10

Speaker 1: my bass friend Mike Harmon, live from the Fox Sports

00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: Are Radio Studios, where Uh, in a minute, we're gonna

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: remember an absolute legend. However, don't tell me coaches can't

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: win games in the NBA. Now, Mike Harmon Martin explain

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: mar Key. Game of the night. Look like I always say,

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: in a full night of NBA games, if you get

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: one game that comes down to the end, consider yourself

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: lucky and luckily. Tonight, Thunder and the Knicks biggest game

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: of the night, two title contenders, comes down to the

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: final possession. The Knicks miss a couple of threes in

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: the final couple of seconds, Thunder escape with a three

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: point win. But I'll tell you what for all of this.

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: You look at plays down the stretch in this game.

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: Don't don't sit here and tell me coaches can't win games.

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: The two biggest plays of the fourth quarter of this game,

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: in the final three minutes, the Thunder win two challenges,

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: two big challenges. They challenge on an og Anunobi layup

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: that was going to be a three point play, and

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: it was really it looked like the contact it was

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: really could have gone either way, but they went and

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: they reversed it. So instead of a layup and ogn

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: Nooby trying to shoot for the three point play, it's

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: an offensive foul Nananobi and the Thunder keep the ball.

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: A minute later and out of bounds play on offense

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: for the Knicks, it's ruled to go to the Thunder.

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: No that play challenge. I'm like, okay, that looked like

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: it that went off the Thunder. What are we doing?

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Like? I can't believe they won

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: the first one and the second one not only did

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: it get reversed, but it got reversed because of a

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: foul on Karl Anthony Towns. They went back to look

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: at the out of bounds play and chet Holgern's going

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: out of bounds, out of bounds, out of bunds. I'm like, okay,

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: and then they come back and say balls out of bounds. Yeah,

44
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: foul on Karl Anthony Towns. That was his fifth. A

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: minute later, he fouled out on Sja, which is a

46
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: which is a bad play by him, and he's been

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: he's fouled out the most in the NBA this season,

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: but now they didn't have him for the final two

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: and a half minutes of the game. Those were the

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: two biggest plays. When you sit here and talk about, oh,

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: challenges agaend, knowing when to save them, knowing when to

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: use them, it's a five point swing winning the Anonobe

53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: challenge and then whatever points swing you want to put

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: to instead of the knicks. With the ball out of bounds,

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: it's a foul on Karl Anthony Towns. You're shooting free

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: throws and he was out of the game forty five

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: seconds later. Don't tell me coaches can't win. Yeah, the

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: one with the ogianinobi restricted area or or not moving

59
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: in or not set all that. You know, that's that's

60
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: just call. Unfortunately, there's too much contact and not call

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: something right. I just hope, like Rick carrl. I always

62
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: hope that the NBA is not out to help out

63
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: these smaller market teams who they want to give an

64
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: advantage to, because you know, people watch the small market

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: teams on television more than the big market team. Funny,

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: they're trying to create parody in a league. You know,

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: as we get down the stretch, I mean, you are

68
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: the defending champions. That is true that you are the

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: defending the last champions. So you get a little seesaw

70
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: back and forth and you get that call. Now, the

71
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: the cat call is a tough one, right one, because

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: he came flying over his Oh yeah, yeah, right. It's

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: a bad decision by Cat to do because he made

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: too bad decisions that right. That fall and then the

75
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: fall on SGA wasn't a play on anything. It was

76
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: just a reach and grabs his wrist. Right, It's it's

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: just a let him come into your body or get

78
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: your arm up, like he reached down to try to

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: get at the ball and only got was a handful

80
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: of wrist. Yeah, I mean, well, and that's what SGA does.

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: I'll get to the free throw though, don't worry. I

82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: will find my way. But that's it. We always talk

83
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: about on the show for all these years that you

84
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: can't fault a good strategy. You may not like it

85
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: as a fan, you may throw something at your television.

86
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's sales wide right, like field goal kickers in Buffalo.

87
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: But you're you're hoping too soon. Man, come on, man,

88
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: Scott Norwidz probably driving around Buffalo going to get some wings.

89
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: Anybody here? Why do I get sides? It's a basketball

90
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: conversation about the Knicks and the thunder and I get

91
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: sideswiped on it. Wow, and larger New York area and

92
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: a team than actually another team that plays in New York.

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: But just the idea that you have SGA and this

94
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: is the book on him, right, So you know, even

95
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: at home, even in a hotly contested game, he's getting

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: that foul call every time you watched it over the

97
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: course of the game. How many times did he did

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: he get a foul calls?

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: Like?

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: Really, is that enough contact really to warn a fol now?

101
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: And he does? And so that that's just the rules

102
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: of engagement. Now when ABS comes to the NBA, oh

103
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, and everybody's officiated the same. You get ready, right,

104
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: like strike zone in baseball is going to be the

105
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: same same thing. Here, you are just player number three

106
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty four in the Union. It doesn't matter.

107
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: The Nen's going for their seventy third win of the

108
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: season here in game number seventy four, their only loss

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: when they got snowed in earlier this year. But here

110
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: it is the NBA on NBC playing against the brand

111
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: new Queens Mets who have moved from Brooklyn. So we

112
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: got more NBA on the way again. Get one big

113
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: close game tonight. That's awesome. Hey, we won, But today

114
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: we lost an absolute legend in former college football head coach,

115
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: former Notre Dame legend, former South July legend, former Jets legend,

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: former ESPN college football analyst legend Lou Holtz, passing away

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: at the age of eighty nine. And look you've scene

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: and when when he died today? And Frostburg sent me

119
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: a text going, hey, what do you guys do to

120
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: Lou Holtz? And I was like, you know, he coached

121
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: us for a year. You know he he coached the

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: Jets for a year in seventy six and quit at

123
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: the end of the year. And I think his quote was,

124
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: God didn't put Lou Holtz on the earth to coach

125
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: professionals like I gotta go back to college, like that's

126
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: my thing, like he gets And the Jets were three

127
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: and ten the one year under Lou Holtz and they

128
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: never recover and can't see out the rest of the season.

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done, guys, not gonna go to the

130
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: ends like that. That's the thing, right, like Patrino and

131
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm walking away. I'm just walking away. But remember a

132
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: couple of things, is that you hear a lot about

133
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: him in his legendary time at Notre Dame. There's two

134
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: things that he doesn't get enough credit for. And the

135
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: first one is something probably that you will get you

136
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: is that he brought No tre Dame back. No tre

137
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Dame is what it is today today in twenty twenty

138
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: six because Lou Holtz brought it back. For the decade

139
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: he was there in the late eighties into the mid nineties,

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Nore Dame. Hey, Notre Dame was still a really big school,

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: but it was not the overall wild It is the

142
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: it is the end all be all, the alpha and

143
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: omega of college football. They had bad years, right, You've

144
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: you've heard the name Jerry Faust, and what it was

145
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: like in Notre Dame struggling after Ara Parseigin, like Notre

146
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Dame had lost its way, like they were not part

147
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: of the national conversation at all. Lou Holtz shows up

148
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: and in a decade, in three years, he went won

149
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: a national championship, went to another one, which will break down,

150
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, not winning that one. But this is a

151
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: guy who went ten years turned Notre Dame into the

152
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: biggest rock stars in college football. As status they have

153
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: they have owned since that time. Notre Dame still has

154
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: been Notre Dame. Since that moment, whoever the coach is

155
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: Notre Dame has had that much, has had that aura,

156
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: and lou Holtz brought it back. They were nowhere, they

157
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: were just floundering. This is Notre Dame once proud Notre Dame.

158
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, he brought them back. It was Lou

159
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: Holtz that has Notre Dame where they are today.

160
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

161
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, as a kid in Chicago, that's all you

162
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: heard about. That was the adopted team of everybody that

163
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: had ever stepped foot inside a church or knew someone

164
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: that did. And certainly you had the Bears making their

165
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: run and perennial playoff contenders. Ultimately that eighty five Bears

166
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: squad that they still write all those books about and

167
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: cash in on year to year. But for Notre Dame football,

168
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean you got to go back. Divine had what

169
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: an eleven win season in seventy seven, and then you

170
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: had nine win season in nineteen eighty, you had the

171
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Faust era, and then you go from there into

172
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: Lou Holtz. And obviously the advent and changing of how

173
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: the game was telecast and the power of brand really

174
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: took over on a whole other level. Right, we go

175
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: back to Catholics versus Convicts in those games and all

176
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: of that that resonate all these years. I think we

177
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: did a special teams podcast on that many years ago.

178
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: You can find that wherever you find your podcast histories.

179
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: But all of that to say for Lou Holtz, he

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: was that figure right, the way he spoke, the way

181
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look at all the tributes from his players today.

182
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: Now he's a complicated guy. There's a lot going on

183
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: with Holts, Oh sure, okay, But for the purpose of

184
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: this conversation, there's a lot too. I mean, we could

185
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: do and I know the odd couple did some and

186
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: and and I'm sure we could do four hours on

187
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: every angle of the Lou Holtz experiences of this. It

188
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: is talking about the changing face of college football, the

189
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: billion dollar TV contracts, the recruiting juggernaut that it became,

190
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: all those household names and players and plays for all

191
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: these years, and why you see them thrust upon you

192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: on NBC in primetime and late afternoon windows all these

193
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: years later. It was the dominant exhibited there by Lou

194
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Holtz and those squads and his persona right as a coach,

195
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: he was a speaker. He was a guy that wasn't

196
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: afraid of the microphone. I mean, how many coaches did

197
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: you really hear from back then? Him Bowden, a little

198
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: bit of Joe Paterno screaming at people. Yeah, but you know,

199
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: and even then, because of the way college football was covered,

200
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: you didn't get a lot of it. You got some

201
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: highlights and you got a scoreboard, and then you got

202
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: whatever quotes were in the evening news. Yeah. And look,

203
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: and that's the other thing that he doesn't get enough

204
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: credit for us. Right, Okay, so he brings back Notre

205
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: Dame from the brink of boy it was so great,

206
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: and now they're in disrepair and all of a sudden,

207
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: now the Golden Domers and their musty TV, and they

208
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: have their you know, they have their own network every Saturday.

209
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: But the other thing that he doesn't get enough credit for.

210
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: And look, when people do stuff right, you gotta give

211
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: him credit. ESPN has done college football and college basketball

212
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: unbelievably well now for going on four decades, right, like, really,

213
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: the way that Fox has caught up in both sports

214
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: is fantastic. But leg of credit, college football, college basketball,

215
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: ESPN does tremendously well. They have always done it tremendously well.

216
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: They find a way to service the viewer with the games,

217
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: the coverage, They do it great. But their lasting popularity

218
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: is due to two people, Lee Corso into Lou Holtz.

219
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: Because what these guys were responsible for on the air,

220
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: Lee Corso coming on and being tremendous lightning Rod, not

221
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: just you know, putting on the head gear of the

222
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: team's picking the games, but Lee Corso, the chemistry he

223
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: had with Kirk krb Street and Chris Fowler. But you know,

224
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: Corso was that guy, the beloved guy you tuned in

225
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: every week to see him. What was he gonna say?

226
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: Who was he gonna pick in the big game. And

227
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: lou Holtz was the same way the College Football Final

228
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: on Saturdays, which with him and Mark May and Rhys Davison.

229
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this was It's almost like that was the

230
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: inside the NBA of college football because that was your

231
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: wall to wall coverage all day. You watch lou Holtz

232
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: for what he had to say in Mark May, and

233
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: they did crazy bits throughout the night. They came back

234
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: and forth at each other, like yeah, session with Reese Davis. Yeah,

235
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Reece Davis is dressed as a judge, and lou Holtz

236
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: and Mark May are like making arguments for whoever the

237
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winners should be at that point wherever it

238
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: should be the number two pick in the draft. Like

239
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: this is the kind of show it was for college

240
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: football on Saturday, like the College Football Final. It was

241
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: all day with them and it and that's what right

242
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: remind what I watched is this is kind of like

243
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: watching inside the NBA, where you have your pre show.

244
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: We have the early game, we have the halftime, we

245
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: had the between games, we have the halftime of the

246
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: late game when things get really crazy, and then after

247
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: the late game when everybody's just loopy because you know,

248
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: it's like ten o'clock, one o'clock in the morning at

249
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: football and Shaq and Charles are like, yeah, but that's

250
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: what that show was. And for people who have been

251
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: college football fans of all ages, you get into college

252
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: football in the nineties and you're watching ESPN that had

253
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: all the different games on in ESPN two jumps in

254
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: and then you're seeing smaller colleges on everywhere and Lee

255
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: Corso Game Day, Hey, was just starting to hit its prime.

256
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: And then once it got in there, here comes College

257
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Football Final and it's Lou Holtz and Mark may And

258
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: and Rhys Davis and whoever else would fill in. And

259
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: that was almost a two decade run as well. So

260
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: it was, Hey, we had the pre show to get

261
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: you everything all the way before, Like it was a

262
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: full service day and the two guys that you watched

263
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: all the time were Lee Corso and Lou Holtz. Like,

264
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Lou Holtz doesn't get enough credit for for

265
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: what ESPN had college football. How they continue to grow

266
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: that over the course of the past twenty someone i

267
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: mean stopped a couple of years ago, but the twenty

268
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: years he was there from like two thousand until let's

269
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: say after twenty twenty, it's like like that, this is

270
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: before we're getting games all the time, you know, we

271
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: we're watching him streaming now, so we don't need the

272
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: between games updates because I can see whatever I want to,

273
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, we get everything is more convenient now. So

274
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: this was that show at that time that Hey, when

275
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to know something, when I want to see it,

276
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: they're going to talk about it, and lou Holtz is

277
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna say something really strong and he's gonna not back

278
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: away from it. And it was it was just a great,

279
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: great show. Well, but that was the big thing, right

280
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: we talked about inside the NBA And when we guys

281
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: get critical now, it's like, wow, you're gonna lash it

282
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: out against you. No, no, no, that that's what Corso and

283
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: lou Holtz did forever. Yeah, it's like, look, they had

284
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: the love fest for the coaches, for the players, for

285
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: the game, but they didn't sugarcoate it for you. If

286
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: a guy made a bad decision on a play call,

287
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: they called it out. If a kid made a bad

288
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: decision in game, they called it out. And so that

289
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: honesty brought you in for the following Saturday and Saturday

290
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: after that for all those years exit, how about a

291
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: Fresca exit swollen dome. Lou Holt's passing away today at

292
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,200

293
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: Holtz throughout the show tonight. Well, there's some great Lou

294
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: Holtz stories from his days coaching, and we'll get to

295
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: that that disputed national championship that he almost won the

296
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: second time around. Oh, I thought we were gonna go

297
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: game by game with the Jets. Don't let him play

298
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: three and ten, three in ten and he quit? Okay

299
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: in Tenny quit doesn't matter, he broke, it doesn't matter. Yeah,

300
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: the fact that he'sti went on too a great career

301
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: tells you can survive the Jets. You can survive that.

302
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: She was Sam Donald before Sam Donald, but it took

303
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: him a decade to get back. Look time to get

Speaker 1: two thirty in the morning back in the day. He's great.

360
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: All the drunks coming back from the bars down the

361
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: street and they'd stand in the window and we'd mock

362
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: them while giving fantasy advice. It was great. They had

363
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: to stop giving out uh ketchup packets at school in

364
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: fourth grade, third grade when Kiss was the biggest group

365
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: on the planet. Right, Kiss was the biggest rock river

366
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: on the planet in the late seventies, right when Double

367
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: Platinum came out. Nothing was bigger than Kiss. I had

368
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: their own movie, they had their own everything. They had.

369
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: All four guys did did solo albums. And Gene Simmons,

370
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, we found out that you know, he would

371
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: just you know, his blood would come out of his

372
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: mouth when he's playing songs, and we'd always just biting

373
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: blood packets. So we take a card. I'm sure everybody

374
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: else did this too. Across the country. But we would

375
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: have like like ketchup packets and we would bite them

376
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: down and see if we could make ourselves look like

377
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: Geene Simmons and pop out. And we did it and

378
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: everything was fine. And you know, we we did it

379
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: every day. We would go up to the to the

380
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: lunch the lunch people, and hey, can we get some

381
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: more ketchup? Yeah? Sure, here you go. Here you go, mean, well,

382
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: half the time we're going home and just ketchup all

383
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: over you what happened to be spilled ketchup on me?

384
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: But these two guys once, these two kids once stage

385
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: to fake fight and they're like, I'm gonna do it

386
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: in front of missus. Franz read the uh who was

387
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: Who's a lunch room? She she she supervised a lunch room.

388
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: Is I'm gonna I'm gonna, uh stage a fight. You

389
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: pretend to hit me and I'll bite the blood packet

390
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: and see what happens. And and of course you know

391
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: she's half paying attention. She's somebody throw a punch and

392
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: the kid bites, the bites the blood packets so hard

393
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: like that it gets everywhere, but it gets on him

394
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: and it gets on her and She's like, oh what,

395
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: And then when she figured out what it was like,

396
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: that was it. There was no more ketchup in the

397
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: lunch room for like the rest of the week. If

398
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: you know how to behave, we'll bring ketchup back next week.

399
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: So we had a we had a weak ban on

400
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: ketchup because of that. Yeah, it's funny because I would say,

401
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: I'll speak for a lot of school administrators and teachers.

402
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: They'd love for that to be the biggest issue. Yoh

403
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: yeah right now in nineteen in nineteen seventy eight, that

404
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: was pants got ruined because I gotta catch up on

405
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: him right now. That's a win. I gotta catch him

406
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: on pants, like I get that out. That's not a problem. See,

407
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: that's much better. I had a guy that decided he

408
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: was he learned that there was blading in professional wrestling.

409
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: I can't no, no, no, no no, that was what

410
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: was that in the wrestler? Then maybe I cut you

411
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: whoa whoa no no no no no, no do I

412
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: do that? So emerging out of the darkness today was

413
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Remember he's been on the Darkness retreat for

414
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: the last gramplating his future. Supposedly, he was said there

415
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: was no no soap and no plumbing. I think was

416
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: what it was, No soap and no plumbing. Uh, but

417
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: no plumbing. Okay, not my favorite thing to go to

418
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: the bathroom in nature. But I've camped enough and I've

419
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: hat Okay, that's fine. No soap is tough, no selp, Like, boy,

420
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: I gotta all right, So I gotta go and just

421
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: kinda break some bark off of a tree and like

422
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: rub it under my arms and then just like lay

423
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: in the in the longest rebel in your musk. Yeah,

424
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think a darkness tree is

425
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: more like I'm staying in a cabin in the woods.

426
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: That's that's kind of what it is. Well, I mean

427
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: when you say cabin in the woods, it invokes, uh,

428
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: the movie of that same title, and and really that's

429
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: a whole other world, and you roll with the change. Uh,

430
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: it would have just been cooler with a merman. So

431
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: he comes out of the darkness and he goes on

432
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee show Today. Now what's gonna happen Is Aaron

433
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: Rodgers gonna play football this year coming off a pretty

434
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: good last year with the Steelers, And he gives this

435
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: cryptic answer. But don't worry. I can tell you exactly

436
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: why he appeared on Pat McAfee and what he wants

437
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: to get out there and if he's coming back. But

438
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: here he is talking about how well, if I'm gonna

439
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: come back, I kind of got to hear from Pittsburgh

440
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: at some point.

441
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 4: I've talked to Mike, I've talked to Omar. There's been

442
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 4: no dead that's been you know, that's been put in

443
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 4: front of me. There's no contract, you know, offer or anything.

444
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 4: So there's nothing that I'm you know, having to debate

445
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: between I'm, you know, free agent and you know again,

446
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: I'm I'm enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying

447
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 4: this part of the off season and and you know,

448
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: I think there's conversations to be had down the line,

449
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 4: but right now, I'm not not. There hasn't been any

450
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 4: progressive conversations.

451
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: I like how he's doing the whole I'm choosing more

452
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: time with my family over football time for this and

453
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: more time. Nobody chooses more time with their families. They've

454
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: been away from their family for thirty years. I'm not

455
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: going to suddenly go back now. But he is actually

456
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: choosing time with his wife time with my family in

457
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: the off season. He's the anti Clayton Khaw in your world.

00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: you everything that's gonna happen with Aaron Rodgers just from

462
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: that SoundBite. Okay, First of all, well, Rogers is going

463
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: to play this year. There is no way he's not.

464
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: He is not going to risk not controlling the narrative

465
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: to the end of his career. Right, Guys that are

466
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: big stars. When you get to the level of Aaron Rodgers,

467
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: you want to go out on your terms. You want

468
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: to retire, You want to be the one to call

469
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: the shots. It was dicey for him coming off his

470
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: injuries with the Jets. Was he going to get another

471
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: chance and things were different? But he has a pretty

472
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: decent ish season with the Steelers last year. If he

473
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: was going to retire, he would just retire because he's

474
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: not going to give up the power. He would come

475
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: out and say, you know what, I was in a

476
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: darkness retreat. It was by myself and I was in

477
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: the woods and I talked to a Fox and the

478
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: Fox and how you knowing mister Rodgers and that said,

479
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: oh that's nice, And all of a sudden, here comes

480
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: a deer, and then all of a sudden it's snow

481
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: White and I'm talking a bunch of people. Hio, Hio. Well,

482
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean mcvie's part of the ESPN, you know, ABC,

483
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: Disney Family. They could have really presented that whole thing. Yeah,

484
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: but I still think snow White's on a moratorium. You

485
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: can't you can't get it where ye at Every twenty

486
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: years that Disney does that, they get rid of movies,

487
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: and he can't get him for a while. I think so.

488
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: So they gets all on the street. He definitely wants

489
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: to play. He's definitely going to play, because he's not

490
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: gonna suddenly now go oh now I'm not gonna play.

491
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: He's going to play. He can back up to it

492
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Everybody's got to back up Derek Carr.

493
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: Everybody goes back to all three of them back with

494
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: the Jets. But for Aaron Rodgers, what's he trying to

495
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: accomplish here? He is telling the Steelers, you ain't getting

496
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: me for free this year. Okay, Now, I didn't have

497
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: any influence or cachet going into last season. So he

498
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: really played it from a great perspective of Hey, I

499
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: just want to play. I don't need tons of money

500
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: and go to the I go to the Steelers, and

501
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to finish my career on my terms. Right,

502
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: That's what he wanted to do. He didn't really have

503
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: any any power, he didn't have cachet. He signed a

504
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: one year deal for about fourteen to fifteen million, right, Okay,

505
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: but now he has a pretty good year and Steelers

506
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: are saying, Okay, we're going to go get Mike McCarthy. Okay, great,

507
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: we've got Mike McCarthy. I want Aaron Okay, I had

508
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: a pretty good year last year. You need something, You

509
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: need me, cause you're not gonna get a quarterback anywhere

510
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: in the draft this year. You're not gonna go out

511
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: and get Kyler Murray or Kirk Cousins and bring one

512
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: of those guys in. You want me, and I am

513
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: telling you I am not coming cheap this year. It's

514
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: not gonna be one year. I'll play for love of

515
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: the game. Stuff. The fact that he says there's no

516
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: contract offer, like he didn't say, hey, we're talking. We're

517
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: gonna talk later. Everything is fine. I've talked to Omar,

518
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: I talked to Mike. He is letting everybody know it's

519
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: not just gonna be I roll over and take whatever

520
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: you give me. No, no, no, this is gonna be.

521
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get more money. Maybe it's something with two

522
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: years in it, because I could play this year or

523
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: next year. I've felt my love of the game again.

524
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm playing pretty well. I think I know the offense

525
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: well enough. Yeah, I'm ready to keep going here. I

526
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of like it here in Pittsburgh. I got Mike

527
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: McCarthy all of a sudden, this is a whole new

528
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: world for me. But I ain't coming cheap. So this

529
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: is the first salvo and him saying, you're not gonna

530
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: come at me with Hey, how about one year and

531
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: twelve million. No, this is gonna be if justin bleeping

532
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: Fields can get two years and forty million with the Jets,

533
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: guess what I want two years and forty million. I

534
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: want it all guaranteed, all right, I want thirty million guaranteed.

535
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: He is telling the Steelers, Okay, I'm coming back. I'm playing,

536
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 1: but it ain't just gonna be meat, taking whatever you

537
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: put in front of me. This is gonna be a thing.

538
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: Talked a lot about Latrobe and the love of being

539
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: in front of the fans. One of my favorite places

540
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: to go for those that just love being around football.

541
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: You like the random trips in the summertime, go out

542
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: to Latrobe, go watch some training camp. It it'll be

543
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: hotter than hell, but you get access to the players

544
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of love there. It's a great environment,

545
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: great view, all of that stuff. But it's the idea

546
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: for Rogers. Look, he had a six six point one

547
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: or thereabouts intended air yards per attempt. Only three quarterbacks

548
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: were worse than that last year. You want to guess

549
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: who they were. Both of them played, two of them

550
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: played for the Jets. Only one of them in this

551
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh really okay, okay, so justin fields? Sure? Oh Brady Cook? Yeah, okay,

552
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: all right, I thought both of them, I really I

553
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: thought both of them. Isn't much higher. But here's a three. Okay,

554
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: all right, very good? Okay, And then you got Dylan

555
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: Gabriel and uh free agent to be Kyler Murray. Yeah,

556
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: but then, sorry, I'm a short guy. Can That's that's

557
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: not right. That's not cool man your side. You've been

558
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: sideswiping people since we started the show tonight. Would you

559
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: rather go back to the betting odds. I'm just saying,

560
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to change up my game and keep

561
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: you guessing it. Instead of five nine, you could have

562
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: said he was six seven six seven six. One of

563
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: my kids will come flying through the door and punch me.

564
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: We're done with six seven six seven still a fact,

565
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: It really isn't. It's still god is. It's not as

566
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: big as it was, but it's still exactly game you

567
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: play with Ralph or No, No, No. Six seven six seven

568
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: is still big. It's not quite big in the high

569
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: schools like it was, but now it's trickled down to

570
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: where in the middle school, in the middle schools, in

571
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: the kindergarten, it's still there. Yeah. See, I thought it

572
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: became an old man thing at this point that the

573
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: adults have it, let's let's let it go. Uh And

574
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: it passes on. But for for Rogers, Look, they've got

575
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars of salary cap space. They got rid

576
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: of John H. Smith. That's another seven and changed. Today

577
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: they've told everybody Pat Fryarmouth isn't going anywhere. So now

578
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: you begin the rebuild process.

579
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

580
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Last year, Daniel Jones signed for about the same money

581
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: that Rogers did. Now he's gonna get thirty eight point

582
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: seven and he may not be healthy for week one. Yeah,

583
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: I think if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I'm looking run gun.

584
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: You see what they just did for him, and and

585
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: you got Mike because you can't tell me he didn't

586
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: have some influence in bringing McCarthy in there, right right,

587
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: So it's everybody, uh, you know, washing each other's hands

588
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: and getting getting into the mix here. I mean really,

589
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's gonna he's get more money. He

590
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: knows is the end of his is earning power coming

591
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 1: off this. They need him more than they needed him

592
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: last year. Last year is hey, let's see if we

593
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 1: can work out, help each other out. You work out

594
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: better than the other quarterbacks. Yet it did. Okay, hey,

595
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: all right now now okay, but now you're gonna give

596
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: me a little bit more. Yeah, I was half expecting

597
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: him to hold up the list of all the free

598
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,680

713
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: football today, and this is you know, when I saw this,

714
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: I just said, boy incoming from you, jerks, you and

715
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Frosburg in three two. According to a couple of media reports,

716
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: microfo one of them, the New York Jets are doing

717
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: their homework onto a tongue of ila. Well, I won't

718
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: have to pay him the ninety nine A right. I mean,

00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: he's going to get released at some point in the

720
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,680

721
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: not they're going to eat all the money or you know,

722
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,920

723
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: and the Jets are doing the homework onto a tongue

724
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: of ila. Okay, this is really pushing my I can

725
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: get excited about any quarterback philosophy to the limit, because

726
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: the only homework you need to do is say you've

727
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: seen toa throw the football. You've seen the wins at

728

729
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: Lefty him throwing the ball at Netlife. You want Tua

730
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: throwing the football at MetLife Stadium. Understand, that's the only

731
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: homework you need to do. Is that right there? Again?

732
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: Put it's pushing me, Mike, it's pushing me. I want

733
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: to be positive out all the quarter because if Sam

734
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: Darnold can win, anybody can win. I want to be positive, man,

735
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: I want to want. I want to be excited when

Speaker 1: the captain. I want to be put But this is

739
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: pushing it, man, this is putt. Let's take the guy

740
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: with the weakest arm in the NFL and put him

741
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: in the most difficult place to throw the football. What

742
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: could possibly go wrong? You're just gonna have to be

743
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: pinpoint precision in terms of the timing routs, which is

744
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,879

00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: up the rest, which gives you a lot of money

767
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: for other guys. So I try to help him be better.

768
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: So the best to way he can be you don't

769
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: have to pay a guy who stinks, which I guess

770
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: is better than paying a guy who's Yeah, but it

771
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because it still means a guy's stakes. Yeah,

772
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: but you're gonna be able to say we got him

773
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: on the cheet But when the and then next year

774
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: when you're drafting at the top of the draft, because

775
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: you will be look at you, Dante More don't be

776
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: waiting for you. Well look now, look there is a

777
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: silver lining to this story. But first I want to

778
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: say is that we talked about the best fit for Tua,

779
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: and we've talked about the two biggest things were getting

780
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 1: off the radar screen for a little while and getting

781
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: to a place that is weather friendly for him to

782
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: throw the football. That's why Minnesota works because he's off

783
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: the radar for a little bit and playing half his

784
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: games in a dome. That's what he needs. This is

785
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: the exact and total op. This is Hey, let's go

786
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: to a bigger pressure cooker. And let's put you in

787
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: a place where, yeah, you're just gonna throw flutterballs. Yeah,

788
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: but the Minnesota's cork. You see how angry people get

789
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: about anything related to JJ McCarthy. Flutterball he goes into

790
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: that head. You know what, that send him to Arizona.

791
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about Arizona. The only silver lining is this,

792
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: and I'm being here, it's the only silver lining is

793
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: this is you're really trying to get it, get you get?

794
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: Is getting this part of why getting excited about now?

795
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: Normally I get said, I could get excited about any

796
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: quarterback because again, if Sam Darnold can win the Super Bowl,

797
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: lots of guys, guy, guy, Yeah, but that's not why

798
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited. That's why I'm excited. Why are you My

799
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: excitement is that if the Jets signed to a that

800
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: is going to maybe be their best chance at drafting

801
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: number one overall next year and getting Arch Manning or

802
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: Dante more or both of them, because they could be

803
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: that bad. Hey, we're gonna give you the first two

804
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: picks because you really need to do something here. We

805
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: can't have a New York team beat this bad for

806
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: this long. So the one thing getting to a Hey,

807
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: I have no doubt. Well, Number one, he'll throw every

808
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: ball to Garrett Wilson if you haven't been fantasy. Secondly,

809
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: this is their best chance to tank is getting to us.

810
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: So there is that well, and they also have a

811
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: long storied history of left handed quarterbacks. Let's go through

812
00:39:54,320 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: the boomer asiasin Mark Brunell, Michael Vick and say his name. Nope,

813
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: say it, Nope, Nope, nope, nope, your guy t Bow Nope.

814
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: I remember being at training camp watching that battle. I

815
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: love it. Once they pulled those cones away and let

816
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: him just run phrenetically side to side, creat chaos. He

817
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: completed some passes inside the cones, not so much. Maybe

818
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: Tua can better that effort here at I mean that,

819
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: that's all the homework you need on to it. Really

820
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: stretching my flub, really stretching my positivity to the limit.

821
