Speaker 4: Oh, let's go, let's go, let's go.

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 5: What's happening on Monday night football right now? Is causing

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 5: me to reevaluate a lot of things?

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have.

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 5: First of all, how hilarious is it to find out

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 5: that the winner take all Saturday night Buccaneers Panthers game

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 5: might not be winner take all? Because, as Robert G

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 5: just pointed out, who said hey to me and then

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 5: proceeded to say nothing after saying hi. So I hope

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 5: you're doing well, rob G. But yeah, I know, he's like,

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 5: he's like, hey, what's going on? Like, dude, how about

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 5: our raiders?

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: Nothing but that makes sense.

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 4: Just walked away from you.

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: Just gone, just walked away. I think he thought he

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: was talking to you. That's righter.

27
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 5: Fans will nabby now very snappy. Well, you know, odd

28
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 5: cup butts big time around.

29
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 4: It is big time.

30
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 5: Robbed an evening acknowledge we were in. I mean, but

31
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 5: how funny is it? First of all, I heard Rob

32
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 5: g say this, and I wasn't even aware of it,

33
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 5: that if the Falcons win their last two games, regardless

34
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 5: of what happens on Saturday, the Panthers are in the playoffs.

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: I'm glad.

36
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 6: See now I get to say this. I'm glad you

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 6: listened to me yesterday. We me and the Seger both

38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 6: said that in one of the updates it was it

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 6: wasn't the last minute thing, but you have the Falcons

40
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 6: win both games. But nobody thought it was gonna happen.

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 6: Somebody just said, I forget about it.

42
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 5: You know, well they just added to their lead with

43
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 5: a fifty six yard field goal and with seven forty

44
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 5: six to go in the third court of the Falcons

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 5: lead the Rams twenty forty three. In my defense, you

46
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: say a lot of things that we have to fix

47
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 5: on Sunday night. There is a lot of things we

48
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: have to dubble double triple stamp. But b Jhon Robinson

49
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 5: tonight has said in an Atlanta Falcons record for most

50
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 5: yards from scrimmage in a Falcons season, automatically like the

51
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: first name that comes to mind. It's like hud beat

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 5: Jamal Anderson, Billy White Shoes Johnson. Don't know off the

53
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: top of my head who had that record. It might

54
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 5: have been him, but b Jhon Robinson sets that mark.

55
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 5: And I don't know. Maybe this is wrong, maybe I'm

56
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 5: not thinking about it the right way, but I'm one

57
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 5: of those guys that thought Stafford was a lot for

58
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 5: the MVP, thought the Rams were going to be a

59
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 5: team that we'd be seeing on Championship Sunday. Now watching

60
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 5: this tonight, I don't know, man, It's got me questioning

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: and rethinking everything.

62
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: We hardly talked about this game.

63
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 6: Last night, I know, but you know, because one is

64
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 6: that fair though, Well, you're right, we hardly talked about it,

65
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 6: as I thought it really had very little meaning except

66
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 6: for the Rams out there too, is very isn't fair

67
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 6: to go ahead and base the guys a year on

68
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 6: the first half of football or even this whole game,

69
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 6: And obviously with DeVante Adams out and I know everybody

70
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 6: has injuries, you know, it's just he's had a remarkable year.

71
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 4: He really has.

72
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 6: A matter of fact, there was some people saying, I

73
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 6: think I said this over to you that if he

74
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 6: won the super Bowl this year, he'll go down as

75
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 6: one of the.

76
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: Great quarterbacks in the NFL of all time.

77
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 5: Well, let's let's be clear when you say some people

78
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: it was one guy and it was dan Orloski.

79
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: Yeah it was. But I liked it. I thought it

80
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 4: was a good, good day.

81
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: So there's some people out there, Oh, you mean dan

82
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 5: Orlowski one person that said it.

83
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, some people.

84
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 5: By the way, though, I was right the other funny,

85
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: the other funny wording that you sent me today that

86
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 5: I couldn't help it laugh at. Yeah, and welcome into

87
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 5: the Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmen. Arnie is basically

88
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 5: your shown. I think this is the third straight show

89
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 5: that you've been.

90
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: Sitting in I don't give her take something like that, and.

91
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: You finally let me sit in with you.

92
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: So thank you.

93
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 5: Well, you sent me the tweet from Adam Schefter, and

94
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: I've I've laughed at this verbiage all day long.

95
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: He's the real Adam Schefter, isn't it that I send

96
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: you the real one.

97
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: Or no, no, you did.

98
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: And this was actually from the Pat McAfee show, and

99
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: the phrasing was this, Adam Schefter said on the Pat

100
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: McAfee show quote, it's in the realm of possibility that

101
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: Mike Tomlin leaves the dealers with a loss on Sunday.

102
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 5: Who uses that kind of phrasing in life or in sports? Arnie,

103
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 5: within the realm of possibility? What the hell are you

104
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 5: even talking about, Adam Schefter? What are we doing here?

105
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: It isn't the realm of possibility though, you know, I.

106
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: Think we've said that possibility.

107
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: We said, do you think Tamal will keep his job

108
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 4: and going?

109
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: Well?

110
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 4: It isn't the realm of possible. Could keep it, could

111
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: not keep it? You never know.

112
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 5: I understand there's there's some sports fans that are on

113
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 5: another plane when it comes to verbiage, their vocabulary and

114
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: their education. But we're all just kind of hay seeds.

115
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 5: I mean, we're just simpletons.

116
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: Man.

117
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 5: You don't have to sound fancy, you don't have to

118
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 5: use big words, you don't have to use some sort

119
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: of phrasing. Is he leaving or not? If they lose?

120
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 5: It's that realm of possibility anyway, welcome to the show tonight.

121
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: I found myself very surprised with your rundown, Arnie. For

122
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 5: every show we do and for those that haven't had

123
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 5: a chance to catch us before, Arnie and I do

124
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 5: the Sunday night show here on Fox Sports Radio. We've

125
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 5: been blessed to be doing the ten p to two

126
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 5: a Eastern show for.

127
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: Like twelve years something like that.

128
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 5: I hate to celebrate anniversaries because the way but what

129
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 5: I say, ten peter two give time. See it's ten

130
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: p Central time, and I tried to be fancy and

131
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 5: use the Eastern time zone and it threw me off.

132
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 5: I don't like celebrating anniversaries and radio because usually that's

133
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: the point where someone looks at another person in management

134
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 5: and goes think it's about.

135
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: Time for a change. They've been doing that for a

136
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: long time. Enough. Yeah, that's long enough. So we work

137
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: together every Sunday night.

138
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 5: So if you were around, or if you picked up

139
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 5: a podcast today, or if you caught it last night,

140
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 5: there could be a lot of repetition from.

141
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: Last night's show.

142
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 5: But no, no, no, we wipe the slate clean. We

143
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 5: get a fresh Roman numeral rundown. So I laid out

144
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 5: because every single show we do, Arnie doesn't use spreadsheets,

145
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,119
Speaker 5: he doesn't use Excel, he doesn't use a power point

146
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 5: or or word or whatever.

147
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 4: He hasn't believed friendship.

148
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, your penmanship is terrible, but you break out

149
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 5: a yellow pad and you use Roman numerals to write

150
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 5: down all the topics you want to get to. And

151
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 5: sometimes the Roman numerals are like the same things four

152
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 5: different ways.

153
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: Right.

154
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: But I found myself in shock that whenever I opened

155
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 5: up the Roman numeral rundown today, Arnie, to see that

156
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 5: the number one topic you had was the college football playoffs.

157
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 6: I know, well, because it's I'm kind of getting mixed

158
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 6: up with all the days. Like I said, you've been

159
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 6: working this shift, in that shift, and it's Wednesday.

160
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 4: It starts on a Wednesday, that's right.

161
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 6: So Miami with Ohio State, with a whole other slew

162
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: of bowl games which well probably won't pay attention to

163
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 6: except for maybe Michigan and Texas, and then you got

164
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 6: the other three on Thursday on the first.

165
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: So I'm ready to roll.

166
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 6: I'm I'm looking forward to a somewhat of a close

167
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 6: Miami of Ohio State game. I think I've talked to

168
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 6: myself in the game being closer than everybody's giving Miami

169
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 6: credit for.

170
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 5: I talked with Bob Stoops today on my local show

171
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 5: on our affiliate out of Oklahoma City and thought the

172
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 5: same thing you and I like minded here whenever it

173
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 5: comes to the playoffs.

174
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: I think Miami's got some dudes.

175
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: And I think sometimes in college football we gauge a

176
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: team solely on its quarterback, and Carson back hasn't been

177
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 5: all that fantastic consistently this year. So I think a

178
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 5: lot of people just look in Miami and say, oh, well,

179
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 5: they'll go as far as bet goes.

180
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: But man, I think they're pretty good. I mean, I

181
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: think they're really good.

182
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 6: Do you think the teams that got the buy or

183
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 6: that didn't have to play obviously gonna have the big

184
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 6: advantage or is that just going to be a small

185
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 6: advantage in this one?

186
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: They were all to four last year, the teams that

187
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 5: got the buy, but also last season, all four teams

188
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: had played a home playoff game one. This year they

189
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 5: went to and two, with the Sooners and the Aggies

190
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 5: both losing at home, while Oregon and oh gosh, who

191
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: else was that took care of business in a big

192
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 5: time way.

193
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: So that's a good question. I don't know.

194
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 5: A lot of colleges are very used to it because

195
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 5: you've had ole miss I'm sorry, you've had this amount

196
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 5: of breaks between big games for a really long time

197
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 5: in college football, where the end of the regular season

198
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: or even a conference championship game, you're waiting from about

199
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: December sixth, seventh, or eighth until January first before you

200
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 5: play your big game, right historically, so to me, there's

201
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: familiarity with a lot of the teams that have been

202
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 5: on the by Signetti has been around Nick Saban forever,

203
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 5: He's learned how to handle that. Obviously, Kirby Smart's done

204
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 5: it before. So I guess the only team that might

205
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: be pretty unique is what Texas Tech because they had

206
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 5: never been in this situation.

207
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: By the way, touchdown rams, So that's a good question.

208
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 5: I don't know, Arnie, and I'll be real interested to

209
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 5: see because I don't think the odds makers really care

210
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 5: about it too terribly much. I think in kind of

211
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: the way they've looked at the spreads, that hasn't really

212
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 5: been too much of a factor.

213
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: The rest versus rust conversation, right, and by.

214
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 6: The way, remember what I keep thinking of the what

215
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 6: was it the agent that we had that I had

216
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 6: on Oh yeah, we played it. The guy that was

217
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 6: like Texas TechEd played for a championship.

218
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: And thought the man was crazy. He thought the man

219
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: was nuts.

220
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 5: Now again, he did blow some smoke about the offer

221
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 5: that was out there for his play, right, you know

222
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 5: that was that was a little bit of fake news.

223
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 5: But what we did find out is Texts Text put

224
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 5: together hell of a roster and they're gonna be a

225
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 5: problem for a long time because apparently there are no

226
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: rules anymore in college football and you can just pay

227
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 5: whatever you want, whenever you want. And Tech, by god,

228
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 5: they're gonna do it. And if there's no one that's

229
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 5: gonna stop you, go for it. Cody Campbell, I'm here

230
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: for it. But are you is this in any way,

231
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: shape or form lead you to think that they're gonna

232
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 5: take care of Oregon?

233
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: Are you leaning that way?

234
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 7: No?

235
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 6: You know, I'm that's really a coin flip for me.

236
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 6: I can see either team winning it. I'm I'm going

237
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 6: with Oregon, but I want Oregon to win. But man,

238
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 6: Texas Tech is just so good offensively. They got the

239
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 6: resident I mean, not that Oregon put out a whole

240
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 6: heck of a lot in their game. Gosh, I just

241
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 6: go back and forth, like I get the fill in

242
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 6: Texas Tech's got the better offense too, So I mean,

243
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 6: I'm probably.

244
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: Gonna go with Oregon in this one. But it is

245
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 4: a coin flip game.

246
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 5: It is wild that you wanted to talk college football

247
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 5: playoffs right off the top, because Bursch has hooked us

248
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 5: up with a great guest, a man who is going

249
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 5: to be covering the Rose Bowl, Ryan Faller from Tide

250
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: Radio in Tuscolus, is gonna join us and we'll break

251
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: down all things Ty Simpson, all things Alabama related. But

252
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 5: I that's coming up in our next segment. But I

253
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 5: did want to wrap our college football talk with this.

254
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: There is one thing that we fight a lot, we

255
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: disagree a lot, and the Sager is part of this

256
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 5: too because he's with us every Sunday night. There's a

257
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: lot of different teams that we think are good and

258
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 5: you think they suck, and I think that teams suck

259
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 5: and you think they're good players, so on and so forth.

260
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 5: But there is one I think across the sports world

261
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 5: take that everyone agrees upon, Arnie, and that it's necessary

262
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 5: to have more home playoff games and fewer Bowl games

263
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 5: when it comes to playoffs.

264
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely, I'm home sites. Yeah, I would like to.

265
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 4: I wish this.

266
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 6: Round was another home round and then you could have

267
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 6: the Final four at a neutral site and then the championship.

268
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 6: That would have been okay with me to work that

269
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 6: one out. But yeah, I need, yeah, I need a

270
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 6: bunch of home games. I love the atmosphere, the fans.

271
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 6: It's too expensive to think that the fans are traveling

272
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 6: right now before New Year's, after Christmas to go to

273
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 6: the rows of the cotton or wherever, to spend money

274
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 6: on tickets and housing and rentals and all that stuff.

275
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 4: It's just it's just not going to happen. It really isn't.

276
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: All right.

277
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 5: The Rams are trying to scratch and claw themselves back

278
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: into this football game. Touchdown Matt Stafford. So is he

279
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 5: the leader for the MVP again?

280
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 6: Uh?

281
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 5: Four fifty nine to go in the third quarter, the

282
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: Falcons lead at twenty four to ten.

283
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: We'll keep eyes on this game.

284
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 6: And Chris one thing, we have to keep your eye

285
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: on it. I don't want to go ahead and throw

286
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 6: it make a left turn here. But it just happened

287
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 6: before we got on the air, Jokic for Denver went

288
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 6: down with a serious, I mean a serious knee injury.

289
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 6: I was reading it on Twitter. Doctor Chow, you know

290
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 6: who talks about this type of stuff. He said, he's

291
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 6: hoping it's not an ACL, but they're gonna do medical

292
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 6: tests all through all the night.

293
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: We won't.

294
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 6: I don't think we're gonna get an answer on this

295
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 6: until tomorrow. But there's they're talking that it could possibly

296
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 6: be in ACL. The way he was clutching it. You know,

297
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 6: when you're clutching and you're in pain, you could tell somebody. Sure,

298
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 6: I don't know, I just did. It could be fifty

299
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 6: to fifty at this point. I don't think we're gonna

300
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 6: find out tonight though I'm that situation.

301
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 5: Probably not. But you know, I'm I've been home. I'm

302
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 5: in Saint Louis or just outside of Saint Louis. So gambling, sports, gambling,

303
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 5: sports wagering is legal here. I live in the state

304
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 5: typically whether it's not. And so everything that's on my

305
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: Twitter feed and every advertisement is Draft Kings or fan

306
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 5: duel or fanatics, and there's been a lot of buzz

307
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 5: on my timeline that they're honoring all prop bets we're

308
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: impacted by Nicola yokicch second quarter injury, or at the

309
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 5: very least something called at fanatics book, they call it

310
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 5: the home Affair. Play will honor all player prop bets

311
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 5: that have been impacted by Nicola Jokich's second quarter injury.

312
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 5: I wonder, Arnie, if this ends up, because I mean

313
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: season affecting and season ending. I wonder if they'll go

314
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 5: as far as far as impacting those season long props

315
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 5: if people had on him.

316
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 6: I'm not sure about that. There is a video of

317
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 6: him getting hurt.

318
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 4: There was a goat.

319
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: I mean, every game's on TV, aren't he right?

320
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 6: But there was a good, good, you know, view of it,

321
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 6: and it looked serious. Man, it really did, especially the

322
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 6: way he was clutching it and everything. And everybody got

323
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 6: on Twitter and they're like, oh my goodness, please tell

324
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 6: me it's not his ACL.

325
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: So we'll just keep our fingers crossed on that.

326
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it'd be tough, he is. The Nuggets

327
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: are looking pretty good this year. I mean, listen, nobody's

328
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 5: on the level right now of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

329
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 5: But the Nuggets were a team that even last year,

330
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: you know, pushed him to seven and you know have

331
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 5: been a problem for Okac, so no Yokich. If that's

332
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 5: the case, yeah, then it's obviously a major storyline.

333
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 6: Do you think it would if knock Wood? If it

334
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 6: is at Acl. I'm just thinking, because you know, he's

335
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 6: not like in the best of shape. I whether if

336
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 6: it takes them all a little bit longer, or if

337
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 6: it has any effects on his rehabilitation from something like that.

338
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: You know, well, I mean he's a beast. He's not

339
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: the most spelt guy on No, he's not.

340
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: Anyway, We'll keep an eye on a major story developing

341
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 5: tonight with Nicola Jokis's injury.

342
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger, We'll keep eyes on it all night long.

343
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 5: Hey, when we come back, let's revisit Roman Numeral Run

00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 5: Alabama, Indiana, We're talking Rose Bowl here in seconds with

372
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: Ryan Fowler. But real quick, what a swing a momentum

373
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 5: in the Rams Falcons game, Atlanta was looking to kick

374
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 5: a field goal to go back up three scores right,

375
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 5: and Jared Vers blocked it, took it seventy six yards

376
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: for a touchdown. Now we start the fourth quarter, aren't you.

377
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 5: It's a whole new game. Atlanta leads at twenty four

378
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 5: to seventeen.

379
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: How aout year.

380
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 6: It's so funny is I stopped paying attention to it

381
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 6: and said, Okay, I'm gonna pay attention to the Knicks game,

382
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 6: and of course let's go to.

383
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 4: My Arizona Wildcats.

384
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 9: Er.

385
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 6: I'm paying attention into that. I'm like, the football game's over.

386
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 6: I don't need to pay attention to that one.

387
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 5: Well, go back to not paying attention to it, because

388
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 5: things seemed to happen when you don't. All right, let's

389
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 5: talk college football. Already had at number one on the

390
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 5: Roman numeral rundown. We're pumped to be joined by our

391
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 5: good friend Ryan Faller, host of the game with Ryan

392
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 5: Fowler on tied one hundred point nine in Tusco. Loose

393
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 5: a great follow on Twitter to at Ryan see fallor.

394
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: Ryan.

395
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 5: First of all, thanks for taking time. Hope you're having

396
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 5: a great holiday. What's the excitement level been like after

397
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 5: the comeback win over Oklahoma?

398
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: Now, leading up to the Rose Bowl this week.

399
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 10: You know, it's been pretty off the charts when you

400
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 10: look at it. I mean, think about the first quarter,

401
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 10: and I know you were there. First what half of

402
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 10: the second quarter, Alabama looked dead in the water. I mean,

403
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 10: there was no way to TEA was going to be

404
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 10: able to come from behind. And then all of a sudden,

405
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 10: out of the grave, here comes Alabama. So it's kind

406
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 10: of a it's really breathed a new life in this

407
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 10: Alabama football team from a fan base. You got to remember,

408
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 10: the Michigan rumors were there, even though I never thought

409
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 10: anything that it was going to materialize, but it was

410
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 10: still some anks in this Alabama fan base that there

411
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 10: was still a possibility. They had heard so much on

412
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 10: the social networks. You know that Michigan was going to

413
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 10: try to slip in and make an offer that the

414
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 10: Boer couldn't refuse. And Alabama was able to come from

415
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 10: behind and beat Oklahoma. And now they're as healthy as

416
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 10: they have been. We just got an entry report probably

417
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 10: about what fifteen minutes ago now maybe an hour and

418
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 10: fifteen minutes ago, and it's the best report that I

419
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 10: have seen this year from an Alabama health standpoint even

420
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 10: prior to Florida State, because people say, well, how about

421
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 10: the first game. You have to remember they were with

422
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 10: out there starting running back and their lead on defense

423
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 10: Tim Keenan, the anchor of that defensive front. So they

424
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 10: had not been healthy, this healthy in a long time.

425
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 10: So there is a re energized fan base and an

426
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 10: Alabama football team in Tuscabloos ahead of the rose Ball

427
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 10: they actually just landed about three minutes ago.

428
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 6: You know that re energized fan base. Was that the

429
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 6: same fan base that if you opened up your phone

430
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 6: lines at the end of the first quarter, they would

431
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: have been cursing the hell out of the team.

432
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: Is that the same whata or what?

433
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 7: Yes?

434
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, And there's many games like that

435
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 10: throughout the season that I would have hated to be

436
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 10: able to do a radio show. I mean, but I

437
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 10: think this Alabama fan base can understand. I mean, you

438
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 10: go back to the Georgia game, and I think the

439
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 10: national audience looks at that game and says, man, that

440
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 10: was an absolute beat down.

441
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 5: And it was.

442
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 7: But I think you also have to understand.

443
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 10: There were thirteen players that were not able to go

444
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 10: or practice that entire leading and multiple guys like Parker

445
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 10: Brolls for your great center. I mean, you're running backs,

446
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 10: your wide receivers, you're tight ends. So everybody has that

447
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 10: image of Alabama in their head.

448
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 7: And remember this is a team, if healthy, can go out.

449
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 10: And win a national title. I mean, and that sounds

450
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 10: crazy for the average college football.

451
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 7: Fans, but you have to remember where this team was.

452
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 10: That you know, going on the road beating Georgia in

453
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 10: Actons probably one of the best wins of the college

454
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 10: football season.

455
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 7: To be able to do what they were able to do.

456
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 10: Against Oklahoma, you start looking back battle tested football team

457
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 10: and like I said, there's a new energy in tuscolous

458
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 10: So that believes, Hey, this team can do some damage

459
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 10: out of the Rose Bowl.

460
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: Why shouldn't there be, right?

461
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 5: I mean, first of all, Arnie, you obviously have never

462
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 5: worked in a true diehard college town if you think

463
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: that people would act be acting normal after trailing at

464
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 5: the end of the first quarter or second quarter. But secondly,

465
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 5: this was one of the if not the best team

466
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: in college football heading into the Oklahoma game, and Tuscaloosa

467
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 5: ryan that stretch they were on, had Ty Simpson at

468
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 5: the top of everyone's Heisman conversation, the top five quarterback

469
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 5: in the draft Heil still might be and a defense

470
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 5: that everyone was sleeping on. I mean, you know, I

471
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 5: said it about of the twelve teams in the playoffs,

472
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 5: you know, ten of the twelve teams in the playoffs,

473
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 5: there was a stretch where you looked at him and thought, damn,

474
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 5: this team could win at all. And Alabama was near the.

475
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 2: Top of that.

476
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 10: Yes, oh absolutely. I mean when you look at you know,

477
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 10: the way TODs Simpson was playing, the way that this

478
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 10: offense was clicking. Now, they've never been able to run

479
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 10: the football. But here's something that they've had to go

480
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 10: through with all those injuries is we have watched them

481
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 10: build a lot of depth that may pay dividends as

482
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 10: they get in this playoff run, you know. And a

483
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 10: great example is that Elti Overton. You get Elgi Overton back,

484
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 10: which was just an absolute you know, Havo creator all

485
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 10: that defensive front. Well, now you've also developed Keyon Keeley

486
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 10: has come into his own at a big game against

487
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 10: Oklahoma right there when look at the pressure. Kelby Collins

488
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 10: another guy that's had to jump in and play a

489
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 10: significant role. But now you get lt Overton back for

490
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 10: this game, and there was a major illness around with him,

491
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 10: and really it's not been this flows exactly what that was,

492
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 10: but it was a medical situation. Well now he's been clear,

493
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 10: so he's good to go. You get Josh Begas back,

494
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 10: which was limited in that Oklahoma game, you're tied end.

495
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 10: That's just gonna safe the albums. But now you've built

496
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 10: a defense that is championship caliber defense. I've always thought

497
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 10: that Alabama's defense was played into a level that could

498
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 10: go out and compete for a championship. But now you

499
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 10: hopefully get some of those offensive pieces back and we'll see.

500
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 10: You know, the pressure now is on Indiana and Chris.

501
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 10: You were the Oklahoma game. Something jumped out to me

502
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 10: about that game. Oklahoma had been sitting out and in

503
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 10: that second half, it to me it played a factor

504
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 10: because I kept watching the Oklahoma guys look fatigue because

505
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 10: it had been a little bit since they had been

506
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 10: on the football field. I almost wonder, in some ways

507
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 10: will that impact Indiana because it's been a long time

508
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 10: since they beat Ohio State, you know, in the college

509
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 10: football playoffs.

510
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 7: Excuse me, in the Big Ten championship.

511
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 10: And so now you've got it with thirty days, and

512
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 10: you can simulate a lot of stuff. I just don't

513
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 10: know if you can simulate three and a half hours

514
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 10: of a game rep in a two hour practice that

515
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 10: you're limited. I wonder if that could be a factor

516
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 10: in this game.

517
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 6: You know, right, I could go for another round of

518
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 6: home games. I don't like the neutral sites. I would

519
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: love for this round too to be in a home site.

520
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 6: With that being said, you think Alabama's going to be

521
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 6: well represented at the Rose Bowler.

522
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 10: One, No, I think Indiana is going to have the

523
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 10: big number. I think Indiana is going to have the number.

524
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 10: I think there's going to be a lot of Alabama

525
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,120
Speaker 10: fans there. But you also have to keep in mind,

526
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 10: you know, they had the week that they could go

527
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 10: out and buy tickets, or even two weeks prior from

528
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 10: them knowing that they were going, so they probably soaked

529
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 10: up a lot of the market. But Arnie, you make

530
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 10: a great point. Okay, And I don't mind telling you this.

531
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 10: I'm not in Pasadena because of the cost, and this

532
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 10: is the first playoff game that I've thought been to

533
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 10: since Alabama started. But I've got to like calculate, Okay,

534
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 10: if I do this more.

535
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 7: That I know that there's another game, and there's a

536
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 7: you know.

537
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 10: A national title game, so you know, as a small business, awready,

538
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 10: you've got to kind of calculate that. And I bet

539
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 10: I'm having the same faults that a lot of fans.

540
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 3: To go to.

541
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 10: The ticket prices of each four of these games. Guys,

542
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 10: there's the Miami Ohio State game. I think I saw

543
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 10: it forty dollars. Georgia to ol Miss is expensive because

544
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 10: it's geographically it's close to the Sugar Bowl. But even

545
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 10: the Alabama Indiana game, I want to say it was

546
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 10: one hundred and fifty.

547
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 7: Guys. We need to do this and.

548
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 10: Quit covering for our bowl friends and our executives. The

549
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 10: bowl system is dead, and unfortunately it is. I mean

550
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 10: it's just let's have a couple, you know, the semi

551
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 10: final rounds. But the bowl system as we knew it

552
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 10: growing up, Uh, it just it's no longer exists for

553
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 10: the average fan because you've got to book these flights

554
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 10: so quickly, and now we're going to be increasing they

555
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 10: become irrelevant even more than what they are currently. Let's

556
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 10: do away with it. Get another look at that Oklahoma

557
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 10: crowd on a Friday evening. Look at the ratings when

558
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 10: you're showing it for TV. You want that environment because

559
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 10: it creates something that you know, it fulls people in.

560
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: That was an.

561
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 10: Epic of just atmosphere. Even coach Saban was talking about

562
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 10: it prior to the game. I'd hate to know I

563
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 10: had to play in this crowd. Well, that's what we want,

564
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 10: and that's where the NFL has the advantage. You know

565
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 10: for the NFC Championships that they're in the home venues,

566
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 10: that they have that atmosphere that we're all craving, but

567
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 10: we goes to go away from it and put it

568
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 10: in mutual sites.

569
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 5: Hey, real quick before I let you go, I always

570
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 5: like to ask you this, because no one's as in

571
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 5: betted or in tune with Alabama football than Ryan Fowler.

572
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 5: Give me an X factor, a player to keep an

573
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 5: eye on that could end up being a major difference

574
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 5: maker for the squad.

575
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: On I think you've got Thursday.

576
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 10: I think you've got to go back to Josh Quavis

577
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 10: because when I look at Indiana, I think there's some

578
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 10: money to be made because I don't think they're going

579
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 10: to be able to play man against Alabama, and I

580
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 10: think that zone of those checkdowns are going to be

581
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 10: so important. I think that's the key when you look

582
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 10: at it. But I also looked at that Alabama has

583
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 10: got a lot of things that they have been preparing for.

584
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 10: I think up Tempo's another one.

585
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 7: But I think you've got to go back to Todd Simpson.

586
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 10: If he's patient in this zone defense and takes what

587
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 10: the defense is willing to give you, I think Todd

588
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 10: Simpson could be that guy that can make some money,

589
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 10: not just for you know, the rolls balls, but also

590
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 10: for his future in the National Football League.

591
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: I agree.

592
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 5: All right, Hey, Ryan, thanks for joining us tonight. Have

593
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 5: a great countdown to the game. It's going to be

594
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 5: a fun one. I can't wait till Thursday.

595
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 7: Hey, you guys, have a great rest of your day.

596
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 7: Thank you for the invitation.

597
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: Good luck Ryan Fouton.

598
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: Indiana fans are going to get mad with you wishing

599
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: him all this luck.

600
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 5: On you anti indm Hey, Steve Seger is in tonight

601
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 5: because we got all kinds of craziness going on in

602
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: the world of sports.

603
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: Including oh ball fumble turnover.

604
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 5: Falcons have the football, there's a flag on the play,

605
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: but twenty four to seventeen, Atlanta has the lead. Steve,

606
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 5: what a wild game this has turned into.

607
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 9: I was just thinking, what's the last time the Falcons

608
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 9: franchise blew a huge lead in the second half?

609
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 11: Ye see, I cha't think.

610
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

611
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 11: Penalties on Atlanta by the way offside?

612
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh jeez.

613
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 9: You guys just made a great point about the big

614
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 9: four games in college football that coming up. So while

615
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 9: the ticket prices are enormous for Georgia at the Sugar Bowl,

616
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 9: you know Miami has got Oregon against Texas Tech and

617
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 9: you can get in for under fifty bucks in upper

618
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 9: level seats for the Orange Bowl. And the Cowboys Stadium

619
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 9: is hosting the New Year's Eve night game with Ohio

620
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 9: State and Miami and you can get under forty bucks

621
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 9: tickets for that game. For the Rose Bowl in Pasadena,

622
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 9: the face value ticket prices start at about two hundred dollars.

623
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 9: There are a shocking number of end zone seats available

624
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 9: for under one fifty under face value in Pasadena. Keep

625
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 9: in mind, unlike a couple of the other games that

626
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 9: are indoors, it's going to rain again in Los Angeles

627
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 9: this week. There was a lot of rain last week,

628
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 9: new storm is coming. Chance of rain on New Year's

629
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 9: Eve in Pasadena is almost ninety percent New Year's Day

630
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 9: for the parade and the Rose Bowl game, it's over

631
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 9: ninety percent chance of rain.

632
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 4: But it never rains in California.

633
00:28:59,480 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: What do you talk.

634
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 9: I could count on one hand the times it has

635
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 9: rained on New Year's Day in southern California. So this

636
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 9: is going to be rare, but it's going to happen.

637
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 9: And being the beautiful old stadium that it is, there

638
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 9: is absolutely no covering whatsoever is zero. I don't believe

639
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 9: the umbrellas are allowed either.

640
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 4: No, you can't do that. There's no umbrella is allowed.

641
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 9: We got about nine minutes to go in the Monday

642
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 9: night football game at Atlanta. The Falcons are holding on

643
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 9: twenty four to seventeen over the Rams, and my goodness,

644
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 9: Matthew Stafford just through a third interception.

645
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: Of the night.

646
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 9: Wow, So this might actually happen. We talked about it

647
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 9: last night, Arnie. It's amazing that the Carolina game is

648
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 9: coming up this Saturday to end their regular season at

649
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 9: Tampa Bay, and everybody rightly so is thinking, Okay, Carolina

650
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 9: wins that or even a tie at Tampa Bay Saturday,

651
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 9: they clinch the NFC South title. There's another way they

652
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 9: can win it. Even if Carolina loses Saturday. If the

653
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 9: Falcons win these last two games of THEIRS, it'll be

654
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 9: a three way tie for the division lead and Carolina

655
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 9: advances through tiebreaker. Unbelievable, and each of the three teams

656
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 9: would be finishing eight and nine. Carolina at eight and

657
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 9: nine would be the number four seed in the NFC.

658
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 5: Wow, by the way, not just a pick pick six

659
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: unless they said he stepped out of bounds.

660
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 9: And they're looking at this, they are, oh, he went

661
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 9: down the sidelines. He might have stepped out before that,

662
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 9: but yes, there is a flag on top of that.

663
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 9: Of course, so we've got ten minutes to go at

664
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 9: Atlanta twenty four to seventeen the lead.

665
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 11: He clearly stepped out of bounds on the sideline, but

666
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 11: that is.

667
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 9: One touchdown pass, three interceptions, including a first half pick

668
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 9: six for Matthew Stafford and b John Robinson on seventeen carries.

669
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 9: Has one hundred and sixty seven rushing, including the ninety

670
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 9: three yard TD just before the half of the Falcons,

671
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 9: where he hit a top speed of twenty one.

672
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 11: And a quarter miles per hour on that run.

673
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 9: It was the longest rushing TD in the history of

674
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 9: the Atlanta Falcons, his longest run pro or college Matthew

675
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 9: Stafford with the pick six in the first half. That

676
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 9: was the thirty second pick six of his long career,

677
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 9: tying Brett Fahr for most all time. You knew things

678
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 9: were bad when the Rams didn't score a point in

679
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 9: the first quarter against Atlanta. They hadn't been held a

680
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 9: scoreless in a first quarter since back in Week six,

681
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 9: and then to not score a point in the entire

682
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 9: first half, they were down twenty one nothing at the break.

683
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 9: That had only happened two times ever under Sean mcvayh

684
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 9: and one of those was that low scoring Super Bowl

685
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 9: against the Patriots where Bill Belichick completely out coached him.

686
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 9: I will say Pukin Nakua now has become the fastest

687
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 9: player in NFL history to get up to three hundred

688
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 9: career receptions. In only his forty third game. He's up

689
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 9: to three hundred catches. That passes Odell Beckham Junior and

690
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 9: Michael Thomas on that list. On the stat sheet for tonight,

691
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 9: it's just four receptions thirty six yards for Nikua. DeVante

692
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 9: Adams of the Rams out due to the bad Hams.

693
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 9: During running back Blake Korum was out in the first

694
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 9: half with an ankle injury and trying to return. Tackle

695
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 9: Alaric Jackson certainly missed for the Rams with the knee injury.

696
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 9: Atlanta with the ball around midfield up by seven eight

697
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 9: minutes to go in this one, the Chargers will rest

698
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 9: quarterback Justin Herbert this Sunday at Denver. The Raiders say

699
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 9: quarterback Gino Smith, with his ankle injury, is likely out

700
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 9: this weekend against the Chiefs. Kansas City coach Andy Reid

701
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 9: plans to return next season. He turned sixty eight in March.

702
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 9: Another win for the Oklahoma City Thunder twenty eight and

703
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 9: five the record. They won one forty to one twenty

704
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 9: nine over Atlanta. Hawks gard Trey Young was out with

705
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 9: a bruce quad Shay Giljos Alexander thirty nine points. Miami

706
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 9: beat Denver won forty seven to one twenty three as

707
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 9: Nuggets star Nikola Jokic left with a knee injury. At Houston,

708
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 9: Kevin Durant thirty points, or Alpera and Shangoon was out

709
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 9: for the Rockets with a calf injury. Houston beat Indiana one,

710
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 9: twenty six one nineteen Pacers record six and twenty seven

711
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 9: Minnesota one at Chicago one thirty six, one oh one.

712
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 9: Kobe White of the Bulls left with a calf injury

713
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 9: and Josh Giddy left with a hamstring injury. Wins for

714
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 9: Golden State and Toronto, wins for Milwaukee and for Phoenix,

715
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 9: and it's just gone final. The Knicks win one thirty

716
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 9: one thirty to one twenty five at New Orleans in

717
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 9: honor of Jason Smith. We have a Knicks fan on

718
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 9: the show.

719
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 11: There you go, Beck to you.

720
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 6: So that's that standalone Saturday game could be meaningless. That

721
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 6: first game could be meaningless.

722
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 9: No, because the second Atlanta game isn't until Sunday. We

723
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 9: won't find all week until that last Sunday.

724
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: I got.

725
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 5: So the bus can win and be all celibratory. But

726
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 5: then if the Falcons win tonight and then went on Sunday.

727
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 6: That's right, there's it won't matter for the Bikes and

728
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 6: the Falcons play the Saints.

729
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: Oh jeez, oh, all right, well, I guess you can

730
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: say no harm, no foul here a bit for the

731
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Rams, because you went from throwing what looked

732
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 5: like a pick six, but and by the way what

733
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 5: NFL official couldn't see the dude step clearly out of bounds.

734
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I get it, you want to let a

735
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 5: play continue, but I mean Watts was clearly out of

736
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 5: bounds on their play, Like, what are we doing? So

737
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 5: you get the pick six, you get an unsportsmanlike conduct

738
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 5: for the celebration knocks them back out of field goal range.

739
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 5: They go three and out, and now the Falcons have

740
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: to punt it back to the Rams, who will take

741
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 5: over first and ten on their own eleven yard line

742
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 5: was seven twenty eight to go down a touchdown. But,

743
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 5: like de Seger said, three picks tonight for Matt Stafford.

744
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 5: Is it leading you to question the Rams or did

745
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 5: you kind of think they might struggle tonight? I mean,

746
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 5: I'm I'm in a blender of confusion with how sold

747
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 5: I was on the Rams and now I'm freak out

748
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 5: based on what I'm seeing tonight.

749
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 6: No, I mean, look, I'm surprised that they're struggling the

750
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 6: way they are. I mean, let's face it, the Falcons

751
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 6: have not had a remarkable year at all, so I

752
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 6: thought they.

753
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: Were gonna go ahead win this game.

754
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 6: Matter of fact, ninety one percent of the bets in

755
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 6: vecas or on the rams.

756
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 10: Is that?

757
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 4: Think about that for a second, Chris.

758
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 6: Ninety one percent of people betting this game said I

759
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 6: got to take the rams and I'm gonna lady the what.

760
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 4: Was it seven seven and a half.

761
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 6: Some people laid eight points in this one, But you

762
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 6: never go ahead and lay like that with.

763
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 4: A home teams.

764
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 6: So I'm surprised they're struggling like this, but I'm not

765
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 6: surprised that it's close. But the three interceptions, I mean,

766
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 6: he's had games like this before and he's it's just

767
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 6: coming up at a bad moment right now.

768

794
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 5: All right, the Rams trying to move the football. They

795
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 5: trail by a touchdown. Can they get it done? We'll

811
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 5: should be touchdown Beajohn Robinson, but touchdown Rams, Yeah, got

812
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 5: a whole new football game. You tried to take away

813
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 5: added up. You tried to take away his mv P

814
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 5: trophy and he did. Wouldn't give it to you, my friend,

815
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 5: He wouldn't give it to you. That's that doesn't work

816
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 5: as well as off and they didn't ride back. Last

817
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 5: loss for the Falcons after leading by twenty one or

818
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 5: more points in the fourth quarter our twenty one or

819
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 5: more points in the game period was indeed that Super Bowl.

820
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: Game against the New England Paper twenty.

821
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 5: Twenty four all with two forty six to go in

822
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 5: the football game. This is this is wild man, it's

823
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 5: been now, it's it's weird.

824
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 2: We do again.

825
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 5: We do the show on Sunday night, so we have

826
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 5: Sunday Night football going on during the show. So it's

827
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 5: kind of like, I don't want to say we're pros

828
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 5: at doing a show while a game is on the air,

829
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 5: but we're well seasoned at it. Now, you tried to

830
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 5: turn away from this game because you're gonna go watch

831
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 5: your knicks. I can't get away from it for some reason.

832
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 5: I mean, heck, the Rams had a game tying touchdown

833
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 5: wiped off the board with a holding penalty and proceeded

834
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 5: to pick up a first and twenty like it was

835
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 5: no problem at all. Now pukin Aku was losing his

836
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 5: mind on the sidelines. He's catching touchdown passes and with

837
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 5: two forty six to go in the game.

838
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: We got a tie football game. This is crazy.

839
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 6: I saw somebody said that they were like fifty points

840
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 6: ahead in their fantasy championship game and all they have

841
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 6: to do is go against Poka Nakua and it should

842
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 6: be okay for them.

843
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 5: So, oh no, I'm afraid I have some bad news.

844
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins almost threw a pick. I mean the last

845
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 5: two pass attempts that Kirk Cousins has thrown, he has

846
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 5: tried to throw an interception. I mean, there is Jared

847
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 5: Versus eating the right tackle for lunch. The left side

848
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 5: of the defensive line for the Rams is just tearing up.

849
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 5: Who is at turner for the Rams? Just tearing up

850
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 5: the left side of the of the Falcons offensive line.

851
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 5: They're gonna end up winning this game, aren't they. The

852
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 5: Rams are gonna come back and win this game.

853
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're way ahead of me, but you're right. That

854
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 6: ball just kind of fluttered out there. They could have

855
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 6: usually picked that one off. This is Rams are gonna

856
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 6: pull this off. And we all ready you giving the

857
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 6: game to Atlanta.

858
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

859
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 5: Atlanta though, finds their best target, Kyle Pitts for a

860
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 5: first down, so they're staying alive. But nothing has looked

861
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 5: easy so far for Atlanta offensively. And you know, you

862
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 5: have a pick six in this game. You have a

863
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 5: blocked field goal that was taken back for a touchdown.

864
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 5: It's almost as if I'm not trying to open up

865
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 5: a little can of worms here in our final minute

866
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 5: of hour number one.

867
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: But it's almost if Arnie.

868
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 5: The NFL has said, all right, we know there's a

869
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 5: lot of mid games that happened in week seventeen, and

870
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 5: there's not a lot of big time matchups in week eighteen,

871
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 5: So how about some primetime thrillers to wrap up Sunday

872
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 5: and Monday night.

873
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: Right that it's a little gift to us. I consider

874
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: this a present.

875
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 4: It is that it was a good one.

876
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 6: Beca at halftime, I wonder how many people turned off

877
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 6: their TVs.

878
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 4: From this game.

879
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: Well, you tried too in the middle of the show.

880
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 4: I did only because the Knicks and Arizona were playing,

881
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 4: you know.

882
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 5: Come on, well, I'm ready for your live updates on that. Okay,

887
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,400

00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,000
