Okay, So oh, 16 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: this is a weird one on a Thursday night, right 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: cause if you were to say, hey, it's Thursday night 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: football standalone game, You're like, well, you know, I mean, 19 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: baseball's getting sort of exciting, exciting, but not playoffs yet 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: so still football time, right, because there are there's a 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: portion of us. I think most of us prefer obviously 22 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: playoff baseball to regular season football, not on Sundays. But 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: baseball does a good job of the most part of 24 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: avoiding that. But there's no real excuse for watching anything else. 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if I was watching Mets Cubs 26 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: last night, you know, maybe that's part of it. There's 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: some other games you can watch, but standalone football is 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: generally pretty awesome. Thursday night FOOTBA obviously on Amazon tonight 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: it's the Cardinals who are off to a hot start, 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: although if you watch them play, you're like, okay against 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, so you have a divisional matchup, and of 32 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: course the Seahawks are buyers team, not he doesn't own 33 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: the TA, you you know, that's where his fandom goes. 34 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: And I do think this is one in which we 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: are going to peer into and watch and we will 36 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: make a huge mistake, but we're gonna do it anyway, 37 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: which is, we're gonna make a determination into if Sam 38 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: Darnold can play, or if Kyler Murray can play, or 39 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: what everything looks like with the Cardinals or with the 40 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: Seahawks based upon this one game, and it's a Thursday 41 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: night game, and as we all know, generally, especially as 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: the season goes on, the quality of play Thursday night 43 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: is not usually great because the bodies aren't really recovered 44 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: from the week before, and you know, it doesn't feel 45 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: like you have as much time to invest in game 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: planning and scouting and all that other stuff for whatever reason. 47 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm giving you reasons that quality play not 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: really great on Thursdays. But we're gonna I'm not saying 49 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: byer and I'm not saying and I don't are there 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: actually Arizona Cardinal fans that don't live in Arizona. I 51 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: don't think the answer is yes. So these are two 52 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: teams that the Seahawks, who had the Twelfth Man had 53 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: a huge following. Doesn't feel like that's a thing anymore, 54 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: as much of a thing as it used to be. 55 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: But it was definitely a thing, and that's only because 56 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: they were winning for you know, a good six seven 57 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: years there, two Super Bowls, one super Bowl win. But 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: unless you sustain it, and sustained it at a high level, 59 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: it's hard to have those kind of national fan bases 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: the way that Steelers have the way the Cowboys haven't. 61 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: I know, the Cowboys haven't won anything recently but the 62 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: three Super Bowls and then the success in the seventies. 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: But you look at tonight and it's like Arizona doesn't 64 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: really have fan base. Seattle does, but they're kind of 65 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: lukewarm on the whole idea of this rebuilding what they're doing. 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: You have a former number one pick, former number three 67 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: pick in the draft one has been on the same team, 68 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: and a Kyler Murray, but you know, most people think 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: he played too many video games for much of his 70 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: career and he's just okay. Darnald was seeing ghosts when 71 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: he was in with the Jets, lost his job in Carolina, 72 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: back up in San Francisco, lit it up in Minnesota, 73 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: but the offensive coordinator in the skill position guys getting 74 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: more of the credit wasn't good at the end of 75 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: the year. And now all of a sudden he's in Seattle. 76 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: He comes off a game which they won, but part 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: of it was that the competition was inept. Again, I 78 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: just think that the takeaway from tonight's game is going 79 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: to be one point five to two x of what 80 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: it should be because these are two of the teams 81 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: in the NFL that exist in every statistical column but 82 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: don't really exist in our minds. I mean outside again, 83 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: Buyer is a Seahawks fan, so he watches every snap. 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who claims who claims to be 85 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinal fan. Do you guys know anybody who's, like, 86 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: you know what, he's an Arizona Cardinal fan. I'm not 87 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: saying they don't exist, but I'm saying they don't really exist. 88 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: It's like when we say, like, well, everybody's a I 89 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: know Cowboy fans, I know Raider fans, I know Ram fans, 90 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: I know Niner fans, I know Dolphin fans, Steeler fans, 91 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: Giant fans. There's a lot of TV guys or Jets fans. 92 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: I don't know a single Areazon a Cardinal fan. 93 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: All those weird doug all those teams you mentioned have 94 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl, So maybe that's the issue. 95 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: It's possible. I mean, the Raiders haven't won a Super 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: Bowl a long long time, long, long, long long time. 97 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: No Chiefs fans, A couple of Texans fans, although they're 98 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: a newer franchise. Jase du can you think of anybody 99 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: in your orbit. And Jason, you've lived, grown up, been 100 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: around southern California, it's the neighboring state. Do you know 101 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: anyone who's an Arizona Cardinal fan? 102 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: Not one? 103 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: Nope, I don't think they actually like again in Arizona. 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: There's some people now. It used to be a transient market. 105 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: It still is. COVID that this phoenix just exploded. It's 106 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: like twice the size. It's mass if so, this is 107 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: not me crapping on the Cardinals. The Cardinals have been 108 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl. They were within one play, one 109 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: great drive from the Pittsburgh Steers of winning a super Bowl. 110 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: But there I I've not like I would guess that 111 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: in terms of deer sold in the last twenty years, 112 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: the Cardinals would probably be last. What do you guys think? Like, 113 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm I I'm not even googling it. It's just something 114 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: that crossed my mind. I will bet if I said 115 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Sam Google, which I'm saying Sam Google, that you know 116 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: teams and Jersey sales or whatever. Have you ever run 117 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: into somebody who's like, who's your team? The Arizona Cardinals? 118 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: Like what, I personally don't know a single Cardinals fan. 119 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to be mean. 120 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: I just don't know. 121 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not either. I'm just like and and 122 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: and again for for people who are listing in whatever. 123 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: We're in all these markets all over the country. I 124 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: know I was reading one for folks. We're in North Dakota, right, 125 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: We're from North Dakota to Wichita, several place in the 126 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: East coast, and obviously in Oklahoma. We're here in Appleton 127 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. W're all these different markets. Have you ever 128 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: been walking down the street or you ever been in 129 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: a sports bar? You ever be in a sports bar 130 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: and somebody's like, hey, hey, hey, can you tell the 131 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: bartender to put on the Cardinals game? That's my team? 132 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: But they walk in with a Kyler Murray jersey. I 133 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: don't think it's amazing. And what we're saying is this 134 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: is the most popular sport in the country, but there 135 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: are certain teams that get just zero love, have zero 136 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: attention because they don't have much of a fan base. 137 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: And I think the Cardinals are probably right there in 138 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: line with I mean, the Panthers had a had a following, 139 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: not they went to a Super Bowl, but they also 140 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: had Cam Newton who was exceedingly popular. They've had others, right, 141 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: you have one of my favorite linebackers of all time. 142 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: They have some you know, Steve Smith became a TV personality. 143 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: Obviously he's got some personal stuff that he's gone through. 144 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: But you know, Tampa, it wasn't a lot, but Tom 145 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: Brady won a Super Bowl. And there's a couple New 146 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: Orleans people from New Orleans obviously usually more college fall fans, 147 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: but they love them Saints. I don't know anybody whos 148 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: a Cardinals fan. Yes, go ahead, So. 149 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: I found her this Ranker article that has found some 150 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: celebrity fans of the Arizona Cardinals I could share with you. 151 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 4: Go ahead. 152 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: So we got a Frankie Muniz who grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. 153 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: That he was from Malcolm the Middle.

I think he went 156 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: to Arizona State. He is also a Cardinals fan. It 157 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: says Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are Cardinals fans because 158 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: Blake Shelton was a fan of the Cardinals and then 159 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: so she's married to him.

Like, 168 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: if we want to list you online as a fan 169 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: of said team, then you have to You don't have 170 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: to watch every snap, but you got to check in 171 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: on their scores every week, fair, Like what's the what's 172 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: the cutoff? 173 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: You have to know? 174 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 2: You have to know, Like if you're a fan of 175 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: a team, you got to know like what's going on 176 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: with like, yeah, who they lose to, who they win 177 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 2: or who they beat of. You know, you got to 178 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: be up to speed on things you call yourself fan. 179 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: So my takeaway for tonight's game, Thursday Night Football, which 180 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: is on Amazon, a battle essentially for first place. NFC 181 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: West is one especially team that time that the world 182 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: doesn't pay attention to, but two quarterbacks who are interesting. 183 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: Ones had more consecutive successful seasons on some level than 184 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: the other, but neither are believed to have been anywhere 185 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: near the potential that people thought they had when they 186 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: started their career. But we're going to make I believe, 187 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: we're going to make a statement of who they are 188 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: what they are more based upon tonight because nobody pays 189 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: attention on a weekly basis. Dan, When I say nobody, 190 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't include you, right, but you tell me it's fair. 191 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: Doesn't feel like there's the same twelfth band that there 192 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: used to be, and people pay a lot less attention 193 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks than they used to. 194 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, they were very popular during the Pete Carrol 195 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 5: Russell Wilson era. However, at the end of the Peak 196 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 5: Carroll era, I think there was a lot of malaise 197 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 5: that came over the Seahawks fan base and even comments 198 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 5: that I saw on social media just stemming from this 199 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 5: past weekends win over the Saints that luman Field felt 200 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 5: like it did back in the heyday, or started to 201 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 5: feel that way because there was criticism with the Seahawks 202 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 5: fans in Week one with how many forty nine ers 203 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 5: fans were actually in the stadium. So those things happened. 204 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 5: The list of teams that you guys said of the Packers, Steelers, 205 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 5: and Raiders, they do have supreme fan bases and there's 206 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 5: something cool about being a Raiders fan. I'd be curious 207 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 5: to see on how many new Raiders fans that there are. 208 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 5: But there's no doubt that the Seahawks at one point 209 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 5: were a hot ticket and aren't anymore. And the comparison 210 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: that I bring up is not what they did under 211 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 5: their two Super bowls with Pete Carroll, was when they 212 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 5: went to the Super Bowl against the Steelers with Mike 213 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 5: Comngrid and Matt Hasselbeck. They weren't nearly as popular as 214 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 5: they were under Pete Carroll and they were winning. Then 215 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 5: they went to a Super Bowl. Should have won that 216 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 5: Super Bowl that we all talked about. So there is 217 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 5: this new portion of fans, or specifically with the Seahawks, 218 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 5: where teams become cool, and the Seahawks probably weren't cool 219 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 5: the last couple of years, and I think it's still 220 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 5: gonna take a while for them to be cool again. 221 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 5: But at least locally in the Pacific Northwest, there seems 222 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 5: to be a renewed energy behind the Seahawks because of 223 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 5: what this team could possibly be. 224 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: I will get more on that to come. This is 225 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: this isn't just a game, It's a once in a 226 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: generation event. The Harlem Globechrotters one hundred Year Tour. Come 227 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: be a part of the legacy that never stops.

So it's an interesting way 230 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: of looking at that. They're trying to win back kind 231 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: of their own fan base and there is an energy 232 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: about it in the in the pack Northwest. Just the 233 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are just they're an interesting one, right because 234 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: they don't it was it was always always been a 235 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: home game for everybody. They were when everyone's accused the 236 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: Chargers of and rightfully so, right of being the home 237 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: game for the visiting team. It was usually the Cowboy 238 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: They used to be in the same division as the Cowboys. 239 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: When the Cowboys would come to town, that was their 240 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: big game of the year, right, that was their big 241 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: game of the year. And I think, frankly, that's one 242 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: of the reasons they signed Emmitt Smith back in the 243 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: day right, just because that actually helped their fan base 244 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: more than anything, because everybody was a transplant. They're just 245 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: in this weird area of they're an NFL team but 246 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: not really covered like one. 247 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 5: I also think that it's a bigger problem in the 248 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,599 Speaker 5: NFL than the league would want to. 249 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 4: Say it is. 250 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 5: Jason and I were at the game last week in Buffalo, 251 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 5: and there was not the problem. There wasn't this huge 252 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 5: contingent of Dolphin fans. Now, did we see Dolphin jerseys. Yes, 253 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 5: But there's also the thought process in some of these places, 254 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 5: specifically like Phoenix, where the viewing option is so good 255 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 5: at home and maybe the cost of going to games 256 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 5: isn't worth it, But if your team is in town 257 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 5: for that one point that season, or for that one 258 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 5: point within a four year span, you're going to the games. 259 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 5: And I don't know how you fight that if you're 260 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 5: the National Football League. The other thing with tonight, with 261 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 5: I think it's way more about Kyler Murray than it 262 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 5: is about Sam Darnold. And I think that that's a 263 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 5: conversation that we probably have been a year. 264 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: Or two removed from. 265 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: Why do you think so well? 266 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 4: I think that last. 267 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 5: Week is a perfect example of what happened with Marvin 268 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 5: Harrison Junior against the forty nine ers and the awful 269 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 5: drop that he had football. 270 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: What's em When did Marvin Harrison forget to catch football? 271 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 4: Yeah? 272 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: I don't know, and I think everybody's wondering the same thing. 273 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: And there was another play in the end zone on 274 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 5: a contested catch that he didn't come down with that 275 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 5: you were surprised. So there's something going on. But also, 276 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 5: the Seahawks front four is one of the best in 277 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 5: the NFL, and maybe at the end of the year 278 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 5: we're going to say that they're the best in the NFL. 279 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 5: We're not there yet, but Seattle's been able to get 280 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 5: pressure on quarterbacks with just their front four. So how 281 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 5: do you handle this with Kyler Murray? And one of 282 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 5: the things about the Marvin Harrison drop that he had 283 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 5: in the game against the forty nine ers was the 284 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 5: football was unbelievably underthrown. It was not a great pass. 285 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 5: But we aren't talking about that. And it's not to 286 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 5: move the blame off of Marvin Harrison Junior. But to 287 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 5: your point, Doug, in a standalone game, when last week's 288 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 5: Niners Cardinals game was completely covered up by Bears and 289 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 5: Cowboys for most of the country. This is our opportunity 290 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 5: tonight to see what Kyler Murray can do. And I 291 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 5: think that's where the that's where tonight's verdict comes out, that 292 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 5: tomorrow we're gonna be talking about Kyler Murray a good 293 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 5: or bad when. 294 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 4: It comes to the Arizona Cardinals. 295 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Okay. And my counterpoint would be, I think the same 296 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: thing of Sam Donald because outside of you, I don't 297 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: know anybody who's watched Sam Donald outside you red zone. 298 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: Couple here, couple there, and the assumption the last time 299 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: we saw Sam Donald was the playoffs and he struggled, right, 300 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: and it was the assumption was that the only reason 301 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: he was good in the Twin Cities was because of 302 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: the surrounding cast and the coach, not because of Sam Donald. Right. 303 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: So now again we it's our first chance on a national, 304 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: national level to see Sam Donald, you know, play on TV. 305 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: We will make the fair or unfair assessment of who 306 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: he is based upon how he played. 307 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 5: He's been fine this year, but this is also a 308 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: home game, so I think there's more on your quarterback, 309 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 5: Like if you don't win this game, if if the 310 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 5: Seahawks go on the road and lose. 311 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 4: They lost. I mean, this is a jammed up division. 312 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 5: Everybody's two and one except the Niners who are three 313 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 5: and oh so yeah. I think there's more of the 314 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 5: jury out on Kyler Murray tonight than Donald. It's not 315 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 5: to absolve Donald of any responsibility, but I just think 316 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 5: that Murray's more of the conversation. 317 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 6: This is the best of the Doug dot Leap Show 318 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 6: on Fox Sports Radio. 319 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: Hey, what up with you?

Get you some 332 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: picks for the upcoming college football weekend. I wear a 333 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: lot of hats in my life. Right. I'm a head 334 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: coach of the Phoenix, I'm a radio host, I'm a dad. 335 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: These are all things that take up parts of my day, 336 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: of my time. I don't know if you guys knew, 337 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: but I'm also I'm also a judge. Right, I'm also 338 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: a judge. And part of being a judge is you 339 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: got to hear both sides and then you gotta rule. 340 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: So what we thought we would do, Okay, what we 341 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: thought we would do? In reference to cal Raley hitting 342 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: his novel one, not two, not three, but his sixtieth 343 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: home run last night, I would be the judge as 344 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: to who should be the AL MVP. Now here's the 345 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: first thing, okay, And before we get into these arguments, 346 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: we have to stop with the ah. He's number two 347 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: now on the most home runs in AL history. Does 348 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: anyone reference an sat or an at act score from 349 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: somebody who cheated on the exam, any sort of cheating 350 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: on the exam? No, And since it's already been we've 351 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 1: already been told. And look, even if you want to 352 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 1: buy the ridiculous story that I had no idea, I 353 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: didn't knowingly use steroids. The fact is that Barry Bonds, 354 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: Semi Sosa, Mark McGuire admitted to knowingly using it. You 355 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: used steroids. In other words, there was some form of cheating, right, 356 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: some form of cheating in order for them to attain 357 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: those ridiculous numbers. Let's just stop b yessing about it. 358 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: Everybody knows it was tainted, So pretend like it just 359 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: didn't happen, just like we all do that with you know, 360 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: somebody has cheats on a test, it gets thrown out, 361 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: or they get an f they get kicked out, they 362 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: get exposed, or maybe you have to retake it, whatever, 363 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: But we don't pretend like the test score is a 364 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: valid one if it was achieved through nefarious ways, through 365 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: nefarious ways. So I'll play the judge. All right, Ah, 366 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: this is a National Court of Public Radio. Your judge 367 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb presiding. The question is on the doc of today, 368 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: Who is the rightful al MVP? Okay? Is it Aaron Judge? 369 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: No relation? Or is it Cal Rawley. It is funny 370 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: quick aside when I hear somebody's name cal Chase Stu. 371 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: We grew up in southern California. Doesn't it make you 372 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: think of cal Worthington and Worthington Ford right where he 373 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: would have like the tiger on the commercial. God, that 374 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: was just such old school nineties stuff. It was so 375 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: awesome back in the day. Go see cow, Go see cow. Anyway, 376 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: let's get after it now. Is it just gonna be 377 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: Cavino and passing or are you guys gonna take gonna 378 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: take a side as well. 379 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: I'll take it from here. 380 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 4: I'll take it from here. 381 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 3: Thank you, judge, I'll take it from here. 382 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: You need to properly address me as such. 383 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 3: So Doug told me prior to the show they wanted 384 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: to do this, this one idea. I had not executed it, 385 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: so I'm going based on how he told me about it, 386 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 3: but I thought it would be best. He's like, I 387 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 3: want you to persent both sides. You make compelling arguments 388 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: for both sides, and I'll be the judge to choose 389 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 3: which one I I most agree with or which who's 390 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 3: going to be the m v P. But I thought 391 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 3: I really only have a compelling argument about one thing, 392 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 3: because unlike you, who loves to straddle defense, I actually 393 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 3: pick aside and I go like vigorously at that side. 394 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 3: That's that's my that's my that's my break pause. So 395 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to allow Fox Sport Radio superstar Steve Covino, 396 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 3: who hosts the show right after us with Rich Davis 397 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 3: Coveno and Rich. I'm gonna have Steve Covino, who is 398 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 3: a Yankee Diehard make his case, and then I want 399 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: to also add Jeff Passen, MLB insider's case for Aaron Judge. 400 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: I want you to listen each of these and. 401 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: Then their character, their character witness is so what you're 402 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: saying correct. 403 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 3: So this is Steve Covino of Covino and Rich. 404 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 7: The dude is incredible, and he leads in every single 405 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 7: category that is a major category. And I'll tell you 406 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 7: except for home runs a RBI, he leads an average 407 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 7: on base percentage, slugging, ops, run scored, war walks, total bases, 408 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 7: extra hits. Raleigh leads in home run and RBI barely, 409 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 7: and he's. 410 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: Played more. 411 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 7: Almost twenty more. Would have something close if he didn't 412 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 7: miss a game, Judge was hurt. What he's doing is remarkable, 413 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 7: and just because he's been there, done that, you're like, yeah, whatever, dude, whatever. 414 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 7: The Yankees would not be there without Judge and the Mariners. Yeah, 415 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 7: he's doing great for a catcher, but you don'tjudge MVP 416 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 7: based on great for a catcher. Judge leads in every 417 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 7: major category except for two and Raleigh bare Me. 418 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: I see, so this is. 419 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 3: This is Jeff Passon's reason why he would likely vote 420 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 3: for Aaron Judge. 421 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 8: I would go Aaron Judge, and I would feel terrible 422 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 8: about it. And yet one and seventy five points in 423 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 8: OPS is an enormous gap. I was ever someone who 424 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 8: when I voted, got like fatigue on a guy. It's 425 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 8: more I marvel at him even more that he's been 426 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 8: able to do it year over year. And Aaron Judge, 427 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 8: at his size, with all of the pieces and parts 428 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 8: that he asked to move, turning into the best hitter, 429 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 8: the best home round hitter, the best hitter in Major 430 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 8: League Baseball was not something I had on my Bingo card. 431 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 3: I'm going to use Bingo. 432 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: He used the Bingo card, He used the Bengo car. 433 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: Isn't that an automatic eliminator? I don't you have to? 434 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: You have to what's it called when you're the lawyer 435 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: and you you dispute something on the judge. Yes, go ahead, object. 436 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 3: Do you have that last part of raised from the record. 437 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: We can have it stricken from the record. 438 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: Ultimate ultimate sign of ad is using the phrase I 439 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 3: didn't have that on my bingo card. But knowing Jeff, I. 440 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: Was today years old. Also I was today years old. 441 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 3: That no, no, no bingo cards worse. I will say 442 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 3: this knowing Jeff a little bit, knowing passing a little bit. 443 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 3: He's he's the guy who uses bingo card. That's all 444 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say so, Jeff. Jeff addressed the two major 445 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: things going in Aaron judges favor the discrepancy in the OPS. 446 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: That's a big, big stat with the nerds. And he 447 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 3: fights against voter fatigue. He doesn't want, you know, he 448 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 3: doesn't want the Charles Barkley or the Karl Malone. He 449 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: wants you to vote from Michael Jordan every year because 450 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 3: he's the greatest UH player in the league and the 451 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: most valuable. I will make a case for cal Rawley 452 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 3: right now, Judge, if you may. 453 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: Yes, uh, well, here a statements opening statement from the 454 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: lawyer representing the site for cal Raley, Chaston Stewart. 455 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 3: Go ahead, please, we have never seen a season like 456 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 3: this from a player that plays catcher predominantly. I think 457 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 3: he's spent like twenty games as a DH, but he 458 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 3: has hit like over fifty fifty plus home runs as 459 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: a catcher, which is just remarkable when you think about 460 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 3: the taxing, the taxing of what it's like to be 461 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 3: a catcher. Why we always see catcher's numbers decline in 462 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 3: the second half of the season, Why we always see 463 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: catcher's careers and late they're doing upwards of one hundred 464 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: and fifty squats per game. They need to also the 465 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 3: mental fatigue of knowing the strengths and weaknesses of every 466 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 3: hitter on the other team and the strengths and weaknesses 467 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 3: of the pitchers on the other team. When you hit, 468 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: there is a mental fatigue combined with a physical fatigue, 469 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 3: which is why you never get these numbers from a catcher. 470 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 3: Sixty home runs is the third most home runs ever 471 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 3: hit by anybody in the history of baseball. And again 472 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 3: to judges, to Doug's first point, i completely dismiss McGuire, Sosa, 473 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: and Bonds. I'm not putting them in this category. Cal 474 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 3: Rawley deserves the award because of the position he plays, 475 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 3: and it very much needs to be considered in this argument. 476 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: It's a very compelling case, very very compelling case. I 477 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: was I'm intrigued by the fact that the lawyer representing 478 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: the cal Raley side did not list park rankings as 479 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: part of it. 480 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: Right. 481 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: In terms of hitters ballparks, the Mariners Park is t 482 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: mobile Park is the considered, if not the worst, one 483 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: of the worst in Major League Baseball. I'm actually looking 484 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: at baseballsavant MLB dot com. It's listed as the twenty 485 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: seventh best park in baseball. Twenty seventh. That is that is, 486 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: excuse me, twenty eighth. I don't know why there's not 487 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: every team listed, but there's twenty eight on this and 488 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: they are park factor. It is the hardest park to 489 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: hit in in Major League Baseball, fewer hits, fewer home runs, 490 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: basically a dead baseball as opposed to the New Yankee Stadium, 491 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: which is a home run hitters park. Uh it's actually uh, 492 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: the has the third most homer's hit in it, the 493 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: Reds Great American Ballpark and Dodger Stadium. At part of 494 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: the Dodgers Stadium is that they have, you know, the 495 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: best player in baseball. But Mariners Park is a dead 496 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: ball park. That hasn't been presented as part of the info. 497 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: I just I find it find it to be interesting. 498 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 3: I want to I wanted to make sure that my 499 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 3: point that he is a catcher needs to be the focus. 500 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 3: That's the most powerful point of this. So yeah, I 501 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 3: could have I could have kind of deluded it with 502 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 3: numbers that you just pointed out, judge, but I wanted 503 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 3: to make a powerful case to the jury that you 504 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 3: should only focus on one thing. He puts a catcher's 505 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 3: mask on, and he has the physical and the mental 506 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 3: fatigue of playing catcher for one hundred and sixty games. 507 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: Okay, just I'm checking through my notes here as a judge, 508 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: I do believe you said he was DH for twenty games, 509 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: so the numbers a little bit lower, correct, I just 510 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: wanted then one hundred sixty games They doesn't play, He 511 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: doesn't play catch one hundred and sixty games. I want 512 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: just but did you know that cal Ray is also 513 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: considered one of the best defensive catchers in baseball? Did 514 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: you guys know that. 515 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: By what? Metruck I don't know. 516 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: This is just baseball dot Com I was looking at earlier. 517 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: I think that's actually considering his offense too. 518 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: I haven't. I've never heard that about his defense. 519 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: I heard that either, but I hear that either when 520 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: I when I I googled before the show, that's what 521 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: I came up. 522 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 3: I've never seen on TV or in my uh, in 523 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: my suspense novels, I've never seen the judge argue with 524 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 3: the prosecutor over points that they didn't make. 525 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 6: I just this is this is uh. 526 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: You approached the bench and I discussed it, Bayer. 527 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 7: Uh. 528 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: You are the bailiff or do you want to do 529 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: you want to present any side of this argument? 530 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 5: I think on the bailiff is a is a good role. 531 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 5: I have an opinion, but you guys had good arguments. 532 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 5: I'll just sit there and listen. 533 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: Nobody will nobody, nobody just it's just. 534 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 4: Me and you Buyer.

Okay, I've decided to 548 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: make a ruling in the case of Aaron Judge versus 549 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: cal Raleigh for the AL MVP in the Court of 550 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: Sports National Sports Radio Doug Gottlieb opinion.

I award him with the 552 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: American League MVP, and the court offers no with with 553 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: no prejudice. This is my final ruling. There will be 554 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: no appeal, and I want to hear nothing from Cavino 555 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: and Rich until it's their turn to have a Nasha 556 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: Radio shows. Yeah, I get I'm with you, Jase Stuart. 557 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: It's one of those I you know, there'll be people 558 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: who say, well, like, okay, so then should you take 559 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: into account that Lebron James is forty years old for 560 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: the MVP. No, this is a positional thing and we 561 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: have not seen and you talked about it at mid season, right, 562 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: we'll get to the All Star break. You're like, what 563 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: do you guys think is gonna happen the second half 564 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: the season. We all thought there would be a decline, 565 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: didn't know how much, and there hasn't. And then you 566 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: factor in he's in Seattle, and then you factor in 567 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: there they're in a pennant chase or a playoff, wild 568 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: card chase, whatever. So it's not like he's playing meaningful 569 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: games where guys are just serving up taters. So he 570 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: can hit sixty and I think it's phenomenal. And yes, 571 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge does have overall a better hitting resume, but 572 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: he stands out there in the outfield, and every thought 573 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: through his mind is, h this is boring out here 574 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: in the outfield, And what do I do the next 575 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: time I'm at batner? 576 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 9: You're out of. 577 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 6: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 578 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 6: the nation.

So I think 581 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: I know why people don't like Russell Wilson. And when 582 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: I say people, I mean a lot of people, especially 583 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: in sports. And I think there was a time in 584 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: which most fans, okay most people who aren't in the 585 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: know gravitated towards Russell because he was drafted what in 586 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: the third round. The perception, whether it's real or not, 587 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: is that he was run out of n C State 588 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: and he went to Wisconsin won a Rose Bowl. 589 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 6: He was a a. 590 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: They didn't win the. 591 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 3: Rose Ball, No, they lost the Oregon I believe it 592 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 3: was the Rose bull with that team. 593 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 4: I know it was. 594 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 2: They had an incredible running game and Russe was incredible, 595 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: but they lost to I think a Chip Kelly Oregon 596 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 2: team right in a really good game. 597 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, my bad, go ahead, Dan. 598 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 4: They lost three straight Rose Bulls. 599 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: I had that, but that was the one Rose Bull 600 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: like that was that backfield was. 601 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 2: Ridiculous Monte ball and didn't they have James White at 602 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: the same time. And then I remember they put like 603 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: eighty three points up on Indiana Uh and just kept 604 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 2: just plow plowed, plowed fields for days. 605 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: Couldn't beat Organ. My bad anyway, if you look on 606 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: paper and you and you took snapshots of who he 607 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: was and things he said at times like Russell Wilson 608 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: should be among the most popular NFL players ever, right 609 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: too small. Uh went to Wisconsin after leaving NC State 610 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: because he wanted to play baseball right, and then he 611 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: goes to Wisconsin. They go to a Rose Bowl. Okay, 612 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: they didn't win the Rose Bowl, but comes into the NFL, 613 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: you know, and beats out Matt Flynn, takes the job 614 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: two super bowls, wins the Super Bowl, even with the 615 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: interception in the loss to the Patriots. People don't put 616 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: the blame on Russell Wilson to this day. It's all 617 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: about offensive coordinator, Repeat Carroll, and the narrative was, now, look, 618 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: some of the players of the Seahawks will be like, well, 619 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: you did that to help Russell Wilson, but no one is. 620 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: I've yet to hear anyone else that matters to me, right, 621 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: And opinions go, you know, blew that Super Bowl, Russell 622 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: Wilson because that throw is low where you know, Malcolm 623 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: Butler can't pick it off. But regardless of it, okay, 624 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: he is not. And I think a lot of it 625 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: is how it's ended these last four the end of 626 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: the end of the Seahawks run. The two years in 627 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 1: Denver didn't work, the year in Pittsburgh didn't work, and 628 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: now it's not working with the New York Giants. I think, again, 629 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, it's that he is yet to 630 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: show us that, like you're a human being, a human being, 631 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,959 Speaker 1: because when you're programmed, you go Broncos Country, Let's ride 632 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: or I'm unlimited. It just found it sounds feels cheesy, 633 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: feels inorganic. And again, like we don't always see through 634 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: artificial things. Matter of fact, some things which appear to 635 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: be too good to be true and really are, people 636 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: will have conspiracy theories about why they actually exist. But 637 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to Russell Wilson. Remember he 638 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: essentially got demoted and he'll probably never be a team's 639 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 1: number one again. He may start because maybe Jackson darts, thinks, 640 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: or gets hurt or whatever. He may go somewhere else 641 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: next to year and is a placeholder until a draft 642 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: picked plays. But the likelhood of him being QB one 643 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: for entire season is over. So when asked about it, 644 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: there's a way I would react. You would react if 645 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,959 Speaker 1: we're being honest. Here's Russell Wilson's reaction. 646 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 10: Now, I'm focused on helping this team win. You know 647 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 10: I'm focused on helping Jackson. I'm focused on me getting 648 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 10: ready to be the best version of me today on Wednesday, 649 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 10: and so you know I want to be here. You know, 650 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 10: I love this organization, I love the process of it all. 651 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 10: Just love the guys in the locker room. I'm not 652 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 10: giving up on this, on us in this season. 653 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: It's great that you're not giving up. Okay, it's great 654 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: that you want to support Jackson, but I love everybody. 655 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: When you've played three games, two games ago, you had 656 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: an unbelievable football game. What he threw four hundred and 657 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: fifty yards right? Whatever he did at the end. Again, 658 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: like he had an unbelievable game. They pull him a 659 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: week later. A real human being says, I'm devastated. I just, 660 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: I just I don't know what happened. I understand, but 661 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm personally devastated. Like I'm mentally and emotionally all in, 662 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: still all in, but this one hurts. He just can't 663 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,959 Speaker 1: do it. He just can't do it. He's so busy 664 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 1: being at Tony Robbins, you know, mental health help book. 665 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: He just can't let us in and be vulnerable. That's 666 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: the Dog Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. You 667 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: want to talk college football, then you got to go 668 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: get to Josh Pate, coach the Josh pat College Football Show. 669 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: You see him on ESPN and on three Sports and 670 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,439 Speaker 1: Yahoo's Sports, and he lives in your head, Rent Free, 671 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: Let's just be honest with it. Big SEC weekend. Well 672 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: we'll get to in a second. But James Franklin, you know, 673 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: going back to his time in the SEC, granted it 674 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: was a Vanderbilt, but started to build up the reputation 675 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: of he can beat anybody but ranked teams. Now you're 676 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: at Penn State, very different calculus. Still struggle to beat 677 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: ranked teams. Oregon comes in, they've looked like world beaters. 678 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: They didn't play great, but beat north beat THEWLLA in 679 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: Northwestern essentially got my Gundy fired as well. Penn State 680 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: has Drew Aller, who you know, without doing much is 681 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: is jumping up draft bards. 682 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 9: What do you think, Josh, that's a great way to 683 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 9: describe Drew Aller so far this year, buddy, He hadn't 684 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 9: done anything. They haven't done anything. No one in this 685 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 9: matchup has played anyone. So you know that thing that 686 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 9: happened sometimes It happened in the Illinois Indiana game last 687 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 9: week where you have a point spread underdog, and yet 688 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 9: the entire country is betting the underdog to win. Outright, 689 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 9: that did not fare well for people back in Illinois. 690 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 9: Last week, everyone's on Oregon. Man. I did a poll 691 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 9: on Twitter the other day. I had like fifteen thousand votes, 692 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 9: So that's really scientific. Like seventy five percent of people 693 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 9: took Oregon to win outright, there were three and a 694 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 9: half point dogs. So my thinking on this is, what's 695 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 9: the reason. Let's not just talk about what Penn State 696 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 9: and James Franklin haven't done. That's very obvious. Four against 697 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 9: ranked teams or top ten teams or whatever, like, why 698 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 9: haven't they been able to win? Well, the answer is 699 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 9: they've never been dynamic at receiver. They have not been 700 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 9: able to push the ball down the field. All right. 701 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 9: So then we arrive in spring, they go to the portal, 702 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 9: they get some difference makers there. I go there and 703 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 9: watch them in fall camp when they're going good on good, 704 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 9: they look great. They're winning fifty to fifty balls, they're 705 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 9: pushing the ball down the field. Then we arrived. For 706 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 9: three weeks of the season, they play inferior opponents. They've 707 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 9: done nothing. They're passing games, anemic accuracies off for alur 708 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 9: But we got one of two things in play here, 709 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 9: and I'm going to take Penn State because I think 710 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 9: it's the latter. But it's either that just really is 711 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 9: who they are, or they've bobbled some stuff up and 712 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 9: they're going to give a lot of looks to Oregon 713 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 9: that we haven't really seen so far this year. I 714 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 9: just dug its classic situation of one team wants to 715 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 9: win it. It'd be really great for Orgon to win this. 716 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 9: Everything about Penn State's identity this year is riding on 717 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 9: winning this game. They could go to Columbus and lose, 718 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 9: that's okay. They cannot sit here at home, rev roster 719 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 9: by week to prep for it. Oregon, young team, flying 720 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,479 Speaker 9: cross country, new quarterback and still lose. That cannot happen. 721 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 9: So somehow, some way, I think dust settles Saturday night 722 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 9: and they sort of do the whole bear crawl over 723 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 9: broken glass to a win thing. 724 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: Hmm, that should be fascinating. Okay, let's do Bama Georgia 725 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: same thing. George doesn't lose at home? Everybody think you know, 726 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,919 Speaker 1: people were selling every bit of Bama stock after losing 727 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: to Florida State. What if Florida State's actually good and 728 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: what if Bama's starting to figure it out? Can Bama 729 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: go down to Athens and get a win. 730 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I mean, so let's just go to what 731 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 9: what if all of what you said there is true? 732 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 9: What if Florida State is really good? What if Bama 733 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,919 Speaker 9: has gotten their act together. They just had a little 734 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 9: wobbly tire on the car early in the season, they 735 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 9: pulled over, they tightened the lug nuts, They're good. All 736 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 9: that can be true, and then still lose here. Georgie 737 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 9: is very good. Do you realize they have not lost 738 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 9: their home game since before COVID It was Will muss 739 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 9: Champ in South Carolina in a three and nine season, 740 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 9: no less, by the way, for sept Landa that beat 741 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 9: them at home last So my stance on this is 742 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 9: kind of like when I talk to you about the 743 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 9: Georgia Tennessee game. I could paint you a pass for 744 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 9: Tennessee to win that game, just like I could paint 745 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 9: you a really clear path for not only Bama to 746 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 9: win here, but dominate. There is a world if ty 747 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 9: Simpson has given time to throw, if that O line 748 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 9: stands up against frankly a Georgia front that hasn't produced 749 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 9: a lot of pressure so far this year, they will 750 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 9: rip Georgia secondary George is very vulnerable. This is not 751 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 9: a ventage. Georgia's secondary. Bama has got thorough breads in 752 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 9: that wide receiver room. So if that's the case, it's 753 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 9: a Bama knight and they'll quiet that crowd. I am 754 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 9: going to have to see that to believe it. They 755 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,760 Speaker 9: are penalty ridden on the road. They are a different 756 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 9: team on the road under the bors so far aside 757 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 9: from the LSU game last year. So if I'm going 758 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 9: to be proven wrong, sir, I'm going to be proven 759 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 9: wrong by Georgia doing something at home they hadn't done 760 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 9: since twenty eighteen. I'm going to be proven wrong by 761 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 9: Bama doing something it's uncharacteristic to their road nature. And 762 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 9: if it happens, it happens. I just got to see 763 00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 9: it to believe it. 764 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: I happen to be on TikTok saw your real right, 765 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: and and you talked about Auburn's lack of exposive plays 766 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: and how everything's dinking dunk around the line of scrimmage 767 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: and Jack Narold's more of a runner than a thrower. 768 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: That said, you know a trick play, which is an 769 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: illegal play, and then a couple of other questionable calls 770 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: going against them. They lose a heartbreaker to Oaklhoman. Now 771 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: they get to go to A and M. And A 772 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: and M's on the opposite side, you know, with a 773 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,359 Speaker 1: call that goes their way in order to beat Notre Dame. 774 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: We do have a history there though, of A and 775 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: M losing big home games. Is this one of them? Yeah? 776 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 9: So I got a head heart conflict here. My head 777 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 9: is just telling me, don't overthink the room man like Auburn, 778 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 9: just because they lost the game doesn't mean they automatically 779 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 9: bounced back. This is a very cool sport. And A 780 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 9: and M is arrested. This is a double road stretch 781 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 9: for Auburn. That's why I that Oklahoma game was so critical. Well, 782 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 9: if you lose it, you got to go right back 783 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 9: on the road against the rested team in a very 784 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 9: tough environment. All right, that's what my head says. My 785 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 9: heart says. My heart's where all of the logic is, 786 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 9: and my body it's inverted. My heart says. You know, 787 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 9: your entire life, you've watched teams lose, especially ones who 788 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 9: can run the ball like Auburn. Can they lose and 789 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 9: then they're in wounded animal mode. Total desperation mode, and 790 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 9: you find yourself watching them defying conventional wisdom, and they 791 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 9: just win a tough game the next week. And it's 792 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 9: tough to kill these teams. It's trying to like nail 793 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 9: a jello to the wall sometimes to really get them. 794 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 9: Here's what I wonder, I really wonder if that explosivity 795 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,879 Speaker 9: we saw out of that A and M passing game 796 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 9: is just here to stay because it was against Notre Dame. 797 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 9: Is it just here to stay? If it is, and 798 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 9: you're making Auburn trade points with you to keep up 799 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 9: Jackson Arnold's not going to do that, and they'll end 800 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 9: up turning the ball over and it will be A 801 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 9: and M's day. I think if Auburn wins this game, 802 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 9: that box scores really crooked. It's like seventeen passes fifty 803 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 9: two runs. It's way way warped. That is Auburn's game. 804 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 9: That's their path here. It's the game I'm most conflicted on. 805 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 9: I picked A and M. I'm very very conflicted on it. 806 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 9: There is absolutely nothing in that game that would shock 807 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 9: me either way. 808 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:26,840 Speaker 1: Okay, sc Illinois, Illinois gets stomped last week at Indiana, 809 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't help me explain explain this one to me? 810 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 4: Right? 811 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: They beat Duke Western Illinois Western Michigan that he beat 812 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: sixty three to ten, granted on the road. I don't 813 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,800 Speaker 1: really know why Illinois is still ranked other than we 814 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: just couldn't like I guess you couldn't find twenty five 815 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: teams to rank it was. That bigger question is sc 816 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: fresh off of road win against Purdue. They're a six 817 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,720 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite, so not a touchdown favorite, 818 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: but almost at Illinois. 819 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 9: Who do you like? That one doesn't look like it 820 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 9: makes a whole lot of sense, does it, Especially if 821 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 9: you stayed up late and you watched Southern out a 822 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 9: car of Michigan State up last week, and then most 823 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 9: people had already seen what Indiana did. Man, they splattered Illinois. 824 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 9: I'm going to this game, By the way, I've never 825 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 9: been to an Illinois game. I have got to do 826 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 9: what I did with A and m Auburn. I got 827 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 9: to see it to believe it. It may be the 828 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 9: most square side in the world. I don't know how 829 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 9: you don't lay the points with USC here. I also 830 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 9: think I think I talked to you about this a 831 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago too. If you start to watch 832 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 9: usc Nohen Lincoln had Caleb Williams a couple of years ago. 833 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 9: You're thinking, Man, Caleb Williams, supreme talent, top overall draft pick, 834 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 9: blah blah blah. I am telling you I feel even 835 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 9: stronger about it. Two weeks later. I think he's got 836 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 9: a better quarterback for a system right now, Jadon Mayava, 837 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 9: I don't want to compare talent profiles. 838 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:43,280 Speaker 4: I just want to talk. 839 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,879 Speaker 9: About the job of a quarterback within a system. Jad 840 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 9: and Mayava a stud man, and you look at the 841 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 9: smiles on that coaching staff's faces. That dude's playing within 842 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 9: that system better than Caleb Williams ever played within Lincoln 843 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,840 Speaker 9: Riley system. And you can coach that. I mean, just 844 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 9: talking from a coach's perspective. If you got a guy 845 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 9: who's got adequate to really high level skill, which may 846 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 9: Aava does, and he's doing what you ask him to do, 847 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,240 Speaker 9: but he's also got that improvisation, he's got that X factor, 848 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 9: that intangible stuff you can't coach, ability to make you 849 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 9: look like a genius three or four times a game, 850 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 9: and he's ascending like he's just now really figuring it out. 851 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 9: They're a very dangerous team. They've got stud wide receivers. 852 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 9: They lost Branch that is George's number one receiver right now, 853 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 9: and they've still got two studs out there. So I 854 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 9: know it's it's desperation time for Illinois. I know all that. 855 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,919 Speaker 9: I'm going to the game for that reason, but man, 856 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 9: it's going to take a fight to stay in that 857 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 9: game with USC. You're going to the game, I'm going 858 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 9: up there, and then I'm going down to Athens later 859 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 9: that night. How can you just go to one game 860 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 9: on a Saturday like this? 861 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that sounds like a PJ deal. If you 862 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: need somebody to hopp in in the PJ and fill 863 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: it up, you let me know. LSU ole Miss this 864 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: is This would be a pretty good pregame battle right 865 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: pregame at the Grover pregame at LSU under Lights after 866 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,800 Speaker 1: dud game in Oxford, ReBs a point a half favorite. 867 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, that one cross zero earlier this week. Honestly, I 868 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 9: think ole Miss is going to take this game. I'm 869 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 9: concerned about LSU. They're undefeated, and a lot of times 870 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 9: when teams are undefeated, people are just blatantly ignoring warning signs. 871 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 9: They have warning signs all over the place right now. 872 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 9: But they're a really good defense, so it's masked them. 873 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,760 Speaker 9: But once again, they're not running the ball like they should. 874 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 9: Once again, they're in the what I think upper thirties 875 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 9: to upper twenties, low thirties passing and in the hundreds rushing. 876 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 9: And it's just inexplicable that you could never be able 877 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 9: to run the ball at LSU, but they can't. I 878 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 9: don't like the offensive staff versus defensive staff matchup here 879 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 9: for LSU at all. Now. One of the best matchups 880 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 9: all weekend will be Kissing versus Blake Baker. That's phenomenal, 881 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 9: that's pay per view quality stuff. But I'm telling you 882 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,720 Speaker 9: they have not faced a team. LSU has not faced 883 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 9: a team yet that force them to trade points. Clemson 884 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 9: didn't credit to LSU. Florida didn't. They turn them over 885 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 9: five times. Credit to LSUS. This team right here, you're 886 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 9: not holding under twenty I don't think. And so this 887 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 9: is where nuth Meyer has to make some plays. He's 888 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 9: had an abdominal issue all year. It has not cost 889 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 9: them yet, but I don't know if they're put in 890 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 9: a position where they need thirty or they need thirty 891 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 9: four to win this game if it's there without taking 892 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,839 Speaker 9: the kind of risk that forces turnovers. So I think 893 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 9: Ole miss wins this game, and afterwards we're asking a 894 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 9: lot of questions about LSU we already should have been asking. 895 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: Josh is the best man.
