• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn say.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Hester and Hester got it fine on a foe from
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: carrying each other to a natty to carrying each other on.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: The air, there's Brock Control.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Live from the Raising Caine Studio. It's off the Bench,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Welcome back O t b Our number three here on
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: this Tuesday morning.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Tuesday Shows brought to you by friends over at.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Community Still Community steel co dot com is the website
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: right there in Gonzales, Louisiana.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: I go check them out today, Taytay.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I know this is something you put in the doc
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and wanted to hit on, and it's a good one
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: to talk about because last year, according to ESPN dot com,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints had the thirty second best roster
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League. Matt, how many teams are
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League? That would be thirty two.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: They put them as the worst roster in football. This year,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: they're not last. Okay, now, it's a step, it's not
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a jump. They go from thirty two to twenty.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Six, Okay, respectable.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So it's not great. It's not saying that they're a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: playoff team by any means. I would argue they're probably
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: somewhere more realistically like twenty two to twenty three range.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Still obviously work to do. But last year it was
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: a roster that just didn't have any juice to it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: It was a lot of unknowns. It felt like it
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: had aging stars, it felt like it didn't have, you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: draft choices.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Ever living up to the hype a lot of different
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: things on this roster.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I will say I feel much better about this roster
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: coming into this year than I did a year ago.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You've got Tyler Shuck, who we all feel like is
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: about to take a big step forward.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: All right. He showed that last year.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: You have an h chan at running back that I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: thought was a top twelve running back in the National
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Football League. Last year, you have if healthy, big if
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Jordan Tyson, who you drafted eighth overall to pair with
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Chris Alave. You made one of the best free agent
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: signings on the offensive line, the best interior offensive line
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: signing maybe in the NFL.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: You get Cam Jordan back now you lose to Mario Davis,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: but you get Kaden Ellis, somebody that knows the franchise
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: incredibly well.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I think the roster without a doubt. I wouldn't even
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: say much better than a year ago. Now, again, I'm
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: not saying it's a top fifteen roster right now. You
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: can maybe make the argument maybe it's right there at
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: twenty somewhere in that range, but it is better. You
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: do expect to see strides. You are in a division
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: that is it's weak. Let's call it like it is.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Let's be fair to the conversation. Every team in the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: division last year had a losing record. If you look
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: at the NFC North, every team had a winning record.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: So I'm not going to pretend that the NFC South
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is up for the best division. So there's still even
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: if the roster's not top fifteen, there's still a reason
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: for Saints fans to be optimistic about what this year
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: can be considering the growth that they've made and also
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the teams that you're playing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's man, I remember having those conversations last year
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: about wow, they are thirty second ranked thirty second in
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: the league, but maybe they should I'd put them around
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: twenty nine probably. I remember having those conversations last year.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: So it is certainly better. And this offseason has been yea,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: we all feel like been a really good offseason for
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: you know, what they started with to what they've ended with,
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: so they've certainly made the improvements. I'm looking at the
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: list right now and kind of seeing the immediate teams
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: that are ranked above them, Carolina Panthers sitting at twenty four,
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: yet the New York Jets sitting at twenty five, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: then the Saints sitting at twenty six. So, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: can you make the argument that they have a better
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: roster than those two teams? Certainly, absolutely, one dred percent
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: you can. So they're you know, I think that that's
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: you know, probably properly ranked. Does that mean it's the
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: twenty six best team in the league. No, because I
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: think they're going to be one of the teams that
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: makes the playoffs this year. Now it has to do
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: with them being in a weak division, but I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: that I'm I will predict that the Saints do make
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: the playoffs. Now, a lot of that is going to
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: not a lot of that. I say that it's hard
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: to put a lot of anything on a on a rookie,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: But some of that success that I think they'll have
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: does include Jordan Tyson being help the and available for
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: at least a large portion of the season. It's starting
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: to kind of feel like it's certainly not going to
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: be seventeen games, but at least for a large portion
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: of him being certainly a factor. And they win where
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: they went four to five last five of the game,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: a season with Tyler Shuck playing, and that was with
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: a bad roster to start the season and with a
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: lot a lot of injuries, found a way under a rookie, yeah, exactly.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: And they found away with a rookie quarterback that is
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: not being talked about enough going into the season, frankly,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: And I don't understand why maybe the NFL talk really
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: hasn't like kicked up, because you know, we've had Baseball,
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: we had the we've got the World Cup going on,
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of there's a lot of things distracting
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: national media right now. Maybe it just hasn't kicked up enough.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: But the amount of times I've heard Tyler Shuck's name
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: mentioned on ESPN Big ESPN, I can count on one hand. Yeah. Probably.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: I think I saw I heard I think the morning
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: show on the National that that I listened to driving
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: into work. I think that Michelle Small's I think I
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: heard her talk about I think Tyler Shuck's going to
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: be a surprise person this year blah blah blah, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: any of the other guys, what that's your pick, blah
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: blah blah, Like I don't understand, but I think that
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: what he did last year and going into second year,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: you know, I keep saying it about the quarterbacks making
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: their biggest strides between their first and second year in
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: the NFL. I think he's going to be an X factor,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: and I think he's going to deliver you some wins
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: that might look ugly and might look that they're going
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: to beat better teams, better better rosters. You know, it
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: might not happen consistently, but they're going to do enough
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: to win that division this year and sink into the playoffs.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: The team in the division that has, according to again
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: ESPN dot Com, the best roster is Tampa Bay. They
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: come in at number eighteen on this list. So Tampa
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Bay comes in at eighteen, You've got Carolina who comes
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: in at twenty four. The Saints come in at twenty six,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and then the Atlanta Falcons are tied for twenty ninth
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: with the Arizona Cardinals.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Now also too weird that they put a tie at
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: twenty nine on this list like.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: That, you got to show the respect, mad, I mean,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they look if they're tied, they're tied.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: They got a two in front of it. Let's put
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: them at thirty.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: So it kind of tells you what what metric were.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: They using, Like well, number zo numbers they're tied.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Tells you what people think of the the NFC South there.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: If we're going to look at this list and it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: totality and not just look at the NFC South portion
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: of it, the Chicago Bears come in at number seventeen.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: That one is a pretty surprising number for a team
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: that won their division a year ago, and again a
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: division that had every team have a winning record, And
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: when you look at what the Bears have, I'm a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: little bit surprised at how far down the list they
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: are because like the other teams in this conversation for
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the most part, or non playoff teams. Now, the Steelers
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: do come in at number nineteen. They made the playoffs
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: a year ago, But you're surprised at Chicago all the
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: way down there at number seventeen.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that is a bit surprising. I'm trying, I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: looking at this roster and really trying to you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: of course, I'm not going to have fifty per names here,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: but I'm just trying to Kealeb williamspace quarterback. Yeah, kelb
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Wenys space quarterback. I got that check mark on that one.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: You know, you tell me, mister NFL guy.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I like DeAndre Swept.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I think him and Kalmannungai are a great one to
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: two punch at the running back position. I felt like
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: they had a good year a year ago that nobody
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: really talks about as far as what they did together.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I think Roma Dunda is going to have to play
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: at a high level for them to achieve where they
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: want to go. I'm gonna be honest and say that
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I think Luther Burdens the best receiver on that team.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: I really do.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: And I know Rome Adomday was the first round pick,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: and I think Rome's a good player.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: I think Luther Burden could be special.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: You've heard me talk about him ever since he was
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: a freshman at Missouri. I think he's going to be
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the best receiver on that team. They've got two tight
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: ends that they like and Colston Loveland Nicole Comet. They
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: understand their roles on the team. They lost their center,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: he retired a little bit unexpectedly early, right, not even thirty.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yet they go make a move they trade for Brad
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Burry to be their center from New England. So offensively,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I like a lot of who they are and what
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: they are. Defensively, I like some of the moves that
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: they've made. The thing they did not do that's going
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: to get them in trouble. They did not add a
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: pass rusher. They did not add an edge rusher. They
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: needed to through the draft and through free agency, they
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: didn't do it. The only thing they did in free
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: agency was they added defensive tackles. Some veteran guys there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: That's good. It's not what you needed. And there's still
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: some out there. And that's why I got a little
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: nervous whenever Cam was out there and the wilderness looking
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: for a team, because well, Dennis all def it's a
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: coordinator there in Chicago, knows him well, right, they know
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: each other well, and so he would have probably fit
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: in pretty easily into that Bears team. Glad he didn't,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: but they got to. I don't know what they think
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: they have, but I don't see it. I think their
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: biggest weakness is their defensive front. And this article agrees
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: with it. It kind of talks about the same things.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: But Pat and I talk about it all the time
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: on the NFL channel. Why did you not add an
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: edge rusher? You were a team that has a right
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: you made it, you made a run last year. You're
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: a team that has a roster that's closed already. Why
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: wouldn't you go add an edge rusher. They just didn't
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: because they got Dennis Allen the X factor. They don't
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: need good players, and you got that defensive coordinator calling
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the shots. M Okay, you can take that, take the
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: afternoon radio if you want. Nah, that's okay. And if
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: they don't win, those those players under the bus.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: He will do that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: But I was like, I was surprised Chicago was that
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: far down even with that, because like, the Cowboys are
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: four team. The Cowboys were a seven win team a
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: year ago. The Chiefs were a six win team. And
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: they come in a number twelve.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Who's got the best day has number ten on this list? Well, yeah, bro,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: who's got the best defensive roster? Cowboys are the Bears?
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Which one's better? Just from your opinion? Undefensively, he's got
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: the best roster on defense because I look at them
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: fairly similar. So the thing that pushes the Cowboys over
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: the edge would be they got two of the best
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: receivers on their team.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Javonte Williams was really good at running back.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I look at the Cowboys traded for Rashan Gary from
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Green Bay. That doesn't really do a whole lot for me.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: They traded for d Winners. I do like him. During
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the draft, Kobe Durant was added to this team. They
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: drafted Caleb Downs. I like all of you know, all
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of those moves. I don't I don't know. I mean,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Cowboys were really bad on defense last year. I like
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: the high end moves better. For the Bears, they signed
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Devin Bush from Cleveland. I thought he was a really
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: good player. Kobe Bryant comes over from Seattle. They spent
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: draft choices on the defense as well. Dylan Deneman, first
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: round pick out of Oregon. Liked him in the entire process.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Malik Muhammad out of Texas in the fourth round. I
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: still think. I think Chicago still has a better deal.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: So if we're comparing, like I, the only thing that
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: is moving Dallas up is their receivers. Yeah, because you
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: look at it. I think Chicago's got the quarterback advantage,
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: and then you can make an argument for all the
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: other tied end you know, you know, Ferguson's a little
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: bit more established, but you can make a comparison. Yeah,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: you can make a comp for all the positions on defense,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: all the positions on offense except for receiver. Right, So
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: that's moving them up three four spot. Do some heavy lifting. Yeah,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: so I feel like those two are comparable teams. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: just like Chicago's coach better and I like their quarterback better.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: How about the Detroit Lions coming at number six on
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: this list.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: I think I think that's correctly.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Baltimore Ravens coming at five on this list,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: even though they didn't make the postseason a year ago.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: There's some people that.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Love, and I mean love the race. Vegas loves the Ravens,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. Like we had that they have
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: the highest uh over under win uh WIND total in
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: the NFL, or at least tied with the highest, which
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: was like twelve and a half or something like that. Yeah,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: crazy right, because what they went seven game? Eight games?
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, losing record. Yeah hmm, I mean Zay Flowers is underrated.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: He really is.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: But like you're eleven personnel right now, you're rolling out
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Zay Flowers, Rasha Bateman, and Jacoby Lane with Mark Andrews,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: who I like, but getting a little bit older.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know about that. It's funny to say, you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: I think everybody can guess who number one on this
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: list is, and they're probably making this list and they
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: were probably like, yeah, they're number one. It's the Rams,
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: And I don't even think it's very close. And it's
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: incredible to even like think that that's that's part of,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: you know, something that I would say. In the NFL,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: when talent is supposed to be pretty equally spread, that's
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: pretty hard to make a list of the best roster
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: in the NFL. But this year it's hard to make
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: it from like two to thirty two. Number one is obvious,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: and I don't think it's probably very close. The Jets. Yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: the Jets figured Denver at eight.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It's a little low for me because of the teams
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: that they're behind.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking at it here.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Denver was good last year. Bottle is going to be
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a sneaky Bottle is going to be awesome pair of
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: him with a six to four receiver in Courtland sudden.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Maybe not sneaky's what the right word to say, but
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: that I think that I think that move probably isn't
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: getting talked about enough. There's a couple of things not
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: getting talked about enough. I think that's that's one of them,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: like Tyler shucks another one like legit and no, it's
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: not even with like a you know us being here
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: in South Louisiana. That's just like, look at what he did,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: nobody's talking about him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: It feels weird the stuff that he did at the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: end of last year and nobody's.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Talking about Doesn't it feel weird?
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: What people still don't even know how to say his
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: name right.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to find like literally like I will
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: hear people on major broadcast, major networks and they'll say
• 15:42

• 18:01
  Speaker 4: year fan.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: I am in every match, every.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Tournament, every whatever you want to call it, fan of
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: the United States men's national team. So I've been through
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: enough of these to kind of know what it is
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: how to cope with them not playing their best game
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: on the biggest stages.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: So when is when's the next time I get to
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: cheer for USA.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So you'll have some tournaments, You'll have Nations League, you'll
• 18:26

• 18:29
  Speaker 3: be in Copa America as well, which is going to
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: be okay, it's going to be between like if we're
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: in it now. It's usually a South American tournament, so
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: every country in South America it's their tournament, but every
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: so often they'll allow like multiple teams from CONCACAF, which
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: is you know, Canada, Mexico, US Panama, those teams, they'll
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: allow them to enter the tournament as well, And so
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: it would be kind of your confederation, not all of it,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: but half the teams are the better team teams against
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: their confederation.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: CEO part of CONKA CAF and COPA confederation. What that
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: is so funny, Like I don't think I've ever like,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: what is COPA. That's the first thing that came to
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: my mind, Like what is COPA mean? What does good.

  Speaker 4: Calf you know what, it's so Confederation of North Central
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: America and Caribbean Association Football.

  Speaker 5: That's CONCA. CAF just rolls right off the town.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: H It's funny, like nobody's ever asked, and I'm like,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: you know what, I don't know, but I do know
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: that Copa America is the oldest international continental football tournament
• 19:49

• 20:16
  Speaker 5: pretty imaginative. I mean it's old.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I mean and then you know, back then, it was
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: just like, hey, let's play for this cup.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: We're South America. Cope America. Yeah, love that.
• 20:29

  Speaker 4: Miami, Yes, all right, Miami's in this list.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Oregon, Oregon is on here.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Succeed succeed, okay, bils a big ten guy.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Indiana, No, Indiana right, No, I'm sorry, Indiana is on here.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: He has them as a first round by.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: So so back all right, Texas, yeah, Texas is He
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: actually has Texas. Ohio stayed in the quarterfinals against each other.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: I'm like that. I gotta say, he's gonna put Georgia
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: in there.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, Georgia is here. They're the two seed. Actually overall,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Indiana's one is one. Indiana is the one seed.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: It's a national article. And I love my boy Bill
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: been there. But I'm gonna say he put Notre Dame
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, notre names here. Boo, Wait, don't they have to
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: be put in? Isn't that a rule? Now? Didn't? Wait?
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: What was the thing that they came up with last year?
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: They as long as they have put in, Bill puts
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: it in here, he said. The changes this year automatic
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: bids obviously acc Big ten, Big twelve, sec highest ranked
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: group of six against a birth and Notre Dame will
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: be included in the field if they finish in the
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: top twelve of the rankings. So if they finished ranked
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: top twelve, they automatically make.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: That's the rule. And they mean they will because they
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: played nobody because they're cowards. M can you say that
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: now that you don't do college radio, Notre names cowards?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure. Okay, I still like Marcus, but yeah,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame has been that. I mean Marcus, I like
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: him too, but he's the coach of a bunch of cowards.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: It's going to have another SEC team.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: He's got two more and they actually he actually has
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the SEC playing against each other in the first round,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: like the games that will be on campus.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Two more. We've said, you said Texas, and you've said, uh.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think l she's in here because the way
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: you answered the first question, L.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: She was not on here. Oklahoma to right back, Oklahoma's
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: on There is the nine seed.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: They play.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: They play an SEC team A m are Old Miss y'all, y'all,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: all right, it is it is one of those teams.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna say.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: It's the Old Miss Rebels. The eight nine match up
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Old Miss versus Oklahoma.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: All right, Hey, look, I when when I when I
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: think of preseason rankings, when I think of how teams
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: are going to do and trying to predict on you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: which team is going to do what and make a run,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: I usually always do fault to the quarterback. And I'll
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: take the way Trinidad Chamblis was playing at the end
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: of the year, I'll take him over any quarterback in
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: college football going into the season. Now, I'll make change
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: my mind after the first couple of weeks, but the
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: way he played at the end of the year, I'll
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: take him over everybody, including the kid in Oregon got
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Timore and that's that's favorite quarterback is back up. Yeah,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: he just got there. He did. He just got there today.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Just transferred that broke yesterday. I think portals still open? Right?
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I forgot about that. Does the portal open still?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I I made that joke to you the other day
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, yeah, you know, And and
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Dylan really actually just transferred mad breaking news. I get
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: a text from Chris Marler, of all people, Jeess Tyler,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: you didn't know he already transferred there. I'm like, Chris,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: you're not part of the show. You don't get the joke.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: I was like, no, inevitably, somebody lesson thought that as well,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: and that probably should. I mean, you know, but what's
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: this deal. Obviously we're we gained thousands of listeners every day,
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: clearly across the world, no doubt also during the world. Yeah, well,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: let me ask you that. Let me let me ask
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: you the question about what I just commented on turn
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Out chamblis the way he played yesterday. Is there a
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: quarterback in college football you are taking over him to
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: start the year, start the year, to start the season
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: based on the performance last year.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, so he man, gosh, he was so so good
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: But I think sometimes in a conversation like this, we
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: do forget some of the small and it's not really small,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: the caveats of he's also going to be playing in
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: a new offense. And look, they can say it's the
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: same terminology, it's to shame this, that and the other.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: They can say that, and it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Would be true.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: It would like we get that, but also like, not
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: just Lane Kiffin, but Charlie Weisser not there. So you
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: go when you bring somebody to that's going to try
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: to basically until look until we're proven wrong. Cosplay a
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: little bit of what that offense is because he was
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: there as an assistant to the assistant and then he
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: goes East Carolina, right is where he goes, and he's
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: a coordinator, and then he comes back and so you're
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: gonna be using the same terminology, the same plays. But
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: as you know, calling a play in a fields, it's
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: different than knowing what the offense is. I'm sure this
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: guy knows the offense backwards and forwards, no doubt about it.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: But we have to see how that plays out.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Because to your point, I would be very excited if
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Trinidad Champblis was my quarterback of my team coming back.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: He's certainly a front runner for that conversation that you're
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: talking about MENSA for Miami, Like that's new for him too.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: But like last year at Duke, he was really really good.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: He's been going to Miami, so he's gonna have more
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: talent around him, so he'd be part of that conversation.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Julian Sayan would be a part of that conversation.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I think Julian Sayan might be the most overrated guy
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: going in the year Underrated.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: He finalist.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: He was a Heisman finalist a year ago, and like
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: people forget about that. Jeremih Smith, I went nowhere, Kyle
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Parker's gonna be great. I think you know how to
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: stay like he's got weapons.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah it is, yeah, my man.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: The general Bobby Carpenter was like, man, Kyle Parkers gets
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: pretty good.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Like, yeah, I'm surprising. Left, he was great Left. I
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: thought he'd be one of the bigger weapons for Reil. Shoot.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Nobody did say Dante, though I would.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I would take Dante just because of the Yeah, just
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: going into the seasons safer I think, I mean he was,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: he was pretty good at the end of the year.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: He's back with Dan Lanning. It's safer because second year
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: of the program as a starter.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: It's safer because of the stability around him, right, not
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: because of the kid.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Correct, Like player for player, I'm taking Trinidad, but situation,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I'm probably taking Dante more because he's more comfortable.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's that's kind of the question for me.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: The question is more like player to play, Like if
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: I'm building an offense around somebody, nobody played better, even Fernando,
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Like Fernando looked like a pro out there playing and
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: my god, was he good? But I can't unsee the
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: last handfull of games Trinida played the throws that he
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: was making and the plays out of his make like
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: nearly single handedly took like a play away like one
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: one pass interference not call away from being the National
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: Championship game, right.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: I mean I watched the I covered the sugar Bawl
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: was in the silence like game, and I was like,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: oh man, this kid's heavy lifting here, like through a
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: back shoulder to on a seam route.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Yea like it, which is a big league throw and
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: meant to do it. Now, you see a lot of
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: passes that end up back shoulder that aren't necessarily meant
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: to it. Meant to be back shoulder in a seam
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: route in college tells me a lot about how much
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: a kid has grown and how much like how he's
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: seeing the field. So I'm just saying, watch out for
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: that guy. Like if I'm picking and I'm determining like
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: over under totals on teams, like doing a little Vegas bedding,
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to do, if you're looking at before
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: the season, if you're looking at placing or predicting, whatever
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: you want to do. I always always look at quarterback
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: and what they did at the end of last year.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: So I take the quarterback every time? Why, Jacob, Because
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: it's the most important sports. Yeah, go ahead.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: A couple of returning quarterbacks. Drew Messenmakers is going to
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: be at Oklahoma State now not North Texas. He led
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: the country in passing.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Yards last year by a lot, so going to be
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: a step up obviously in competition for him. Dariy Minsay,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: as we said, goes from Duke to Miami. You've got
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: some others. Kevin Jennings is back for another year at SMU.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Somebody feels like he's been in college for seventeen seasons.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Josh Hoover going from TCU to Indiana. So it's a
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: couple of the quarterbacks that are going to be coming back.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Mayaba is coming back at USC, right, Yeah, so have
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: another year of him.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: He was fifth in the country Taylor. Where do you
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: rank Marcel at A and M. Where do you rank
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: him in the SEC? He's killed l s U two
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: years in a row.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: However, dude, you go look game by game at least
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: rushing wise, Helo, she's kind of in the outlier. You
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: get two games last year where he ran over seventy yards.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Only one with the one hundred yards and multiple touchdowns
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: that was LSU. I mean, it's like he's been great
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: against LSU, above average against everybody else. I don't know five,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: not eight like you said earlier, but five or what
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: that list was.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Five. I guess maybe it's one of those times you
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: you're looking at something on the Instagram and you're really
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: interested in what you're reading, but it refreshes on you
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: and like you can't never find it again. That's what
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: happened yesterday. It's like, I don't know why I didn't
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: refresh earlier before I started scrolling. Kissed me. Yeah.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I mean here, you take above him March. I'm taking
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Gunner Stocked and above him under Stock has won a
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: lot of games.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: There, Georgia take Trinidad.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Taking Trinidad, I'm taking Sam because Sam's a better player.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Sam's a better player. So there's two years ago, so
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: there's four, right, there's what fifth Alabama?
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: You don't know. Kenny Minch hadn't played in the conference yet.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Missouri's got Austin Simmons. He wasn't great when he played
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: at all. Miss I mean, there's a lot of unknown
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: John Mattier maybe yeah, MATERI materir yeah.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: So okay, so six, I'm sure some people are taking
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: South Carolina. I know you're not, but maybe so. I mean,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: I guess eight. Maybe it's not because what that puts
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: a bit six or seven right there? Not out of
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: the question.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: All right, we will take a break. Lshue basketball.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Got some news.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's not what you're thinking, but it is news.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Hey, we're with some Nick Thunderhill this week out of town.

• 33:56
  Speaker 5: I'm not. It's great. It's a great little spot a
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: little well that one's kind of like smaller on purpose though,
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: because it's like right in the middle of the about.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: You'll get it. Tell me more else dot com. Yeah,
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: go to Rosses dot com, Rosses dot com. I need
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: to stay true to myself for a little bit, just
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: for a couple of minutes here, Okay, I need to
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: give everybody because everybody's been waiting. They've waited. This is
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: in up over two and a half hours now for
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: a Tour de France update, So go ahead, got a
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: big change. It's no it's no secret. While we got
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: these yellow panels next to this obviously community steel, but
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: the best bike rider in the whole world is now
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: donning the yellow jersey. Todday, Pagacha takes the stage victory
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: yesterday Stage three victory and takes the yellow jersey away.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: The Mao de Joan takes it away from his arrival
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: on then to Go, so they actually overall after three
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: stages they have the exact same time. So technically from
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: a time standpoint, they they're the same. But because of
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: the different rules, he wins the stage, so he gets
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: the yellow jersey. So it is up to his team.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: It's up to his UA team to defend the yellow
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: jersey now, which is they've proven four times already in
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: their their career are in today's career that they are
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: very good at doing that so it's going to be
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: an exciting tour. They are in stage four today. They
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: got about twenty six point one miles left in today's race,
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: so it looks like the breakaway is going to get
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: away today. Jake, you definitely remember what the breakaway means.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Hold on, what's the big group of writers called the
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: main group? You remember anyways? US Postal Service? Yes, that's
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: what it was when.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: As the peloton, So the breakaway is after nobody's kind
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: of used all their energy to get the main guys
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: slingshot into the front.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: No, so the peloton is the main group of bike riders,
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: racers usually where the yellow jersey is usually, so it's
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: like the big group. They all ride together, so they're
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: all drafting it off to each other and everything. The
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: breakaway is a group of a smaller group of people
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: that go out in front and try to like sprint
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: at the beginning, try to do they break away from
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: the group and they try to go and they try
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: to get enough. Like usually a small group of like
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: two or three or four is not gonna make it
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: because it's not enough people to lead the way and
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: let everybody else draft. But if they get a big
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: enough group then they can a lot of times they
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: can survive, they can get out there, and sometimes a
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: peloton doesn't want to chase them down because they don't
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: need to. Well, today they had about I think about
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: almost thirty riders breakaway, so it looks like they are
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: going to crush it. The peloton's almost like eight minutes
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: behind them with like twenty twenty five miles left, so
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: it looks like the breakaway is going to win. Today
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: they got a couple of leaders. They're for position right now.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be exciting. The peloton will chase down the
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: breakaway if somebody in the peloton thinks they have a
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: chance at winning the stage. That's like one of the
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: main GC teams ggc's General Competition. That's the guys that
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: go for the elegent, go for the overall win. But
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: like yesterday, the breakaway, everybody, all the announcers thought that
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: the breakaway was going to survive and win. So for
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: whatever is and Toddy Pagatcha's team, they spent a lot
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: of energy to attack and try to catch it because
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: they thought Todday had a good chance of winning. Todday
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: basically mid races like I feel great, let's go. I'm
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: gonna spend your energy, teammates, because I'm gonna go take
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: this victory. And they did it and they achieved it.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: Like but the whole time they're like, I don't know
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: why this UA team's pushing so hard. Well they figured
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: out why because today is the man anyone, and he
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: took the oellow jersey, so it was all worth it.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: But today you can tell, like when you have the
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: yellow jersey, pretty much it's your team's responsibility to lead
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: the peloton the whole time and defend it. Everybody wants
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: to just draft off to you, so you could tell
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: that they're not trying to do it. They're like eight
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: minutes behind right now, so there's nobody that is a
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: threat to the yellow jersey or in the breakaway. That's
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: why they don't chase him down. That's let him go
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: there you go. It feels like to kind of pair
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: this to soccer.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Sure, it feels like all these players are doing all
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: this work and like, you know, all these passes and
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: they make the run and they get they get fouled
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: in the box. It's like and then Rinaldo just says no, no, no, no, no,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I take my team, he grabs the ball, he takes
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: the penalty even exactly, and then he scores the goal.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: It feels like a lot like that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of yeah. But what's exciting about the Tour
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: de France is there are some very key stages. There's
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: twenty one stages total. There's very key stages in this
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: thing where at the end of the day, your teammates
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: get you to a certain point on the mountain. But
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, it's usually eye to
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: eye with your arrival. But the top writers in the
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: whole world, the one that everybody's fighting for and killing
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: themselves for, at the end of the day, it's those
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: two usually that look at each other and they're like,
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: all right, who can climb up this mountain? The back
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: and they attack each other and it's it's actually pretty cool.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Then you see like, oh, oh hell, those guys are
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: those guys are really good?
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, all right, we will take a break.

  Speaker 5: Rocky four. God, I hate you cause that's where I

• 41:10
  Speaker 5: Rocky four, I mean that's the answer.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Another good one.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Ask the bench, what do you call the clothing you
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: wear in a pool, swim suit or bathing suit?
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: Really good question.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I think I kind of bounce back and forth, honestly,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Like I don't really have a It's.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: Not like a snow snowball, snow Conesa.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: No.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: I think swim suit more, but go back and forth.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: I do swim suit more as well, But I don't
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: think it's like the snowball snow cunt thing. You're like
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: you're one of the other on the other side. Like
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: this is like I think everybody kind of uses this
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: a little same. Somebody said Red Dawn, great movie original.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Asked the bench, are you glad you can rest now?
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Like the United States Men's national team captain Polistic no.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: He said that want to do a little bit more,
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: he said, he glad he said that.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know, I missed that. If if he
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: did it, it's.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Not gonna surprise me, all right, really not gonna surprise
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Mere's asked the bitch. Why has the United States men's
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: national team not reached the talent level of the elite
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: national teams that compete international play while the US women's
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: national team has.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: I think the United States women's national team certainly was
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: a point of empsis before some other countries. And then
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: give them all their credit in the world for not
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: only like they did it before everybody and they were winning,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: but then when everybody kind of caught up, they raised
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: their level of play to another level.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: They didn't just stay there, right. They realized that teams
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: and countries were putting more resources and catching up to them.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: And they had two choices.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: We can be somebody's competitive but not maybe winning, or
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: we can raise our level of play and still be dominant.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: And look, they're not gonna win.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Every tournament anymore, but they still win more than they lose,
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: and so give them credit for raising their level of play.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: And I don't think they get pulled away like the
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: men do to other sports as much as they do
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: for the men, Like the right, wrong, or different, the
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: popularity of women's professional sports isn't as high as like
