1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing? 2 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm excited because we're gonna do a little mail bag today. 3 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: Just watched the Rose Bowl. Obviously Ohio State dominated, and 4 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: I went on with Colin. We recorded actually a halftime 5 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: of that game. That's what we do when they're down 6 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: thirty four to nothing. So we did a little look 7 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: back at some of the college games. I was gonna 8 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: do something today with Jackson, but they moved back the 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: other game. Hopefully they still play it. We'll find out 10 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: in the next twenty four hours. Notre Dame Georgia, so 11 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: we'll do that tomorrow, react to that game. So today 12 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: I thought, let's just do a mail because I wanted 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: to get something up, So let's do a mail bag. 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: Your boy was really hurting yesterday during the day. I've 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: had back to back My IV lady has come over twice, 16 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: and honestly, it might have saved my life because I 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: was not literally but I was in pretty bad shape 18 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: and gotten back to back ivs. I've never done that before, 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: and it's worked, and it's worked wonders and now I 20 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: feel like I'm on the men. Just still heads a 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: little stuffy, but my body I couldn't keep my eyes open. 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: I was sleeping like twenty hours a day. It's like 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: a dog or a cat. But now I'm alive and 24 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: you need to talk a little football and twenty twenty five, 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: so happy New Year, and yeah, let's talk some ball. 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: But before we do, you know, I gotta tell you 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: about my friends, my partners in the official ticketing app 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: of this podcast, game Time.

Okay, 41 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: let's dive into the mailbag. We'll start with Kellen John, 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the potential Chargers versus Chiefs 43 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: Divisional round game assuming the Chargers get the five seat 44 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: and beat the Texans. As a Chargers fan, I am 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: hungry for another shot at KC, and we have a 46 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: better chance of winning in Kansas City, then we would 47 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: be going on the road to Buffalo or Baltimore because 48 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: the style of teams, we always play them close, but 49 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: have lost seven times in a row. We gotta get 50 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: them eventually. I do think Kansas City would much rather 51 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: play like the Texans at home or the Steelers at home, 52 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: then not just the Charger but Denver as well, because 53 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: those two teams, if you look at their potential opponents, right, 54 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: they can't play Buffalo and they can't play Baltimore, but 55 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: they could play basically Kansas or Houston Texans on down, 56 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: they could play any of those teams. And if somehow 57 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh were upset Baltimore and Denver, let's say upsets, I 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: guess they probably wouldn't upset Buffalo. But the Chargers, Yeah, 59 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's just gonna be tough. I 60 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: think more than likely, especially the way the Chiefs have 61 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: played these last couple of weeks, it looks like they 62 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: flipped a switch. But sometimes when you flip a switch, 63 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: you get the momentum rolling. Then you just stop playing. 64 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: Because this week they're going with Carson Wentz, which obviously 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't I don't blame them at all for going 66 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: with their back, you know, the backup quarterback. But then 67 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: you're not gonna play another week. So which they're a 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: veteran team, it's it's the right move. But whoever they 69 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: would be to play, especially if it is the Chargers, 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: which I guess now I talk it out's much more 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: likely than the Broncos. But I do think that the 72 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: Chargers would have moment. You know, they've just been playing, right, 73 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: They won last week, they'll win again this week, and 74 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: then they'll if they beat the Texans. They've just been 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: playing a lot of football now, like there'll be a 76 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: seven point underdog. I don't think the Chiefs were thinking 77 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: too long and hard about it's the playoffs. They gotta 78 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: play hard teams. I mean, last year they went on 79 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: the road and they beat Buffalo in the second round. 80 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: But I do think they would just be more susceptible 81 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: to the two divisional teams than they would be the 82 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Steelers of the Texans. I would be much more nervous 83 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: if I was a Chiefs fan playing the Broncos or 84 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: playing the Chargers, especially now with Harbaugh and Sean Payton, 85 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: than I would playing Mike Tomlin or the Texans team 86 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: Like I would expect to beat the shit out of 87 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: those two, but the other two, I could just see 88 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: where it could get weird. Why is it so rare 89 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: for gms to be rehired after losing their first job, 90 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: especially if I'm a bad organ I'd much rather go 91 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: with a guy like Rick Spielman, Thomas Demetrov or John 92 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: Dorsey that has shown they can put together a good 93 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: roster rather than taking a chance on an unproven GM. 94 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: Curious to hear your thoughts. I don't know. I mean, 95 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: I was told a long time ago by a buddy 96 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: of mine who was a fired GM. He said, John, 97 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: we don't get second chances, not like coaches. And I 98 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: don't know how why to define that, But there's something 99 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: with a retread coach, right like Mike Vrabel's technically a retread, 100 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: but no one looks at him like a failure or 101 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: someone that you wouldn't want to hire. If Pete Carroll 102 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick were sixty five instead of seventy two, 103 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: they would have easily been rehired. So I think part 104 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: of it is sometimes you look for the next best thing. 105 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes you maybe that guy is more tied to your money. 106 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: And when a guy gets fired, he makes financial des 107 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: decisions for the owner. So there's more of a stink 108 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: that carries with him. I'm just speaking out. I don't know, 109 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to. I have no clue. Because every GM, 110 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: the good ones and the bad ones make bad you know, 111 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: miss on picks, rite or sign bad free agents. I 112 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: don't know. I can't not sure why that happens, but 113 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: it clearly happens. By his performance in the Peach Bowl. 114 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: Did Skataboo boost his draft stock to the first round. 115 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: He reminds me of a five to eleven Peyton Hillis. 116 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Skataboo will be a first round pick. 117 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: I think he will be a second day selection. One 118 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: thing I think that's gonna hurt him, and I can 119 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: see this coming is and this is stupid, because this 120 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: is what happens when we get to draft season. He's 121 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: gonna go to the combine and I would imagine he's 122 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: not gonna run that fast. Let's just say he runs 123 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: a four to seven. I hope he doesn't, but let's 124 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: just say he runs a four to seven. Oh, that 125 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: won't be ideal for his draft stock. He'd be like 126 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: middle cooff, what are you talking about? I'm like, listen, 127 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't make the rules. These are just the rules, right. 128 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Anyone who's ever shot for houses knows there are certain 129 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: things in a house when it comes to square footage. 130 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: The amount of bathrooms, the amount of bedrooms, size of 131 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: the kitchen, the size of the backyard, how many car 132 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: garage that factor into the market value of the home, 133 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: no different than a car has ever been in a wreck, 134 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: how many miles on it, what year is it, what 135 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: model is it? Like, these things factor in well runs great, 136 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna love living there. It doesn't matter because this 137 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: is a market value exercise of where you get drafted. 138 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: So if you run slow, that will knock him down 139 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. But anyone with a brain, if you 140 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: watch him, that guy's a football player, and a really 141 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: good football player, and running back is one of those 142 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: positions more than most where instincts and feel for the 143 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: position are stuff that separates guys, and if you have 144 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: elite physical attribute, it's like, you know, Adrian Peterson is 145 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: one of the most physically gifted running backs of all time. 146 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: It didn't really matter that he couldn't catch her. Ironically, 147 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: for a size and strength, wouldn't pass block. But he 148 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: was such a good runner it didn't matter. Most other 149 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: guys you get nitpicked. And to me, Skataboo is just 150 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just, He's just a ballplayer. And to me, 151 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: he's got Jim Harbaugh written all over them. I feel 152 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: like Jim Harbaugh is gonna love that guy. If John 153 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: Gruden was coaching, I feel like John Gruden would have 154 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: loved that guy. I'll tell you who's gonna like that guy. 155 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Andy Reid is gonna like that guy. Why did early 156 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: in the season Carson Steel get some reps because Andy 157 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: Reid loved that guy from washing him play at the 158 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: MAC two years ago. If you think Andy Reid is 159 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: not gonna like Skataboo, like I useduld be crazy. Now 160 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: they're not gonna take him in the first round, but 161 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: would they take him at the end of the second round, 162 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, pick sixty two. I just it's there are 163 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: a lot of guys in this draft. They're gonna be 164 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: NFL starters at running back, which I think can hurt 165 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: Skataboo a little bit. My guess is he goes somewhere 166 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: between fifty and seventy, just based on not knowing anything. 167 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: I'm assuming high character, you know, all that stuff checks off. 168 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: Never heard anything bad but his forty speed, which is 169 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: stupid because there's a running back, Like, how many forty 170 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: yard runs are you gonna have? You know, Saquans and 171 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry are pretty rare guys that are long, you know, 172 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: breakout guys that have sixty seventy eighty yard runs. If 173 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: you're getting me twenty thirty yard runs, that's all I need. 174 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: But I do wonder if that's gonna hurt him a 175 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: little bit. But today was fucking awesome. How much fun 176 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: was watching Skataboo just carrie his team in that game. 177 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: I think same about Genty. I feel like I learned 178 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: more watching Genty in Scataboo play against Penn State in 179 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: Texas than I did in a lot of their games 180 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: when they went nuts against lesser opponents because they were 181 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: facing NFL fronts and they just willed their way to 182 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: yards and they just it was just like this is awesome. 183 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: This is football right here. Question for the podcast do 184 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: you think Ohio State lost to Michigan on purpose? Like 185 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: was it a strategic loss to not have to play 186 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: in the conference championship game? Watching them play in Tennessee 187 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: and now against Oregon seems like some sandbag playing calling 188 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: might have been possible. Obviously, you're better off in a 189 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: weird way not playing the conference championship game if you lose. 190 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: If you lose that conference championship game, it's just you 191 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: got to play the extra game and then you still 192 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, like Penn State, So you're just playing 193 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: extra games on your body. And you look at Penn State, 194 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, their best player, Carter, and it's now banged up. 195 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: Hopefully he's healthy. But I do not think they try 196 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: to lose that game, because the way Ryan Day talked 197 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: about it, the way they're players Attech now, the way 198 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: you're saying, you know, the players might not have to 199 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: be involved in a sandbag but the way they attacked 200 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: everyone after the game, I think it's pretty fair to 201 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: assume that they just had a bad game. Watching Michigan's 202 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: defense against Alabama, now, these Bowl games. I don't put 203 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: that much stock into partly because some of these games, 204 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you have ten, fifteen to twenty guys opting out, 205 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: some of them to the transfer portal, some of them 206 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: to the NFL draft. I mean A and M had 207 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: a USC beat tex A and M. Google how many 208 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: guys from TEXA and M did not play in that game. 209 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: So I think it's hard to put a value a 210 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: draft on a bowl game. Who won, who lost, who 211 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: plays well, who doesn't. But I do think Ohio State 212 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: clearly tried to win that game, and they just played 213 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: their worst game of the season. And one thing is 214 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: pretty clear watching Ohio State these last couple of weeks 215 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: is I just had a buddy that scouts in the 216 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: NFL say he thinks Jeremiah Smith's the best college of 217 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: wide receiver he's ever seen. I mean, when God made 218 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: that guy, it's like this, That's what an NFL player 219 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: looks like. I tell you that much, Mailbag. There's been 220 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about the flaws of the college 221 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: football this year, mainly focused on the fact that twelve 222 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: teams that are in are not the true, actual twelve 223 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: best teams in the country, and that it's not possible 224 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: to get an accurate gauge on who the best twelve 225 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: teams are because the schedule difficulty vary so much in 226 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: college football. One fix I've thought of is this they 227 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: reduce both the number of conference games each team plays 228 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: and put a set list of teams eligible for the 229 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: College FOOTBA playoffs. This list would include all Power four teams, 230 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and maybe a few non P four teams, 231 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: but I'd be fine with leaving the non P four 232 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: teams out altogether. That's a problem. Let me stop you 233 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: right there. The reason they had to include them is 234 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: so like the Mountain West wouldn't sue, so you have 235 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: to include them. That's the reason they're in now. Boise 236 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: showed like they're clearly a top fifteen team in the country, 237 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: but they have to include like to give them an 238 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: invite to the Dancer, they would get sued. Each of 239 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: these teams will only play four conference games, and the 240 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: other eight games would be played against other Power four 241 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: teams outside of the conference. The primary goal for scheduling 242 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: would be to even out the scheduling difficulty, so the 243 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: gap between the easiest and harder schedules is as small 244 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: as possible, making a ten and two Big Twelfth record 245 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: worth the same as a ten and twelve record. Thoughts 246 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: one more thing. Each team could be given the right 247 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: to pick two opponents each year so they can maintain 248 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: certain rivalries. So Ohio State could be guaranteed to play 249 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: Michigan and Penn State each year, and Bama could be 250 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: guaranteed to play Auburn or Georgia or same for everyone 251 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: else EAC. I think the pushback would be the SEC 252 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: says what we do together is financially worth more than 253 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: the other conferences. So when you get to play us 254 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: like our television deal and the SEC games are worth 255 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: the most right now in the country, so meaning our properties, 256 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: Like when all miss plays Georgia or Alabama plays LSU, 257 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: those games are the most valuable throughout the course of 258 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: the season, and the Big Ten is second. So when 259 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: we split up those matchups, we neutralize or not even 260 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: we diminish our earning power. So when we let Penn 261 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: State play Utah and this is not a shot at Utah, 262 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: I love Utah's program, or we let Alabama play North Carolina, 263 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: we are giving you free money. And that's where I 264 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: think this is difficult, is all these conferences are like 265 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: independent entities, so it's just fucked up. I hear what 266 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: you're doing, and your heart's in the right place. But 267 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: the SEC would never agree to that, The Big Ten 268 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: would never agree to that. The Big twelve might, but 269 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: those two conferences would not. I think I heard McShay 270 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: or someone say within the last couple of weeks that 271 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: what is going to happen is the college football playoff 272 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: buys are going to turn out to be the Big 273 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Ten winner gets a buy, the SEC winner gets a buy, 274 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: and then you just pick the other two teams to 275 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: get to buy who you think are the best two teams. 276 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: It's like, because the SEC and the Big ten have 277 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: all the power, and they're going to start yielding their power, 278 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: so the SEC. What I think should happen is every 279 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: conference should play nine conference games, even ten conference games, 280 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: and then your other two conference games are against other 281 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: two big you know, So if you're an SEC team, 282 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: you play nine conference games and then your other three 283 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: opponents are from the Big twelve or the ACC, And 284 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: the Big Ten does the same thing. The Big Ten 285 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: plays nine conference games and their other three opponents are 286 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: from the ACC or the Big Ten or the Big 287 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: twelve and it kind of rotates that way. That's how 288 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: I think I would do it, but I wouldn't take 289 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: away from Big ten or SEC games. 290 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: It's the most wonderful time of year for getting in 291 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: on all the hoops, football, and hockey action at the 292 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: DraftKings Sportsbook.

Why is it dam Quinn 322 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: gaining any momentum for Coach of the Year. He took 323 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: the second worst team in the NFL to an eleven 324 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: win team and not a ton of talent, something this 325 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: team has not accomplished in over twenty years. I think 326 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year is a little like the MVP, 327 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: that the momentum and the narrative starts early and then 328 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: it's hard to slow it down. Like Kevin O'Connell, people 329 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: were all in on that early and then they never 330 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: really pivoted. It's like what he's done is awesome, and 331 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: obviously if he beats the Lions, I got no issue 332 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: with him winning the award. But they were making a 333 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: playoff push last year before Kirk Cousins tore his achilles. 334 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: They won like twelve or thirteen games two years ago. 335 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: So like his team's been good with a lot of 336 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: these same players. Not trying to diminish anything he's doing. 337 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: I would say the same Dan Quinn and Jim Harbaugh. 338 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn's team drafted second, Jim harboss team drafted fifth. 339 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: They were dogshit. If it was comeback Player of the Year, 340 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: but it was for Coach of the Year, it'd be 341 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: between those two guys. Now, I think that Kevin O'Connell 342 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: thinks pretty easy. They were not good last year. But yeah, 343 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just there's just no overcoming that momentum. 344 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: I think, what Dan Campbell. If Dan Campbell wins this game, 345 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: I think he has to win it because of how 346 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: many injuries they've had. Got a question for the mailback. 347 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: Over the past year, we saw a running back market 348 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: changed dramatically Beginning twenty twenty four, with no one wanting 349 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: to pay running backs big money to running backs being 350 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: recognized again as essential for team's success despite it being 351 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: a passing heavy league. Do you believe this season running 352 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: backs are being highly valued again is directly connected to 353 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: having a franchise quarterback. During the past few seasons, we 354 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: saw teams find their franchise quarterback, and now the good 355 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: portion has theirs. It seems as if now the running 356 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: back in those teams are gaining or having career years. Also, 357 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: if you do agree, do you think teams should focus 358 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: more on paying big contracts to a dynamic receiver in 359 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: quarterback duo or a consistent running back in quarterback duo? 360 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: I think I would rather have one of the star 361 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: running backs, like I'd rather have you know, Gibbs on 362 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: a rookie contract. But let's you Saque who makes thirteen 363 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: twelve million dollars a year and a solid wide receiver 364 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: than a thirty million dollar wide receiver and a fifty 365 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: million dollar quarterback and just random running backs. Now, Jefferson's 366 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: a bad example because he's the best, but let's just 367 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: use non like Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase. I think 368 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: you could make a legit argument. Would you rather have 369 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs, you know, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry. It depends 370 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: how good your offensive line is, in what style quarterback 371 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: you have, But I don't know. The more I think 372 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: about it, I was like, I'd rather have Justin Jefferson, 373 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: would rather have Jamar Chase. You know, if you're an 374 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 1: Eagles fan right now, would you rather have Saquon or 375 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: just a middle tier running back? Or AJ Brown or 376 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: a middle tier wide receiver if you could only keep 377 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: one of the two guys. The good part the argument 378 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: for you guys like we got them both. But I'm 379 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: just saying, big picture, if next year you could only 380 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: keep AJ Brown or Saquon Barkley, I think it's a 381 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: hard discussion. I think it would. It varies player to player. 382 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: The reality is you don't really have to make that 383 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: decision because the cost of running backs is so low, 384 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: Like it's linebackers, tight ends and running backs are all 385 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: under on average, fifteen million dollars a year, so you're 386 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: basically paying. And you could argue, like, if you're Saquon, 387 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm not a twenty five million dollar player this year, 388 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: you do get kind of screwed. If Demo stays with 389 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: the Niners next season, why not fully transition him to 390 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: running back? Ego seems like he could be mcaffe like, well, 391 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: I think they've kind of transitioned him a little this year. 392 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: They've put him at kickoff returner, which is not nothing 393 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: like it. Maybe he liked he did it in college 394 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: and he's good at it, but like how many players 395 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, they wouldn't put Jamar Chase back there, even 396 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: though Jamar Chase is probably freaking awesome at it, they 397 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't put you know, think of some wide receivers you 398 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: could put back there that would be good. Now, Debos 399 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: a unique, but I think they're already transitioning him a 400 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: little bit. You draft Ricky piersall Au comes back, I 401 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: think his role will just go back to more of 402 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: that hybrid mold because he's not a true just wide receiver. 403 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: That's not where he's at his best. He's at his 404 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: best getting touches behind the line of scrimmage, whether that's 405 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: passes or rushes, and obviously kickoff returnery's really good at. 406 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: So this is the Alabama you said deserve to be 407 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: in the playoffs because they have more talent. Alabama was 408 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: a twenty two and a half point favorite over Vanderbilt, 409 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: a fourteen point favorite over Oklahoma, and a six teen 410 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite over Michigan. Yeah, bro, they lost. 411 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you every time Caitlin Dubora loses. 412 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: OSU fans gotta let you know. As a dedicated to 413 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: Seahawks fan, I'm eager to see how our team rise 414 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: to the next level. The quarterback position is crucial and 415 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: curious about your thoughts on the best pass forward? Do 416 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: you believe Geno Smith is a long term answer for us? 417 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: He had notable success, including leading the league and completion 418 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: percentage in twenty two and earning Pro Bowl selections in 419 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty three. Alternatively, should we consider drafting 420 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: a new quarterback to develop in the future. Some analysts 421 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: suggest the Seahawks might be sleepers to draft a quarterback 422 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: even would Gino set a return in twenty four or 423 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: is exploring a trade for someone like Kyler Murray a 424 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: viable option? If Arizona would be willing to trade you 425 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray inside the division, I think that's a pretty 426 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: big red flag. I would not say that's an option, 427 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: but maybe Ryan Grubb would like to work with them. 428 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: I would keep Geno before I traded for Kyler Murray. 429 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: I think the best option would be, you know, I 430 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: would sign Sam Donald. I would take Sam Donald over Gino, Younger, 431 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: similar skill set, I think, just better player or has 432 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: a chance. I mean, Geno's this year has been a 433 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: little all over the place, but he's a solid player. 434 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: I do think Gino, the type guy he is, is 435 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: a pretty good bridge quarterback if you drafted a young guy. 436 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: It's why I thought Michael Pennix made a lot of 437 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: sense for you guys. Obviously, you know he got drafted 438 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: way higher than when you guys picked, But don't I 439 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: don't really know who there is a draft. I just 440 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: don't think that guy's really there. So I just think 441 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: Gino is not your long term future, but he's just 442 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: kind of your guy for now. He's just your best 443 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: case scenario of just having a guy to fill that void. 444 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: And it sucks kind of being in quarterback purgatory, but 445 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: that's kind of where you are. You're in quarterback purgatory. Luckily, 446 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: your team's still solid and you're competing to win, you know, 447 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: nine ten games. It could be worse, It really could 448 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: you could be one of those shitty three to four 449 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: win teams, but you're winning nine ten games and you're 450 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: just in position, and you know your general manager is 451 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: aggressive and if there's a chance to pounce, he will. 452 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: The volume
