago, I just channel nineteen ninety three.

615
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,000

622
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: peat since before World War Two? Why and why will

623
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: that be broken this year? As I think Georgia will repeat,

624
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: But there's a specific reason why we haven't seen it

Speaker 2: in the NBA, and we keep you up to date.

662
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: Of course, Now I mentioned a minute ago that there

663
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: had not been a national champion in college football who'd

664
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: won that title three years in a row since nineteen

665
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: thirty six, thirty four to thirty five and thirty six,

666
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: and that yes, wait for it, would be your Minnesota

667
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: Golden Gophers. Now it's a it's it's a really I

668
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: think it's a really simple reason why it hasn't happened.

669
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: Here's why, because up until recently, the damn thing wasn't

670
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: decided on the field. You were up to the whims

671
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 2: of voters in the AP and UPI, and they if

672
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 2: they decided they weren't going to vote for you, they

673
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: weren't going to vote for you. This was never so evident.

674
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: The nineteen sixty six Alabama Crimson tied football team should

675
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: have easily three peeded. They were eleven to zero that season,

676
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: they had six shutouts, and then the Sugar Bowl they

677
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: beat number six Nebraska thirty four to seven, completing their

678
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: quester on the table, which they did. Now the voters decided,

679
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: though that they would give a joint championship to Michigan

680
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 2: and Michigan. Check that Michigan State and Notre Dame because

681
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 2: they had that famous ten to ten tie. They must

682
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: have been smoking a joint when they gave that championship.

683
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: Bama would have hammered to either one of those teams.

684
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: They didn't get the chance to play them. Here's what's ironic.

685
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty four, Alabama actually lost their bowl game

686
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 2: to Texas, the final game of the year. That was

687
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: a Joe namth quarterback team. Obama still was voted national champion.

688
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: So see, now you get to decide it down the

689
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: field before it was decided by voters. I don't trust voters.

690
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: If I did, you tell me why the hell in

691
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: I believe it was nineteen fifty six, Jim Brown not

692
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: only did not win the Heisman Trophy, he finished fifth.

693
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 2: And my good buddy Dick Shapp said this is stupid.

694
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: He didn't vote again for twenty five years until he

695
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: voted for Marcus Allem in nineteen eighty one. But I digress.

696
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: Now it's decided on the field. I get it. Winning

697
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 2: the national championship three years is no easy task. But

698
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: George's position to do it. If you look at their schedule,

699
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: as long as they don't trip up at Tennessee November seventh,

700
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm hard pressed to find a loss. I'm not going

701
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: to be that guy who goes week by week and

702
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: can look it up yourself. What's the point I'm making here.

703
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 2: It seems almost inevitable barring something that I can't predict.

704
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 2: Their envision. Georgia should be in the SEC Championship game

705
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: and they should advance to the playoff. That's the way

706
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: I see it. And if Georgia is in the playoff, dude,

707
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 2: that's where they live. Carson Beck has won the job,

708
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 2: and he would have had to have earned it. And

709
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: they have two great receivers in lad McConkey and the

710
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: best tight end of the business and Brock Powers. They

711
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: bring in a couple of transfers Rura Thomas and Dominic Lovett.

712
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: Georgia is loaded, loaded, loaded, weapons wise, flat out, so

713
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: Carson Beck will have plenty of weapons to spread the

714
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: ball to. They also again got a couple of receivers

715
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: from Mississippi State, Missouri and the transfer Portal. They're expected

716
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: to make a large impact by the way the Georgia

717
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: offensive line, they return for starters, and they have about

718
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: ten guys that will probably be drafted again this year.

719
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: They just keep reloading. Now, believe it or not, you

720
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 2: look on the defensetive side of the ball. I know

721
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: you may not believe this, but twenty twenty two was

722
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 2: supposed to be the rebuilding year on defense, and well,

723
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: if you look at the returning production in twenty in

724
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 2: this year, twenty three starts. Up front. You got those

725
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: veterans Zion log monsr Stackhouse, Trammel, Wallthouer, Warren Brenison. Then

726
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: you got a bunch of younger guys who played a

727
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: lot last year, but they runner classes and a couple

728
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: of guys who were hurt that didn't finish the season.

729
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: Probably the area that they're maybe the most inexperienced at

730
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: is outside linebacker. But they've got a good front seven,

731
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: and the secondary returns three starters, including the National Championship

732
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: MVP Javon Bullard. He's moving to safety. Are you kidding me?

733
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 2: That's Georgia loaded. In the final analysis. Look, I'm just

734
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: gonna say it. They're not going to anywhere. They're going

735
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: to be back in the playoff and I'm hard pressed

736
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: to think that they don't win it again. We'll see

737
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 2: back to back champions. And they're just as talented now

738
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: as they've been in the last two seasons, if not

739
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: more so. And that's what happens when you start stacking

740
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: elite recruiting classes on top of each other. You build

741
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 2: a roster that's almost too good to be true. Now again, ultimately,

742
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: it's going to come down to the quarterback. Can Carson

743
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: Beck do what Stetson vented did? I don't know, but

744
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: he may not have to. He may not have to

745
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 2: because Georgia is so loaded. And somehow Kirby Smart, who's

746
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: a Nick Saban disciple, has managed to look at this

747
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: team and convince them that they are the hunted or

748
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: check it out, they are the hunters, not the hunted,

749
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: that they've got something to prove that, you know. The

750
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: expectations are people waiting for them to come back to Earth.

751
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: That's the way it always works. Someone does well and

752
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: everybody stands around waiting for him to come back to Earth. Now,

753
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 2: Georgia may not be quite as experienced as they are

754
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: as they've been in the past from day one, but

755
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: they've got a staff who's experienced, and they're confident, and

756
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 2: Georgia has enough depth, and they have an elite defense

757
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 2: to go with a big playoffense. And again don't forget,

758
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 2: they have a very manageable schedule. Look it up for yourself.

759
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: The first few games very easy. You go to Tennessee

760
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 2: and after that, well you're on your way to the

773
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 2: not far off NBA camps, not far off the NBA season.

774
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: We've got schedules, We've got conversations, We've got arguments. That's

775
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: why every week Saturday night midnight, you know it's that time.

776
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Medina Magic covers the NBA like a blanket

Speaker 2: for us, pass his finger on the pulse. There's always

778
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 2: something to talking about, even on one hundred and five

779
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: degree day, Mark II doing Buddy.

780
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 5: Buddy on the head. I mean, not just the storylines

781
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 5: that you talked about, but look, we got Fava basketball,

782
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 5: some details about Kobe Bryant's statue in duction next season.

783
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 5: Steph Curry versus Magic, Johnson debates excuuse Henderson's potential right,

784
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 5: we can take your pick wherever you want to go.

785
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 2: And we're going to get to Jannis's comment too, which

786
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: I thought was cryptic, But I want to start with

787
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: this debate Stephan Magic. Now I'm qualified to speak on

788
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: this because not only did I see Magic play in

789
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: person many times as so on court side his entire

790
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 2: rookie year, as I was an intern at the Forum,

791
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: I have met when it comes to all the things

792
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 2: point guard does, and Isaiah Thomas once told me personally

793
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: he thought point guard was the most important position in

794
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: all the sports because one man with the ball in

795
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: his hands, could dictate the movements of nine other people.

796
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm voting thumbs down. Steph Curry's not the

797
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 2: best point guard of all time. What are you weigh

798
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: in on this?

799
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, if I had to take a pick, I would

800
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 5: slightly take Magic Johnson. But look, I talked with Brandon Payne,

801
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 5: Steph Curry's trainer, earlier this week, and here was his

802
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 5: case of why he thought Steph Curry had the edge

803
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 5: over Magic Johnson. It's not just the fact that he

804
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 5: is the greatest shoot of all time, but he felt

805
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 5: like that he had all the other skills that you

806
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 5: needed a point guard, as far as being a great

807
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 5: ball handler, you know, being a good playmaker, being a

808
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 5: great leader. You know, He's been able to add a

809
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 5: lot more strength to make himself more durable, both to

810
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 5: absorb those ankle injuries, both to attack the basket. And

811
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 5: no doubt, Magic Johnson he's got more championships. He obviously

812
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 5: was a better playmaker, but Steph does have that shooting

813
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 5: edge over him, as well as the fact that he

814
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 5: has all those other skills. But I think right now

815
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 5: I would still favor Magic because he still has more championships.

816
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 5: He's a better assist and passer than Steph is. And

817
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 5: I think that even though Steph Curry no doubt is

818
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 5: a generational talent, he's changed the game and the way

819
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 5: it's played and inspired the next generation. I think you

820
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 5: also have to give Magic Johnson credit for really playing

821
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 5: a very important part with salvaging the NBA and really

822
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 5: jumpstarting into where it is now because when he entered

823
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 5: the league, you know, it wasn't have and the kind

824
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 5: of commercial success that the NBA is having right now

825
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 5: because of Magic Johnson's play, his charisma, the fact that

826
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 5: he delivered championships, some star power that really helped re

827
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 5: vitalize the commercialization in the league.

828
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 2: And of course, Magic, along with Larry Bird, did save

829
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 2: the NBA. In the decade of the eighties. There wasn't

830
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 2: a single finals played with either Boston or the Lakers

831
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 2: in there. I don't know who this gentleman you quoted.

832
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: I'm guessing he was not there. In October nineteen seventy nine.

833
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,959
Speaker 2: Magic also redefine the position. I was there. He walked

834
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,479
Speaker 2: right by me, we talked. Now this is October seventy nine,

835
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: and he's six foot nine and he's a point guard

836
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: and he can do any of those things, and he chose.

837
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: It wasn't a shooters league back then that it is now.

838
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: And I will give it up to Steph. He's a

839
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: prolific shooter. I'm not going to debate whether there's the

840
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: greatest shooter of all time. If someone wants to think that, fine,

841
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 2: you can have that. But the point guard's a multifaceted position,

842
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 2: and that's just a big leap for me to automatically

843
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 2: relegate step to that, you know, to that moniker. When

844
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: you got a guy like Magic Johnson and I was there,

845
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: and I he had to be there to see it.

846
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 2: I know that sounds cliche, but I'm telling you had

847
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 2: to be there to see it.

848
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think I would add two little wrinkles

849
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 5: here for both Magic's case and STEP's kiss. First, with Magic,

850
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 5: you mentioned about how he's, you know, six foot nine.

851
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 5: He's not that traditional point guard in terms of size.

852
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 5: I think even during that era, he showed that he

853
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 5: can be what modern NBA players can be. I mean,

854
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 5: he played center in the decisive game in the next

855
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 5: eight Finals to beat Philadelphia soventy six ers because Kareem

856
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 5: Abdul Jabbar was hurt, and you know, as we know

857
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 5: about that FOURK lore, he was on the team plane

858
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 5: and everyone else is down troted because Kareem Abdul Jabbar

859
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 5: is this Hall of Fame player, and he said, don't worry,

860
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 5: Magic's here, and you know, teammates, I rolled their eyes,

861
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 5: but he wound up becoming clairvoyant. I think in Steph's defense,

862
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 5: though he has showed that he's not just this shooter.

863
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 5: He's not this one trick pony. He has a lot

864
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 5: of skill sets. So I think that even though we

865
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 5: both are in agreement that Magic has the edge over

866
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 5: step I think it's a real credit to stuff that

867
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 5: you can make the case that he is one b

868
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 5: or even second behind him because of how much he's

869
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 5: put this complete packers together as far as skills go.

870
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 2: May sixteenth, nineteen eighty Magic's rookie year. He turned the

871
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: Lakers around in one year. They were a punchline in

872
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 2: an airplane movie. The year before Game five, Jabbar hurt

873
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 2: his hand, did not make the flight to Philadelphia. Magic

874
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: sat in Row one A one, which is Jabbar seat,

875
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 2: and said, I got this. He jump center, played all

876
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: three positions, scored forty two points. The rest is history.

877
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 2: But look, this is like arguing a favorite noodle in

878
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 2: to play the spaghetti. People are going to you know,

879
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 2: people are going to make up their minds. I want

880
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 2: to before we get to the rest of the stuff.

881
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: I want to get to Giannis's comments. Is that sort

882
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 2: of a shot across the bill at the Milwaukee Bucks organization,

883
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 2: Like I'll hang around a year or two, but if

884
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: we win, then I'm gonna look at my options exactly.

885
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, look, you got to take everything seriously. I mean,

886
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 5: he's all about winning championships and he wants to get more.

887
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 5: And while I think that the Bucks to get some

888
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 5: equity because it's not like he hasn't won one yet

889
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 5: and they have made a coaching change that suggests that,

890
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 5: you know, they will be able to rectify things from

891
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 5: their first round playoff exit, and you know, the honest

892
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 5: is healthier. But I think that this is a message.

893
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 5: You know, don't think that I'm just going to be

894
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 5: this generational talent that's with one team, like a Tim

895
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 5: Duncan or a Kobe Bryant. I think ultimately he's going

896
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 5: to wind up with the Milwaukee Bucks. His entire career.

897
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 5: But I think it's also a message that there's a

898
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 5: lot of work that has to be done to make

899
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 5: sure that he stays that way, because in his mind,

900
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 5: he's not playing with house money. Everything else is gravy.

901
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 5: He wants to be a multi championship winner, and if

902
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 5: the Bucks, you know, wind up slippering, slipping in that department,

903
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 5: he would look elsewhere. But look, I think when you

904
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 5: look at the Eastern Conference landscape, I would still put

905
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 5: the Bucks at number one here because they have a

906
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 5: healthier team, including the honest the Celics. They probably took

907
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 5: a step back with losing Marcus Smart and getting Chris Osferzingis.

908
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 5: He already has an injury this offseason, while the Celics

909
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 5: say they expect him to be available for training camp,

910
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 5: you never know. And then everything else in the Eastern Conference,

911
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 5: I mean, as we know, Philadelphia is a mess with

912
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 5: the James Harden situation, and there's no true contenders after

913
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 5: that unless the Miami Heat get Damian Lillard. So while

914
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 5: the Bucks should take you honest as comments seriously, they

915
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 5: should also look at as an opportunity because they are

916
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 5: in the driver's seat to make a championship run.

917
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 2: Talk with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night here

918
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 2: on SOX Sports Radio at midnight, Mark talk about Kobe

919
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 2: Bryant's statute. What can you tell.

920
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 5: Us, Well, it's going to be it's very poetic because

921
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 5: it's going to be on February eighth, twenty twenty four.

922
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 5: As you may know, he wore two jersey numbers eight

923
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 5: twenty four. Right, there's not a lot of detail as

924
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 5: far as what the statue is going to look like.

925
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 5: You know, the Lakers had deliberately kept those things under

926
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 5: rep and I expect that that will But you know,

927
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 5: I talked to folks like Jerry West, the guy who

928
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 5: the general former general manager who secured his raft rights,

929
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 5: Robert horri one of his former teammates during the early

930
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 5: two thousand championship runs. They certainly had their opinions about

931
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 5: what the statues should look like. Jerry West is saying,

932
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 5: you know what, we got to capture the intensity of

933
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 5: Kobe's eyes because that really showed just how much of

934
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 5: a manatical competitor he is. With Robert Orry, he was saying,

935
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 5: you know, if it was up to me, they would

936
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,479
Speaker 5: show him either at the scores table after he helped

937
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 5: the Lakers beat the Celtics for his fit NBA championship.

938
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 5: His arms stretch out why or when he has a

939
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 5: fist pump. Usually he showed that expression after any game

940
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 5: winning shot or you know, really sticking it to the

941
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 5: opponent in a tough, competitive game. But you know, I

942
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 5: think the thing that's very intriguing about Kobe is, unlike

943
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 5: a Kareem abdul Jabbar or Shaquille O'Neil or Magic Johnson,

944
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 5: three Lakers that have their own statue, Kobe didn't necessarily

945
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 5: have his signature shot. He had that patent fade away,

946
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 5: he had the ability to dunk, but he had all

947
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 5: the skill sets. So I'm really curious what the ultimate

948
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 5: image is going to be of him. But I think

949
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 5: on the other side of the ceremony, it's no doubt

950
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 5: there's gonna be a lot of emotions because it's just

951
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 5: another reminder of his tragedy and yet another moment in

952
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 5: which it won't be the same without him being a

953
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 5: part of it.

954
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 2: Time with Mark Medina, Medina manager covers the NBA like

955
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 2: a blanket forest finger on the pulse, Mark, let's talk

956
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 2: about Scoot Henderson. I know that Victor Winbinya, I'm going

957
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: to takes up a lot of oxygen in the room.

958
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,399
Speaker 2: That's just the way it is. He's a good guy.

959
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm on record as saying I think Scoot Henderson is

960
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 2: more likely to win the Rookie of the Year than Victor.

961
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Scoot Henderson's.

962
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 5: Potential, well, look, Scoot Henderson grees with you. He says

963
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 5: he thinks he win Rookie of the Year. Brandon Payne,

964
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 5: the trainer I was talking about with Steph Curry, he

965
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 5: also trains Scoot Henderson. I relay those comments to him

966
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 5: and he said, look, you know, if I play the

967
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 5: way he did, with just how explosive of an athlete

968
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 5: he is and how hard of a worker he is,

969
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 5: I would feel the same way. But the reality is

970
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 5: will he win Rookie of the Year. There's so many

971
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 5: different variables. I think when you look at the history

972
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 5: of the vote, they often calculate not just numbers, but

973
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 5: the team's winning percentage compared to the previous season. And

974
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 5: there's some unknowns, especially because we don't know if Damian

975
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 5: Loward is going to be with the team or not.

976
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 5: But I think that there could be a pathway for

977
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 5: him to win, because even though we've talked about vit

978
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 5: your web nawma, how much of his generational talent, there

979
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 5: could be some short term pains as far as how

980
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 5: he adapts the physicality. And with Scoot Henderson, he's already

981
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 5: ready made, which is athleticism, playmaking. That look, he does

982
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 5: have a weakness with his shooting. But I talked to

983
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 5: Brandon Payne, he is his shooting coach with the trainer.

984
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 5: He said, Scoot Henderson is a great shooter. It's just

985
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 5: a matter of not changing his mechanics. He says his

986
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 5: mechanics are great, but just making changes to how he

987
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 5: moves off the ball and just how balanced his body is.

988
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 5: But he says that he's been doing the work. He

989
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 5: lives basketball. He's in the gym, and so because of that,

990
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 5: he thinks that he'll really do a good job at

991
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 5: shipping away any learning curve that comes his way during

992
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 5: his rookie season.

993
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 2: I think it's I think Scoot Henderson's far more NBA

994
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: ready right now than Wemby. As a matter of fact,

995
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 2: let's have a real fun thirty second lightning roun. I'm

996
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 2: going to say my four concerns. I just thought of this. Okay,

997
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: one Wemby having to deal with big bodies of some

998
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 2: of the opponents he's going to go up against. I

999
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 2: think he's gonna have issues with defensive, rebounding defense. He

1000
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 2: struggled to play aggressively in Vegas and that was his

1001
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 2: summer league.

1002
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 5: Your thoughts, Yeah, I agree with it. I mean, look,

1003
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 5: this is some degree reactionary of This doesn't mean he's

1004
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 5: gonna be a buss. He's still going to be a good.

1005
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 2: Player, right, but even aspired it.

1006
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 5: But even prior to Summer League, I talked to some

1007
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 5: executives and they were saying, expect the physicality thing to

1008
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 5: be an issue up until year three. So I think

1009
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 5: you can make the argument maybe short term Scoots the

1010
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 5: better player. Long term victor is it'll be fascinating to watch.

1011
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know if this is going to matter

1012
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: your three. I think he's going to have issues with

1013
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 2: ballhawking defenders. Wenby likes to handle the ball, he likes

1014
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 2: to make plays for himself. He lost the ball in

1015
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: traffic multiple times, and again that was in the summer league.

1016
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: How does that change three years from now?

1017
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 5: Well, I think here's how it's going to change one,

1018
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 5: he has a skill set that shows that he doesn't

1019
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 5: have to be this brute, dominant force of a big man.

1020
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 5: He can rely on his playmaking abilities, his run protection

1021
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 5: as defender, his outside shooting potential that hasn't been the greatest,

1022
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 5: but he has the potential. Number Two, there is an

1023
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 5: expectation that he's going to bulk up again. He's not

1024
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 5: going to try to be shack. He's not going to

1025
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 5: be a bruising guy. But at least they'll have enough

1026
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 5: strength and also iq from playing NBA games to absorb

1027
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 5: that physicality. But again, so I think the larger point

1028
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 5: you're making, it could take some time, and so I

1029
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 5: very much see a pathway that Scoots could take that

1030
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year award, you Rookie of the Year

1031
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 5: award away from him.

1032
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 2: Third thing, I'm concerned about perimeter defense. He's going to

1033
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 2: have to defend wings in the league. That's going to

1034
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 2: be very tough to do. Teams are going to try

1035
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: to pull him from the paint and switching situations. He's

1036
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 2: got great lengths, but he's slow on closeouts. Even in

1037
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 2: the summer league, Brandon Miller got open against him multiple times,

1038
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 2: knocked down outside shots. How does that change.

1039
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 5: Well, look, in today's NBA, you guys defending all positions.

1040
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 5: I know that was a lot of that was made

1041
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 5: with Rudy Gobert during his time with Utah. Hey, great protector,

1042
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 5: can't defend wings. But I think what the Spurs are

1043
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 5: going to do is surround him with wings so he

1044
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 5: doesn't have to do that. That doesn't mean that he

1045
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,479
Speaker 5: won't have that responsibility of switching out perimeters, but he's

1046
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 5: such a good defender in the interior that I think

1047
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 5: that the Spurs will be able to play chefs in

1048
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 5: a different way against opponents when they try to put

1049
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 5: him in bad defensive matchups.

1050
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 2: Final thing, and I'm just raising questions, not trying to

1051
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 2: be critical. Defensive rebounding Winby struggled with I believe the

1052
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: inability to locate the balls the rim. Sometimes here in

1053
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 2: the Summer League, at times his reactions were actually a

1054
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 2: second slower than other players on the court. And again

1055
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 2: that was the summer League.

1056
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 5: Your thoughts on that, Yeah, I think that's part of

1057
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 5: just being more educated with the game, and that has

1058
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 5: less to do with physicality and more to do with

1059
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 5: timing and being able to anticipate things, but because of

1060
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 5: his work ethic effect that he has good IQ already.

1061
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 5: I think that that will immediately be addressed during his

1062
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 5: rookie season.

1063
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,879

00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 9: It's it's not a morning afternoon thing.

1115
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 2: I maybe it's just not an off day.

1116
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, an off day. I drive down you know what

1117
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 9: you drive down?

1118
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1119
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 4: You know. Listen, Actually you want to hear something crazy, Yeah,

1120
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 4: let's hear it. So the Phillies are in San Diego

1121
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 4: September sixth. There you go, and I think I'm going

1122
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 4: to go down.

1123
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question. What time do

1124
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 2: you leave your house? Would you leave your house on

1125
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 2: that day to get get down to San Diego?

1126
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 9: I got it, Well it's a one fifteen ball game.

1127
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm guessing.

1128
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 4: I gotta leave at ten am.

1129
00:58:58,920 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 3: You know.

1130
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: There you go. So look, just to set the record straight,

1131
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 2: because we do a research here on the Bernie Frattle Show.

1132
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 2: If you assuming you live at the Sherman Oaks Studios

1133
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 2: there where you are right now three hours and thirty

1134
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 2: five minutes, that's it. Three hours, and you're there one

1135
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty miles and that that accountcert traffic and everything.

1136
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 2: So the theory perhaps that if you left at seven am,

1137
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be there two or three. That's just silly,

1138
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: just silly. You got the last word on this.

1139
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean anywhere you want to go, Go up

1140
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 4: to San Francisco too, you can do that, get there

1141
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 4: in four and a half hours.

1142
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:37,439
Speaker 2: I'm going to come back to you in a second.

1143
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 2: I want to ask you both one question. We've been

1144
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 2: force fed with Victor Wemby. I've been around a long time.

1145
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 2: I hope he makes it. I don't care, Nick Coole,

1146
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 2: would it surprise you if Wemby just became like a

1147
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 2: good player, another dude instead of this transcendent all world

1148
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 2: behemoth that we're being sold.

1149
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 10: No, wouldn't surprise me.

1150
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 6: And I always get nervous with tall guys and feats

1151
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 6: and knees, and I I don't wish that at all,

1152
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 6: But we've seen that so often with.

1153
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 10: These heralded big guys.

1154
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 6: I think about Grego with obviously Bill Walton long time ago.

1155
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 6: How about Cheed Holmgren. We still haven't really seen him

1156
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 6: play all that much, So no, I would not be surprised.

1157
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 11: Thoughts on Wimby, Yeah, I mean I'm never gonna, you know,

1158
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 11: wish obviously, like you guys are never gonna wish upon

1159
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 11: any type of thing where he, you know, doesn't last

1160
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 11: long in the league or anything like that.

1161
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 4: I I don't think he's he's gonna be a bust.

1162
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be good for the league. I

1163
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 4: don't think he's gonna be like a a staple name,

1164
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 4: but I think he will be you know, I think

1165
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 4: he'll be like a top top fifty player in the league.

1166
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be a bust, not

1167
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 2: at all. But I don't think early on he's gonna

1168
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 2: have anywhere near the impact that other transcendent stars did.

1169
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna start naming them, but I'm gonna give

1170
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 2: things have a context. And coming up in a second,

1171
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,959
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about the Detroit Lions and why

1172
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 2: I absolutely believe them this year and I'm qualified to

1173
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: say that and I'll bring my receipts and I'm going

1174
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: to tie it into what I would consider to be

1175
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 2: the winby situation, and of course one other name that

1176
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 2: you're hearing that people are hoping have a big year

1177
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: to easier quarterback at Chicago, And I want to begin

1178
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 2: with a narrative I'll share with you guys, and when

1179
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 2: you put it in this context, you start to look

1180
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 2: at things a little differently. We're gonna get to all

1181
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 2: that word solid stuff here in just a minute, but

1182
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: first let's go back to our guy Niicope with the latest.

1183
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 6: All right, Bernie, let's recap the college football games. We

1184
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:54,200

1188
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 6: Sam Hartman the new quarterback for Notre Dame. He was great,

1189
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 6: four touchdown passes for him. Vanderbilt hung on against Hawaii

1190
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 6: thirty five to twenty eight, San Diego State and beat

1191

Speaker 6: spot in the National League, Cubs ten to six over

1197

1198
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 6: They sit four back of Milwaukee in the division. Brewers

1199
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 6: just keep on rolling. They've won seven straight, edging the

1200
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 6: Padres five to four. Philly's still holding that top wildcard

1201
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 6: spot in the NL. They cruise passed the Cardinals twelve

1202

1225
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Alrighty, Nick, I'm gonna ask you a question. I'm gonna

1226
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: ask Ethan the same question.

1227
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 10: Okay.

1228
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 2: So folks have hopes, high hopes for Justin Fields, and

1229
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 2: this is my take on Justin Fields. High character individual,

1230
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 2: world class athlete. He does have a cannon arm. He

1231
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 2: can run like the wind, which is great. If you're

1232
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 2: entering a punt passing kick competition list, of course, you're

1233
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 2: going up against thirteen year old Andrew Reid. If you

1234
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 2: don't know what I'm talking about, google it. It's an

1235
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 2: all timer. That doesn't mean he can prosecute an NFL offense.

1236
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 2: The difference between running an NFL offense and a college

1237
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 2: offense is dramatically different. Yes, Justin Fields is a dual

1238
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 2: three quarterback, but his default mechanism is to run, so

1239
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 2: he's a run first, throw second. He's not real accurate.

1240
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean he can't have a great career. But

1241
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 2: here comes the question. So I'm gonna let me let

1242
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 2: this out ask both of you. Let's say, guys that

1243
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 2: Justin Field starts thirty eight games the next three years,

1244
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 2: he goes twenty five and thirteen as a starter. The

1245
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 2: Bears make the playoffs two of those three years. He

1246
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 2: throws sixty five touchdown passes against only thirty seven interceptions

1247
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 2: and complete sixty seven percent of his passes. Nick, I

1248
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 2: can repeat those numbers, but you probably heard him. Would

1249
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 2: you if Justin Field did that the next three years,

1250
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 2: would that be successful?

1251
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 6: I think that would be successful. It'd be a lot

1252
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 6: better than what he has shown so far. I have

1253
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,439
Speaker 6: a feeling where this is going, but just continually.

1254
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: Right, don't steal my thunder just yet, Ethan. Would you

1255
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 2: like me to repeat those numbers? I can? I mean, yeah, okay.

1256
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 2: So let's say Justin Field starts the next three years,

1257
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 2: he starts thirty eight games, his one lost record is

1258
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 2: twenty five and thirteen. The Bears make the playoffs two

1259
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 2: or three years, he throws sixty five touchdowns against thirty

1260
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: seven interceptions, complete sixty six percent of his passes. And

1261
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 2: just for fun, let's say the Bears go twelve and

1262
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 2: four in one of those years, even though we now

1263
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: know they play seventeen games. Would that be successful, Ethan?

1264
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 2: Would they call Justin Fields's success?

1265
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1266
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 4: I mean, if here's the thing as much of a

1267
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 4: success of like not winning a Super Bowl? H Yeah,

1268
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 4: I mean, uh, that's that's a fine career in mind.

1269
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 2: Yes, he's pretty good to me, doesn't it.

1270
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, seems pretty good to me too.

1271
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 2: Well, guess who did that, Mitch Trubisky. Those are the

1272
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 2: exact numbers that Mitch Trubisky put up. And oh, by

1273
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 2: the way, that twelve and four year in twenty eighteen,

1274
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 2: which mint when Mitch Trubisky was handed the keys of

1275
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: the car. The Bears not only went to the playoffs,

1276
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 2: they would have won a damn playoff game it have

1277
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 2: had it not been for the double doing field goal

1278
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 2: by Cody Parkey. So Mitch Trubisky's last three years, he

1279
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 2: was twenty five and thirteen, went to the playoffs two

1280
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: or three years, completed sixty seven percent of his passes,

1281
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 2: sixty five touchdown, thirty seven interceptions, and they call him

1282
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 2: a bum. There's no guarantee justin field to do that.

1283
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 2: That's why I brought that up about Wemby. How do

1284
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 2: we know what is going to be our standard of

1285
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 2: measure as to just how great he is? We're told

1286
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 2: he's going to be transcendent. Look, this is why we

1287
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 2: do this. It's fun. We're not saving lives here. We're

1288
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 2: not creating world peace for talking sports. Right, sports are

1289
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 2: a metaphor for life. Uh, Nick, did you know where

1290
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 2: I was going with a Did you know it was

1291
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 2: gonna that was gonna be Trubisky?

1292
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 6: Well, you said something about the Lions before the update.

1293
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 6: I thought there was gonna be some sort of Jared

1294
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 6: Goff comparison.

1295
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,919
Speaker 2: I love golf. Go ahead, I'm sorry I started sawing

1296
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 2: that right there.

1297
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 10: No, that's that's all I everybody treats.

1298
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 2: GoF like a bastard child. He comes out of col

1299
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 2: with a cannon arm. He's drafted number one overall. Yes,

1300
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 2: I know the Rams have the bad taste in their

1301
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 2: mouth because they ran into Build Belichick's defense and they

1302
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 2: lost thirteen to three. I got news for you. Stafford

1303
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 2: wasn't winning that game either, So we goff falls into

1304
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 2: this favor. Now, look what he's doing with the Lions.

1305
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 2: The point of the matter is these things are so

1306
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 2: highly subjective, right, you just don't know speaking with the Lions.

1307
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 2: Why do I believe the Lions are for real this year?

1308
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 2: And I covered this team for ten years pre and

1309
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 2: post saw it all ninety eight was Barry Sanders last

1310
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: year two thousand and eight, Rod Marinelli went ohen sixteen,

1311
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 2: saw everything in between, Matt Millon fifty games under five hundred,

1312
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 2: all kinds of craziness. Now, we talked about this. I

1313
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 2: talked about this in my Weekly spot with Aaron and

1314
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 2: Aaron Torris and Jason Martins, Guy's Great Show every Saturday

1315
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: night from seven to eleven. Look the last time the

1316
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 2: Lions won a playoff game was January fifth, nineteen ninety two.

1317
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 2: They crushed Dallas and Jimmy Johnson thirty eight to six.

1318
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 2: John Madden was on the call that day. He said,

1319
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 2: you're looking at the two teams of the nineties. He

1320
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 2: was half right. Dallas went on to win three Super Bowl.

1321
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: The Lions have not yet won a playoff game since.

1322
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 2: And it's been thirty one years, but they've actually gotten

1323
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 2: to the playoffs eight times. They just haven't won one.

1324
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 2: Even after that ninety two game was from the ninety

1325
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: one season. Two years later, they hosted a playoff game

1326
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 2: in the Silver Dome, a game I was at against

1327
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 2: the Packers. They were leading twenty four to twenty one

1328
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 2: in a minute to go, and somebody lost coverage and

1329
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 2: far through a ball about sixty five yards in the

1330
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 2: year and I think Sterling Sharp camped under it, and

1331
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 2: the rest is history. The whole stadium went silent. So

1332
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 2: what's going to be different? I know, the many you

1333
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 2: bring up the Lions, people say, oh, Samuel, Lions, I'm

1334
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 2: not going to hold this team accountable for things that

1335
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: happened before they were born. This is what caused me

1336
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 2: to flip and I think the world of Dan Campbell,

1337
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 2: and I think the world of Brad Holmes their GM.

1338
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 2: He's really drafted well. But something happened last year that

1339
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,560
Speaker 2: no one is talking about. The Lions start one and

1340
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 2: six and Dan Campbell made a command decision. He fired

1341
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:03,719
Speaker 2: defensive back Aubrey prot Aubrey Pleasant, and it wasn't pleasant.

1342
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 2: His risk rewards scheme was ineffective. It was causing all

1343
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 2: kinds of communication problems, breakdown, blown assignments. The lines were

1344
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 2: getting beat on the back end. They fired Aubrey Pleasant,

1345
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: they installed a new, much simpler system and at work.

1346
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:24,520
Speaker 2: Guess what the lines were eight and two down the stretch. Additionally,

1347
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: they got to the offseason, the lines know they knew

1348
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 2: they needed to get better in the secondary. So what

1349
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 2: do they do. They go out and get cornerback Cameron

1350
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 2: Sutton from the Steelers, a quality acquisition from a great culture.

1351
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,879
Speaker 2: They pick up safety Chauncey Gardner Johnson from the Eagles

1352
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 2: they were just in the Super Bowl. A quality individual

1353
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 2: they obtained from a great culture. And they also get

1354
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 2: cornerback Emanuel Moseley from the San Francisco forty nine ers.

1355
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 2: All big upgrades, all will step in day one and

1356
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 2: have an impact, all from superior cultures. They also draft

1357
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: Jack Campbell, a linebacker out of Iowa, a beast, a

1358
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 2: great open field tackler. They may not be the fastest

1359
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 2: guy in the world, but I'm kno getting tomorrow Rocky. Look,

1360
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 2: they're already calling him Jack Lambert, which is an homage

1361
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 2: to the former Steelers Hall of Famer. Plus, did I

1362
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 2: mention the Lions have the ninth easiest schedule in the

1363
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,560
Speaker 2: National Football League This year, They'll play teams with the

1364
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 2: cumulative record of a four to ninety two winning percentage.

1365
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 2: One other thing, could the stars be aligning? The Lions

1366
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,799
Speaker 2: will play the Chiefs a week from Thursday. They opened

1367
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 2: up as a seven point underdog. They're now a six

1368
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 2: and a half point underdog. Guess who's not going to

1369
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 2: be playing in that game for the Chiefs at least now,

1370
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,520
Speaker 2: sure as hell doesn't look that way. They're best defensive

1371
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 2: player Chris Jones, and oh, by the way, the last

1372
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 2: time Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes faced off on Monday

1373
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 2: Night football years ago, eight hundred ninety one yards total passing,

1374
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 2: eleven touchdowns, one hundred and five points and Jared Goff

1375
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 2: prevailed fifty four to fifty one. You know, there's been

1376
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty occasions in the NFL where a

1377
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 2: team scored fifty points. Only once did the team who

1378
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 2: scored fifty points lose. Casey scored fifty one that night,

1379
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 2: lost fifty four to fifty one to Jared Goff, and

1380
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 2: the ram fans want to hate on him. I don't

1381
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 2: think so. Not having it. By the way, the Lions

1382
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: play Seattle Week two. Guess who's not going to be

1383
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 2: playing for Seattle Week two? Another big time loss in

1384
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 2: my opinion, wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba. I believe

1385
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 2: in the Lions. I believe in their culture and if

1386
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 2: you look at the rest of the division, yes, Minnesota

1387
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 2: deserves a lot of credit for what they did last year,

1388
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 2: and people would lose their minds when we told the truth.

1389
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 2: In Minnesota. There's a thing called the Pythagoream theorem. The

1390
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 2: Vikings won thirteen games last year, but they act act

1391
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: we're outscored by three points cumulatively for the entire season.

1392
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen. Last year. I tried to warn everybody

1393
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 2: who were Raiders fans they'd gone ten and seven and

1394
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, and in the Pythagoream theorem, they had

1395
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 2: a similar situation. It was going to come back to Earth.

1396
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 2: It projected to a seven and ten season. I was

1397
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 2: wrong and Raiders were six and eleven. And I don't

1398
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,839
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be much better this year. The Vikings,

1399
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 2: they're not going to fall do all the way down

1400
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 2: to six and eleven. No, but I'm looking at a

1401
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 2: nine to eight team this year. That's where I see

1402
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 2: the Vikings. The Pythagoram theorem doesn't lie, nor does it

1403
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 2: lie in baseball. If you give up more runs, if

1404
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 2: you give up more points than you score, you're always

1405
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 2: going to regress back to the meet. I expect that

1406
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 2: to happen to the Vikings this year. Also, the Vikings

1407
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 2: were seven to zero in one score games last year.

1408
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 2: That doesn't carry over into the next season. I really

1409
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:54,839
Speaker 2: been doing this for about thirty years. Watch if I'm wrong. Hey, fine,

1410
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 2: we'll talk about it. I'll take my medicine. I don't

1411
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 2: think I'm going to be wrong. Chicago Bears, they are

1412
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 2: a long ways away. They won three games last year.

1413
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 2: They're not ready. I'm not convinced from what I see

1414
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 2: with Justin fields, still not letting them do a whole

1415
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 2: hell of a lot. Last week he completed three passes

1416
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 2: for negative seven air yards and DJ Moore in company

1417
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 2: they add up to about one hundred and fifty yards

1418
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 2: and after the catch yards after the catch. Nothing wrong

1419
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 2: with that, But I think defensive coordinators are going to

1420
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 2: make life very difficult on Justin fields this year. We'll see,

1421
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,639
Speaker 2: we'll see, and then that leaves to Green Bay Packers

1422
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 2: a very good roster. They couldn't get to the playoffs

1423
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 2: with Rogers last year. Nothing against Jordan Love. Don't tell me,

1424
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 2: show me he hasn't gotten on the field in three years,

1425
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 2: because I think they're serious question marks. I think he'll

1426
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 2: have a good game and in not such a good game.

1427
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,639
Speaker 2: I think he'll be very inconsistent this year. Again. Could

1428
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 2: I be wrong? Fine, don't give me the speech. Don't

1429
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 2: tell me. Show me what I'm seeing in the Lions

1430
01:14:55,160 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 2: are the stars are lining up? We'll see. I nobody's

1431
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 2: gonna selectively forget. They can't wait to play Gotchat week eight.

1432
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 2: If the Lions are three and five, knock yourself out.

1433
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 2: But I call him as I see him. The show

1434
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 2: is tonight, and I think the Lions did enough the

1435
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 2: last ten games of the season last year, Boo to

1436
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 2: convince me this is not the same organization or the

1437
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 2: same culture. They did it on the field as well.

1438
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 2: It was a real gut check when they went into

1439
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 2: green Bay and beat them in Lambeau to keep green

1440
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 2: Bay out of the playoffs, even though the Lions knew

1441
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 2: they couldn't get in because Seattle had won earlier in

1442
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 2: the day. You know, we've done this multiple times on

1443
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 2: this show. Every year eighteen to the last twenty years,

1444
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 2: somebody goes from last to first. Well, the Lions weren't

1445
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 2: the last place team last year, but this is a

1446
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 2: league where there's a lot of parody and teams can emerge. Now,

1447
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 2: they may get a rough start of it. I don't know,

1448
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 2: but if you consider all the things I laid out,

1449
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 2: I believe the Lions will have a good year. We

1450
01:15:55,720 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 2: shall see coming up college expansion. In terms of the realignment,

1451
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 2: h might not be over. There are some conversations in

1452
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 2: the ACC this past week. I'll share with you what

1453
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 2: was said. I'm Bernie Friddle. We're company live from Las Vegas,

1459
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a role call of all the NFL

1460
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,759
Speaker 2: teams who made the playoffs last year. Like musical chairs,

1461
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 2: who's getting left out this year? What goes up must

1462
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 2: come down. We'll give a brief synopsis on each team

1463
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 2: and what I think their chances are to get back

1464
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 2: out of the dance and some who might not be

1465
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,919
Speaker 2: so fortunate. Tonight show brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

1470
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 2: You heard LARRYS. Sorenson with me at eleven fifteen Pacific.

1471
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 2: The ACC is once again strongly considering adding Stanford, cal

1472
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 2: and SMU. Yep, you heard that right. There was an

1473
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: initial push right after the Pac twelve collapsed, but it

1474
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 2: seems to have new life the conversations are gaining momentum,

1475
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:33,640
Speaker 2: and the crux is, of course financial. The ACC is

1476
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 2: falling behind in the financial race with the SEC and

1477
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 2: the Big ten and their two biggest brands Florida State

1478
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 2: and Clemson. They are not happy with the current arrangement.

1479
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 2: Here's why this might happen. SMU has already said they're

1480
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: willing to join the ACC without being paid a TV

1481
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 2: revenue distribution for many years. I think Larry said seven years.

1482
01:17:56,080 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 2: Stanford and Cal they perhaps would come at every day straight,

1483
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 2: potentially as little as twenty five percent of the league

1484
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: standard distribution. Well, that would leave a large portion of

1485
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 2: new TV revenue created by the three added schools that

1486
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 2: would be dished out to the charter members of the

1487
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 2: ACC right now, and apparently the league is reportedly currently

1488
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:26,679
Speaker 2: reviewing these different financial models. If this comes to pass, well,

1489
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 2: I guess it would provide a respite and a life

1490
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: raft for two of the most prestigious academic schools in

1491
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 2: the entire Power five, Stanford and Cal. But now, like

1492
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 2: Larry said, instead of the ACC, you're going to have

1493
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 2: the Coast to Coast Conference. What's it going to be

1494
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 2: like when Stanford and Cal go to Virginia on a Tuesday,

1495
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 2: I have to play a volleyball game. But you're getting

1496
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 2: tired of hear into that scenario, and so am I.

1497
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 2: The bottom line, this is the new world we're in.

1498
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 2: Adapt or die. Better get used to it because we're

1499
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 2: not going back. Everything's driven by the almighty dollar, and

1500
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 2: I understand it's the only way these programs survive. Who

1501
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 2: will survive in the NFL this year? Get back in

1502
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I'll tell you. I'm Bernie Frattle, come to

01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:34,600
Speaker 2: the NFL is in zero sum game. Every club that

1526
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:39,799
Speaker 2: graduates into the Super Bowl Tournament, well they're relegating somebody

1527
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 2: else into well also ran status. Just the way it is,

1528
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 2: there's no guarantee if you got in last year, you're

1529
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 2: getting in this year. What we've tried to do is

1530
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 2: ranking order of probability teams that were in the tournament

1531
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 2: last year we'll get back in this year. And I'm

1532
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 2: gonna start with Ethan's Philadelphia Eagles. Now, their schedule is

1533
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 2: among the league's toughest based on the twenty twenty two

1534
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 2: opponents winning percentages. And you got a couple of new coordinators,

1535
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 2: and you've got different starters at running back and linebacker.

1536
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 2: But this team is mostly intact. They drafted well, added

1537
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 2: some studs on defense. I think if you put on

1538
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 2: paper the roster from top to bottom, I think the

1539
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 2: Eagles had the best roster in the NFL. So, barring

1540
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 2: something horrible happening to Jalen Hurts, it's tough to imagine

1541
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 2: a scenario where the Eagles aren't one of the best

1542
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 2: seven in the NFC to get back into the playoffs.

1543
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 2: I think they're the most likely team to get into

1544
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs of the group that was their last year.

1545
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 2: Second tired of hearing about the Buffalo Bills. Now they're

1546
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 2: gonna fade based on what. Look at the hell they

1547
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 2: had to go through last year. Had to go back

1548
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 2: to Detroit four days in a row or back to back,

1549
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 2: and four days ever Thanksgiving because of the snowstorm, could

1550
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 2: have played at home, had to horrible Hamlin situation, Von

1551
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 2: Miller got hurt. They were the preseason Super Bowl darlings.

1552
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 2: A year ago. They were still thirteen and four. I

1553
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 2: think they'll figure out the Stephan Diggs thing if Von

1554
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 2: Miller stays healthy, Travarius White, Micah Hyde, DeMar Hamlin, and

1555
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 2: they just have a decent run game and a decent

1556
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 2: pass defense, which they've already upgraded this year. Yes, they

1557
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 2: have a tough schedule, they have an imposing division. They've got,

1558
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:27,759
Speaker 2: you know, a little bit of a voltable wide receiver

1559
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 2: in Stefvan Diggs. But I think he's a pro and

1560
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 2: I think he'll get it together. And they've got an

1561
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 2: offense that Josh Allen, you know, sometimes tries to do a

1562
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 2: little too much. But this team is very capable and

1563
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 2: it needs to go to Buffalo. Buffalo will be back

1564
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. So are the forty nine ers. You

1565
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 2: lose Tomko Ryans great defensive coordinator Nick Bosa has been

1566
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 2: a holdout. You got an offensive line that's got questions.

1567
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,640
Speaker 2: But look, I believe in Brock Party. Everybody's waiting for

1568
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 2: him to come back to Earth. Why why based on

1569
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 2: what he had eight games, didn't lose a single game.

1570
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 2: He commands that offense like a magician. I'm not looking

1571
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 2: at paint pine numbers out there. I'm looking at a

1572
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,640
Speaker 2: real artist. Maybe he doesn't run fast, you don't like that,

1573
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,759
Speaker 2: or maybe he's not you know, can't jump over tall billings,

1574
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 2: you don't like that. He knows how to play quarterback.

1575
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 2: And let me tell you, he came through for the

1576
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 2: for the forty nine ers last year. Now he may

1577
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 2: not bat a thousand this year, but I think he's

1578
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 2: going to be just fine. Jacksonville they're also for real

1579
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 2: thanks to Trevor Lawrence. Don't misinterpret the Jags as a

1580
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 2: fluke going to ten and seven, Lawrence, those four picks

1581
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 2: in a in a freaking playoff game, and then it

1582
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 2: turns around and those four touchdown passes in the second

1583
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 2: half and they take down the Chargers. I love Doug Peterson.

1584
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,759
Speaker 2: I love the Tony set and the state of affairs

1585
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 2: in the AFC South. The Jacks should have no trouble

1586
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 2: going through that division. They should be five to one

1587
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 2: of their division. They should own that division. Now the

1588
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,640
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans that they will be approved improved, But the

1589
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,599
Speaker 2: jack had the best quarterback and you know, the most

1590
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 2: balanced on both sides of the ball, with a great coach. Now,

1591
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,599
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, they're gonna be back in the playoff. Remember

1592
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 2: they were eleven and six last year. And I don't

1593
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 2: don't think just because i'm you know, they're listed fifth here.

1594
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 2: They're the league's fifth best team. That would that's our ages.

1595
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 2: They're murderers row. They're fantastic, and they do have a

1596
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 2: tough schedule this year. It's not easy to win an

1597
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 2: eighth straight AFC. West crown Or hosts the conference title

1598
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 2: game for the sixth year in a row. And yeah,

1599
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 2: you're breaking in a new pair of offensive tackles and

1600
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 2: you had to wave goodbye to Eric P. Enemy and

1601
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 2: I like Eric P. Enemy. Okay, that's not insignificant, and

1602
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 2: the depth of the AFC is really the crux of

1603
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 2: hy KC might only win eleven games, ten games, but

1604
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 2: ten eleven or twelve, they're not gonna go fourteen and

1605
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 2: three and they're not okay, But as long as you

1606
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 2: got Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, you are not going

1607
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 2: to be sitting home in January booking. I like the

1608
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,679
Speaker 2: Seahawks too. They were a wildcard team in twenty twenty

1609
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 2: two and they I think they're improved and they keep

1610
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 2: bringing in new young talent to infuse what they had before.

1611
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 2: They don't miss Russell Wilson. I like Listen. There's always

1612
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,640
Speaker 2: the chance, but I'm not predicting it. There's always a

1613
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 2: chance Gino Smith could revert to his Jets iteration. But

1614
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 2: it seems more plausible to me that Seattle not only

1615
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 2: he's back in the playoffs, but they take a step

1616
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,799
Speaker 2: up and they win the NFC West. It could happen.

1617
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 2: Let's see Cincinnati, all hands on deck, the best team

1618
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 2: in the AFC North. I think Joe Burrow will be back.

1619
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow will be fine. They're nursing him through right now,

1620
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 2: and they're in a tough division. It's not going to

1621
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 2: be easy to come out and top. But as long

1622
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,679
Speaker 2: as you got Jamar Chase healthy, Joe Burrow healthy, and look,

1623
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 2: I think they're better suited to half success in the Browns,

1624
01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,759
Speaker 2: maybe even the Ravens. As long as it's is Burrows

1625
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 2: injured calf heels and doesn't come back to haunt him anymore.

1626
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bengals are that vulnerable. I like

1627
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 2: lou Ana Rumo's defense as well. The Bengals would be

1628
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 2: back in the playoffs now the Cowboys. I'm going to

1629
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:17,439
Speaker 2: hold my nose and say that they're likely to be

1630
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. This one I'm a little concerned about.

1631
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,680
Speaker 2: They got Barney Robol as their head coach, and they

1632
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 2: got a quarterback who's a turnover machine. And you know

1633
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 2: it now. If you set that aside, though, that was

1634
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 2: an offense that really was highly effective under Kellen Moore.

1635
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 2: Their offensive coordinator, who's not gone, he's gone to the Chargers.

1636
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 2: Right now, you've got Mike McCarthy, he's gonna call place.

1637
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 2: But the Dallas defense, to me, is so good. You

1638
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 2: still got your twenty nineteen Defensive Player of the Year

1639
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 2: Stefan Gilmour. I would say that Dallas will be in

1640
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 2: every game because of their defense, and they might end

1641
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 2: up nine to eight or something. But in this man's NFL,

1642
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 2: seven of the sixteen teams make the playoffs. So I'm

1643
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 2: gonna hold my nose and put Dallas in there. I'm

1644
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 2: also gonna put Baltimore in there as well. They look

1645
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 2: good on paper. I think it was great that they

1646
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:23,679
Speaker 2: extended Lamar Jackson. Lamar's healthy, seemingly happy, and he can play.

1647
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 2: Lamar can operate from the pocket. He does not deserve

1648
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 2: the criticism he's gotten about operating from the pocket because

1649
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 2: he can. But he's so dynamic with his legs that

1650
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 2: you know you got a factor in that as well.

1651
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 2: Baltimore's gonna have to channel all this talent into an

1652
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 2: offense is cohesive and consistent. But if they do, they're

1653
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 2: gonna be a tough out. They're gonna be you know,

1654
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 2: you can get eleven to one odds in Vegas. Will

1655
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:53,640
Speaker 2: any of the divisions have all four entrants make the playoffs.

1656
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 2: It's highly unlikely, but if anyone's got a chance, it's

1657
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 2: gotta be THEFC North because Cincinnat he's in. I think

1658
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 2: Baltimore's in. I think Pittsburgh's gonna probably be in. Well,

1659
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 2: Cleveland not so sure, but you can't count him out.

1660
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 2: All right. The Miami Dolphins. I believe in the Miami Dolphins.

1661
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 2: Given how tightly packed the AFC is shaping up, I

1662
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 2: would say, you know, it doesn't help that you lose

1663
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 2: cornerback Jalen Ramsey, although for a guy that's supposed to

1664
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 2: be as good as him, he's sure got beat a

1665
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 2: lot with the Rams, but you'd rather have him than

1666
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 2: not have him. Mike McDaniel's playbook should take shape in

1667
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 2: its second year. I'm a believer in Tua I am.

1668
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 2: I'm a believer in Tyreek Hill. I think Miami's got

1669
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 2: a good defense. I love Vic Fangio. That's gonna keep

1670
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 2: Miami viable, that defense. Miami's a tough place to go

1671
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 2: down to play in September. It's hot, it's humid. So look,

1672
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna battle Buffalo, They're gonna battle the Jets. They're

1673
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 2: gonna certainly battle New England. Miami had some nice victories

1674
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 2: last year, and they almost damn near went up there

1675
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 2: and won a playoff game in Buffalo with Skyler Thompson

1676
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 2: for crying out loud, hopefully to stays healthy. I don't

1677
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 2: know about the Vikings man no Dalvin Cook, no Adam Feelin,

1678
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 2: no Eric Kendricks, no Zadarius Smith, no Patrick Peterson. I

1679
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 2: don't believe they winning in thirteen games this year while

1680
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 2: getting out scored over the course of the season. I

1681
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 2: think Justin Jefferson could look forward to a lot of

1682
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 2: double teams this year, and I think Kirk Cousins there's

1683
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot on his shoulders. I don't know

1684
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 2: that I would predict the Vikings they are gonna fall

1685
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 2: all the way to seven and ten. But they're sure

1686
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 2: as they are not going to be thirteen and four.

1687
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna They're gonna be right on the cusp as

1688
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 2: Mike the Giants, and I like the Giants, and I

1689
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 2: like Brian Dabel, and I like Daniel Jones, but they

1690
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,680
Speaker 2: probably overachieved in twenty twenty two and what comes up

1691
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:57,640
Speaker 2: must come down. And the g Men went in and

1692
01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 2: took care of the aforementioned Vikes in their own building.

1693
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 2: And the Giants unfortunately have the misfortune of having to

1694
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 2: play the AFC East and the NFC WST as part

1695
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 2: of their non divisional schedule. Hard to find wins in

1696
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 2: that rundown. They're gonna have to make a couple of

1697
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:17,760
Speaker 2: long trips to the West coast. The Niners ain't gonna

1698
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 2: be easy, The Seahawks ain't gonna be easy. I'm not

1699
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 2: sure about the Rams yet, not sold on them at all,

1700
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 2: but they're gonna compete. Wouldn't go to sleep on a

1701
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 2: Arizona Well, that's the story for a different day. The Chargers.

1702
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,719
Speaker 2: Something's weird with this team, and not just their coach.

1703
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:39,480
Speaker 2: Their star power is undeniable, as as is their inability

1704
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 2: to play consistent defense, they can't close out big games,

1705
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 2: and they don't know what it's like to take a

1706
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 2: conservative approach. I'm looking at you, Brandon Staley, and I

1707
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:54,599
Speaker 2: think he's the wrong guy to ban this ship. So again,

1708
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 2: proved me wrong. Would not surprise me if the Chargers

1709
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 2: went seven to ten this year when I got Kellum

1710
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:04,679
Speaker 2: calling plays, and hopefully they can stay healthy. And again,

1711
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 2: the Chargers are a team that confounds you because of

1712
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 2: the talent they have. But right out of the gate,

1713
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 2: early in the season, they got to face Miami, Denver,

1714
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 2: the Jets, the Ravens, even the Lions. Not going to

1715
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 2: be easy. Finally, the one team that made the playoffs

1716
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:26,560
Speaker 2: last year and I'm fairly confident probably won't make the

1717
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 2: playoffs this year, and that is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1718
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 2: They did win eight games, yes, believe it or not,

1719
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,040
Speaker 2: eight games last year was good enough to win the

1720
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:37,720
Speaker 2: NFC South. You remember that, and they had a guy

1721
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,719
Speaker 2: named Tom Brady who just was able to win games

1722
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 2: on reputation. So do you expect do you expect the

1723
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:50,000
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Bucks to actually improve without Tom Brady? And

1724
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,799
Speaker 2: you add to that, they've got a disjointed offensive line,

1725
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:56,680
Speaker 2: and a rookie play caller and Dave Canalis. I don't know.

1726
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. And it also raises the question is

1727
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield good? He just won the job? While we're

1728
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 2: at it, why don't we talk about that coming up?

1729
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 2: Is Baker Mayfield actually good? I'll give you my thoughts

1730
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 2: and I'll give it some context. I'm Bernie fraddle wol

Speaker 2: your life from the tarret dot Com studios here in

01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:31,679
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. You know they say numbers don't lie. However,

1737
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 2: numbers without context can be very misleading. Baker Mayfield has

1738
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 2: won the job in Tampa Bay, and Baker Mayfield has

1739
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 2: been a polarizing individual since he entered the league in

1740
01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. Part of it self inflicted, but he's also

1741
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:52,559
Speaker 2: done some things too. Let's be honest. Okay, remember last

1742
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:54,799
Speaker 2: fall when he joined the Rams and three days later

1743
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 2: he leads to He leads the Ram to the crazy

1744
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 2: victory over the Raidiers and the final seconds to that

1745
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 2: Thursday night game, and his quarterback rating was eighty six

1746
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 2: point five, which is the same as Mitched Trubisky, better

1747
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 2: than Brett fav even better than Dan Marino. So by

1748
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,720
Speaker 2: that measure, he'd be better than the backup right. And

1749
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 2: here's where numbers get weird. His complation rate was sixty

1750
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 2: two percent. It's better than Cam Newton, Eli Manning, Matt Hasselbeck.

1751
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 2: They were all successful starting quarterbacks who played in the

1752
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 2: NFL for a decade or more than a decade. Mayfield

1753
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 2: has an interception rate of two point nine percent. That's

1754
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 2: the same as Matt Hasselbeck and Mark Bulger. Both those

1755
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 2: guys made multiple Pro Bowls. Joe Namath, Carson Wentz, Jay Cutler.

1756
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:42,599
Speaker 2: They have the same touchdown rate as Baker Mayfield four

1757
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:44,679
Speaker 2: point six percent. Do you want to do these analytics?

1758
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 2: You want to do this stuff all day? You got

1759
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 2: do the folks who love analytics right well, By the way,

1760
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 2: Mayfield has a better touchdown rate than Matt Ryan, Jim Plunkett,

1761
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 2: Eli Manning, those they've all played in Super Bowls. Where

1762
01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 2: am I going with this? So we don't know what

1763
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is going to do? In Tampa Bay. We

1764
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:06,799
Speaker 2: don't know Willie succeeded, but remember when Mayfield was a rookie,

1765
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 2: he took the reins of a team that won only

1766
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 2: one game in the prior too seasons. Nothing against you know,

1767
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackson, but Man Cleveland was one in thirty one. Now,

1768
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:22,440
Speaker 2: Mayfield had a six and seven to one loss record

1769
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,640
Speaker 2: in the thirteen games he started as a rookie. But

1770
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 2: again let's give that some context. The Browns had been

1771
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 2: one in thirty one the previous two seasons. Oh, by

1772
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 2: the way, Mayfield he threw twenty seven touchdown passes that year,

1773
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 2: and that was a rookie record until Justin Herbert surpassed

1774
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 2: it two years later in twenty twenty. Now, you can

1775
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 2: say that Mayfield and the Browns underperformed in twenty nineteen,

1776
01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 2: but they more than made up for it in twenty twenty,

1777
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 2: even though Odell Beckham missed most of the year with

1778
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 2: an injury. Mayfield realized the potential in the team was evident,

1779
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 2: and his potential was evident. His rookie campaign, he threw

1780
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:05,640
Speaker 2: for the second most yardge in Brown's history for a

1781
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 2: single season, only Bernie Cosar back in nineteen eighty six

1782
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 2: had a more prolific season, and that team was one

1783
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,679
Speaker 2: game away from going to the Super Bowl if Ernest

1784
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 2: Biner doesn't fumble on the goal line. Mayfield also threw

1785
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 2: more than three times as many touchdowns. He threw twenty

1786
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:25,600
Speaker 2: six touchdowns eight interceptions during the regular season when he

1787
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 2: led the Browns to eleven wins. Then Mayfield then threw

1788
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:33,200
Speaker 2: three touchdown passes I think it was in the wildcard

1789
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:37,479
Speaker 2: game against Pittsburgh and got Cleveland their first franchise playoff

1790
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 2: win in twenty five years. Baker Mayfield, before you're two

1791
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:43,720
Speaker 2: hard out him. Remember now he's playing for his eight

1792
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 2: head coach and his sixth offensive coordinator in his sixth

1793
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:52,720
Speaker 2: NFL season. This has been a topic of discussion, and

1794
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 2: there are some folks that thought Kyle Trask would beat

1795
01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:57,800
Speaker 2: him out. I never thought he would. I'm not trying

1796
01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 2: to put Baker Mayfield in the Hall of Fame here.

1797
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:02,679
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to do is paint a picture because

1798
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 2: Mayfield has a lot of diverse experience. Some of it's good,

1799
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:08,759
Speaker 2: some of it's not as good. But that's his story.

1800
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 2: He's twenty eight years old, right. Eric Mangini, who's considered

1801
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 2: a very smart guy who is the right hand man

1802
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 2: of Bill Belichick, basically said he believed that Todd Bowles

1803
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 2: and the new offensive coordinator, Dave Connally's will well back

1804
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield. He said it before camp even started. He

1805
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:33,360
Speaker 2: ended up being right. They're gonna feel more comfortable with

1806
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield because he has experience and he actually has

1807
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:39,200
Speaker 2: some poise, and he actually has a presence, and that

1808
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 2: comes with age and getting a chance to play. That's

1809
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 2: what Eric Mangini said. Now, if if Mayfield doesn't perform,

1810
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 2: then Trask will probably be right right behind them. So

1811
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 2: what happens. What happens is next year. Let's give this

1812
01:36:55,800 --> 01:37:00,640
Speaker 2: some context, okay, because the numbers which I shared with you,

1813
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 2: interception rate, touchdown rate, completion rate, comparing them against other quarterbacks,

1814
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:10,320
Speaker 2: those are just numbers. And as I said jokingly earlier,

1815
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,760
Speaker 2: you know, there's liars, damn liars, and then there are statisticians.

1816
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:15,719
Speaker 2: So those are what the numbers say. So what about

1817
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:20,719
Speaker 2: the context. Mayfield's been in the league since twenty eighteen,

1818
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:23,760
Speaker 2: But that's ad one word. He's only been in the

1819
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:28,760
Speaker 2: league since twenty eighteen, So if we're being fair, there's

1820
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 2: still time to improve those numbers even more. He's got

1821
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 2: to be in an environment where the quarterback can play

1822
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 2: a huge role, and now he is this season Mayfield alone.

1823
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:41,960
Speaker 2: Check that. Last season Mayfield alone worked with three different

1824
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:47,560
Speaker 2: head coaches and two different offensive coordinators. And in Cleveland,

1825
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,240
Speaker 2: in his four seasons, he worked with three different offensive coordinators.

1826
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 2: And the Browns, how don't care what anybody says, there

1827
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,080
Speaker 2: are a notoriously dysfunctional franchise regardless of who's there. But

1828
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 2: on the field, Mayfield somehow managed to take a one

1829
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:03,519
Speaker 2: to thirty one team and help get him to the

1830
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:08,440
Speaker 2: playoffs within three years. Wasn't exactly blessed with an embarrassment

1831
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 2: of riches around him. In twenty eighteen, the Browns wide

1832
01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:15,760
Speaker 2: receivers only caught sixteen touchdown passes for the entire wide

1833
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 2: receiver group. Take take Green Bay. DeVante Adams caught thirteen

1834
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 2: alone by himself. Back then, who was the Browns leading receiver.

1835
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:30,040
Speaker 2: Jarvis Landry caught eighty one balls. They're tight end David

1836
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:32,640
Speaker 2: and Joku caught fifty six. And then there was their

1837
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 2: running backs Duke Johnson Nick Chubb. They were catching passes

1838
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 2: a bigger factor when Mayfield got to the Browns is

1839
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 2: believe it or not, they were second in the league

1840
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 2: and drop passes. Who knows why these things happen. As

1841
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, one particular week, I think it

1842
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 2: was Week nine of the twenty eighteen season, the Browns

1843
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 2: dropped more passes than anybody in the history of the

1844
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:58,640
Speaker 2: NFL in a single game. And I think during the

1845
01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:01,839
Speaker 2: month they dropped six point three percent of their passes,

1846
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 2: which is crazy. So and again I'm not mixed up.

1847
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 2: Mayfield has has sometimes been his own worst enemy, but

1848
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:14,200
Speaker 2: in fact his most successful season was also for that

1849
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 2: same Cleveland team in twenty twenty. Right, the pass catching

1850
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 2: started to improve and they still have their drops, but

1851
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 2: that was Kevin Stefanski's first season and Alex Van Pelt's

1852
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 2: first season as the offensive coordinator, so they had kind

1853
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:34,040
Speaker 2: of high hopes, but they can never really sustain the success.

1854
01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 2: They had a good start. Then in twenty twenty one,

1855
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 2: Mayfield has the shoulder injury. He missed three games that

1856
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 2: very much effected the team's momentum. That was also the

1857
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,839
Speaker 2: year they decided to release. The Browns released Odell Beckham,

1858
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 2: who promptly signs with the Rams and they go win

1859
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,759
Speaker 2: the damn super Bowl while he blows out his knee

1860
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. But I digress. So Baker Mayfield

1861
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 2: leaves Cleveland, and Cleveland once again, upon his departure is

1862
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 2: characterized as an organization who will forever live up to

1863
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 2: its reputation as a as a notoriously dysfunctional franchise. So

1864
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 2: what happens is Baker may feel good. Yeah, he actually

1865
01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 2: is good. He's better than you think. I think he'll

1866
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:22,800
Speaker 2: have his moments in Tampa Bay and he'll have some

1867
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 2: moments where well, not so much. But he's in a

1868
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 2: division with Derek Carr and New Orleans. I'm not a

1869
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:32,440
Speaker 2: car guy. He's in a division with a rookie quarterback

1870
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:36,959
Speaker 2: in Carolina. I'm a big price young guy, but rookies,

1871
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 2: I mean, ask Aaron Rodgers. He was six and ten

1872
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:43,720
Speaker 2: as a rookie. Right, So we shall see what we

1873
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,200
Speaker 2: shall see. But numbers have a way of putting things

1874
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 2: in the context and making you look at a situation

1875
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 2: maybe a little differently. Does that guarantee that Baker Mayfield

1876
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 2: has success this year? No, but he's got a shot,

1877
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:00,080
Speaker 2: and we're going to be watching and I would and

1878
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 2: write him off just yet, coming up. Hard Knocks episode

1879
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 2: three made some interesting observations, starting with Robert Sala's speech.

1880
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 2: We'll chop it up and bring in the crew coming

1881
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 2: up next, but first let's go back to our guy,

1882
01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 2: Nick Cope with the latest.

1883

1885
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:29,160

1886
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,719
Speaker 6: he is out for the season. Oh yeah, tough break.

1887
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 6: This set the injury going back to training camp of

1888
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:41,080

1889
01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:43,519
Speaker 6: to play in the playoff game. That was it, and

1890
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 6: then he tried to come back this year, but he's

1891
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 6: not gonna be able to go.

1892
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 10: So a lot of talk if.

1893
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,720
Speaker 6: This may be it for Ryan Jensen, so we will see.

1894
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 6: Also some news for the Cleveland Browns. Coach Kevin Stefanski

1905
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 6: incentives and then with the Trey Lance trade. Cowboys quarterback

1906

1923
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 6: in the American League and the three back of Baltimore

1924
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,679
Speaker 6: in the division. Philly's still holding the top wildcard spot

1925
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,160
Speaker 6: in the NL. They cruise passed the Cardinals twelve to one,

Speaker 6: the second wild card spot, and they said four back

1928
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 6: of Milwaukee in the division, and the brewershes keep on winning.

1929
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:57,439

1934
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 6: and the Braves are the best record in baseball. They

1935
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 6: won again seven to three against the Giants. Bernie back

1936
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 6: to you, all.

1937
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 2: Right, Nick so hard Knock's Episode three had some moments

1938
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 2: worth noting. The first of which was Robert Salah giving

1939
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:33,800
Speaker 2: this speech which he called the four levels of Competitors, right,

1940
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 2: and it was a little hard to follow. And there's

1941
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:42,559
Speaker 2: something about Salo when he holds court in front of

1942
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 2: the room, it looks to me awkward. When he starts

1943
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:50,960
Speaker 2: dropping f bomps. It doesn't sound like that's his nature.

1944
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:55,320
Speaker 2: And when he does it, it seems to be ineffective

1945
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:58,599
Speaker 2: and it feels clunky to me. But he went into

1946
01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 2: this thing about levels of competitor and how he's really

1947
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:07,679
Speaker 2: trying to preach the value of competition. But that's it's

1948
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 2: not good enough just to be a competitor. You've got

1949
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 2: to be at the level of competitor to where you're

1950
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 2: taking other people with you. You are you are not only

1951
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:20,400
Speaker 2: competing hard, not just just because you're getting paid or

1952
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 2: you're competing hard, not just because you want the glory.

1953
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 2: You're competing hard because it's in your nature. It's what

1954
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 2: you do, and you do it in such a way

1955
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:32,640
Speaker 2: and you become a force multiplier with your teammates. One

1956
01:45:32,680 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 2: of the other moments was I enjoyed Randall Cobb speaking

1957
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:41,519
Speaker 2: truth about the Jets wide receivers and Aaron Rodgers and

1958
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 2: this is the guy you might want to listen to

1959
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 2: because he spent ten seasons in Green Bay helping develop

1960
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 2: a relationship with Aaron Rodgers. And he wasn't afraid to

1961
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:55,680
Speaker 2: tell the other Jets receivers that if you're going to

1962
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 2: work with Rogers, look, you better have your you better

1963
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 2: he buttoned up right. If you make mistakes, and they

1964
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 2: made a lot of mistakes in the room today and

1965
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:07,400
Speaker 2: basic stuff, little stuff. He goes, we can't have that,

1966
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 2: and Randall Cobb wan want to tell him if he

1967
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 2: doesn't trust you or quote, if he don't trust you,

1968
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 2: he not gonna throw you the ball. And that's federal leadership.

1969
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 2: Randall Cobb was showing you went on to say, it's

1970
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 2: all cool right now, but I'm telling you one day

1971
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 2: Rogers is gonna lose his ish. It's gonna happen if

1972
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,760
Speaker 2: it continues to go the way it's going right now,

1973
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 2: because if he don't trust you, he's not gonna throw

1974
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 2: you the ball. I can promise you that if you

1975
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 2: don't trust you, he don't like throwing interception. So if

1976
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,719
Speaker 2: he don't trust you, you're not gonna run the right route.

1977
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 2: He is not gonna throw it now. Cob knows a

1978
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:42,679
Speaker 2: thing or two what he's talking about. He caught forty

1979
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,639
Speaker 2: seven touchdowns from Aaron Rodgers during his tenure with Green

1980
01:46:45,640 --> 01:46:48,639
Speaker 2: Bay and over six thousand receiving yards. By the way,

1981
01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:50,479
Speaker 2: at the end of the show, kind of a cute

1982
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 2: little moment with his two sons. His wife's pregnant and

1983
01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 2: the little boy says, mom, I want to have a

1984
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:59,519
Speaker 2: baby in my tummy too, so Izie. As the hard knocks,

1985
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 2: you know, twenty twenty three iteration, episode three continues going on,

1986
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 2: You're starting to see more of these human moments. I'm

1987
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 2: a big Quinn Williams fan. Dude can play. He's a

1988
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 2: very rich man. He just dinked a four year, ninety

1989
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:16,960
Speaker 2: six million dollar extension. But believe it or not, even

1990
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:21,679
Speaker 2: quinnin Williams has in securities. Now. They had this joint

1991
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:25,880
Speaker 2: practice against Tampa Bay. Fights kept breaking out every two

1992
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 2: minutes and somebody in the Buccaneers receiving corps commented that

1993
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 2: Quinn Williams was well, well, it was Mike Williams, actually,

1994
01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:38,719
Speaker 2: he says, Mike Williams called me fat. That's what Williams

1995
01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 2: till his teammates. He called me fat.

1996
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 5: Bro.

1997
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:44,760
Speaker 2: He called me. Mike Evans called me fat, and that

1998
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 2: really bothered him. The camera captured that he went up

1999
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:52,400
Speaker 2: to Mike Williams and said, Mike Evans, excuse me, and said, Bro,

2000
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:54,680
Speaker 2: I lost weight at this offseason. I look fat and

2001
01:47:54,680 --> 01:48:00,000
Speaker 2: now I'm self conscious. Bro. One of his teammates say, well,

2002
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 2: would say you're not skinny. I think you're fit for

2003
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 2: a non skinny person. Do I look good to be

2004
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 2: three hundred pounds? Okay, cool?

2005
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 10: Right, that was the best part of the episode.

2006
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, Nick, jump in there. What did you

2007
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:14,080
Speaker 2: have some thoughts on this?

2008
01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:16,639
Speaker 6: No, no, I just really loved the Quinn Williams thing,

2009
01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 6: how it just really bothered him, and maybe partly that

2010
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 6: it was coming from Mike Evans, a guy who's a

2011
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:25,559
Speaker 6: household name at receiver and Quinn Williams like, eh, I'm

2012
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 6: pretty good at my job. Like, yeah, I don't call

2013
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:31,040
Speaker 6: me fat, but I love the I forget who the

2014
01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:34,599
Speaker 6: teammate was. And you're fit for non Yeah, you're fit

2015
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,120
Speaker 6: for a non skinny person.

2016
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:37,640
Speaker 10: That was the line of the night for me.

2017
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:40,360
Speaker 2: That was that was a good line. He was honest.

2018
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 6: Mike Clemens, I feel you on Sola though it does

2019
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 6: it's something just that it's hard to pin down. But

2020
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:50,639
Speaker 6: it's like I don't really buy it, and I can't

2021
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 6: figure out exactly what it is. I think maybe you're

2022
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 6: onto it that it doesn't seem natural when when he's cursing,

2023
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 6: But like, I don't know. I remember John Gruden and

2024
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:06,400
Speaker 6: he's obviously a quirky guy and he's but I bought it.

2025
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 6: I bought him, you know, giving those speeches in front

2026
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 6: of the team. But for some reason with sala it

2027
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:14,800
Speaker 6: just doesn't quite land.

2028
01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 2: I agree. Look, you swear. He's kind of an art form.

2029
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 2: I mean Bill O'Brien when he was on Hard Knocks

2030
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:25,800
Speaker 2: a few years ago, he was dropping F bombs like

2031
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:27,679
Speaker 2: he could have been in the cast to Harlem Knights,

2032
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 2: which is the all timer for F bombs. Unreal. Right now,

2033
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:35,439
Speaker 2: when Robert Salad does it, it just feels a little

2034
01:49:35,439 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 2: clunky and it doesn't really feel like it's his nature. Now,

2035
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:40,799
Speaker 2: I've played for coaches who swear and played for coaches

2036
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 2: that don't swear. All styles work, all styles fail. You've

2037
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 2: got to be yourself. And I know that sounds like

2038
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 2: trite phraseology, sounds like cliche. But if you're inauthentic. People

2039
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:54,560
Speaker 2: have that sixth sense, right, So when Robert Salad is

2040
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 2: dropping those F bombs, it just doesn't sound natural to me.

2041
01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:02,519
Speaker 2: I can't tell you exactly why, but they're almost the

2042
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:06,400
Speaker 2: word loses its effectiveness when he uses it, right, he's dead.

2043
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 2: Remember at the beginning, did you see episode one? He

2044
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,599
Speaker 2: came out with some F bombs early abought the offensive.

2045
01:50:12,120 --> 01:50:15,599
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, this doesn't work now. I enjoyed that

2046
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:20,160
Speaker 2: interaction with Quinn Williams and Mike Evans and his own teammate,

2047
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna skip to the chase here, and do

2048
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 2: you remember the end when Woody Johnson comes in and

2049
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 2: where's that mister t Starter's kit with his big woody chain.

2050
01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh. I was kind of cringing at that too.

2051
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 6: The guys seem to enjoy it, but it's like, Okay,

2052
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 6: here comes old guy trying to relate to the young

2053
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:40,639
Speaker 6: guys or something.

2054
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:44,280
Speaker 2: Well, it's good to be the king, right, and it's

2055
01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 2: what's the golden rule? And he has the gold makes

2056
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 2: the rules. They're laughing at the boss's jokes, that's all

2057
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 2: they're doing. But I'm telling you though, Nick, and he's

2058
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 2: gonna let you weigh in on this too. Look, there

2059
01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 2: was a subtext here. Okay, you don't get to be

2060
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:03,640
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson. You may I'm the most popular guy. But

2061
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:06,320
Speaker 2: look what he did. He comes walking in with that

2062
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:09,040
Speaker 2: woody chain. What do you think that thing costs? Seriously?

2063
01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 2: Which surprised me. If it cost thirty grand I don't know.

2064
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,040
Speaker 2: What do you think a lot of bling man I have?

2065
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:18,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say minimum five figures, but I would

2066
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:22,280
Speaker 6: imagine it's at least six, but could be beats me.

2067
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 6: I haven't been in the market for anything close to

2068
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 6: that much buling.

2069
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 2: Even if I was, I wouldn't wear the damn thing.

2070
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 2: That's just not me. But the point I'm making here's

2071
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:34,200
Speaker 2: where I'm going with my amateur psychology. I realize it's

2072
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:38,000
Speaker 2: against a lot of psychology to practice psychology without a license,

2073
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:40,600
Speaker 2: but I do it often. So here's the deal. He

2074
01:51:40,720 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 2: comes in and addresses the group, wear's the chain, takes

2075
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:49,639
Speaker 2: off the jacket, looks dorky as hell. However, he's looking

2076
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:52,280
Speaker 2: out there and saying, hey, man, I signed off on

2077
01:51:52,360 --> 01:51:56,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers one hundred and ten million dollars. I signed

2078
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:59,639
Speaker 2: off on Quinna Williams ninety six million. I signed off

2079
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:01,479
Speaker 2: on this guy. That guy I agree to bring in

2080
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:04,840
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook gave me point six million. All right, man,

2081
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:09,559
Speaker 2: I've been spreading it. I've been spreading the chuddar. Now

2082
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 2: you guys got to come through for me. That's what

2083
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:17,440
Speaker 2: I read out of that. Very calculating, perhaps not entertaining,

2084
01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 2: although they played along right, I thought, NICKI that was

2085
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:26,439
Speaker 2: a veiled message to the team. You know, I've given

2086
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:30,240
Speaker 2: you the resources, I've paid the players. We've brought a

2087
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:32,599
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer in here. Now it's up to you

2088
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:36,360
Speaker 2: guys to go make it happen. Yeah, that was my read.

2089
01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:37,200
Speaker 2: What was your read?

2090
01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, I didn't really take too much from that scene,

2091
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 6: but I think you're right. I mean, it's just kind

2092
01:52:44,040 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 6: of an extension of you know, when Sala was getting

2093
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:49,640
Speaker 6: on the offensive line in the previous episode. Hey, we

2094
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 6: got everyone else doing their job. You guys got to

2095
01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 6: do your job. There is this this pressure here because

2096
01:52:57,160 --> 01:52:59,640
Speaker 6: there's a finite amount of time that Aaron Rodgers is

2097
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:01,479
Speaker 6: going to be playing for them, and no one knows

2098
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:04,600
Speaker 6: if it'll be a year or two, and probably not

2099
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:08,120
Speaker 6: beyond that. We would think, so I there is I

2100
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:12,560
Speaker 6: think you're right that that kind of undertone underlying everything

2101
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:15,760
Speaker 6: that Look, hey we're having fun right now training camp,

2102
01:53:15,800 --> 01:53:18,960
Speaker 6: See and Aaron throw the ball around, but we got

2103
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:20,600
Speaker 6: to get to business and we got to make this

2104
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:23,720
Speaker 6: work here, and we've got a ticking clock in order

2105
01:53:23,760 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 6: to do it.

2106
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, undertone, I think is the operative word here. Ethandar

2107
01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 2: would you like to weigh in on any of these

2108
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:34,400
Speaker 2: things that we've talked about.

2109
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:38,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, what you guys are saying

2110
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:43,320
Speaker 4: is pretty much everything I would say. But yeah, for

2111
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:46,000
Speaker 4: the for the Jets, it'll just be for me. When

2112
01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 4: I was watching it, you know, I was just it

2113
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:53,320
Speaker 4: was came to my it was pretty obvious to me

2114
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:55,879
Speaker 4: that the O line is no good for the Jets,

2115
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:58,200
Speaker 4: And that's obvious, and you know that's going to be

2116
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:01,439
Speaker 4: maybe a big issue for them. But I don't think

2117
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 4: Rogers and the receivers are gonna have much of an

2118
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:07,760
Speaker 4: issue because Garrett Wilson, I feel like it's going to

2119
01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 4: be an absolute stud. So even if like the other

2120
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 4: guys aren't picking it up, I think he's gonna have

2121
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 4: a breakout season.

2122
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 9: So, uh, Rogers is in good hands.

2123
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:21,639
Speaker 4: He's he's an MVP he's a Super Bowl champion veteran.

2124
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 9: He'll be all right.

2125
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 2: A Rogers I think is is you know, he'll be

2126
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 2: the reason whether or not the Jets go anywhere, and

2127
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:33,160
Speaker 2: I think that the season has to play out. For me.

2128
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 2: There's a there's a dynamic to Hard Knocks. It's it's

2129
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:42,920
Speaker 2: quantum physics. The cameras are there, it's it's it's not normal.

2130
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:45,879
Speaker 2: I think part of what Salid does is panda the cameras,

2131
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 2: and then they have sort of these gratuitous, you know,

2132
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 2: human interest stories. Some some work, some don't. They're not

2133
01:54:52,160 --> 01:54:55,640
Speaker 2: cutting players anymore like they used to live. But as

2134
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 2: far as the overall vibe of Hard Knocks this year,

2135
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:01,400
Speaker 2: irrespective of the content, are you enjoying it or not?

2136
01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 9: Ethan, Yeah, I'm enjoying it.

2137
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 4: And when it comes to Salah, I agree with you

2138
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 4: guys on you know, he doesn't really sound too authentic.

2139
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:14,440
Speaker 4: He sounds like he's forcing it. But we'll see what happens.

2140
01:55:14,920 --> 01:55:16,920
Speaker 4: You know, wins and losses do the talking.

2141
01:55:17,520 --> 01:55:19,680
Speaker 2: That's it. Wins and losses do the talking. Man, it's

2142
01:55:20,440 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 2: it's a bottom line business coming up top of the hour. Hey,

2143
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:26,040
Speaker 2: you know it, you love it. You can't leave without it.

2144
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool are you? And what

2145
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 2: my name? You've got both Ethan and Nick jumping in

2146
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:35,720
Speaker 2: tonight on that but coming up, We've talked a lot

2147
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:41,680
Speaker 2: about quarterbacks tonight, from Baker Mayfield to Aaron Rodgers, to

2148
01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:45,440
Speaker 2: Bryce Young to Matt Stafford. Right on down the line.

2149
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:49,280
Speaker 2: There's a quarterback of the NFC South that's getting a

2150
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 2: lot of play. He's a good dude. However, he's sixty

2151
01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 2: three and seventy nine as a starter, and he's going

2152
01:55:57,120 --> 01:55:59,640
Speaker 2: to be the guy to put this team over the top.

2153
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:03,640
Speaker 2: The question about this man, can he be great when

2154
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 2: the situation demands greatness? I'm not so sure. I'll tell

Speaker 2: to live after Tarak dot Com studios here in Las Vegas,

2178
01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 2: top of the arrow. Kind of brand new fool of you,

2179
01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 2: followed by what my name? All Right? There's high hopes

2180
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:24,360
Speaker 2: for Derek Carr in New Orleans, Fax. As facts, he

2181
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 2: was sixty three and seventy nine as a starter for

2182
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 2: the Raiders. Not great on third down, not great in

2183
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 2: the red zone. He perked up. I perked up when

2184
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 2: he said that he was very upset the way it

2185
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:41,040
Speaker 2: ended here, and he didn't. He thought it was money related.

2186
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 2: And you spend nine years in a place you have

2187
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 2: all the records you played at a high level. Did

2188
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:48,760
Speaker 2: you play at high level Turk? If you did, then

2189
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 2: why was your completion percentage last year ranking twenty ninth

2190
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:55,920
Speaker 2: among all NFL quarterbacks? Why was your pass yards per

2191
01:57:55,960 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 2: game ranking fifteenth among all quarterbacks? Pass yards yards per

2192
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:08,320
Speaker 2: attempt ranked nineteenth. Touchdown to interception ratio through twenty four

2193
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:14,440
Speaker 2: touchdowns fourteen interceptions that ranked twenty first, passer rating only

2194
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 2: eighty six point three that ranked twenty fourth. Now, he

2195
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:24,320
Speaker 2: talked about playing at a high level, but he didn't

2196
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,880
Speaker 2: rank in the top half in any statistical category. And

2197
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 2: the Raiders were loaded with offensive weapons last year. Josh

2198
01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 2: Jacobs DeVante Adams right on down the line. So the

2199
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:39,600
Speaker 2: bottom line is he can say he put together stats,

2200
01:58:39,600 --> 01:58:43,000
Speaker 2: those were yogi baristats because he did not lead to wins.

2201
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 2: If Derek Carr is going to do it in New

2202
01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:51,000
Speaker 2: Orleans again, please please save the speeches. Show me. Don't

2203
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 2: tell me. I actually think Atlanta is the dangerous team

2204
01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:57,200
Speaker 2: in that division. I've explained it before and I'll explain

2205
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,640

02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:07,000
Speaker 2: breaking the law. Many times they land these folks in jail.

2225
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:11,520
Speaker 2: But anyway you slice it, these are behaviors. These are

2226
02:00:11,680 --> 02:00:15,440
Speaker 2: activities that people engage in that, no matter the result,

2227
02:00:15,480 --> 02:00:18,240

2233
02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:40,520
Speaker 2: of Arnco, Georgia, which I have never heard of. And

2234
02:00:40,600 --> 02:00:43,880

2236
02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:51,960
Speaker 2: right yep. So we're in this weird world we're living

2237
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:56,440
Speaker 2: in now, especially since since COVID so porch pirate is

2238
02:00:56,440 --> 02:01:01,240
Speaker 2: something we've heard of. And Robin Swang, or meet Robin

2239
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:05,680
Speaker 2: Swanger of Kuweita County, Georgia, who's been identified as a

2240
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:10,560
Speaker 2: porch pirate, and typically a porch pirate is a term

2241
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:15,320
Speaker 2: that refers to a suspect, usually of stealing packages or

2242
02:01:15,400 --> 02:01:21,560
Speaker 2: items from someone's doorstep. Now investigators have dubbed Robin Swanger

2243
02:01:21,720 --> 02:01:23,960
Speaker 2: a porch pirate. Hold that thought, I'm gonna come back

2244
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:26,120
Speaker 2: to it. But see, this is a guy that's actually

2245
02:01:26,160 --> 02:01:29,640
Speaker 2: got a body of work because deputies had recently been

2246
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:33,560
Speaker 2: at his house because they were called there due to

2247
02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:38,600
Speaker 2: a domestic disturbance. So this gentleman actually has a body

2248
02:01:38,640 --> 02:01:41,000
Speaker 2: of work. He's been charged with a couple accounts of

2249
02:01:41,360 --> 02:01:45,360
Speaker 2: domestic vin violence, including battery, but at the time of

2250
02:01:45,400 --> 02:01:50,880
Speaker 2: his arrest, he'd also been engaged and other oddball scratchhead

2251
02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:57,040
Speaker 2: activity as a porch pirate. You see, Robin Swanger took

2252
02:01:57,080 --> 02:02:01,080
Speaker 2: it to a whole new level. What he did. He

2253
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:05,480
Speaker 2: went past all the trust no trespassing signs, broke through

2254
02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:09,520
Speaker 2: a gate, and investigators say he even blew past several

2255
02:02:09,560 --> 02:02:14,160
Speaker 2: people when he helped himself to a wooden porch left

2256
02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:17,560
Speaker 2: on a property. Yes, it was a full eight y

2257
02:02:17,720 --> 02:02:21,800
Speaker 2: ten porch. So Robin Swanger is not only a porch

2258
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:26,080
Speaker 2: pirate for stealing Adams, He's a porch pirate for stealing

2259
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:28,120
Speaker 2: an entire porch.

2260
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:32,120
Speaker 10: How did he do it? How did he take an

2261
02:02:32,160 --> 02:02:33,520
Speaker 10: eight by ten porch?

2262
02:02:33,720 --> 02:02:38,600
Speaker 6: Did he have a flatbed he pulled a.

2263
02:02:37,360 --> 02:02:40,360
Speaker 2: Well, you ask a very good question, and that is

2264
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:44,360
Speaker 2: a detail I do not have. But according to the

2265
02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:48,240
Speaker 2: Kuwita County Sheriff's Office and an investigator by the name

2266
02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:53,320
Speaker 2: of Chris Stapler. Well, you know, he believed it probably

2267
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:57,000
Speaker 2: took a full hour for the entry and exit. Regardless,

2268
02:02:57,320 --> 02:03:01,400
Speaker 2: he got it and it happened. Robin Swanger a legendary

2269
02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:04,480
Speaker 2: porch pirate and oh, by the way, facing charges for

2270
02:03:04,640 --> 02:03:08,280
Speaker 2: battery and domestic violence, which leaves us asking the question,

2271
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:12,120
Speaker 2: mister Swanger, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2272
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:15,000
Speaker 2: All right? Nickope, you've done this game before.

2273
02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:15,680
Speaker 10: What do you got for it?

2274
02:03:15,720 --> 02:03:16,040
Speaker 2: Buddy?

2275
02:03:16,120 --> 02:03:21,120
Speaker 6: All right, Bernie, We're gonna go to New England, specifically Boston, Massachusetts,

2276
02:03:21,160 --> 02:03:27,800
Speaker 6: where Donado Fradioli and Magda Masri are set to get

2277
02:03:27,800 --> 02:03:30,560
Speaker 6: married in Italy on August thirty first.

2278
02:03:30,640 --> 02:03:31,680
Speaker 10: So just around the.

2279
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:36,040
Speaker 6: Corner you hear this story, go go go, Okay, they're

2280
02:03:36,040 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 6: getting ready for their wedding day, which is now just

2281
02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:41,480
Speaker 6: four days away, about a week and a half ago. Now,

2282
02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:44,360
Speaker 6: they go to Boston City Hall, which, by the way,

2283
02:03:44,440 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 6: is the ugliest building in the city.

2284
02:03:46,440 --> 02:03:48,040
Speaker 10: I lived there for six years. I can say that

2285
02:03:48,080 --> 02:03:48,480
Speaker 10: I know the.

2286
02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 2: City very well. Go ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah.

2287
02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:51,640
Speaker 10: Terrible brutalist building.

2288
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 6: But they go, they get their marriage license, and then

2289
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:57,480
Speaker 6: they go out to dinner to celebrate. All is going

2290
02:03:57,520 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 6: well until they get home, and then they find that

2291
02:04:00,680 --> 02:04:05,800
Speaker 6: their golden retriever named Chucky, which apparently is short for

2292
02:04:06,040 --> 02:04:11,000
Speaker 6: chicken cutlet, good old Chucky, he had gotten himself onto

2293
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:14,040
Speaker 6: the counter, or got his front pause up onto the counter,

2294
02:04:14,120 --> 02:04:18,360
Speaker 6: and he had gotten a hold of Fradiroli's passport and

2295
02:04:18,640 --> 02:04:24,440
Speaker 6: proceeded to chew through multiple pages, specifically all the important

2296
02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:26,800
Speaker 6: ones in the front, in the back that have your

2297
02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:30,120
Speaker 6: idea and information, the barcode in the back. He just

2298
02:04:30,240 --> 02:04:34,640
Speaker 6: tore all that up unusable. So this of course happens

2299
02:04:34,720 --> 02:04:36,120
Speaker 6: a week before they're.

2300
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:36,560
Speaker 10: Due to leave.

2301
02:04:36,600 --> 02:04:39,680
Speaker 6: They're freaking out. They do the smart thing. They reach

2302
02:04:39,760 --> 02:04:45,480
Speaker 6: out to their offices of local congressional representative, their senator, Fradiroli.

2303
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 6: He ended up getting a new passport Wednesday, and then

2304
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,640
Speaker 6: they flew out on Friday, so they should be good

2305
02:04:52,640 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 6: to get married in a few days. So this does

2306
02:04:54,640 --> 02:05:00,320
Speaker 6: have a happy ending. But Dinado Frattioli, trusting you're a

2307
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:04,240
Speaker 6: year and a half old golden retriever to you know,

2308
02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:07,880
Speaker 6: just sit idly by at home while you're gone for

2309
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 6: several hours. What kind of brand new fool?

2310
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:12,840
Speaker 2: Are you a brand new fool? And the reason you

2311
02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:16,640
Speaker 2: heard me chockoling in the beginning, because the way that

2312
02:05:16,640 --> 02:05:19,800
Speaker 2: that verbiage rolled off your tongue and Dinato Fratioli, I'm

2313
02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:21,680

2338
02:06:23,840 --> 02:06:29,640
Speaker 4: So there is a what do you call it? There's

2339
02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:34,360
Speaker 4: a bear. Yeah, there's a big bear called Hank the tank.

2340
02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:38,040
Speaker 4: Hank the tank, Hank the tank that is going inside homes,

2341
02:06:38,080 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 4: breaking in around twenty eight homes and one hundred and

2342
02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 4: fifty two reports.

2343
02:06:43,640 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 9: Of Hank the tank going into homes.

2344
02:06:47,080 --> 02:06:50,720
Speaker 4: So one of the civilians in the township of Tahoe

2345
02:06:50,800 --> 02:06:55,920
Speaker 4: Keys ended up get like putting a tent out in

2346
02:06:56,040 --> 02:07:04,640
Speaker 4: the the woods and capturing the bear. No luck. But

2347
02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:07,320
Speaker 4: you know what kind of brand new for are you?

2348
02:07:07,920 --> 02:07:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, putting a tent not to catch a bear. That's

2349
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:10,800
Speaker 2: a new one on me.

2350
02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:12,920
Speaker 9: Man, crazy, I don't know.

2351
02:07:13,440 --> 02:07:15,919
Speaker 2: So you trap the bear in the tent.

2352
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you had to like kill the bear with a

2353
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:23,800
Speaker 4: gun and then you'd probably get charged with killing the bear.

2354
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:25,520
Speaker 9: You know, it's a tough, good thought.

2355
02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Wait, by the way, did you guys see the movie

2356
02:07:26,880 --> 02:07:27,520
Speaker 2: Cocaine Bear?

2357
02:07:28,040 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 4: No?

2358
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:30,320
Speaker 9: I didn't. I hear it's great, though, is it really

2359
02:07:30,320 --> 02:07:31,560
Speaker 9: that I I have?

2360
02:07:32,320 --> 02:07:34,280
Speaker 2: I haven't fired on it yet, but I might. It's

2361
02:07:34,360 --> 02:07:37,280
Speaker 2: it's making the rounds through my Netflix and ow whatever

2362
02:07:37,360 --> 02:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Prime or what have you seen Cocaine Bear? Nick?

2363
02:07:39,640 --> 02:07:40,280
Speaker 3: I have not.

2364
02:07:40,720 --> 02:07:45,080
Speaker 6: I was mildly curious if I happened to stumble upon

2365
02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:47,960
Speaker 6: it on TV or something, I'd give it a chance,

2366
02:07:48,040 --> 02:07:50,200
Speaker 6: just because it's so outrageous. By the way, I just

2367
02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 6: know Hank the tank is apparently a female bear. So

2368
02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:56,680
Speaker 6: that yeah named Hank h.

2369
02:07:57,680 --> 02:07:59,920
Speaker 2: Well, that'd pissed him off right there. So anyway, all right,

2370
02:08:00,080 --> 02:08:03,160
Speaker 2: good stuff, Ethan, appreciate you man. All right, guys, another

2371

Speaker 2: Featuring just a little bit of about everything is in

02:08:09,480 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 2: the books, and so we are often running to our

2374
02:08:12,400 --> 02:08:15,320

2379
02:08:35,120 --> 02:08:39,520
Speaker 2: Start the day with a winner. Apart, all right, this

2380
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:41,600
Speaker 2: was a little tougher, but you guys can get it.

Speaker 2: Derrick Henry, shame on me.

2403
02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:08,040

02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:23,760
Speaker 2: Nick Cope, What my name?

2409
02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:29,839
Speaker 6: The former running back of the Ohio State University Archie Griffith.

2410
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:32,800
Speaker 2: There you go. You guys are on fire. Three three

2411
02:10:32,840 --> 02:10:40,320
Speaker 2: out of four so far. Continuing on with the Heisman theme,

2412
02:10:41,360 --> 02:10:46,520
Speaker 2: I am the only defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy.

2413
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:48,240
Speaker 2: Ethan Miller. What my name?

2414
02:10:51,440 --> 02:10:56,560
Speaker 9: I'm pretty sure wasn't it, Oh? Nick, comeing out?

2415
02:10:57,240 --> 02:11:02,040
Speaker 2: S Desmond Howard Right, Desmond was actually a wide receiver

2416
02:11:02,080 --> 02:11:04,120
Speaker 2: and a kick returner. But you've got the right school

2417
02:11:04,200 --> 02:11:05,240
Speaker 2: to try it one more time.

2418
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:07,200
Speaker 10: It's is a Charles Woodson.

2419
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:14,280
Speaker 2: Charles Woodson. That was, of course, the great nineteen ninety

2420
02:11:14,280 --> 02:11:21,440
Speaker 2: seven season that Michigan and Nebraska won the fictional national championships.

2421
02:11:21,440 --> 02:11:24,800
Speaker 2: That year, Charles Charles had that interception where he went

2422
02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:26,600
Speaker 2: up with one hand that kind of sealed, by the

2423
02:11:26,640 --> 02:11:29,280
Speaker 2: way for posterity. I covered that team. He actually lined

2424
02:11:29,320 --> 02:11:31,640
Speaker 2: up a few times at wide receiver, but he really

2425
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 2: is the only defensive player to ever win the Heutsman.

2426
02:11:33,640 --> 02:11:37,440
Speaker 2: All right, this just happened this week in Major League baseball.

2427
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:41,520
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm now batting one to eighty seven this season,

2428
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:45,839
Speaker 2: which is the lowest average in baseball history for anyone

2429
02:11:45,880 --> 02:11:50,240
Speaker 2: who has over five hundred and fifty played appearances. Give

2430
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:53,080
Speaker 2: you a clue, Ethan, he plays for your Phillies the midder,

2431
02:11:53,560 --> 02:11:54,640
Speaker 2: You got it.

2432
02:11:54,800 --> 02:11:56,280
Speaker 9: That would be Kyle Schwarber.

2433
02:11:56,400 --> 02:12:03,040
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber, the pride of the University of Inana. Guys

2434
02:12:03,040 --> 02:12:07,640
Speaker 2: are just just killing it tonight. All right. Last year,

2435
02:12:08,080 --> 02:12:11,760
Speaker 2: in my first ever NFL playoff game, I threw four

2436
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:14,880
Speaker 2: picks in the first half, but then came back and

2437
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:17,880
Speaker 2: threw four touchdowns in the second half to lead my

2438
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:21,360
Speaker 2: team to victory. Nick Cope, what my name?

2439
02:12:21,800 --> 02:12:24,360
Speaker 6: It's gotta be Trevor Lawrence, Right, it has gotta be

2440
02:12:24,440 --> 02:12:25,240
Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence.

2441
02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:28,920
Speaker 2: So you guys, you guys killed it, chilled it. You

2443
02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:39,280
Speaker 2: and Kyle Schwarber, Trevor Lawrence, and then my Alabama, folpash.

2444
02:12:39,600 --> 02:12:41,400
Speaker 2: Should we do one more, guys, Let's do one more?

2445
02:12:42,440 --> 02:12:45,280
Speaker 2: All right? Since I talked about the Detroit Lions in

2446
02:12:45,320 --> 02:12:49,600
Speaker 2: their playoffs and the last time they won the playoff game,

2447
02:12:49,760 --> 02:12:53,680
Speaker 2: well they actually won the division too. So the last

2448
02:12:53,720 --> 02:12:57,920
Speaker 2: time the Detroit Lions won the division, I was their

2449
02:12:57,960 --> 02:12:59,560
Speaker 2: head coach Ethan Miller. What my name?

2450
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:03,720
Speaker 9: Oh, I'm not sure?

2451
02:13:04,360 --> 02:13:10,080
Speaker 2: All right, no problem. The last time the Detroit Lions

2452
02:13:10,120 --> 02:13:14,320
Speaker 2: won their division, I was their head coach, Nick Cope.

2453
02:13:14,320 --> 02:13:14,920

2454
02:13:16,520 --> 02:13:20,120

2457
02:13:25,760 --> 02:13:28,640
Speaker 2: not easy. This might surprise you, but it's pure trivia,

2458
02:13:29,520 --> 02:13:31,920
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. I had more touchdown passes in

2459
02:13:31,960 --> 02:13:36,000
Speaker 2: the National Football League all forty yards or more than

2460

Speaker 2: any other starting quarterback Ethan Miller. What my name?

02:13:44,240 --> 02:13:44,920
Speaker 9: Tom Brady?

2462
02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:51,080
Speaker 2: Not Tom Brady? Last season, I had more touchdown passes

2463
02:13:51,080 --> 02:13:53,200
Speaker 2: in the National Football League and forty yards or more

2464
02:13:53,560 --> 02:13:56,240

Speaker 2: get to Ethan Miller and it's progressive power play of

2492
02:15:49,680 --> 02:15:50,040
Speaker 2: the day.

2493
02:15:50,400 --> 02:15:53,320
Speaker 12: Taylor the empty backfield throws over the middle of as complete.

2494
02:15:53,360 --> 02:15:56,960
Speaker 12: Then it's a touchdown to Dorian Singer. Touchdown USA. There

2495
02:15:57,080 --> 02:16:01,520
Speaker 12: first of the year. Dorian Singer that Arizona last year,

2496
02:16:01,600 --> 02:16:05,280
Speaker 12: a great receiver, six touchdowns, eleven hundred yards and his

2497
02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:08,640
Speaker 12: first catch as the Trojan is a t D.

2498
02:16:09,720 --> 02:16:12,680
Speaker 2: I'd like to see the Trojans do well this year.

2499
02:16:13,640 --> 02:16:18,200
Speaker 2: I am greatly concerned about that defense. Right on schedule though,

2500
02:16:18,240 --> 02:16:23,839
Speaker 2: heading into Saturday night. The last six seasons, Lincoln Riley

2501
02:16:24,560 --> 02:16:28,920
Speaker 2: money in game one wins wins by an average margin

2502
02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:31,440
Speaker 2: to thirty six and a half points. Now they beat

2503
02:16:31,520 --> 02:16:34,240
Speaker 2: San Jose State by twenty eight. So if you laid

2504
02:16:34,280 --> 02:16:36,760
Speaker 2: to thirty one, which I did not, I would have

2505
02:16:36,760 --> 02:16:39,760
Speaker 2: been tempted, but I didn't. You didn't get the cover,

2506
02:16:39,879 --> 02:16:45,600
Speaker 2: but nonetheless USC gets the win in tonight's progressive power

2507
02:16:45,600 --> 02:16:48,279
Speaker 2: play that they had brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

2511
02:17:00,879 --> 02:17:03,959
Speaker 2: Are you a USC fan or that just kind of

2512
02:17:04,240 --> 02:17:11,080
Speaker 2: something that caught your fancy tonight? Are you there? My man?

2513
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:15,800
Speaker 2: All right? Pretty good Marcell Marceau impression there? Nick your thoughts.

2514
02:17:15,840 --> 02:17:17,840
Speaker 2: I know you're not a USC guy, You're a UC other.

2515
02:17:17,720 --> 02:17:21,240
Speaker 6: Guy, right, Yeah, I am so yeah, I've been hearing

2516
02:17:21,280 --> 02:17:24,760
Speaker 6: these USC highlights all night here at the studio. But

2517
02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:27,960
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't deny how good that offense is.

2518
02:17:29,080 --> 02:17:33,959
Speaker 6: The Zachariah Branch, the freshman with that kick return. He

2519
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:38,800
Speaker 6: also caught another touchdown. The defense still looked a little

2520
02:17:38,959 --> 02:17:41,800
Speaker 6: shaky there early on, and then once the offense was

2521
02:17:41,840 --> 02:17:44,480
Speaker 6: able to put a couple of quick scores and make

2522
02:17:44,520 --> 02:17:46,680
Speaker 6: it a two to three score game, then you think

2523
02:17:46,680 --> 02:17:49,280
Speaker 6: it sends San Jose State that they were starting to

2524
02:17:49,280 --> 02:17:52,160
Speaker 6: press a little bit. But in that first half it

2525
02:17:52,200 --> 02:17:55,040
Speaker 6: didn't seem like the defense was really all that different

2526
02:17:55,360 --> 02:17:59,520
Speaker 6: for USC than it was last year. Mistackles. You know,

2527
02:17:59,560 --> 02:18:02,400
Speaker 6: Sales States not a bad team, but they're they're a

2528
02:18:02,520 --> 02:18:06,959
Speaker 6: middling Mountain West team and they yeah, they're.

2529
02:18:06,480 --> 02:18:08,760
Speaker 2: Ping the finish fifth in the Mountain We yeah, and.

2530
02:18:08,720 --> 02:18:11,959
Speaker 6: They were reeling off some really big chunk plays in

2531
02:18:12,040 --> 02:18:14,520
Speaker 6: that first half. So, I mean, it's it's one game,

2532
02:18:14,959 --> 02:18:18,080
Speaker 6: but right out of the shoot it was very reminiscent

2533
02:18:18,120 --> 02:18:20,120
Speaker 6: of last year for USC and their defense.

2534
02:18:20,400 --> 02:18:23,640
Speaker 2: It fell reminiscent to me too. Let's not forget Utah

2535
02:18:23,800 --> 02:18:27,840
Speaker 2: took down USC and then USC had all they had

2536
02:18:27,840 --> 02:18:30,400
Speaker 2: a healthy lead against Tulane, right, they couldn't hold it.

2537
02:18:30,800 --> 02:18:32,480
Speaker 2: How do you get that taste out of your mouth?

2538
02:18:32,520 --> 02:18:35,640
Speaker 2: With all due respect to the Tulane Green Wave, the

2539
02:18:35,680 --> 02:18:38,039
Speaker 2: way they beat as seeing that ball game, that can't

2540
02:18:38,080 --> 02:18:39,720
Speaker 2: leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

2541
02:18:40,400 --> 02:18:43,200
Speaker 6: No, But I think at the same time, I once

2542
02:18:43,360 --> 02:18:46,640
Speaker 6: USC lost the Pac twelve championship to Utah and they

2543
02:18:46,640 --> 02:18:50,040
Speaker 6: weren't getting in the playoff, you know, they even though

2544
02:18:50,040 --> 02:18:52,600
Speaker 6: it's still one of the New Year six, when the

2545
02:18:52,640 --> 02:18:55,800
Speaker 6: playoff was right there for you, I'm sure that you

2546
02:18:55,840 --> 02:18:58,320
Speaker 6: know it's a little bit harder to get up for that.

2547
02:18:58,520 --> 02:19:02,320
Speaker 6: But for you, USC, their front half of the schedule

2548
02:19:02,680 --> 02:19:07,360
Speaker 6: is very very manageable. Here this season, we still might

2549
02:19:07,440 --> 02:19:10,400
Speaker 6: not know a ton about USC until you get to

2550
02:19:10,480 --> 02:19:13,000
Speaker 6: mid October when they're gonna have to play Notre Dame

2551
02:19:13,080 --> 02:19:16,640
Speaker 6: on the road, and then in November in succession, you've

2552
02:19:16,680 --> 02:19:19,360
Speaker 6: got Oregon, Washington, U C.

2553
02:19:19,600 --> 02:19:19,760
Speaker 3: L A.

2554
02:19:19,879 --> 02:19:23,160
Speaker 10: I think Utah is in late October twenty first.

2555
02:19:23,280 --> 02:19:26,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, so they've got a loaded back half of the schedule.

2556
02:19:26,959 --> 02:19:29,760
Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna you know, they host Arizona and then

2557
02:19:29,800 --> 02:19:32,959
Speaker 2: they h then they then they die in frisky.

2558
02:19:33,800 --> 02:19:37,240
Speaker 6: Arizona's got they got an offense at least, but I don't.

2559
02:19:37,040 --> 02:19:39,400
Speaker 10: Know, Well, they got to get it high scoring game.

2560
02:19:39,520 --> 02:19:42,440
Speaker 2: USC gets the game at home. But here's here's what

2561
02:19:42,520 --> 02:19:46,040
Speaker 2: you gotta watch. They do have that gauntlet. The following week,

2562
02:19:46,080 --> 02:19:49,360
Speaker 2: they travel to Notre Dame and it'll be a night

2563
02:19:49,400 --> 02:19:52,160
Speaker 2: game at Notre Dame. And from what I saw from

2564
02:19:52,240 --> 02:19:55,800
Speaker 2: Sam holland Notre Dame today, uh that was that was

2565
02:19:55,840 --> 02:19:59,760
Speaker 2: an impression. Then they travel back home to play you,

2566
02:20:00,320 --> 02:20:01,640
Speaker 2: then they got to go back on the road to

2567
02:20:01,640 --> 02:20:05,359
Speaker 2: play Cal. Then you finish up with Washington, Oregon and UCLA.

2568
02:20:05,840 --> 02:20:08,080
Speaker 2: That's a bit of a gauntlet. So I don't know

2569
02:20:08,160 --> 02:20:10,360
Speaker 2: what s He's gonna do this year, although they're gonna

2570
02:20:10,400 --> 02:20:13,440
Speaker 2: be exciting on offense, that I can tell you. Hell,

2571
02:20:13,520 --> 02:20:16,320
Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder can see that. All right. Coming out, We've

2572
02:20:16,360 --> 02:20:19,440
Speaker 2: got Chris Purfenz World of Soccer, we got the kiss

2573

Speaker 2: zonn Bill Belichick talking about Jose Mourinho. So you want

2575
02:20:26,040 --> 02:20:28,120
Speaker 2: to hear that. But first let's go back to our guy,

2576
02:20:28,240 --> 02:20:29,480
Speaker 2: Nick Cope with the latest.

2577
02:20:29,840 --> 02:20:30,959
Speaker 10: All right, thank you, berniees.

2578
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:34,480
Speaker 6: The final score of that win for USC fifty six

2579
02:20:34,600 --> 02:20:38,320
Speaker 6: twenty eight, Number six USC taking down San Jose State

2580
02:20:38,680 --> 02:20:42,280
Speaker 6: and then Notre Dame no problems against Navy forty two

2581
02:20:42,400 --> 02:20:45,879
Speaker 6: to three in favor of the number thirteen Irish. Some

2582
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:49,160
Speaker 6: other finals, Vanderbilt had to hang on there against Hawaii,

2583
02:20:49,280 --> 02:20:52,440
Speaker 6: they led thirty five to fourteen and entering the fourth

2584
02:20:52,520 --> 02:20:55,600
Speaker 6: quarter final score ended up being thirty five twenty eight

2585
02:20:55,720 --> 02:20:59,080
Speaker 6: to the Commodoores San Diego State over Ohio. That was

2586
02:20:59,080 --> 02:21:03,199
Speaker 6: a defensive battle, twenty to thirteen. Lontec beat FIU twenty

2587
02:21:03,200 --> 02:21:07,360
Speaker 6: two to seventeen, UMass winning forty one to thirty over

2588
02:21:07,400 --> 02:21:11,840
Speaker 6: New Mexico State and at Jacksonville State, making its FBS debut,

2589
02:21:12,040 --> 02:21:16,480
Speaker 6: they beat UTEPS seventeen to fourteen. In the NFL, Dolphins

2590
02:21:16,520 --> 02:21:20,800
Speaker 6: and Jaguars ended their preseason game midway through the fourth

2591
02:21:20,840 --> 02:21:25,920
Speaker 6: quarter because Miami receiver Daywood Davis was immobilized and carted

2592
02:21:25,959 --> 02:21:28,000
Speaker 6: off the field on a stretcher. He was taken to

2593
02:21:28,080 --> 02:21:31,680
Speaker 6: a local hospital. Dolphins announced that he has movement in

2594
02:21:31,760 --> 02:21:36,200
Speaker 6: all his extremities. Aaron Rodgers made his first appearance on

2595
02:21:36,240 --> 02:21:39,880
Speaker 6: a football field in a Jets uniform and the drive

2596
02:21:39,959 --> 02:21:42,640
Speaker 6: went well. He threw a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson

2597
02:21:42,640 --> 02:21:46,160
Speaker 6: in their preseason game against the Giants. Earlier on Saturday,

2598
02:21:46,240 --> 02:21:48,800
Speaker 6: you had the Raiders and running back Josh Jacobs agreeing

2599
02:21:48,800 --> 02:21:51,320
Speaker 6: to a one year deal worth up to twelve million,

2600
02:21:51,360 --> 02:21:56,240
Speaker 6: with the incentives ending Jacob's holdout. Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski

2601
02:21:56,280 --> 02:21:59,920
Speaker 6: said receiver Jaqem Grant suffered a significant knee injury to

2602
02:22:00,040 --> 02:22:01,359
Speaker 6: during their preseason game.

2603
02:22:01,200 --> 02:22:02,000
Speaker 10: Against the Chiefs.

2604
02:22:02,280 --> 02:22:05,400
Speaker 6: Buccaneers Pro Bowl set of Ryan Jensen placed on injured

2605
02:22:05,480 --> 02:22:08,840
Speaker 6: reserve with a knee injury. In baseball, a couple notable

2606
02:22:08,879 --> 02:22:12,840
Speaker 6: scores the Rangers finally snapped their losing streak at eight games.

2607
02:22:12,840 --> 02:22:15,560
Speaker 6: They beat the Twins six to two. Still tie to

2608
02:22:15,560 --> 02:22:17,640
Speaker 6: top the AL West because the Mariners.

2609
02:22:18,080 --> 02:22:18,760
Speaker 10: They won again.

2610
02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:22,119
Speaker 6: They crushed the Royals fifteen to two. Ray shout out

2611
02:22:22,120 --> 02:22:25,119
Speaker 6: the Yankees three zip. They're the top all wildcard team.

2612
02:22:25,200 --> 02:22:28,520
Speaker 6: Three back of Baltimore. Orioles got to win over the Ronkies.

2613
02:22:29,320 --> 02:22:32,720
Speaker 6: Cubs they beat the Pirates ten to six. Congo second

2614
02:22:32,760 --> 02:22:35,760
Speaker 6: wildcard team in the NL. Their four back of Milwaukee

2615
02:22:36,040 --> 02:22:38,920
Speaker 6: Brewers have won seven straight. They beat the Padres five

2616
02:22:38,959 --> 02:22:41,440
Speaker 6: to form Red's over the d Backs eight seven and

2617
02:22:41,480 --> 02:22:43,760
Speaker 6: eleven innings, since he is within half a game of

2618
02:22:43,800 --> 02:22:46,760
Speaker 6: Arizona for the final wildcard spot in the NL. Best

2619
02:22:46,760 --> 02:22:49,200
Speaker 6: team in baseball, the Braves won again. They beat the

2620
02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:53,360
Speaker 6: Giants seven to three. Red Sox beat the Dodgers eight five. Finally,

2621
02:22:53,400 --> 02:22:55,119
Speaker 6: in golf, you got the final round of the Tour

2622
02:22:55,200 --> 02:22:58,959
Speaker 6: Championship coming up later today. Victor Hovlin with a great

2623
02:22:59,040 --> 02:23:01,720
Speaker 6: day on Saturday. He is now six shots clear of

2624
02:23:01,760 --> 02:23:04,600
Speaker 6: the field at twenty on or Bernie, back to you

2625
02:23:05,040 --> 02:23:05,400
Speaker 6: all right.

2626
02:23:05,440 --> 02:23:09,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, those UMass minute Men opened up

2627
02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:11,280
Speaker 2: as a ten and a half point underdog at New

2628
02:23:11,320 --> 02:23:13,360
Speaker 2: Mexico State. It was bet all the way down to seven.

2629
02:23:13,800 --> 02:23:17,240
Speaker 2: It was a very popular bet among professional betters, and yep,

2630
02:23:17,320 --> 02:23:21,560
Speaker 2: they cashed. They won their first road game in quite

2631
02:23:21,640 --> 02:23:26,120
Speaker 2: some time. All Right, the World Cup may be over,

2632
02:23:26,959 --> 02:23:30,520
Speaker 2: but the world of soccer continues. There's always news. There's

2633
02:23:30,640 --> 02:23:34,000
Speaker 2: news on and off the field, and that's why every

2634
02:23:34,040 --> 02:23:36,680
Speaker 2: week at this time we bring you Chris Burffett's World

2635
02:23:36,720 --> 02:23:37,200
Speaker 2: of Soccer.

2636
02:23:38,640 --> 02:23:54,680
Speaker 1: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international Drumoi, It's

2637
02:23:54,720 --> 02:23:59,119
Speaker 1: all here in this report from the world of Soccer. Well, Bernie,

2638
02:23:59,200 --> 02:24:01,600
Speaker 1: it's been an eventful week in the world of soccer.

2639
02:24:01,640 --> 02:24:03,880
Speaker 1: So we're going to start with the champions of the

2640
02:24:03,920 --> 02:24:08,640
Speaker 1: World in Spain, where the chief of Spanish Soccer is

2641
02:24:08,720 --> 02:24:12,800
Speaker 1: refusing to resign following a firestorm of his own making.

2642
02:24:13,480 --> 02:24:15,920
Speaker 1: This past week, Spain became the Champions of the World,

2643
02:24:15,920 --> 02:24:19,000
Speaker 1: defeating England in the Women's World Cup final, and during

2644
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:23,480
Speaker 1: the metal ceremony, Soccer Federation chief Luis Rubiales grabbed a player,

2645
02:24:23,680 --> 02:24:26,560
Speaker 1: Jennifer Hermosa, a Spanish player, and just kissed her on

2646
02:24:26,600 --> 02:24:33,160
Speaker 1: the lips, unprompted, unscripted, unwanted. Louise claims he had consents

2647
02:24:33,280 --> 02:24:35,840
Speaker 1: that was purely consensual. I don't think he understands the

2648
02:24:35,879 --> 02:24:38,320
Speaker 1: meaning of that word, because Jennifer Hermosa has said that

2649
02:24:38,520 --> 02:24:41,000
Speaker 1: at no point was consent given for him to just

2650
02:24:41,080 --> 02:24:43,879
Speaker 1: kiss her on the lips. This has created a firestorm

2651
02:24:43,879 --> 02:24:47,040
Speaker 1: of his own making and everyone wants him gone. As

2652
02:24:47,040 --> 02:24:49,560
Speaker 1: with all things in twenty twenty three, Rubiales claims he

2653
02:24:49,640 --> 02:24:54,119
Speaker 1: is the victim of quote unquote social assassination, a claim

2654
02:24:54,160 --> 02:24:57,040
Speaker 1: that just flies like an arrow with no fletching whatsoever.

2655
02:24:57,640 --> 02:25:00,759
Speaker 1: His real problem is that the backlash is pretty muchsal

2656
02:25:00,920 --> 02:25:04,520
Speaker 1: The government of Spain is seeking his suspension. Meanwhile, the

2657
02:25:04,879 --> 02:25:08,760
Speaker 1: World Championship squad all twenty three players are preparing to

2658
02:25:08,840 --> 02:25:12,560
Speaker 1: boycott and not to play for their country again while

2659
02:25:12,640 --> 02:25:15,600
Speaker 1: Rubiales remains in charge. It's just one of those moves

2660
02:25:15,600 --> 02:25:19,040
Speaker 1: that seems just utterly incredible. As always with all things

2661
02:25:19,040 --> 02:25:22,280
Speaker 1: in FIFA, these federations are being run by guys who

2662
02:25:22,360 --> 02:25:25,080
Speaker 1: just don't seem to have the script in front of them,

2663
02:25:25,080 --> 02:25:28,720
Speaker 1: who seem to have weird brains whirling in their head.

2664
02:25:30,240 --> 02:25:32,280
Speaker 13: And I think even if you have problems with some

2665
02:25:32,360 --> 02:25:35,800
Speaker 13: of the political stances that soccer players in the women's

2666
02:25:35,800 --> 02:25:37,600
Speaker 13: game take this isn't one of them.

2667
02:25:37,600 --> 02:25:39,960
Speaker 10: This is a pretty easy one. Why is this guy

2668
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:40,600
Speaker 10: being a creep?

2669
02:25:40,840 --> 02:25:42,920
Speaker 13: Moving on, Bernie, I'm sure you and I have talked

2670
02:25:42,920 --> 02:25:47,440
Speaker 13: about Roumelo Lukaku before. Belgium's all time goal scorer, probably

2671
02:25:47,480 --> 02:25:50,160
Speaker 13: one of my favorite players who have seen play in

2672
02:25:50,200 --> 02:25:53,720
Speaker 13: the last few years, a brilliant striker of his own right,

2673
02:25:53,879 --> 02:25:56,200
Speaker 13: and unfortunately the past few years have just not been

2674
02:25:56,320 --> 02:25:57,600
Speaker 13: kind to his career.

2675
02:25:58,200 --> 02:25:59,480
Speaker 10: And yet, in.

2676
02:25:59,360 --> 02:26:02,640
Speaker 13: Spite of all that, he is the last pig piece

2677
02:26:02,959 --> 02:26:06,720
Speaker 13: set to move in this transfer window which is going

2678
02:26:06,760 --> 02:26:10,800
Speaker 13: to close here on September first. Lukaku, as I said,

2679
02:26:10,879 --> 02:26:14,480
Speaker 13: he's Belgium's leading goal scorer. He had a remarkable career

2680
02:26:14,840 --> 02:26:18,200
Speaker 13: for a long time with inter Milan. He took his

2681
02:26:18,240 --> 02:26:21,360
Speaker 13: game to Chelsea and it bombed out in a pretty

2682
02:26:21,360 --> 02:26:24,240
Speaker 13: bad way. Chelsea right now still owns his rights. He

2683
02:26:24,360 --> 02:26:26,680
Speaker 13: was on loan back to inter Milan, his old club

2684
02:26:27,240 --> 02:26:31,600
Speaker 13: last year. When he first arrived in Chelsea, it was

2685
02:26:31,640 --> 02:26:33,560
Speaker 13: greeted with a lot of fanfare. This was a big

2686
02:26:33,560 --> 02:26:36,840
Speaker 13: striking piece they could really use, but Lukaku really never

2687
02:26:36,920 --> 02:26:40,200
Speaker 13: panned out for them, and now relations have gotten so

2688
02:26:40,280 --> 02:26:42,840
Speaker 13: bad with the club that Lukaku hasn't spoken with their

2689
02:26:42,920 --> 02:26:46,120
Speaker 13: new coach since July first. He's done with the club

2690
02:26:46,120 --> 02:26:48,440
Speaker 13: and he's ready to go somewhere else, which now leaves

2691
02:26:48,480 --> 02:26:51,320
Speaker 13: us with two questions. One where could he go? And

2692
02:26:51,360 --> 02:26:54,240
Speaker 13: two could Lucaku still even be good as where he

2693
02:26:54,240 --> 02:26:58,000
Speaker 13: could go? Bernie, that's kind of a little complicated. Lukaku

2694
02:26:58,040 --> 02:27:00,520
Speaker 13: himself has some power in this and he rejected proposal

2695
02:27:00,520 --> 02:27:02,440
Speaker 13: that would have seen him go to the Saudi club

2696
02:27:02,720 --> 02:27:06,600
Speaker 13: Al Halal. As Saudi Arabia continues to make their footprint

2697
02:27:06,680 --> 02:27:09,840
Speaker 13: for the Saudi Super League known in this transfer window,

2698
02:27:09,879 --> 02:27:12,960
Speaker 13: it's alarmed a lot of English clubs in the relentless

2699
02:27:13,080 --> 02:27:17,280
Speaker 13: courting of big names. It's caused several managers to weigh

2700
02:27:17,320 --> 02:27:19,440
Speaker 13: in on just how much money they have thrown around

2701
02:27:19,480 --> 02:27:22,880
Speaker 13: to get names like Lukaku and other players. Many of

2702
02:27:22,920 --> 02:27:25,840
Speaker 13: those players have rejected it. Lukaku happens to be one

2703
02:27:25,840 --> 02:27:28,240
Speaker 13: of them as well. Inter Milan was in the cards,

2704
02:27:28,240 --> 02:27:31,680
Speaker 13: but apparently there was a fan backlash reportedly that has

2705
02:27:31,879 --> 02:27:35,160
Speaker 13: taken that off the table. In Milan has now withdrawn

2706
02:27:35,200 --> 02:27:40,840
Speaker 13: that proposal. Two more Italian clubs in play, Juventus and Roma. Juventus,

2707
02:27:40,879 --> 02:27:43,119
Speaker 13: of course, is always in the market for big names,

2708
02:27:43,440 --> 02:27:47,640
Speaker 13: but apparently, according to some reports and rumors, Lukaku isn't

2709
02:27:47,680 --> 02:27:51,039
Speaker 13: really that keen on playing with Juventus. That leaves Roma

2710
02:27:51,120 --> 02:27:53,520
Speaker 13: and Ruma is intriguing for a lot of reasons, mostly

2711
02:27:53,560 --> 02:27:56,840
Speaker 13: because Jose Mourinho, who we've talked about before, Bernie, I

2712
02:27:56,879 --> 02:27:59,680
Speaker 13: know you love Jose Mourinho, was a manager that has

2713
02:27:59,760 --> 02:28:03,520
Speaker 13: worked with Lukaku for many, many years. A reunion could

2714
02:28:03,520 --> 02:28:05,920
Speaker 13: be in the cards. We'll have to see as the

2715
02:28:05,959 --> 02:28:10,840
Speaker 13: window keeps closing. As for whether Lukaku is still good,

2716
02:28:11,040 --> 02:28:14,280
Speaker 13: I believe so. I believe he's just been under the

2717
02:28:14,320 --> 02:28:16,680
Speaker 13: management of some pretty bad fits in the past few

2718
02:28:16,720 --> 02:28:19,680
Speaker 13: years at Chelsea and inter Milan, and a fresh change

2719
02:28:19,720 --> 02:28:22,400
Speaker 13: of scenery is exactly what he needs. He's thirty years

2720
02:28:22,440 --> 02:28:26,120
Speaker 13: old for this year, he's entering that last stage of

2721
02:28:26,120 --> 02:28:28,640
Speaker 13: his prime and he absolutely still has at least a

2722
02:28:28,680 --> 02:28:31,320
Speaker 13: few good years under him. I think he just needs

2723
02:28:31,360 --> 02:28:34,200
Speaker 13: the right spot. And finally, Bernie, we close it with

2724
02:28:34,440 --> 02:28:39,440
Speaker 13: talking about a very somber story here as San Diego,

2725
02:28:39,600 --> 02:28:41,840
Speaker 13: in spite of getting an MLS club, is going to

2726
02:28:41,879 --> 02:28:45,480
Speaker 13: be saying farewell to one of their clubs, San Diego Loyal,

2727
02:28:45,480 --> 02:28:49,800
Speaker 13: who plays in the USL Championship will be folding following

2728
02:28:49,840 --> 02:28:53,200
Speaker 13: the twenty twenty three season. This is notable for several reasons.

2729
02:28:53,400 --> 02:28:57,320
Speaker 13: Loyal was founded and co owned by Landon Donovan, the

2730
02:28:57,760 --> 02:29:00,720
Speaker 13: All American great who played for them men's team for

2731
02:29:00,760 --> 02:29:03,080
Speaker 13: so many years. A lot of the reasons why they're

2732
02:29:03,120 --> 02:29:05,800
Speaker 13: closing has been that they have cited problems with finding

2733
02:29:05,800 --> 02:29:08,160
Speaker 13: a near and long term stadium solution. Right now, they

2734
02:29:08,200 --> 02:29:11,000
Speaker 13: play at the University of San Diego or six thousand

2735
02:29:11,080 --> 02:29:13,720
Speaker 13: Seed Venue. They were trying to seek a modular stadium

2736
02:29:13,720 --> 02:29:17,600
Speaker 13: of about fifteen to twenty thousand people to be seated there.

2737
02:29:18,040 --> 02:29:21,640
Speaker 13: But it strikes odd because it's not like USL clubs,

2738
02:29:21,640 --> 02:29:25,240
Speaker 13: and if you're unfamiliar with USL, USL forms the next

2739
02:29:25,280 --> 02:29:29,279
Speaker 13: tier of what in the soccer period of play below MLS.

2740
02:29:29,320 --> 02:29:32,600
Speaker 13: It's nothing as formal as say the English Football League

2741
02:29:32,600 --> 02:29:36,200
Speaker 13: and the Premier League in England, but it's kind of

2742
02:29:36,240 --> 02:29:40,400
Speaker 13: the assumed pecking order of American soccer. We've seen clubs

2743
02:29:40,400 --> 02:29:42,800
Speaker 13: full before down there, but they've always kind of given

2744
02:29:42,879 --> 02:29:45,600
Speaker 13: hints that we're in some sort of economic trouble. I

2745
02:29:45,640 --> 02:29:47,039
Speaker 13: think a lot of this has to do with the

2746
02:29:47,040 --> 02:29:49,760
Speaker 13: fact that MLS is committed to putting a team in

2747
02:29:49,879 --> 02:29:53,520
Speaker 13: San Diego and Loyal. I believe the people in charge

2748
02:29:53,560 --> 02:29:56,119
Speaker 13: realize that they are about to get crushed by this

2749
02:29:56,160 --> 02:29:59,000
Speaker 13: new thing coming. USL clubs offer a lot more of

2750
02:29:59,040 --> 02:30:04,240
Speaker 13: a grassroot, this organization of fans and fan culture for soccer,

2751
02:30:04,560 --> 02:30:07,800
Speaker 13: versus something like MLS, which is wholly owned by massive

2752
02:30:07,840 --> 02:30:10,760
Speaker 13: billionaires who then go and buy a club and give

2753
02:30:10,879 --> 02:30:13,760
Speaker 13: MLS money to own that club. I would have thought

2754
02:30:13,760 --> 02:30:16,120
Speaker 13: support would continue for it in spite of the fact

2755
02:30:16,160 --> 02:30:20,840
Speaker 13: that there would be something like a MLS San Diego team,

2756
02:30:20,879 --> 02:30:23,800
Speaker 13: but apparently not, and we are starting to give up

2757
02:30:23,800 --> 02:30:24,160
Speaker 13: the ghost.

2758
02:30:24,240 --> 02:30:25,119
Speaker 10: It's a sad day.

2759
02:30:25,240 --> 02:30:28,400
Speaker 13: San Diego Loyal was one of the more cherish clubs

2760
02:30:28,400 --> 02:30:30,320
Speaker 13: in the USL, and it's sad to see them go.

2761
02:30:30,879 --> 02:30:32,680
Speaker 13: That's gonna do it for the world of soccer, Bernie,

2762
02:30:32,760 --> 02:30:35,680
Speaker 13: as always, We'll see you next time, all.

2763
02:30:35,640 --> 02:30:37,959
Speaker 2: Right, Chris Pohfet's World of Soccer. By the way, he's right,

2764
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:40,440
Speaker 2: I do like Jose Mourinho. I get a kick out

2765
02:30:40,440 --> 02:30:44,320
Speaker 2: of him. Chris invoked his name when we first started

2766
02:30:44,360 --> 02:30:49,440
Speaker 2: doing this little feature about eighteen months ago, prior to

2767
02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:53,320
Speaker 2: the lead into Men's World Cup, which was last fall.

2768
02:30:53,520 --> 02:30:57,000
Speaker 2: You recall we started in the summer. And Jose Mourinho,

2769
02:30:57,000 --> 02:30:58,800
Speaker 2: if you do some research, he's kind of like he's

2770
02:30:58,920 --> 02:31:02,520
Speaker 2: very much what I would call the European soccer's version

2771
02:31:02,640 --> 02:31:08,520
Speaker 2: of Bill Belichick in many many ways. So that Earling Holland.

2772
02:31:08,560 --> 02:31:10,279
Speaker 2: You know, you hear the names, you hear the events,

2773
02:31:10,320 --> 02:31:14,280
Speaker 2: and it never ends. So Chris purfets World of Soccer

2774
02:31:14,360 --> 02:31:19,040
Speaker 2: coming up? Can Georgia? Can the Georgia Bulldogs? Three pete?

2775
02:31:19,400 --> 02:31:23,240
Speaker 2: I say, yes they can, and yes, you know it

2776
02:31:23,280 --> 02:31:26,440
Speaker 2: hasn't been done in ninety years. I'll tell you who

2777
02:31:26,480 --> 02:31:30,080
Speaker 2: the last team did it, who had done it? And

2778
02:31:30,080 --> 02:31:33,400
Speaker 2: by the way, why hasn't it been done in ninety years.

2779
02:31:33,840 --> 02:31:36,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the reason why, and it's there

2780
02:31:36,080 --> 02:31:38,280
Speaker 2: right in front of you. You don't stop to think

2781
02:31:38,280 --> 02:31:40,520
Speaker 2: about it. But when I tell you, you're gonna be going,

2782
02:31:41,320 --> 02:31:44,039
Speaker 2: you know you're right. That's why it hasn't been done

2783
02:31:44,080 --> 02:31:46,560
Speaker 2: in ninety years. I'm Bernie Frattle. Where coming to you?

2800
02:32:53,240 --> 02:32:57,199
Speaker 2: among other things. Well, so now the college football is back.

Speaker 2: It is officially back, and we'll have a slate Thursday

2802
02:32:59,800 --> 02:33:02,440
Speaker 2: night and then well in the next weekend. It is here.

2803
02:33:02,560 --> 02:33:05,879
Speaker 2: See it takes so long, It wasn't so bad. And

2804
02:33:06,040 --> 02:33:08,840
Speaker 2: like I said earlier, look, you know you can make

2805
02:33:08,840 --> 02:33:10,600
Speaker 2: fun of week zero, but it's like when your buddy

2806
02:33:10,600 --> 02:33:12,920
Speaker 2: invites you over to have a pizza and you get

2807
02:33:12,920 --> 02:33:14,360
Speaker 2: over there and you say, what are we gonna have tonight,

2808
02:33:14,400 --> 02:33:15,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna have deep dish, or we're gonna have a

2809
02:33:16,080 --> 02:33:19,640
Speaker 2: you know, Chicago style or New York. Then what and

2810
02:33:19,680 --> 02:33:21,800
Speaker 2: he serves a frozen pizza, you might, you know, you

2811
02:33:21,879 --> 02:33:23,879
Speaker 2: might give him a sade. After two seconds, then you're

2812
02:33:23,920 --> 02:33:26,520
Speaker 2: diving into that pizza because you like pizza. Well, Week

2813
02:33:26,640 --> 02:33:28,440
Speaker 2: zero is kind of like frozen pizza. It's not your

2814
02:33:28,480 --> 02:33:31,360
Speaker 2: first choice, but you ain't complaining. You're gonna you know,

2815
02:33:31,400 --> 02:33:33,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna put it. It's gonna be headed straight for

2816
02:33:33,360 --> 02:33:36,840
Speaker 2: your face. All right, I'm glad college football's back. I

2817
02:33:36,879 --> 02:33:40,920
Speaker 2: thoroughly enjoyed today. Are already there are story lines developing.

2818
02:33:41,280 --> 02:33:44,600
Speaker 2: One of of course, the biggest one is can Georgia

2819
02:33:44,640 --> 02:33:48,800
Speaker 2: three peet Now, unbeknownst to most, there actually was a

2820
02:33:48,879 --> 02:33:51,600
Speaker 2: college that did this. They did it in nineteen thirty four,

2821
02:33:51,720 --> 02:33:53,720
Speaker 2: thirty five, and thirty six. That would be, of course,

2822
02:33:54,080 --> 02:33:57,520
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Why did I say, of course twice?

2823
02:33:57,520 --> 02:34:00,880
Speaker 2: I hate when I do that, the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

2824
02:34:01,400 --> 02:34:05,400
Speaker 2: So why hasn't a team We're three petd as pat

2825
02:34:05,440 --> 02:34:09,320
Speaker 2: Riley would say, in the last ninety years, I have

2826
02:34:09,480 --> 02:34:12,440
Speaker 2: decided on a reason, and I'm securing the knowledge that

2827
02:34:12,480 --> 02:34:16,800
Speaker 2: this reason makes a lot of sense because until only recently,

2828
02:34:18,320 --> 02:34:22,360
Speaker 2: the damn thing was decided on the field. Prior to that,

2829
02:34:22,520 --> 02:34:25,360
Speaker 2: it was left to the you know, the whims of

2830
02:34:25,520 --> 02:34:31,480
Speaker 2: voters for ap and upi hey. Nineteen seventy eight, USC

2831
02:34:31,560 --> 02:34:34,120
Speaker 2: went down to Alabama, kicked their tail, I relieved in

2832
02:34:34,160 --> 02:34:36,760
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven. Late in the fourth quarter, Alabama

2833
02:34:36,800 --> 02:34:39,720
Speaker 2: got an excuse me touchdown. That USC team was phenomenal,

2834
02:34:39,959 --> 02:34:44,080
Speaker 2: went on to beat Michigan and the Rose Bowl, and

2835
02:34:45,440 --> 02:34:47,960
Speaker 2: they split the championship with Bama, even though USC beat

2836
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:53,240
Speaker 2: Bama and Obama. But the greater, the more egregious omission

2837
02:34:53,320 --> 02:34:59,440
Speaker 2: for me, the nineteen sixty six Alabama Crinston Tide. There's

2838
02:34:59,440 --> 02:35:02,280
Speaker 2: no reason they should have not been awarded the national

2839
02:35:02,360 --> 02:35:05,920
Speaker 2: championship in nineteen sixty six because but it wasn't. But

2840
02:35:05,959 --> 02:35:08,440
Speaker 2: they weren't because it wasn't decided on the field. That

2841
02:35:08,560 --> 02:35:11,200
Speaker 2: Alabama team had won the championship in sixty four and

2842
02:35:11,240 --> 02:35:13,600
Speaker 2: sixty five, and then what are they do in sixty six?

2843
02:35:13,680 --> 02:35:16,840
Speaker 2: They go eleven to zero, eleven and oh they had

2844
02:35:16,959 --> 02:35:20,320
Speaker 2: six shutouts. And in the final game of the season,

2845
02:35:20,959 --> 02:35:24,440
Speaker 2: they play Nebraska in the Sugar Bowl and they molly

2846
02:35:24,480 --> 02:35:27,119
Speaker 2: wop them, as Kevin Figures would say, thirty four to seven,

2847
02:35:27,959 --> 02:35:31,560
Speaker 2: and they're not awarded the national championship. It was awarded

2848
02:35:31,560 --> 02:35:36,200
Speaker 2: to Michigan State and Notre Dame. They split it because

2849
02:35:36,200 --> 02:35:39,240
Speaker 2: they tied ten ten and what some folks believe is

2850
02:35:39,240 --> 02:35:41,400
Speaker 2: one of the greatest games of all time ten ten

2851
02:35:41,480 --> 02:35:44,800
Speaker 2: tie nineteen sixty six. Tell me Bama got robbed. Here's

2852
02:35:44,800 --> 02:35:49,600
Speaker 2: what's really odd about this because the nineteen sixty four

2853
02:35:49,720 --> 02:35:53,440
Speaker 2: Alabama team which actually won the national championship, lost to

2854
02:35:53,520 --> 02:35:56,840
Speaker 2: Texas in their bowl game in the final, in their

2855
02:35:56,879 --> 02:36:00,720
Speaker 2: final contest of the season, and yet they are awarded

2856
02:36:00,879 --> 02:36:04,120
Speaker 2: the national championship. Go figure. That's why there hasn't been

2857
02:36:04,120 --> 02:36:07,720
Speaker 2: a three peat because up until recently it was voted on,

2858
02:36:08,720 --> 02:36:11,640
Speaker 2: not decided on the field, and I think the voters

2859
02:36:11,640 --> 02:36:14,800
Speaker 2: were just not gonna give Bama a break in sixty six. Now,

2860
02:36:14,879 --> 02:36:16,960
Speaker 2: winning the national championship three years in a rows no

2861
02:36:17,040 --> 02:36:19,480
Speaker 2: easy task, but I believe Georgia's position to do it.

2862
02:36:19,879 --> 02:36:23,160
Speaker 2: They're loaded, they got to replace their quarterback. You're gonna

2863
02:36:23,160 --> 02:36:25,320
Speaker 2: meet Carson Beck, You're gonna hear about them. But you

2864
02:36:25,440 --> 02:36:28,720
Speaker 2: still got Lad McConkey. You still got brock Bauers. They

2865
02:36:28,800 --> 02:36:33,280
Speaker 2: got two stud transfer portal receivers from Mississippi State Missouri guys.

2866
02:36:33,320 --> 02:36:36,920
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear Bart roerh Thomas, Dominic Levitt. They'll make

2867
02:36:36,959 --> 02:36:40,680
Speaker 2: a major impact. How about the offensive line, Bet you

2868
02:36:40,720 --> 02:36:45,480
Speaker 2: didn't know. Georgia returns four starters. Four guys were starting

2869
02:36:45,520 --> 02:36:49,560
Speaker 2: experience and that is the core of your football team.

2870
02:36:49,879 --> 02:36:52,879
Speaker 2: Georgia's defense, believe it or not, twenty twenty two was

2871
02:36:52,920 --> 02:36:56,320
Speaker 2: allegedly the rebuilding year on defense. It's clear to see

2872
02:36:56,320 --> 02:36:58,800
Speaker 2: when you look at the returning production. You start naming

2873
02:36:58,840 --> 02:37:01,959
Speaker 2: the names. Georgia loaded on defense, load it on offense.

2874
02:37:02,160 --> 02:37:03,959
Speaker 2: Their special teams will be good again. And in the

2875
02:37:04,000 --> 02:37:07,680
Speaker 2: final analysis, I don't think Georgie is going anywhere. They'll

2876
02:37:07,680 --> 02:37:10,600
Speaker 2: have another elite defense, a big playoffense, and let's not

2877
02:37:10,720 --> 02:37:14,720
Speaker 2: forget a very manageable schedule. Take a look at their schedule.

2878
02:37:15,040 --> 02:37:17,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna be heavily favored in every game until they

2879
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:19,960
Speaker 2: get to Neil and Tennessee November seventh. They'll be favored

2880
02:37:19,959 --> 02:37:22,600
Speaker 2: in that game. Not by a lot, but they'll be favored.

2881
02:37:23,120 --> 02:37:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't see them tripping up, which means they get

2882
02:37:25,760 --> 02:37:28,160
Speaker 2: into the SEC championship game. This is where they live.

2883
02:37:28,440 --> 02:37:30,959
Speaker 2: And if they're undefeated and lose, they can still be

2884
02:37:31,000 --> 02:37:34,320
Speaker 2: invited to the Big Dance. And if Georgia gets back

2885
02:37:34,360 --> 02:37:37,640
Speaker 2: into the playoffs, they'll close the deal. That's where they live. Yeah,

2886
02:37:37,680 --> 02:37:41,840
Speaker 2: I think Georgia is going to three peat. We shall see.

2887
02:37:42,280 --> 02:37:44,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna do it for the Bernie Frattle Show. But

2888
02:37:44,480 --> 02:37:46,960
Speaker 2: don't go anywhere, keep it locked right here. Up next,

2889
02:37:47,200 --> 02:37:50,840
Speaker 2: They're great. Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio,
