21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so recapping Dan. If you're the ole miss ad,

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: would you have let Lane kiff It coach the playoff

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: seventy seven percent?

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: Say no, yeah, and keep sing be more than that.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: It should be one hundred.

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: Well, not a hundred. I get that, but I would

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 2: say a good ninety percent. You don't know he can't coach.

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: We don't. We're not gonna let you take a victory

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: lap here. Hey, look at what I did. Now see,

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take some of these coaches in, some of

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 2: these players. No, you don't. You don't think they can

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: win a national championship. That's part of the reason why

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: you're leaving. Go you go, What else do you have?

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: Well, simply will lsu win a national title with Lane

35
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 3: Kiffin at the helm?

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: Yes?

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: Or no?

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: To make the story even juicier, I'm gonna say yes.

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: They probably thought that was Brian Kelly too. I did not.

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: I did not, not even a little bit. No, I

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: did not. No, I'll leave it at that. I didn't

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: have a good feeling when he was going there.

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: What about pre fake Southern accent?

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: Maybe I was more all in with before the fake

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: accent than when I had the fake accent. I went, oh,

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: my goodness, what are we doing here? Haven't Eve won

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: all my games? Do you remember when we dismissed the Dolphins?

48
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: They've won four or five? How about the Texans, they've

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: won four in a row. Maybe the Niners with all

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: those injuries, don't they have nine wins this season? How

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: about the Cowboys? See this is what happens with hot

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: takes where he loved to kick somebody the curb or

53
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: you're going to make this proclamation this guy is this

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: good or this team is this bad. That's what we do.

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: We do that weekend and we count because we can't

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: let something just percolate a little bit. Everything's on the

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: front burner. Sometimes it should be on the back burner.

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: It's going to take a little while before this is done.

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 2: But the Texans have a great defense. Texans in Seattle,

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: those defenses, man, are they great? Now? Can you get

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: some offense? That's really the key. And you're seeing that

62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: Seattle has the second best Super Bowl odds right now,

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: and I think that would surprise some people. But granted,

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: they beat up on an undrafted free agent quarterback and

65
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Max Brosmer. He threw four interceptions, including a pick six,

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: But Seattle is really good and in that ballpark, that stadium,

67
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: they are dangerous, yes, Paul.

68
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: And you can also I always do this at grade

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 5: teams by point differential. The Seahawks have outscored their opponents

70
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 5: by one hundred and thirty three points this season. Tampa

71
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 5: Bay's in first place, there's seven to five. They've been

72
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 5: out scored by twenty two points. The Bears had the

73
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: same record as the Seahawks. They've only outscored the oppontents

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: by six points. It's almost like not a strength to schedule,

75
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: but almost like a power ranking with the point differential.

76
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: This is the first time in NFL history five division

77
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: races either tied or within a half game through Week

78
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: thirteen of a season. Also, this happens every single year.

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: There are eight teams who are five hundred or better

80
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: that missed the playoffs in the previous year. Patriots, Seahawks, Bears, Niners, Jags, Colts, Cowboys,

81
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: and the Panthers. And the Panthers got my attention because

82
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: I watched a lot of that game and I thought,

83
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: all right, Matthew Stafford, you're going to add to those

84
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: touchdown totals, and then all of a sudden, that's a

85
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: pick six, and I thought, uh, oh, Carolina is not

86
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: going to go quietly here and give them credit. And

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: Bryce Young played really well, and yes, I know I

88
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: might have to eat my words. I like Rice Young.

89
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: I just don't know if he's a franchise quarterback. But

90
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: when he needed to, he did it. Carolina is now

91
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: seven and six, their best record through Week thirteen since

92
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. Also, oh, and I was probably critiquing the

93
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: trade itself because they gave up an awful lot to

94
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: be able to draft him number one. And Caleb Williams

95
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: has played well and a lot of times, you know,

96
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: quarterbacks are measured against each other, especially if they're in

97
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: the same draft. But you know these comebacks here, that's

98
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: eleven that he's had. That's the most in NFL history

99
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: for somebody his age, and going toe to tow against

100
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: the Rams team that can win the Super Bowl, that's very,

101
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: very impressive. All right, So we have a new poll

102
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: question for hour two. Bill Cowher will join us more

103
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: of your phone calls as well. Lane Kiffin being introduced

104
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: today at LSU, and I spend a lot of time

105
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: in the first hour talking about this situation. College football

106
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: has an issue here and it feels like college football

107
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: always has an issue. You know where the transfer portal

108
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: and NIL coaches can go, they can go during the season.

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: College football needs to have a commissioner. Greg Sank needs

110
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: to say, let me oversee this so we don't continue

111
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: to do stupid things. And that's really what's happening here.

112
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: You got to have somebody in charge who's going to say,

113
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: here's our transfer portal, here's the money with NIL, here's

114
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: the collectives, here's when a coach can talk to another school.

115
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: No coaches can leave during the season. I mean, these

116
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: are things that need to be cleaned up. It's not

117
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: just Lane Kiffin. He's just the latest, and there'll be

118
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: somebody else, and then somebody else and somebody else. But

119
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: college football. You want to expand the playoffs so that

120
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: means more coaches who are maybe in the playoffs could

121
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: be leaving for another school. North Texas is playing two

122
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: Lane this next weekend. Both coaches already gone to new schools.

123
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin was going to host a playoff game and

124
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: he's going downsu crazy. And that's why when all I

125
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: keep hearing about the last couple of years, all the

126
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: kids are ruining. No they're not.

127
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: No, they're not. The grown ups are ruining it. Yeah,

128
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: and we've said this one hundred times. If there was

129
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 5: a commissioner of college football, he wouldn't let Alabama play

130
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: Wofford on November twelfth.

131
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 6: It wouldn't happen. Those games.

132
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: You know, they don't happen all the time, but that

133
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 5: would never be allowed to happen. Scheduling person.

134
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: So college football. You know, Texas may not make the playoffs,

135
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: but Texas is on my short list if you don't

136
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: want to play Texas, and this should be the goal

137
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: of the college football Playoff Committee. I want the best

138
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: teams that I can put in there. Now some are

139
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: automatic qualifiers, but these other teams, the at large, Texas

140
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: is really good right now, and I can't. Let's say

141
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: they didn't play Ohio State to start the season. Let's

142
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: say Texas had two losses. Do we look at Texas

143
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: differently and the answer is yes, Oh, they got three losses.

144
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: Nobody gets into the playoffs with three losses. Who are

145
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: the better teams? Notre Dame don't want to play them,

146
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: but they're going to get in. Virginia might get in.

147
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: North Texas might get in. I know We love the

148
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: participation trophies where when you won your conference, so come

149
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: on in and you won your conference. I want you

150
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: to be the best teams. And I don't know if

151
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: we always get that, but I hope we're getting better

152
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: at getting the right twelve teams in there because that's

153
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: what we want. I mean, I love honoring somebody who

154
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: had a really good season, but if we're playing for

155
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: the national championship, I gotta have the twelve best teams.

156
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: And do I think Texas is one of those teams? Yes?

157
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: I do. Yeah.

158
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 5: Pulling the Miami Notre Dame thing is really interesting. Miami's

159
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 5: won four in a row. Their two losses are to

160
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: SMU and Louisville. Those aren't great, but they only lost

161
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 5: them by a total like eight points. It feels like

162
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 5: Miami's gonna get host.

163
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can't punish Notre Dame. They played Miami

164
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: at Miami and they lost to A and M on

165
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: a last second total down. That's a really good team. Now,

166
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: granted they played Stanford, but that's a really good team.

167
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 7: Yes, Marvin, this might be recncy mice because of how

168
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 7: Miami's performed the past maybe fifteen years. If this was

169
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 7: two thousand and one. Miami's not getting hosts, correct.

170
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not. No, but they're not anywhere near that

171
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: kind of team. Oh no, no, I know.

172
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 7: I'm just talking about the reputation of the U in

173
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five as opposed to the late nineers or

174
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 7: even early aughts.

175
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: But Texas is a really good team and to beat

176
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: A and M and Arch looked really good. He didn't

177
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: look good started the year. He looked a little bit overwhelmed,

178
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: but he has played extremely well. Did talk to an

179
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: NFL source who said Arch Manning would be the number

180
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: one pick in the draft if he was coming out now,

181
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: I can't, but he would be the number one pick. Well,

182
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: he can after this year, right, He would be junior

183
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 2: eligible if you wanted to.

184
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

185
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, So my source said, I think he would be

186
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: the number one pick in the draft. Do I think

187
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: he's a great quarterback?

188
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 6: No? Do.

189
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: I think the name and sort of the potential and

190
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: there's no great quarterback in this draft when you think

191
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: about it now, we thought it was. We thought that,

192
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: oh man, this is a quarterback. Rich Mendoz is really good.

193
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 6: But I didn't.

194
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: My source said, there's nothing that jumps out at you.

195
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: But that that's not a bad thing. It's that he

196
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: doesn't have a weakness. He just may not have that.

197
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, look how great he is. So uh

198
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: but Archie will probably stay for another year. Yeah, Paul,

199
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: it's so so tough.

200
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: I don't want to push the arch Manning narrative because

201
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: there's been no information to say he's going out. The

202
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: New Orleans Saints right now have the second pick of

203
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 5: the draft. The Titans have the first pick, and you

204
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 5: would think that they're not taking a quarterback. But man,

205
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 5: can you image if Neworleans is sitting there at two unlikely?

206
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: Well, you know, and he wouldn't beat out Shudoor Sanders

207
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: with the Browns of course if he went there. Just joking, Yeah,

208
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm just joking. Just add a little levity there to

209
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: the Shoudore Sanders situation. Uh, not a good not a

210
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: good day for him or the Cleveland Browns. Yes, Paul,

211
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: I want to go back to that. If arch Manning

212
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: was eligible in this draft, the Tentacles he is. I'm sorry.

213
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 5: If he was out for this draft, he was, he

214
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 5: was including this draft. You got the Tennessee Titans who

215
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 5: would love to have a Manning on their roster. You

216
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 5: have the New Orleans Saints, which seems like destiny. Then

217
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: the Giants right now have the third pick. I know

218
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 5: they have Jackson Dart so they're not doing it, man,

219
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 5: they would have wanted to. Then it goes Vegas Cleveland

220
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 5: and the Jets have the seventh pick.

221
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, oh man, there's some teams that you know

222
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: need quarterbacks there. But I don't know, you know, you're

223
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: trying to figure all of this out and uh, but

224
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: what you're seeing with Arch Manning is it's a nice

225
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: little comeback for him. I think sometimes, you know, once again,

226
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: we watched him in September and he didn't look good,

227
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you forget about him.

228
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden you watch the A

229
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: and M game and you go, okay, I mean got

230
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: to acknowledge he wasn't going to you know, take the

231
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: easy pass and you know, be in the hov lane

232
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: right to the Heisman. But I think he is, he's done.

233
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: He's done well in this comeback here. Yes, yes, Tom,

234
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: But you always.

235
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: Say in terms of the draft, you know you get

236
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: don't get a quarterback, get your quarterback. If you're not

237
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: in love with the guy. If that's not your guy,

238
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 4: look at another position. Just to pick someone just to

239
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: check the QB box as a detriment.

240
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: Well, we have that every year. It feels like, you know,

241
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: somebody will go all right, let's take that quarterback. Let's

242
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: go up and get that quarterback. Now they are trying

243
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 2: to get their quarterback. I just think sometimes you reach.

244
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: The quarterback should be there that you can't pass up,

245
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: you know, like Atlanta, I just didn't. It felt like

246
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: a reach since you spent all that money on Kirk Cousins,

247
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: and I don't Michael Pennix could turn out to be

248
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: the next Steve Young. But I've seen too many teams

249
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: take a quarterback because well we got to go get one,

250
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: and you're right, some aren't. I mean, we thought Shudoor

251
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: Sanders was a top three pick. Right in the draft.

252
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: Dion was saying, hey, you know, I'm telling these teams

253
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: DoD draft him a week before. It's like, oh, man

254
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: shouldor it's gonna go first round, of course, and then

255
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the scouts get to look at him,

256
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: they do their interviews, they do their due diligence, and

257
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: then but we created we the media, it's like, man,

258
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: he's awesome, and then when he drops to the fifth round,

259
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: we're like, what's wrong with him? Okay, we overinflated him

260
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: because we got caught up in Shador Sanders in the name,

261
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: and maybe he turns out to be a good quarterback.

262
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm glad that he's getting a couple of starts here

263
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: because be fair to him and Dylan Gabriel, because if

264
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: you move on and get another quarterback, at least you've

265
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: given them the opportunity.

266
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 7: Yes, Marvin, do you think Archman he might turn into

267
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 7: a Shadoor situation from the fact of all right, we'll

268
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 7: get him be because of the name and because of

269
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 7: who's related to. But he might not be as good

270
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 7: as we think he is. But he's a great story

271
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 7: and he's gonna lead Sports Center in every other show.

272
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want that. I don't want a great

273
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: story or a covered story because I do think that

274
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: this will come back and hurt Shador Sanders, that he

275
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: might be viewed as a Tim Tebow kind of quarterback

276
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: that he's either starting or you can't have him on

277
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: your roster because he's gonna get so much attention here.

278
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mark, But that happened with Quinn yours in Ars Manning. Well,

279
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 7: is Arch gonna get in the game? So that might

280
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 7: be the same situation because and it's not there for Well,

281
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 7: it's not Arch's fault. Arch is just trying to be

282
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 7: out there and be a good teammate and play. But

283
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 7: because of his last name, the cam, the camera's gonna

284
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 7: be on him no matter what.

285
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: It's our fault. We're the ones who do this. Everybody

286
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: clamoring for Shadoor Sanders, when's he gonna get in?

287
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 6: Huh?

288
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: Can I get is he gonna Does he get the game?

289
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 6: Ball?

290
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: I mean, why didn't you get the game? He didn't

291
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: get the first first rount, first team raps? Like what's

292
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: going on here? So we're the ones that create this, Yes, Paul, I.

293
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 5: Think that the NFL teams will look at Arch Manning

294
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: not for his upside before his lack of downside, like

295
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 5: he is a safe pick. It's hard to picture a

296
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: Manning quarterback not working out to some level, almost like

297
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: remember when Chris Long was the number one pick of

298
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: the draft out of Virginia and that was a draft

299
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 5: that didn't have an alpha dog, a clowny type player,

300
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 5: and I think they took Chris long because of his

301
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: family lineage, and they said, well, he'll be good for

302
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 5: a long time, and it's a very safe pick.

303
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a break. I got Bill

304
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: Kauer set to join us coming up. Yes, Marvin, don't

305
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: make coach angry this time. I think he likes getting

306
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: fired up.

307
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 8: I do.

308
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,400

Speaker 2: Hall of Fame coach Bill Cower NFL Today on CBS

329
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: Studio analyst. You grew up in the Pittsburgh area, But

330
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: I was curious about the added pressure of coaching your

331
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: team that you grew up with not wanting you know,

332
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: so there's enough pressure there, but now you're going to

333
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: coach the Steelers. How much added pressure was there with

334
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: that job title?

335
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I think when I first got the job,

336
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 6: I told you, damn. I first thought when I went

337
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 6: back to Kansas City after I was offered a job,

338
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 6: and I laid in bed that first night and I said, Wow,

339
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 6: if I don't screw this up, I can go back

340
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 6: to my twentieth high school class reunion as the head

341
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 6: coaching company. So my first goal was not to get

342
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 6: fired in those first three years. The pointing back there

343
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 6: through the course of that time and just seeing what

344
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 6: Chuck had done with that team and how that the

345
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: renaissance of the seventies uplifted that whole city. It was

346
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 6: almost a responsibility I had, but it's also like a

347
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 6: connection that you had with the people that were there.

348
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 6: And you know, I identified with the heart, the lunch pale,

349
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 6: hard working people, the blue collar element of it. I

350
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 6: worked in steel mills. I always had a summertime job

351
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 6: in Pittsburgh, so I understood what they were looking for.

352
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 6: They're very passionate fans, very knowledgeable fans about football, and

353
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 6: so through the course of time, it was more of

354
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 6: a responsibility. I felt like I had to represent that city.

355
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: What do you make of the fire Mike Tomlin chance

356
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: that we heard yesterday towards the tail end of that performance.

357
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, like I said, they're very passionate fans,

358
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 6: and you know, and I think it's you know, listen

359
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 6: where they are right now. They're six and six. They've

360
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 6: not played very good football these last you know what,

361
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 6: two and five in the last seven games. So it's

362
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 6: it's a scenario. But the fact of the matter is,

363
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 6: we know, with five games ago, they still have a

364
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 6: chance to win their division. They're not trending in the

365
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 6: right way I thought, I think on either side of

366
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 6: the ball, and going up against Baltimore Ravens, now they

367
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 6: got them two more times, they got still played the

368
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 6: Detroit Lions, the Cleveland Browns, and Elison still got played

369
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 6: to Miami Dolphin. So we'll see what happens. Think again,

370
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 6: you know, the results will speak for themselves. But I

371
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 6: think from Mike's standpoint, I know one thing. He's not

372
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 6: gonna let the outside noise influence or how he's going

373
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 6: to change his approach to this next game. He knows

374
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 6: it's a lot on stake. They're not playing great football

375
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 6: right now. He's got to find a way to rally

376
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 6: that group and get them to believe that they still

377
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 6: have a chance to win this division.

378
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 2: Did you get fire chance when you were there in Pittsburgh.

379
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 6: Ilder, I got a fire chance, But I think that

380
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 6: I was. You know, there were some people that when

381
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 6: you when you had to lose a year and you

382
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 6: walk past them, people start to whisper before they say, hey, coach,

383
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 6: great to see him. When they start, when they start whispering, Dan,

384
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 6: you know, it's probably not a good thing. So when

385
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 6: you walk by and people are whispering, that's probably a

386
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 6: good sign if things are not going that well. When

387
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 6: they walk by and it's going well, they going hey coach,

388
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 6: great job, good luck, Hey love what you're doing. Hey

389
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 6: might want to throw the ball a little bit more. Okay, gotcha.

390
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 6: You know you're right on. So I got to the point, actually,

391
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 6: I said, you know, my point is when we won,

392
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 6: I had no problems stopping the way home from gas

393
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 6: getting gas. When we lost, I waited till I kept

394
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 6: the night was dark. It was by ten thirty eleven.

395
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 6: That was yes, And I didn't want to hear about it. Honestly,

396
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 6: in the morning on the way to work, Like you know,

397
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 6: I didn't want to hear about anyone because they would

398
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 6: Everybody would pull up right next to me. They would

399
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 6: be act like they're pulling up their their their gas

400
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 6: tank was absolutely full. They wou't even put the nozzle in.

401
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 6: They would stand there in front of their cars and

402
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 6: tell me everything that I should be doing. We're not

403
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 6: running the football enough. You're too conservative. You like we

404
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 6: have nobody's rushing the quarterback, and like you need to

405
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 6: make some changes on that team and even with their

406
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 6: coaching staff. Now that we go yes, yes, yes, and yes,

407
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 6: you're probably right, I need to reevaluate.

408
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: What kind of job offers or feelers did you get

409
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: when you were with the Steelers. How often does that

410
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: happen on an NFL level.

411
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 6: Oh, I I never even entertained. I don't think it doesn't.

412
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 6: It doesn't happen at all. I think once you're with

413
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 6: when you're with a team, like you're trying, you're just

414
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 6: trying to win year to year. You know, my my,

415
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 6: my fear of failure far exceeded my desire to win.

416
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 6: I did not want to fail and get fired. I

417
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 6: mean I that was always over top of my head.

418
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 6: And I just knew results oriented business and if you

419
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 6: didn't produce, you're gonna be asked to move on because

420
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 6: that's just the nature of that profession. So I understood

421
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 6: that getting into that profession. But you know, you never

422
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 6: think about the next job, at least I didn't from

423
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 6: my standpoint. I again, I've been in one place for

424
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 6: a long period of time, Dan, I was in Pittsburgh

425
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 6: for fifteen years. I've been in the CBS for nineteen years.

426
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 6: I'm not the kind of guy that's looking for the

427
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 6: grassby and greener. On the other side, I like to

428
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 6: be appreciated. And if I appreciated you and get the

429
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 6: very best of me, and you know what, I appreciate

430
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 6: being able to go to work well. I am appreciated, but.

431
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 2: It's standard procedure in college football. Now, why is.

432
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 6: That, I don't know, I go back. I think it's

433
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 6: I think it's the lack of structure that the NCAAA

434
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 6: has right now in terms of these timetables, in terms

435
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 6: of the pool, the transfer a portal that takes place,

436
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 6: allowing coaches to leave before they're an end of their

437
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 6: contracts to go to other places. It doesn't happen in

438
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 6: the NFL. There's a very there's a very discipline structure

439
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 6: that we have, there's a salary cap, there is a

440
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 6: time from free agency that happens afterwards. You know, head

441
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 6: coaches aren't going to be able to go from one

442
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 6: team to another because you're not even talking to another team. Now,

443
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 6: the biggest thing in the NFL to me, the problem

444
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 6: that you have, if you indeed it is, and I

445
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 6: didn't think it was, was your assistance because at the

446
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 6: end of the season and you're in the playoffs, the

447
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 6: assistants have an opportunity to talk to other teams. But

448
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 6: I always looked at that as a feather in your cap.

449
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 6: And I always thought to him because I know when

450
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 6: I was getting an interviewed at times that you know what,

451
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 6: my resume is being put on that table with that

452
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 6: playoff game. So I was more inspired to do well

453
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 6: in that playoff game as opposed to thinking about putting

454
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 6: your staff together, thinking about you know what you're going

455
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 6: to do and your mind isn't on the game. I

456
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 6: don't think that's the case. So I don't think think

457
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 6: we have that in the National Football League. I think

458
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 6: the NCAA is really it's the wild, wild West. I've

459
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 6: said that out there. I said it yesterday, went on

460
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 6: a little bit of a rant. It's just a problem

461
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 6: for me is that the people that get lost in

462
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 6: this are the are the players and the message we're

463
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 6: sending to them, the lack of trust that they're going

464
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 6: to start having it in our institutions, in our systems,

465
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 6: because you know what, that's what we're going to lose

466
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 6: if you're telling them one thing and you're doing another thing.

467
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 6: And any other part of that is the entitlement that

468
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 6: we now are doing with young players. When a quarterback

469
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 6: is making four million dollars a year and the alignments

470
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 6: up there has got a four year scholarship is getting

471
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 6: paid nothing. Okay, but because you know what one percent

472
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 6: of the people in college are going to play pro

473
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 6: teaching life lessons about what business is like, what going

474
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 6: into the next level of life is about responsibility, having

475
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 6: a job, working for someone and having the fs mAbs

476
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 6: to a boss and work your way up the ladder.

477
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 6: You know, sometimes you're not gonna get entitled to something

478
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 6: because you think you decide a part of it. You

479
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 6: may have to work for a long period of time

480
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 6: to get that opportunity. There's nothing wrong with a good

481
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 6: work ethic, a degree of saying, you know what, I'm

482
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 6: going to compete for whatever I need to compete for,

483
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 6: because you know what, that will serve you better in

484
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 6: wife than being entitled and been handed something that really

485
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 6: to me is they're too young to be given that

486
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 6: kind of money.

487
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: If you were the old miss athletic director and Lane

488
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: Kiffin said to you, hey, I want to coach this

489
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 2: team in the playoffs, you would have said.

490
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 6: You decided to go to LSU, thank you and goodbye.

491
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 6: What Let you come here. Let you come here for

492
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 6: the next month and talk about how great LSU is

493
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 6: over Mississippi. You kid me, seriously, to even ask for

494
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 6: that question is like, that's an arrogance. You know, that's arrogance.

495
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 6: I think what happened there is a disgrace to the

496
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 6: coaching profession because I would just say this, the coaching

497
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 6: professions by developing young men. It's not about chasing the

498
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 6: green or grass somewhere else. It'd be an angulance chaser

499
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 6: and go, oh, I can fix you, and then when

500
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 6: you fix that, let me go here and fix that.

501
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 6: It's about developing young men. It's about trying to create tradition,

502
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 6: pageantry for the institution that you work for. We had

503
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 6: robbery weekend. We just came off of what's a robbery anymore?

504
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 6: What's the conference anymore? I'm telling you we're losing some

505
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 6: of the very core fiber of things that we have

506
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 6: grown up loving about college football, and we're watching it

507
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 6: to tier right right before our eyes.

508
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: Talking to Bill Cower, the Hall of Famer and Super

509
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: Bowl champ with the Steelers. You know some of these

510
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: teams we rode off back in September, maybe in October,

511
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: like the Texans, the Dolphins, the Niners with their injuries.

512
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 6: How about the Cowboys.

513
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean they're dangerous. I don't know

514
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: if they have enough time, but you know, you beat

515
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and the Eagles over a span of four days,

516
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: you have to get everybody's attention there, coach, I would.

517
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 6: Think so the job that Brian Shotenheimer has done through

518
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 6: the course of everything that they've dealt with down there,

519
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 6: you know, and hey, I would love to see the

520
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 6: Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs, okay,

521
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 6: because I want to know for once and farm because

522
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 6: they met once and it was a time who was right,

523
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 6: Micah Parsons or Jerry Jones? So to get me into

524
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 6: the playoffs where we can't end this thing in a time?

525
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: Do you think they both won? I do?

526
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 6: I do? I think? You know, we sat there and

527
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 6: criticized Jerry all this time for what he did, but

528
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 6: I think going on getting Quentinn Williams, Overshawn came back,

529
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 6: you know, and and Wilson came in, and all of

530
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 6: a sudden, now these last three games, this defense has

531
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 6: taken on a different identity. Matt Eberflus say, Jerry stayed

532
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 6: with him, Brian has stayed with him. I think Brian

533
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 6: has called an amazing offensive games weekend and week out.

534
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 6: The offense is playing at a very high level. I

535
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 6: think they're playing with a lot of confidence. And I

536
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 6: think the question is, as you stated, Dan, is that

537
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 6: today dig themselves too big of a hole. I don't know,

538
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 6: but I know there's still five games left for these

539
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 6: guys and anything can happen, because I think that it's

540
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: really shrunk right now. The National Football League, their parody

541
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 6: has never been greater. Every team that you think is

542
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 6: on top. We saw the Rams get beat by Carolina.

543
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 6: We saw last night the Denver Broncos get taken to

544
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 6: overtime by the Washington Commanders, and who knows what's gonna

545
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 6: happen to night with New England and the New York Giants.

546
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 6: So I think the NFL was in a tremendous place

547
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 6: from the standpoint that it's going to go down to

548
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 6: the final weeks, and I think for the first time

549
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 6: we may have a seventh seed and maybe two seven

550
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 6: seeds that could win in the wildcard round.

551
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: Was it tough as a coach tougher to understand your

552
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: quarterback or the wide receivers that you.

553
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 6: Had, they go, they go hand in hand. I think

554
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 6: the wide receivers, you know, I think the quarterback is

555
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 6: going to touch the ball every game, every play. The

556
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 6: wide receivers you got kind of like you got to

557
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 6: massage them a little bit because you want them to

558
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 6: block for you, You want them to do the dirty work,

559
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 6: but you better give them the ball a little bit too.

560
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 6: So like trying to be able to keep people happy

561
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 6: is like the job that I think of a coordinator

562
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 6: to duke and the guy involved early for the quarterback

563
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 6: to do to make sure he can massage all the

564
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 6: egos that's in there in that huddle that he's got

565
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 6: because a lot everybody wants to have the ball at

566
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 6: the end of the game, and really the only one

567
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 6: that's gonna have the ball to begin every play is

568
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 6: going to be that is going to be that uh

569
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 6: that that quarterback. So I just think the quarterback is

570
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 6: becomes a reflection of the head coach at some point,

571
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 6: and I.

572
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: Think, Ben, are your wide receivers, Well.

573
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 6: I didn't let the wide receiver they didn't bother. Ben

574
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 6: drove me crazier because I hated me because he had

575
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 6: to be a reflection of me. Dan. So that's what

576
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 6: I'm saying. I didn't worry about I didn't worry about

577
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 6: the wide receivers like they're gonna they're gonna be mad,

578
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 6: they're gonna they're gonna say all these things. That's fine,

579
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 6: I get it. They know they want the ball, they

580
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 6: want it for all the right reasons. But the quarterback like,

581
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 6: you guys, you gotta think like me, that like and

582
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 6: so it's like that's the one and at times I

583
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 6: gotta let them be them too. So I said to

584
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 6: a fine line, a give and take, you know, And

585
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 6: that's so, that's that's the guy that's gotta be reflecting you.

586
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 6: I think there's no great example that. And you're seeing

587
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 6: bow Nicks and Sean Payton. I think they they are

588
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 6: working hand in hand, and Sean appreciates bo and but

589
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 6: I'm sure Sean wants to stay on bow to try

590
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 6: to get him to be able to be that you know,

591
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 6: toughling guy that's gonna be really good in the tough situations.

592
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 6: And so it's, uh, it's kind of fun to watch

593
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 6: these young quarterbacks evolve with these with the with their coaches.

594
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: I thought it was funny you told the story where

595
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: Ben acted look like he couldn't hear you when you

596
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: were calling you.

597
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 6: Play Yeah, yeah, yeah. He starts bounding, he starts and

598
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 6: I'm thinking, you know, I know he can hear it.

599
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 6: I know he can hear us. So I said, grab that,

600
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 6: and he goes. I said grab that helmets soon as

601
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 6: he comes off that field, and they grab. He says

602
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 6: if they go, it's working now. And I go, Ben,

603
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 6: it's working. He goes, I must have just back on.

604
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Well, he was good enough that he could still do that.

605
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, he would like he would. We would have

606
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 6: the banter back and forth, and it was respectful banters.

607
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 6: He'd always knew where I stood, and I always appreciated

608
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 6: where he was at. Didn't always agree with it at times,

609
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 6: but you know what, you earned the right to have

610
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 6: that ability, to have that input, to have that respect.

611
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 6: The one thing I knew about Ben Roethlisberger that when

612
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 6: the game was on the line and it was in

613
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, he wanted to bow in his hands.

614
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 6: And you know what, there was probably no other player

615
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 6: that I would have wanted to have the ball in

616
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 6: hands than him.

617
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: When was the last time you didn't have a mustache? Ah?

618
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 6: Good question, You know I shaved it. I ship went

619
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 6: down the boat Head Island one time, like my fourth year,

620
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 6: and I said, you know what, everyone's recognizing me down here.

621
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 6: So I shaved it, and I'm telling you, it was

622
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 6: the best thing in the world. I'd be walking by

623
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 6: and they're like, you know, I mean hey, like you go, hey, hey,

624
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 6: you know the coach cowers on this on this on

625
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 6: this island. I go, really, where's he at? So it was,

626
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 6: you know, So it was. It was. It's been a while,

627
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 6: it's been a while. It's not a good looks it's

628
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 6: for me right now. It's just it's not a good look.

629
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: But did you did you have bust approval for the

630
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame for your mustache?

631
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 6: Yeah? I wow. That wasn't even an option. I mean,

632
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 6: it had had had to be that, because how would.

633
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: You even take show it to you before?

634
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 6: Yes, there was that, and then they kind of excepted,

635
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 6: you know. I think they sentuated the chin a little bit.

636
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 6: I don't think it's that bad, but they.

637
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 8: Which was.

638
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 6: I don't know if I agree with that that portrait

639
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 6: of it, but that's fine.

640
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: Did your wife have a say in this?

641
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think when I shaved it, the first thing

642
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 6: she said, please don't shave again. So so, in other words,

643
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 6: how long is it going to take the grow back?

644
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 6: So I think that got That was my first sign

645
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 6: that you know what, Okay, maybe it's not a good luck.

646
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: It's not leaving, not leaving great to talk to you.

647
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: And we played nice today at that.

648
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 6: I know, I know you know, well, you know what

649
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 6: I think coming off coming off the what happened yesterday.

650
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 6: But let me ask you, did you have a nice Thanksgiving?

651
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: It's still going on, coach, It's not a day. It's

652
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: really a spirit that I have.

653
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, so let me ask you what do you

654
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 6: think was the best game? What do you think was

655
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 6: the best game with Thanksgiving weekend? With with the NFL

656
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 6: Green Bay, Detroit, Dallas, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Joe Burrow, Baltimore

657
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 6: or Eagles and Bears.

658
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: I would say Dallas and Kansas City because that's that

659
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: that's a heavyweight fight and you know the hype involved

660
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: with that and it lived up to it, and Dallas

661
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: winning that game I thought made for great content. I

662
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: think Joe Burrow coming back and doing what he did

663
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: against the Ravens, that's pretty big. And now you got

664
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: Steelers and the Ravens coming up this next weekend.

665
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 6: Can you imagine if the four and eight Bengals get

666
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 6: Joe burrowed back. They can still win the division. They

667
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 6: really can't. Yeah, now you got to go to Buffalo

668
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 6: this next week, so we'll see. The NFL has never

669
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 6: been so much intrigued, so many storylines. It's never been better.

670
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 6: So let's let's talk again in about a month and

671
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 6: see who's doing it.

672
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I'll make it a date.

673
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 6: Okay, that sounds good. Well, I'm glad you keep the

674
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 6: spirit going because you were really good today. You didn't

675
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 6: even like you're even like you were actually trying to

676
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 6: get me, asked some really good questions. It was really good. Yeah.

677
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna do that. I was gonna be nice.

678
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: I was gonna play nice. But I can't guarantee in

679
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 2: a month from now.

680
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 6: No, I expect that I never come on with the

681
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 6: expectation of you being nice. I prepare myself in the mornings.

682
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: I'll bet you do. You psych yourself up to come on.

683
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: Stare at yourself in the mirror.

684
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 6: I look like I look at you like like like

685
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 6: a like a divisional opponent. I make it personal.

686
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: Would you want to hit me, like tackle me?

687
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 6: No? No, I respect.

688
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: You, No, I got a arm shiver.

689

Speaker 6: like I I most of the time, I would. I

Speaker 4: M twenty seven to seventeen.

721
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:43,600

722
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 4: Worst at home in the Big House on Saturday, Michigan

723
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: can only muster three field goals in the first half,

724
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,600

725
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 4: rival Ohio State twenty seven to nine.

726
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: Were you able to watch sports when you were in Amsterdam?

727
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 4: I was not. We were doing a lot of sight

728
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 4: seeing stuff. In the time difference was all wacky because

729
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 4: games were being played like all hours of the night,

730
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 4: middle of the night. So I was following it, you know,

731
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 4: through stories and columns and websites. I did watch the

732
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: Bronco game from the Philadelphia airports and on the plane.

733
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: Okay, what was the highlight of Copenhagen.

734
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 4: The highlight of Copenhagen was the Rix Museum. If I'm

735
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 4: pronouncing that right, It's like I'm not actually in Amsterdam.

736
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 6: It was the Rix Museum. We went to the Anne

737
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 6: Frank House.

738
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 4: So we went to this adorable little town that had

739
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: a bunch of windmills that you can climb in and

740
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 4: look how they make wooden shoes.

741
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 6: Took a quick peek at.

742
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 4: The red light district, but I was with my wife

743
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: and daughter, so I was very very quick.

744
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 6: Awkward peak.

745
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 4: So we just kept the line moving just to check

746
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 4: the box that we saw the red light district and

747
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 4: did you wave?

748
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: Did you wave to anybody?

749
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 4: I took an extended glance, and then I got pulled

750
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 4: by my daughter saying that that's not nice what you're

751
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 4: doing with your wife. My mom's standing here. And then

752
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 4: we just went about our business. But nice dinners. The

753
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 4: hard Rock Cafe had a Thanksgiving dinner thing, so.

754
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: That's what we spent.

755
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 5: That was only's the most fritzy thing ever, hard Rocket awesome.

756
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: And it was it was really quickly.

757
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: We went on a boat ride down the canals and uh,

758
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: just a lot of wonderful sight, saying, very interesting, quaint town, very.

765
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,200

00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 3: it up to the nerds.

767
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 2: To figure out. Okay, uh and my worst.

Speaker 7: says to all time record for rushing teas by a

776
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 7: quarterback with seventy six passing Cam Newton. He's probably gonna

778
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,759

782
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 5: that's why he's such a popular player. Is that he

783
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 5: didn't have to play. There's not a lot to play for,

784
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 5: and just it's great for him, It's great for his

785
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 5: team and his image. The other best of the weekend,

Speaker 5: Yale Bulldogs were down big at halftime thirty five seven

788
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 5: to Youngstown State. Then the Penguins park it up a

789
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 5: little bit. Yale scores forty three forty two.

790
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,560

Speaker 9: Bill's winning this weekend, and the worst and the worst

796
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 9: are is obviously the lin kiff and saga and the

797
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 9: dichotomy of that with what I witnessed at the game

798
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 9: last night in Pittsburgh. My wife on Bills fan, But

799
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 9: I'm kind of ambivalent towards the Steelers, but it really

800
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 9: is sad where it's gone here and hearing that chant,

801
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 9: you know, whether Sam that's or infamous, we all know

802
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 9: owners in the NFL. One name that is off the

803
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 9: lips of everybody out of respect is the Ruoneys. And

804
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 9: when you start hearing this town with the fire time

805
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 9: with chance and then questioning the Rooneys, you know, I

806
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 9: just it's it's it's a sad site for even a

807
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 9: Bill santasy.

808
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,879

809
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 2: want a winner, they want a playoff team. They're so

810
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: used to this. Yeah, I want something new, as if

811
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 2: you know, somebody else coming in is going to change

812
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 2: the fortunes of the Steelers. But local narrative, national narrative

813
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: feel different with Mike Tomlin. But those chants yesterday, Wow,

814
