Speaker 2: Torres here in the LA Studios, not far from this

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: USC San Jose State Barnburner.

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: Jason Martin, what's going on, buddy? How you doing?

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: Mal I got football in front of me. I've had

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: it in front of me most of the day, outside

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: of when my family was celebrating my mother's seventy ninth birthday,

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: which was Happy Birthday, Mom. And of course I started

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: this day off with you because we did this exactly

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: twenty four hours ago when we were in for Jason

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Smith and Mike Carmon and had a blast. And now

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of things have happened that we were anticipating

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: and looking forward to Notre Dames. Played a game and

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: it actually counted, and there's stuff to talk about coming

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: from it. There's preseason stuff going on. We are in

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: that moment where this job becomes much less of a

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: job and almost like we get to play for four

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: hours and somehow earn a little bit while doing so.

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: So you mentioned Notre Dame before we even get to

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, as Desagre just told us there is a

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: and as I just said, I'm not far from the

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: La Coliseum where USC is playing San Jose State.

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: By the way, that's the game I'm watching. Well here's

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I have the back twelve network.

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Well I found it on the computer. So I don't

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: know what kind of a legal stress. I don't know

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: if I should be saying this on six hundred stations nationwide.

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to get in trouble here. I don't

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: want to get the bosses in trouble. But I have

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: the game on as well. USC up twenty one to fourteen,

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: early third Jason, I'll tell you the USC defense was

40
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: very much maligned this time last year, and of course

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: not you know, we read all the reports and we

42
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: heard all the quotes about how things are gonna be

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: different and all that stuff. Well, guess what, through a

44
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: half in change, San Jose State has fourteen points. USC

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: really lucky to be up in this game. One of

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: the touchdown passes by Caleb Williams was kind of a

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: broken play. It was a fumbled snap. He picked it up,

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: he ran around and credit to his wide receiver who

49
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: just kept on running, Taj Washington. But this game is

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: actually pretty competitive all things considered.

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: USC.

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: It's now a fourth down at midfield and USC appears

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: to be going for it.

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: Jason, you know it's week zero.

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: We're not gonna overreact, and it's early in the third quarter,

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: so we're definitely not gonna overreact as USC does convert

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: that third down or fourth down. Excuse me, but this

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: was a team we know they have the Rainning Heisman

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: Trophy winner. We know they're very talented, but we also

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: know that defense wasn't very good last year. We're not

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: supposed to overreact to week zero. Is it time to

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: overreact to this USC performance so far?

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: No, not at all. I think this is going to

64
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: finish like fifty six to twenty one. You can go

65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: ahead and mark that down right now. I also think

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: that this is week zero and stuff like this happens.

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: They don't look particularly sharp, but that's okay if they

68
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: get out with the victory and they're going to right now.

69
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: You know, they went four on fourth and three, like

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned. Now they're inside the red zone on the

71
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: eleven yard line. But in terms of the defense, there's

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: a larger question that needs to be asked here. It's

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: just like, first off, they made a play for on

74
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: the very first play of the game when San Jose

75
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: had the football, and the color analyst for the Pac

76
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: twelve nowhere immediately said, that's a play they don't make

77
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: last year. I'm easy there, fella. It's a first play

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: of the game and it was a tackle on a

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: complete pas I believe. And what are you trying to

80
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: tell me here that the defense is back? My biggest

81
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: my bigger concern is something that we can't really get

82
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: to based off this game, because again, if there's rusts,

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: there's rust. It's the very first time that some of

84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: these guys have been working on this field together and

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: everything else, But what Lincoln Riley team has ever had

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: a defense? That's the question. That's what we have to

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: watch during the course of the season. We know what

88
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: they're going to do offensively, because we know what Lincoln

89
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Rawley teams virtually always do offensively. Unfortunately, we also kind

90
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: of have a tight cast in terms of what he

91
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: does defensively or his teams do defensively. I should say,

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: so that is the only thing to watch. But you

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: do have a quarterback on the other side for San

94
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Jose State that they spent fifteen minutes prior to kick

95
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: off discussing starting forty nine games and men, you know,

96
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: if we're not sure tackling them, you know they're going

97
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: to move the ball on us. I heard Lincoln Riway

98
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: say that in an interview right before they on the field,

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: and we've seen a little bit of that. But I

100
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: think this thing probably gets out of hand pretty soon.

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: Well, we will see usc is in the red zone.

102
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: Third down. Yeah, they you know, I've watched most of

103
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: the game. They don't you know. Last year, I think

104
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: they scored fifty something points in their season opener, and

105
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: I know they had a couple defensive touchdowns all that,

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: but but they do not look sharp right now. But

107
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: they are in the red zone, and as you said,

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: you know, I will say this, Jason is it's Week zero,

109
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: and I do think that because there's no other game.

110
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 2: I mean, there are other games on, but this is

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: certainly the most high profile USC by the way, just

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: punched it in. They're up twenty seven fourteen extra point

113
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: pending early third quarter. You know, whenever you have a

114
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: Week zero game, this is the gift in the curse

115
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: of Week zero is there's just not much on, so

116
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: we rever we overreact to everything, especially if it's a

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: high profile team. So let's switch gears to the other

118
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: game today where the Notre Dame fighting Irish. They went

119
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 2: overseas to Ireland.

120
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Navy.

121
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: That one was not competitive at all, forty two to three.

122
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: The final score. Navy kicks a field goal with like

123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: under five minutes to go. Basically just a sad little

124
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: thing to get on the scoreboard, to not get shut out.

125
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: A dominant effort for Notre Dame. And I remember talking

126
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: last week, Jason, just with the stuff that we were cury.

127
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: You know, we did a couple segments on what we

128
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: were excited about for this season in college football, and

129
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: I remember us talking about, Hey, Notre Dame's got a

130
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: real quarterback, you know, Sam Hartman transfers in from Wake Forest.

131
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: He played there five years. Was one of these COVID

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: red shirt guys that has extra eligibility decides to take

133
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: a chance somewhere else. Well after throwing for thirty eight

134
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: touchdowns last year, thirty nine the year before, four touchdowns,

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty one yards, nineteen of twenty three passing,

136
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 2: and again, you don't want to overreact, but they looked

137
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: really good. And I'll tell you, for a program that

138
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: has been built on the run game and on defense,

139
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: and they really haven't had that difference maker at quarterback

140
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: for a really long time, this could be the guy

141
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: that they've been missing for quite sometime.

142
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: Jae, Yeah, he could be. And that's why, you know,

143
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: coming into the season, there was a lot to like

144
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame because one that could have gone so

145
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: much worse in Marcus Freeman's first year than it did.

146
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: And we both credited him a lot last season about

147
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: how they came around and he really started to find,

148
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, what we thought he was going to have

149
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: as a head coach, but we knew it might take

150
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of time, and it looks like it did.

151
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: But Hartman has proven. Hartman has thrown for a million

152
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: yards and a million touchdowns under Dave Class at Wake Forest.

153
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: The question was just going to be how wide open

154
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: was the offense going to be for Notre Dame. It

155
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: looked great today, it did. I didn't get to see

156
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: as much of that game as I would have liked

157
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: to have, but what I did see, they looked very good.

158
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I think my hesitation, other than just the fact again

159
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: it's a week zero and I'm not good, I refuse

160
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: to overreact, is I mean, it's Navy. They did exactly

161
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: what you should do to a team like that in

162
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: that situation. You beat him forty two to three, and

163
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: you move on to the next week. There's gonna be

164
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: plenty of opportunity to see how good you know USC

165
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: right now two touchdowns, how good they actually are when

166
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: they face some competition. And Notre Dame, of course, is

167
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: going to play its usual schedule, so there's going to

168
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: be some tough ballgames there where they're going to be

169
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: challenged a little bit. But all you can do is

170
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: play what's on their schedule, and forty two to three

171
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: is a really nice start for them. And Hartman definitely

172
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: looked like I mean, he looked like what you would

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: want him to look like if you're a Notre Dame fan,

174
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: considering what he was bringing with him and the talent

175
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: that he had and what he was able to accomplish

176
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: at Wake Forest in the.

177
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: Acc zeroed out, he looked really good and Notre Dame

178
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: looked really good. And you know, we talk about this

179
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: with all sorts of things on this show, Jason, but

180
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: I think sometimes we live in such a black and

181
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: white world from the perspective that everything has to be

182
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: one thing or the other. And so if you compliment

183
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, it automatically means, oh, well, you don't understand.

184
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: I mean, they played nay, did you not? Okay?

185
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: So Navy, now all of a sudden, this is supposed

186
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 2: to be. It's like no two things can be true.

187
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: Navy probably stinks that's okay. First year head coach for them,

188
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: if they if they were good last year, they wouldn't

189
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: have a first year head coach. But at the same time,

190
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: when you are a team Notre Dame, like you said,

191
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: they had some momentum late in the year. Remember they

192
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: started zero and two last year. They lost to Ohio

193
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: State in the opener, then they lost to Marshall at

194
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: home and the sky was falling, and then credit to

195
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman. I think they went nine into the rest

196
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: of the way, finished up with a nice Bowl win,

197
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: and really built some momentum. And so it's like, we

198
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: get that it's Navy, we get that it's not a

199
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: big deal. We get that we don't have to crown

200
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: them anything or hand them any trophy or whatever. But

201
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: in week zero, in week one, in week two, whatever

202
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: it is, early in the season, that's what you want

203
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: your team to look like like. If the alternative is

204
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: what USC looked like in the first half, which was

205
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: sleepwalk looking and disinterested, or Notre Dame completely taking control

206
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: and dominating a team that they're supposed to dominate, I'll

207
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: take the Notre Dame effort any day of the week.

208
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: Chase, Yeah, I think that the real positive, or the

209
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: biggest positive, is that on both sides, you had the

210
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: results you wanted. You put up forty two points, that's awesome,

211
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: but you also gave up three. So you had your

212
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: offense and your defense firing. Now we expected and we

213
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: have seen the Notre Dame defense in most cases step

214
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: up and make plays more often than not over this

215
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: last handful of years, and their intensity was probably going

216
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: to be a lot for Navy. The question for Notre

217
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Dame year after year after year is what are they

218
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: going to do offensively? And sometimes it gets real vanilla

219
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: and it gets real basic. Hartman might allow them to

220
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: open it up more. And I've just wanted to see

221
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: how creative or how aggressive they were willing to be offensively,

222
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: And this might have been a great proving ground just

223
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: to see, all right, let's get wide open here. We're

224
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: gonna win the game. Let's see what Sam could do

225
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: if we really give them the keys to this car.

226
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: And so far, so good for Notre Dame.

227
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: So far, so good for Notre Dame. They take care

228
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: of business forty two to three. First real big test

229
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: for Notre Dame will be in a couple weeks to

230
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: actually host Ohio State. I mentioned they played Ohio State

231
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: early last year. They played them November twenty third this year.

232
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: That's actually what week four? That's week four, so four

233
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: saturdays from now is the first big one. They do

234
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: play at NC State as well, but again Notre Dame

235
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: does exactly what you want them to do in their opener.

Speaker 2: still twenty eight to fourteen midway through the third quarter

267
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: to Sega. We'll get you updated on that one momentarily.

268
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: But Jason, do want to go to the NFL?

269
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: You know?

270
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: Final couple games of the NFL preseason also marked the

271
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: debut of our old buddy, Aaron Rodgers. That's right, Aaron

272
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: Rodgers played for a very brief time with the New

273
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: York Jets. We heard him talk about it this week.

274
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: He kind of went to Robert Solaz that I want

275
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: to play. I want to just get some game reps. Well,

276
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: he looked good in a very limited sample size, five

277
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: of eight passing forty seven yards, one touchdown pass to

278
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson.

279
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: You know, it's no different than weeks zero college football.

280
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: You don't want to overreact to forget the preseason, but

281
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: one series in the preseason, it was pretty cool to

282
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: see Aaron Rodgers out there the Jets of the Jets

283
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: did take care of business against the Giants.

284
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 3: Thirty two to twenty four was the final score there.

285
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, and again Aaron Rodgers doing all the right things.

286
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: In the offseason. He has seemingly been more dialed in

287
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: and more present. He has defended Nathaniel Hackett, he has

288
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: stood up and just kind of taken the reins and

289
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: it hasn't felt nearly as a loof like. It just

290
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: seems it seems different, and whether it's calculated or not,

291
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: I think it could work. Now. We're going to see

292
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: what it looks like once the season begins and once

293
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: the wins and losses begin to count. But just the

294
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: fact that he played a series in preseason and it

295
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: wasn't really a big deal and he didn't turn it

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: into a big deal. He just played the series and

297
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: then we move on with the rest of our lives

298
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: shows that there is something different about the approach that

299
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is taking as a New York Jet. In

300
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: comparison to the last few years in Green Bay, and

301
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: I do think, and we have mentioned this previously, not tonight,

302
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: but in previous shows that some of this is spite

303
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: towards Green Bay sure where it's Hey, you know, I

304
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: was capable of this, but man, I really didn't care

305
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: for you guys, like the way this started going down

306
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: the last three years or so. I was really kind

307
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: of out on you guys. So I did not make

308
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: this easy on you. It's very obviously, like watching it,

309
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: he is capable of, you know, just kind of playing

310
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: football and being a team guy. And the fact that

311
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: so many occasions we could point back to where that

312
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: might not have been the case in Green Bay tells

313
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: you all you need to know about how he felt

314
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: about that organization in the waning years of his time there.

315
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: So next hour, we're going to go through the entire NFC,

316
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: will go division by division, kind of make some picks

317
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: because this will be you know, we have two weeks

318
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: up before the start of the regular season. But I

319
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: do want to ask you about the AFC East because

320
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: I find it very interesting. Is obviously this is just

321
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: a broader AFC East conversation, but I know in theory,

322
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: all three of those teams at the top. If we

323
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: assume the Patriots are the worst team in the division,

324
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: I think most people do. The Bills, the Dolphins, and

325
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: the Jets. Somebody's got to lose games, and it certainly

326
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: can happen that all three make the playoffs, especially with

327
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: the extra wildcard the last few years. But but it

328
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: feels like one of them. Is it going to be

329
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: what we think they're going to be. Do you have

330
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: a feel for who that might be and what that

331
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: might look like if it goes sideways.

332
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the easy answer would be the Jets. The

333
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: savvy answer might well be the Bills because of you

334
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: know whatever. I don't know that I buy into any

335
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: of the stuff with Stefan Diggs that we've heard this week,

336
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: and we didn't talk about it at all last night,

337
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: which indicates we didn't really have much to say there.

338
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: But there's definitely been some warning signs just about that

339
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: team since the loss of Sincetie and how the offseason went.

340
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: The smartest answer to me is Miami, and it is

341
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: not because of the weapons. It's because of the health

342
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: of QB one. And even though I like McDaniel a

343
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: lot and I think that They've done a lot of

344
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: smart things down there. I am not comfortable in any

345
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: level of optimism regarding the Dolphins until I see Tutango

346
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: Vailoa make it through an NFL season without missing significant time,

347
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: because I don't think the backup scenarios are in place

348
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: there for them to deal with the level of AFC

349
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: that they're going to, you know, have to deal with.

350
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they could. Don't. I don't see a

351
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: world in which the Patriots don't finish last, even with

352
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, Zeke or whatever whatever else is that they

353
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: might try to pull. They'll be annoying to beat at

354
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: times because Belichick will coach that defense up and they

355
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: it'll just be difficult. But the Dolphins would be my

356
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: choice as most likely because of to his health and

357
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: just not trusting his body not to betray him yet

358
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: again or to take that one. We pray this doesn't

359
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: happen unfortunate hit where he has another concussion and then

360
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: he's out indefinitely or something like that. I just I

361
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: still am very concerned about his ability to escape or

362
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: avoid that.

363
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: So I actually happen to agree. By the way, Vanderbilt

364
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: just had a very nice interception in the end zone

365
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: Hawaii was driving interception, probably the play of the year

366
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: so far in college football.

367
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: But uh but.

368
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: Okay, so back to the AFC East, because I actually

369
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: agree with you one hundred percent is I think the

370
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: Dolphins are kind of like the least interesting team to

371
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: talk about because it feels like everyone has the same opinion,

372
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: which is the exact one that you shared, and it's

373
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: the right opinion, or I think it's the right opinion anyway,

374
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: which is that we know the skill position talent, but

375
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 2: we have big questions about the quarterback. But it feels

376
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: like because every but he has that opinion, and because

377
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: there isn't anything interesting to say that, it's like we

378
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 2: are just kind of like, oh, yeah, well, I mean

379
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, They're definitely gonna be there. It's interesting I'm

380
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: looking at them right now. And again, I know a

381
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: lot of this coincides with two of getting hurt, but

382
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: they start out three and oh last year, incredible start.

383
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: TWOA gets hurt the end of that Bills game, the

384
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: first concussion we know it's the Bengals game happens. That

385
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: is a very very very scary situation. Okay, I'm not

386
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: trying to undersell how scary it was. But here's why

387
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: I bring it up. For the rest of the season.

388
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: They start out three and oh their wins after that,

389
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: where the Pittsburgh Steelers at home, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears,

390
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, New York.

391
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 3: Jets, Lions got hot at the end of the year.

392
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 3: I get it.

393
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: Steelers last year, you know, nine to eight, finished in

394
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: the third in the AFC South. But it's not as

395
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: though they went through like they started eight and three

396
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: and everybody remembers that, and then they really struggled that

397
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: back half.

398
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 3: They didn't beat a lot of.

399
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: Great competition, and so this isn't a tear down the

400
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 2: Dolphins segment. But I guess the point that I'm trying

401
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: to get to is I just think there it just

402
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly why. My hunch is that there

403
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: really isn't an interesting take or angle to have on

404
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins. But I bring it up because I

405
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: just feel like no one is really talking about that.

406
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: They're talking about what happens if it all goes wrong

407
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 2: with the Jets, what happens if there is something going

408
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: on in that locker room with the Bills and Stefan

409
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: Diggs isn't happy and what does it mean? And it

410
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: just feels like there's no conversation about the Dolphins where

411
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: I do think I could see us look up in

412
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: Week four and they're one in three. Week five and

413
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: they're two and three. Week five and they're one and four.

414
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: I just think that it Again. I don't know why,

415
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: but it feels like not a lot of people have

416
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: really talked about that team in the offseason, other than say, oh, yeah,

417
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: the Dolphins there, they're definitely in the mix there the

418
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: top of the AFC.

419
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I just I think that there's a big

420
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: hit there, and I think that health is part of

421
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: it and the other thing. And you you sort of

422
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: alluded to this, but we often forget it when we

423
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: do predictions, and especially if you're going through the entire

424
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: league and you're saying, this team is gonna be this record,

425
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: this team's gonna be this record. Everybody can't go eleven

426
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: and six, exactly. They can't because math tells you there's

427
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna be some really bad football teams. There always are.

428
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: So if you're looking at a division, man, three of

429
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: these teams are really good. I can see the Jets

430
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: going twelve and five. I can see the Dolphins going

431
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: eleven and six. I can see the Bills going thirteen

432
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: and four. Probably not guys like that. That's just not

433
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: how math works. They're going to play each other and

434
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: there's gonna be games, even if they're good. There's probably

435
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna be close losses and things like that. It's tough

436
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: when you're making predictions because I think a lot of

437
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: times we overvalue teams looking at the record because it

438
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: seems insane to go, I think that team's going three

439
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: and fourteen, But guess what, somebody in the NFL is

440
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: probably going three and fourteen this year. It might be

441
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: your team. I don't know, but I know I've done

442
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: predictions in the past and have been called on the

443
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: carpet about it because they're just like, how many games

444
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: are these teams playing? Because if you do the math,

445
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: it's not possible for everybody to be over five hundred.

446
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: In fact, half the league is going to have pretty

447
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: ugly records once we get to the end of it.

448
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: So you're right, and I think that's the important point

449
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: to take away is one, if not two teams in

450
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: the AFC East are gonna be either bad, or mediocre.

451
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: And the question is is the third team, whoever wins

452
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: the division, is probably likely to be a pretty good

453
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: football team. But the team that finishes second, are they

454
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: a wildcard team or are they a disappointment? And that

455
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: is not a question we can answer until we actually

456
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: watch them play Dolphins.

457
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 2: By the way, three of their first four are on

458
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: the road, at the Chargers, at the Patriots, your Denver

459
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: Broncos at home their home opener not till September twenty fourth,

460
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: and then at Buffalo on October first.

461
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: So don't want to overreact, by the way, but we're

462
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: up twenty seven to nothing on the Rams.

463
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: Oh okays, Yeah, Well, we'll come back and discuss that

464
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: next but I'll tell you what before we do, let's

465
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: toss it over the news desk.

466
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,680

00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 4: bases loaded, walks, bases loaded, hit batter and a sackfly

521
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,320

529
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: last night show the shooting inside the Chicago White Sox Stadium.

530
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 4: Now the game preceded last night without interruption and Apparently

531
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: the shooting went unnoticed by most of the fans that

532
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 4: weren't sitting out in left center field. The team said

533
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 4: today the postgame concert that was scheduled, they canceled it,

534
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: not because of technical issues like they said at the time,

535
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: but because police in Chicago needed the lights on in

536
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 4: the stadium and needed the fans out of the area

537
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 4: to investigate.

538
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: All of this.

539
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 4: But two people were shot last night while attending a

540
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 4: White Sox game, and the details include a twenty six

541
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: year old woman grazed in the abdomen by gunfire. She

542
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 4: refused medical intention, but a forty two year old woman

543
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 4: was shot in the leg and was hospitalized in fair condition.

544
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 4: The team says there was no altercation involved any kind.

545
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 4: Security footage could not find any sort of disturbance before

546
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: the shooting, and it's unclear whether the shots were fired

547
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 4: from inside or from outside the White Sox ballpark.

548
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: Back to you, thank you very much, Steve the Seger.

549
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: That's a weird that's a weird story, Aaron and Steve, like,

550
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: that's a strange story. Like when we first we had

551
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: breaking news on that last night and we talked about

552
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: it and it was kind of strange. And now that

553
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: you're hearing more about it, it's still even more strange.

554
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: Like I'm us, it's like, well, how in the world

555
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: did they get that into the building? And that last

556
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: statement Steve just made, maybe it did come from outside

557
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: the place. If there's no footage that indicates anything was happening,

558
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: then I don't understand how it does happen. If it's

559
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: something that came from, you know, the Grassy Knoll or

560
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: something like that outside the White Sox ballpark, that would

561
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: make more sense to me. Or am I just spitballing here?

562
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I remember going back to last night

563
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: I seen remember to Seger it was as the game

564
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: was getting out, so I it was.

565
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: During the game. It was during the game they cleared

566
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: fans out of a few rows and made them go

567
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 4: to a different section for close to an hour, but

568
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 4: the game continued and people in other parts of the

569
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 4: park were completely unaware of what was happening. I do

570
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 4: remember at a USC practice once there was a bullet

571
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: from outside, you know where USC's campus is located downtown,

572
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 4: and it did fly into the practice area, into the campus.

573
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 4: And I know for a fact that other schools would

574
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 4: bring that up sometimes to other recruits, like if you

575
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: go to USC you know where you're going to be living.

576
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 4: That kind of thing. Any sort of negative recruiting possible.

577
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 4: It does happen. It doesn't mean necessarily there was a

578
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: gun in the ballpark last night in Chicago. They don't know.

579
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

580
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: And the other interesting part about that, and then we'll

581
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: get back to a little bit of football, is uh,

582
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: the other thing that was they canceled the There was

583
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 2: supposed to be the police put press conference and they

584
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: canceled it.

585
00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

586
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: So I know it's an ongoing police investillation.

587
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know they probably don't want to give

588
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: too much information out to the public, you know, if

589
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: there's an active shooter out there. But I found that

590
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: part interesting as well, that you call a press conference

591
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: and then cancel.

592
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 4: It, and that that happens inside and you don't notify

593
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: the fans during the game at all, and then you

594
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 4: cancel the concert and don't notify the fans at all,

595
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: and then when you finally give an explanation, you lie

596
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: to the fans as to why it's being canceled and

597
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 4: they're still were.

598
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: There to see Tone Mok last night. There's Loak and

599
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: Vanilla Ice and was it rob Base.

600
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he threw out the first pitch.

601
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: That's right.

602
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: Well, at least I got to see him do that.

603
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: Keep you updated.

604
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: It is a weird story though, the more, uh, the

605
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: more we dive into it. By the way, quick update

606
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: speaking of USC from the LA Coliseum, San Jose State

607
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: has scored again thirty five to twenty one.

608
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 4: So it is the defenses last year?

609
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, did well? Did you?

610
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: Was a great catch.

611
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: That's the best playof've seen in college football so far

612
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: this year, all eight hours of it.

613
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: Yes, fully extended to to himself. You can't really blame

614
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: the dB on that one. So but thirty five twenty one.

615
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: USC leads with about two minutes left in the third quarter. Jason,

616
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: really quick. You know one, I joked about the Denver

617
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: Broncos thing. Obviously no, Russell Wilson will probably skip that.

618
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: But you and I were in for four hours last

619
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: night for Jason Smith and Mike Harmon. If anybody missed it,

620
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: you go back down the podcast. But obviously we had

621
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: a ton of time. We came on right after that

622
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: Trey Lance trade became official twenty four hours later. You've

623
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: had some time to think about it. He is a

624
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: Dallas cowboy. Jerry Jones said earlier today he's almost certainly

625
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: not going to be playing this year. Any has anything

626
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: from your perspective changed as far as your.

627
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 3: Thoughts on the trade.

628
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: By the way, USC just returned the kickoff after the

629
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: touchdown for a score, so it is now forty one

630
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: to twenty one. USC extra point pending. San Jose State

631
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: had just scored a touchdown. USC takes the impending kickoff

632
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: twenty to four yas ninety four yards for a touchdown.

633
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: They are now up forty one to twenty one as

634
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 2: best I can see, no flags on the field. We'll

635
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: keep you updated on that one. But Jason, anything on

636
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: Trey Lance since last night, any perspective that has changed

637
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: in your opinion?

638
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I don't think there's anything that's going

639
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: to change when we got the news, uh not of

640
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: the tray, but when we got the news that Trey

641
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 1: Lance requested it, and then Kyle Shanahan said after the

642
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: preseason game last night, Yeah, he came to to say

643
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to a place where he could

644
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: have a legit shot to be a number two, which

645
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: which is kind of It's amazing to me that that's

646
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: he actually is in a place where he thinks that's

647
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: that's where he needs to be. And it seemed as

648
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: mutual as that could be for him and for the organization.

649
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: They felt good about the deal that they got. They

650
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: said there were some other teams that were also interested,

651
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: that a fourth rounder was a little better compensation than

652
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: they might have expected. Plus they got some important cap

653
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: relief because they were already way over the caps. That's

654
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna help him from money standpoint, if you believe in

655
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: the cap, of course, and he gets his fresh start.

656
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: I think it's probably a win for both sides at

657
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: this point, because you had to cut your losses at

658
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: some point if you were San Francisco. Once he drops

659
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: behind Sam Darnold on the depth chart, you recognize at

660
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: that point his time in San Francisco being relevance pretty

661
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: much over because they don't see a scenario in which

662
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: he's the next best option after Brock Purdy to come

663
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: in and win football games. And for Dallas, it's a

664
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: very low risk, which you said this last Night's it's

665
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: very low risk, high reward, and it's not. I don't

666
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: it's at all the scenario where Dak Prescott needs to

667
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: be worried. It's basically over the next couple of years,

668
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: sitting behind Dak and maybe having to spell him here

669
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: and there, and maybe he can take over for Cooper

670
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: Rush and be the primary backup. But he's gonna get

671
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: more snaps if he can do that. He learns behind Dak,

672
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: who also has dealt with a similar injury and coming

673
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: back from it everything else, then perhaps he becomes an

674
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: asset that they can trade and move and get something

675
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: for in a year or two, and it gives Trey

676
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: Lance an opportunity to maybe get it get a starting

677
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: job in the league. You never know. It depends on

678
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: how he develops. He's still super young. He was raw

679
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: and he wasn't ready and it's unfortunate how it went down.

680
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: But I think we're all rooting right now for a

681
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: real happy ending to the Trey Lance saga.

682
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we got a little bit of pushback last

683
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: Oh how come you aren't talking about how bad of

684
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: a trade it was to trade all those picks for

685
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: Traie Lance. It's like it was bad, but the forty

686
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: nine ers thought they were quarterback away at the time.

687
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: They couldn't trust Jimmy Garoppolo, which they were actually proven correct,

688
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: and they by the way, they probably took the wrong guy. Respectfully,

689
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: we don't know what mac Jones is gonna be. We

690
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: don't know what Justin Fields is going to be. And

691
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: so you know, it's like it wasn't a great trade.

692
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: He traded a bunch of future draft capital to move

693
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: up to get that pick. It didn't work out, but

694
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: you know, and we talked about this last time too,

695
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 2: is like you can't credit them for like, well, I mean,

696
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: they recovered nicely with Rock Purty.

697
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: It's like, no that I'm not gonna listen to.

698
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 2: Yes, but like the idea that we you know, and

699
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: this was all last night, and so I don't want

700
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: to dismiss the fact that they did give up a

701
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: lot of draft capital for him. It doesn't change the

702
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 2: fact that it happens. He's in Dallas and a bad

703
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: situation for both sides. I think has a pretty good

704
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: resolution because the forty nine ers is probably pretty set

705
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: a quarterback here for the foreseeable.

706
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: Future, and Trey Lance gets a fresh start.

741
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: the end of the hour, Jason. A little bit of

742
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: a serious one. But it's serious.

743
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 3: But I don't I don't know how serious it is is. Uh,

744
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 3: you know, we we we lost a legend today, Jason,

745
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: Bob Barker of course, ninety nine years old.

746
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

747
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 2: And there is a sports twist too. Yeah. The sports

748
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 2: twist is, of course, he had one of the iconic

749
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: cameos in any sports movie ever. Of course, that was

750
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: Happy Gilmore. We all know his famous line. We won't

751
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: say it on t on air. We might get in

752
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: trouble here. You know, I don't know what the FCC

753
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: would think about that. You can say the price is wrong, yeah,

754
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: the price is wrong. Uh yeah, And then everybody who's

755
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: seen Happy Gilmour, which is literally everybody listening probably uh,

756
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: but yeah, one of the great iconic sports sports movie

757
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 2: cameos of all time, and he passed away at ninety nine.

758
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: So it's sad, but you know, he lived a very

759
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 3: the price is wrong.

760
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: He lived a very fulfilling life. And yeah, I just

761
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to get it in. I just wanted to

762
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: get it in. You know, he is an icon. I

763
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: think we all kind of grew up watching The Prices

764
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: right when you were at home sick and all that stuff.

765
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you have anything beyond that

766
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: on Bob Barker, but one of the great cameos in

767
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: the history of sports movies. And yeah, he passed away

768
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: earlier today at ninety nine years so just see, he was.

769
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: Great on TV, and he is somebody that we all

770
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: grew up with. Certainly not everything about him was wonderful,

771
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: and there were challenges like there are with anybody, especially

772
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: if you lived in ninety nine. Chances are if you've

773
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: been in the public eye, there have been some things there.

774
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: But the Happy Gilmore thing is legendary more than anything.

775
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 1: It's just, with all due respect, everything that's come since.

776
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you just don't replace Bob Barker, whatever they

777
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: do with Jeopardy. You're not going to replace Alex Trebek.

778
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: Once Pat Sajack leaves Wheel Fortune at the end of

779
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: this year, whoever gets that gig, it's not going to

780
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: be the same as it was with Pat Sajak. There

781
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: are some hosts that are synonymous with what they do,

782
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: especially games show hosts that were you know, I mean,

783
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: that was an icon, that was an institution. The Price

784
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: is Right was more than a game show. It really

785
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: was part of people's morning. If I was at my grandparents'

786
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: house during the summer, Price is Right was on. If

787
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: I was sick, like you mentioned, Price is Right, all

788
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: of those things were relevant. And Bob Barker was so

789
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, he was larger than life in so

790
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: many ways, the way he reacted to the contestants, and

791
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: there was a there was a genuine nature too. He

792
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: just knew how to be a showman when the time came.

793
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's a lost art to some degree.

794
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: But he was super He was just super influential, I'm

795
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: sure to many people that have come since. And I

796
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: always think about anytime I think about a pet being

797
00:38:58,920 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: spade or.

798
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 3: Nude about that. You just walk more more.

799
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: Often than you. No, no, no, no, not at all.

800
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: And then I immediately thought, you know, he was ninety nine,

801
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: so he was so close to a dollar. Yes, that

802
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: was so very close to a dollar. I'm not on

803
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: social media pretty much, but I imagine that joke was

804
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: made a million times. It came up in my head,

805
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: and I had told my wife, promised her as a

806
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: matter of fact, that I would not say it on air,

807
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: and uh well.

808
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 3: Well too late.

809
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: Now here it goes.

810
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 2: No, that was a pretty common refrain. He got right

811
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 2: up to the edge without going over. So credit to

812
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: Bob Barker, but yeah, he you know, listen again, you

813
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: know the sports ties are a little bit loose, but

814
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: again the iconic moment in Happy Gilmore and yeah, I

815
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: just I think it's somebody, you know, I think, especially

816
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: as we go on in like society, it's it's just

817
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: a more fragmented thing, more fragmented thing where we don't

818
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 2: where we don't all share the same experiences.

819
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 3: We watch Netflix, we do this, we do that. Everybody

820
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: watched the Prices saga, the other sports.

821
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: Tie and reading the oh bit.

822
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 4: Not only was the man born almost one hundred years ago,

823
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: he said he didn't imagine a TV career. He wanted

824
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 4: to pitch for the Saint Louis Cardinals. He said, that

825
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 4: was my dream. The only thing that prevented it was

826
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 4: a total lack of talent.

827
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: So all he got to do was golf. He got

828
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: to putt on television.

829
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say he definitely found his calling

830
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: because he was great at what he did. But yeahs

831
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: as everything gets more fragmented, it's just you know, I think,

832
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: you know, twenty five years from now, people are gonna

833
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 2: have fewer and fewer shared experiences. And so Bob Barker synonymous,

834
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: prices rights, synonymous, being a kid staying home. You know

835
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: you mentioned your grandparents, same with me and my grandparents

836
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: as well. Rest in peace, Bob Barker, ninety nine years old.

849
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 2: of the college football is final for the day and

850
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 2: USC Jason is unofficially final. There's nine minutes left. They're

851
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 2: up forty nine to twenty one. Caleb Williams has already

852
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 2: been pulled from the game. Miller Moss, the backup is

853
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 2: in at the LA Coliseum. So it appears as though

854
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, the debut and what is almost certainly his

855
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 2: final season at USC, is complete. Caleb Williams and the

856
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 2: USC Trojans up forty nine to thirty one. Caleb Williams

857
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: final stat line, if he is indeed done, eighteen of

858
00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: twenty five, four touchdowns, two hundred seven eight yards, almost

859
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 2: identical to my guy Sam Hartman.

860
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: Who was eighteen of twenty. I think it was seven.

861
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: I think it was nineteen to twenty three, maybe two

862
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty one yards four touchdowns, but two really

863
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 2: good quarterback performances today Jason. Caleb Williams appears to be done.

864
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: Sam Hartman is done as well. We got to talk

865
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 2: some NFL Jason, but with Caleb Williams out for the game.

866
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: Any final thoughts on this USC game, as it appears

867
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 2: as though Lincoln Rally's comfortable with the lead at the

868
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 2: LA Coliseum.

869
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: No, I mean, like I told you, this is pretty

870
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: much what you would anticipate. They kind of came out,

871
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: it was a little bit flat. They'll round into form.

872
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: You look at their schedule. I mean, it's gonna be

873
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: interesting when they play Colorado, because I'll be because everything's

874
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting that Colorado does. And I think that's

875
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: September thirtieth, But that game with Notre Dame is like

876
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: week six and until then, you look at the rest

877
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: of the schedule and there's nothing that should even challenge

878
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: them up until that point, Like any loss that came

879
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: before that would be catastrophic and I just don't see it.

880
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: So you've got time to get your defense prepared. That'll

881
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: be sort of the proving ground for USC, especially on

882
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: the defensive side. And if Notre Dame is going to

883
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: be more prolific, especially throwing the football from the quarterback spot.

884
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: With what Sam Hartman is able to bring, then that

885
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: becomes a really really interesting matchup around week six, somewhere

886
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood of the season. But it is a

887
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: very light schedule for sc UP until that game.

888
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, as we mentioned, the back half is pretty brutal.

889
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 2: Final six games at Notre Dame, Utah at home, Washington

890
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 2: at home at Oregon, and then UCLA at home. Four

891
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 2: of those teams are ranked in the top twenty to

892
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,959
Speaker 2: start the year. Two of those games are on the road,

893
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: Ucla just outside the top twenty five. USC though appears

894
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 2: to be in good shape again. Caleb Williams has been

895
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 2: pulled in the fourth quarter, USC up forty nine to

896
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 2: twenty one, eight minutes left. If anything gets crazy there,

897
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 2: we will get back to that game. But Jason College

898
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: Football starts today. It goes without saying the NFL we

899
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 2: are not very far away from obviously next thursd not

900
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: this coming Thursday, but the following one. We will get

901
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: the opener of course, Thursday Night Football Kansas City hosting

902
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 2: Chris Purfets Detroit Lions, and what I want to do

903
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: Jason is over this hour, and we'll do this again

904
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: next week for the AFC. But I want to talk,

905
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: so I just want to talk NFC. I just let's

906
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: just talk teams, divisions, what you like, what you don't like,

907
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 2: all that good stuff.

908
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: We set this away at Airway and we set this

909
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: up because we get the NFC this week, we get

910
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: the AFC next week, and then before we're on air again,

911
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: the NFL season will begun. So this is these two previews.

912
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: Once you hear next week's preview, and of course we'll

913
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of college football as well, plus the

914
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: AFC preview. But after that, it's batten down hatches time

915
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: because we are just a couple of weeks away from

916
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: the regular season. The preseason is coming to an end

917
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: this weekend, and before you know it, there's gonna be

918
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: football played at all levels in this country where the

919
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: wins and losses count.

920
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 2: Yes, and we are a show of record. We're gonna

921
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: put all of our thoughts on the record. We'll do

922
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: our college football playoff picks in the next hour, so

923
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 2: none of this, you know, dancing around and we claim,

924
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 2: we claim in February that we picked four different teams

925
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl. So whoever wins, we end

926
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 2: up looking good. So let's get to it. Let's get

927
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 2: a little music. Let's start with what I would deem

928
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: to be. I don't know if it's the most interesting

929
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 2: division in the NFC, but let's start with the NFC East. Obviously,

930
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 2: the reigning NFC champs, the Philadelphia Eagles are here, the

931
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys with their new backup quarterback Trey Lance, and

932
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: of course the New York Football Giants coming off of

933
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: a year where they not only made the playoffs but

934
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: won a divisional round game, and of course, also in

935
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 2: that division Washington new ownership craziness in that division.

936
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 3: Let me let me just ask you.

937
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: Most interesting storyline from your perspective in the NFC East

938
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: is what Jason.

939
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would probably say, Dak.

940
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say Dak. I'm gonna say, what is

941
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy gonna bring to Washington. I think you

942
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: could go with a number of different things, but Washington

943
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: intrigues me. It really does. And you know, Sam Howell

944
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: was touted a lot until he had a bad final

945
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: season for a pretty mediocre North Carolina team, and then

946
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: everybody was off that train and now here we go.

947
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: You just want to see what the fire of Eric

948
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: B enemy sort of, you know, he's bristled a little

949
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: bit and some of the guys have gone to Rivera

950
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: and we had that whole story a few weeks ago.

951
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: But I liked it. I defended the enemy there, and

952
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: I thought, that's exactly what you need if you're a

953
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: bad football team, is somebody to come in and say, man,

954
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: you guys aren't very good. It's time to get serious

955
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: and stop screwing around. I am intrigued to see what

956
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: Washington does this year.

957
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question.

958
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: I was out that week that that whole story broke.

959
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: What did you make of that b enemy Ron Rivera? Oh,

960
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: they came to me, and then day later he had

961
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: to apologize. I know Arnie was in with you. What

962
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: did you How did you guys address that?

963
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: Well, we disagreed, big shock. No, that's a giant surprise.

964
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: He basically said that he thought, then we need to

965
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,919
Speaker 1: kind of fall in line, and I thought the opposite.

966
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 9: Ye.

967
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: I feel like, if you're Eric B. Enemy and you

968
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: were coming from the place that you are coming from,

969
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna walk in and you're probably gonna see a

970
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: culture that reflects mediocrity. Sure, and so he comes in

971
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: with a lot of I mean, he's got a nice

972
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: track record of what he's been able to do with

973
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: an offense. If he comes in and he's super intense

974
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: and a criticism from the team coming to Rivera's man,

975
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: he's picking us, he's coming at us too hard, he's

976
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: practicing us too hard. The response would be, well, good,

977
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: you guys aren't very good. Like that's what you anticipate.

978
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: When Nick Saban came to Alabama, the practicing changed, the

979
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: ideas and the way things were done changed. Same thing

980
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: with Brian Kelly at LSU. That's the whole reason you

981
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: bring in a guy like Eric b enemy is because

982
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: of his track record of success, and when you don't

983
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: have one, he doesn't assimilate to you, you should assimilate

984
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: to him. So I was one thousand percent in Eric

985
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: Biennemy's quarter on that one.

986
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll try to be quick on this. So I

987
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 3: agree with what you said.

988
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 2: I also I think it felt like a little bit

989
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 2: of a Ron Rivera. Hey, if things go wrong, it's

990
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: not my fault, like it almost reminded me of And

991
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: it's not apples to apples, but like, you know, the

992
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: big conversation about Texas A and M this year is like, oh,

993
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, what if Jimbo Fisher doesn't want

994
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: to And it feels like Ron Rivera was kind of

995
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: forced to bring in somebody to you know, spruce up

996
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: the offense and obviously listen when out got the biggest

997
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: name that you possibly could. And I don't know, just

998
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: it all felt weird, But we will see what that

999
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 2: offense looks like. I'll switch gears and I'll say I

1000
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: actually think the most interesting story in that division, as

1001
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 2: weird as it sounds, I think it's the Philadelphia Eagles's call. Yeah,

1002
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: I mean because on paper, I mean, I think they

1003
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 2: have the most complete team in not only the NFC,

1004
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: in the NFC, I think you can argue top to

1005
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 2: bottom if you include that defense, maybe the most complete

1006
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 2: team in the NFL. Now, Jalen Hurts, his upside isn't

1007
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. The offense's upside isn't what the Kansas City

1008
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs upside is. But at the same time, we saw

1009
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 2: him go toe for toe with those Chiefs in the

1010
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl last year. Well, now you've lost both coordinators. Now,

1011
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts isn't sneaking up on anybody. You take a risky,

1012
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 2: high upside, high reward first round picking Jalen Carter, I'm not.

1013
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 2: You know, the reason Philly took him was because they

1014
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: believe they have the infrastructure in place to keep him

1015
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: in place. But that's what's interesting to me. I could

1016
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 2: see them going, you know, fourteen and three, getting the

1017
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 2: number one scene and being right back in the Super

1018
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 2: Bowl this year.

1019
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 3: I don't know that I could see it.

1020
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: Completely falling apart, barring like unforeseen injury, which obviously no

1021
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 2: one can predict.

1022
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 3: I can't see it completely falling apart.

1023
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 2: But I do think like there's a lot of people

1024
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 2: that that because of what the NFC looks like, it's

1025
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 2: just like, well, I mean, the Eagles are you know whatever,

1026
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 2: and I could see it go to a little sideways

1027
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 2: for them.

1028
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 3: What do you make of the Eagles?

1029
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that I'm not as worried about

1030
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: Gannon leaving as I am about Stiking, and that's and

1031
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: only because of how well he meshed with Jalen Hurts.

1032
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: And if you're an Eagles fan, you just you have

1033
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: to sort of be wary of was it Sirianni or

1034
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: was it Stiking. In terms of the defense, I think

1035
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be about where they were. I don't think

1036
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: they're going to be demonstrably worse. But on offense, you

1037
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: just don't want to change up the success that you

1038
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: were having with Jalen Hurts. It's the same kind of

1039
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: thing with Buffalo when Brian Dable leaves and now it's

1040
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey. He's familiar with Ken Dorsey, he meaning Josh Allen,

1041
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: but maybe it's not quite the same. And that's sort

1042
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: of the danger is Hurts was very comfortable that offense

1043
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: was rocking and rolling, and now the reason why the

1044
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: cole hired him is because they believe, or they're certainly

1045
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: banking on the idea that a lot of what Hurts

1046
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 1: was able to do was because of what Stiking enabled

1047
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: him to do, similar to what Dable got out of

1048
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones this past season. So that's really the part

1049
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: of it that would concern me is what does the

1050
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: departure of Shane Stiken mean for the continuing development of

1051
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: a superstar quarterback in jayhen Hurds.

1052
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to it. Give me your NFC

1053
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 2: East pick. I mean, it's probably what a lot of

1054
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: people's are. But what is your NFC East pick.

1055
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: It's still the Eagles. I mean, I agree with you,

1056
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: and we talked about this throughout the offseason. I just think,

1057
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Washington is going to be a work in progress.

1058
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: I am interested to see them. As I mentioned, Dallas

1059
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be Dallas. They're gonna be all right. I

1060
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be great. And the Giants, I

1061
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: think definitely take a step back because the version of

1062
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones you got last year to me is about

1063
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: the ceiling for what you can get, and that's not terrible.

1064
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: But it's also not a super Bowl. So give me Philadelphia.

1065
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go Philadelphia as well. By the way

1066
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 2: we are, we have to be the first radio segment

1067
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: in the history of sports talk radio to go deep

1068
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: dive on the NFC East without talking cowboys. So if

1069
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 2: you want cowboys talk, you can literally listen to any

1070
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: other radio show in America because there is plenty. I'm

1071
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 2: with Jason, I like the Eagles to win this division.

1072
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: As I said, I think top to bottom, they may

1073
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 2: be the most talented roster in the NFL. Tell you what, Jason,

1074
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 2: we will come back and we will look at the

1075
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 2: NFC North. We'll bring in Chris Purfet, our NFC North

1076
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 2: guru of course, hosting a Detroit Lions podcast that will

1077
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 2: be next. We both picked the Eagles in the NFC East.

1078
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 2: Should mention by the way, BETMGM football fans be sure

1079
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 2: to tune into Fox Sports Radio every Saturday and Sunday

1080
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 2: morning three hours before kickoff or Countdown to Kickoff, presented

1081
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: by as I just said, BETMGM. They'll have you covered

1082
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 2: right before all of the Saturday and Sunday games all

1083
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,920

00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: we will preview the the AFC. Excuse me, so I

1100
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 2: want to switch gears Jason to the NFC North. We'll

1101
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 2: bring Chrisen in a minute. But let's I'm gonna start

1102
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 2: right where we started with the NFC East.

1103
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 3: I think I know where you're gonna go with this.

1104
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 2: But when I say NFC North, what is the most

1105
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 2: interesting story to you in that division? I know where

1106
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 2: you're going, but I'll see you up anyway.

1107
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: It's green Bay, Yes, I mean it just is. What

1108
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: are they going to be post Aaron Rodgers. What is

1109
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: Jordan Love actually going to do when the games begin

1110
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: to count? And then we don't just listen to what

1111
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: other people around Green Bay that are hyping him up

1112
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: have to say, like we actually get to watch him

1113
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: play football. The vikings to me are not very interesting.

1114
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: There are some intriguing things around to the Bears. You

1115
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: want to see what Fields is going to do this year.

1116
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: They have a little bit extra now with DJ Moore

1117
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: there and a couple of other things. But even if

1118
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: they're better, how much better are they going to be?

1119
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: And I really like the Lions, as do many, But

1120
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: the most interesting storyline has to be Green Bay by

1121
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: a mile.

1122
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 2: So I remember asking you like a month ago, just

1123
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: in the NFL what you thought the most interesting storyline was,

1124
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 2: and you said, Jordan Love and Green Bay. You know, Listen,

1125
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 2: I agree. I think from from my perspective, it's certainly

1126
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 2: the most interesting. And I think the other thing that's

1127
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 2: fascinating about it is obviously like this is so different

1128
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 2: than all this other quarterback stuff. Last night when we

1129
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: were filling in for Jason and Mike, we talked a

1130
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 2: ton about Trey Lance, why it didn't work, who's to

1131
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 2: blame all that good stuff?

1132
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: You know.

1133
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 2: We've talked Bryce Young, We've talked CJ. Stroud, We've certainly

1134
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 2: talked to Anthony Richardson. This is year four for Jordan Love,

1135
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: you know, and it's like at a certain point you

1136
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 2: just like it's either gonna work or it isn't. And

1137
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 2: so when I look at this Jordan love thing, it's like, okay,

1138
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 2: like we got to figure out are you the guy?

1139
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 3: Are you not the guy?

1140
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 2: His leash isn't gonna be as long as say a Anthe.

1141
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 2: I mean it goes without saying I'm not breaking news here,

1142
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: but his leash is not gonna be as long as

1143
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: an Anthony Richardson, as a Bryce Young. It's gonna be like, Okay,

1144
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 2: if you're not performing, if you're not living up to

1145
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 2: what we need you to be, We're gonna have to

1146
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: make decisions here pretty quick. And again this is also

1147
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 2: for an organization that has had a ton of success,

1148
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 2: no real downturn over the last uh over the last

1149
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 2: couple decades, even dating back pre Aaron Rodgers, obviously with

1150
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: Brett Farvre. Really quickly before we get to Chris, I

1151
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 2: know Chris will have some good stuff on the Lion.

1152
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: So I'll just say I am fascinated by the Bears, uh.

1153
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 2: And it's for all the reasons that everybody else is,

1154
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 2: and it's kind of a lot for a lot of

1155
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 2: the reasons that I just mentioned a minute ago. With

1156
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,439
Speaker 2: the with the Green Bay Packers, it's that it's kind

1157
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 2: of go time.

1158
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 3: For Justin Fields.

1159
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 2: Now he's entering year three, it's a little bit different,

1160
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: but he has a little bit more help around him.

1161
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 2: And you just can't be terrible, right you just like

1162
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 2: like you're either the guy, you're not the guy. You know,

1163
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 2: guys in your draft class are emerging like Trevor Lawrence.

1164
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 2: Guys are obviously falling back like like Trey Lance. And

1165
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: obviously in the past there hasn't been as much around him.

1166
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 2: But credit to the Chicago Bears, who in the offseason

1167
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 2: they went out and got some weapons. Obviously in the

1168
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 2: first round of the draft, they took an offensive tackle

1169
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 2: Darnell Right from Tennessee, so they're starting to build a

1170
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 2: team around him. And I love when teams go ahead

1171
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: and do exactly what the Lions, what the Bears excuse me,

1172
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 2: have done, which is said, Okay, we think you're the guy.

1173
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 2: We're not sure, but we're gonna put you in position

1174
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 2: to have success. We're gonna give you every tool in

1175
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 2: the toolbox and it's up to you to deliver. Do

1176
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 2: want to bring in our board op here Chris Purfett.

1177
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 2: Chris Purfett, of course, hosts The Pride of Detroit podcast,

1178
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 2: a crazy popular Detroit Lions podcast. Knows more about the

1179
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: Lions than anybody I know, probably more about anybody, probably

1180
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 2: knows more about this division than anybody I know. Chris,

1181
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, we could go in whatever direction you want.

1182
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 2: You don't have to go Lions, but obviously that's the

1183
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 2: area that you cover quite a bit. What do you

1184
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 2: make of this division? Then, obviously what do you make

1185
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 2: of where your team fits into it.

1186
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 10: Well, before we get into the Lions, I will say

1187
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 10: this on the point of Green Bay, I think Christian

1188
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 10: Watson is boys to be a real star for that team.

1189
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 10: He's already been fantastic this preseason. I think he'll shine

1190
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 10: pretty well for most of this for most of the

1191
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 10: season coming up, and he's definitely the help that Jordan

1192
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 10: Love is going to need.

1193
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm not really sold on the Bears.

1194
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 10: I think Justin Fields needs to do a lot, as

1195
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 10: he said, but not really much there. For the Detroit Lions,

1196
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 10: It's ultimately going to come down to were your fix

1197
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 10: ups on the defense successful? They were top ten defense

1198
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 10: last year, but one of the worst in the league.

1199
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 10: I mean top ten offense excuse me in the league

1200
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 10: last year. One of the worst in the league in defense.

1201
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 10: Now they patch up a lot of that late in

1202
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 10: the year. They had the interceptions against Green Bay to

1203
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 10: finish out things Kirby Joseph, But this is something they

1204
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 10: put a lot of draft capital into, drafting Brian Branch

1205
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 10: and Jack Campbell. It's relying on a lot of young

1206
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 10: pieces like Aiden Hutchinson, but ultimately it's on Jared Goff.

1207
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 10: Jared Goff has a lot of expectations on his shoulders.

1208
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 10: Now he has a lot of weapons. It is a

1209
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 10: tall ask and I understand why people are kind of

1210
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 10: hesitant to pick the Lions, but I see them winning

1211
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 10: this division. And I'm not saying that being a Lions

1212
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 10: fans or anything else. But you've got the Green Bay

1213
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 10: on a down year. You've got the Vikings who were

1214
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 10: incredibly lucky last year and spend a lot of their

1215
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 10: time in one score games. Always comes back to bite

1216
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 10: them right and lost a bunch of pieces on their defense.

1217
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 10: I don't see this. It would have to take some

1218
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 10: surprise for Green Baby, but I've got this vision probably

1219
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:29,439
Speaker 10: like Lions first, Green Bay, second, Vikings, then Bears really quick.

1220
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 2: Jason, Before we get to our predictions, do you agree

1221
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: with Chris's analysis, and not on the Lions, but on

1222
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 2: the Vikings. I find the Vikings so interesting. It's almost

1223
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 2: like what we said earlier with whoever we were talking about.

1224
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 2: I think we were talking about the Miami Dolphins, right,

1225
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 2: We're saying everybody has the same opinion on Miami, and

1226
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 2: it's probably the right one, but it feels like nobody's

1227
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 2: talking about them because everybody's opinion is the same. In

1228
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 2: the case of the Dolphins, it's if Tua stays healthy,

1229
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 2: does to and not stay healthy. And I think with

1230
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings, what Chris said is absolutely right, and

1231
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 2: it's my opinion as well. They won a lot of

1232
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 2: close games last year, credit to them history and statistics

1233
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 2: and everybody knows. I'm not an analytics guy, but like

1234
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: the analytics tell you, you win a lot of close

1235
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: games one year, you're probably gonna regress the next year.

1236
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: So to me, all of a sudden that thirteen and

1237
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 2: four looks a lot different this year. I know it's

1238
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 2: like a very basic take, but that's kind of my

1239
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 2: take on the Vikings as well.

1240
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't think there is another real

1241
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: take to have. I mean, they had negative point differential

1242
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,479
Speaker 1: last year, that doesn't happen. With the record that they had,

1243
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: they were beyond fortunate. That's just not a thing that

1244
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: you can count on happening ever again, much less the

1245
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: next year. After the fact. They've got Justin Jefferson. He's

1246
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the NFL. Cousins is going to

1247
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: give you what Cousins gives you. You don't have Dalvin Cooks,

1248
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: so that place is more on Madison. You don't have

1249
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: theeoing anymore, but you have you know, you've retooled there

1250
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: a bit. But I thought the biggest problem for the

1251
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Vikings last year was their defense was old and slow,

1252
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: and I don't think they address that particularly well. I

1253
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: just I could easily see them being like a nine

1254
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: to eight kind of team somewhere in that neighborhood. I

1255
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: don't know that I would say they'd be worse than that,

1256
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: but if they were to finish third in this division

1257
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me at all.

1258
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 2: All Right, let's get to it. What is your division

1259
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 2: pick for the NFC North.

1260
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: It's Detroit, I mean it is. I go with Chris

1261
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: Perffett when it comes to NFC North talk. But I

1262
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: believe in the Lions I thought what we saw last

1263
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: year was the beginning of something, not a fluke. I'm

1264
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: not picking them to win the Super Bowl or anything

1265
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: like that. I think there is probably a ceiling to

1266
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: what they can do. But I think that ceiling includes

1267
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: another trip to the playoffs and a division crown. There's

1268
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: just too many question marks for the Jordan Love led

1269
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. We've already discussed skepticism about the Vikings

1270
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: and the Bears, even if they're better, are gonna be

1271
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: like a five to six win team. I would think

1272
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: that's probably about the ceiling for what they can do.

1273
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 1: So give me Detroit all day, and I feel comfortable

1274
01:01:59,440 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: with it.

1275
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 10: I feel confidence saying this is not going to be

1276
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 10: a good division this year. I can see the Lions

1277
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 10: winning this division with just ten wins. Yeah, I'm actually

1278
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 10: in agreement with both of you. Is I don't know

1279
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 10: there's anything more to add. Like, I think they have

1280
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 10: the highest upside. I think they have the fewest questions.

1281
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 2: I'll say this, Chris, your boys better do it this

1282
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 2: year because, as you said, the Packers, we don't even

1283
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: we don't even know what Jordan Love is, the Vikings,

1284
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 2: none of us are really buying the Vikings and the Bears.

1285
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 2: Maybe they're onto something, but they're still probably at least

1286
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: a year away.

1287
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 3: You guys better do it this year.

1288
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 10: I got to give credit to Dan Camblell as far

1289
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 10: as the culture he's brought, but like, yeah, I agree,

1290
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 10: Like at some point I don't. It's I know some

1291
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 10: people were thinking he was on the hot seat last

1292
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 10: year because of how they started. I don't even think

1293
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 10: he'd be on a hot seat this year. But at

1294
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 10: some point, the the promises, the sound bites and everything

1295
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 10: they do have to start to pay off. I think,

1296
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 10: to Jason's point, I don't think Lions fans are really

1297
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 10: anticipating Super Bowl except in some wild dreams. You just

1298
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 10: want to get into the playoffs. And I want to

1299
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 10: win a playoff game for the first time since the

1300
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 10: early nineteen nineties, like thirty years of waiting for a

1301
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 10: playoff win, and that's all I think people in Detroit

1302
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 10: hope for the.

1303
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, look, I think I think it eventually. It

1304
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: has to go. Eventually, you have to evolve past being

1305
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: a cute little story. Yeah. Agree, Hey, the Detroit line

1306
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: and they're being built. It can't be that anymore.

1307
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 10: And their front office is being built for longevity. They're

1308
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 10: not trying to you know, go FM picks like the Rams.

1309
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 10: They want to build something that's going to last, not

1310
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 10: just for a short window, but for you know, multiple years,

1311
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 10: like someone like the Steelers. But that has to be

1312
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 10: paid off at some point. You got to give it

1313
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 10: a shot in the arm at some point.

1314
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 2: And that was the last thing I was going to

1315
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 2: say on Dan Campbell is you know, I think we

1316
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 2: get so caught up in the ya rah rah all

1317
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 2: this that. And I know he's not the sole talent evaluator.

1318
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 2: They have hit on a lot of draft picks. I mean,

1319
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson's awesome. Pay Sewell pinay Sewell speaks for himself.

1320
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, Brad Holmes, the GM came from the Los Angeles Rams,

1321
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 10: their college talent evaluator, and he's been absolutely phenomenal in the.

1322
01:03:59,440 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 3: Draft so far.

1323
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm on Ross Saint Brown's, you know whatever, a Day

1324
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 2: three pick, That's what I'm saying. So so the Detroit

1325
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 2: Lions is the pick for all three of us in

1326
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 2: the NFC North. Tell you what, guys, we will come back.

1327
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 2: We will talk the NFC West next, We'll bring in

1328
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 2: our NFC West Insider producer Patrick the Seahawks fan NFC West.

1329
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 3: Next. Before we get to it, though, let's.

1330
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 2: Toss it over the news desk to say you do

1331
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 2: you have any NFC North hot takes?

1332
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 3: By the way, the floor is yours, go ahead.

1333
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 4: About the Detroit Lions. They haven't hosted a playoff game

1334
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 4: in thirty years. Wow, And as Rob Parker often says, okay,

1335
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 4: they've only won the one playoff game since nineteen fifty seven.

1336
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 10: Well it was the NFC Central so they've never won

1337
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 10: the North.

1338
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 4: Back in the nineteen fifties, they won the NFL title

1339
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 4: three times, but since that era, just the one playoff.

1340
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 10: By the way, one of those coaches from that era,

1341
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 10: Buddy Parker, is the is the finalist for Coach Contributor

1342
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 10: for this year's Hall of Fame class.

1343
01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 4: No way, no hard ru exactly.

1344
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 2: I will just tell you it's almost like impressive how

1345
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 2: sustain the badness is for the Detroit Like.

1346
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 3: The NFL is set up, it's really hard to be

1347
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 3: this bad for.

1348
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 4: The playoff badness. They've had winning years in the last decade.

1349
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 3: But I mean they've had work. Come on, well what

1350
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 3: you've had? I mean, yes, but what is.

1351
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 4: Like I got to the playoffs a few times a

1352
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 4: decade ago.

1353
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 10: It just shows you just some hires you can make

1354
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,439
Speaker 10: to the front office last a long time. First Matt

1355
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 10: Millan and the damage that was done there, and then

1356
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 10: you just slammed the door back in their face again

1357
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 10: with Matt Patricia and you lost all that talent from

1358
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 10: all those years.

1359
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 4: The whole Matt Millan thing proves my theory of something

1360
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 4: completely different, the fact of how much cache a being

1361
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 4: on TV has you see it and hires for coaches

1362
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 4: you see it, for example, in this GM example, we're

1363
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 4: getting the fact that someone is on TV gives them

1364
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 4: somehow credibility that they don't necessarily earn. And we see

1365
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 4: that over and over in various avenues of life, just sports.

1366
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

1367
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 3: So you mentioned Rob Parker.

1368
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 2: That was one of his famous things in Detroit, the

1369
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 2: millin Man March showed up to protest his you know,

1370
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 2: his bad GMing.

1371
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 3: So wow, shout out Rob. My favorite ones.

1372
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 4: We had some great offensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys tonight.

1373
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 4: It was Dak Prescott and they had twenty eight first

1374
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 4: downs and could not be stopped. And Dallas beat up

1375
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 4: Las Vegas thirty one to sixteen. We mentioned earlier it

1376
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 4: was Will Greer's night at quarterback because after the trade

1377
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 4: he's not going to be around next week. Two touchdown runs,

1378
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 4: two touchdown passes, over three hundred yards through the air,

1379
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 4: and until he took a knee three times at the end.

1380
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 4: He also had seven carries fifty six yards. Wow, that

1381
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 4: was a winner of a night for him. Denver Broncos

1382
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 4: still up twenty seven nothing over the Rams early in

1383
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. Everything else is final. We do have

1384
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,360

01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,400

1420
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,439

01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 2: before we get to the NFC West, shout out to you.

1435
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 2: I think you said that the USC game final score

1436
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 2: is going to be something like I think you said

1437
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 2: fifty three to.

1438
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Twenty one, fifty six twenty one, fifty.

1439
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 2: Six twenty eight with twenty three seconds to go. So

1440
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 2: shout out to Jason Martin as almost I think the

1441
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,679
Speaker 2: score was twenty one to fourteen coming out of half,

1442
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 2: and you said fifty six to twenty one was the

1443
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 2: final score. Looks like it's going to be fifty six

1444
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 2: to twenty eight is the final score? Seven seconds left

1445
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,759
Speaker 2: us He actually their five star quarterback Malachi Nelson making

1446
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 2: his debut. Really quickly, let's switch gears to the NFC West.

1447
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 2: We don't have a ton of time on this one.

1448
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 2: I'll just say this really quickly. From my perspective, I've

1449
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 2: said it many times. I think, to me, the most

1450
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: interesting storyline in this division. We've talked so much about

1451
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. We don't need to get into that.

1452
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 2: We know that situation. Sean McVay either you know what,

1453
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 2: or get off the pot every single offseason. Are you

1454
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 2: gonna retire or are you not gonna retire? I don't

1455
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be much better this year. You know,

1456
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford, we don't know what's going on with the elbow.

1457
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 2: We think he's fine, but is he really Cooper Cups

1458
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 2: a little bit banged up. I just bring that up

1459
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 2: to say, like, I think if they go again have

1460
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 2: another disappointing year, A five and twelve, a six and whatever,

1461
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 2: if they're not in playoff contention, I actually do think

1462
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 2: this is the last year for Sean McVay. I don't

1463
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 2: think you can keep kind of dancing around it. And

1464
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 2: I think, listen, I think he wants to keep that brand.

1465
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 2: I'm a super Bowl winning coach, that dude, you keep

1466
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 2: having these bad seasons, you start to wonder if all

1467
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 2: the stars aligned. And I know he made a super

1468
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,759
Speaker 2: Bowl prior to that, but that is the most interesting

1469
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 2: narrative to me in the NFC West.

1470
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, I mean, I think you're probably right. I'll

1471
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: go with San Francisco and just because we're going to

1472
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: see Brock Purdy again coming off the injury, but we

1473
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: didn't get see that much of him last year, and

1474
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: now we know he's their future, at least the way

1475
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: that they have it penciled in. And the forty nine

1476
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: ers are so close to being a Super Bowl champion

1477
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,600
Speaker 1: style of team and they're in win now mode. So

1478
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I think it's I could go there. Even though I

1479
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: tend to think the Rams are the most interesting story there,

1480
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I think it's also interesting there's like one team in

1481
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 1: each division that had a good year last year that

1482
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: just seems kind of uninteresting. It was the Giants, it

1483
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,799
Speaker 1: was the Vikings, and unfortunately Patrick, I think it's Seattle.

1484
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 1: We can bring him in now. But yeah, I would

1485
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 1: probably tend to agree with the Rams, but just to

1486
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,600
Speaker 1: be different, I went with the Niners. Either one of

1487
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: the Arizona might be one of the most boring teams

1488
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: in the league. There's just nothing interesting there at all

1489
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: other than how bad it's gonna be.

1490
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where Kayleb Williams need to start looking for

1491
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 2: condos in Scottsdale. But uh, Patrick, Leno, Jason just just

1492
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 2: just oh yeah, what all over your team?

1493
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 3: Great year?

1494
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: Oh?

1495
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 2: I know, Gino Smith over a chief. Jason Martin wants

1496
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 2: none of it. He was bored to tears by your

1497
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. What do you have to say to.

1498
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 9: Jason Martin, Well, you know what, Jason Martin, Come on, man,

1499
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 9: I mean the offense we have right now. I mean, yeah,

1500
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 9: I know Geno Smith, maybe he can do it a

1501
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 9: second year, But when you got dk Metcalf, Tyler Lockett

1502
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 9: and now the rookie Jackson Smith and Jigba plus now

1503
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 9: you got a one to two bunch with Kenny Walker

1504
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 9: and Zach Germany. I mean, come on, that offense is

1505
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 9: gonna be a thing of beauty if they refined themselves

1506
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 9: up by the end of the season. Who knows about

1507
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 9: the defense, but uh, I think Sale's gonna make a

1508
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 9: playoff push. Maybe not the division that's still San Francisco's,

1509
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 9: but come on, man, I think the Rams and the

1510
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 9: Cardinals are gonna be at the bottom.

1511
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 3: All right.

1512
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Seattle's I'm just saying Seattle's a

1513
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: little uninteresting to me. Like, I just think they're gonna

1514
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: be fine. I don't think I don't think there's any

1515
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: real high or real low for them. I just think

1516
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: they're kind of a middle of the road.

1517
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 2: Team and what you laid out at you right, see

1518
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll chucking that ball all over the practice field could.

1519
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 3: Be their quarterback of the future.

1520
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: There you go, Pete Carroll could be Wow, it's.

1521
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,959
Speaker 3: Like seventy eight years old. He's just chucking bullets.

1522
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: No, this is gonna be a bad division, man. Like

1523
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rams and the Cardinals, neither one are

1524
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: going to be very good. The Niners should be real good,

1525
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: but we'll find out. And then Seattle again, I just

1526
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: think they're kind of a middle of the road team

1527
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna have a pretty decent season, but nothing spectacular.

1528
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 2: Real quick, I assume you have San Francisco winning the division. Yes,

1529
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 2: I do too. I'd love to. I'm not trying to

1530
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 2: just do the same thing that you're doing, but I

1531
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 2: think all three of these divisions. Listen, there's a reason

1532
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 2: that pretty much everybody feel the same way about the NFC.

1533
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. I, like I said, I wish I

1534
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 2: could be different, but I do have San Francisco winning

1535
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 2: this division as well. Tell you what, Jason, we will

1536

1537
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 2: a little bit boring. Oh no, we got to come

1553
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 2: actually tweeted in something very interesting to both of us.

1554
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 2: I just said, how you know Sean McVay. I think

1555
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 2: it's kind of you know what? Or get off the

1556
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 2: pot time. Fernando says, do you think Sean McVay will

1557
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 2: do Lincoln Riley a favor by tanking this season to

1558
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 2: get the Rams? Caleb Williams and then he hints at

1559
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 2: Lincoln Raley following Caleb Williams to the Rams if they're

1560
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 2: in position to get the number one pick. I can

1561
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 2: guarantee if Sean McVay ain't retiring. But I don't think

1562
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 2: that they will be so bad that they're in contention

1563
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 2: for that number one pick.

1564
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: But I love the conspiracy theory though, like that that

1565
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: if that were to happen, saw me up to watch

1566
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: that documentary.

1567
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean I don't.

1568
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think the Rams will be bad enough

1569
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 2: to be a contention for the number one pick. But

1570
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna be good, And I do

1571
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 2: think it'll be an interesting scenario, you know, for Sean

1572
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,759
Speaker 2: McVay after this season, if they again are disappointing Jason

1573
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 2: really quickly, let's cover the last division, by the way,

1574
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 2: for people joining us, we're going division by division in

1575
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 2: the NFC. Not a lot of you know, disagreement here.

1576
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 2: We have both picked the Eagles to win the East

1577
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 2: the Lions to win the North.

1578
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 3: Chris Profet chimed in and he agreed with us. And

1579
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:10,839
Speaker 3: the NFC West.

1580
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 2: We both like San Francisco, as did producer Pat very quickly.

1581
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 2: The NFC South Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, Desmond redder Hey

1582
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 2: at least Bryce Young sort of interesting, do we agree is,

1583
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 2: like Bryce Young the most interesting part of this division

1584
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:30,560
Speaker 2: this year, No.

1585
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: No question. I mean, I'm not sure that there is

1586
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 1: a close second. I think that watching the number one

1587
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,919
Speaker 1: pick and a guy we both adored watching in college,

1588
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: and really I think we both like an awful lot

1589
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna make the rest of the South tolerable, at

1590
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: least when the Panthers are involved. Just I want to

1591
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: see what Bryce Young does, and I'm rooting for the

1592
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 1: young man.

1593
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I don't disagree from that. I

1594
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 2: don't disagree from the perspective that it's going to be

1595
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 2: fascinating to watch. I'll just throw us out there, like

1596
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 2: with that division the way that it is, I mean,

1597
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 2: I think we all kind of agree. Whoever, you know,

1598
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 2: I think seven eight wins and probably not seven, but

1599
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 2: probably eight wins might win that division. I don't think

1600
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 2: it's inconceivable that Carolina could win it. They went seven

1601
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 2: to ten last year. Really quick, before we get to

1602
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 2: our division picks, any chance there's any sort of Baker

1603
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,480
Speaker 2: Mayfield career revitalization.

1604
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 3: Or is it just over for Baker?

1605
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 1: It just kind of feels over and it's not a

1606
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: great situation. It's not a team that's stacked by any

1607
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 1: means anymore. And look what they're going from and what

1608
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: they are going to. It's not like Baker Mayfield just

1609
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: replacing JaMarcus Russell. That makes it even more difficult. Just

1610
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: seems like Tampa Bay, whatever that moment was, has come

1611
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: and it has gone, and they are just not going

1612
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: to be a very good football team.

1613
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 3: Defensive head coach. It fell apart under Todd Bowles last year.

1614
01:17:59,120 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: It really did.

1615
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I know they technically won the division.

1616
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: I mean they dealt with a ton of injuries too.

1617
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 2: They did, they did, They technically won the division, injuries

1618
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 2: all that. But I'm with you is one, I don't

1619
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 2: think the talent level is even what it was two

1620
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 2: years ago.

1621
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 1: No, definitely not.

1622
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 2: But then two, I just think it's over for Baker.

1623
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 2: I was a Baker guy. I was excited, you know.

1624
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 2: I thought he was the guy that was gonna turn

1625
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 2: things around with Cleveland and obviously went sideways. He had

1626
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 2: his moment with the Rams last year. But I'm over it.

1627
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 2: As far as the division winner, I'll just say it.

1628
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 2: I do like Carolina and it's not because I love Carolina.

1629
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 2: It's because somebody's got to win this division a pretty

1630
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 2: manageable start, especially based on some of the conversations we've had.

1631
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 3: Neither of us love the Vikings. They play the Vikings

1632
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 3: at home early.

1633
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 2: Neither of I don't want to say neither of us love,

1634
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 2: but we have questions about the Dolphins. They played the

1635
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 2: Dolphins pretty early, they played the Texans, they played the

1636
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:58,640
Speaker 2: Colts in that AFC AFC South. Excuse me, so there

1637
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 2: will be some wins to be had there. I'm gonna

1638
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 2: go ahead and pick Carolina to win this division.

1639
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 3: Jason, how about you?

1640
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 1: Yep? I agree with you. Oh no, I didn't four

1641
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: hours ago. You sold me on it last night, Okay,

1642
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,959
Speaker 1: I am. We talked about it last night in detail,

1643
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: and I didn't feel that way, but you sold me

1644
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 1: on it. And when I really started to think about it,

1645
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I think that Derek Carr's old team

1646
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 1: and his new team are both gonna be bad. I

1647
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: just I don't know what to make of the Saints,

1648
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: but I don't buy into it. I just don't. I don't.

1649
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 1: There's no reason for me too. The Falcons. I think

1650
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith's an excellent coach and a brilliant mind. I

1651
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: just don't think they have the pieces. And when you look,

1652
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: we already talked about Tampa Bay. So I believe that

1653
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: Carolina's defensive solid last year. I think Kwanu really came

1654
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: on down the stretch, and the offensive line could be

1655
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,679
Speaker 1: all right. And I just like Bryce Young. I really

1656
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: really like Bryce Young, and I think he and Frank

1657
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: Wright could get along very well. And so because when

1658
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule as well, every point that

1659
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: you made last night changed my opinion on this. And

1660
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: so I know it is boring because I'm agreeing with you,

1661
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 1: but it's because of you that I changed this pick,

1662
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: and I feel pretty good saying it's gonna be Carolina.

1663
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 3: So we are four for four.

1664
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 2: We both picked the Eagles to win the North, the East,

1665
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 2: excuse me, the Lions to win the North obviously. You

1666
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 2: just heard the Panthers to win the South, and of course, outside.

1667
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 3: Of that, the skin of the West. San Francisco, San Francisco.

1688
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 2: But why are we canceling the end of NFL games

1689
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 2: for injuries? Just curious for your opinion for people who

1690
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 2: saw this tonight the Jacksonville Jaguars in Miami Dolphins game.

1691
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,640
Speaker 3: Now, there was a scary injury.

1692
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 2: Daywood Davis was carted off the field, but with about

1693
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 2: eight minutes left in the game, they just called the

1694
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 2: game and this is on the heels of.

1695
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 3: This happening just a few weeks. Yeah, with the New

1696
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 3: England Patriots exactly.

1697
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: They also canceled the joint practices with the Titans as

1698
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 1: a result of that, and then just played the game

1699
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,600
Speaker 1: last night here in Nashville. But yeah, so this has

1700
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: happened a couple times in the preseason.

1701
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, and it was funny.

1702
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 2: I was talking to the guys VJ and Martin as

1703
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 2: they were kind of eggs ing the studio before before

1704
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 2: we started our show.

1705
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to be insensitive. I know a guy

1706
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 3: got carted off.

1707
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't.

1708
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of this trend.

1709
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 2: Like, I'm not like outraged that games are being canceled,

1710
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you have paying customers, you

1711
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 2: have guys fighting for roster spots, and I know how

1712
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:24,759
Speaker 2: many roster spots are actually available.

1713
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1714
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm not outraged, but it feels a

1715
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 2: little bit like a weird like a weird trend, that's all.

1716
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1717
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 2: If I'm totally off base here and totally insensitive. I'm

1718
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 2: curious for your perspective.

1719
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: I think it just reveals again that the preseason just

1720
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: doesn't mean very much. I know what you just said

1721
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: about guys fighting for roster spots and all this, but

1722
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: I think behind closed doors, most of these NFL organizations

1723
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:55,040
Speaker 1: now place much more emphasis on the joint practices than

1724
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 1: they do the preseason games. We even had that as

1725
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: an excuse for why Anthony Richardson didn't take a single

1726
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 1: snap in that preseason game, which we discussed, and he

1727
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: said he had taken a bunch of snaps or a

1728
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: Stichen said he had taken a bunch of snaps in

1729
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: a lead up to it in the joint practice, so

1730
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: they had already gotten a ton of reps with him

1731
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 1: against opponents and all this stuff. I think it's largely that,

1732
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: and it's just the irrelevance of this. I like we

1733
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: had a real life example of it, certainly with DeMar Hamlin,

1734
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: and no one's gonna critique that short of maybe one

1735
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: person in sports, but outside of it, this happened in preseason. Again,

1736
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: just reveals that preseason is not that necessary. And if

1737
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: they kept playing, I don't think that it would be

1738
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: a massive talking point either. But I just I'm not

1739
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: up in arms either way. You were out when that happened,

1740
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 1: or another conversation we had when you were out with

1741
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Arnie was Arnie was outraged that teams were not trying

1742
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 1: to win at the end of preseason games, and he

1743
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: said he was blown away by the fact that I

1744
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: was not. He assumed everybody would agree with him, and

1745
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 1: all of them turned their mics on and agree with me.

1746
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: I just think that preseason at this point is going

1747
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: away to the Pro Bowl because the joint practices are

1748
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: now being focused on more, not just by media and

1749
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,719
Speaker 1: not just by the players, but also by the coaches.

1750
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: They are seeing more there, they're able to get more

1751
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: done in those scenarios, and preseason has been relegated too

1752
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: basically an entertainment product. And there's an injury, they just assume, oh,

1753
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, this isn't that great anyway. People

1754
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 1: already paid, they got three quarters. Let's just shut this

1755
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: thing down so we don't have anything else happen. And

1756
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of dumb. It's kind of dumb to do

1757
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: it for that reason, because why play it at all,

1758
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: because you had three quarters where somebody could have gotten

1759
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: hurt prior to somebody getting hurt, So I understand why

1760
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: it would be mildly confusing. I just can't get all

1761
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,640
Speaker 1: up in arms about it because it's preseason.

1762
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was my big takeaway as well,

1763
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 2: is you know, I think we're getting, you know, dangerously

1764
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 2: close to like we're just not gonna have a preseason.

1765
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's weird because every year it

1766
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 2: feels less relevant. But I also feel like this year

1767
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 2: more guys have played. I feel like then I really

1768
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 2: kind of expected, you know, Aaron Rodgers insisted on getting

1769
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 2: some some real reps today. It wasn't much, but he

1770
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,719
Speaker 2: played a lot. Bryce Young played all three games.

1771
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 9: C J.

1772
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 3: Stroud played all three games.

1773
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 1: You know.

1774
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:27,759
Speaker 3: Mahomes, Yeah, Mahomes played.

1775
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 2: So on the one hand, I feel like, you know,

1776
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:33,799
Speaker 2: I I it feels like it's never felt less relevant,

1777
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 2: but I felt like this year more guys played than

1778
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 2: I expected to have played in a couple games. So yeah,

1779
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I said, it's not something that

1780
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 2: I'm like angry, like bang my fist finish the game,

1781
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 2: but it just it does feel like a little bit

1782
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 2: of a weird trend. And I think that's probably my

1783
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 2: takeaway as well, is just that, hey, it's just further proof,

1784
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: like you know, the stuff that matters isn't happening on

1785
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 2: the field on NFL network or Fox or NBC or whatever. It's,

1786
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 2: as you said, in practice and joint practices, all that

1787
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 2: stuff really quickly. Ten minutes from now, we are going

1788
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 2: to give our college football playoff and national championship picks.

1789
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 2: That is because college football officially kicked off today. Let's

1790
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 2: start with the late game, Jason USC. It was close

1791
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 2: for a minute, twenty one to fourteen coming out of halftime,

1792
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 2: and then the USC put on the after burners. Fifty

1793
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,879
Speaker 2: six to twenty eight is the final score. Caleb Williams

1794
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 2: eighteen of twenty five passing two hundred and seventy eight yards,

1795
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,719
Speaker 2: four touchdowns, five hundred and one yards of total offense

1796
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 2: for USC. Defense wasn't great three hundred and sixty yards allowed,

1797
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two yards rushing, including six yards

1798
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 2: per carry on a scale of one to ten. Knowing

1799
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 2: how bad how awesome the offense was last year, but

1800
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 2: how bad the defense is, Knowing that you only got

1801
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams for one more year, Knowing that this is

1802
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 2: a team that many believe can make the playoff and

1803
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 2: maybe you're one of them. Will make our picks in

1804
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 2: a minute. How worried should USC fans be about the

1805
01:26:58,520 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 2: defensive effort today?

1806
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: Not really that much, although it's just it's same old,

1807
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:07,799
Speaker 1: same old until further notice. But again, until that schedule

1808
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 1: gets difficult against Notre Dame around week six, you have

1809
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,680
Speaker 1: about you have a little over a month's worth of

1810
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: football to hone in and get things right. Now. If

1811
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: you show up against Notre Dame and you get you know,

1812
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 1: you win the game, but you give up fifty some

1813
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna start to worry about you against some

1814
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: of the some of the opponents, because, as You've mentioned

1815
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: a few different times, the schedule gets a lot more

1816
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: difficult down the stretch. You see Utah, you see Washington,

1817
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: you see Oregon, then of course you play UCLA. I

1818
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 1: think you get Cal in the mix there too. But

1819
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: that game at Notre Dame is what's gonna tell us something.

1820
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: And I do think there's intrigue around at Colorado. Uh,

1821
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 1: But by that point we're gonna know a little bit

1822
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 1: more about Colorado, so we'll see how intriguing it actually is.

1823
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, fourth week of the season, but you've got

1824
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: time if you're that defense to kind of coalesce. Now

1825
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: we need to see some progress there. San Jose State's

1826
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: team that can put up some points. And it is

1827
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: week zero, and you can get a little complacent, maybe

1828
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: come out a little flat in a situation like that,

1829
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: if you're USC. We saw them do what they did

1830
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: in the second half. They're gonna score a ton of points.

1831
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: How many points they're gonna give up, it's gonna dictate

1832
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 1: how far they go or whether or not they're a

1833
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 1: real title contender. I think tonight was fine. It was

1834
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: good offensive performance for about two and a half quarters.

1835
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 1: The defense is still a work in progress. And again,

1836
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 1: I think the reason why you might be overly concerned

1837
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:36,600
Speaker 1: if you are, and I would say, hesitate and just

1838
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: cool off just a little bit. It's a little bit

1839
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 1: too soon to do this. But Lincoln Rawleigh pretty much

1840
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,719
Speaker 1: does never feeled a good defense. His teams never play

1841
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 1: good defense. So why would that all of a sudden change.

1842
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: And it's the thing that is going to have to

1843
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: change in order to win a national championship with Lincoln

1844
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 1: Rawi as a coach. So that's what we need to

1845
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 1: see in the coming weeks. But I'm not particularly worried

1846
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: right now about a kind of mediocre defensive performance against

1847
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: San Jose State.

1848
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would add too, I think it's got to

1849
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 2: change as that program goes into the Big Ten next year.

1850
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

1851
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and it's not like it's just like

1852
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 2: sometimes the weather stuff is a little bit cliche. But

1853
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna be going into cold weather. You know, you're

1854
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 2: probably gonna be playing Washington and Oregon every year, one

1855
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:26,560
Speaker 2: of them in less than ideal conditions up in the

1856
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest. So you know, I wouldn't say that I'm worried. Worried,

1857
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 2: but this was a team that finished one hundred and

1858
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 2: six nationally. Again, there's only one hundred and thirty one team,

1859
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 2: so one hundred and sixth nationally in total defense last year,

1860
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 2: ninety third nationally in scoring defense. And you know, if

1861
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 2: you want to make the argument that, well, you know

1862
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 2: the other team had the ball because the offense scored

1863
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:46,840
Speaker 2: so quick.

1864
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 3: Whatever.

1865
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 2: I guess I would say I am a little bit

1866
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 2: worried because after everything that defense went through. After two

1867
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,759
Speaker 2: very disappointing games to end last season, if you remember,

1868
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 2: you know, they were up early in the PAC twelve

1869
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 2: Championship game, Caleb Williams gets hurt, they get blown out,

1870
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 2: and then they give up forty six points to two

1871
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 2: Lane in the Cotton Bowl. I'm a little bit more

1872
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:11,719
Speaker 2: worried than you, not because oh, you know they're season's over,

1873
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 2: but just because it's week one. You know, this isn't

1874
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 2: the NFL where you get three weeks of preseason. This

1875
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:21,080
Speaker 2: is your first chance to hit somebody. This is your

1876
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 2: first chance to prove the narratives of the offseason wrong.

1877
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 3: And I'm a little bit more worried.

1878
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 2: And I'm a little bit more worried because again, I

1879
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 2: think that schedule is pretty tough. You know, the Pac twelve,

1880
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 2: for all the bullets that's taken this offseason, I do

1881
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 2: think has some really good teams. It's obviously reflected in

1882
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 2: the A people where five teams are in the top

1883
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 2: twenty UCLA right outside the top twenty five plus you

1884
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 2: have Notre Dame.

1885
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 3: But I say it to say they're one to zero

1886
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:49,759
Speaker 3: and ultimately that's all that matters.

1887
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, look, I would say this real quickly is

1888
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 1: if we still have this, if we have a similar

1889
01:30:56,360 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 1: kind of feel about this defense going into the game

1890
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:05,600
Speaker 1: at Boulder against Colorado on the last day of September,

1891
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 1: because they've got Nevada, Stanford, and Arizona State before that.

1892
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 1: If we're still curious and they have another mediocre performance

1893
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: at Colorado, then we can start to really talk about

1894
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 1: this because you get Arizona and then then it gets

1895
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 1: tough after that point in time. That's what I'm saying.

1896
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a couple of more weeks here

1897
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 1: week zero. A lot of weird things happen, some things

1898
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 1: don't coalesce quite as quickly, so I think that's part

1899
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 1: of this. But if we are, if we see two

1900
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 1: or three more of these, then we're gonna have to

1901
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 1: have a conversation.

1902
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you this is as bad as the

1903
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 2: schedule is to end the season.

1904
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:41,840
Speaker 3: It starts out really nicely cake for a month.

1905
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, Stanford picked last in the Pac twelve, Arizona State tenth,

1906
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 2: Colorado eleventh. So you're talking about the three worst teams

1907
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 2: according to voters and polsters in that conference. You get

1908
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 2: to open league play with really quickly. We talked about

1909
01:31:56,960 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 2: Notre Dame to open the show. Jason kind of the

1910
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 2: exact opposite of USC is all offseason we kind of heard, Hey,

1911
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 2: they might have themselves a real quarterback. Sam Hartman was

1912
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,679
Speaker 2: really good for a really long time at Wake Forest.

1913
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 2: And if they do, does it change you know, the

1914
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 2: trajectory is not the right way to put it, because

1915
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 2: they've made the College Football Playoff and I don't think

1916
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 2: that they're a national championship contender, but it certainly adds

1917
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 2: another element to them. And that's exactly what we saw

1918
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 2: on Saturday afternoon Saturday morning, depending on where you were

1919
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 2: what part of the country, as Notre Dame goes to

1920
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 2: Ireland beats.

1921
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 3: Navy forty two to three.

1922
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 2: I know Navy's not good, but Sam Hartman has an

1923
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 2: excellent performance in his debut. Like Caleb Williams, he threw

1924
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 2: for four touchdown passes, in Sam Hartman's case, nineteen of

1925
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 2: twenty three, passing two hundred and fifty one yards to

1926
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:50,520
Speaker 2: go along with those four touchdowns.

1927
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 3: They looked really good.

1928
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:54,760
Speaker 2: Jason, I know it's Navy, but they did what they

1929
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 2: had to do on the ground, they did what they

1930
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 2: had to do on defense.

1931
01:32:57,439 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 3: Notre Dame is one to no.

1932
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was Navy, and that does need to

1933
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:06,479
Speaker 1: be taken into consideration. There are some tough football games

1934
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 1: that Notre Dame is going to see. But this is

1935
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 1: certainly the kind of start that you want. And this

1936
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,200
Speaker 1: is why you bring a Sam Hartman in. And this

1937
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 1: is why if you're a Notre Dame fan, you're excited

1938
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 1: about bringing in a Sam Hartman because you haven't had

1939
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 1: a dynamic playmaker at the quarterback position in a minute,

1940
01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 1: and now you do. And what does that mean? We're

1941
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 1: going to find out because this is a football team

1942
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:32,600
Speaker 1: that plays Ohio State, this is a football team that

1943
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 1: plays usc they play Clemson. I think the wake Forest

1944
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 1: game is really intriguing just because of Sam Hartman and

1945
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 1: everything else. NC State is always a good opponent. So

1946
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,599
Speaker 1: they got some tough football games on their schedule. We're

1947
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: going to see what they're made of. They have a schedule, really,

1948
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if they were able to run the table, yeah,

1949
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 1: they could be a contender. I don't think I'm putting

1950
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: them in there, but I certainly think that they have

1951
01:33:55,479 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 1: a chance to be a much more a bessive offensive

1952
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 1: team than they've been in a while. And that ought

1953
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 1: to make them a lot more fun to watch and

1954
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 1: also ought to make NBC pretty happy to have so

1955
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:09,919
Speaker 1: many other games.

1956
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:12,000
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what you said. You don't think you're

1957
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 3: putting them in there.

1958
01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 2: When we come back, we are going to make our

1959

1984
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 2: are starting to get a little interesting out there in

1985
01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 2: your neck of the woods in Nashville. Vanderbilt was up

1986
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 2: thirty five to fourteen. Hawaii just scored to make it

1987
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 2: thirty five twenty seven, extra point pending. There's a possibility

1988
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,760
Speaker 2: he was down on the one yard line, so we'll

1989
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 2: see if that stays official. But fourteenth straight or thirteen

1990
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 2: straight with an extra point pending from Hawaii now thirty

1991
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,400
Speaker 2: five twenty seven with about four minutes to go. We'll

1992
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 2: keep you updated on that one. Florida International has a

1993
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:08,920
Speaker 2: seventeen to sixteen lead in the other game in Week

1994
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 2: zero speeding of Week zero, Jason season is here. We

1995
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:16,599
Speaker 2: gotta make some college football playoff picks. So I'll tell

1996
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 2: you what we'll do. We'll just go back and forth.

1997
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 2: Start with four seed down to one and your national champion,

1998
01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:28,679
Speaker 2: So four seed for you, Jason, in your college football

1999
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 2: playoff is.

2000
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 1: S oh Man LSU. Really Okay, I'm going off the

2001
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm going off the deep end on this one. Between

2002
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:43,960
Speaker 1: the deep end, it was what it was between them

2003
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:46,439
Speaker 1: and Alabama, and I just I am concerned about the

2004
01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 1: quarterback situation at Bama. I just am, And this just

2005
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: feels like the condy your LS you could leap frog them.

2006
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:57,959
Speaker 1: And so I'm I actually, even though it's not obviously

2007
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,439
Speaker 1: what I want to see, consider my rooting interests LSU,

2008
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm putting them in the four spot.

2009
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I will tell you LSU is not in my

2010
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:09,000
Speaker 2: four and it's I. Yeah, not because I don't love

2011
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly, I do. I just think the schedule with

2012
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 2: Florida State to open, you have to go to Bama

2013
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 2: this year, and it's.

2014
01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 3: Kind of crazy.

2015
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:20,240
Speaker 2: Three of your first five excuse me, I think it's

2016
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 2: let me do the quick math here. Four of your

2017
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:26,760
Speaker 2: first six are away from Baton Rouge, so three true

2018
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 2: road games and then also Florida State on a neutral field.

2019
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 2: So I just think the start is tough. I worry

2020
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 2: about the depth. Those front line guys are good, but

2021
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 2: I worry about the death. So with that said, my

2022
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 2: number four team a little bit of a curveball, making

2023
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:49,440
Speaker 2: their college football playoff debut the Penn State and Nitneyllions. Wow,

2024
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:54,599
Speaker 2: I really like Penn State. Schedule breaks very nicely for them.

2025
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 2: They play they you know, first of all, they don't

2026
01:37:58,040 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 2: play Wisconsin, which might be the best team out of

2027
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 2: the world. They're out of conference. They should go three

2028
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:05,040
Speaker 2: and oh there's no The marquee game is West Virginia

2029
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 2: at home. West Virginia's terrible. They do get Michigan at home.

2030
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:12,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State, how about this, Jason. The two weeks preceding

2031
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State they have a buy and then they play

2032
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 2: UMass at home. So it's kind of what we were

2033
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 2: talking about with the Detroit Lions earlier. If they can't

2034
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 2: break through this year. And by the way, we're going

2035
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 2: to a twelve team playoff next year, so they're gonna

2036
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:29,879
Speaker 2: get in at some point. But I just think everything

2037
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 2: breaks very nicely for them to break through this year.

2038
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,040
Speaker 2: As I said, they basically get three weeks to prepare

2039
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 2: for Ohio State, Michigan at home, no Wisconsin, no meaningful

2040
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:42,839
Speaker 2: out of conference games. I think they drop either Ohio

2041
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,600
Speaker 2: State or Michigan, but not both. I think they go

2042
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 2: eleven and one. I think they go to the College

2043
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:47,799
Speaker 2: Football Playoff.

2044
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 1: Jason I just man James Franklin getting into the playoff.

2045
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need to see that one. I'm just there's

2046
01:38:57,040 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: something missing there, Like I think he's a great coach,

2047
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 1: and then at the same time on game days there's

2048
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: some things that just baffle me. And it's always kind

2049
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: of been this way. I think there's a ceiling for

2050
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: Penn State. I could easily see him in a New

2051
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: Year's six game, but I do not see him in

2052
01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: the playoff. But youn In have LSU, so I mean

2053
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 1: we couldn't agree if we didn't have the exact same

2054
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 1: top four.

2055
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 2: At least we don't have the same picks like we

2056
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 2: did in the NFC. Really quickly, one thing I should

2057
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 2: like I should reference. I do like the personnel as well.

2058
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 2: Nicholas Singleton, a thousand yard rushers, a freshman, some nice

2059
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 2: wide receivers out of the transfer portal. Their starting quarterback

2060
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:34,680
Speaker 2: was a five star, one of the highest rate of

2061
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 2: recruits they've had in recent years. He just didn't play

2062
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 2: last year because you had a sixty year senior in

2063
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:43,639
Speaker 2: Sean Clifford as your quarterback. Drew a layer as his name. Anyway,

2064
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 2: Penn State is my number four team. Who do you

2065
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:47,080
Speaker 2: have at number three?

2066
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:49,799
Speaker 1: I got USC at number three.

2067
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Now, wonder you were so defensive of their

2068
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 2: defense a minute ago.

2069
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't defensive. I'm just saying I look at the

2070
01:39:57,960 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: schedule and I do think it's manageable. I think it's

2071
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch. But I don't feel particularly good about

2072
01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 1: anybody else I could put in the same place. I've

2073
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 1: already given you an SEC teams. I'm not giving you

2074
01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:12,640
Speaker 1: three of them. I'm a little wary about one of

2075
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:14,760
Speaker 1: the more obvious picks you could make out of the

2076
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 1: big ten, and I feel much better about the other one,

2077
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 1: so that that kind of dictates, And that puts me

2078
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: into a position where I just look at SC with

2079
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:27,120
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and think, if the challenges outscore. I've seen

2080
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that Arnest talented as him for Lincoln Riley do that,

2081
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: and I could see him doing it also.

2082
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:35,719
Speaker 3: All right, I will get to number three.

2083
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:38,360
Speaker 2: So as far as USC is concerned, the defense does

2084
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 2: worry me, but it's I just think the schedule's tough,

2085
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 2: and I'll be blunt to play do a little spoiler.

2086
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:46,719
Speaker 2: I don't have a single pack twelve team in only

2087
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,439
Speaker 2: because I don't think there's much of a gap. I

2088
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 2: think there's just a lot of really good teams. You know,

2089
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,719
Speaker 2: we saw Utah beat USC twice last year. We saw

2090
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 2: Oregon win some big games, lose some big games. Washington

2091
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 2: is good, Utah is good. So I like the PAC twelve.

2092
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 2: I just don't think there's enough of a gap. I

2093
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:08,639
Speaker 2: think everybody takes losses along the way. My number three team,

2094
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 2: I'm actually go I was torn in the ACC because

2095
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 2: I do think Clemson is going to be better than

2096
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:19,719
Speaker 2: they've been. But I am buying that Florida State hype.

2097
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 3: I really am.

2098
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you you know that for people who don't

2099
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,639
Speaker 2: know they're starting their number eight in the preseason poll,

2100
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 2: and I'll just be blunt Chason. I mean, their whole

2101
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 2: season really comes down to two games, and they're both

2102
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 2: in September, so I mean they're gonna be Sorry, go ahead,

2103
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 2: but what you can say, no, I mean I was

2104
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:34,600
Speaker 2: disagreeing with you.

2105
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean I went with LSU at four under the

2106
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 1: assumption that one of their key wins is gonna be

2107
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: Florida State. Whoever wins that game is gonna be in

2108
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 1: one position. Whoever loses that game is gonna be in

2109
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 1: trouble early exactly.

2110
01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, this is the new era of

2111
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:51,640
Speaker 2: college football, man, that we're gonna We're not gonna have

2112
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 2: these Week one games that feel like life for death.

2113
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 2: This year will be though LSU and Florida State both

2114
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,720
Speaker 2: in the top ten. Florida State also plays at Clemson

2115
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:04,920
Speaker 2: later in the month. I think Clemson's going to be better.

2116
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:09,679
Speaker 2: But my concern is the schedule isn't hard, but it's

2117
01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 2: not easy. Open at Duke. Duke won nine games last year.

2118
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:15,880
Speaker 2: They play at Miami. Miami's always got dudes. It's just

2119
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 2: whether it comes together under Mario Christopaul. At NC State

2120
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 2: that's kind of always a weird game for Clemson. Then

2121
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 2: they have Notre Dame at home, they have Florida State

2122
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 2: at home. They have North Carolina at home as well,

2123
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:28,760
Speaker 2: and oh, by the way, South Carolina who beat them.

2124
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 2: So right now we have two teams, Jason, I have

2125
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 2: Penn State and Florida State. You have LSU and USC.

2126
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we will come back. We will

2127
01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:39,680
Speaker 2: give our final two teams our college Football playoff and

2128
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 2: National Championship picks. Mine are a little bit off the

2129
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 2: raidar I'm just telling you right now, not any not crazy.

2130
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 2: But that's next before we do that, though, news desk,

2131
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 2: Steve Desager, floor is yours, my friend.

2132
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 4: We've got a game at Vanderbilt. It's late night college

2133
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:55,200
Speaker 4: football on this show. And it's not the PAC twelve

2134
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 4: after sec after dark, baby, it is at Vanderbilt. There

2135
01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 4: is a lightning delay at the start of a for

2136
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 4: an hour and a half, so right now, under five

2137
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 4: minutes to go. Vanda holding on thirty five twenty eight

2138
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:10,000
Speaker 4: over Hawaii, which has scored two touchdowns in the fourth

2139
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 4: quarter to get close in this game, each quarterback each

2140
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:15,280
Speaker 4: side has three touchdowns here.

2141
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:17,320
Speaker 1: They just got an on side kick too well.

2142
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:20,719
Speaker 2: One ref gave it to Hawaii. One ref just overturned age.

2143
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 3: They're talking, yes, ref huddle college football, soap back baby.

2144
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 3: The ref suttling at middle of the field.

2145
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:30,599
Speaker 1: He's out of bounds right there.

2146
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 4: So no, by the way, we will talk USC Notre

2147
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:37,559
Speaker 4: Dame now, but saving the items on UMass football, which

2148
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:38,320
Speaker 4: is worth noting.

2149
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 1: Tonight way Marcus Camby with a couple touchdowns.

2150
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 4: Calipari is coming back. Yeah, but tonight sure they won,

2151
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 4: but they're just gonna be on probation soon anyway, Oh

2152
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 4: too soon? USC over It's San Jose State and an

2153
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 4: opener fifty six twenty eight Caleb Williams four touchdown passes

2154
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 4: and in Dublin dominance for Notre Dame over Navy forty

2155
01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:02,439
Speaker 4: two to three Sam Hartman four touchdown passes. Navy is

2156
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 4: not an independent army, and you mass are independence in

2157
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 4: FBS college football like Notre Dame, like Yukon for example. Well,

2158
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 4: guess who's going to be playing UMass this year? Yukon

2159
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,720
Speaker 4: and Army? And here the season opener for UMass was

2160
01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 4: at New Mexico State and they actually won minute Man

2161
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,960
Speaker 4: forty one thirty the final. How notable is this? Ever

2162
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 4: since they came into let's say Division one about twenty

2163
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 4: five years ago, they've been mostly horrible. It's not like

2164
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 4: they haven't had any good seasons, but the last decade

2165
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:37,719
Speaker 4: plus particularly, they've had four five different seasons where they're

2166
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:41,519
Speaker 4: one and eleven, nearly winless for an entire season. U

2167
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:45,720
Speaker 4: mass gets a victory on the road to snap a

2168
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 4: twenty four game road losing show. This is also the

2169
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:53,360
Speaker 4: first time Massachusetts has won their football season opener on

2170
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 4: the road. In fifty years. So what's up next? Saturday?

2171
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 4: Massachusetts at Auburn. Mid October, they'll be at Penn State

2172
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:09,360
Speaker 4: as well UMass winning against New Mexico State tonight. They're

2173
01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 4: going to be playing New Mexico on their schedule this

2174
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 4: year as well. More season openers in college football on

2175
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:17,679
Speaker 4: Thursday night, by the way, including the Big Ten opener

2176
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 4: on Fox TV Nebraska at Minnesota eight pm Eastern Time

2177
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 4: Thursday Wednesday night for Jacksonville State and San Diego State,

2178
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 4: and the late scheduled game as a minute to go

2179
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 4: and Louisiana Tech has taken the lead. They had missed

2180
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 4: a late field goal attempt and were still down one.

2181
01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 4: Now they're up twenty two to seventeen over Florida International,

2182
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 4: one oh one to play. There were ten NFL exhibitions.

2183
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 4: The late game at Denver went to the Broncos kind

2184
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 4: of forty one to nothing over the Rams, who finished

2185
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 4: oh to three in the preseason. You might remember the

2186
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 4: Rams won by an even more lopsided margin on Christmas

2187
01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 4: last year. I believe it was Stetson Bennett of LA

2188
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:01,040
Speaker 4: two interceptions and just fourteen yards past four of nine

2189
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 4: fourteen yards Dallas beat Vegas thirty one sixteen and the

2190
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,400
Speaker 4: Will Greer Show. He had two touchdown passes and two

2191
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 4: touchdown runs. Raiders running back Josh Jacobs ended his holdout today.

2192
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 4: He has a new one year contract. The Jets got

2193
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 4: a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers and beat the Giants

2194
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:20,360
Speaker 4: thirty two to twenty four NASCAR win in their season

2195
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 4: finale regular season for Chris Buscher. Bubba Wallace is the

2196
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 4: last driver into the playoffs. Victor Hoblin leads the Tour

2197
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:30,760
Speaker 4: championship by six strokes to Major League Baseball. The late game,

2198
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:35,240
Speaker 4: Cincinnati in eleven innings beat Arizona eight to seven, ending

2199
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:38,559
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks six game winning streak. And a note from

2200
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:41,720
Speaker 4: the ESPN Baseball writer Jeff pass In that last night

2201
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 4: a full slate of games, over four thousand pitches thrown

2202
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:49,320
Speaker 4: total and not a single pitchclock violation. Wow, first time

2203
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 4: this year on a day with the full slate of

2204
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 4: fifteen games. As he points out, total time of the

2205
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 4: game is down twenty five minutes this year, it's under

2206
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 4: two hours and forty on average attendance up over nine percent.

2207
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:02,639
Speaker 1: Quote.

2208
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 4: The rules changes are a rousing success. We had a

2209
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,480
Speaker 4: game today where Seattle won again It was a fifteen

2210
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:11,679
Speaker 4: to two final against Kansas City. Time of the game

2211
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 4: two hours and twenty eight minutes.

2212
01:47:14,320 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 1: Back to you, Hey, do you guys feel like Will

2213
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,960
Speaker 1: Greer was handed to game ball and also asked for

2214
01:47:20,040 --> 01:47:22,759
Speaker 1: his uniform Yeah the same time.

2215
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:26,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, or maybe he can like go out to eat

2216
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 4: in it and then he has to come to the

2217
01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 4: office on Monday morning.

2218
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:32,519
Speaker 1: Just walk up to the coach man. I gave you

2219
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:34,080
Speaker 1: all I had. I'm gonna ahead and turn this in

2220
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: because I don't feel like the drive on Monday. That's unbelievable.

2221
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 3: Thank you, say they.

2222
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:39,600
Speaker 2: We'll be back in just a few minutes with his

2223
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 2: extended update. All right, Jason, let's keep it going. We

2224
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 2: have given two of our college football playoff teams. I

2225
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 2: have Penn State and Florida State. You have LSU and USC.

2226
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 2: Let's get to your top two. Give me your national

2227
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 2: runner up this year, Jason Martin.

2228
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to flip these, but I I just can't

2229
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:02,799
Speaker 1: do it. I got Michigan at too easy obviously to start,

2230
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:05,639
Speaker 1: and they'll they'll have some challenges, but I do really

2231
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:08,720
Speaker 1: like them, and I just I have sensed what they've

2232
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:11,679
Speaker 1: been building over the last few years. They are loaded,

2233
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 1: they should be good this year. I think they're going

2234
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:17,520
Speaker 1: to be very good this year. So give me Michigan.

2235
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 2: Before I get to Michigan. So that means you are

2236
01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:22,720
Speaker 2: not buying Ohio State this year, at least not as

2237
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 2: a playoff team.

2238
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 1: No, I just I need. I want to see what

2239
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 1: they do at the quarterback spot this year. And I

2240
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:32,960
Speaker 1: saw enough of Ryan Days kind of like happy, go

2241
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 1: lucky attitude a few times last year where he got

2242
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,880
Speaker 1: bailed out. I don't know that he has the bailout

2243
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:40,479
Speaker 1: team this year. I don't know if he has the

2244
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:43,639
Speaker 1: bailout quarterback either. So I just I believe in Michigan,

2245
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:44,720
Speaker 1: not Ohio State this year.

2246
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:45,679
Speaker 3: And I'll take it a step further.

2247
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 2: They don't have the bailout schedule either at Notre Dame,

2248
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 2: at Michigan, even at Wisconsin. That's already been announced as

2249
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 2: a night game Halloween weekends, so good luck with that.

2250
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 2: And then of course Penn State at home. As I mentioned,

2251
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 2: Penn State's essentially going to have a back to back

2252
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 2: by going into that one. My number two team, Jason,

2253
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:04,600
Speaker 2: this is gonna surprise you, and I don't know that

2254
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 2: I feel good about it, but I'm doing it.

2255
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:09,799
Speaker 3: I'm picking Alabama to win the SEC.

2256
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:12,040
Speaker 1: And it is.

2257
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 2: Partly like I think they think the quarterback stuff worries me.

2258
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 2: Last night we read the quotes from Nick Saban where

2259
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:21,800
Speaker 2: he said, well one of Basically he said, well one

2260
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 2: of you, please take this job. I stop waiting for

2261
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:27,880
Speaker 2: me to hand it to you. They've recommitted to the run,

2262
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:32,840
Speaker 2: they've recommitted to defense, and you know, I'll just say

2263
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:36,280
Speaker 2: quickly with Georgia, like it's just so hard to ask

2264
01:49:36,320 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 2: that team to go back to back to back. So

2265
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 2: I have Alabama as the SEC chant my national runner up.

2266
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 2: I think I know who you're picking to win it all.

2267
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:49,479
Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, Georgia. I mean, I'm I'm gonna at my

2268
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:52,280
Speaker 1: own peril. Would I pick against them at this point?

2269
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 1: I thought about it, but I just feel like I

2270
01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: would be doing that because of a hunch. Georgia just

2271
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 1: keeps on reloading. And I've seen this now for enough

2272
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:06,679
Speaker 1: time over the last two or three years. Somebody's gonna

2273
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 1: have to knock them off for me to feel good

2274
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:13,000
Speaker 1: about picking against them at this stage. Maybe Tennessee does

2275
01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 1: get them this year, Maybe you're right, maybe Bama does,

2276
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:18,920
Speaker 1: or maybe might pick of LSU in the four spot,

2277
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,120
Speaker 1: gets them in the SEC title game. Maybe they do

2278
01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: get God along the way. But I just can't pick

2279
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: against them right now because they've been such a machine.

2280
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 1: So get me Georgia.

2281
01:50:28,479 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 3: Two quick things.

2282
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 2: One, it's amazing how quickly the narrative has changed on them,

2283
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 2: Like a year and a half ago, well, you know,

2284
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:37,320
Speaker 2: after even the SEC Championship game a couple of years ago,

2285
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:39,200
Speaker 2: is like, that's right, that can't.

2286
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 3: Win the maab One Kirby again.

2287
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,680
Speaker 2: Now it's just like, you can't bet against them. And

2288
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 2: I will tell you, Jason, my only reason for not

2289
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 2: picking them is a hunch. I just I think it's

2290
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:52,719
Speaker 2: really hard to do the reach. I don't think I.

2291
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:53,960
Speaker 1: Know, you don't have them in the you don't even

2292
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:54,919
Speaker 1: have them in the playoff.

2293
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:57,519
Speaker 2: I will have them losing a game in the regular season,

2294
01:50:57,560 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 2: haven't figured out which one, and then losing an alibea

2295
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 2: in the SEC Championship game, and that leaves my national

2296
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 2: champion the Michigan Wolverines. I I truly, in my heart

2297
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 2: of hearts believe it. By the way, Vanderbilt just intercepted

2298
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:14,560
Speaker 2: a ball. Looks like they are gonna hold on to

2299
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:16,720
Speaker 2: beat Hawaii, so they're one to zero and still very

2300
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 2: much in the playoff picture. Jason, we'll discuss them at

2301
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:22,280
Speaker 2: a later point, But with Michigan, I'll say this first

2302
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:25,840
Speaker 2: of all, the suspension doesn't I don't think it matters

2303
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 2: to me. I talked about it last night when we

2304
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 2: were filling in for Jason and Mike. This is a

2305
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:34,040
Speaker 2: program that has had Jim Harbaugh literally interview for jobs

2306
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 2: two off seasons in a row in the NFL, or

2307
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 2: at least he did two years ago on National Signing Day.

2308
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 2: It's a veteran group. They've been building towards this year.

2309
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 2: I know it's I don't know. I just I think

2310
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:50,599
Speaker 2: everything's built towards this year. I just find it so

2311
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 2: hard to believe that George can do it three years

2312
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 2: in a row. Not because they're not talented, not because

2313
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm rooting against them, not because I don't like Kirby Smart.

2314
01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 2: But there's a reason that it has never been three

2315
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 2: straight years. Michigan is my national champion Jays.

2316
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 1: That was the only team that I consider. But then

2317
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:08,920
Speaker 1: there is still that part of me. It's like I've

2318
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:11,439
Speaker 1: seen the Big ten against the SEC in the past,

2319
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:14,880
Speaker 1: yep and it just backed me right back off of it,

2320
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:16,720
Speaker 1: and it was just like, Nope, I'm just I'm not

2321
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: getting caught flat footed on this one, Like you're not

2322
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 1: getting a step on me at very least, you're not

2323
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,280
Speaker 1: getting behind me like I'm I'm going down the field.

2324
01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:27,679
Speaker 1: I'm at least gonna play prevent defense at worst, and

2325
01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:29,559
Speaker 1: and you'll get the first down. But you're not getting

2326
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 1: into the end zone on this pick. If I turn

2327
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:36,200
Speaker 1: out to be wrong, fine, but I'll go down with

2328
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 1: the ship of the SEC over the Big ten.

2329
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:41,719
Speaker 2: It's never it's never gone. It's never been the wrong

2330
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 2: decision to pick the SEC over the Big ten?

2331
01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:46,559
Speaker 3: Really quick? Do you have a Heisman Trophy winner?

2332
01:52:48,760 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 1: See that? That one's hard. I think we talked about

2333
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 1: this last night, and we talked about how difficult it

2334
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 1: is to repeat a Heisman because you have set a

2335
01:52:57,439 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 1: standard where even if you even if he's awesome every

2336
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:03,240
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some people that aren't impressed because they

2337
01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:06,120
Speaker 1: now hold him to a higher standard where they're just like, well,

2338
01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 1: we see you do this before, But you know what,

2339
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick Caleb Williams again because I think there's

2340
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:13,640
Speaker 1: something very very special about him I've got them in

2341
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 1: the playoff. If they're in the playoff, that means Caleb

2342
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:19,040
Speaker 1: Williams is throwing for an insane number of touchdowns and

2343
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:22,519
Speaker 1: protecting the football and staying healthy. So I think Caleb

2344
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:24,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be, you know, one of those very very

2345
01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:27,080
Speaker 1: few players we've ever seen that does this.

2346
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 2: It's a great point if they if they have a

2347
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 2: playoff type year, it's going to be because of him,

2348
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 2: even if the defense is improved. Listen, I put it

2349
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,360
Speaker 2: on the record earlier this week. I put it on

2350
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 2: the record before today. This isn't a reaction or overreaction

2351
01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 2: to today. I picked Sam Hartman because I think you

2352
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:45,120
Speaker 2: look at that schedule, They're gonna have marquee games, most

2353
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:48,160
Speaker 2: of them are at home. Statistically, he is going to

2354
01:53:48,200 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 2: be very good. Now, are they gonna win those games

2355
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,840
Speaker 2: that matter? USC at home, Ohio State at home, Cleansing

2356
01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 2: on the road. They're probably not going undefeated. We'll see

2357
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:57,040
Speaker 2: if they can win even two out of three. But

2358
01:53:57,240 --> 01:54:00,320
Speaker 2: if they are in position, the narrative is going to

2359
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,439
Speaker 2: be what we've talked about throughout tonight's show, which is, Wow,

2360
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 2: they were good without the quarterback, but now they got

2361
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,920
Speaker 2: the quarterback. I think it's easy. That's gonna be an

2362
01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 2: easy narrative to get behind. Sam Hartman was my pick

2363
01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 2: before today, Let the record show and it was now.

Speaker 2: update the Flora Jards.

2376
01:54:57,720 --> 01:55:00,000
Speaker 4: My friend, Well, we've got a lot of football to discuss,

2377
01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:03,240
Speaker 4: but two quick items. Leo Messi did wind up playing

2378
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 4: for Miami tonight as a sub scored late in the game.

2379
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:09,040
Speaker 4: Miami won its MLS game two nothing over New York

2380
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 4: Red Bulls, and we've talked about the awful season the

2381
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 4: Oakland A's are going through, and justifiably so. They lost

2382
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:17,360
Speaker 4: again tonight six to two at the White Sox. Of

2383
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 4: all teams, so Oakland's record is thirty eight and ninety two.

2384
01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:23,960
Speaker 4: But who's the worst team in the National League. The Rockies,

2385
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:26,040
Speaker 4: who lost their six in a row, lost five to

2386
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:29,160
Speaker 4: four at Baltimore and after tonight. According to stat Zinc,

2387
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,520
Speaker 4: the Rockies are the only MLB team in the modern

2388
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 4: era to in six straight games, hold the lead in

2389
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:39,520
Speaker 4: the sixth inning or later and still lose all sicks.

2390
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 4: It's been that kind of season. I don't know if

2391
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 4: you saw the finish to the Louisiana Tech game, their

2392
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 4: college football opener tonight. They were down against Florida International

2393
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,200
Speaker 4: seventeen to three late in the first half and still

2394
01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:54,440
Speaker 4: won the game twenty two to seventeen, even though they'd

2395
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 4: missed a late forty three yard field goal attempt. Later,

2396
01:55:57,080 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 4: Louisiana Tech scored the touchdown that put him ahead. It

2397
01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:03,680
Speaker 4: was a thirty yard run, and Florida International, in defeat,

2398
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 4: had eight first downs eight punts. Their passing attack I

2399
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 4: put attack in quotes four yards passing as a team

2400
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:16,960
Speaker 4: four tonight, and they were leading most of the game

2401
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 4: five for fourteen through the air, one interception, four yards passing.

2402
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:27,200
Speaker 4: I mentioned UMass already. They won forty one thirty at

2403
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 4: New Mexico State, new to Division one, apparently, can we

2404
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:34,040
Speaker 4: call it that? FBS Jacksonville State in Alabama beat UTEPS

2405
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:37,920
Speaker 4: seventeen to fourteen. UTEP three turnovers, including a late interception,

2406
01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:41,040
Speaker 4: and it's a final at Vanderbilt Finally, for over an

2407
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 4: hour and a half at the start, there was the

2408
01:56:42,600 --> 01:56:46,640
Speaker 4: lightning delay. Finally finished, Vandy holds on against Hawaii thirty

2409
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 4: five twenty eight. Hawaii did score two touchdowns in the

2410
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,879
Speaker 4: fourth quarter to make it interesting. Vanderbilt on the ground

2411
01:56:52,960 --> 01:56:56,480
Speaker 4: as a team twenty six carries just thirty nine yards

2412
01:56:56,560 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 4: rushing against Hawaii thirty nine yards rushing. What's it going

2413
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 4: to be like against Georgia on FS one Tonight? San

2414
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 4: Diego State held on to beat Ohio U twenty to thirteen.

2415
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 4: Ohio through three interceptions, and there were a couple of

2416
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 4: ranked teams in action the game in Dublin today, thirteenth

2417
01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:16,839
Speaker 4: ranked Notre Dame all over Navy forty two to three. Navy's,

2418
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:20,160
Speaker 4: of course, a service Academy a rushing team, they were

2419
01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 4: just two point six yards per carry three for seven

2420
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:26,840
Speaker 4: passing as a team, but despite forty eight carries, only

2421
01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 4: about one hundred and twenty five yards rushing for Navy today.

2422
01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 4: Sam Hartman, the new Irish quarterback, four touchdown passes Notre

2423
01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,800
Speaker 4: Dame with touchdowns on their first five drives. They never

2424
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 4: punted in the game, only had one penalty dominance in Dublin. Meanwhile,

2425
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:43,240
Speaker 4: at number six USC, the Trojans pulled away to beat

2426
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:46,120
Speaker 4: San Jose State fifty six to twenty eight. The Heisman

2427
01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 4: winner from last year, Caleb Williams with four touchdown passes.

2428
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:53,280
Speaker 4: Trojans led at halftime twenty one to fourteen. USC with

2429
01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:58,320
Speaker 4: eight touchdowns. In tonight's game, the late NFL exhibition Denver

2430
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:00,680
Speaker 4: forty one to nothing over the ram who finished oh

2431
01:58:00,760 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 4: to three in the preseason. Stetson Bennett two interceptions on

2432
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:09,360
Speaker 4: first downs Broncos a thirty three to eleven advantage. Dallas

2433
01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:13,800
Speaker 4: beat Vegas thirty one sixteen. Daniel Carlson, the Raiders kicker,

2434
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 4: did make field goals of forty four, fifty and sixty

2435
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:21,160
Speaker 4: two yards tonight. In the loss, Raiders running back Josh

2436
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:24,000
Speaker 4: Jacobs today ended his holdout. He has a new one

2437
01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 4: year contract. The news for Dallas at quarterback Dak Prescott

2438
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:32,000
Speaker 4: was Tonight's offensive coordinator. Will Greer got every snap before

2439
01:58:32,040 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 4: they cut him next week, two touchdown runs and two

2440
01:58:34,760 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 4: touchdown passes. He was twenty nine of thirty five three

2441
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:42,000
Speaker 4: hundred five yards passing and until he took a knee

2442
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 4: three times at the end. He had seven carries fifty

2443
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:48,600
Speaker 4: six yards rushing twenty eight first downs for the Dallas offense.

2444
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:51,680
Speaker 4: Jacksonville finished three to oh in the preseason thirty one

2445
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:53,920
Speaker 4: to eighteen over Miami. That was the contest that was

2446
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 4: called with under nine minutes to go due to a

2447
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 4: Dolphins injury. Travis etn one touchdown run. Tampa Bay sent

2448
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:02,840
Speaker 4: Ryan Jensen will miss this season also due to his

2449
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:05,839
Speaker 4: bad knee. Twenty six to twenty there final over Baltimore.

2450
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:09,440
Speaker 4: Tonight Bucks defense had five sacks. Kicker Chase McLoughlin is

2451
01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 4: with Tampa Bay now. He was four for four on

2452
01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:15,400
Speaker 4: field goals. Tonight quarterback Baker Mayfield six of six passing

2453
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:19,120
Speaker 4: forty three yards and a touchdown, and Washington got two

2454
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,480
Speaker 4: td passes in the second half from Jake FROMM and

2455
01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 4: beat Cincinnati twenty one nineteen to finish three and zero.

2456
01:59:24,360 --> 01:59:28,160
Speaker 4: In the preseason, Cincinnati, for what it's worth, went two

2457
01:59:28,200 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 4: and one.

2458
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:31,920
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Steve de Seger.

2459
01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:34,480
Speaker 2: By the way, Will Greer, I mean, you know, talk

2460
01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:36,879
Speaker 2: about taking advantage of an opportunity. I mean it stinks,

2461
01:59:37,320 --> 01:59:39,480
Speaker 2: but I I'm rooting for the guy. And by the way,

2462
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:42,120
Speaker 2: that's why I don't think we should be canceling games,

2463
01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:44,040
Speaker 2: because you know, you got guys fighting for their jobs.

2464
01:59:44,040 --> 01:59:46,280
Speaker 2: But Jay Marriga, say something real quick, No, I.

2465
01:59:46,240 --> 01:59:48,640
Speaker 1: Was disagreeing with you. I hope he hope he linds

2466
01:59:48,640 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: on his feet and glad he took the most of

2467
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:50,760
Speaker 1: the op.

2468
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:53,400

2489
02:00:54,640 --> 02:00:58,400
Speaker 2: peat Jason. Outside of college football, it was week Zeros.

2490
02:00:58,400 --> 02:01:02,920
Speaker 2: The seger just said USC wins in convincing fashion. It

2491
02:01:02,960 --> 02:01:06,040
Speaker 2: was close early h they pull away late Notre Dame.

2492
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:11,360
Speaker 2: It was very one sided in Ireland. I want to

2493
02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:13,560
Speaker 2: get to some NFL but but really quickly. We're not

2494
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:15,760
Speaker 2: gonna have a chance to talk before Week one next week,

2495
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:19,560
Speaker 2: So really quickly as far as college football is concerned,

2496
02:01:19,600 --> 02:01:22,080
Speaker 2: then we'll get back to the NFL. Give me one

2497
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:25,800
Speaker 2: storyline going into Week one, one game, one team that

2498
02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:28,240
Speaker 2: you're fascinated by, because by the time that we come

2499
02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:31,120
Speaker 2: on air next week, most of the marquee teams in

2500
02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:34,040
Speaker 2: college football will have made their debuts and will have

2501
02:01:34,080 --> 02:01:34,920
Speaker 2: played their first game.

2502
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's true. I mean we're gonna get.

2503
02:01:39,640 --> 02:01:41,440
Speaker 3: The big ones actually Sunday, Sunday night.

2504
02:01:42,160 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's obviously the one that has my attention

2505
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:47,760
Speaker 1: probably the most. And then Monday will be interesting, right Yeah,

2506
02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Duke with a nine win team last year, I don't

2507
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,040
Speaker 1: know that that's gonna be as competitive as it sounds,

2508
02:01:54,040 --> 02:01:58,480
Speaker 1: but maybe, right you never know. I don't know if

2509
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:01,160
Speaker 1: there's like that matchup, that other match up on Saturday

2510
02:02:01,200 --> 02:02:05,400
Speaker 1: that just has my attention supremely. I am curious about

2511
02:02:05,480 --> 02:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Utah and Florida, yep, on Thursday that. I mean, we

2512
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:13,400
Speaker 1: saw that last year, and now you know, this year,

2513
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:16,120
Speaker 1: we have to see what Florida is because last year's

2514
02:02:16,280 --> 02:02:20,560
Speaker 1: didn't go very well in the first season with a

2515
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:22,800
Speaker 1: new regime and they need to turn that around. And

2516
02:02:22,840 --> 02:02:26,280
Speaker 1: then Utah brings their quarterback back and so came Rising

2517
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 1: is back and this one's at Utah. That is a

2518
02:02:29,160 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 1: tough place for Florida to start their season, But that

2519
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:34,960
Speaker 1: one feels like college football to me. Some of these

2520
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:37,680
Speaker 1: other matchups, I mean, and this happens in week one,

2521
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,240
Speaker 1: a lot of it doesn't feel very college football e

2522
02:02:40,440 --> 02:02:43,760
Speaker 1: in terms of the games that you just really care about.

2523
02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Other than there's just gonna be football everywhere on Saturday,

2524
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna be able to sit there and

2525
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 1: enjoy it all day long. But generally, I look at

2526
02:02:52,640 --> 02:02:55,680
Speaker 1: that Thursday night matchup and I say, I really really

2527
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:59,120
Speaker 1: am interested to see how both those football teams look

2528
02:02:59,680 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 1: out of the gates, and then certainly that Sunday night

2529
02:03:02,640 --> 02:03:04,120
Speaker 1: game should be an absolute gem.

2530
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, today it was fun, but I'm just looking even

2531
02:03:08,240 --> 02:03:12,600
Speaker 2: next Saturday, in the new Eastern Window. You have Tennessee Virginia,

2532
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:17,760
Speaker 2: you have TCU Colorado, Oklahoma makes its debut. Michigan will

2533
02:03:17,800 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 2: actually play as well. They're on Peacocks so they're streaming only.

2534
02:03:21,320 --> 02:03:22,960
Speaker 2: But I bring it up to just say, I mean,

2535
02:03:23,040 --> 02:03:25,240
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the first, like you know, have the

2536
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:27,560
Speaker 2: remote ready, because there's gonna be two three four games

2537
02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:30,520
Speaker 2: you want to flip between. As Jason said, Thursday night,

2538
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 2: a busy night highlighted by Florida and Utah. To Sega

2539
02:03:33,240 --> 02:03:37,160
Speaker 2: also mentioned earlier. Nebraska at Minnesota will be the opener

2540
02:03:37,280 --> 02:03:40,120
Speaker 2: on Fox, and so we'll talk, you know, we'll preview

2541
02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:42,280
Speaker 2: the games in the final segment. But I'm with you,

2542
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:45,440
Speaker 2: is you wish there was a little bit more of

2543
02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:47,960
Speaker 2: a marquee matchup or two. But I will say, you know,

2544
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:50,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna get some really good matchups over the first

2545
02:03:50,160 --> 02:03:51,160
Speaker 2: couple weeks of the season.

2546
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Let me throw one more at you late on me.

2547
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:56,600
Speaker 1: What do you got North Carolina? South Carolina? Sure, all right,

2548
02:03:56,640 --> 02:03:59,120
Speaker 1: so you've got Drake May. Everybody should be curious to

2549
02:03:59,160 --> 02:04:01,400
Speaker 1: see how that goes, especially after it didn't go very

2550
02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 1: well for Sam Howell when he had a lot of

2551
02:04:03,600 --> 02:04:05,760
Speaker 1: hype going into that year. We know what Drake May

2552
02:04:05,920 --> 02:04:09,120
Speaker 1: is slated to be, you know, top five in the

2553
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 1: NFL draft, maybe top three in the NFL draft. But

2554
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 1: is a team around him going to make him look good?

2555
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:18,920
Speaker 1: And South Carolina I liked them last year. They weren't

2556
02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:21,200
Speaker 1: quite up to Tennessee's level in terms of how that

2557
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:23,400
Speaker 1: even though they beat Tennessee, they weren't up to Sanna

2558
02:04:23,440 --> 02:04:25,640
Speaker 1: Seas level, and how they sort of advanced, but I

2559
02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:28,760
Speaker 1: liked the beam or higher and I liked what his

2560
02:04:28,880 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 1: team showed last year, and so I am very interested

2561
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:34,600
Speaker 1: in that matchup. That's a that's a pretty solid matchup

2562
02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:36,960
Speaker 1: for Week one two. If you just want one that's sneaky,

2563
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:40,280
Speaker 1: that's there for you. You know, that's a primetime window

2564
02:04:40,360 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: game that's gonna be happening while we're you know, either

2565
02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:45,320
Speaker 1: right right before we go on there, maybe that one's

2566
02:04:45,360 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna come to an end, and then hey, you got

2567
02:04:47,360 --> 02:04:50,360
Speaker 1: them picked in the top four. Penn State West Virginia, yep.

2568
02:04:50,840 --> 02:04:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's another one that's happening at the same time.

2569
02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:55,520
Speaker 1: So there's a few intriguing matchups. I mean, there's nothing

2570
02:04:56,800 --> 02:04:59,640
Speaker 1: monumental on that Saturday, but there's definitely gonna be stuff

2571
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:01,920
Speaker 1: to watch, and of course it's college football, so there's

2572
02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna be some craziness.

2573
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2574
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:06,320
Speaker 2: It just like going back to this afternoon. It just

2575
02:05:06,400 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 2: felt like the Notre Dame stuff was fun, but once

2576
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:11,080
Speaker 2: it got out of hand, you were like, man, I

2577
02:05:11,080 --> 02:05:13,120
Speaker 2: want that second screen. And then there was sort of

2578
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:16,000
Speaker 2: you know, like the UTEP Jacksonville State game kind of started.

2579
02:05:16,360 --> 02:05:19,680
Speaker 2: But next Saturday is when even if the games aren't great.

2580
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:22,480
Speaker 2: First of all, we know something's gonna happen that we're

2581
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:26,120
Speaker 2: not expecting. I don't know what it is, but it's

2582
02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:29,320
Speaker 2: gonna be fun. And it all starts. Really, it really

2583
02:05:29,360 --> 02:05:31,920
Speaker 2: ramps up on Thursday, as we said, a couple of

2584
02:05:31,960 --> 02:05:35,400
Speaker 2: marquee games, including Florida at Utah. And you're right, Jason,

2585
02:05:35,480 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 2: you talk about you know, like I said, Notre Dame

2586
02:05:37,720 --> 02:05:40,560
Speaker 2: was fun today, but even the stadium, it didn't feel

2587
02:05:40,560 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 2: like college football necessarily. Now you get you know, seventy

2588
02:05:44,440 --> 02:05:46,400
Speaker 2: eighty thousand, whatever it is in Salt Lake City with

2589
02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:48,600
Speaker 2: an SEC team coming to town, that's gonna be awesome.

2590
02:05:48,600 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you one more, one more. I'm getting everybody

2591
02:05:51,040 --> 02:05:54,800
Speaker 1: fired up for college football. Yeah, tell me Colorado at TC.

2592
02:05:55,120 --> 02:05:55,840
Speaker 3: That's the one man.

2593
02:05:56,520 --> 02:05:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Dion, everything Colorado does, I can't wait to

2594
02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:02,280
Speaker 1: week after week after week. I don't care if they're

2595
02:06:02,280 --> 02:06:04,920
Speaker 1: three and eight. I'm still watching the end of that

2596
02:06:04,960 --> 02:06:08,040
Speaker 1: season because I want to see how this goes. I'm

2597
02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:12,200
Speaker 1: very I'm up on Dion. I think that Dion can

2598
02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:14,520
Speaker 1: get the job done. How long is he going to

2599
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:16,800
Speaker 1: be there? What does getting the job mean? Do? I

2600
02:06:16,840 --> 02:06:19,360
Speaker 1: think it means a national championship, probably not, but I

2601
02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:20,880
Speaker 1: want to see what that team looks like. And of

2602
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:23,120
Speaker 1: course TCU coming off well. The last time we saw

2603
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:25,520
Speaker 1: them was not very good, but they had a great

2604
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:29,120
Speaker 1: year last year. They're a top twenty ranked team entering

2605
02:06:29,200 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 1: this season. They've got this game at home. I am

2606
02:06:32,240 --> 02:06:33,360
Speaker 1: interested to watch that one.

2607
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:33,720
Speaker 6: Also.

2608
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I said it last time we were feeling

2609
02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:37,440
Speaker 2: in for Jason and Mike. I might have mentioned it

2610
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:42,440
Speaker 2: in previous weeks as well. If Colorado the win lost

2611
02:06:42,480 --> 02:06:45,760
Speaker 2: record isn't great, I don't think that's a reflection that

2612
02:06:45,800 --> 02:06:48,280
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders can't coach. He had He was very successful

2613
02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:50,760
Speaker 2: at Jackson State, was a very successful high school coach.

2614
02:06:52,040 --> 02:06:53,840
Speaker 2: I just think it's a reflection. And by the way,

2615
02:06:53,880 --> 02:06:56,160
Speaker 2: it's also not a reflection of, oh he did it wrong,

2616
02:06:56,280 --> 02:06:59,360
Speaker 2: why did he run off? So No, the Pac twelve

2617
02:06:59,720 --> 02:07:04,080
Speaker 2: week can criticize the lack of postseason success. Whatever. It's

2618
02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:06,280
Speaker 2: gonna be really good this year. I mentioned it last night.

2619
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:09,960
Speaker 2: I'll repeat it here. Colorado's schedule just in the first

2620
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:13,880
Speaker 2: month of the season, just before the end of September,

2621
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:16,879
Speaker 2: we're talking about a team that has to go to TCU,

2622
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:22,160
Speaker 2: the national runners up host Nebraska goes to Oregon and

2623
02:07:22,200 --> 02:07:27,600
Speaker 2: then hosts USC That's three Top twenty teams plus Nebraska

2624
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:30,400
Speaker 2: at home, and that's just before the end of September,

2625
02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:32,880
Speaker 2: and that doesn't include later on in the year. They're

2626
02:07:32,880 --> 02:07:35,520
Speaker 2: obviously gonna play the Utah's of the world, the UCLA's

2627
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:38,640
Speaker 2: of the world. So if Colorado, if it's first of all,

2628
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:40,880
Speaker 2: by the way, if it's four and eight, that is

2629
02:07:40,920 --> 02:07:43,240
Speaker 2: a three win improvement from a year ago, you know,

2630
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:46,720
Speaker 2: So I know, because of who he is, the bluster

2631
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:50,200
Speaker 2: that comes with Dion Sanders, you know, I think a

2632
02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:52,080
Speaker 2: lot of people would deem four and eight to be

2633
02:07:52,120 --> 02:07:55,160
Speaker 2: a failure. Four and eight would be a rousing success

2634
02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:58,920
Speaker 2: off of last year. So I'm with you though. Regardless,

2635
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be watching everything and I'm so excited. They

2636
02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,800
Speaker 2: actually are in that Fox window back to back weeks.

2637
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:09,120
Speaker 2: So they open again at on the road at TCU

2638
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:12,840
Speaker 2: next week, and then the following Saturday will be coach

2639
02:08:12,920 --> 02:08:16,840
Speaker 2: Prime's home opener against Nebraska for the old school college

2640
02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:20,040
Speaker 2: football fans, a fun kind of throwback to what was

2641
02:08:20,120 --> 02:08:25,080
Speaker 2: once a great Big Twelve and Big Eight rivalry. Obviously,

2642
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:27,440
Speaker 2: Colorado going back to the Big twelve.

2643
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:28,760
Speaker 1: Unless we forget Matt Rule.

2644
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's that's Thursday night. Yees, So Thursday night

2645
02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:38,600
Speaker 2: Matt Rule. We'll He'll open against at Minnesota, and he's

2646
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:40,280
Speaker 2: another one, Jason, I'll say this, We'll just stick with

2647
02:08:40,280 --> 02:08:41,800
Speaker 2: college football for now because there's.

2648
02:08:41,640 --> 02:08:42,560
Speaker 3: So much to get into.

2649
02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 2: He's another one that like, first of all, at Minnesota

2650
02:08:48,040 --> 02:08:48,960
Speaker 2: you can make fun of PJ.

2651
02:08:49,080 --> 02:08:50,320
Speaker 3: Fleck and you don't like what.

2652
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:53,000
Speaker 2: They won nine games last year, and then at Colorado

2653
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 2: those are his first two games, and then by the

2654
02:08:55,240 --> 02:08:56,960
Speaker 2: end of the month he has to play Michigan at home,

2655
02:08:57,360 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 2: and he still has later on in the year the

2656
02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:02,880
Speaker 2: rest of the ten schedule Wisconsin whatever they do, avoid

2657
02:09:02,880 --> 02:09:04,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State and Penn State.

2658
02:09:04,560 --> 02:09:06,640
Speaker 3: But that's another one. If you know, Matt.

2659
02:09:06,520 --> 02:09:10,080
Speaker 2: Rule historically in his first stops has been it's been

2660
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:12,000
Speaker 2: a slow start. He was one and eleven in Baylor

2661
02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:13,640
Speaker 2: in his first year, and he was eleven and one

2662
02:09:13,680 --> 02:09:18,240
Speaker 2: by by the time it was all done. So you know,

2663
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:20,880
Speaker 2: I don't think if if it goes sideways those first

2664
02:09:20,920 --> 02:09:23,160
Speaker 2: two weeks, Minnesota again on the road to open the

2665
02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:25,760
Speaker 2: season is not going to be easy. That's another one, Jason.

2666
02:09:26,320 --> 02:09:29,000
Speaker 2: If it goes four and eight, five, and seven this

2667
02:09:29,120 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 2: first year. I'm not terrified that he's the wrong hire,

2668
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:33,280
Speaker 2: it's not gonna work or anything like that.

2669
02:09:33,480 --> 02:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think there's gonna be no reason to

2670
02:09:36,200 --> 02:09:39,920
Speaker 1: overreact to anything that happens to Colorado this year. I

2671
02:09:39,960 --> 02:09:43,160
Speaker 1: think that Brom's gonna do it his way. And I

2672
02:09:43,240 --> 02:09:44,640
Speaker 1: kind of look at this similar to the way I

2673
02:09:44,640 --> 02:09:46,760
Speaker 1: looked at the enemy, right, Like, you can't just criticize

2674
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:48,520
Speaker 1: him because of the way he came in and cleaned house,

2675
02:09:48,560 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 1: because that was an awful football team, and he's coming

2676
02:09:51,280 --> 02:09:53,000
Speaker 1: to take that job and he's coming in and he's

2677
02:09:53,040 --> 02:09:57,320
Speaker 1: effectively saying, man, nothing against you, but this is business,

2678
02:09:57,320 --> 02:09:59,240
Speaker 1: and I think we can do better than this. And

2679
02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:01,080
Speaker 1: I know that's sound harsh, but that's just kind of

2680
02:10:01,080 --> 02:10:04,920
Speaker 1: how it works. And I don't I don't fault him

2681
02:10:04,960 --> 02:10:07,120
Speaker 1: for that. He's gonna have to get his guys in there.

2682
02:10:07,160 --> 02:10:09,240
Speaker 1: And because of the way things are set up now

2683
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:12,720
Speaker 1: with NIL and with the transfer portal and all this,

2684
02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:16,600
Speaker 1: he can kind of do that on a faster track

2685
02:10:17,200 --> 02:10:18,680
Speaker 1: then we used to see. We talked about that with

2686
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley last year when he got to USC. We

2687
02:10:21,440 --> 02:10:23,640
Speaker 1: don't have to wait for four years until he gets

2688
02:10:23,680 --> 02:10:26,800
Speaker 1: his guys, things have changed. If you get the right coach,

2689
02:10:27,160 --> 02:10:30,040
Speaker 1: you could turn things around a lot faster than that now,

2690
02:10:30,080 --> 02:10:32,960
Speaker 1: which also means we could start asking coaches to take

2691
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:38,680
Speaker 1: responsibility faster for mediocrity or failure or whatever. But in

2692
02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:43,240
Speaker 1: this case, I don't. I mean, we'll see how well

2693
02:10:43,320 --> 02:10:45,960
Speaker 1: Dion did here with the moves that he made, but

2694
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't fault him for coming in and you know,

2695
02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:50,080
Speaker 1: pretty much pushing in a lot of those guys out

2696
02:10:50,160 --> 02:10:53,800
Speaker 1: because with all due respect to them, they didn't get

2697
02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:56,720
Speaker 1: anything done. And he came in, and he came in

2698
02:10:57,080 --> 02:11:01,120
Speaker 1: with a pedigree of being around a winning culture, and

2699
02:11:01,200 --> 02:11:03,560
Speaker 1: so it doesn't surprise me at all that he kind

2700
02:11:03,600 --> 02:11:06,360
Speaker 1: of wasn't a fan of walking in and just seeing

2701
02:11:06,360 --> 02:11:08,160
Speaker 1: stuff where he's just like, I can't win with this.

2702
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,840
Speaker 2: I don't disagree, And I just think to me, it

2703
02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:15,120
Speaker 2: speaks to like the only difference between Dion and most

2704
02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:17,520
Speaker 2: of these other guys is he was just very public

2705
02:11:17,520 --> 02:11:20,200
Speaker 2: about it, like he's just got cameras everywhere, and he

2706
02:11:20,280 --> 02:11:21,200
Speaker 2: tells you how it is.

2707
02:11:21,280 --> 02:11:22,800
Speaker 3: And in his opening uh, in.

2708
02:11:23,240 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 2: His opening conversation with the team, we all remember the

2709
02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 2: famous uh you know, uh uh you know, I'm bringing

2710
02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:33,000
Speaker 2: my own luggage and it's Louis. It's like he's the

2711
02:11:33,440 --> 02:11:36,600
Speaker 2: only difference between Dion and everybody else is that he's

2712
02:11:36,720 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 2: just super transparent about it. And so I have absolutely

2713
02:11:41,240 --> 02:11:43,960
Speaker 2: no problem with with with how he operates. And again,

2714
02:11:44,040 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 2: I think it's a it's an evolving world in college

2715
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:49,880
Speaker 2: sports where you know, the the transfer portals is a

2716
02:11:49,920 --> 02:11:52,400
Speaker 2: two way street. If if guys can leave whenever they

2717
02:11:52,400 --> 02:11:55,680
Speaker 2: want to leave, uh, you know, then it in theory

2718
02:11:55,720 --> 02:11:56,840
Speaker 2: should work the other way.

2719
02:11:57,280 --> 02:11:57,440
Speaker 6: Uh.

2720
02:11:57,480 --> 02:12:00,000
Speaker 2: And then also withinn Il and so it's it's interesting.

2721
02:12:00,160 --> 02:12:01,480
Speaker 2: I'll try to be quick on this because I don't

2722
02:12:01,480 --> 02:12:02,840
Speaker 2: have the exact quote in front of me, but Nick

2723
02:12:02,840 --> 02:12:05,120
Speaker 2: Saban did an interview which with our own Joel Klatt

2724
02:12:05,160 --> 02:12:07,560
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, and Nick Saban kind of talked

2725
02:12:07,600 --> 02:12:09,520
Speaker 2: about this as he said something to the effect of,

2726
02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:15,640
Speaker 2: you know, it's you know, it's it's become it's become

2727
02:12:15,680 --> 02:12:18,800
Speaker 2: almost to the to to one sided the other way

2728
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:23,000
Speaker 2: from the perspective of we're giving you free education, housing,

2729
02:12:23,080 --> 02:12:26,160
Speaker 2: room board, now we're giving you nil. Like at some

2730
02:12:26,200 --> 02:12:29,080
Speaker 2: point you got to give something back, and so you

2731
02:12:29,120 --> 02:12:31,280
Speaker 2: feel bad for any individual kid that kind of gets

2732
02:12:31,320 --> 02:12:33,560
Speaker 2: caught in the crossfire. But we always say this is

2733
02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:36,280
Speaker 2: a business right. Whatever a kid commits, whatever he makes

2734
02:12:36,280 --> 02:12:39,240
Speaker 2: a transfer, whatever, this is a business decision. Well, guess what,

2735
02:12:39,560 --> 02:12:42,120
Speaker 2: it's a Dion made a lot of business decisions here

2736
02:12:42,160 --> 02:12:43,240
Speaker 2: over the last couple of months.

2737
02:12:43,440 --> 02:12:45,720
Speaker 3: And again I don't blame him for anything that he's done.

2738
02:12:46,040 --> 02:12:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean what he said, what Saban basically said was

2739
02:12:47,920 --> 02:12:50,840
Speaker 1: at least one of the quotes was we're giving people scholarships,

2740
02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:54,680
Speaker 1: We're creating nil opportunities, but what is their commitment. There's

2741
02:12:54,720 --> 02:12:57,240
Speaker 1: no place in the world where you don't have a contract.

2742
02:12:57,400 --> 02:12:59,680
Speaker 1: If you're going to receive benefits, you have a contract

2743
02:12:59,760 --> 02:13:02,120
Speaker 1: and obligation to do a certain job.

2744
02:13:02,720 --> 02:13:04,040
Speaker 3: That was the exact quote.

2745
02:13:04,080 --> 02:13:07,600
Speaker 2: And I agree with them, and apparently Coach Private agrees

2746
02:13:07,640 --> 02:13:09,320

2779
02:14:46,560 --> 02:14:48,280
Speaker 2: joins us first, Bernie, what's up man?

2780
02:14:48,280 --> 02:14:49,240
Speaker 3: How you doing good?

2781
02:14:49,280 --> 02:14:51,400
Speaker 6: Guys? Hey, before we get to why I do think

2782
02:14:51,480 --> 02:14:54,640
Speaker 6: Georgia will three pete and why no one has in

2783
02:14:54,760 --> 02:14:59,600
Speaker 6: ninety years, real quickly that last Lions playoff win January

2784
02:14:59,600 --> 02:15:02,480
Speaker 6: fifthnineteen ninety two. They'd beat Dallas thirty eight to six.

2785
02:15:03,120 --> 02:15:06,360
Speaker 6: Believe it or not, since then, the Lions have actually

2786
02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:09,440
Speaker 6: been to the playoffs eight times. They just haven't won any.

2787
02:15:09,680 --> 02:15:11,600
Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, even after that playoff game,

2788
02:15:11,600 --> 02:15:14,120
Speaker 6: they hosted a home playoff game two years later, got

2789
02:15:14,160 --> 02:15:17,160
Speaker 6: to the playoffs five the next seven years. What's notable

2790
02:15:17,200 --> 02:15:20,160
Speaker 6: about that game? In ninety two, John Madden was on

2791
02:15:20,200 --> 02:15:22,120
Speaker 6: the call and he said, you're looking at the two

2792
02:15:22,160 --> 02:15:24,840
Speaker 6: teams of the nineties. He was half right. Dallas won

2793
02:15:24,880 --> 02:15:28,240
Speaker 6: three Super Bowls. Lions to win a playoff game.

2794
02:15:28,320 --> 02:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Since Lions took the wind, that was.

2795
02:15:32,080 --> 02:15:34,280
Speaker 6: Okay, that was I was covering the team. Then that

2796
02:15:34,320 --> 02:15:36,520
Speaker 6: was Marty morning Wagon two thousand and one, in scho cas.

2797
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Oh it actually wasn't the nineties.

2798
02:15:38,120 --> 02:15:42,840
Speaker 6: Ah No, it good memory though, because that turned into

2799
02:15:42,840 --> 02:15:46,080
Speaker 6: a great SoundBite for us. They went to overtime. The

2800
02:15:46,160 --> 02:15:49,760
Speaker 6: Bears drove down the field to tie the score, send

2801
02:15:49,800 --> 02:15:53,000
Speaker 6: the game in overtime, Marty morning Mug wins the toss

2802
02:15:53,040 --> 02:16:00,680
Speaker 6: and says, well to kick there's Oh God, don't get started, please,

2803
02:16:00,720 --> 02:16:02,080
Speaker 6: we could do the whole hour on it.

2804
02:16:02,320 --> 02:16:05,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so burn, So let's talk a little college football.

2805
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:07,800
Speaker 2: So I referenced earlier, Yeah, I did not pick Georgia

2806
02:16:07,800 --> 02:16:10,760
Speaker 2: to win the national championship. I just I think it's

2807
02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:13,000
Speaker 2: too hard. I think, you know, we have a track

2808
02:16:13,040 --> 02:16:15,880
Speaker 2: record of teams going for three. As you reference, it

2809
02:16:15,880 --> 02:16:19,560
Speaker 2: hasn't been done since the nineteen thirties, the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

2810
02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:23,360
Speaker 2: Why hasn't it been done? But also why can Georgia

2811
02:16:23,560 --> 02:16:25,040
Speaker 2: break this street could be the first team to do

2812
02:16:25,040 --> 02:16:25,920
Speaker 2: it in one hundred years?

2813
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:28,520
Speaker 6: You know, guys, it's such a simple reason why it

2814
02:16:28,560 --> 02:16:30,640
Speaker 6: hasn't been done, and it's right there in front of

2815
02:16:30,720 --> 02:16:34,240
Speaker 6: us because it's only been recently. The damn thing was

2816
02:16:34,280 --> 02:16:37,240
Speaker 6: decided on the field. Prior to that, it was left

2817
02:16:37,480 --> 02:16:41,120
Speaker 6: to the devices of the voters of AP and UPI,

2818
02:16:41,280 --> 02:16:43,640
Speaker 6: and I'm just going to give one example of a

2819
02:16:43,680 --> 02:16:46,920
Speaker 6: team that could have easily repeated the nineteen sixty six

2820
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:51,320
Speaker 6: Alabama Crimson tide eleven and zero. That year, six shutouts

2821
02:16:51,640 --> 02:16:54,959
Speaker 6: beat number six Nebraska thirty four to seven in the

2822
02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:59,160
Speaker 6: Sugar Bowl, and they weren't voted national champion. That's the

2823
02:16:59,240 --> 02:17:01,960
Speaker 6: year Michigan State tied Notre Dame and they were given

2824
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:05,480
Speaker 6: code National champions The voters had it in against Alabama,

2825
02:17:05,520 --> 02:17:08,000
Speaker 6: who'd won it in sixty four and sixty five, and

2826
02:17:08,040 --> 02:17:10,720
Speaker 6: ironically they won it in sixty four with Joe Namath

2827
02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:14,160
Speaker 6: the quarterback. Even though they lost to Texas in their

2828
02:17:14,200 --> 02:17:17,720
Speaker 6: ball game, they were still voted national champion. So up

2829
02:17:17,840 --> 02:17:22,440
Speaker 6: until now it's been really up to the voters. If

2830
02:17:22,440 --> 02:17:25,320
Speaker 6: you look at Georgia schedule, it's kind of hard to

2831
02:17:25,320 --> 02:17:28,879
Speaker 6: find a loss. Now they go to Tennessee November eighteenth,

2832
02:17:29,160 --> 02:17:31,600
Speaker 6: that's going to be their shortest number. Is a favorite.

2833
02:17:31,600 --> 02:17:33,200
Speaker 6: By the way, they're a prohibited favorite to win the

2834
02:17:33,280 --> 02:17:37,600
Speaker 6: national championship. They're two to one. It's presumed Georgia should

2835
02:17:37,640 --> 02:17:40,480
Speaker 6: be back in the playoff. They're loaded top to bottom.

2836
02:17:40,760 --> 02:17:43,680
Speaker 6: Carson Beck will be rolling by then once they get

2837
02:17:43,720 --> 02:17:46,120
Speaker 6: back to the playoff, we believe they'll be the odds

2838
02:17:46,160 --> 02:17:47,199
Speaker 6: on favorite to win it again.

2839
02:17:47,840 --> 02:17:50,119
Speaker 1: So who else do you like? We went through our

2840
02:17:50,320 --> 02:17:53,800
Speaker 1: entire top four. We won't necessarily require that, but if

2841
02:17:53,800 --> 02:17:54,959
Speaker 1: you have it, we'd love to hear.

2842
02:17:54,920 --> 02:17:58,400
Speaker 6: It off the top of my head, in no particular order,

2843
02:17:59,040 --> 02:18:03,400
Speaker 6: Georgia alib Ohio State, and the winner of LSU Florida State,

2844
02:18:03,400 --> 02:18:04,560
Speaker 6: which you'd be coming up here short.

2845
02:18:05,120 --> 02:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you that that was a swing game

2846
02:18:06,800 --> 02:18:09,000
Speaker 2: for both Jason and I. I have Florida State in

2847
02:18:09,040 --> 02:18:12,960
Speaker 2: my playoff, He has LSU and his playoff, So that

2848
02:18:13,120 --> 02:18:14,480
Speaker 2: is a big swing game.

2849
02:18:14,520 --> 02:18:16,119
Speaker 3: As I mentioned earlier, it's.

2850
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:19,680
Speaker 2: Really interesting because obviously next year, in a twelve team playoff,

2851
02:18:20,040 --> 02:18:22,960
Speaker 2: games like that won't have that Week one significance. Really

2852
02:18:23,040 --> 02:18:26,720
Speaker 2: quick burn and we obviously did just wrap Week zero.

2853
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:30,480
Speaker 2: What were the big bets in Vegas? And I assume

2854
02:18:30,520 --> 02:18:32,760
Speaker 2: people rushed to the window just because they were so

2855
02:18:32,840 --> 02:18:35,279
Speaker 2: happy to have football on in front of them.

2856
02:18:35,640 --> 02:18:39,680
Speaker 6: Oh, there's no question. The handle was very brisk. The

2857
02:18:39,800 --> 02:18:43,959
Speaker 6: sharpest bet on the board today was UMass catching ten.

2858
02:18:44,520 --> 02:18:46,920
Speaker 6: It got beat all the way down to seven. Obviously,

2859
02:18:47,240 --> 02:18:49,920
Speaker 6: they went out right a lot of folks love to

2860
02:18:49,959 --> 02:18:54,760
Speaker 6: Notre Dame. They completely destroyed Navy. I gotta tell you, guys,

2861
02:18:55,400 --> 02:18:58,039
Speaker 6: the Service Academy is usually at least block and tackle. Well,

2862
02:18:58,360 --> 02:18:59,680
Speaker 6: I had to do a double tick. I thought I

2863
02:18:59,680 --> 02:19:01,280
Speaker 6: was looking Bishop Sycamore Oper.

2864
02:19:01,480 --> 02:19:04,680
Speaker 1: Oh, well done, though too soon?

2865
02:19:05,400 --> 02:19:09,280
Speaker 2: Look if it never existed, is it too soon? I

2866
02:19:09,280 --> 02:19:11,199
Speaker 2: mean it was all a figment of our imaginations.

2867
02:19:11,400 --> 02:19:14,360
Speaker 6: Well, listen last year, guys, that game was thirty five

2868
02:19:14,480 --> 02:19:16,880
Speaker 6: thirty two, and I realized Navy finished four and eight

2869
02:19:17,520 --> 02:19:20,920
Speaker 6: and they fired you know, Ken Unam out to Lulu.

2870
02:19:21,360 --> 02:19:23,480
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I can't think of his name, but I

2871
02:19:23,520 --> 02:19:25,400
Speaker 6: got the Ken part right. The bottom line is this,

2872
02:19:25,600 --> 02:19:28,160
Speaker 6: I expected an effort. I'm so glad I stayed away

2873
02:19:28,160 --> 02:19:31,240
Speaker 6: from that game because it was a trendy play that

2874
02:19:31,600 --> 02:19:35,680
Speaker 6: you know, you take the twenty points because well, Notre

2875
02:19:35,760 --> 02:19:38,400
Speaker 6: Dame can't really guard against the you know, the triple option.

2876
02:19:38,480 --> 02:19:40,720
Speaker 6: You can't practice. Well, it turns out you can if

2877
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:42,160
Speaker 6: you got a year to prepare for it, if you

2878
02:19:42,240 --> 02:19:44,160
Speaker 6: go week to week to week and you got to

2879
02:19:44,240 --> 02:19:46,440
Speaker 6: jump next to quote travel and all that. But something

2880
02:19:46,600 --> 02:19:48,760
Speaker 6: this this Navy team. I can't think of the name

2881
02:19:48,800 --> 02:19:51,279
Speaker 6: of that poor quarterback I think he completed two passes

2882
02:19:51,320 --> 02:19:54,680
Speaker 6: for four yards. I'm pretty sure his heisman odds took

2883
02:19:54,720 --> 02:19:57,320
Speaker 6: a real hit today. But beyond that, beyond that, the

2884
02:19:58,040 --> 02:20:00,680
Speaker 6: people got on Notre Dame, people got on the USC

2885
02:20:00,920 --> 02:20:03,119
Speaker 6: over and the trendy.

2886
02:20:03,200 --> 02:20:07,200
Speaker 1: The big play was UMass so Burne. We previewed the

2887
02:20:07,360 --> 02:20:10,720
Speaker 1: entire NFC in the second hour of the show, division

2888
02:20:10,720 --> 02:20:13,720
Speaker 1: by division, and we actually agreed on all four, which

2889
02:20:13,760 --> 02:20:16,080
Speaker 1: I didn't anticipate, and I don't think that will be

2890
02:20:16,160 --> 02:20:18,360
Speaker 1: a repeat next week when we do the AFC. But

2891
02:20:18,480 --> 02:20:21,760
Speaker 1: when we did the NFC South, we both came down

2892
02:20:21,840 --> 02:20:25,080
Speaker 1: with the Panthers. And my point was some just doesn't

2893
02:20:25,080 --> 02:20:28,720
Speaker 1: feel right to me about Derek Carr's old team, but

2894
02:20:28,879 --> 02:20:31,880
Speaker 1: definitely not his new team either. How do you feel

2895
02:20:31,920 --> 02:20:32,879
Speaker 1: about the Saints.

2896
02:20:33,160 --> 02:20:36,280
Speaker 6: Well, I'm not a deerk car guy, and I'm guessing

2897
02:20:36,320 --> 02:20:39,760
Speaker 6: when he played against the Saints last October, the fact

2898
02:20:39,800 --> 02:20:42,920
Speaker 6: that he couldn't cross midfield the entire game must have

2899
02:20:42,920 --> 02:20:45,120
Speaker 6: really impressed the Saints, because that's why they signed him.

2900
02:20:45,160 --> 02:20:50,080
Speaker 6: I guess sixty well, you know sixty three and seventy

2901
02:20:50,160 --> 02:20:52,199
Speaker 6: nine is a starter. You are what your record says.

2902
02:20:52,200 --> 02:20:55,040
Speaker 6: You are. Never been particularly great on third down, that's

2903
02:20:55,040 --> 02:20:57,440
Speaker 6: the money down. Never been particularly great in the red zone.

2904
02:20:57,640 --> 02:21:00,440
Speaker 6: Let's just take a look at last season. I already here,

2905
02:21:00,480 --> 02:21:02,280
Speaker 6: and he never had a defense. Well, he had Josh

2906
02:21:02,360 --> 02:21:04,480
Speaker 6: Jacobs who ran for a million yards, and he had

2907
02:21:04,520 --> 02:21:07,039
Speaker 6: DeVante Adams who had a fabulous year. And in spite

2908
02:21:07,040 --> 02:21:10,920
Speaker 6: of all that, Derek Carr's QB rank last year was

2909
02:21:10,959 --> 02:21:14,200
Speaker 6: twenty ninth. Completed only sixty percent of his passes, only

2910
02:21:14,240 --> 02:21:16,520
Speaker 6: threw for two hundred and thirty four yards a game

2911
02:21:16,560 --> 02:21:21,040
Speaker 6: that ranked sixteenth. Pass Yards per attempt ranked nineteenth. Touchdown

2912
02:21:21,040 --> 02:21:25,560
Speaker 6: to interception ratio through twenty four touchdown passes fourteenth interceptions

2913
02:21:25,560 --> 02:21:28,640
Speaker 6: at ranked twenty first. His passer rating cumulucy was only

2914
02:21:28,720 --> 02:21:31,160
Speaker 6: eighty six point three. That ranked for twenty fourth. He

2915
02:21:31,160 --> 02:21:33,000
Speaker 6: did not rank in the top half in any of

2916
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:35,760
Speaker 6: those categories. So for good defense, he didn't do it

2917
02:21:35,800 --> 02:21:38,760
Speaker 6: off on the offensive side of the ball. Whenever there

2918
02:21:38,760 --> 02:21:43,440
Speaker 6: are expectations, Derek Carr is not there, I'm gonna call

2919
02:21:43,440 --> 02:21:45,720
Speaker 6: it as I see it. Is he a good man, yes,

2920
02:21:46,000 --> 02:21:50,120
Speaker 6: Can he play the position, yes he can. But when

2921
02:21:50,160 --> 02:21:55,200
Speaker 6: the situation demands greatness, can he be great? I've not

2922
02:21:55,320 --> 02:21:57,440
Speaker 6: seen it in ten years. I don't think he shows

2923
02:21:57,520 --> 02:21:59,560
Speaker 6: up in New Orleans and starts now burn.

2924
02:21:59,800 --> 02:22:01,240
Speaker 2: I want to go back to college for a second,

2925
02:22:01,280 --> 02:22:02,320
Speaker 2: and I'm going to throw you a little bit of

2926
02:22:02,360 --> 02:22:06,039
Speaker 2: a curveball here the Marquee game on Thursday night. Jason

2927
02:22:06,040 --> 02:22:10,760
Speaker 2: and I just talked about Florida in Utah. Obviously Nebraska

2928
02:22:11,040 --> 02:22:13,440
Speaker 2: Minnesota as well. Don't want to undersell that one. But

2929
02:22:13,560 --> 02:22:17,640
Speaker 2: with Utah there's a lot of speculation about the health

2930
02:22:17,640 --> 02:22:19,720
Speaker 2: of their starting quarterback, Cam Rising, who got hurt in

2931
02:22:19,760 --> 02:22:21,960
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl last year. I just bring it up

2932
02:22:22,040 --> 02:22:25,600
Speaker 2: because one, I'm curious if that has been a buzzy

2933
02:22:25,640 --> 02:22:29,440
Speaker 2: topic in Vegas, and maybe it's one you're not necessarily

2934
02:22:29,480 --> 02:22:33,160
Speaker 2: on top of. But two, in a week one situation where,

2935
02:22:33,360 --> 02:22:36,600
Speaker 2: especially in college, where there is no preseason, how do

2936
02:22:36,680 --> 02:22:39,080
Speaker 2: you and your crew and handicappers, how do you go

2937
02:22:39,120 --> 02:22:41,879
Speaker 2: about evaluating a team like Utah that we just don't

2938
02:22:41,959 --> 02:22:44,360
Speaker 2: know if the starting quarterback is actually going to be available.

2939
02:22:44,480 --> 02:22:47,359
Speaker 6: Now, you look at continuity, you look at returning starters,

2940
02:22:47,400 --> 02:22:50,920
Speaker 6: you look at returning production. Utah's defense will be very

2941
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:53,640
Speaker 6: very good. I see this spread with ten and a half,

2942
02:22:53,720 --> 02:22:56,480
Speaker 6: it's now down to seven. I don't know that Florida

2943
02:22:56,520 --> 02:22:59,280
Speaker 6: has a capable replacement for Anthony Richardson, and they pulled

2944
02:22:59,320 --> 02:23:00,920
Speaker 6: that game out on the left. That's minute. Last year

2945
02:23:00,959 --> 02:23:04,400
Speaker 6: in Florida, You're gonna see a very motivated Utah team.

2946
02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:06,520
Speaker 6: This Utah team is good. They got something to prove

2947
02:23:06,560 --> 02:23:10,240
Speaker 6: in their final swan song in the PAC twelve. I

2948
02:23:10,280 --> 02:23:12,400
Speaker 6: am not going to be on the game, but you

2949
02:23:12,680 --> 02:23:15,240
Speaker 6: is a good question, Aaron. Look, you start with the

2950
02:23:15,280 --> 02:23:18,240
Speaker 6: math and then you look at the spot, and you

2951
02:23:18,240 --> 02:23:20,680
Speaker 6: you try to look at strengths versus weaknesses. And I

2952
02:23:20,680 --> 02:23:23,920
Speaker 6: still like Utah's defense better than Florida's offense. So light

2953
02:23:24,040 --> 02:23:25,920
Speaker 6: lean to Utah. But I'm not on the game.

2954
02:23:26,800 --> 02:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Michigan, and you know, round robin coaching, we got relatives

2955
02:23:31,640 --> 02:23:34,080
Speaker 1: of Jim Harbaugh out there, we got Mike hard out there,

2956
02:23:34,120 --> 02:23:37,200
Speaker 1: we got all sorts of things going on. Your thoughts

2957
02:23:37,240 --> 02:23:39,199
Speaker 1: on all of this at.

2958
02:23:39,040 --> 02:23:44,360
Speaker 6: Michigan, Well, look, Michigan, it's set up. We'll they got

2959
02:23:44,360 --> 02:23:46,200
Speaker 6: two games on their schedule, well Hio State and at

2960
02:23:46,200 --> 02:23:49,480
Speaker 6: Penn State. We'll see what happens. I'm not crowning them anything.

2961
02:23:49,640 --> 02:23:52,360
Speaker 6: This would be so on brand for Harball to screw

2962
02:23:52,400 --> 02:23:54,200
Speaker 6: this up. He did it in twenty sixteen. They were

2963
02:23:54,280 --> 02:23:56,840
Speaker 6: cruised along. They lost the game late at Iowa. Then

2964
02:23:56,840 --> 02:23:58,800
Speaker 6: they got hammered by Ohio State, then got blown out

2965
02:23:58,800 --> 02:24:00,320
Speaker 6: in their bowl game. By the way, Harball one and

2966
02:24:00,480 --> 02:24:03,720
Speaker 6: seven in bowl games. Then in twenty nineteen, remember the

2967
02:24:03,920 --> 02:24:07,640
Speaker 6: legendary Chase Winovich revenge tour. How that work out? Look,

2968
02:24:07,879 --> 02:24:10,160
Speaker 6: let's just see what happens on the field, because Michigan

2969
02:24:10,240 --> 02:24:14,560
Speaker 6: should be very good and their first five games are stupid.

2970
02:24:15,240 --> 02:24:19,000
Speaker 6: Here's the larger story. Guys. You've got the Michigan football program,

2971
02:24:19,080 --> 02:24:21,480
Speaker 6: and then you got Jim Harbaugh. What they did this

2972
02:24:21,560 --> 02:24:25,120
Speaker 6: last week which launched They launched a preemptive on the

2973
02:24:25,160 --> 02:24:29,280
Speaker 6: three game self imposed suspension. I now know. I was

2974
02:24:29,320 --> 02:24:31,040
Speaker 6: on the phone a lot this week. The NCAA wants

2975
02:24:31,080 --> 02:24:33,720
Speaker 6: an apology. They want an apology from Harball, and they

2976
02:24:33,760 --> 02:24:37,400
Speaker 6: wanted admission that he was not truthful during the investigation.

2977
02:24:37,959 --> 02:24:40,240
Speaker 6: Started out on the cheeseburger deal. I didn't do it,

2978
02:24:40,280 --> 02:24:42,039
Speaker 6: then I don't remember, and it got worse from there.

2979
02:24:42,280 --> 02:24:44,240
Speaker 6: Harball got pissedy. What are you picking on me for?

2980
02:24:44,280 --> 02:24:46,480
Speaker 6: We're a clean program. That's why we know we don't

2981
02:24:46,480 --> 02:24:48,959
Speaker 6: win national championships. We do things right. You got bigger

2982
02:24:48,959 --> 02:24:51,040
Speaker 6: fish to fry like, what's going on with Nil? What

2983
02:24:51,080 --> 02:24:52,800
Speaker 6: do you wasting your time with me? Okay, you want

2984
02:24:52,800 --> 02:24:55,200
Speaker 6: to do that, Harball, you want to piss us off?

2985
02:24:55,360 --> 02:24:58,600
Speaker 6: Will be like Chas Palmentarry in the Bronx tail. Now

2986
02:24:58,720 --> 02:25:01,160
Speaker 6: you just can't leave. Now we're looking at you. How

2987
02:25:01,160 --> 02:25:04,480
Speaker 6: about the zoom call? How about the other text messages?

2988
02:25:04,520 --> 02:25:06,959
Speaker 6: How about the illegal recruiting, how about you know, the

2989
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:08,840
Speaker 6: practice time A lot of it's really kind of a

2990
02:25:08,840 --> 02:25:11,520
Speaker 6: big nothing to be fair. But when you don't cooperate,

2991
02:25:11,520 --> 02:25:12,880
Speaker 6: they don't like it. So Michigan goes, we got to

2992
02:25:12,879 --> 02:25:16,080
Speaker 6: get out ahead of this because the NCAA is not

2993
02:25:16,120 --> 02:25:19,000
Speaker 6: gonna forget, and the Committee on Infractions is not gonna forget.

2994
02:25:19,160 --> 02:25:21,400
Speaker 6: This is gonna carry over to twenty twenty four. What

2995
02:25:21,440 --> 02:25:24,320
Speaker 6: if Harball's not here, What if he's not here, They're

2996
02:25:24,360 --> 02:25:26,280
Speaker 6: gonna still come after us. They're not gonna let us off.

2997
02:25:26,280 --> 02:25:28,920
Speaker 6: The look. Now, let's get to that b part. That's

2998
02:25:28,920 --> 02:25:32,320
Speaker 6: a tease. I really believe Harball will look fervently in

2999
02:25:32,320 --> 02:25:34,600
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four if he has a good year, whatever

3000
02:25:34,640 --> 02:25:38,120
Speaker 6: that may be. His people are like, hey, you know,

3001
02:25:38,320 --> 02:25:41,480
Speaker 6: Harball's fifty nine years old, top of his game. Let's

3002
02:25:41,520 --> 02:25:45,119
Speaker 6: call it that you got. Sean Payton's fifty nine years old,

3003
02:25:45,160 --> 02:25:46,720
Speaker 6: look what he got. Well, we think Jim Harbaugh is

3004
02:25:46,760 --> 02:25:49,000
Speaker 6: more talented than Jean Payton, So let's see what the

3005
02:25:49,120 --> 02:25:51,959
Speaker 6: future holds. I know, Harball, you know, I could have

3006
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:53,480
Speaker 6: his pick at the litter, would like that's you know,

3007
02:25:53,720 --> 02:25:55,920
Speaker 6: La Chargers job. I don't know, I'm not you know,

3008
02:25:55,959 --> 02:25:57,440
Speaker 6: they wouldy got a coach, So I don't want to

3009
02:25:57,720 --> 02:26:00,880
Speaker 6: bury him. But this this is gonna get in twenty

3010
02:26:00,920 --> 02:26:03,880
Speaker 6: twenty four from the Michigan side and from the Harball side.

3011
02:26:03,959 --> 02:26:06,320
Speaker 6: So what Harball, what Michigan did last week was launching

3012
02:26:06,360 --> 02:26:09,640
Speaker 6: preemptive so they can try to act like they're being

3013
02:26:09,640 --> 02:26:13,280
Speaker 6: prudent and perhaps the penalty will be lesser in twenty

3014
02:26:13,280 --> 02:26:14,360
Speaker 6: twenty four than it would have been.

3015
02:26:14,959 --> 02:26:18,360
Speaker 2: He is Bernie Fratto of the Bernie Fratto Show. You

3016
02:26:18,400 --> 02:26:21,800

02:34:26,560 --> 02:34:31,199
Speaker 2: commercial break, so I like, but I did start thinking

3178

Speaker 2: about Week one in college football. Chris, give us a

3179
02:34:34,080 --> 02:34:36,760
Speaker 2: little music, put us in the mood. Let's talk some

3180
02:34:36,800 --> 02:34:40,279
Speaker 2: of these Thursday games, Jason. I know you're not a gambler,

3181
02:34:40,280 --> 02:34:42,119
Speaker 2: so if you don't want to talk lines, that's fine,

3182
02:34:42,640 --> 02:34:43,480
Speaker 2: but let's start.

3183
02:34:43,560 --> 02:34:46,480
Speaker 3: Let's let you know. I'll tell you what. We're corporate men.

3184
02:34:47,760 --> 02:34:49,040
Speaker 3: We respect the boss.

3185
02:34:49,080 --> 02:34:51,880
Speaker 2: So let's start with the Fox game on Thursday night,

3186
02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:57,480
Speaker 2: Nebraska at Minnesota. Minnesota a seven and a half point favorite,

3187
02:34:57,560 --> 02:35:02,000
Speaker 2: kind of shocking Matt rules debut. You at Nebraska. If

3188
02:35:02,040 --> 02:35:03,760
Speaker 2: you want to pick it, pick it. But if not,

3189
02:35:03,959 --> 02:35:06,560
Speaker 2: what do you expect at the very least from Nebraska

3190
02:35:07,000 --> 02:35:08,480
Speaker 2: in Matt Rule's debut.

3191
02:35:08,600 --> 02:35:11,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, I'm gonna have to

3192
02:35:11,720 --> 02:35:13,879
Speaker 1: actually watch them play a few games first. I know

3193
02:35:13,920 --> 02:35:16,120
Speaker 1: what Matt Rule can do as a college coach. I mean,

3194
02:35:16,120 --> 02:35:18,400
Speaker 1: I can forget about what happened in Carolina. I remember

3195
02:35:18,440 --> 02:35:20,640
Speaker 1: what he did at Baylor, and if you can bring

3196
02:35:20,760 --> 02:35:25,160
Speaker 1: that to Nebraska, that's gonna be money well spent for them.

3197
02:35:25,200 --> 02:35:27,080
Speaker 1: But I think it's a little bit too much too soon.

3198
02:35:27,240 --> 02:35:30,000
Speaker 1: At Minnesota, I feel pretty good for PJ.

3199
02:35:30,120 --> 02:35:30,440
Speaker 6: Fleck.

3200
02:35:30,720 --> 02:35:33,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Minnesota coming off a nine win season. That is

3201
02:35:34,040 --> 02:35:36,840
Speaker 2: one I definitely would not be betting. Maybe the under

3202
02:35:36,959 --> 02:35:41,160
Speaker 2: forty three and a half game you mentioned big one

3203
02:35:41,240 --> 02:35:45,840
Speaker 2: in Salt Lake City, Utah a seven point favorite over

3204
02:35:45,879 --> 02:35:48,360
Speaker 2: the Florida Gators. As Bernie metch in just a minute ago,

3205
02:35:49,120 --> 02:35:51,680
Speaker 2: that game came down to the wire in the swamp.

3206
02:35:52,160 --> 02:35:53,959
Speaker 2: You could argue that was the game that got Anthony

3207
02:35:54,040 --> 02:35:56,600
Speaker 2: Richardson drafted number three overall because it was all basically

3208
02:35:56,640 --> 02:36:00,680
Speaker 2: downhill from there. When Utah played Florida. Last year, Utah

3209
02:36:00,840 --> 02:36:03,680
Speaker 2: a touchdown favorite in Salt Lake City.

3210
02:36:04,000 --> 02:36:05,199
Speaker 3: What do you expected that one?

3211
02:36:05,360 --> 02:36:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they're gonna want revenge because of

3212
02:36:07,840 --> 02:36:11,280
Speaker 1: how that went. I think that's a that is one

3213
02:36:11,320 --> 02:36:15,800
Speaker 1: of the low key, hardest places to go play. Sure,

3214
02:36:15,840 --> 02:36:20,520
Speaker 1: they are loud, it is a great environment. I still

3215
02:36:20,760 --> 02:36:23,760
Speaker 1: am a little skeptical about Florida, especially on the offensive

3216
02:36:23,760 --> 02:36:25,720
Speaker 1: side of the football, and that's a tough ass to

3217
02:36:25,760 --> 02:36:27,400
Speaker 1: go east to west. I like the Utes.

3218
02:36:27,920 --> 02:36:31,400
Speaker 3: I do too. By the way. Also, on Thursday night,

3219
02:36:32,200 --> 02:36:33,320
Speaker 3: NC State at Yukon.

3220
02:36:33,520 --> 02:36:35,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to n C State. Didn't get my

3221
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:39,640
Speaker 1: degree there elsewhere.

3222
02:36:39,800 --> 02:36:44,200
Speaker 3: Yukon guy, Yeah.

3223
02:36:42,640 --> 02:36:44,240
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about my guys.

3224
02:36:44,360 --> 02:36:47,800
Speaker 2: I'll just say that, Well, Yukon's a fifteen point home underdog.

3225
02:36:47,879 --> 02:36:50,240
Speaker 2: I will take Yukon to cover. I'll tell you it

3226
02:36:50,280 --> 02:36:52,440
Speaker 2: should be a good crowd at Renstra Field. They're expecting

3227
02:36:52,440 --> 02:36:54,280
Speaker 2: thirty plus eight. It's gonna be the biggest crowd they've

3228
02:36:54,280 --> 02:36:56,000
Speaker 2: had in a long time. They haven't had much to

3229
02:36:56,080 --> 02:36:58,480
Speaker 2: root for Yukon coming off a Bowl trip a year ago.

3230
02:36:58,640 --> 02:37:00,920
Speaker 1: You disappointed the Big twelve went up in smoke.

3231
02:37:03,600 --> 02:37:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's just it's so obviously like, like,

3232
02:37:08,160 --> 02:37:11,439
Speaker 2: I obviously love Big East basketball, but it's about survival,

3233
02:37:11,840 --> 02:37:14,879
Speaker 2: it's about money, And I was a little bit disappointed

3234
02:37:14,879 --> 02:37:17,760
Speaker 2: because I I I know this for certain. Like Brett

3235
02:37:17,800 --> 02:37:21,400
Speaker 2: Yormark wanted Yukon, he wanted a Northeast market. We talked

3236
02:37:21,400 --> 02:37:26,120
Speaker 2: about in the past about wanting to diversify, if you will,

3237
02:37:26,160 --> 02:37:28,880
Speaker 2: become more of a basketball centric league, not to not

3238
02:37:28,920 --> 02:37:33,000
Speaker 2: focus on football, but to to to really prioritize basketball

3239
02:37:33,000 --> 02:37:35,240
Speaker 2: in a way as well. But when those Big Pac

3240
02:37:35,280 --> 02:37:37,640
Speaker 2: twelve schools kind of came about, I don't know that

3241
02:37:37,680 --> 02:37:40,120
Speaker 2: there was much that they could say no to when

3242
02:37:40,400 --> 02:37:43,480
Speaker 2: when you know, basically basically, I'll try to be quick.

3243
02:37:43,840 --> 02:37:46,760
Speaker 2: Once Arizona went, they weren't going without Arizona State. And

3244
02:37:46,800 --> 02:37:49,320
Speaker 2: once Arizona State left, Utah saw the writing on the

3245
02:37:49,320 --> 02:37:51,080
Speaker 2: wall right and they were like, we gotta go. So

3246
02:37:52,080 --> 02:37:54,080
Speaker 2: a little bit disappointing, but it is what it is.

3247
02:37:54,600 --> 02:37:56,720
Speaker 2: Yukon opens against NC State. Let's rip through some of

3248
02:37:56,800 --> 02:38:01,280
Speaker 2: these really quick TCU A three touchdown face against Colorado

3249
02:38:01,360 --> 02:38:03,920
Speaker 2: in week one. I'll be quick on this one. I

3250
02:38:03,920 --> 02:38:06,680
Speaker 2: don't think Colorado's winning. I don't think they're losing by

3251
02:38:06,680 --> 02:38:11,199
Speaker 2: three touchdowns. Shador Sanders. Dion Sun is a very good quarterback.

3252
02:38:11,200 --> 02:38:12,840
Speaker 2: I think Colorado's able to put up points. I think

3253
02:38:12,879 --> 02:38:13,560
Speaker 2: TCU wins.

3254
02:38:13,800 --> 02:38:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. I exactly what you just

3255
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:17,720
Speaker 1: said is how I think it'll go. I don't think

3256
02:38:17,720 --> 02:38:20,120
Speaker 1: it's a three touchdown game. I do think TCU will

3257
02:38:20,120 --> 02:38:20,680
Speaker 1: win the game.

3258
02:38:20,959 --> 02:38:24,560
Speaker 2: Interesting one we mentioned earlier, Boise State at Washington. We

3259
02:38:24,600 --> 02:38:26,880
Speaker 2: don't have to do like the crazy breakdown, but I'll

3260
02:38:26,879 --> 02:38:30,080
Speaker 2: tell you there's a lot of preseason Washington buzz. Michael

3261
02:38:30,080 --> 02:38:31,960
Speaker 2: Pennock's coming off a big season last year. They won

3262
02:38:32,000 --> 02:38:34,280
Speaker 2: eleven games a year ago. Jason excited to watch that

3263
02:38:34,320 --> 02:38:35,320
Speaker 2: one as well on Saturday.

3264
02:38:35,600 --> 02:38:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what Boise is now. I mean,

3265
02:38:37,520 --> 02:38:39,920
Speaker 1: you look at that and that's fifteen years ago. We're

3266
02:38:39,959 --> 02:38:42,760
Speaker 1: talking a lot about that game right now. But yeah, Pennix,

3267
02:38:43,280 --> 02:38:45,080
Speaker 1: Pennix one of the most exciting players to watch in

3268
02:38:45,120 --> 02:38:46,959
Speaker 1: college football. I don't think that changes.

3269
02:38:47,160 --> 02:38:49,359
Speaker 3: Let's shoot to the last one late Sunday.

3270
02:38:49,440 --> 02:38:51,720
Speaker 2: I think, based on our college football playoff picks, I

3271
02:38:51,800 --> 02:38:54,240
Speaker 2: kind of know where you're leaning. But LSU is a

3272
02:38:54,280 --> 02:38:56,800
Speaker 2: two and a half point favorite against Florida State Top

3273
02:38:56,840 --> 02:38:58,440
Speaker 2: ten matchup in Orlando.

3274
02:38:59,160 --> 02:39:01,439
Speaker 3: I think I know where you're going, but go ahead, Jason.

3275
02:39:01,959 --> 02:39:04,480
Speaker 1: Great ballgame could see it go either way. I have

3276
02:39:04,640 --> 02:39:07,640
Speaker 1: LSU in my final four, so I've got LSU winning

3277
02:39:07,720 --> 02:39:08,160
Speaker 1: this game.

3278
02:39:08,600 --> 02:39:10,520
Speaker 2: I have Florida State in my final four, so I

3279
02:39:10,560 --> 02:39:12,680
Speaker 2: will take Florida State to win outright. We will preview

3280
02:39:12,720 --> 02:39:15,560
Speaker 2: that game next Saturday when we're back on there, but

3281
02:39:15,640 --> 02:39:16,320
Speaker 2: we gotta go for now.

3282
02:39:16,360 --> 02:39:17,160
Speaker 3: I want to thank the crew.
