I joke at 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: the beginning that I've talked about the gambling gold Russian 56 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: sports since I was writing for The Big Lead like 57 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: five years ago. Gambling gold rush, It's coming in sports. 58 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: If you're not on gambling, you guys, remember at the 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: Big Lead I did an NFL gambling picks against Alreadie 60 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: Lange in like I don't know, twelve maybe it was 61 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: like to no, no, it was like two thousand nine. 62 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: It was way back back when he was on the 63 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: Howard Stern Show, right before his many meltdowns. And you know, 64 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: I knew a guy who represented already and you know, 65 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: already would send his picks to him and um, you 66 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: know I was a huge already length fan, um and 67 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: he was doing you know, just we would just pick 68 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: against each other basically in NFL. But this was wait, 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: this was over a decade ago, and you know now 70 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: it's like everybody's talking gambling now. Some of us have 71 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: been doing it for a while. I think I I've 72 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: told you guys about my first Vegas trip. My mom 73 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: had worked for a hotel chain and you know, you 74 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: get all these hookups and discounts. So we got one 75 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: and they happened to have a nice place in Vegas. 76 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: So me and Buddy went out there. I think it 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: was junior year, and you know we it was. It 78 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: was awesome, you know, my first trip to Vegas, and 79 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: the gambling was incredible. The sports books weren't as huge 80 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: of a deal. This was like over twenty years ago, 81 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: but I know we played a lot Roulette. Obviously, young 82 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: guy playing dumb games like Roulette and the card games. 83 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: It was awesome. And gambling has kind of been in 84 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: my wheelhouse ever since. And I remember gambling on games, 85 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: uh as as soon as the internet came out, you know, 86 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: you could gamble online and you know, you find a 87 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: local guy, and I've I'd love to do it, and 88 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: it just it's been something I've done for a long time. 89 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: And now that you can make money off at working 90 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: for real companies, it's pretty awesome. I think the same 91 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: thing is happening with n I L right now, Like 92 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: we're only talking about the big stars getting paid, and 93 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: eventually this is gonna trickle down and you're gonna have 94 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: the third string wide receiver is gonna be getting nil 95 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: money because you need depth. Injuries happen, guys, transfer, guys 96 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: get kicked out of the off the team. You need depth, 97 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: Like teams are gonna start to get treated like NFL 98 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: and NBA teams now. The key is and I talked 99 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: about this with Danny. I am an owner of a 100 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: Australian basketball team in the NBL and a soccer team 101 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: in Lega MX, and our team plays in the playoff, 102 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: uh Saturday three, big game, huge game. I'm fired up. 103 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: What's cool is being in on the discussions where we've 104 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: got to move on from the coach, this players coming in, 105 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: we want to target this guy. Can we should we 106 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: load this guy out? Like being in on these discussions 107 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: is awesome, It's fun. It just feels cool. This is 108 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: where I love this, right, I'll never forget When the Breakers, 109 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: the Australian basketball team, came to Memphis to play the 110 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: Grizzlies a few years ago. I traveled from l A 111 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: to Memphis for the game and you know, we're hey, 112 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with the other owners and after the game, 113 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,119 Speaker 1: we go out to dinner with the coach and there's 114 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: like high level discussions happening about the team, about like 115 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: the structure and the style. And it was I mean 116 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: I was just sitting there as a sponge just listening 117 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: and it was. It was incredible. I loved it, and 118 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, I love this. Would it be great if 119 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: I could make a lot of money and then like 120 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: be part of a front office for a team that 121 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: I own. I mean, again, it's just soccer and and 122 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: Australia in basketball. It's not the NBA. Or NFL. But 123 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: that's way down the road. But when you look at 124 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: what's happening with the n I l these boosters. They 125 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: feel they are part of the front office. I like 126 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: this three star kid. I see, you know, he's a 127 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: little young. I think if we throw money at him, 128 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: we can get him. Here's what it's gonna take. You know, 129 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: they're becoming their own recruiting service. You know, the coaches 130 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: and the program are obviously recruiting, but these boosters say, 131 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: I like this guy a lot. I want to give 132 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: my n IL money this guy and that stuff can happen, 133 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 1: and how the coaches in the program handle it, because 134 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: as we've seen at many schools, the boosters kind of 135 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: sort of can run the show that can happen. So 136 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: this discussion is awesome. I hope you guys like it. 137 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm anticipating a lot of feedback. Briefly, on the NBA, 138 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: where both games were decided by fifteen or more points, 139 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: the Sixers kind of sort of look dead. Uh, They're 140 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: hopeful Joel Embie can return by game three. James Harden 141 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: just we know he's a shell of himself. We know 142 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: no need to beat him up even more Tyrese Maxie 143 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: kept it moderately interesting with thirty or four points, but 144 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: their bench is incredibly thin, like Quark Mas played a 145 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: lot Matisse thybel twenty one minutes, no shot attempts, like 146 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: how do you play an NBA game for twenty one 147 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: minutes and not shoot the basketball? Danny Green one of ten, 148 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,119 Speaker 1: like it was ugly for the Sixers. They're gonna rebound 149 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: at home. They can't play any worse. Let's see what 150 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: happens in Philly. If the Heat can get Game three, 151 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: it's it's over. We know that series over. It kind 152 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: of sort of feels over right now. Um asked for 153 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: the nightcap. This got interesting, and I do believe we're 154 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna hear some people bashing my main man, Luca Donje who, 155 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: by the way, I had thirty five, seven and five 156 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: kept them in it. They led after the I think 157 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: they let it halftime by two, and Luca was just unbelievable, unstoppable, 158 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: putting people in a blender all first half, setting up 159 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: his teammates. He was awesome. A and they get nothing 160 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: from Phinnie Smith. Jalen Bronson struggles three of twelve, and 161 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: basically Luca done just like Okay, you know Davis Burtan's 162 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: can you hit a couple of threes? And he could. 163 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: In the first half, Spencer dim wi, can you make 164 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: some shots? Sure I can. And then the second half 165 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: comes and it's like if it's not Luca or Reggie Bullock, 166 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: they have nothing, and the Suns start to pull away. 167 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: Third quarter, Devin Booker takes over, and then, as has 168 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: been the case, in the fourth it is the Chris 169 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: Paul show. Chris Paul now about to turn thirty seven 170 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: years old. I think today tomorrow one of those and 171 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: he basically saves his energy. I think he had something 172 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: like seven points at halftime, or a really low number. 173 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: He wasn't doing much at halftime, but he was saving 174 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: it for the fourth quarter if they need it, and 175 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: they didn't totally need it, but he took over in 176 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: the fourth and I'll say this, Chris Paul does not 177 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: like you saw this after Game one. Chris Paul does 178 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: not like all the props Lucas getting. In an interview afterward, 179 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: I think it was Dave mcnam and mentioned Luca blah 180 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: blah blah. He's like, they got a lot of good 181 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: players over there, and he mentioned like whoever, and then 182 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: mentioned Theo Pinson who didn't even play, And it was 183 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: clear the message from Chris Paul was Luca ain't nothing special. 184 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: They got a lot of good guys over there. So 185 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: what happened in the fourth quarter they mercilessly had Chris 186 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: Paul hunt Luca don chech. Now we know Luca is 187 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: gonna wear down. He sets the table on offense. He 188 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: led the NBA in time of possession. That means, you know, 189 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: basically the point guard right James Harden usually does it, 190 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: usually Russell Westbrook back in his prime, But basically the 191 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: point guard handles the ball a lot setting up the offense. 192 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: So once Luca is setting up the offense, he ain't 193 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: gonna be playing a lot of defense. And he's not 194 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: in great shape. We know that he's not. He's not 195 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: fat nowt to shape, he's just he's not fat Luca, 196 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: but he wasn't in he's not in great shape and 197 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: defensively doesn't move his feet. Well, you know, he's a European, 198 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: he's not a great athlete. He didn't working in slow 199 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: motion on offense and dominating. And it's one of those 200 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: things where they decided every trip down the floor, gimme 201 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: Lucas guy. I'm Chris Paul. I'm putting him in a 202 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: pick and roll. Every it happened like a six seven 203 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: possessions in a row. And listen, Luca is not a 204 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: great defender. We know this. And Chris Paul went at 205 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: him every single time. And then Chris Paul scored on 206 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: him a couple of times and would start staring at 207 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: the Sun's bench and then he would start staring at 208 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: the Mavericks bench. He's not saying anything, He's just staring 209 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: letting it be known that I'm going at Luca. And 210 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: it's one of those things, man, Folks, this Luca Dante stuff. 211 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: The people don't like that he's being crowned. And I'll 212 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: never forget. One of my big issues with Chris Paul again, 213 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: yesterday's guests is good friends with them. They know him. 214 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: I get it. One of my issues with Chris Paul 215 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: was him going at Steph Curry in Houston a few 216 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: years ago, shimmied in his face when they went up 217 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: when they were in the midst of going up through too. 218 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: It was the great um Steph Curry, Clay and Kevin 219 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Duranti and James Paul James James, the James Harden and 220 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: Chris Paul were having a great series and they were 221 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: bombing threes and I'll never forget Chris Paul shimmied in 222 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: his face. They go up three too. And I remember 223 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: this because I was at a dinner on the beach 224 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: and I'm following the game on my phone and I 225 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: tell my wife, you know, with another couple, and like, 226 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: I listen, I gotta run to the bar over there, 227 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: I gotta watch this. I get to the bar and 228 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: there happened to be you know, some Houston fans there 229 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm based, I'm like rooting for Curry and Company. 230 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: And you know, he hits the shimmy and these guys 231 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: start going crazy and I'm just like, giv me a break. 232 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: Within a minute, Chris Paul clutching his hamstring. Done for 233 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: the series. Do not tempt the basketball gods. Chris Paul 234 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: learned his lesson. I know you guys are laughing at all, Jason, 235 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: come on, give me a break. Listen. Don't tempt the 236 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: basketball gods. They are mean and cruel. Chris Paul busted 237 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: his hamstring. Rockets collapse, and that was that. Now Here 238 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: we are a couple of years later. Chris Paul's not 239 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: saying what he really wants to say. He's biting his 240 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: tongue because he knows that any moment, seven year old, 241 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: he can fall apart. And oh, by the way, Luca's 242 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: gonna get him in Dallas. They will, they will, They'll 243 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: come back. This is not over. I know it feels 244 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: like it's over. It's not over. Dallas has to decide 245 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: how are they going to handle the attacking Luca every possession. Well, 246 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: we've seen this with Steph Curry in the Warriors. They 247 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: want to hunt Curry Lebron famously did in the finals. 248 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Curry was up for the challenge. Sometimes other times not. 249 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: Other times they would hand Curry would hand off his 250 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: defender who was going uh would hand off who he 251 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: was guarding instead of going to the screen, and they 252 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: would do a switch on the fly. Dallas can do that. Eventually, 253 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: Dallas settled, Okay, we can trap Chris Paul. Okay, we 254 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: can have Luca stay back in his zone. That's a 255 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: little dangerous with Booker as a three point shooter and 256 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: he's hitting parking lot three. So Dallas has some stuff 257 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: to figure out. No doubt about it no doubt they 258 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: will come back in the series. It's not over. Only 259 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: only Phoenix Suns fans think this is over in a 260 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: not over. Trust me, it ain't not. I can barely 261 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: speak this morning. Sons improved to fifty two and oh 262 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: when leading after the third quarter. Hey, Dallas may want 263 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: to get a lead heading into the fourth. Okay, I 264 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: just might want to um. All right, that's enough on 265 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: the NBA. It's time for our guest CBS Sports is 266 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: Danny Cannell. Jason likes to think he knows everything when 267 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: it comes to sports. I know what sports dance want. 268 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: But for everything he doesn't. He knows a guy who does. 269 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: Let's just say I know a guy who knows a 270 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: guy he knows another guy. Let's welcome into straight fire. 271 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: He's been a guest before. Former NFL quarterback, former college 272 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: football legend. Uh. He coaches middle school golf. In his 273 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: spare time, he's on TV with CBS. He does everything. 274 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, is there a job you don't have, Danny Cannell, 275 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: not manny man. I got a lot of mouths defeat. 276 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,359 Speaker 1: I got three daughters, so I got three college tuitions 277 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: to look ahead for. I got three weddings to look 278 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: out for. I got mouths to feed man, so more 279 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: I can do the better. You know what I'm saying. 280 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm hustling out here. You gotta stay hustling in those streets. Well, 281 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: maybe you could start an n I L fund for 282 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: f s U. You and a couple of guys. That 283 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: seems to be the coolest thing to do. Now, Matt 284 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: Leonard out here with USC, Brady Quinn and Notre Dame, 285 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Danny Cannell, n F S you, you've got 286 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: something cooking, right, I've talked to them. I actually, uh, 287 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: I'll probably pass on that. I'll wait and see. I'm 288 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: gonna let the dust settle. I'm gonna let the dust 289 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: settle a little bit because I think a lot of 290 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: these collectives n F T s UH, nonprofits five or 291 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: one C three's. I think you could see potentially some 292 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: changes coming where it might be a little bit tougher. 293 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the n c A just came out said 294 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to start this task force to make 295 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: sure there's no h impropriety going on. But I kind 296 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: of I don't want to rush. I'm gonna be the 297 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: first want everybody else see what's going on, and then 298 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: maybe I'll hop into the fray and uh in a 299 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: little bit. So it hasn't been a year, Jay's that's 300 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: what's crazy. It has not even been a year of 301 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: n I L and we're already where we are where 302 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: people are losing their minds. Yeah, the it feels like 303 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: the N I L gold rush, similar to the gambling 304 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: gold rush in sports media. But you know the n 305 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: c A, Danny is like turning the Titanic to make decisions. So, 306 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: I mean they say we're gonna look into it, Okay, 307 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: Well we'll hear what you gotta say three years from now. Uh. 308 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: And Mark Emmert's leaving right or stepping down or something. 309 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: So you know, there's just so much. It feels like 310 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: if you're not in on the action now, you're kind 311 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: of missing out. But Danny, I want to zoom out. 312 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: Big picture is what's happening now with recruiting and the 313 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: transfer portal? Is this that different than what was happening 314 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: five years ago? Um No, except it's out in the open, 315 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: which I thought would be a good thing. I thought 316 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: because I was pro n I L. I've been pro 317 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: n I L the whole long The whole time along, like, 318 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't think it's American that you could say to 319 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: a player, you know, a Johnny Manzel who won the 320 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy before he left Tim Tebow before he graduated, No, 321 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: you guys cannot make money. You you know, as a 322 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner, there is a massive opportunity. And that 323 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: was just the biggest, biggest example that was out there. 324 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: There are plenty of guys who are brands. Trevor Lawrence 325 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: was a brand at Clemson for three years. I mean 326 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: this freshman year he won the national championship. So I 327 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: didn't think it was very American to say no, if 328 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: you guys can't do an autograph signing, you can't have 329 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: a local car dealership, you can't have uh, you know, 330 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: there's no way you can make any money. So I 331 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: was pro n I l because I thought, you know what, 332 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: if a player has built a brand, we should let 333 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: him be able to market himself make some extra money 334 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: on the side, even if it's a lot of money. 335 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: Because that we've seen a lot of moneys out there. 336 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: The issue has been I think that it is not 337 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: um anything about your brand, your marketability. It is all 338 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: about paying for play, which is not what this is 339 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: supposed to be about. And that's the and I think 340 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: that's why people are losing their minds because it has 341 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: gone on forever. You're right in recruiting. I mean, the 342 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: SEC built its dominance based on bagman and McDonald's bags 343 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: full of cash for the past twenty years. But now 344 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: that it's out in the open. I thought being out 345 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: in the open would bring everybody above board. Everybody would 346 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: kind of have to respect the name, image and likeness 347 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: rules that were out there. But quickly we've seen teams 348 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: are daring, daring the n c A to say, what 349 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: are you gonna do? And no one is like and 350 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: the n c A isn't like they're trying to start 351 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: this task force, but this is gonna go to the 352 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: courts and they'll probably lose against There's not really anything 353 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: to do about it. So so we're gonna focus on 354 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: college football. But Danny, you saw the story last week 355 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: about the college basketball player at Miami Wong, who was 356 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: good in the tournament. I I bet against him twice 357 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: and lost and whatever he he basically saw that they 358 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: recruited a guy and we're gonna pay him eight hundred 359 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a Kansas State basketball player, and he said, well, 360 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're paying him more than me. I 361 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: was a part of a Sweet sixteen team. I'm out 362 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: of here unless you annie up now. We haven't seen 363 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: that in college football that I'm aware of, But uh, 364 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: Danny like that? That sets an awkward precedent of a 365 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: what y year old coming out and pay me more 366 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: than that other guy you just paid. College basketball and 367 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: football players have more levied leverage than any professional athlete 368 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: out there. They have more leverage than an NFL player. 369 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: They have more leverage than an NBA player because they're 370 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: not under contract that an NBA player can hold out. 371 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: He can, you know, which is essentially what these players 372 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: are doing. But they are abound to the to honor 373 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: their contract. If they don't honor their contract, the team, 374 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: the club, the organization could say well, we're not gonna 375 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: pay you for a year, like Levian Bell, remember he 376 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: he decided to sit out an entire year. With college 377 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: athletes with a free transfer, a player could say, I 378 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: could player Isaiah Wong could say I'm not playing for 379 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: Miami and if you don't pay me, I'm leaving and 380 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play somewhere else and there is nothing 381 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: that's holding him back from doing that. So he used 382 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: his power to do that. And all these players are 383 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: doing He's not the only one that has done that. 384 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: There have been several examples of players. Probably the most 385 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: prominent one is a guy named ma Marius Mims, a 386 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: five star offensive tackle from Georgia. Now he's alignment, that's 387 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: why not many people know about him. Miami and he 388 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: entered the trans reportal He was a five star at 389 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: Georgia who had played a little bit, entered the trans 390 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: reportal Miami and Florida State got heavily involved in the 391 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: recruiting process, and guess what happened. He ended up going 392 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: back to Georgia to Athens. Do you think that was 393 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: all about him just not liking his options and wanting 394 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: to go back to win another national championship. No, Georgia 395 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: matched the offers that were out there, and probably even 396 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: up to them, So we went back to Athens to 397 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: go back to there. So it's happened not as out 398 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: in the open now. Isaiah Long had a representative on 399 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: his behalf kind of negotiating saying he's not going back 400 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, this will happen a little bit more 401 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: under the radar, But I mean, and that's that case 402 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: and the Jordan Addison from Pitt to USC are probably 403 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: the two tipping points where I think a lot of 404 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: people started to kind of lose their mind and say, 405 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: wait a second, we needed to take a step back 406 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: and see this is best for college football. Because in 407 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: the case of Isaiah Long, there's a billion I don't 408 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: know if he's a billionaire or not. He likes to 409 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: call himself a billionaire. It's a very wealthy booster from 410 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: Miami named John Ruise, very successful businessman. He tweeted out 411 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: the deal of the Kansas State player, made it public 412 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: for the first time we've seen it that glaringly in 413 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: your face announcing his deal was you know, eight hundred thousand, 414 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand a year for two years and a car. 415 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: And everybody saw that, including Isaiah Wong and he went 416 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: back to the table. So that and the Jordan Addison case, 417 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: I think why people are very concerned about just how 418 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: quickly this is devolved into just pay for play. The 419 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: crazy thing about Addison, the kid from Pitt and I 420 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: haven't seen a resolution yet, but the rumors out there 421 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: for what USC was offering the bullet and a golf 422 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: award winner. Now, he played with Kenny Pickett last year, 423 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett obviously in the NFL. Now, so the idea 424 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to transfer as a little silly, 425 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: like everybody wants him and you want to go play 426 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: for a better quarterback, you want to go play in 427 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley system like that. I'm not a huge shock 428 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: by that. But the idea that, oh, we're offering him 429 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: a house and all this stuff, like Danny I am 430 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: pro player. But eventually the trickle down is gonna work 431 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: in this right, the top guys will get the houses 432 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: in the cars, and the next year guys in the 433 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: next year guys. So is it is it that? Is 434 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: it really that much of a problem. Yes, because of 435 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: the and here's the problem, we're in this purgatory period 436 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: because I do think we're going to a place where 437 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: college football and basketball players we'll be in a place 438 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: where they'll be employees, they'll be paid, they'll be paid 439 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: big salaries. I think we'll get to that place, and 440 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: I think the football might lead the way. They have 441 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: more incentive. Their contracts for the TV rights are coming 442 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: up pretty soon. It's an easier break because the college 443 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: football Playoff is the college football is already not run 444 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: by the n c A. The College Football Playoff is 445 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: its own entity, it's its own business, and that's who 446 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: runs the college football Playoff. College basketball is a little 447 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: bit more bogged down because the n c A has 448 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: the TV deal directly they run the n c A tournament. 449 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: But I think will get to a place where college 450 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: football players are and they'll be different divisions. That's the thing. 451 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: I think we'll see a split off. We'll see maybe 452 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: the top I've heard Mike Gundy said thirty Dabo Sweeney 453 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: said forty to fifty. You know, other coaches have kind 454 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: of used different numbers of how many teams are going 455 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: to be a part of this new league conference, whatever 456 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: you want to call it. And those will be profession 457 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: basically minor league professional football players that will see in 458 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: the future. Because the one thing I think that's an 459 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: issue with Jordan Addison. By the way, I talked to 460 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: Pat nar Doozy, the head coach at pitt the week 461 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: before this all blew up. It was Wednesday of last week. 462 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: The news came out Friday, and I asked him, I said, 463 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: how much did it bother you that players are teams 464 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: were coming after Jordan Addison after the season, And he 465 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: said it was incredibly frustrating. He said they were attended 466 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: twelve schools, that all were coming after him, he said, 467 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: but we resolved that. I took that to mean he, 468 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, had assurances from Jordan Adison, had n I 469 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: l deals in place where he was. You know, Ordon 470 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: Adison felt like he was going to go back there, 471 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: And clearly Patton Ardoozy did not see this coming. That's 472 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: why he called Lincoln Riley and I'm screwed. That's sure. 473 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: There was some you know, colorful language called when he 474 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: was accusing Lincoln Riley of tampering and stealing a player 475 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: off his roster, which I do think happened, maybe not 476 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: from Lincoln directly, but from some representatives from USC wanting 477 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: Jordan's Addison out there. So here's the problem I have 478 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: with it because a lot of fans are saying, well, 479 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: what's the difference. Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma to go to 480 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: a better job at USC for more money. Why can't 481 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: a player pitt is left with nothing. That's the thing 482 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: that's the problem. So Oklahoma gets a four and a 483 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,479 Speaker 1: half million dollar buy out. They get money, and they 484 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: get a cash spy out from USC. Pitt did spend 485 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: a lot of capital developing Jordan Addison as a high 486 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: school player. He was not a heavily you know, not 487 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: a five star guy. You know, I think he was 488 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: like a three star recruit. They developed him, They build 489 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: them in, They you know, provided him you know, housing, 490 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 1: they provided him food, they've nutrition, strength and training, football training. 491 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: They invested a lot into Jordan Madison. And what do 492 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: they get in return, Jack Squad? Well, okay, that's the 493 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: thing I think needs to happen where if he leaves, 494 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: they need to be compensated or we need to go 495 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: to a place where they really are professionals. And Jordan 496 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: Adison would be under contract to pit and he would 497 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: have to stay there because just like professionals do, once 498 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: you're under contract, you have to stay at the place 499 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: you're under contract with. Right, But isn't this and no 500 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: different than a late bloomer, right, Danny, like you were 501 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: a big time recruit coming out when Bobby Bowden is 502 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: in his prime and he locks up somebody, you know, 503 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: and everybody knows we can't get him, We're not we 504 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: know no point. But let's say you had an East 505 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: Carolina come in right, and then all of a sudden, 506 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: you're senior years incredible, and the big boys start circling 507 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: and they come in like do you want to go 508 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: to USC or U C l A, or uh, I 509 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: don't Michigan? Or do you want to go to East Carolina? 510 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: And some kids will say, you know what they were 511 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: on me first, I trust them. I'm gonna stick with them. 512 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: And others are gonna say, holy call, I can play 513 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: in the big House on TV, Like I gotta go there. 514 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: Like isn't this basically that all the same thing, just 515 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: with more money involved. First of all, I'll say this 516 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: pitt is coming off an A C C championship and 517 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: they played in New Year's six games, So it's not 518 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: like they're small time football. They're big time football. The 519 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: other thing, the instance that you're talking about, is what 520 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: happens in amateur sports. Now, if you want to go 521 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: back to the student athlete model, that's what happens. But 522 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: for instance, what about a case where in the NFL 523 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: if a player is drafted in the six or seventh 524 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: round and he develops. What does he have to do. 525 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: He has to wait for free agency. He has to 526 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: wait for his opportunity. He can't just bounce after one 527 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: rookie year that's incredible. Go take the highest bidder and say, yeah, 528 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play for the Kansas City Chiefs because 529 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: I want to play with Patrick Hoomes. They're gonna pay 530 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: me fifty million dollars guaranteed. He has to wait his 531 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: turn now with no system, That's why I was referring 532 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: to college players have more leverage than any professional player, 533 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: any NFL player that we see currently, the way the 534 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: system is set up, because there's nothing blocking Jordanatis from 535 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: do that. There's no system in place. And until we 536 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: get that system, which I don't think it's gonna happen 537 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: very soon. As you mentioned, nothing happens quickly in this business. 538 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: This is the way it's going to be, and that, 539 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: to me, is a bad place for college football because 540 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: you're seeing a lot of fans spell like imagine being 541 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: a pit fan. I know it's awesome if you're a 542 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: USC fan, and it's great, and I want USC to 543 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: be good. I think it'd be great if USC major. 544 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: I think if they make the playoff this year. It's awesome. 545 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: Pitt made the a C C Championship Game last year. 546 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: Nobody cared, like, it's not that so it's I I 547 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: totally understand it from that standpoint, But like, what if 548 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: it happens, And it's happened already, We've seen players leave Georgia, 549 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: leave Alabama, But what does it do the programs that 550 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: have no protection that they maybe did find a diamond 551 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: in the rough and they don't get to keep them. 552 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: They're just gonna bounce from there to the next. Now, 553 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: maybe that happens and we get to this place where 554 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: these forty or fifty schools break off and their professionals 555 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: and some players go. Let's just say it's kind of 556 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: the remaining the group of five teams. Let's say somebody 557 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: goes to a Nevada I'm trying to think of just 558 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: any team that's probably not going to be a San 559 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: Diego State. Let's say they play there and they're really good, 560 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: they might get plucked from that roster, elevated and paid 561 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: to go to USC, Georgia, Alabama, one of those schools. 562 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: But that system is in place and in place right now. 563 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: And what I'm worried about is during the next three, five, 564 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: ten years that we're in this limbo, the damage that 565 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: could do to a lot of college football fan bases. 566 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: Like a pit fan, um, you know, a Mississippi State fan, uh, 567 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: and Arizona State fan while you know, I just pick 568 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: your school. That's kind of outside, not the perennial powerhouses 569 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: of college football, where they'll just be like, why should 570 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: I root for my team if my players just gonna 571 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: bounce as soon as they have a good year. Sounds 572 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: like the Miami Marlins in Major League Baseball or one 573 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: of those teams that don't spend. Fox Sports Radio has 574 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all 575 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com and 576 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: within the I Heart Radio app search f s R 577 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: to listen live. Let's stay with Addison. Let's drill down 578 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: for a second. Okay, So, if your pit and you 579 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: see Addison blowing up last year with Pickett and he's 580 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: becoming a star internally, don't you guys, don't you say 581 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: to your staff, hey, guys, um, we might have to 582 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: rerecruit him to keep him here, that's how well he's playing. Also, 583 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: our star quarterback going to the league. Think about this 584 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: if you're Addison's dad and you say, damn, he was 585 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: a Bolitic Cough Award winner with Kenny Pickett monster year 586 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: and now Pickets leaving. Now, I haven't looked at the 587 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: depth chart at the offensive line. Uh, it's gonna be 588 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: a tough going for Addison next year. His NFL stock 589 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: could drop if the next quarterback is not awesome. If 590 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm Pitt, I had to anticipate all this stuff and 591 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: I'll add this next later, like you know, this could 592 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: be a big blue chip for Pitt. Right, Hey, young 593 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: receivers out there, we're gonna pick you two and three 594 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: star guys, turn you into Addison's the way we did 595 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: with Addison even though he left us. We can do 596 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: that for you and you can still find diamonds in 597 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: the rough and make them stars. No, so this you 598 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 1: can spin it in a positive way of your pit, right, 599 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: I mean you gotta try. It really doesn't feel positive. Yeah, 600 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: you have to. And then they were re recruiting him 601 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: and they were talking to him and that was the deal. 602 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: When the season ended, they had a lot of conversations 603 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of schools were coming after him, and 604 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: they thought they had closed that door. That's why this 605 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: task force I would be I wouldn't be nervous at 606 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: all because I think in the courts they have no chance. 607 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: But all this news broke before Jordan Addison technically had 608 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: entered the trans REPORTAL. Now you're not allowed to talk 609 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: to players until they're absolutely in the trans REPORTAL. So 610 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: there's some real gray area there, and it happens with everybody. 611 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: It happens across the board. But I'll throw this back 612 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: at you because I hear you saying, no, this is great, 613 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: this is good for Jordan Adison when you do the 614 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: same thing, wouldn't his best move be to skip this 615 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: year and go to the pros, go to the NFL 616 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: and make the big guaranteed money and start the clock 617 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: on his NFL career, Like I think you mean skip 618 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, absolutely, he can make money. He can 619 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: make money. He can, But what if he what if 620 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: his stock drops, what if he gets hurt? What if 621 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: the money's you know, penny is compared to what he 622 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: could make as a top ten pick next year in 623 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: the draft. So that's like the one of the things 624 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people are asking is 625 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: how do we get to this place? And clearly the 626 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: n c A dropped this ball big time, and they 627 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: thought the courts would rule their favor, and they could 628 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: not have been more wrong. What I've been saying for 629 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: about five or six years is because we've heard a 630 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: lot of complaining these players are exploited, they're not making 631 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: any money. Uh, they're used, their spit out, and I've 632 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: been like, you're right, you're like, let's find a way. 633 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: My solution has always been for the n c A 634 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: fine tell players if they don't like the system, they 635 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: can go pro any time they want. I think that 636 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: would have solved a lot of a lot of the 637 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: problem we're in from the people complaining saying, oh, you're 638 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: exploiting them. No, we're not. If you don't like it, 639 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: go pro as soon as you want. You can turn 640 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: pro one years though, Danny, I mean if you say 641 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: turn pro after one or two years, I mean, if 642 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: you go to Alabama, are you leaving after one or 643 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: two years? If you go to Georgia, are you leaving 644 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: after one or two years? If you're good, all those guys, 645 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: are they physically ready? A lot of these kids aren't. 646 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: In the NBA. It's different the punishment in football I 647 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: don't know. That's a tough one ready, it would be 648 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: a rarity, but that's supposed to be the best of 649 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: the best. It is supposed to be rare to go 650 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: to the NFL. Yeah, um let me, let me. I 651 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: got a text from someone on the East coast about this. Now, 652 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if this story how accurate it is. 653 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: Penn States were rooting a kid. They you know, they 654 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: have their little groups of N I L people. USC 655 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: gets in the mix of a player and starts telling 656 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: them that they can be background actors in TV shows, movies, extras, 657 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: and they're throwing millions of dollars, not obviously millions of 658 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: a lot, probably thousands of dollars. If you are U 659 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: C L. All of a sudden, you hear this, like 660 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: we could do that. Now. USC has a renowned film school. 661 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: They got a lot of connections in the industry. Easy 662 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: money there, right. I don't know if you're in the 663 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: big ten or the A C s, Like, how do 664 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: you even counter that? Like that's a humongous edge for 665 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley in USC. Huge if assuming this is real 666 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: and happening. Totally agree. I think there's two schools and 667 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: we just saw Miami. The Fresno State basketball I think 668 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: it's the Cavendar Twins. Oh, I've heard about them yet, 669 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, for I don't know if I'm getting their 670 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: name right, but they were at Fresno State. They just 671 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: signed with Miami to play basketball. Yes, I think Miami 672 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: and l A are very unique markets. One for the 673 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: Hollywood aspect, and you do have a lot of connections there. 674 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: You could be background actors. Shoot, you might get a 675 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: small role in some movies because of the connections that 676 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: USC has to the film industry. And in Miami you've 677 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: got a very unique spot where, you know, if you 678 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: want to be an influencer, South Beach, Miami, very you know, 679 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: the Kardashians, whatever you want to pick to build your brand, 680 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: it's a great backdrop for it. So those schools have 681 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: some very unique opportunities where they can sell. Where Tallahassee, 682 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: where I went to school, it is, you know, what 683 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: are you gonna sell the capital? You know, like there's 684 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: there's good looking girls, that's about it, you know, Happy 685 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: Valley what and Arbor Michigan? Like good luck trying to 686 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: sell anybody other than just straight cash. So I do 687 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: think they have a unique capability of some sales pitches 688 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: that will attract players from all over place. I think Oregon. 689 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, the the Nike, and that 690 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: was one thing came on. Thibodeaux referenced why he went 691 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: to Oregon over Alabama was the Phil Knight connection. Being 692 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: able to build something like that. Maybe they'd sell if 693 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: there's a player that's big enough. I guarantee you they'd say, sure, 694 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: we'll make your own shoe. There's a player that is 695 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: that big, they would do that to lure them to Oregon. 696 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: So I think every school has to be looking at 697 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: what makes them unique, what step makes them set apart, 698 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: because at some point a lot of these bigger schools, 699 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: they'll all be able to pull together about the same money, 700 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: whether it's five million, ten million. I mean, the most 701 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: I've heard so far is the player that's going to 702 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: Tennessee that's gonna make eight million over three years and 703 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: he hasn't even played a snap yet, but eight million, 704 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: he's all, yeah, eight mil. If you google eight million 705 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: dollars Tennessee balls quarterback. I think his name is via Uh, 706 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: I'm a Layeva, I'm the I'm a Lieva. I think 707 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: is his name to family from mill Yeah, and so 708 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: now he's only a junior. He says, like he's still 709 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: got his senior year in high school to go. Wait, 710 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: is that Danny? We just saw that with the kid 711 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: from Texas who went to State, got all this money 712 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,239 Speaker 1: and then he's transferring out exactly. Now. The unique thing 713 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: in California, you you can collect that money in high school. 714 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: In Texas you couldn't, which is why he reclassified, went 715 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: to Ohio State red shirted. Now he's back in Texas 716 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: getting a double bag essentially, And good for him. He 717 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 1: just took advantage of the system. But I do wonder 718 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: the only thing I wonder, at what point do collectives boosters, businesses, 719 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: Hollywood industry do they realize because there's gonna be bus 720 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: I mean, look at the NFL Draft. We just had 721 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: thirty two, you know whatever, how many guys draft in 722 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: the first round we just saw you know, you'll see 723 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: probably half of those maybe will be busts, guys that 724 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: aren't as good as we thought. At what point to 725 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: businesses collectives do they get tired of paying players that 726 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: haven't proven it yet. Now Jordan Addison is a unique animal. 727 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: He's already proven it. So I think they're always I 728 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: think that might be the bigger market the players coming 729 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: out of high school. I wonder if the risk is 730 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: too much, but I don't. Nothing surprised me in college 731 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: football with the desire to win and what boosters will 732 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: do if they're hung green enough to feel like that 733 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: player is going to make the difference. There's so many 734 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: layers to this. So you know that I've invested in 735 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: like an Australian basketball team and a Mexican soccer team, 736 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, it is super cool to be 737 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: on the inside hearing, hey, we're gonna move on the 738 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: coach and we're looking at this player in the transfer market, 739 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: and like being on the ground level, that's awesome. It 740 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: feels great. I wonder if these boosters are starting to 741 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: feel like NFL front offices. Like if you're a Tennessee 742 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: booster and you're in that collective, you say, hey, you 743 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 1: know what, we can't get this guy because he's going 744 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: to Michigan or Ohio State. But if we overpaid this guy, 745 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: we can probably steal him. Like they almost feel like 746 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: they're NFL front offices. Do they not? Yes? And I 747 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: hate that about it. It's annoying. So John Ruise is 748 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: the guy from Miami Go Fall. Look at him on Twitter. 749 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean he thinks he's an NFL owner and he's 750 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: out there tweeting every move and he feels like he's 751 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: a part of something, and good for him. But there 752 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: will be conflicts because of this, just like there are 753 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: conflicts and owners in front offices, but there's no official 754 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: relations and ship. So what happens when the booster, you know, 755 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: whatever billionaire booster it is. Let's say Tennessee's example. Let's 756 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: say there's a collective they pulled together this money to 757 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: have this kid come in, a high school quarterback, and 758 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna come to Tennessee. What if Josh Hypel, the 759 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: coach of Tennessee, sees this players like, man, he's a 760 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: long way from playing. But the boosters, they're like, wait 761 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: a second, we paid eight million dollars. We want him 762 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: to start. We want him to start now. There will 763 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: be pressure on Josh Hypel to play that player. What 764 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: does that dynamic look like when those boosters are probably 765 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,240 Speaker 1: the same people that can buy out Josh Hypel's contracts, 766 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: send him back and if they want to, it's there's 767 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: gonna be some really uncomfortable situations that unfold from this, 768 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: and we're just seeing a couple of them now. And 769 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: we're just getting started. Like we said, it's only eight 770 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: months out that we've been in this era. We are 771 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: just getting started the type of things we're gonna say. 772 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why you hate that. You're not the coach. 773 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about it. Now the coach 774 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: does have to worry. But this has got to be 775 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: a new thing for coaches. Like given what happened with Tennessee, 776 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: who's get Sciano for Rutgers? And like that Tennessee fan 777 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: base is a bunch of crazy fools, Like I don't 778 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: want to get anywhere near I don't. You don't want 779 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: to get near those morons. That being said, we haven't 780 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: really talked about the biggest aspect, Danny actually playing the sport. 781 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: And we saw Spencer Rattler and again, you know, everybody 782 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: had him. He's gonna win the Hi Spend, He's gonna 783 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: be the number one pick. Spencer Rattler is you know, 784 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: evidence a for n I l caution because I don't 785 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: know if it got to him the money the outside enforces, 786 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: but he was not anything close to what he was 787 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: the year prior. He gets benched and then he transfers. Listen, 788 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: so that's a quarterback. Okay, what happens when it's a 789 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver like you said, he has four drops and 790 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: he gets benched, Like, you're not gonna lose the n 791 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: I O money, but that pressure from the fans, social 792 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: media and I owe money your scholarship, like Danny, this 793 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: is a lot for eight year olds. It is, And 794 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,439 Speaker 1: that's one of those consequences I worry about, like what 795 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: it because I I notice it as an analyst. I've 796 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: always treated college football players differently than in felt. You know, 797 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: you're a little bit harder on NFL players because they're 798 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 1: getting paid millions of dollars. Well, these are student athletes. 799 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: They're just trying to do their best, so you might 800 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: go a little bit easier on some of your criticisms. 801 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: Last year, I definitely noticed across the board people were 802 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: a little bit harsher on guys like Spencer Rattler, specifically 803 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: because guys making you know, millions of bucks and like 804 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: word of caution. Spencer Rattler put down an entire season 805 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: that was pretty good, and we thought he was gonna 806 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: be great. Then he wasn't he gets beat by Caleb Williams. 807 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams played less than Spencer Rattler last year. Like 808 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: I think Caleb Williams is gonna be great. I think 809 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna flourish and uh Lincoln Riley system. But if 810 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: if it's not Kayleb Williams, it might be somebody else. 811 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: Maybe it's Jordan Addison. Maybe maybe had a great chemistry 812 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: and a great system that just doesn't work. There will 813 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: be players that don't work out, but they will be 814 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: paid handsomely because you know, because they've already got that bag, 815 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: they've already secured it, which I that's that's a good thing. 816 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: So I'm torn on this because I I I'm I 817 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: worry about the overall health of the sport. Like I'm 818 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: passionate about college football. I love college football. I wanted 819 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: to keep the momentum attack because I really feel like 820 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,399 Speaker 1: it's been in its golden era. But I think from 821 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: a lot of fans, I think they're concerned about and 822 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: maybe it's something where they relate. Maybe it's kind of corny, like, 823 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: oh that's a student, I was a student. We relate. 824 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: We went to the same university. We had the same struggles. 825 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of fans that are feel 826 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: like they're thrown thrown in the towel? Do they actually 827 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: probably not. I hope they stick around because Saturday has 828 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: come around. I think we'll still get the same product 829 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: on the field. But there was a massive difference when 830 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 1: I went from college to the NFL. As far as 831 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: the locker room. College guys cried after a loss. You 832 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: had players in the locker room who played just because 833 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: they love football. They knew they had no chance at 834 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: the NFL. They just wanted to play football. All of 835 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,919 Speaker 1: a sudden, you go to the professional league's players pay, 836 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: they punch in, they punch out. We lose half. My 837 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: check is still gonna clear. I worry a little bit 838 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: about that mindset creeping in, but it's kind of one 839 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: of those consequences that we get now that some of 840 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: this money is being dispersed around now and Alice uh 841 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,919 Speaker 1: and the ratings on TV. I know people who cares 842 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: about the ratings. Listen, the college football TV ratings, especially 843 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: for the playoffs, have gone down significantly over the last decade. 844 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: And we're gonna say, who cares attendance is way down, yes, 845 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: but the ratings dictate the new TV deal. Now, you 846 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: did say the new TV deals coming up. Obviously there's 847 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: still gonna be big money there. But is it gonna 848 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: continue growing or as you said, is the sport gonna 849 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: start to you know, is maction? Does that even matter anymore? Danny? Uh, 850 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: Wednesday Night Action? Who who cares? I personally don't watch it, 851 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: okayually gamble on it. But we're starting, I mean, we're 852 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,760 Speaker 1: starting to get to like a college basketball where maybe 853 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: ten to twelve teams matter. Right Well, we're already I 854 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: think we've already been there the last six or seven years. 855 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if you looked at some of the odds 856 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: from Vegas, there are only four teams this year that 857 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: people are really giving a chance to win the national championship. Too. 858 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: But I think we'll see a split, and I think 859 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: we'll I think we'll see a professional and we'll see 860 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 1: a true student amateur model going forward, Like and when 861 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,280 Speaker 1: it happens, I don't know. But our true student amateur 862 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: what does that even mean? Like you play for a scholarship, 863 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 1: Like you're happy with a scholarship. I want to go 864 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: I want to get my education paid for. I'll have 865 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: a nice stipend. I will get a scholarship where and 866 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: then some leagues you will see I think one league 867 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: probably maybe, but it's a super league or a super 868 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: conference will be employees. Do they even have to go 869 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: to class or they just do They just wear Alabama 870 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: Georgia USC on their chest and they're affiliated loosely with 871 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: the school. Maybe they go to class, maybe they don't, 872 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: but they are true employees of the school. I think 873 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,439 Speaker 1: that is not crazy to think that that is what's coming. 874 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: But I still think there will be a place where, 875 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: and it probably is the mac An Action or a 876 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: Mountain West or uh, you know, sun Belt, somewhere like 877 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: that where there are still amateur student athletes, players playing 878 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: just for a scholarship and that's it, no money. And 879 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,439 Speaker 1: maybe there are true n i L deals there where 880 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: the player you know has a nice here at U 881 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: A B in Birmingham, he gets some deal at the 882 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: car dealership, but the majority of his college football experiences 883 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: I'm getting in return. I get any education and free 884 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: food and board, and that'll be good enough for that person. 885 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 1: If you are a guy like We'll just keep using 886 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: Addison the pit receiver as an example, do you tell him, hey, man, 887 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: you've got a lot going on, you got a potential 888 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: NFL future. You need to focus on football and keep 889 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 1: getting better. Let your parents manager, n I L stuff. 890 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: Let one of your best friends who think you can 891 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 1: be a money man who's not gonna rob your ass. 892 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: You know, like that seems like it's going to be 893 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: a new basically position going forward. Do you have a 894 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 1: business guy so it doesn't distract you from the actual 895 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: thing that matters. It's going to get you to the league. Yes, 896 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: And if I was a parent, I would be telling 897 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Addison or anybody else this is great financially or 898 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: able to put something away. But if your main goal 899 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: is to maximize your earning potential, the best way to 900 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: do that is to be the best football player you 901 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: can be and be on the best team you can 902 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: be in best in the best situation where you received 903 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: the best coaching. I do think some players are gonna 904 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: make some mistakes because they're just going to follow the money. 905 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: And I heard Dion Sanders said that the other day, 906 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: like it's it's you have to be very well informed, 907 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: well educated, you have to have the connections, you have 908 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: to have the right people giving you that advice, whether 909 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: it's your parents, whether it's an agent, because once you 910 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 1: do have an agent on your behalf, they have they 911 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: have skin in the game too, so they're going to 912 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: get a cut. So they might try to steer you 913 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: away just for the money when there might be a 914 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,760 Speaker 1: situation with a better coaching staff or a better system 915 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 1: in place to help you prepare for the next career. 916 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: And we've all been there. I mean, it's it's easy 917 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 1: to say, you know, find a job that you love 918 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 1: that you would do for free, when there's a job 919 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: out there that might pay you a ton of money 920 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,399 Speaker 1: that maybe it's not the most enjoyable, but you're gonna 921 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: make the most money because being on a team in 922 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: a locker room. I've been in good locker rooms in 923 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: bad locker rooms, and it's not much fun. Even though 924 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 1: you're in an NFL being in some bad locker rooms 925 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: where the team chemistry wasn't great. It reflects on the performance. 926 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: So you need to make sure all of it is 927 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: coming into play, not just the bottom line and going 928 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: for the biggest dollar.

Uh, two 933 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: thousand twenty three NFL drafts. I know it's a year 934 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: in advance, and he nobody cares. Actually, everybody cares. If 935 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: you ask me how my draft is doing at Fox Sports, 936 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: I'll telly it's the number one clicker on the site. Okay, quarterbacks, 937 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: I'll just rattle off a couple. You tell me your 938 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: thoughts if if you think they have a good year 939 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: end up in the first round. C J. Stroud, I 940 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: think the consensus number one, right he is. Bryce Young 941 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: is in the conversation. But Bryce Young I stood next 942 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 1: to him on the field at Indianapolis of the championship game. 943 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: He is small, like frame under six. He's probably about six, 944 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: but more skinny like. That was the thing I was 945 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: blown away by was he's not like Russell Wilson is small, 946 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: but he's big. Even bak On Mayfield was shorter, but 947 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 1: he was big. Bryce Young needs to put on a 948 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 1: few LB's for that reason. I think c J. Stroud 949 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: has the slight lead and he is going to have 950 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: some tools around him. This year, the number is gonna 951 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: be insane. So I would say I would, but I 952 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 1: would say those two I think we'll be having a 953 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: debate similar to what we had with Ryan Leaf and 954 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:11,879 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. We'll leave his Kentucky. I'm not a believer yet. 955 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: I think he potentially. I think people are looking for 956 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: the next can he picket? And if he has a 957 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: great year, I think he could be Like, he could 958 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: play himself into the first round. He's physically, he's got 959 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: the skill set. He needs to back it up with 960 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: the film before I'm ready to put him in the 961 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 1: top ten. Yeah, this is the most divisive guy. People 962 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: are so upset that I put him in the first round. Uh, 963 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: DJ from Clemson. He was bad last year? Okay, Uh 964 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: he was, but you know, recruiting Danny, this guy was 965 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 1: the bomb coming out of high school. And he's like 966 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,360 Speaker 1: six four strap maybe six five, like two thirty five. 967 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: Filled in for Trevor Lawrence and was was excellent in 968 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: that Notre Dame game, I think four yards and everybody's like, oh, 969 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: he's the next game. Miss. They were bad last year. 970 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 1: He struggled. Uh your thoughts on on DJ going forward? 971 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: His confidence was rattled last year, and a lot of 972 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: that it's not all his fault. Like Pson's offensive line 973 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: wasn't as good, their play calling wasn't as great, the 974 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: talent around him wasn't as good. He started against Georgia, 975 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: that was his first game, had to pick six, and 976 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: I really think that derailed his confidence. If he gets 977 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,879 Speaker 1: his confidence back and they give him a run game, 978 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 1: I think he can play himself back into the conversation 979 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 1: because of his physical skill set. But right now I 980 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: need to see him. I'm worried if he doesn't play 981 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: well early, there's a five star on the team Cave 982 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: Club that who might take his job. It's that dicey 983 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: for him because because of the way that you're unfolded, 984 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 1: it was not great for DJ. But physical skill set 985 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: absolutely could be a first round there. Yeah, he could 986 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: go to Spencer Rattler route right, um who was like 987 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,360 Speaker 1: can't miss and then and then fumbled all right. Anthony 988 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 1: richardson Florida Gators. I think the chart is seventy seven 989 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: drop backs, so we haven't seen a lot of them. 990 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this. The guys I text around 991 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 1: the league for mock drafts love the potential for Richardson 992 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: six f um like he has a you can do 993 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 1: a backflip standing like you can do a backflip standing. 994 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: He he's a freak. Last year, a couple of times 995 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 1: when he did play, you saw his running capability. Had 996 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 1: a couple of big they drew up some QB draws. 997 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: He had like an eight yard run. He was very, 998 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: very raw last year, and they actually threw him in 999 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: against Georgia. I don't know if you remember Georgia. They 1000 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: were playing Georgia. I think it was three nothing right 1001 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: before the half. He had like a costly pick six 1002 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: and then he fumbled in the red zone gave Georgia 1003 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 1: at seven points. The other way he was it was 1004 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: way too early to throw him in there. But I 1005 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: like Billy Napier. Billy Napier last year had a similar quarterback, 1006 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: nowhere near his talented Levi Lewis who he developed. I 1007 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,760 Speaker 1: think he's got the right coach that could develop him. 1008 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 1: And the raw talent is there's a five star coming 1009 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: out all everything, and I think if they put him 1010 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 1: in good position, he could be a guy that could 1011 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: really pop the share all right. Two more Tyler Van 1012 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,240 Speaker 1: Dyke Miami Hurricanes, uh see people seem a little bullish 1013 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: on him. Looked pretty good last year, Uh, Miami, QB 1014 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: your thoughts. I thought he was phenomenal. I thought if 1015 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: Manny Diaz would have started him from week one, Manny 1016 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: Diaz might still be the coach. Was twenty four touchdowns, 1017 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: six and receptions as a true freshman, came in, showed 1018 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,879 Speaker 1: a lot of poise, a lot of composure. He's got 1019 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 1: a cannon. He's one of the guys I'm surprised hasn't 1020 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: been higher on some of these lists. I'm very bullish 1021 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,879 Speaker 1: on Tyler Van Dyke TVD. They're calling down there. Yeah, 1022 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: tv what TVD? TVD Tyler Van Dyke, Yeah, that sounds 1023 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: kind of cool, all right. And finally, Phil Jerkovic Boston 1024 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,319 Speaker 1: College Notre Dame Transfer UM six five looks the part 1025 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 1: the scout who put on him his man. If this 1026 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 1: guy can get out of his own head, he's gonna 1027 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,319 Speaker 1: be dynamite. But well, we'll see, what do you think 1028 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: of a Jerkovic if he could get out of his 1029 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: own head. But also, he was hurt last year. BC's 1030 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: gotta give him a little better support, and that's the 1031 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: one thing I concerned about him. BC doesn't have the 1032 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 1: type of talent that you know, a guy like Hey, 1033 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: William's gonna have a USC Bryce Young is gonna have 1034 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: an Alabama c. J. Stroud is gonna have at Ohio State. 1035 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: So that's my concern from him. But one of the 1036 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: reasons Jeff Hafley and BC have kind of tapped this 1037 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: thing turning around in large part is because of Phil 1038 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,880 Speaker 1: dr Kovic. He's got the physical skill set to go, 1039 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: is it to go totally toe with his as as 1040 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: well as anybody. BC's gotta give him a little bit 1041 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: of help around him so that he can show up 1042 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: on tape, not just be out there, because if you're 1043 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: five and seven, it's tough to catch the scout's eyes. 1044 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: You've gotta win a lot of times. All right. He's 1045 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: Danny Cannell, CBS Sports, good father, good husband. I mean 1046 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: I see this guy everywhere. He just golfer. How good 1047 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 1: of a golfer? Are you? By the way? Not bad? 1048 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: Not bad? Yeah, that's that's a humble guy. Now I'm 1049 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: not bad, you know.
