0:41
Speaker 2: to Chip Howard's sports talk here on the Zone eleven
0:44
Speaker 2: fifty A ninety three point seven FM. Caleb fill An
0:48
Speaker 2: in for Chip today alongside Riley and Trey, and we've
0:52
Speaker 2: got a little breaking news on the NFL front. Sources
1:00
Speaker 2: have leaked that Bill Belichick did not get into the
1:03
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame on the first ballot, so earlier this
1:07
Speaker 2: month was the voting, and they're not actually going to
1:09
Speaker 2: announce it until I think early February. But somebody leaked
1:15
Speaker 2: that Belichick did not get in.
1:17
Speaker 5: They're waiting until he is fully done from any coaching
1:20
Speaker 5: at all.
1:21
Speaker 2: It could be that, but it's also insane that a
1:24
Speaker 2: coach that has the most Super Bowls ever of any coach.
1:28
Speaker 6: Winning head coach and is not on the ballot. I
1:30
Speaker 6: mean that is they're saying he fell forty out of
1:33
Speaker 6: fifty votes.
1:35
Speaker 2: Well, but you need forty out of fifty.
1:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, he fell that.
1:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane to me. I mean, he's won eight rings.
1:42
Speaker 2: Even if you think Tom Brady carried him to half
1:44
Speaker 2: of those, he's still won it. It's kind of that's
1:48
Speaker 2: pretty insane to me. But you know, I don't follow
1:51
Speaker 2: the NFL that closely, so I'm not sure exactly what
1:55
Speaker 2: the motivation was there, But that's that's wild. Most most
2:01
Speaker 2: super Bowls. How do you not put in the guy
2:03
Speaker 2: that has the most, has the most rings out out
2:05
Speaker 2: of everybody.
2:05
Speaker 6: Also has the most playoff wins as a head coach,
2:08
Speaker 6: most playoff appearances, he has the most divisional championships, He's
2:11
Speaker 6: third overall in wins. I mean, that is insanity.
2:15
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's pretty wild, but let's uh, let's
2:19
Speaker 2: move into the the people that are still in the NFL,
2:23
Speaker 2: not not the people that that are dropped down to
2:26
Speaker 2: coach college and uh, you know, lose eight games. But anyway,
2:30
Speaker 2: I'm not bitter. Don't mind me, I don't. I don't
2:33
Speaker 2: hold any grudges. The Bills have signed Joe Brady to
2:38
Speaker 2: be their next head coach, which was their often as
2:42
Speaker 2: the coordinator of the last couple of seasons, and I
2:44
Speaker 2: think that's that's probably good hire. Yeah, I mean it
2:46
Speaker 2: was known going into this search once they fired Sean
2:50
Speaker 2: McDermott that who they hired it was pretty much gonna
2:53
Speaker 2: come down to who Josh Allen had the best relationship with,
2:56
Speaker 2: or at least that was going to be a really
2:58
Speaker 2: big part of it. And I ously Brady has he
3:02
Speaker 2: helped Alan win the MVP in twenty twenty four. They
3:06
Speaker 2: averaged twenty eight point three points per game in twenty
3:10
Speaker 2: twenty five, thirty point nine points per game in twenty
3:12
Speaker 2: twenty four, which was fourth and second in the league, respectively.
3:17
Speaker 2: So they've been top five in offense both of Brady's
3:21
Speaker 2: years as the offensive coordinator. And I think this is
3:23
Speaker 2: his first head coaching job. He didn't head coach in
3:25
Speaker 2: college either. He was the offensive coordinator for LSU in
3:29
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen when Joe Burrow had that record breaking season,
3:33
Speaker 2: but I don't think he's had an opportunity to be
3:36
Speaker 2: the head guy. So it's gonna be really interesting to see.
3:38
Speaker 5: What he does.
3:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm excited. I love when offensive coordinators get thrown
3:41
Speaker 6: into the head coaching position. I also love defensive coach too,
3:44
Speaker 6: but I don't know, there's something different that they bring
3:46
Speaker 6: into the mix, and just to see how they want
3:48
Speaker 6: to run their offense. I mean, this year, the Bill's season,
3:51
Speaker 6: they were ranked fourth in scoring and total yards, and
3:55
Speaker 6: they're also ranked second in yards per rushing attempt. So
3:57
Speaker 6: I mean it's gonna be and he's all gonna have
4:00
Speaker 6: a majority of his team still and then also picking
4:02
Speaker 6: up people in the draft. I don't know. I think
4:03
Speaker 6: it's gonna be pretty exciting to see what he does
4:05
Speaker 6: when he takes over this franchise.
4:07
Speaker 5: For whatever my opinion is worth, I think this is
4:10
Speaker 5: a really good hire for the Bills because if it's
4:12
Speaker 5: somebody from the inside that already knows Josh Allen, like
4:16
Speaker 5: I would saying names thrown out for possible like Bill's
4:19
Speaker 5: head coaching job, like Brian Dable who was the Giants
4:22
Speaker 5: head coach and he got fired halfway through the season.
4:24
Speaker 5: I was like, are we really gonna hire him? I
4:26
Speaker 5: feel like that's almost a downgrade. So I think this
4:29
Speaker 5: is a much better route than you know, no shade.
4:33
Speaker 5: But like Mike McCarthy, I think this is so much better.
4:35
Speaker 2: I don't know that's that's an interesting one. But Mike
4:38
Speaker 2: McCarthy to Pittsburgh. I could see that going either way.
4:42
Speaker 5: I agree with what C said yesterday, like it's not
4:44
Speaker 5: a long term decision. Sure, like it's to win one game,
4:49
Speaker 5: get a little bit over the hump. You haven't made
4:50
Speaker 5: it over, but you're not really gonna win you know,
4:53
Speaker 5: four super Bowls in the upcoming decade with Mike McCarthy, Well.
4:58
Speaker 2: If he gets you one, you're happy though, right, I
5:00
Speaker 2: mean they that so everybody, not everybody. It looked like
5:06
Speaker 2: they were gonna go after you know what the Bills
5:08
Speaker 2: did with a coordinator higher, maybe somebody a little younger,
5:11
Speaker 2: like like Joe Brady, which I think Brady and then
5:16
Speaker 2: Jesse Mentor who's the Ravens new head coach. Those are
5:18
Speaker 2: the only two. I don't know how old Jeff Hafley is,
5:22
Speaker 2: But those two I know are pretty new to being
5:26
Speaker 2: a head coach. The rest of the hires so far
5:29
Speaker 2: this year Steelers Mike McCarthy, Giants getting darn Harball obviously
5:34
Speaker 2: a proven coach. It'll be really interesting to see what
5:37
Speaker 2: he can do on a new team with.
5:39
Speaker 5: Jackson, Dark Camp, Scotti, bow Eliite neighbors.
5:41
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I'm excited that one's gonna be. I am
5:44
Speaker 2: very very interested in that one for sure.
5:46
Speaker 6: Well, him and McCarthy and uh, what's his name just
5:51
Speaker 6: left my mind?
5:52
Speaker 2: Which team? Aaron Rodgers? Yeah, yeah, I mean they had
5:57
Speaker 2: a lot of success in Green Bay. Yes, And McCarthy
6:00
Speaker 2: has said publicly, I think in his introductory press conference
6:03
Speaker 2: he yeah. He was asked if he would like Rogers
6:06
Speaker 2: to return, and he said, definitely. Don't see why you wouldn't.
6:10
Speaker 2: So as long as their relationships still intact, that should
6:15
Speaker 2: be an interesting dynamic to see how that goes. The
6:19
Speaker 2: Bills defensive coordinator Hunt, they're looking at Broncos defensive pass
6:24
Speaker 2: coordinator Jim Leonard, who I mean, the Broncos have had
6:27
Speaker 2: one of the best defense in the league this year,
6:29
Speaker 2: So if they get him, I think that's pretty solid higher.
6:31
Speaker 2: I saw some people joking around about them just hiring
6:33
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott to be the defensive coordinator, which would be hilarious,
6:37
Speaker 2: But I don't think that's gonna happen, at least not
6:39
Speaker 2: this year. The Broncos have actually done that vance Joseph
6:43
Speaker 2: who I believe is a Broncos defensive coordinator right now.
6:47
Speaker 2: He was the Broncos head coach like five years ago.
6:50
Speaker 2: So it has happened, but I don't think it's an
6:52
Speaker 2: immediate thing. I think that's gonna have to be a
6:54
Speaker 2: cool year heels a little bit before you just jump
6:58
Speaker 2: back in. I mean, I think there's probably a it's
7:00
Speaker 2: a little bit of animosity between McDermott and the Bills.
7:03
Speaker 2: I mean, I know he didn't want to.
7:04
Speaker 7: Leave im, so yeah, I just feel like, I know,
7:11
Speaker 7: the Broncos had a really good defense this year, and
7:14
Speaker 7: you know, if they had bonicks, you could.
7:16
Speaker 5: Argue they would have gone to the super Bowl. But
7:19
Speaker 5: some of these hires where you go after a guy
7:21
Speaker 5: who you know, this is their one good year in
7:24
Speaker 5: the past, like you know, X amount of years. Yeah,
7:27
Speaker 5: I it kind of makes sense. I get it, but
7:30
Speaker 5: it's kind of like Halen de Boor, like Washington was
7:33
Speaker 5: alright for a while, and then he had the one
7:36
Speaker 5: year runner up with the CFP, and then Alabama's like,
7:40
Speaker 5: all right, let's go get them, which you know, I
7:42
Speaker 5: see it, I get it, Like they're good right now.
7:45
Speaker 5: Take a chance on them, and they might be up
7:47
Speaker 5: and coming. But you know, if they only have one
7:49
Speaker 5: good year under their belt, what's making you think all
7:52
Speaker 5: of a sudden they're gonna build this ten year long franchise.
7:55
Speaker 2: That's true, I mean, that's usually how it goes, though,
7:58
Speaker 2: Like almost all all you got the teams that are
8:01
Speaker 2: desperate for a coach take a gamble like that. Sometimes
8:05
Speaker 2: it pays off, sometimes it doesn't it there's no there's
8:09
Speaker 2: no sure thing in sports. They're really just is never
8:13
Speaker 2: a sure thing. I mean, I know this is going
8:16
Speaker 2: to be painful for all of us, but Texas and
8:18
Speaker 2: and baseball was ranked number one in the preseason last
8:21
Speaker 2: year and didn't make the tournament. So there's no sure
8:23
Speaker 2: thing in sports. You can't count on anything.
8:27
Speaker 6: No, definitely not. I mean I've seen some of the
8:29
Speaker 6: best groups and teams that I mean, even look at
8:32
Speaker 6: Aggie softball last year too. We were ranked first going
8:35
Speaker 6: into the whole thing and lost.
8:36
Speaker 5: In Round one.
8:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happened to us twice one year. Isn't that crazy? Huh?
8:39
Speaker 2: So you almost like a cursed or something.
8:41
Speaker 6: Well what to expect? I mean, also, I was banking
8:43
Speaker 6: on the Bills to make it all the way to
8:45
Speaker 6: the end, just because Josh Allen had a clear path
8:48
Speaker 6: to make it.
8:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no Mahomes you think that, you think you'd
8:50
Speaker 2: do something.
8:51
Speaker 6: And it's just I'm just like, man, I really wanted
8:53
Speaker 6: the Bills to actually get one this year.
8:54
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah.
8:56
Speaker 5: I'm still on the Joe Burrow train. I think if
8:58
Speaker 5: he's if he's.
8:59
Speaker 6: Healthy, I think he needs to get out of Cincinnati.
9:02
Speaker 2: Right, I completely agree. It's I understand why the Bengals
9:07
Speaker 2: didn't fire Zach Taylor because everybody fired their coach this year. Like,
9:12
Speaker 2: I think a third of the league almost fired their
9:15
Speaker 2: coach this year, which is insane. So I get not
9:20
Speaker 2: wanting to look for somebody in this cycle. I mean,
9:23
Speaker 2: the same thing happened in college football this year. A
9:25
Speaker 2: lot of people got fired. I think this might be
9:27
Speaker 2: the craziest coaching carousel we've had in a football season.
9:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, me think that LSU's coach got fired, Florida got
9:33
Speaker 6: fired Arkansas.
9:34
Speaker 2: James Franklin at the beginning of the year.
9:36
Speaker 6: Yes.
9:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, the amount of coaching turnover in the NFL and
9:40
Speaker 2: college football has been insane. And it's not over. The NFL.
9:44
Speaker 2: There's still three open spots Browns, Cardinals, and Raiders. One
9:49
Speaker 2: of the guys that was in contention for the Bills
9:51
Speaker 2: head coaching spot, a lot of people seemed like he
9:54
Speaker 2: was one of the favorites, Brian Dayball. He has reportedly
10:01
Speaker 2: he's going to be the offensive coordinator for the Titans,
10:06
Speaker 2: contingent upon him not getting the Raiders head coaching job.
10:09
Speaker 5: Yeah. I saw that, like he'll take the job unless
10:12
Speaker 5: he gets a job.
10:13
Speaker 2: Which is always I mean, I know that's kind of
10:15
Speaker 2: how it goes, but it's always weird to see that happen.
10:17
Speaker 2: Same thing happened happened with Mike McDaniel. He was hired
10:20
Speaker 2: as the Chargers offensive court Later, Yeah, that's gonna be
10:24
Speaker 2: him and Harball together is going to be Yin and Yang,
10:27
Speaker 2: Like that's going to be interesting. But for a while
10:30
Speaker 2: there there were reports saying that he could He also
10:32
Speaker 2: was in the contention for the Oakland or Not the
10:35
Speaker 2: Oakland job, the Las Vegas job. Nobody plays in Oakland anymore.
10:39
Speaker 2: It's kind of sad. But yeah, then they actually signed McDaniel,
10:43
Speaker 2: so he's he's in La. Dave Ball apparently is still
10:47
Speaker 2: in contention for the Raiders gig. I think he completed
10:50
Speaker 2: an interview with them yesterday, is what I saw from
10:53
Speaker 2: schefter or No, that was today, that was this morning.
10:56
Speaker 2: That was their second interview with him. So day Ball
10:59
Speaker 2: looking like one of the favorites for the Raiders job.
11:02
Speaker 2: And then I feel bad for whoever the Browns hire.
11:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I used to like the Browns, but it's
11:10
Speaker 6: one of their one of those franchises where it's like,
11:12
Speaker 6: you get there, you've got to be ready to just
11:15
Speaker 6: start in the trenches.
11:16
Speaker 2: Well, Stefanski did a really good job until they traded
11:19
Speaker 2: Baker exactly. I think I think Stefanski on the Falcons,
11:22
Speaker 2: he might The NFC South is always pretty winnable, so
11:26
Speaker 2: I think they could compete pretty quickly. I think I
11:29
Speaker 2: think he's a good year.
11:31
Speaker 5: That'll be exciting.
11:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be that'll be really interesting for sure.
11:34
Speaker 6: But I also feel like that you know the Dolphins
11:35
Speaker 6: new head coach, you should go to the Dolphins. That's
11:38
Speaker 6: an ugly team you're gonna have to figure out how
11:40
Speaker 6: to fix.
11:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, Halfley definitely has his work cut out for him. Yes,
11:47
Speaker 2: who are even their stars anymore? Because Tyreek Hill is
11:49
Speaker 2: not the player he used to be.
11:50
Speaker 5: And like, is Tua gonna start or entire early like
11:54
Speaker 5: Andrew Luck?
11:55
Speaker 2: Well, I think they might be looking to take a
11:57
Speaker 2: quarterback maybe, but who do you even take?
12:01
Speaker 5: Fernando's going to go to Oakland obviously, so you did
12:04
Speaker 5: it too, Las Vegas. Wait, I messed that up? Yeah Vegas?
12:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, well the one to one Vegas is going to
12:11
Speaker 2: take a quarterback. They don't have a quarterback. They have
12:13
Speaker 2: Agan O'Connell and you know Smith as the next QB Serson.
12:16
Speaker 6: I don't think he's going to get picked in the
12:18
Speaker 6: draft as high as everyone thinks he's going on.
12:20
Speaker 2: Well, who else? Who's the other quarterback?
12:22
Speaker 5: You know? Other options? Like is Carson Beck going to
12:24
Speaker 5: the draft?
12:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to the draft. I don't know what
12:27
Speaker 2: is he getting drafted? So this mic draft database that
12:31
Speaker 2: I'm looking at here, I think it's Yeah, so it's
12:34
Speaker 2: a consensus big board, which has data from multiple sources.
12:39
Speaker 2: It says it uses rankings from eighty seven different boards,
12:42
Speaker 2: and the top five quarterbacks are Fernanda Mendoza to the
12:48
Speaker 2: Raiders who have the one one, Ty Simpson, and then
12:53
Speaker 2: if Trinidad Chambliss doesn't get you another year of eligibility,
12:56
Speaker 2: then I guess he's going to be in the draft.
12:58
Speaker 2: He's the third quarterback, and then Garrett Nesmeyer, Carson Beck,
13:04
Speaker 2: Drew Aller, and then I feel like it's a pretty
13:06
Speaker 2: big drop from there.
13:07
Speaker 6: Where's the five to nine?
13:09
Speaker 5: King?
13:10
Speaker 2: Uh Pavia is weed down on the list?
13:13
Speaker 6: I know, I know, I tried to make the joke
13:14
Speaker 6: because they came out.
13:15
Speaker 2: Is the tenth quarterback ranked on this system, behind Cole
13:20
Speaker 2: Peyton from North Dakota State who didn't even play the FBS.
13:23
Speaker 2: U Sawyer Robertson from Baylor's in there, Taylor Green from Arkansas,
13:27
Speaker 2: Kate Klubnick from Clemson, and then Haines King eleventh out
13:31
Speaker 2: of Georgia Tech. So it's definitely it's a pretty weak.
13:35
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Dante Moore's coming back that was announce a
13:37
Speaker 2: while back.
13:38
Speaker 5: I guess he's gone in for the first round pick.
13:41
Speaker 2: No, yeah, he's gonna I think he's probably gonna be
13:43
Speaker 2: in contention. For one to one next year.
13:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know it's all timing, like when you're wanting
13:49
Speaker 5: to go like Cowler, that kind of that kind of
13:51
Speaker 5: sucks for him.
13:51
Speaker 2: That Yeah, the injury, he's probably the same thing with
13:55
Speaker 2: mess Meyer, except ness Meyer just wasn't good. That didn't
13:58
Speaker 2: really have a whole lot to do with injury.
14:00
Speaker 5: Like I feel like if you don't know who you're
14:01
Speaker 5: gonna already hire. I know you have to go based
14:03
Speaker 5: on like your fans and what they think, but like,
14:07
Speaker 5: I don't get why you would fire somebody when you
14:10
Speaker 5: don't already know who you're gonna replace him with. Yeah,
14:12
Speaker 5: if you're firing Pete Carroll and hiring Brian Davile.
14:16
Speaker 2: Like okay, well Pete Carroll is not normal that Pete Carroll,
14:20
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
14:20
Speaker 5: Or like the Falcons, like you fired your coach but
14:24
Speaker 5: then hired the Browns head coach, Like are you really
14:27
Speaker 5: think it's gonna get that much better?
14:28
Speaker 2: Well, Stefanski has been the only guy in a long
14:31
Speaker 2: time to win anything with the Browns, So I mean,
14:35
Speaker 2: I think he probably should have left earlier, honestly if
14:37
Speaker 2: somebody offered him a job, because he's kind of he's
14:41
Speaker 2: kind of leaving it. You know, his stock is probably
14:44
Speaker 2: the lowest that it's going to be. But I mean,
14:47
Speaker 2: I think he's pretty solid coach and maybe you can
14:50
Speaker 2: attribute a lot of his success to Baker Mayfield, which
14:53
Speaker 2: is fair. But I think he's going to do well
14:57
Speaker 2: with the Falcons, mostly because there's not the stiffest competition
15:01
Speaker 2: in the NFC South, right, the Panthers might be good
15:04
Speaker 2: next year. The Panthers have been building. I think I
15:10
Speaker 2: just forgot his name. The head coach over there is
15:12
Speaker 2: really good, uh, and he's continued to developed Bryce Young,
15:18
Speaker 2: so they might be forced to be reckoned with I mean,
15:20
Speaker 2: they almost beat the Rams in the playoffs. Yep, that
15:25
Speaker 2: was that was a That was a really good game.
15:27
Speaker 2: And I did not think the Panthers were going to
15:28
Speaker 2: have a prayer in that one. They've been pretty solid
15:33
Speaker 2: and I can't remember what their coach's name is, and
15:35
Speaker 2: that's gonna bother me. But uh, the NFC South is
15:39
Speaker 2: always pretty mediocre, so Stefanski and the Falcons could compete
15:43
Speaker 2: in year one. It'll be interesting to see if they
15:46
Speaker 2: are gonna stick with Michael Poenix Junior for the long
15:48
Speaker 2: haul or if they're gonna go you know, try to
15:51
Speaker 2: get Ty Simpson or they still k Cousins. Well, Kirk
15:57
Speaker 2: Cousins is like thirty six.
15:58
Speaker 5: They've got to finish his deal.
16:00
Speaker 2: Thirty eight. I think he's thirty eight. Well, yeah, you
16:02
Speaker 2: can keep paying a guy. I don't mean you have
16:04
Speaker 2: to play him. But it's Fernando Mendoza. I mean, that's
16:09
Speaker 2: what we did with Jimbo.
16:12
Speaker 5: All right. We do have a text from Matt and CS.
16:16
Speaker 5: Matt in College Station. Uh, he says, neither the coach
16:20
Speaker 5: nor the QB are the same as they were in
16:22
Speaker 5: Green Bay. MacArthur, that's Rogers.
16:24
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
16:25
Speaker 5: That's so bad for Steelers fans, Louis, especially because he
16:28
Speaker 5: probably admits to being a Steelers fan.
16:30
Speaker 2: So to cease, yep, cease too.
16:32
Speaker 5: We've had a lot of Steelers.
16:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting that there's this as much Steelers fandom
16:37
Speaker 2: in College Station, Texas, which at least ceases from Pennsylvania.
16:41
Speaker 2: So that makes sense.
16:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody's talking about they're reunited, like this.
16:47
Speaker 2: Relationship is back together, but I think it might be
16:49
Speaker 2: good for a year. That's like, I think they'll.
16:51
Speaker 5: Lady and Belichick reunited at a new to that'd be
16:54
Speaker 5: a disaster.
16:54
Speaker 6: Well, well, you never know.
16:56
Speaker 2: They sure could maybe long game. The Raiders are hiring
17:01
Speaker 2: Belichick and Brady's going to be the quarterback. You heard
17:03
Speaker 2: it here first fall.
17:04
Speaker 6: I was just saying Brady went back to college football.
17:07
Speaker 6: Technically right now, he couldn't.
17:08
Speaker 2: Because I mean, Michigan doesn't have a coach right now.
17:11
Speaker 6: That's a good point. That's a good point.
17:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the legality of
17:15
Speaker 2: Brady playing for the Raiders would be though, I mean,
17:18
Speaker 2: does it matter if the owner is also on the team.
17:21
Speaker 6: I think there's a whole bunch of rules to say
17:23
Speaker 6: that he cannot play back in the NFL, but he
17:25
Speaker 6: could play college football.
17:27
Speaker 2: Really, yes, a.
17:28
Speaker 6: Better shot of being able to play again if you
17:30
Speaker 6: wanted to play in college football, if all of this
17:32
Speaker 6: were to get waved around and yeah done, than in
17:35
Speaker 6: the NFL.
17:36
Speaker 2: Interesting did not know that.
17:38
Speaker 6: I saw that and thought it was the funniest ARTICL
17:39
Speaker 6: eight ever read. I go, wow, that really puts things
17:41
Speaker 6: into perspective.
17:42
Speaker 2: No, the situation that college football and NFL is in
17:46
Speaker 2: right now, it's pretty bad. I was looking down a
17:50
Speaker 2: little farther on this list of quarterbacks in the draft,
17:53
Speaker 2: Gunner Stockton down for forty eight. I feel like he
17:55
Speaker 2: should be able to hire. I feel like if Stetsn
17:57
Speaker 2: Bennett got drafted in the third round or whatever it was,
17:59
Speaker 2: Gunstock Action should too.
18:00
Speaker 5: What round is for forty eight, I.
18:02
Speaker 2: Don't even know if that's in the draft.
18:06
Speaker 5: That's crazy, Like, yes, he might not have had that
18:10
Speaker 5: good of stats.
18:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that'd be like fourteenth round and they don't
18:13
Speaker 2: have that many.
18:13
Speaker 5: I don't think he was that bad.
18:15
Speaker 2: Like, I think he's pretty solid the playoffs, well, I
18:18
Speaker 2: mean he had a really good team, but I feel
18:21
Speaker 2: like he should be above the quarterback from Iowa.
18:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally.
18:24
Speaker 2: Which the quarterback from Iowa, Mark Gronowski is right below
18:28
Speaker 2: Haines King. That doesn't really make a whole lot of
18:30
Speaker 2: sense to me. Joey Aguilar is below the quarterback from Iowa,
18:34
Speaker 2: Joey Aguilar. I feel like it was pretty solid.
18:36
Speaker 6: It actually does shock me.
18:38
Speaker 2: Luke Altmeyer also below the guy from Illinois, Baron Morton
18:42
Speaker 2: from Tech. I mean, they all these guys were pretty good.
18:46
Speaker 2: But I guess being pretty good at Texas Tech on
18:51
Speaker 2: a team that was way better than everybody else they
18:53
Speaker 2: played most of that year, I guess that doesn't necessarily
18:56
Speaker 2: mean that much. Connor Wigman down at four to fifty nine.
18:58
Speaker 2: In case anybody was wondering.
19:00
Speaker 6: Wait, he's going into the draft.
19:02
Speaker 2: No, well, he's out of eligibility.
19:03
Speaker 6: I think I thought he had one word.
19:05
Speaker 5: He intends to return to the twenty twenty six college
19:08
Speaker 5: football season.
19:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so this board is wrong. Then Zach Calzada
19:14
Speaker 2: is the second to last quarterback listed on this board.
19:16
Speaker 2: I guess anybody was wondering he is out of eligibility.
19:21
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure who Calzada not? You don't remember.
19:26
Speaker 6: No, I can't remember if he is or not sitting
19:29
Speaker 6: or thinking.
19:29
Speaker 2: I'm like, I think he's probably out because he played
19:32
Speaker 2: two years here and then Incarnate Word Kentucky. Did he
19:38
Speaker 2: go straight to Kentucky from Incarnate Word? That's kind of
19:40
Speaker 2: an interesting jump.
19:42
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of the one former Aggie quarterback
19:45
Speaker 6: that is fixing going to his seventh year that topped
19:48
Speaker 6: around quite literally everywhere.
19:50
Speaker 1: Jacob No, no Zeno.
19:52
Speaker 6: Does he know as a Baylor before he came here?
19:54
Speaker 2: And then u AB you're talking about t Finley? Nope,
20:00
Speaker 2: because he is like in his ninth year or something
20:02
Speaker 2: in his Night's team. Maybe not exactly that, but a
20:05
Speaker 2: lot an Aggie quarterback he was.
20:10
Speaker 6: I don't think he started, but I think that it's.
20:13
Speaker 4: Not a.
20:15
Speaker 2: Eli Stours.
20:16
Speaker 6: Hold on, give me a second, I'm looking him up.
20:18
Speaker 2: Okay, good luck with that. Looking at the rest of
20:22
Speaker 2: this mock draft, we mentioned Mendoza at number one. That's
20:25
Speaker 2: pretty obvious. Oh Max Johnson, Yeah, I forgot about him.
20:30
Speaker 2: He did start for like five games for Brooke's thumb.
20:33
Speaker 5: Remember the first game at North Carolina against Minnesota.
20:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, he broke his leg or something pretty bad. Yeah,
20:40
Speaker 2: he was out. I think he was out for most
20:41
Speaker 2: of the year that He's had pretty bad injury luck.
20:45
Speaker 2: I always thought he was decent. He just never he
20:47
Speaker 2: had that one year at LSU where he was fully
20:49
Speaker 2: healthy that he played really well and beat us. But
20:53
Speaker 2: other than that, he hasn't. I don't think he's had
20:55
Speaker 2: a year where he's been one hundred and able to
21:00
Speaker 2: show what he can do. And I think without all
21:02
Speaker 2: those injuries, he would probably be a pretty interesting prospect.
21:04
Speaker 5: Does anybody remember Jalen Henderson.
21:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I loves Virginia. Now, is he gonna play this
21:09
Speaker 2: year Virginia? Because I know this year he was on
21:14
Speaker 2: the team, But I think he was hurt for most
21:17
Speaker 2: of it. He's another guy that has had pretty bad
21:21
Speaker 2: injury luck, but that's just how it goes active. So
21:26
Speaker 2: he is going to play again this year.
21:28
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's a starter.
21:29
Speaker 2: Well, I know he didn't start. But anyway, I think
21:34
Speaker 2: we're going to take another quick break five twenty one.

Speaker 10: Listen in eleven on the Zone The.
24:10
Speaker 2: Zone eleven fifty ninety three point seven FM, Chip Howard's
24:15
Speaker 2: Sports Talk. Caleb Rapley here filling in for Chip on
24:19
Speaker 2: this Tuesday alongside Riley and Trey, and we're gonna do
24:26
Speaker 2: a little baseball talk. I know I'm the only one
24:28
Speaker 2: here that is a big MLB guy, but it's okay.
24:32
Speaker 2: Today I'm the host and I get to decide what
24:34
Speaker 2: we talk about.
24:34
Speaker 5: I don't really watch the regular season, like there's so
24:37
Speaker 5: many games.
24:38
Speaker 2: That's fair, you know. You know, I know those.
24:39
Speaker 5: Guys who are very die hard for their team and
24:42
Speaker 5: they watch every single game. Yeah, I just feel like
24:45
Speaker 5: every single game doesn't really matter that much in the
24:47
Speaker 5: grand scheme of things, So why am I going to
24:49
Speaker 5: watch every single pitch all year?
24:52
Speaker 2: Gen Z?
24:54
Speaker 5: Gen Z same with the NBA.
24:56
Speaker 6: So for me, watching Texas Rangers lose and just not
24:59
Speaker 6: have a.
24:59
Speaker 2: Good season, well, that's because your team's bad. Like that's
25:02
Speaker 2: that's not my fault. Who are you a fan of Astros?
25:05
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, obviously.
25:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, I will. I'll have you know. I'm
25:11
Speaker 2: in the majority on this one. Because Louis is also
25:14
Speaker 2: an Astros fan.
25:15
Speaker 6: I know I don't have much chips and this is
25:18
Speaker 6: Chips show.
25:19
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Yeah, I guess I am.
25:21
Speaker 6: They're cheating, can we not?
25:24
Speaker 2: You don't want to? I mean we can. I can
25:26
Speaker 2: ran about that for the rest of the show if
25:27
Speaker 2: you want me to, Like, I could fill the final
25:31
Speaker 2: thirty five minutes about about that, but I'm not going
25:34
Speaker 2: to do that today because I want to. I want
25:36
Speaker 2: to have a good time on the show. You don't
25:38
Speaker 2: want to hear me? And Caleb So came out recently
25:42
Speaker 2: that a couple speaking to the Astros, Jose Altuve and
25:44
Speaker 2: Carlos Korea, will both not be participating in the World
25:48
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic. I saw that, which I'm happy about. Al
25:54
Speaker 2: had an injury in twenty twenty three in the WBC.
25:57
Speaker 2: He missed about eight weeks of the season. He got
26:00
Speaker 2: a fractured thumb.
26:01
Speaker 5: Ok.
26:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm especially with these two players that you know,
26:06
Speaker 2: have are a little farther along in their career. I'm
26:11
Speaker 2: happy about them sitting out.
26:15
Speaker 6: Not risking those by the injury.
26:17
Speaker 5: Yeah.
26:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with the Astros having so many injuries in
26:20
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, we can't afford to have anybody else
26:23
Speaker 2: go down. So it is sad that we won't get
26:28
Speaker 2: to see al Twov play for his country because that's
26:29
Speaker 2: always a lot of fun. But I am glad that
26:32
Speaker 2: he's not going to be taking the risk of getting hurt.
26:35
Speaker 11: Uh.
26:35
Speaker 2: And he had a procedure actually over the offseason on
26:38
Speaker 2: his right foot, so he's already not one hundred percent
26:42
Speaker 2: And so they did And also they didn't get insurance
26:45
Speaker 2: on their contracts for the event, so his their salaries
26:48
Speaker 2: would be at risk if they got hurt, so definitely
26:51
Speaker 2: makes sense to not not take that chance. We got
26:57
Speaker 2: some free agent signings that have been going down recently.
27:00
Speaker 2: The Giants went and got Harrison Bader on a two
27:04
Speaker 2: year deal for twenty point five million dollars. He's one
27:09
Speaker 2: of the best defensive outfielders in the league, I would say,
27:15
Speaker 2: and the Giants. The Giants off outfield defense, I mean,
27:19
Speaker 2: I can't talk, has been pretty rough over the last
27:22
Speaker 2: few years. They were tied for the worst outs above
27:27
Speaker 2: average in twenty twenty five, tied with Baltimore. So it
27:31
Speaker 2: was a priority for them to improve that, and Bater
27:34
Speaker 2: definitely does that. He is a Gold Glove winner back
27:36
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one and he will probably be there everyday.
27:40
Speaker 2: Center Fielder Jung Hu Lee, who was their center fielder
27:44
Speaker 2: last year, probably going to move over to Wright has
27:47
Speaker 2: a pretty good arm, but not great range, so that's
27:49
Speaker 2: a better fit for him. Anyway. Bad was on the
27:53
Speaker 2: Twins and Phillies last year, hit two seventy seven with
27:56
Speaker 2: seventeen homers fifty four RBIs, which is pretty solid for
27:59
Speaker 2: a guy that it's a defensive first type of player.
28:03
Speaker 2: Uh spent most of his career before that with the Cardinals.
28:06
Speaker 2: That's how I remember him. That's I always think of
28:08
Speaker 2: him as a Cardinal, but he's played for six different
28:11
Speaker 2: teams since twenty seventeen. He's kind of been one of
28:12
Speaker 2: those guys that bounced around. But pretty good signing for them.
28:17
Speaker 6: And then I have one question though for you with Astros,
28:20
Speaker 6: do you think in this offseason so far they're going
28:23
Speaker 6: to fix their bullpen issue that they have had?
28:26
Speaker 2: Well, the issue is the bullpen was not the problem.
28:31
Speaker 2: The bullpen was the only was a little bit Well,
28:34
Speaker 2: I mean it can't not everything can't be great for
28:36
Speaker 2: the whole season. The bullpen is kind of the least
28:39
Speaker 2: of my worries right now. My main concern is starting
28:42
Speaker 2: pitchers because we had probably twelve different guys start games
28:48
Speaker 2: last year something crazy. The only like the top two
28:52
Speaker 2: I feel really good about Hunter Brown, Christian Xavier great
28:56
Speaker 2: like fully fully confident in them. And then and then
29:01
Speaker 2: we got the guy from Japan, Tatsuya i Ma, who
29:05
Speaker 2: was really good with in uh the NPB overseas. We'll look,
29:13
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see how he does in the MLB.
29:15
Speaker 2: But there's been a lot of Japanese pitchers come over
29:18
Speaker 2: and have great success, like sho Hey and Yamamoto. Uh
29:23
Speaker 2: Sasaki hasn't. I mean, he's been fine. I don't know
29:26
Speaker 2: if i'd say he's a great success, but he's been fine.
29:29
Speaker 2: And one thing I love about Eme, the guy the
29:32
Speaker 2: Astros got, is when they were he was being asked,
29:36
Speaker 2: you know, before he had signed if he would be
29:39
Speaker 2: interested in going to the Dodgers, and he said that
29:41
Speaker 2: it would be fun to uh, you know, play with
29:45
Speaker 2: some players from his home country, but he would rather
29:49
Speaker 2: beat them.
29:49
Speaker 5: He could probably you know, ban some games and win
29:52
Speaker 5: over there too.
29:52
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, chill up. We don't need to get
29:55
Speaker 2: into the whole show a gambling thing that that's that's
29:58
Speaker 2: your old news. That kind of controversial. But I like
30:03
Speaker 2: that attitude from e May. You know, he wants to
30:05
Speaker 2: win and having a big bad like the Dodgers that
30:09
Speaker 2: go spend all the money, sign all the players and
30:12
Speaker 2: are the clear favorite. It's always fun when there's a
30:15
Speaker 2: player that wants to embrace that underdog role. So I'm
30:18
Speaker 2: pretty excited to see that, see what he can do.
30:21
Speaker 2: He's twenty seven years old, a lot of career in
30:24
Speaker 2: front of him if he adjusts quickly. And then right now,
30:27
Speaker 2: our starting pitcher number four projected as Lance mccollor's, which
30:32
Speaker 2: is scary because he hasn't had a fully healthy season
30:34
Speaker 2: in like eight years, and he's he was great when
30:39
Speaker 2: he was healthy back in the good playoff runs of seventeen,
30:42
Speaker 2: eighteen and nineteen, but he just hasn't been able to
30:45
Speaker 2: put a season together since then, and I don't really
30:48
Speaker 2: trust him anymore, unfortunately. And then after that, it's two
30:52
Speaker 2: minor league guys, Mike Burrows and Ryan Weiss. Mike Burrows
30:56
Speaker 2: came over in the trade with Pittsburgh earlier this offseason.
31:00
Speaker 2: And you know, last time the Astros traded for a
31:02
Speaker 2: right handed starting pitcher from Pittsburgh, it was Garrett Cole,
31:06
Speaker 2: So maybe that'll happen again. That'd be pretty cool, But
31:08
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure what to expect from him. He's
31:11
Speaker 2: hasn't had a whole lot of MLB playing time. I mean,
31:15
Speaker 2: ninety six innings last year and three ninety four e
31:18
Speaker 2: ra is pretty solid, But we'll see how he adjusts
31:21
Speaker 2: to being the American League. You know, the lineups and
31:25
Speaker 2: Nail West are all pretty solid, so it should be
31:27
Speaker 2: some interesting competition. But again with your question about the bullpen,
31:32
Speaker 2: I'm not really too worried about the bullpen.
31:34
Speaker 6: Like you know, we had, y'all have not we y'all
31:37
Speaker 6: had a bunch of injury that.
31:38
Speaker 2: Kind of called he had a lot of injuries. Yeah, no, yeah, injuries,
31:43
Speaker 2: injuries called Bok injuries caused a lot of issues. And
31:47
Speaker 2: I think you know, priord of what you were talking
31:48
Speaker 2: about with the bullpen was when the starters were all
31:52
Speaker 2: hurt and the ones that were healthy only went five innings,
31:55
Speaker 2: the bullpen got tired. Like, there's not really a whole
31:57
Speaker 2: lot we could do about that. But Hater was really
32:00
Speaker 2: good closing games for us last year when you know,
32:03
Speaker 2: until he went out for the season, which was when
32:07
Speaker 2: I knew we weren't going to make the playoffs or
32:08
Speaker 2: do anything. Was when Peter got hurt. Because he was
32:10
Speaker 2: the only thing holding this together. He was great and
32:16
Speaker 2: by Ryan and Bray was also great to to a
32:18
Speaker 2: er a for him. So I think the bullpen will
32:21
Speaker 2: be fine. Got some new additions, Nate Pearson coming over,
32:25
Speaker 2: who has been one of those guys kind of like
32:27
Speaker 2: Forced Whitley with the Astros, one of those guys that
32:32
Speaker 2: big prospect never fully put it together. I mean he
32:34
Speaker 2: was with the coming up with the Blue Jays, Pearson
32:37
Speaker 2: was a really big deal, never really got it going completely,
32:42
Speaker 2: but he's had four years in MLB now a little
32:44
Speaker 2: more experienced. And the Astros have been pretty good at
32:47
Speaker 2: taking some pitchers that, you know, maybe not living up
32:50
Speaker 2: to their full potential and kind of starting to realize
32:52
Speaker 2: more of that once they get over here. My main
32:55
Speaker 2: concern with the pitching staff, other than those things already said,
32:58
Speaker 2: was that we don't have any lefty starters, which isn't
33:01
Speaker 2: you know, great for throwing off the other team's lineup.
33:04
Speaker 2: All six the top six of our starters are all
33:07
Speaker 2: right handed, and I don't I don't think we would
33:10
Speaker 2: have any lefties coming up in the minor leagues. Brandon
33:13
Speaker 2: Walter is a left handed pitcher who's out with Tommy
33:15
Speaker 2: John and I think he's gonna miss the entire season.
33:19
Speaker 2: We might get Ronel Blanco and Hayden west Nesky back
33:23
Speaker 2: during the season. They both got Tommy John last summer,
33:27
Speaker 2: so maybe maybe if we make it the postseason, we
33:29
Speaker 2: could have them. And west Nesky was one of those
33:31
Speaker 2: guys that I was pretty excited about when we traded
33:33
Speaker 2: for him. He came over in the Tucker trade, but
33:38
Speaker 2: not didn't get much time to show what he can do.
33:43
Speaker 2: And I guess this is just me looking at the
33:45
Speaker 2: Astros roster and telling you how it feel about it,
33:47
Speaker 2: because that's what's this, what the segment has turned into.
33:49
Speaker 2: So while I'm at it, I guess I'll talk about
33:51
Speaker 2: the hitters. Panya at shortstop is locked down, same with
33:55
Speaker 2: Korea at third That's probably the best left side of
33:59
Speaker 2: the endfield in the league defensively, and having Korea play
34:05
Speaker 2: third base is kind of unfair, honestly, because he's such
34:08
Speaker 2: a good shortstop. Playing third is really easy for him,
34:10
Speaker 2: not having to cover as much ground, so defensively, I
34:13
Speaker 2: think it's going to be great with Korea at third,
34:17
Speaker 2: Panette short Christian Walker at first, Diaz has been solid
34:21
Speaker 2: behind the plate, and then Jake Myers in center field.
34:23
Speaker 2: If he's the everyday guy he's he's going to be great.
34:27
Speaker 2: I'm interested to see what's gonna happen with Esstock Perettis
34:31
Speaker 2: with Korea and Walker taking up the corner endfield and
34:34
Speaker 2: Altwove is probably gonna be playing second most of the time.
34:37
Speaker 2: Not a whole lot of at bats for Peretis right now,
34:41
Speaker 2: looks like so they are looking at trading him for
34:43
Speaker 2: maybe a pitcher or an outfielder, which I would be
34:45
Speaker 2: fine with either of those, but I mean, he's a
34:48
Speaker 2: great player, was one of our best hitters, most consistent
34:52
Speaker 2: hitters last year, So definitely definitely an interesting season coming up.
34:58
Speaker 2: The outfield is going to be pretty big question mark.
35:02
Speaker 2: Jesus Sanchez and Zach Cole are the other two starting
35:06
Speaker 2: outfielders as of now according to Fangrafts, and then Cam
35:11
Speaker 2: Smith coming off the bench, probably maybe a platoon roles.
35:15
Speaker 2: He's you know, right handed hitter, he might only face lefties.
35:18
Speaker 2: And he's still really young. I mean he's gonna be
35:21
Speaker 2: twenty three this year. Came up from like I think,
35:26
Speaker 2: twenty games in the miners, getting drafted from Florida State
35:29
Speaker 2: and then me almost immediately called up to the big leagues.
35:32
Speaker 2: So we'll see what he can do. But uh, yeah,
35:35
Speaker 2: I'm excited. So thanks for letting me talk about the
35:37
Speaker 2: Astros fifteen minutes.
35:38
Speaker 5: Here's my question to you. You know, all these stats, analytics,
35:42
Speaker 5: discussions about the MLB, But is all of this just
35:47
Speaker 5: for the Dodgers to win at the end? You know?
35:50
Speaker 5: Is that and we'll see, Like I don't, okay, like
35:52
Speaker 5: what a billion dollars.
35:54
Speaker 2: It's I think more than that, honestly.
35:56
Speaker 5: Like they've won last year.
35:59
Speaker 2: They've won back to by So like the thing about.
36:02
Speaker 5: The Dodgers right now, and it doesn't really matter.
36:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, they keep they have been collecting Infinity stones for sure.
36:09
Speaker 2: I mean they just added Kyle Tucker. Like, you know,
36:11
Speaker 2: they're the Patriots, They're who the chiefs not really see
36:15
Speaker 2: the Patriots. When the Patriots were good, it wasn't because
36:18
Speaker 2: they were signing the biggest free agents every year it
36:20
Speaker 2: was because Bill Belichick knew what he wanted to do
36:23
Speaker 2: and he had Tom Brady.
36:25
Speaker 5: Right, So this is like the old school Warriors or
36:28
Speaker 5: like the God yeah, the Warriors.
36:30
Speaker 2: That's that's a good analogy for when they had Katie the.
36:32
Speaker 5: Year we knew it was going to be Golden State
36:35
Speaker 5: versus Cleveland. Yeah, back in the twenty tens.
36:39
Speaker 2: That was so long ago.
36:41
Speaker 5: Like now, there's gonna be the Dodgers every year, and
36:44
Speaker 5: it's okay, who in the AL is going to lose
36:46
Speaker 5: the Dodgers this year?
36:47
Speaker 2: I mean everybody probably. I don't. The Dodgers are gonna
36:52
Speaker 2: be good obviously, But the thing about baseball is that
36:55
Speaker 2: even if you're the better team by a lot, there's
36:57
Speaker 2: still a chance that you could lose. Like the Yankees
37:00
Speaker 2: didn't win every World Series when they were the team
37:03
Speaker 2: to beat. Baseball is a crazy sport. You can't guarantee.
37:08
Speaker 2: You can't guarantee you win. You can I would say
37:11
Speaker 2: that you can guarantee a win in football more than
37:15
Speaker 2: you can in baseball, just because there's so many variables
37:19
Speaker 2: with baseball, with there being you know, so many more games.
37:23
Speaker 2: It's it's just you never can't tell. But the Dodgers
37:25
Speaker 2: are definitely in the best position by far of any
37:28
Speaker 2: team out there. I mean, they replaced Michael Conforida with
37:31
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker. That's it. It's not fair. It's not fair. Honestly,
37:37
Speaker 2: I think all you, all the other owners gotta Lee
37:41
Speaker 2: need to just you know, man up and start spending
37:44
Speaker 2: some money. But they don't want to. They want the
37:47
Speaker 2: They want the rules to bail them out and have
37:50
Speaker 2: to put a salary cap on it, which is going
37:52
Speaker 2: to basically pretty much force a lockout at the beginning
37:55
Speaker 2: of next year when the CBA expires, and all the
37:57
Speaker 2: players are going to say, no, we don't want a
37:59
Speaker 2: salary cap up, but all the owners are going to
38:01
Speaker 2: be fighting for that. So we might not have baseball
38:03
Speaker 2: all next year, which is gonna suck, but you know,
38:06
Speaker 2: that's professional sports. On a little bit of a lighter note,
38:11
Speaker 2: one other baseball thing I want to talk about real quick.
38:15
Speaker 2: George Soriano and Jose Suarez, a pair of release pitchers
38:20
Speaker 2: that are both kind of fringe MLB guys. They've had
38:23
Speaker 2: some pretty interesting exchanges this year. So in November, Baltimore
38:29
Speaker 2: claimed Soriano off the waivers from Miami. Very beginning of January.
38:35
Speaker 2: They cut him, and then they claimed they cut him.
38:40
Speaker 2: The Braves claimed him. The Orioles claimed Suarez, who the
38:45
Speaker 2: Braves had just cut a week later, which was the
38:50
Speaker 2: twenty second, five days ago. The Orioles cut Suarez and
38:54
Speaker 2: the Braves picked him back up and then cut Soriano.
38:58
Speaker 2: What It's always really funny to watch what happens in
39:03
Speaker 2: MLB off season with random relief pictures, because it's almost
39:06
Speaker 2: always the random relief pictures that get cut and dropped
39:09
Speaker 2: and traded and picked up off waivers and designated for assignment,
39:13
Speaker 2: and it's just back and forth and back and forth,
39:14
Speaker 2: and you never really know where they're going to end up.
39:17
Speaker 2: And it's just one of my favorite things about baseball
39:19
Speaker 2: is the stupid, the stupid transactions that happen in the
39:23
Speaker 2: boring hot stove time from November to January. That's going
39:27
Speaker 2: to take us into our next break. I know everybody
39:29
Speaker 2: has really been enjoying listening to me yap about the
39:32
Speaker 2: Astros and MLB and apparently nobody cares, but whatever, today's

41:30
Speaker 2: We have to we have, we have Riley, you said
41:32
Speaker 2: you had some topics you wanted to get go in here.
41:35
Speaker 6: So Kurt Sinnetti's game worn headset for twenty twenty five
41:39
Speaker 6: national Championships where obviously Indiana one, is now up for auction.
41:44
Speaker 2: See this is the kind of thing that only happens
41:47
Speaker 2: in college football. This is why it's the best sport
41:49
Speaker 2: in the world.
41:49
Speaker 6: It's for nil purposes, is what it says.
41:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you know how much money they're gonna make
41:54
Speaker 2: off that me? Neither a lot?
41:56
Speaker 5: Though. Does it tell you where it's up for auction?
41:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a website.
41:58
Speaker 5: This seems like the kind of thing where like it's
42:01
Speaker 5: up for auction, like at a local church festival like
42:04
Speaker 5: in Bloomington.
42:05
Speaker 2: You would think that, but it's college football. This is
42:08
Speaker 2: probably gonna sell a million.
42:09
Speaker 5: Growing up, like Alex Caruso's shoes when he was like
42:12
Speaker 5: still in the g reallygue would be signed and up
42:14
Speaker 5: for auction, where you know, like Alex Russo wasn't a
42:18
Speaker 5: big deal in the NBA yet, Like this seems like
42:20
Speaker 5: that kind of thing, Like we'd have Kevin someone signed headsets.
42:23
Speaker 5: But he won a championship.
42:25
Speaker 2: Though, so no, he definitely did not want to different.
42:28
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find the website because I saw it earlier.
42:31
Speaker 6: The current bid as of Tuesday today at twelve thirty
42:36
Speaker 6: pm was eleven ten dollars. Wow, I thought it'd be
42:42
Speaker 6: worth way more than that.
42:44
Speaker 2: So it's on what's the website? I saw the website earlier.
42:47
Speaker 2: Now I can't find it. There's thirteen days left in
42:50
Speaker 2: the auction, is what I'm seeing here. So you know what,
42:55
Speaker 2: let's setting over under. I'm gonna I'm gonna set the
42:57
Speaker 2: over under at m M. Let's go fifty thousand.
43:03
Speaker 5: Already know it? Right?
43:05
Speaker 2: No, Like what it's gonna end up being in thirteen days.
43:07
Speaker 2: There's thirteen days left. Do you think it's gonna be
43:09
Speaker 2: over fifty right now? It's at like eleven right now
43:12
Speaker 2: it's said it's at.
43:13
Speaker 6: Eleven and ten dollars.
43:16
Speaker 5: I don't. I think under fifty really?
43:18
Speaker 6: Well, it just the auction just opened up within the
43:21
Speaker 6: last day or so, and I think that the headlines
43:23
Speaker 6: for it have not really taken off yet. And I
43:25
Speaker 6: think today is where it started to kind of just okay, break,
43:28
Speaker 6: I think.
43:28
Speaker 5: A ball would be higher. So like his headset.
43:31
Speaker 2: How about Mark Cuban buys it for a quarter million dollars.
43:35
Speaker 2: I did see it. I could see it too.
43:37
Speaker 5: Indiana fans are loyal.
43:39
Speaker 2: Well, they got some big donors, yep. Or I think
43:43
Speaker 2: now that they're good again, I think, you know, the
43:45
Speaker 2: donors that are there are going to start donating a
43:48
Speaker 2: lot of money because they have Mark Cuman, Mark Cubans
43:50
Speaker 2: and alumni. He has a lot of money. He's probably
43:52
Speaker 2: gonna end up buying this. That's my that's my official prediction.
43:55
Speaker 6: He was so excited on the sideline when he got
43:57
Speaker 6: to stand out there with them in the National Championship.
44:00
Speaker 6: I'm like, bro.
44:02
Speaker 2: Well, he wanted to do with the MAVs, but that
44:03
Speaker 2: didn't work out.
44:05
Speaker 6: That's what happens when you get rid of Luca.
44:09
Speaker 2: That was That was a whole other thing that we're
44:12
Speaker 2: not going to talk about today because I've been told
44:15
Speaker 2: we don't talk about NBA on this show.
44:16
Speaker 5: We haba on this show.
44:18
Speaker 2: That's that's what it sounds like. Other college football stuff.
44:23
Speaker 2: On three release, they're way too early All American list
44:27
Speaker 2: some interesting names here. We've got Trinidad Chambliss first team
44:30
Speaker 2: quarterback if he even plays, so that's already a big
44:35
Speaker 2: question mark. Uh, there's a few guys from Texas on here.
44:40
Speaker 2: No Aggie's on the first team, which I think is
44:44
Speaker 2: a pretty big miss. There are a couple Aggies on
44:47
Speaker 2: the second team, or it's just one Aggie on the
44:49
Speaker 2: second team for defense safety Marcus Ratliff, and I feel
44:55
Speaker 2: like you're missing some big names here. Mario Krager's right there.
44:57
Speaker 6: I was like, I thought Mario Craber was on there,
44:59
Speaker 6: but maybe not.
45:00
Speaker 2: No, not on three might have been a different website
45:02
Speaker 2: I'm looking at. Just on three's way too early All Americans.
45:05
Speaker 2: They're different. Their second team quarterback Julian Sayin from Ohio
45:10
Speaker 2: State who might end up being one of those guys
45:13
Speaker 2: that is going to be a first round quarterback next year.
45:17
Speaker 2: I thought he did really good at Ohio State, especially
45:20
Speaker 2: since it was his first year as a starter. I
45:22
Speaker 2: think he's got a lot of potential. He was one
45:24
Speaker 2: of the most accurate quarterbacks in the nation and it
45:26
Speaker 2: was his first year, so it'll be interesting to see
45:30
Speaker 2: how he continues to develop. Texas had two guys on defense,
45:35
Speaker 2: Colin Simmons and Rashiem Biles. Biles is a transfer from
45:40
Speaker 2: pitt He's a two time All acc player, led the
45:44
Speaker 2: league this season with seventeen tackles for loss, so Texas
45:48
Speaker 2: with a big ad there in the linebacker room. And
45:52
Speaker 2: then Colin Simmons, you know, has been one of the
45:54
Speaker 2: best pass rushers in the country for the last couple
45:56
Speaker 2: of years, probably would be, you know, the first round
46:00
Speaker 2: pick if he was draft eligible, but one more year
46:03
Speaker 2: for him. And then offensive tackle Trevor Gooseby was the
46:07
Speaker 2: other Longhorn. So those are the guys that we got
46:10
Speaker 2: to go up against this year, and I think a
46:13
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of eggies got snubbed here, Mario
46:15
Speaker 2: Craver being the main one I think he should be
46:17
Speaker 2: in here for sure, But I mean, I guess ruemyn
46:23
Speaker 2: Owens isn't all American, probably, But I just feel like
46:28
Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of a lot of aggies that
46:29
Speaker 2: could have been on here. Cam Coleman also made the
46:32
Speaker 2: list second team offense. Hey, he was an aggie at
46:34
Speaker 2: one point, he was a hypothetical aggie. Yeah, but it'll
46:40
Speaker 2: be an interesting year, that's for sure.
46:43
Speaker 6: I'm definitely excited to see one how our team looks.
46:47
Speaker 6: But also I love watching all of these fan bases
46:51
Speaker 6: go wild over Oh we've got these people, Oh we
46:54
Speaker 6: got this person. And I'm not pointing fingers, but Texas
46:58
Speaker 6: is doing it again.
46:59
Speaker 2: It's we do it all the time.
47:01
Speaker 5: Though.
47:01
Speaker 6: Yes, but I am interested to see how Texas plays
47:06
Speaker 6: this year simply because they did pick up quite a
47:09
Speaker 6: few good players in the portal and I know Arch
47:12
Speaker 6: is going into his second year. But the way that
47:15
Speaker 6: they're saying they're going to be winning the National championship
47:18
Speaker 6: next year kind of blows my mind a teeny bit.
47:21
Speaker 2: Every team that's in contention for the National Championship is
47:24
Speaker 2: going to say that they're gonna win it. That's just
47:26
Speaker 2: how that goes. Texas is especially notorious for that. They
47:30
Speaker 2: always have been, they always will be. Not really something
47:34
Speaker 2: that I get concerned about, to be honest.
47:36
Speaker 5: Right, I'm obviously in Aggie my whole life. But you know,
47:41
Speaker 5: the big talk of last year was Arch Manning was
47:43
Speaker 5: the Heisman favorite, and then he you know, fell off, underperformed,
47:47
Speaker 5: wasn't very good, and then he kind of got hot
47:50
Speaker 5: at the end of the season.
47:51
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, where now it's like.
47:54
Speaker 5: Heisman's second life, like like he like re.
47:58
Speaker 2: I think he is the Heisman favorite again this year,
48:00
Speaker 2: which is really funny, more valid this year than it
48:02
Speaker 2: was last. Absolutely, I definitely agree with you there, but
48:06
Speaker 2: like especially Fine Boum came out like the day after
48:09
Speaker 2: the National Championship and said Arch is gonna win the Heisman,
48:11
Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, did you not learn anything from
48:13
Speaker 2: last year?
48:14
Speaker 6: I will say this though about Arch Fanning. He did
48:16
Speaker 6: have a little bit of a rough start to the
48:18
Speaker 6: season and the media just grilled him because of his
48:21
Speaker 6: last name. Yeah, so yeah, I am an A and
48:23
Speaker 6: M fan obviously, but I do hope he has a
48:26
Speaker 6: decent year so everyone will just hop off him because
48:31
Speaker 6: I feel like the heat he's taking is just as
48:33
Speaker 6: an ever athlete perspective, it's.
48:35
Speaker 5: Just a little Yeah, it's either way overhyped or like
48:40
Speaker 5: way like dogging on him saying he's terrible.
48:43
Speaker 2: I think he's a good we're extremely cold. Yeah, I
48:45
Speaker 2: think he's a good quarterback. I just think that in
48:48
Speaker 2: the position that he's in, like you said, with the
48:50
Speaker 2: last name that he has, if he's not an elite quarterback,
48:52
Speaker 2: he's gonna catch heat. That's just how that's going to go.
48:56
Speaker 6: But I also feel like that with you know, Reid
48:59
Speaker 6: had an excellent year and he had a couple of
49:00
Speaker 6: rough games toward the end, and I hate how people
49:03
Speaker 6: hop off and on that train too with him because
49:05
Speaker 6: he has a good quarterback. He just has those moments
49:08
Speaker 6: where it's like that was on a great decision. And
49:11
Speaker 6: he also I feel like Reid is one of those
49:13
Speaker 6: players that he wants to test the limits and he's
49:16
Speaker 6: wanting to try and make a play, you know, to
49:18
Speaker 6: just I don't know, see if he can have a
49:20
Speaker 6: scoring opportunity, and sometimes obviously doesn't work out in his favor.
49:23
Speaker 6: But that's one thing about I guess being in the
49:26
Speaker 6: perspective of being a quarterback. I guess just in that category.
49:30
Speaker 6: You're supposed to be the leader team, carry the team,
49:32
Speaker 6: but everything falls on you when you win and when.
49:34
Speaker 2: You lose, right, I mean, that's yeah, that's just kind
49:38
Speaker 2: of how football is as far as the quarterback goes.
49:40
Speaker 2: It's not right, but that is that is how it
49:43
Speaker 2: usually plays out. One thing I wanted to talk about
49:46
Speaker 2: before we get out of here. Got about ten minutes
49:49
Speaker 2: left in the show. Today, college football Playoff. The new
49:53
Speaker 2: format it you know, continues to change. It's still only
49:56
Speaker 2: twelve teams, but POWERF conferences all four of them will
50:01
Speaker 2: be guaranteed a spot for their conference champion, which has
50:04
Speaker 2: been established. But one thing that I think people didn't
50:08
Speaker 2: really notice until today and people started to point out,
50:12
Speaker 2: was there's one spot reserved for the group of six,
50:15
Speaker 2: which was clear, right, that's what That's what I was
50:19
Speaker 2: getting at was apparently it doesn't have to be a
50:23
Speaker 2: conference champion. It's just whichever group of six team is
50:26
Speaker 2: ranked the highest. So apparently a lot of group of
50:30
Speaker 2: six leaders, so like the conference presidents and the athletic
50:34
Speaker 2: directors are just now figuring out that it doesn't it's
50:37
Speaker 2: not even a conference champion, which is wild to me
50:40
Speaker 2: because now the playoff. Can just say, you know what,
50:44
Speaker 2: I think two lane is gonna make us the most money.
50:45
Speaker 2: We're gonna put two Liliane in. I don't care if
50:47
Speaker 2: they lost to you know, sm SMUs is not American anymore.
50:52
Speaker 2: I don't care if they lost the Navy in the
50:53
Speaker 2: conference championship game. We're putting in two lane because two
50:55
Speaker 2: lane is going to make us the most money. Just
50:57
Speaker 2: choosing two lilian as an example here, not hating on
50:59
Speaker 2: the Green Wave at all, but it's it's just another
51:03
Speaker 2: situation in which it's just probably going to come down
51:06
Speaker 2: to the money.
51:06
Speaker 5: And well, crazier than that, if Notre Dame is ranked
51:09
Speaker 5: in the top twelve, they're guaranteed a spot.
51:12
Speaker 2: Yeah that that, I mean, that's crazy that we've over
51:15
Speaker 2: the last week. People have yelled about that enough and
51:18
Speaker 2: I'll yell about it some more.
51:19
Speaker 6: They take a conference.
51:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we were moving in a good direction
51:25
Speaker 2: with this year. They left Notre Dame out after they
51:28
Speaker 2: lost to the two good teams they played. Yeah, they
51:31
Speaker 2: lost to Miami and they lost a Noted and they
51:34
Speaker 2: lost to a M Gully We and m beat Notre Dame.
51:37
Speaker 2: Let me let me just say that very clearly so
51:38
Speaker 2: that you know what I'm talking about. They lost to
51:40
Speaker 2: the two good teams that they played, they got left
51:43
Speaker 2: out of the playoff. I think rationally there's nothing wrong
51:47
Speaker 2: with that. So I thought we were moving in a
51:50
Speaker 2: good direction with not just giving Notre Dame whatever they
51:52
Speaker 2: wanted whenever they wanted it, and then.
51:54
Speaker 6: We just went right back to especially Miami, making it
51:57
Speaker 6: all the way to be in.
51:58
Speaker 2: Exactly yep, but now just moving backwards and guaranteeing them
52:02
Speaker 2: a spot if they're ranked in the top twelve.
52:04
Speaker 5: Hey, on the way too early, top twenty five for
52:07
Speaker 5: next year. Notre Dame is already ranked number four.
52:10
Speaker 2: Really, that's also not an official poll, that's just on
52:14
Speaker 2: the ESPN. Sure, not not disagreeing with you there, but yeah,
52:21
Speaker 2: Notre Dame is always gonna be in the top five preseason.
52:23
Speaker 2: They could be. They could have lost all their players
52:25
Speaker 2: and they'd be top five preseason. It's pretty ridiculous. And
52:30
Speaker 2: they could solve this problem. They'll just join and join
52:33
Speaker 2: the ACC. The ACC has been they have that schedule
52:38
Speaker 2: partnership where they play like five ACC teams a year.
52:41
Speaker 2: I think, so just join the conference and then they'll
52:44
Speaker 2: have an even number of teams and they won't have
52:47
Speaker 2: to do the thing where they play. Yeah, they would
52:50
Speaker 2: win the ACC. They would definitely be a top three
52:52
Speaker 2: team every year and probably win it most years, and
52:55
Speaker 2: then we wouldn't have this conversation. I mean, maybe Clemson
52:59
Speaker 2: will get back up in there, but that kind of
53:01
Speaker 2: looks like it's going downhill. Yep, Miami, maybe they're here
53:08
Speaker 2: to stay. Who knows, they haven't been consistent in a
53:12
Speaker 2: long time.
53:13
Speaker 5: But yeah, worse than this, the parameters to get into
53:19
Speaker 5: the playoff. What do you think about the playoff scheduling?
53:23
Speaker 5: I think it's terrible.
53:23
Speaker 2: Well, it keeps moving backwards. I mean it's we're gonna have.
53:27
Speaker 6: To get rid of conference championship games.
53:29
Speaker 2: It does seem to be moving in that direction. And
53:31
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a problem.
53:33
Speaker 6: I don't think it's going to be.
53:34
Speaker 2: I don't know if that part's a problem. I think
53:37
Speaker 2: it's fine will to just say whichever team has the
53:40
Speaker 2: best record wins the conference. I don't I don't love that,
53:45
Speaker 2: but it's fine, like opposed to other things. That's not
53:48
Speaker 2: the worst that could happen. But yeah, the schedule is
53:53
Speaker 2: going to keep getting longer, especially if we go to
53:55
Speaker 2: twenty four teams, then we're absolutely going to have to
54:01
Speaker 2: get rid of conference games because nobody's going to want
54:03
Speaker 2: to play nineteen games in a season. We do have
54:07
Speaker 2: one more bit of breaking news before we in the show.
54:10
Speaker 5: Here.
54:14
Speaker 2: Former Aggie baseball hitting coach and hurting coordinator Caleb Longley
54:19
Speaker 2: is headed to the Reds organization as a hitting instructor.
54:22
Speaker 2: All right, so after the beef that went down with
54:27
Speaker 2: Longley and the Aggies parting ways, he is now going
54:31
Speaker 2: into professional baseball.
54:33
Speaker 5: That's the guy who said he was going to go
54:34
Speaker 5: start his own business.
54:35
Speaker 2: Well he already Okay, so he already had his own business, right,
54:38
Speaker 2: And there was well, there were conflicts supposedly between I'm not.
54:44
Speaker 6: Sure the contract that said that he wasn't able to
54:46
Speaker 6: leave within there were certain things written in the contract that.
54:50
Speaker 2: Was kind of yeah, he didn't like the way the
54:51
Speaker 2: contract was written, exactly Basically, it sounded like a lot
54:56
Speaker 2: of the disagreements had stemmed from them not liking that
54:59
Speaker 2: he had his own side business. And I don't know
55:01
Speaker 2: if that might have been because he was, you know,
55:03
Speaker 2: helping train other schools players maybe something like that. And
55:06
Speaker 2: exactly sure, I get it. But I mean, this seems
55:09
Speaker 2: like a pretty good solution. Just go to professional baseball.
55:11
Speaker 2: So congratulations, it's a pretty good deal for him. Well,
55:16
Speaker 2: we are right up against the final break here, so
55:19
