  Speaker 1: So the lead this hour. We are going deep, deep
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: into the solar system. And something I don't often talk about,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Jerry's World. It's my favorite place to visit. I don't
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: know about your favorite place in the Milky Way, but
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: my favorite place.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Is Jerry's world.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And if you ever got a sports talk radio show,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: your replaced the visit would be Jerry's World. So we
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: follow the life in Times of America's team, the cinematic
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: drama trying to find a new head coach. If you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: haven't heard the latest, maybe you're out playing in the snow, right.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: A lot of people sending me pictures of the.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Snow and the video and the cold and all that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So maybe you're out enjoying the nice, nice January bombing conditions.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: If you enjoy the cold weather.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So we've learned the Cowboys, the Dallas Cowboys have completed
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: an interview not with Dion Sanders. No no, no, no
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: no no. They've gone above Dion Sanders. They have completed
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: an interview with Brian Schottenheimer. Say what, yeah, Brian Schottenheimer
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: for the vacant head coaching job. We are told that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the interview took three and a half hours. What could
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they possibly have talked about for three and a half hours.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I've been in a few
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: job interviews over the years. None of them have lasted
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: three and a half hours. They sit down a wht cartoons.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: What were they doing for three and a half hours?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'd love to know. Anyway, If you look at the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: big board, the big board, this marks not one, not two,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: not three? How about number four? Number four is on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the door. That's the fourth interview you had. Kellen Moore
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: virtually Robert Salah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: More on him in a minute, and.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser down goes Frasier, down, goes fras Now Dion Sanders,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a popular pick by popular people, is not on that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: list despite conobling Now, would anyone be surprised if Jerry
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: has stealth bomber like interviewed Dion Sanders, he takes some
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: drone and flown over to Colorado. How to chat with Dean?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Nobody be shocked by that. But the the name of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the day, not to be confused with the soup of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the day or the special of the day of the day.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: A la cart is Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys dining
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: al Fresco outside with Brian Schottenheimer, who was on the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Cowboy coaching staff. He was listed as the offensive coordinator,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but Mike McCarthy did all the heavy lifting, and he's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: been considered for both the head coach, we are told,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and offensive coordinator positions in Dallas. So let us discuss
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the question, how do you classify the latest reporting that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones has spoken and interviewed Brian Schottenheimer, the spawn
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of Marty Schottenheimer, for.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: The Cowboy coaching jobs.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So I've got arcade, Mafia and tree hugger, and we
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: going to make a clay Doll Gumby Gumby. You might
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: not know who that is, but popular back in the day,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: all right, So A, you do not have to be
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Jay Glazer or Adam Schefter to know that this name,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer does not move the needle. Does not move
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the needle, Like, what are we doing here? You're the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Dallas bleep and Cowboys. In fact, that name is so
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: disgusting it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Makes me want to puke in my mouth.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, Robert Sala, Leslie Fraser, and Brian Schottenheimer tell
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: me you're not even trying.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Without telling me you're not even trying, what are we doing.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer is the kind of guy that the Colts
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: would hire or the ben Gals.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: He's a jack is what he is. Just a coach,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's what he is.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Nothing special. Has over twenty years in the game. It's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: good to be the son of an NFL coach. So
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the younger shot and iron. Brian Schottenheim twenty years, over
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: twenty years coaching, he said, multiple stints with multiple franchises
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: as offensive coordinator, four different teams. None of them he
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: left the mark on. We used to goofind him when
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he was with the Jets, but who doesn't. So he's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a nepotism baby. He's Bronnie James is what he is.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: He's a nepo baby. Now Jerry is running this coaching
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: search like he's at the arcade. He's had a couple
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of shots of whiskey or whatever. He's blindfolded and he's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: playing the claw machine, and he's attempting to get the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: big Stuffy to be the coach of the Cowboys. This conversation, well,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it's just you know, we'll talk, we'll talk about whatever's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: going on here. But he's just like you're drawing a blank.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: It's like, what are you doing? You know, even even
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: for due diligent purposes, it's bad for fan morale. Schottenheimer
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: has no business of being a head coach, not of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a glamour franchise, allegedly like the Cowboys. But it makes
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: no sense even to hire somebody were saying, well, they
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: just interviewed him to hire him as the offensive coordinator,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and that gets on your nerves soon. And I have
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: no skin in the game. I'm not a Cowboy fan,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: but you follow the chain of command. You you hire
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the head coach, and then the head coach. They're the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: ones that pick the offensive cordator, not vice versa. It's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: like you're counting your chickens before they hatch here, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that's a bad job by you. So I understand. I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a Cowboy supporters. The Cowboy loyalists are going on a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: wild ride here. They're being taken into.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: The Winnie the Pooh world.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And they are playing the role of e Or and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they're becoming even more miserable and pessimistic, pessimistic. They're like
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the Donkey very much. So question everything, and you must
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: be a skeptic about all of of Jerry's plans. Is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he Is he really going to hire another sock puppet?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Is Dave Campbell's still around? Can they bring him back?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And they go back in the way back machine. Well,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the Clappers on TV every Sunday, they can bring him back.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Clap on, clap off the clapper. He's available. He's on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: TV all right now, Page two. So elsewhere as we
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: spam the globe to bring you the latest on the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: coaching care So, Mike McCarthy, did you see this? Mike
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: McCarthy supposed to interview with the Saints, but that was
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: delayed by the southern blast of cold, snowy weather that
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: hit the southern United States below the Mason Dixon line,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: So Mike McCarthy's trip was delayed to the Bayou. However, however,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: he is the betting favorite McCarthy to get the job
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in now Leans. This after the Bears snashed Ben Johnson.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: This is the only gig Mike McCarthy the only one
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy has been prominently mentioned for or is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: in even being considered for at this point.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Now do you think do you think that Mike.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: McCarthy is nervous? Do you think he's nervous about being
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: shut out on this go round of.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: The coaching cycle? So I will play psychologist, something that
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: we have to do when you have a talk show.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So I believe the concern level is very small, marginal, marginal.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Here's why, by all accounts, at this point when you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: read the room, Mike McCarthy is still in the pole position. Now.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: He was in the pole position for the Bears job
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and then.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: He lost the race. He lost the race, but he
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't for a while. He was in the pole position there,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So you could lose this job too. Plus, and this
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: is the main point when you talk about Mike McCarthy,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: is he's financially set eighteen years cartoon size NFL head
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: coach checks New Orleans is not a great job. It's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: not the roster blows. It's a piecemeal organization. If Mike
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: McCarthy goes to a place like No Orleans and sucks
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: at a time, you cannot suck. Guess what, It doesn't matter.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He's a made man anyway. Whether he gets the job
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: or not. Success in the football world is a shirt.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: He's a fully initiated member of the NFL Mafia, which means,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: whether he gets this job or not, he'll either get
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: some no show, decently paying consulting job in the NFL
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: or or he'll draw a line over to some TV
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: job somewhere. My favorite now is a podcast. Everyone wants
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to do audio content, and he can do a podcast.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: But either way, he's going to get a gig that'll
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: pay him a decent amount while he treads water and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: waits for another head coaching job to open up with
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: his name on it. All right, last word, we now
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: go to mean this salt. We peel back the onion
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and we step further into the Viking ship, where coach
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell has agreed to a multi die year contract extension.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Multi year contract extension avoiding ducktown status lame duck status.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: He had one year left and he had made a.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Deal with the Devil.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: He was upset the Vikings wouldn't extend him last year,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: so he ends up staying on the sidelines in the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Twin Cities.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So what is the life lesson?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: What is the life lesson of Kevin O'Connell's Vikings extension.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: You're probably saying them out, there's no life lesson. You're
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just talking out of your took us with the life lesson,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with you?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: But there is a life lesson here. There's a couple
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Lesson number one, The playoffs don't matter, all right. The
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Vikings absolutely embarrassed themselves. They ran into a hurricane in
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: their underwear. They were not prepared, They were not showing
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: any sense of urgency, even though they were down by
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a gazillion points to the Rams, they were seemingly running
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: out the clock. And despite that and many people getting
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: on their soapbox saying what is Kevin O'Connell doing, clearly
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the organization was just happy to make the playoffs, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: they were blaming it on Sam Darnold and not O'Connell.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: On the Houdini act of exiting the playoffs stays left
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: against the Rams. Lesson number two, it's a teachable moment.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Lesson number two, Timing matters. Timing matters, and also being
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: an environmentalist, being a tree hugger matters, because when you're
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a tree hugger, you have to plant trees or go
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a very well timed leak, a very well timed league
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: from Kevin O'Connell's camp, whether it was his agent or
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: someone else to Jay Glazer right before the final Sunday
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of the NFL season was going to kick off members
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: on the Fox pregame show, and Jay Glazer had the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: story that there was a story that had been planted
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: inside Jay's phone, inside Jay's phone that the other NFL
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: teams were plotting to try a trade for Kevin O'Connell
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and get him out of Minnesota. Oh man, that was
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a big story. So that clearly a plant, right. That
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: fairy tale in the NFL pregame show was meant to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: put some pressure on the Viking ownership, the people that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: call the shots there, and it worked right spoiler alert,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It hit the center of the bullseye right there. Boom,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: center shot bullseye. So Kevin O'Connell is signed, sealed and delivered.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: All the teas have been crossed, the dyes have been added,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: dotted on the on the the docu sign. So now
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we'll see whether or not he has the Midas touch
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: or the Sadam Touch with JJ McCarthy, whether it's lost
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: in translation or better, days are ahead for the Minnesota
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Vikings player that had a essentially a red shirt year. Right,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy got hurt in play. I suppose he learned
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: while watching. We'll see if that pays pays off or not.
• 14:02

  Speaker 2: B what Mallard of the third degree later this hour.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: But our lead from college football the day after Ohio
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: State basking and the after glow of beating Notre Dame
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: in the National Championship game back on Monday, Monday, Monday night,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and so they're still celebrating. Many people focusing in on
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the return to glory for Ryan Day, the head coach
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in Columbus.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: He was under fire, under siege.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: After the Buck guys had lost to Michigan in the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: regular season final.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: He's been well.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Documented how bad that loss was in Columbus, despite being
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: massive favorites.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And now they've come back and won the championship.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you've been concerent doomed with
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the chatter, the autopsy on how that happened, the blow
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: by blow and all of that. Perhaps not, But I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. So Ryan Day was dragged through
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the mud. Not fair. Now everyone's writing, Oh, it's not fair.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Oh blah blah blah bla blah blah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah, bah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: After the loss to the Wolverines back in the end
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four, and so now he's got the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: receipts and he can walk around like a peacock, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: clearly the storyline has changed. So let us discuss the question.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Let's get right to the meat of the matter. Does
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Ohio State coach Ryan Day deserve to go on an
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: apology tour.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And get a.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Bunch of I'm sorry from the various critics. Does Ohio
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: State coach Ryan Day deserve an apology from the people
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that were critical of his coach? So I've got stables, animaniacs,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and whistle stop and we will combine all of these
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: things together, and we are going to carve out of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a mountain. We're going to carve something out of a mountain.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: So first of all, I'm shaking my head. No, I'm
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: shaking my head. No, Ryan Day does not deserve an
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: apology Ohio State. He deserved to be roast.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, so he didn't deserve.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: The buddy was at the time that took place, that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: was accurate criticism of Ryan Day. And that's how it works.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: You went out, you bought your team, which is fine.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem. I like the Dodgers. They
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: buy their team. I'm happy with that. But when the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Dodgers don't win, they get ripped. Ohio State went out
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: tried to pay for a championship, and it looked like
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't going to work out. They spend over twenty
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: million dollars, which for now is a lot of money.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: In a few years it'll be one hundred million. But
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: they were favored by twenty and a half points at
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: one moment in time against the Michigan football team, So
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: they were almost three touchdown favorites. They were at home,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and they gagged. They suffocated, They choked. The Buck guys choked.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: The moment was too big. They couldn't handle it. Michigan
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: had been so blah. But yet Michigan in that game
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: kept Ohio State's offense and checked the rivalry game. And
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: if you look at the last few years, I know
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that was Jim Harball, but Michigan has dominated Ohio State
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in recent years. And that's the game that matters more
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: than every other game for the Buck guys. We all
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: know that, even if you're not from Ohio or you're
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: not from Michigan, you know that Ryan Day had been
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: goofed on. But that goes with the real estate. See
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that goes with the territory. You buy the land, you
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: get that on the land, that's part of the land.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And he's well compensated for his troubles. He makes over
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year, just got a million dollar bonus.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: So with that million dollar bonus, I assume that Ryan
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Day can afford to go down to the stables. Probably
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: has a big ranch, big plantation there. Go down to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: your stables, and why don't you get one of those
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: many therapy horses and help manage your anxiety if this
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: is really an issue. You're expected to win titles at
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. You hadn't won a title at Ohio State
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: as the coach, and so you you don't need an
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: apology if you're Ryan Day, because you were held accountable.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That's the yin and the yang right to give and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the take, and that's how it works. And you might
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: not like that, but that's the way it works. And
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: now the other storyline about Ohio State is should Ryan
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Day leave the buck Eyes because of the way the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: fans were toxic towards him and his family, leave Ohio
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: State behind for the NFL.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So this is one of those.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Cinderella stories, you know, run off and go to the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: big Dance in the NFL. But at this point, there
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: is no indication that anyone from the NFL wants Ryan Day. Now,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it might be wrong on this, I don't know. I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: just see the Overnight show. Maybe somebody will pop up
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: later today, is that we want Ryan Day. But at
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: this point, at this point, bupkiss right, So it does
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: take two to tango.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think you can just give yourself a job.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think Ryan Day can get on the phone
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and call up the Jacksonville football team and say, hey,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: i'd like them, I'd like to coach the Jags.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Can I do that? I don't think that's how that works.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's it's a nice thought to say he's
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: gonna run off and become a head coach in the NFL.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: And he's been a coach working his way up and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: then becoming a head coach for twenty five years. Out
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: of those twenty five years of coaching, he spent exactly
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: two years as a.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Positional coach, not a coordinator.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Positional coach in the NFL, and outside of you look
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: around like Pete Carroll, Jimmy Johnson, most college coaches, it
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: has not worked out.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Now each situation is unique. Urban Meyer. He had a
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: very good.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Time with the young ladies there at the bar, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: on the field didn't work out so well for Urban.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Secondly, we go to the wisdom of a voice of
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: college football, Joel Clatt, the Fox Sports commentator Joel Clatt
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: there got on his soapbox. He was not happy, not
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: pleased with the end of the college football season.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: He went on a ran.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: He said, this is supposed to be the pinnacle of
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: our sport, meaning the championship game, the destination for every player, coach, fan. Clatt,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: on his soapbox ranted, Yet somebody decided that playing the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: national championship on a Monday night deep into the NFL
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: playoffs was a good idea. Clatt grumbled, the mismanagement of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: college football has been egregious.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Close quote all right.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: So Fox Sports college football pundit Joel Clatt.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Not even really implying. I think he just laid it
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: all out.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: For you that college football made a terrible mistake by
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: playing the national title game in essentially late January and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs are going on. Are you going to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: vote down or you're going to vote up on this?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: You're gonna vote up or you're gonna vote down on
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Joel Clatt saying that this was a terrible mistake by
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the gods of college football. So I'm going to downvote
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: this take. I'm going to downvote this take. I disagree
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: with Joel Klatt. Times are a change in and Clatt
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: knows exactly who's responsible for this change. It's not exactly
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: like it's a secret. This is not some kind of
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: classified document.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: It's this is not a.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: National security issue here, he said, somebody decided to play
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the national Championship game on Monday. B Well, we know
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: who that is. Two letters on the wheel of fortune.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Can I get a T and a V? Yes. TV
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: they're the ones that are omnipresent. They're the ones that
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: are the sugar daddy of college sports. They're the ones
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: calling shots. So it's not mismanagement. Is a cost benefit
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: analysis kind of obvious.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: It's kind of obvious.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: They they're the ones that pay the check, They buy
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the games and all that TV, ESPN, ABC, everything's bigger
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five college football.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: It's the new world order of college football.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And it's much like animaniacs, the people that put the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: TV together and college football. They get together, all right,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and they're like pinky in the brain and it's like pinky,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: san gee, Brain, what are we gonna do tonight? And
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: brain responds with the same thing we do every night,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: try to take over the world.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's scientifical. The people in charge who they try to
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: figure out.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: How many people can we get to watch, the biggest
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: audience we can get to watch. They crunch the numbers,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: They put a ven diagram together and they determine what
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: is the optimal time, the date and time to play
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: these games. Get the biggest bang for their buck, the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: biggest bang for their buck. Right, that's how you do it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Can't compete with the NFL playoffs head to head, although
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I mean if you could compete, you would play on
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the weekend. You can't do that, So you gotta play
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: on a Monday night or a Thursday or whatever Friday,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: so you schedule around those games. The NCAA players actually
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: benefits trickle down economics because more exposure brings higher ratings,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: which means more money for advertisers, which means more money
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: will filter down to the players via nil deals because
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the sponsors will want to be associated with the players
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and more money in the free agency of college football.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: There'll be a quiz on this later. It's not that hard,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: all right, Final five. So we go now to Michael Vick.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: He's the head coach. Now. Michael Vick, he was introduced recently,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: is the head coach at Norfolk State. That's a school
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: you've never heard of in Virginia. Michael Vick says his
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: goal with Norfolk State coaching football there is to eventually
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: get a Power five job at a job at a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Power five school.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: So how does this play out?
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: All right? The obvious thing he is you follow the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: yellow brick road of Deon Sanders. The only reason Michael
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Vick has a job is because of Deon Sanders. If
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Deon Sanders had fallen on his face and there had
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: been no buzz with Deon Sanders, Michael Vick would not
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: be coaching Norfolk State.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Right, This is a whistle stop tour for Michael Vick,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and he's got the whistle in his mouth. He's got
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: an opportunity make something out of nothing. It was the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: great P. T. Barnum, the man that pointed out the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: importance of the Novelty Act, and without promotion foresaid, novelty act,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: something terrible happens. You don't have promotion nothing. So whether
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Michael Vick wins or not, his secondary Deon Sanders had
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: some success at Jackson State, but he wasn't God's gift
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: to coaching at Jackson State. But he built up a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: lot of good karma, right, that was the most important thing,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and so he then ran off to Colorado and got
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: that job. Michael Vick, by coaching standards, is getting paid peanuts.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: He's got a four year contract to coach football at
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a school with really no budget and four hundred thousand
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: dollars annually the base salary at Norfolk State, which is
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: kind of like working at your first job at the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: car wash or as a lifeguard during the summer. It's
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a good starter job. Get your feet wet a little bit,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: see where it goes. And Michael Vick is dating himself
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: because there is.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: No more Power five. I don't know if you heard about.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: This, but the PAC twelve was swallowed up. It was
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: eaten by the other conferences, so there is no more
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: power five. The PAC twelve is dead. There's no more
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: PAC twelve. So and really there's really the power two.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: It doesn't sound as good to say the Power two.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Sounds cool to say Power five or Power four, but
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: it's really the Power two. It's the Big Ten, the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: reigning champions of college football from Ohio State, and it's
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the Southeastern Conference.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Who did not make the championship.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: That's the list right there. Those are the two power conferences.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Now, the smart money says, if Michael Vick knows what
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: he's doing, and that's on one side of the diagram,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the diagram, you've got the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Virginia Tech football program, and if they start floundering along here,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: then there's a collision course where Michael Vick is uscending
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and Virginia Tech is descending. And then there's the point,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the sweet spot.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Where they meet. And then when they meet, that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Presents opportunity for Michael Vick to end up coaching his
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: old school. That seems to be pointing in that direction.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: If the Hokies do the hockey poke.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: And start winning, and then I'll screw things up.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Deon Sanders has not gotten the Florida State seminal job,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: for example, although they have been not exactly taken off
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: there at Florida.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: State, be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It's maller how about that?
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets grilled.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Koberlok Cooper Cup spoke with reporters on Monday about his future,
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: and he said, I feel like I've got a lot
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: of good football left in me. I'll be playing football
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: next year, that much I know Ben. Will he be
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: playing it with the Rams?
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Well, he could be playing it with his kids, I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: don't know, or kids in the neighborhood park. The indicators
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: are he will not be with the Rams next year.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: The Rams haven't out on their contract. They'd have to
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: pay him if they keep him almost thirty million dollars
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: and he's a number two or number three receiver. He
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: was really a number three receiver this year. Poka Nakua
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: is clearly the number one guy, so they're not going
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: to pay him that Money's thirty two next season.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I say he's not a Ram next year next.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Former quarterback turned to analyst Chris Simms had an interesting
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: take on the Mark Andrews drop over the weekend. He said,
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Mark Andrews needs to catch it. Don't get me wrong,
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: but Lamar Jackson making fifty five million a year, he
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: double clutched it and threw it like a dart. He
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: made it as hard as possible, as hard as it
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: could possibly be for a wide open touchdown.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Bet does he have a point?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean he's not. I've heard Boomersiasin said something similar.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I guess Sims.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I mean these quarterbacksally like, well, he didn't fund he
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't fundamentally right, Lamar on that throw, I you know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get in the technical stuff. But yet
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: still Mark Andrew should have caught. But he was not
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a perfect pass. But Andrew should he got to catch
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the ball. I mean it bounced off his chest, for
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: God's sakes. I mean that's embar. It's like Baul bounced
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: off your face. What are you doing all right?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Next?
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: John Calipari and Arkansas fell to zero to five an
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: SEC play Saturday, and an anonymous rival SEC coach said
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: the fear is gone and that the coach is becoming archaic.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: Ben, do you think the game has passed John Calipari?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: By no, He's just got to find better plays. He
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: would just overwhelm everyone at Kentucky and the other places
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: he's coached with raw talent. But now the other schools
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: have caught up. But he's just got to pay for
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: better players. I guess.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: But it's I'm not gonna say's washed up?
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: How did we do you pass?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I passed that to win?
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I won Winter, Ben Bather Winter, I won the game.

• 30:36
  Speaker 8: here on the Ben Mallor Show. Ben. What kind of
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: questions we got tonight?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Wow, we get a lot of questions. And snowing in
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Bourbon Street.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: I love that.
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: I wish I could have a little drink on Bourbon
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: Street in the snow with my snow boots and a scarf.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: You like that so cute walk down Bourbon Street. I understand,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: very nice. Well, it is the Queen of Hearts. These
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: are actual questions by actual listeners to the show. First
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: one comes from Ferg Dog and Dog how do I
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: convince women? Ferg Dog says that I'm not a big jerk.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: Well, first off, you have to stop being a big jerk.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Shots fired, Okay.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: Whatever they perceive you as is obviously what you're being,
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: So you know, maybe you change up your rhythm movie.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Mike and Colorado writes and says, I recently had an
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: ex girlfriend contact me and ask me to donate the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: seed of life.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: If you will here, so she could try to get pregnant.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Should I do that?
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: That is so cool? I love that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: I think it's an honor for someone who you have
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: dated in your past to hit you up, not for
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: anything besides the fact that they want your jeens because
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: you have such good genes, they liked you as a person.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Should he run that by his wife?
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, obviously maybe.
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: And also you have to think about it like this too,
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: because if you actually do go through with it, that
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: kid's probably gonna want to know you later on in
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: their life, even if you're not involved in their childhood.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and at some point with the DNA testing,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: they will find.
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: They will find you. So that's definitely something you'd have to,
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: you know, go have it.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: They'll have a chat.
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: But if your wife was cool with that too, that'd
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: be really nice.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: All right. A cowboy killer writes and says lorraina queen
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: of hearts, would you ever give your significant other a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: whole pass on a guys.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Or girls trip or spring break?
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: One day?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: You know, Andre Carolinko, like one one day a year
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: you go out and go for it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: No, I don't know, I I it depends, It depends.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: I'm going to say it depends.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: What does it depend on the situation and our relationship
• 32:45
