  Speaker 3: Why not just go ahead and do away with it,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the whole deal?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: We got a text here.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: It says, all these unnamed texture guys staying in college
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a decade is watering down the sport. College football is
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: dog poo-poo. The players stink, and the NFL will soon
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: make college football an NFL feeder league.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Aha!
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: You know, there was a, and I'm trying to find it,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Let me find it from Peter Burns.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Do you like Peter Burns? Okay.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: So Peter Burns, let me find this. And I'm glad
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: this person brought this up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Where is it?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I'm going to look through here until I find it
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: because it is here. I know that I shared this
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: because I wanted to make sure to talk about this.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Let me go back over here and see if maybe
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: it's over here. but Peter Burns was talking about this
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: very thing. And I thought he, uh, had a great
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: response to this. Did I not share this? I thought,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: let's see.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: No, here it is. I believe I'm going to find it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: As, uh, he's talking about this very thing about how
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the NFL is basically going to, uh, take over college football.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Let me find, I've got to find this and it
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: may have to just do it, uh, during the break
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: because I thought I had it saved, but it doesn't
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: look like.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Here we go. Right here.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Finally found it. All right, this is for Peter Burns.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: He said, long post alert. The NFL has been salivating
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: at all college football chaos. At all the chaos, the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: NFL's loving this. With the Big Ten, the SEC, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the college football playoff TV rights, this is Peter Burns,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: SEC Network, ESPN. And the TV writes, ending around 2030
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: or 32.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: What prevents the NFL from doing the following?
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Creating the NFL SL.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: The NFL Super Leagues. Now, Paul's right there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Because I have been of the belief for a long
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: time that the NFL is only going to put up
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: with this for so long.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Put up with what? Everything that's going on in college football.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Well, why?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Why do they care? Because.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: If their product, which is college athletes, the feeder system
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: to the National Football League is college sports.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: It is the NFL. You know, it's not like.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: The NBA, where, yes, they get guys from college basketball,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: but they also get guys from the EuroLeague. They'll get
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: guys from China. They get them all over the world.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Major League Baseball. They get guys all over the world.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: The NFL is still hockey. Canada, the States, the NFL
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: is the one place where everybody outside of an Australian
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: kicker or just kind of a one-off player here or there,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: everybody comes from college football. That is the lifeblood to
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the NFL. And if the college game gets watered down
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to a point to where these guys are physically fit
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: but not mentally ready, to where all of their focus
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: has been put on money and fame and social media,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: and the NFL product starts getting watered down, the NFL
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: will step in. They'll say, we're not doing this. You're
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: not watering our multi-billion dollar cash cow into mediocrity.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: You're just not doing it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Peter Burns says, what if the NFL is gearing up
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: for after the TV rights when it comes open 2030
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to 32 to create something like an NFL Super League.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: It would look like this, 64-team Super League, four 16-team conferences.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: You'd have the SEC, the Big Ten, the ACC, and the, quote, Pac-16,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: where you re-regionalize college sports. The SEC's in the South,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten's in the North, the ACC's up the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: East Coast, and the Pac-16's out West. Create a 64-team
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Tier 2 league with the remaining teams.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Group 6.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: So right now, you've done two things if the NFL
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: would do this. You would create the Super League, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: then you would have everybody else, which it needs to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: be broken up. I don't know of anybody that doesn't
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: think this, you know, with common sense, think this is
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the way to go. You sign with out of high
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: school or junior college, you sign with the NFL Super League,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the NFL SL, you follow the NFL PA Super League guidelines.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: And it would look something like this. Three-year deals when
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you come into the league with a one-time transfer allowed.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Five-year eligibility max, which matches what the NCAA has put
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: in starting this year. Each team has a hard cap
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: of $ 60 million. and a hard floor of $ 25 million.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Byrd writes to team resigning players, harsh tampering rules, NFL
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: agent certification. They use the NFL leverage to maximize each
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: conference's TV value. They buy out existing TV conference contracts
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to align timeline to 2030 to 2031. They protect their, quote,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: farm system, which is college sports, provide college football with
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the enforceable rules under the NFL protection. Part of the
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: deal says each school must earmark X amount to protect
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: non-revenue in women's sports. Uniform scheduling, 12 games with more crossovers,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: eight conference games, three non-conference games, one against each other
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: NFL Super League conference, one tier difference. One tier two
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: non-conference game. Conferences get financial security. NFL rules protect while
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: saving non-revenue sports and protecting traditions. NFL protects its feeder
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: league and develops entirely new income stream with more inventory.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Fans get structure. Players get paid. If conferences or schools
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: all receive more dollars... while getting rules enforced and protecting
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: non-revenue sports, why wouldn't they be open to the idea?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I think this is the way. The NFL takes it over.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I know you don't want to talk today, but I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: going to ask you, what do you think about this?
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, it all sounds real good. It all sounds
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: real good, but NFL, try to take over college football.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: You're not fixing this. Okay, you're the NFL. You're a
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: pretty disgusting organization. Your NFLPA. Oh, wait, is that the
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: same NFLPA who had the head of their organization last
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: year fired because he was spending league money on strip clubs?
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: OK, you're you're you are very much in a moral
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: authority position to come over and come in and take
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: over and be the adult.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: OK, I trust all that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: You don't care about the types of people that are
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: coming into the league now. You're drafting trash like It
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: goes back to trash like Tyreek Hill, trash like Rasheed Rice.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I don't trust anything.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: The NFL coming in and trying to be the grown
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: up in all this in this entire scenario, try to
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: be the leaders, try to change everything for the better.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: And then we go back to the way you the
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: way you put it at the beginning.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: You said, well, if it.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Gets to where the NFL sees the college product is
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: being watered down these players and that part is right
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: the mentally tough these players are coming in already obsessed
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: with just the money and fame I don't think there's
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: any way to get around that anymore because if we
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: were to have someone in charge and and say there's
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: a cap, I don't think these schools are... Someone will
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: always find a way to get around that cap. It
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: will always go back under the table. Maybe that's a
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: very pessimistic way of thinking, but I just think that
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: where we are today, there will just be more under
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: the table.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: No, there will definitely be people to try it. I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: think you would have to have a system in place
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to where The penalty is severe, right? The penalty is severe.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: But you have to have structure to where lawsuits and
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: lawyers don't come involved. Judges don't get involved. Somebody's got
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: to do something with this. It's not going to be Congress.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: The conferences don't look like they're going to come together
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: and do anything. So if it's not the NFL, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I get your point, but who fixes it? Or does
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: the sport just die?
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: I don't know that it dies. It just, it's, I
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: don't know.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: I don't want to say it's an unwinnable situation here
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: because the NFL, if the NFL were to take it over,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: you would think that if an organization like the NFL
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: were to take it over, that would be your best bet.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: But for all the reasons I just said, and that's
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: just my thinking, I don't know.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: I don't know that this is fixable.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: It's a long road to fix it. Let me say that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: That house to be rebuilt, to remodel that house, it's
• 11:55

  Speaker 8: St.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Louis Vic on the Cubba Maloney's text line. Jake, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: initially attempted to compare this eligibility fiasco to the movie
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Necessary Roughness.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: However, true.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Those old dudes had eligibility remaining but weren't attempting to
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: game the system, nor were they current potential pros.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: It was a movie. Shaking my head. Yeah, a little
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: bit different, but I get it. I get it. Did
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: you like that movie?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I thought it was great. I thought it was great.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Let's see. Unnamed texture.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: The NFL guy was fired for the same thing Walker
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Jones got fired for. I don't think Walker Jones got fired,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: did he? I think he's still a part of the.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Grove Collective. I'm not sure what that text means. Cowboy Ready. Beav,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: how do you feel about the 49ers owner?
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: What a dummy. What a dummy.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Dude, you are the owner, CEO of an NFL football team.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: You talk about someone being in the limelight.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: You're an NFL owner. You can't do that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, and especially... It's so ridiculous. Not only did
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: you involve yourself in this prostitution charge, you arranged, allegedly, right?
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: We're supposed to say that every time. Allegedly, you arranged this,
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: your part in a prostitution deal. But in a trailer park,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: like it was in a really.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was an Ohio trailer park. Like I hear that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: And my first thought is you're going to the trailer
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: park behind Sonic in Pearl Southern Gardens, a Pearl Classic,
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: a Rankin County Classic.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Southern Gardens.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: That's not a that's not where the owner of an
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: NFL team goes.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: You're a dummy. But, you know, men are monsters who
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: crave young flesh. That's what it all.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Boils down to. Reminds me of that. Well, you never
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: watched Troy, did you?
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: No.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Brad Pitt, when he was playing Achilles, he was sitting
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: in the tent with his cousin, Patrick Liss. He said,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: we men are wretched things. So I think that's what
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: you're saying. You know, what's the old saying? You can
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: take the girl out of the bar, but you can't
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: take the bar to the girl. Sounds like what this
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: NFL owner, he has some trashiness about him. The real
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: unnamed texter. can the NFL bypass college and just create
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: a minor league like baseball, very expensive and last resort,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: especially if the college system implodes. I mean, I guess
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: technically they could, but then you get into that, man,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: that's a lot for the NFL to take on, not
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: saying they couldn't do it. I mean, right now the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: colleges are the ones who recruit. They're the ones who analyze,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean, they get all these players.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Anything's possible, I guess, up to now. Let's go to
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Louisville George. George, happy Tuesday. How are you, sir?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. First of all, I will call you tomorrow.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Secondly, man, Beaver's on it. He is all freaking over it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And Beaver, it wasn't pessimistic. Okay? It was realistic. That's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: what it was. Instead of me regurgitating any of the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: stuff he said, which I agree with all of it,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: except it wasn't pessimistic, it is what it is. Do
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: y'all remember the movie, what was the chick's name from Cheers?
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, gosh.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Little Skinny Thing, cute.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: Kirstie Alley?
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: The Money Pit.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: The Money Pit.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, I remember.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Her name was.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I remember Tom Hanks was in that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: The Money Pit.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, Tom Hanks was in that movie, and I
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: cannot remember.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Shelly Long.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Was it Shelly Long?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Well, see, that is Shelly Long. There you go.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: That is where we're at in this situation. It's a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Money Pit. Oh, yeah. I mean, it is what it is. And, Jake,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to you, I ask, NFL, blah, blah, blah, takes over, blah, blah, blah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Who is the authority over this?
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I would have to think, Roger.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: What I mean by the authority, I'm sorry.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I want to segue into the $ 400 stupid, ridiculous, freaking
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: whatever the guy did that you mentioned at the top
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of the hour, which in this day, the way things
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: are is stupid. So somebody gave him $ 400, give him $ 1, 000,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: just shut up and let it go. Who's monitoring all
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that and making penalties and whatever?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I would have to guess Roger Goodell would have to
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: appoint some sort of a college commissioner. I mean, that's
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the first thing you have to do. There's nobody in charge, right?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, Sankey's in charge of the SEC. Petitti's in
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: charge of the Big Ten. You've got a president of
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: the NCAA, but he's just a face man.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: So I think you'd have to appoint somebody.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Here's where I'm at. You better hope that Doc Holliday
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't show up because– It's the wild, wild west, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: he's sitting there. He's sitting there. He's sitting there until
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he pulls that pistol out, and then it's all over.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: The 49ers.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: The only thing I have to say about that is
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I do not get these idiots. We can do so
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: many examples, but I'm going to go back to.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: U.K.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: As in not England. England. Lexington, Kentucky's basketball coach who
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: was single and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What's he do?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: He leaves the bar at three in the morning and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: he drives. You're making $ 6 million a year. Now, let's
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: go straight now to the 49ers. You're a billionaire.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it? Jake Orbeaver, is it a thing
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: where you want to be normal? Well, is that normal?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: It could be.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: What prompts you, Jake Wimberly, who.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: went off and became the number one, forget Barstool and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: everybody else, it's Jake Wimberly, and he's got his thing.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Why is he going to leave Legends, who's expanded at
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that point in time, in Los Angeles and drive home
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: after a few or whatever when he's got a billion dollars?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know. We've seen several instances of this.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. I mean, I really don't.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very perplexing for sure.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: You know, give Joe Walsh a lot of credit, okay?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I got a driver, a ride in the back. Now,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: last thing, and I'll take your comments off the air,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I will be in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday evening. Louisville,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss, your takes. And, guys, I'm enjoying every second. Jake,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I'll holler at you tomorrow, dude.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Talk to you then. Thank you, George. Appreciate the kind words.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Louisville first, Louisville and Ole Miss, and of course
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: we'll get more into this next week as we start
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: really getting into the games with guests and our own
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: crazy opinions. Ole Miss is a touchdown favorite. I think
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Louisville's got a puncher's chance. They've got a pretty darn
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: good roster. They've got a good quarterback. They've got a
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: really good football coach. You can make the case that Louisville,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: and you can make this case against a lot of
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: teams Ole Miss play early, has more coaching continuity than
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss does just because the staff has been there. Yes,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Pete Golding has been there, but now he's the head guy.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: You know, you kind of bring it down to like
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: high school football. Eugene Clinton's the head football coach at Brandon.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: He's been there forever, but now has the operate. We'll
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: find out Friday starting against Tupelo. That whole deal. I
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: like Louisville's chances. I think Ole Miss wins the game,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: but I think it's a four-quarter ball game. But why
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: do people do it? Like Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods had
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: it all. But he chose to get behind the wheel
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: multiple times. I mean, Robert Kraft, you know, he goes
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: to a massage parlor.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Just, I don't know.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I feel like we need a shrink, right, to answer
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: these questions. We're brought to you by Clinton Body Shop, 601-924-2159,

• 24:02
  Speaker 3: We appreciate George calling in. You can call us 601-897-1059.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: That is the Mississippi Sports Medicine caller line. Magic Mike,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: let me preface my comments by saying I am a
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: state homer, but as if Coach Meese's departure from Ole
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Miss and comments regarding the difficulties of recruiting players to
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Mississippi didn't seal the deal, the latest news makes him
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: the villain of college football, and he loves it, us
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: against the world. He is strategically brilliant. Do you think,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: as he called him, Coach Meese, Lane Kiffin, a.k.a. Is
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: doing this on purpose? Is he strategically trying to create this?
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: He's he's the Joker. I don't know who Batman is.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Kurt Cignetti in this Batman of college football. Is he
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: trying to be the Joker of college football?
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't I don't know that he is
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: has just mastermind at masterminded some grand plan to be that.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: But he never stops talking and it invites all of
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: this that he's talking about. So I will say his personality,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: everything we hear about him and everything the way he seems,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: I believe he certainly, certainly, certainly welcomes it. He is
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: the type of person who really, I think, I feel
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: like he loves all this talk about him.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Coach me as who is this?
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Magic Mike.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: Magic Mike said.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I think we can officially say his whole stick in
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Oxford where he did the Theo Vaughn interview and he
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: was the changed man.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: None of that was real, was it?
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe he wanted it to be real, but maybe he
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: just can't.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: It's like an addict. He can't stay away from it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: All right, let's see here. Miko.
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: Beaver.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: It's some certified cur dogs that came out of their, uh,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Out of that trailer park.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: No doubt about that.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that trailer park you speak of, I think it's
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: still there, isn't it?
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: I'm sure it is. Southern Gardens doesn't ever die.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: If you walk in, you may limp out. You don't
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: want to just wander through Southern Gardens, do you?
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: No. It's not a place just to take a stroll.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Can't be no geek off the street.
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: No.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Monkeys riding dogs. Jake, is there any way we can
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: have Beaver for an hour after your show talking sports-
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: He is very knowledgeable. I don't want to put him
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: on the spot, but I think that he would do
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: an outstanding job, better than Paul Feinbaum, even though I'm
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: an Alabama fan, talk to management, bump his pay. He
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: has a brain like an elephant. I would love to
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: hear him take the mic. So do you want to
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: take the six to seven and maybe Uncle Bill come
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: in and work your show?
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: He's riding dogs. You have a lot of faith in me, sir.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I appreciate those words. I appreciate the faith in me,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: but whilst I'm not a big Paul Feinbaum fan, to
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: think that I could do better than Paul Feinbaum, I
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: And I don't know that you want to be here
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: late at night. You have jewelry to sell.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, I do, don't I?
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you have jewelry to sell. That's a thing.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: CWR, not sure about Joker, but he has got ass
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: clown down talking about Lane Kiffin, Texas, six or one, eight, eight, five, three, seven, seven,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: six draft Kings by the numbers. This is pretty interesting. Um,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: and it kind of tells you the window because, you know,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: every NFL team, this is on the, on the NFL
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: shifting gears real quick. Every team has a window, right?
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Because of salary caps and age of player and contracts
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: that come back open and renegotiation of contracts. Every team
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: has a window. That's what made the Patriots run, to me,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: on a ton of levels. But the most magnificent thing
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: was they were able to manage their roster, churn their
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: roster over the years with Belichick and Brady, and continue
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: to stay on top of the NFL. Number of players
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: in the top 100 players are the top 100 contract rankings.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: The Lions rank number one in the NFL. They have
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: seven players in the top 100 contracts right now.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Seven.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: So, like, if they're going to get it done, they
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: need to get it done. Can they get it done?
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: The Lions, man.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: No.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Given the history. And that's the thing.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: I've gotten to where I absolutely love so much about
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: that organization. I love Dan Campbell. I love Jameer Gibbs.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I've loved him from the beginning. Amon Ross St.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: Brown.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: That's just a fun name to say.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Jared Goff has completely, you know, when Jared Goff first
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: came in, When he was with the Rams, Fisher really
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: bungled that situation. And I didn't think much of him
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: at all. And now I've really come to enjoy him.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: So I really, really pull.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: For the Lions these days.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: But the organizational history, and I hate to keep going
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: back to this because the rule doesn't have to be
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: the same all the time. Things can change. But certain organizations,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: like I tell you all the time, the Browns and
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Jets are the first that come to mind. Certain organizations
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: just feel like they'll never get it done. And the
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Lions are still one of those organizations, no matter how
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: much they've improved in the past five years. They still
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: feel like they're almost still lumped in with the Browns
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: and Jets.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that. I would agree.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Cowboys and Eagles have six top 100 contract players. Colts, Broncos,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Ravens have five. Then you get down into everybody else.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: The 49ers, the Seahawks, the Vikings, the Texans, the Bengals
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: have four. The Dolphins and the Redbirds have none. The
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Jets and the Saints have one apiece. Several with two,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: some of the names you would think. Browns, Raiders, Giants.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: But then the Patriots, Bears, Bills, and Falcons are on
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: that list. So I thought this was pretty interesting. Also,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: staying with the theme in the NFL, front office sports
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: reports the NFL's crackdown on taunting will continue. Officials will
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: keep a close eye on players violating the league's rules,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: prohibiting taunting opponents, illegal celebrations, and fighting.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: A source familiar with the.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Views of the NFL and competition committee told front office sports.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: So I'm glad to see them.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: You know, you let some things go, but There's some
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: things you need to keep a, uh, keep a lid on.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Resdog. Resdog.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Complete silence on the mic is better than fine ball.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: So he would just want it to be.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Just dead air.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Dead air. Nothing.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: Nothing.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Hey, is it true if we just didn't say anything
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: that that would mess the signal up? Like we just,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: something would happen to the system. Like we just sent here.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: The system?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Hey, it would just sound crazy.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: We'd sound like we don't know what we're doing as
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: a radio station. When it's just sitting there.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Hey, did you see Odell Beckham Jr. is expected
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: to make the 53-man of the Giants? My God.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: OBJ is expected to make the 53-man as we're getting
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: ready for the final cuts in the NFL. Also, again,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Tennessee legend, Southern icon, Dolly Parton passes away today as
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: a man she was iconic.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Absolutely iconic. Also, speaking of LSU.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: bringing in pro players, former Boston Celtics guard, RJ Louise
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: has been granted a preliminary injunction, becoming eligible to play
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: at LSU. LSU is just like, we don't care if
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: you've played pro ball, retired ball, prison ball across the pond,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: but we'll take you go tigers. We'll, we'll teach you
• 32:20

  Speaker 7: I told Ben here in Ohio, it's been a long
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: week already and it's only Tuesday. So, you know, between
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: the Browns and Jed York, I mean, anything, I prefer
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: not to talk about those things, but you know, if
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: we can get into college football, probably make us feel
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: better here in Ohio.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure. We'll, we'll jump right into some college football.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin looks to be the centerpiece again on a,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: you know, very divisive topic. The NFL players coming back
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: to college. The Big Ten has already come out. Tony
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Petitti says, hey, and I'm paraphrasing, we're not going to
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: let this happen in our league. There's going to be
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: some penalties and a penalty structure. If that happens, the
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: SEC is meeting today and tomorrow. A lot of people
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: feel like they'll follow suit. The Big 12 has made
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: comments that they'll follow suit. The ACC says they likely will. Bill,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: this has got to be the way, right?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, but.
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: when you try to look at it from the player's
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: perspective and not to bring the Browns back into the
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: conversation with Dick one, right. You know, I think this
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: could have been avoided had I get it because five
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: for five was enacted on June 23rd. I think what
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: the NFL and the college football should have done is
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: given players like a 10, 14 day window and say, Hey,
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: you know, you, you can go back, but you have
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: to do it in the next two weeks because once
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: you step foot in camp and And we got you
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: on there. They could have made an exemption for those
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: that were at rookie mini camps. It would have been messy, but,
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: but Jake, I really believe it would have been less messy.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: And now we're in this situation. I do think the sec,
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: a big 12 ACC will follow suit. I also think
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: there'll probably be some lawsuits for, for some of those players. But, yeah,
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: it's just another one of those hiccups. And I hope
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: it's a one-year hiccup because I do think long-term the
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: five-for-five idea is going to work out.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the way you said that because we
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: actually– you said, I hope it's a one-year issue, one-year deal,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: because I made the comment yesterday. I said, hey, does
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: this go into next year? I mean, I know we're
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: supposed to get into the five-for-five, but does this kind
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: of propel itself into next season potentially?
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: Well, and that's just it. I hope not. And now,
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: you know, you and I have done this show, done
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: the show for a couple of years now. And I
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: know we've kind of openly talked about, okay, when, when
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: do you think a player that, you know, might be
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: a late round pick just kind of thinks, Hey, you know,
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: I might, I might make more money on campus this year,
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: and then goes and does that.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: This is a.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Version of that. This is also a version of Charles
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: Bediako in college basketball last year. I know we talked
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: about that. But I think the NFL, had they done
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: it in such a way that was kind of like
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: the NBA draft, where a prospect can test the waters
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: a little bit, and then... you know, go back to
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: school before they're actually on the team or before they
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: sign a contract with the NFL team. Because I do
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: think there needs to be a clear distinction between what
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: is pro and what is college. And I'm going to
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: be honest, Jake, well, no reason to be honest about it.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: Just the way it is that those lines are blurred.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: No, they're absolutely blurred. We're visiting with Bill Bender.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: You can get him on exit Bill Bender 92 and
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: check him out on the sporting news. Your thoughts on
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin. It doesn't look like at least today, that
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: he's backing down on this. He was on Pat McAfee
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: talking about this and of course had some candid comments of, Hey,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: you know, what, what rules are we trying to follow?
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, he he's, you can tell he's following for this.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously he wants to win now and feels like, Hey,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: if he can leverage this, he's going to leverage it.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: And he's going to try to get good players and,
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: you know, Lane's going to become the face and there's,
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: let's be honest again, that it doesn't take much for,
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: certain college football fans to not like Lane Kiffin or
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: be against Lane Kiffin, but it sounds like he's going
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: to dig in here. I think he'll lose to Sankey.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: I think he'll lose to the SEC and common sense
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: in a lot of ways, because again, here's the other
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: part of this. The season starts in four days. It
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: has already started, but we have games in like 96
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: hours or less than 96 hours at this point. So again,
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: You know, again, the timeline, what about the school piece
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: of this? So you're just going to, I don't, you
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: know what, I'm guilty of this. I know some colleges
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: have started in Ohio, obviously. I'm not sure around the country,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: but I'm pretty sure a lot of colleges have started.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here in Mississippi, I believe State and Ole Miss
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: are both back in session. All your junior colleges are
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: in session. We've got a few minutes left here with
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Bill Bender. Bill, we do have football, North Carolina and TCU,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: the highlight of the weekend.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Of course, there are some other games.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: TCU is an eight-point favorite, not to get your betting advice,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: unless you want to give it, but this just feels
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: like a situation where TCU wears North Carolina out.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: Am I wrong?
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: Well, I got my picks coming out tomorrow, but I'll
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: tease that one for you. Maybe I just can't learn.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: I'm like that kid that you tell them, my mom
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: used to tell me not to do something, and I'd
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: keep doing it. I'm going to pick North Carolina to
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: at least cover. I think they're going to hang around
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: in this game. One of the reasons why is and
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: getting that Dublin game overseas, the five of the last
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: six have been close. It's been ugly. I'm just, maybe
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: there's a little bit of faith that Belichick figured out
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: a little bit, but he, no doubt, no matter what happens,
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: that's going to be what we're talking about. Sunday morning
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: is did North Carolina look horrible again? Did they get beat? Uh,
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: you know, last year was like 48, 14. It was
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: a disaster, but, uh, we'll have a story about Belichick
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: coming out later in the week. And, you know, at
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: the end of the day, it's a, a week zero
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: game to overact, overreact to.
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I've got several or several others, uh, on Saturday bookend, uh,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: with a late game Memphis at UNLV.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: I'm intrigued by that one.
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: I think you should be. It's a really good G
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: six game, two teams that could be in the playoff
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: mix for those. You know what? Uh, the first couple
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: of weeks are good for Jake in a lot of
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: ways is, uh, Hey, I forgot about that guy. And
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: in this case, it's going to be Jackson Arnold, the
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: two-time transfer from Oklahoma and Auburn. See, it took me
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: a second. And now he's going to be the UNLV
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: quarterback and he's backed up by Alex Orji, the guy
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: that played at Michigan. So Dan Mullen's got some talent
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: there and I think they're going to work with it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: Should be a fun game and you got to stay
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: up late to watch it. That means like technically we're here.
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: If you're staying up past midnight or one o'clock on
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: a Saturday night, watch college football. That means he's here.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: There is no doubt. Make sure to follow him on
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: X at BillBender92. Get him at the Sporting News. Bill,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: appreciate your time on a short schedule.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: We'll talk next week. It'll be week one. I can't wait.
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: Hey, Jake, I appreciate you. Thanks for working with me.
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: I'll talk to you next week.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Appreciate it. Thank you.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Bill Bender on your radio real quick. Smitty says, hey,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I'm an LSU fan, but I don't agree. With what
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: we've done lately, Lane is an ass, but he's our ass.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: He says, I'm just glad I placed a good future
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: bet at Ameristar on my team.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: And St.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Louis Vic says, forget Bobby Boucher, LSU, or Lush, as
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: they assume will be known as, might as well grab
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Paul Wrecking Crew. Hey, appreciate B, appreciate Bill Bender. Remember,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: ketchup is king, bacon's a delicacy, aloha means goodbye. Be
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: a man of increase. We're out of here a little
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: early today.
• 40:34
