- 1:51thirty SEC football. This Tennessee story that continues to grow in Vince Ferira on
- 1:57the Tennessee Broadcast Network will get his thoughts as well. You were yawning over
- 2:01there, you tired? Did you not sleep good? I didn't know if
- 2:05you dreamed about whatever it was on the East Metro Parkway last night. All
- 2:08right, So there is a lot to get to today. We'll start with
- 2:13some fun here on the Tennessee story. Brett McMurphy the Ultimate NCAA bracket State
- 2:17of Tennessee and the Commonwealth of Virginia, versus the National Collegiate Athletic Association that
- 2:23wud be the nc double A, that would be your bracket. So there
- 2:27is a lot going on with this Tennessee story we'll start with. And this
- 2:31is fascinating, fascinating stuff as the NCAA could have themselves a big problem here.
- 2:38Tennessee and Virginia Attorney generals, as expected, filed their motion for the
- 2:46court to grant a temporary restraining order by February sixth that would prohibit the NCAA
- 2:52from enforcing its nil recruiting policies. And what's interesting is in this thing they
- 3:00set it up almost it looks like an NCAA bracket. I see where Brett
- 3:02McMurphy gets that. But the State of Tennessee and Commonwealth of Virginia moved for
- 3:07a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedures sixty
- 3:14five in joining the National Collegiate Athletics Association, its servants, agents, and
- 3:19employees, and all persons in active or participation with them from enforcing nil recruiting
- 3:28ban and taking the other objections to prevent prospective college athletes and transfer candidates from
- 3:34engaging in NIL discussions prior to enrollment. So they're going after the NCAA,
- 3:39which is fantastic. I am all on board with this. If granted,
- 3:46college recruits will be able to enter into NIL deals freely even before enrollment.
- 3:52It's similar to the tro granted in the case against the incitaba's transfer policy.
- 3:58For now, college athletes can transfer freely and unlimited number of times. As
- 4:03ross Stellinger continues with this, he says, for years now, the courts
- 4:06have sent a clear message to college sports, your operation is illegal. It
- 4:12matters not whether you agree. There is but one choice left quote. We
- 4:16should have been far more forward thinking over the past twenty years talking about the
- 4:20NCAA. And there's a big story on Yahoo sports dot com. NCAA stuck
- 4:25in a quagmire of its own making with the latest NIL mess And I'll dive
- 4:32more into this, but as noted in the story, NCAA members member schools
- 4:36adopted rule X. We'll get into what rule X is. N CUBA enforces
- 4:41Rule X, NCAA members and advocates sue in CBLEA a rule X so,
- 4:46and some more stuff on this. NCAA is currently fighting at least half a
- 4:49dozen legal challenges right now, and they would cost three billion in retroactive INIL,
- 4:58Austin and TV revenue. Make athletes employees, permit athletes to unionize,
- 5:02permit athletes to transfer unlimited times, and permit athletes to sign NIOL deals as
- 5:09recruits. Also, the AG's legal complaint says the NCAA has entered into an
- 5:15illegal horizontal group boycott for prospective college athletes. As Danny White, the athletics
- 5:23director of the University of Tennessee, he says, I appreciate the action of
- 5:27Tennessee AG Jonathan s courmmittee for standing up for the rights of student athletes at
- 5:33Tennessee. We are always going to work to support our student athletes rights and
- 5:38give them all the tools needed to succeed on and off the field. And
- 5:44they continue here and they're legal filing against the nc DOUBLEA. Tennessee and Virginia
- 5:49AG's want the court to bar the NCAA from enforcing its NIL recruiting band and
- 5:56barred from preventing any recruits or transfers from entering deals the roll. But so
- 6:00you got the nc DOBLEA has created it quite a mess here with this whole
- 6:05deal, and we'll get more into this as we followed along. Speaking of
- 6:11followed along just earlier, Governor of Tennessee weighs in on this as well.
- 6:15Governor Bill Lee, the University of Tennessee has been nothing but forthcoming with the
- 6:19n c double A, and I thank Chancellor Dundee Plowman for taking a stand
- 6:25on behalf of all universities and student athletes. It's time for the NCAA to
- 6:29establish clear rules in the interest of student athletes rather than to try to retroactively
- 6:33enforce ever changing name, image, and likeness guidance. That's from Governor Bill
- 6:36Lee from the state of Tennessee. I am looking for one other quote on
- 6:44this. I'll get back to it. Well, here it is right here.
- 6:46Emily Proud. That is her name, and she's the host on two
- 6:49four to seven Sports also CBS Sports dot Com HQ for college football. She
- 6:57says the NCAA is holding onto amateurism for dear life, but it's like gripping
- 7:01sand. Justice Kavanaugh's opinion post alson ruling said it well. The ncuable A
- 7:10is not above the law. As Patrick Brown of two four seven reported,
- 7:14Tennessee's fighting back against the Incitaba heads to the government level and into legal realms
- 7:18with the ags of Tennessee and Virginia six or one eight eight, five,
- 7:24three, seven, seven six if you want to text. The program on
- 7:26the field stuff. Top ten college football coach is courtesy of Jesse Simonson.
- 7:30As we move towards spring. This is on two four seven sports dot Com.
- 7:35He has Kirby Smart number one in the country, and I don't think
- 7:40most people would disagree that that Kirby Smart is the number one coach in the
- 7:44country. Brian Kelly number two in the country. I don't so that be
- 7:47people to agree with that though, that you're gonna put Brian Kelly at number
- 7:50two, Kaylyn to Bore number three. I wouldn't put him in number three
- 7:54either, Ryan Day at number four, Steve Sarksian five, Dabo twenty six,
- 8:00Mike Norvel seven, Kyle Winningham Utah number eight, Lincoln Riley number nine,
- 8:05and Lane Kiffin number ten. That is their top ten coaches. And
- 8:11I think they have more in this batch here, but we'll see. I'll
- 8:13come back to that. Also, Notre Dame, we said yesterday they're starting
- 8:16quarterback. Riley Leonard has been ruled out for the winter workouts. After having
- 8:20knee surgery or ankle surgery rather earlier this month, he might still be able
- 8:26to start spring practice, but we'll see it. Of course, he is
- 8:28going to bring a big punch for Notre Dame this year. After just a
- 8:33really good several years at Duke and of course with Mike Olco headed off to
- 8:39Texas A and M he decided it was time for him to move on now.
- 8:41This past year he didn't play a lot of football. He was battling
- 8:43injuries. But prior to that twenty twenty two twenty touchdowns and six interceptions right
- 8:48under three thousand yards and also can run. It went healthy thirteen touchdowns a
- 8:56year and a half ago, almost seven hundred yards for Riley Leonard and you
- 9:01look back his freshman year was able to do some things as well. Played
- 9:05in seven football games his freshman year and had some success as well, so
- 9:11he should have success at Notre Dame. Also, Alabama is expected to hire
- 9:16TCU's Iron Hodges as an associate director of player personnel sources Teil two four to
- 9:24seven sports dot com. He's been a key behind the scenes figure for TCU
- 9:28as a recruiting coordinator and defensive quality analyst previously worked at Ohio State, Purdue
- 9:33Louisville, and Texas Tech, and now he will head over to the Alabama
- 9:39Crimson Tide and do very very similar work there as well. Also, we'll
- 9:46get into this ten programs who have been quote bad season proof over the last
- 9:50decade. The most consecutive winning seasons. We'll get into this Boise State still
- 9:54twenty six straight winning seasons for Boise State. And this is a good piece
- 9:58that I want to jump off into as we move along today, we'll have
- 10:03Michael Bratton coming in at four thirty. That SEC podcast will also have Vince
- 10:05Ferrara at five point fifteen. We are brought to you by our friends at

- 11:48let's see here Space Ghost on the Cowboy Maloney's tech sign. Seattle Seahawks
- 11:52hire Mike McDonald, defensive coordinator from Baltimore. Hopefully that'll be a great hire.
- 11:58Is that a great hire for Seattle? You don't think so so.
- 12:01Space Coast Beaver is not buying what you are selling. This. Whatever this
- 12:09is, it's not gonna be a great hire. Seattle's not doing worth the
- 12:13day. They got a lot of work to do. Let me see,
- 12:16let me look over here real quickly, speaking of NFL, a surprise team
- 12:22is interested in trading up for Caleb Williams, and you'll start to hear a
- 12:24lot of these stories materialize as we move, you know, through the Senior
- 12:28Bowl this week into the Combine, all that kind of stuff. You're gonna
- 12:33hear all of that stuff really start to take shape. The Kaylb Williams NFL
- 12:37draft rumors are already starting to heat up. With Russell Wilson out at Denver,
- 12:41it appears the Broncos may be interested in taking a look at Williams.
- 12:43According to a report from NFL insider Tony Pauline, the Broncos and Sean Paton
- 12:48are interested in trading up for Williams. Sports Kida NFL says Peyton wants one
- 12:56of the top passers, Kayla Williams, Drake may or Jaden Daniels. I
- 12:58spoke at about this while with several people, including longtime Denver Broncos insider Cecil
- 13:05Lammy, or radio and television personality from the city, as well as a
- 13:07writer at the Denver Sports dot Com. I was able to confirm the Broncos
- 13:13are interested in moving up for their quarterback of the future. Yet such a
- 13:18move would come at an enormous cost, and it's very unlikely that might happen,
- 13:22you know, if the cost is just way out there. Pauling goes
- 13:26onto reports that the Broncos would likely have to part ways with Patrick Surtain Junior
- 13:30for a chance to trade for Williams. The Broncos would surely include cornerback Patrick's
- 13:35Curtain. I'm told while the franchise doesn't want to trade, certain they would
- 13:41consider moving the corner only as a result to secure one of the top passers.
- 13:46So you're gonna hear a lot of these rumors start to circulate, and
- 13:50you know, depending on what we're looking at with the NFL draft, you
- 13:54could see some movement, you know, inside the top ten. Depends on
- 13:58how hungry people are to go get a good quarterback. You know. Right
- 14:01now, let's see looking at this Keyla Williams is projected to the Bears.
- 14:05But again, what do they do with Justin Fields? Are they going to
- 14:09move him? I think there's so many moves that could be made in the
- 14:13top ten this year from the Bears. I mean, Drake May has slided
- 14:16right now at least today to go to the commanders and Jayden Daniels to the
- 14:24New England Patriots. So when you're talking about one, two to three off
- 14:26the board quarterbacks, that's where a lot of people feel like this could happen.
- 14:30And you know, a couple wide receivers as well, and then of
- 14:33course offensive and defensive lineman. So it depends on who's hungry enough. I
- 14:37mean in this mock draft, bow Knicks to the Broncos pick number twelve,
- 14:43So that may be where Sean Payton wills to go. All right. NFL
- 14:46coaching hires stand with the NFL grades. Seahawks get a B for Mike McDonald
- 14:52courtesy of CBS Sports. Chargers are an A for Jim Harball. So just
- 14:56looking at some of these grades of coaches, you look at the Chargers,
- 15:00Jim Harball, it will be interesting to see where Vegas kind of slots them
- 15:05after the Super Bowl next week and the way too early because you know the
- 15:07Vegas lines will come out. I wonder, let me go over here and
- 15:09look, you may actually have NFL lines right now for next year if we
- 15:16go so right now, we're still a two point swing between the forty nine
- 15:20ers and the Chiefs forty nine Ers minus two against the Chiefs totals at forty
- 15:24seven and a half. And let's see here. Yeah, you got odds
- 15:31out right now, twenty four, twenty five, even before we play next
- 15:33week, forty nine. Ers are still the favorite next year, even if
- 15:37you don't win this week, next week, still the favorite five to one.
- 15:41Chiefs seven to one, Ravens ten to one, Buffalo Bills ten to
- 15:46one. Got a lot of tens in here, Bengals, you can get
- 15:50in on them, Cowboys early right now, fourteen to one, Detroit Lions
- 15:54fourteen to one, Dolphins twenty to one, and I'm looking for them Broncos
- 16:00seventy five to one, and I want to see the Chargers thirty to one.
- 16:07So if you want Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers right now, you ca
- 16:08get them thirty to one. That's a heck of a play. They got
- 16:11a really good quarterback, they got a championship winning coach. Thirty to one.
- 16:17I could get them for thirty to one. I may have to make
- 16:18this play thirty to one on the Chargers right now. I'm gonna get out
- 16:23to a Maristar next week, so I may have to make this play.
- 16:26You take thirty to one, man, that is really good odds on the
- 16:30Chargers, and well the new head football coach. Let me look over here
- 16:33and see on the NFL side, let's see standings. Let's see where are
- 16:45the standings at there we go. So when you look at the Chargers this
- 16:48past year, in a year where obviously there was some transition going on,
- 16:52I mean, they were five and twelve, but they can I mean you
- 16:55would have to think Jim Harball is going to make up a lot of roster
- 16:57moves. Here, got a really good quarterback maybe worth the uh worth of
- 17:02play. Let's go to DJ DJ welcome man. Well Jay, just glad
- 17:06you brought up you Chargers because I'm keeping up with them. And you know,
- 17:10Harball's first words his team, what's that who's got it better? Not?
- 17:17Well that's true nobody? Okay, Yeah, you know, I wonder
- 17:19if that works as well in uh San Diego. And actually I heard as
- 17:25he was moving out of Van Arbor, he was, you know, saying,
- 17:29he's got it better than us. Uh. I think it'll taken a
- 17:32couple of years. But I really don't know much about the Chargers. You
- 17:36know, I'm I'm a secret Chicago Bear fan. And look our general management
- 17:40has been really bad for years. I also like the Ravens, I like,
- 17:44you know, I like the Browns too. Uh. But what about
- 17:48the general Man's been a Chargers. I've never kept up with him. Have
- 17:49they done a decent John? I think so. I mean they grated out.
- 17:53If you listen to the talking heads in the NFL, the d RAP
- 17:56reports and those guys, I mean they seem to think it was a good
- 17:59hih earlier this week and I can remember not remember the gentleman's name. We
- 18:03just mentioned it come across the wire. But based on what they say,
- 18:07yes, it was a it was a good hire. Well. And the
- 18:11other advantage of being a Horball, as you know, you got to hire
- 18:15good people. And all these quality young coaches are older coaches are gonna want
- 18:22to work with the Harballs because by all, you know, obviously I'm still
- 18:27a little butt heard about losing three times to MISSI and only two of them
- 18:30were to Horba. By the way, I did want to throw out,
- 18:33you know, his record against Ohio State, his final record, I'm gonna
- 18:37guess it was three and the old field field on field right, three and
- 18:45nine, two and five, two and five. Yeah, so you know
- 18:48we all towd that out there, and uh, I said, uh,
- 18:52but now I do recognize him as a good coach. Can you remember when
- 18:56the Missigan people were ready to run him out of u uh, you know,
- 19:02running out of Anna Arbor and he took a pay cut and stayed.
- 19:06Do you think he's leaving just simply because of the situation of ni L and
- 19:11the transfer portal, or do you still expect something to come down from nca
- 19:17you know, the NCAA. I mean, it could the n CUABLEA is
- 19:19in such a quagmire right now with several schools and what's going on with now,
- 19:22especially with the University of Tennessee that we've been talking about in this out
- 19:26there in the in the news world today. But it could be. It
- 19:29could be a mixture. You know, there's no way to know, you
- 19:30know, Harborough, he's not going to say a whole lot, but I
- 19:33would think that probably there is some fatigue with the college game, and you
- 19:37know, obviously there's some butting of heads with those with some you know,
- 19:41important people at the University of Michigan. So it was probably just hey,
- 19:44look I got a national title. I got what I wanted. You got
- 19:47what you wanted, and this time to time to part ways? Right?
- 19:49Well, and the last thing, have you got to pick for the Super
- 19:52Bowl? Is that too early? I'm have I mean, like I said
- 19:55yesterday, I will stay with this. I'm pulling for San Francisco, but
- 19:59I like Kansas City doing the game by just a little bit. Well,
- 20:03I don't know a lot, but tanas Cities cost me some money to this
- 20:06playoff season because it's and I get off out of this question. But at
- 20:11the end of the season, they looked like they were ready to be put
- 20:14out of their misery? Did they not? They did? They absolutely did.
- 20:18They've done a heck of a job turning it around. They've cost me
- 20:21money every week. So I just I'm I'm I'm snake bit with the Chiefs.
- 20:26So now I'm probably gonna throw a little bit of their way and go
- 20:29the other way. I want to see San Francisco win it. But but
- 20:32what's hard to And I said that was my last question, all right,
- 20:36But I'll ask you this question. Okay, Joe Montana was a great quarterback,
- 20:41right, oh, absolutely, But was John Alway not obviously more talented
- 20:48in a greater quarterback and more talented? Yes, you know greater's you could
- 20:53make. I mean, you could put ten people in a room that no
- 20:56football and fans and all that, and they're gonna pick. You know,
- 20:59you'll probably got done. Definitely more athletic, right, Well, Tom Brady's
- 21:04still to go. Will you agree with that? Yes? But at what
- 21:08point do we say Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback to ever played the position.
- 21:14I mean, he's definitely on that trajectory. I think you got to
- 21:17wait a few more years. I mean, he's I think he's already established
- 21:19himself as one of the best. But I mean he's definitely on the trajectory
- 21:22of you know, you look at some of the records he's breaking, and
- 21:25you know, now back to another Super Bowl, that conversation, this is
- 21:29really starting to heat up. And I'm not a fan, but he's mobile.
- 21:33He throws the ball from positions we've never seen. But you know the
- 21:37thing that is the most amazing is he doesn't turn the ball over and he
- 21:44protects the ball in the red zone. It's like he's got the brain of
- 21:48a forty year old the body of a twenty year old. It's just it's
- 21:53you know, and I'm not a my homes fan. I'll be honest,
- 21:56I'm not, but I've got to the point where I recognize greatness. And
- 22:00the thing is he doesn't have the longevity is Brady. But I would venture
- 22:03to say that his three best years, Brady doesn't have three years to compare
- 22:07against. But anyway, that's my opinion. Thanks, thanks so much,

- 25:26calls come March? It absolutely is a good win. I mean anytime you
- 25:29get a win over a winning team, especially in a Power five league.
- 25:32And I say power five, that term is used very loosely. That's a
- 25:36football term, but it migrates into basketball, if that makes sense. How
- 25:41many wins? You know, used to you could say you need twenty wins.
- 25:45Yeah, I conme remember back in the nineties, early two thousands,
- 25:47you'd say, hey, you gotta get twenty wins. But now twenty isn't
- 25:51a for sure lock. But I think Ole Miss right now, I mean,
- 25:53if you get they're eighteen and three. They're five and three in the
- 25:57league, just about at the half way point, so I mean Ole Miss
- 26:02is in really good position. You know, if Ole Miss gets in the
- 26:06you know, twenty one, twenty two. I mean, you're just talking
- 26:07a few more wins here. Let's look at their schedule and then we'll do
- 26:11this for State Ole Miss. Let's see there, it is eighteen and three
- 26:18right now is Ole Miss after the win last night over State and moving forward
- 26:23over the next month, we'll be truck down here. They will. This
- 26:30weekend they play Auburn in Oxford, so they'll have an opportunity to get another
- 26:36big win. Of course, Auburn came to startvell and lost the other night.
- 26:38They'll make a return trip to the state of Mississippi and play Ole miss
- 26:41South Carolina and Columbia, Kentucky and Lexington, Missouri and Oxford State in Starville,
- 26:49South Carolina and Oxford, Alabama and Oxford, then Missouri again in Columbia,
- 26:56and then Georgia and Texas A and M. So you're talking about what
- 26:59one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
- 27:02nine, literally ten games, And the NCAA Tournament committee always talks about how
- 27:07you perform in your last ten games. You know, how hot are you?
- 27:11You know, if you get to twenty wins, but then you go
- 27:12four and six down the slot in your last ten, that could hurt.
- 27:17Of course, you get into Kim Palm ratings and all kinds of stuff like
- 27:18that. So I think ole Miss is in a good position, a really
- 27:22good position right now. Unnamed Texter ole Miss is now eighteen and three,
- 27:26not too bad, great win last night, but still not getting much respect,
- 27:30you know nationally. I mean you're starting to hear some buzz on ole
- 27:36Miss. But again, remember this is just about keep winning, keep winning,
- 27:40and look you end up with a good seed in the NCAA tournament.
- 27:42And I think ole Miss is headed in that direction. You know, from
- 27:45the national landscape. If we go over here and look at at the AP
- 27:52from this prior week, and look at the basketball poll. Let me see
- 27:56here here it is, and you look, I mean obviously with Yukon and
- 28:03what they're doing, Purdue at nineteen and two, North Carolina seventeen and three,
- 28:10and some of these teams, you know, they've they've had a tougher
- 28:12strength of schedule. I mean, you look at some of the wins that
- 28:15Yukon has or Purdue has, Tennessee has. But I mean ole Miss is
- 28:21I mean you talk about let's see, where would they be. They're round
- 28:25right outside the top twenty five. Coming into the week, they're sending it
- 28:27about number thirty three, Alabama sitting at twenty four. Other SEC schools as
- 28:33well, Auburn at number sixteen, and then Kentucky at number ten. So
- 28:37I think ole Miss is in a good slot. Real Lyndon Textra, is
- 28:41this true? Crazy? If so you said that they were fudging numbers on
- 28:44this, well, you know how articles sometimes maybe you shouldn't have put it
- 28:51out there in the first place. Now, this article, it's depending on
- 28:56well, you didn't even read what we're talking about. I didn't. I
- 29:00did. That's a horrible job. As a quote unquote show host to just
- 29:03say is this true? And not everybody's like what is what? That is?
- 29:07Awful? Yes, real name, the real unnamed textra sent us a
- 29:11screenshot of a graphic with an Alabama helmet that says an Alabama draft pick quote
- 29:17has never scored in a Super Bowl. That's what we're talking about. Okay,
- 29:21So the article seems to be twisting things around to fit their narrative what
- 29:30they consider to back up their headline because it's on CBS and the title of
- 29:36the article is no Alabama player okay, no Alabama player has ever scored a
- 29:42point in a Super Bowl. Go back just one year. Jalen Hurts,
- 29:48who played at Alabama, scored three touchdowns. But they specifically say whoever wrote
- 29:55this, and the CBS article says, but since he didn't finish his career
- 29:59at alb Obama, he doesn't count. Let's go back to Kenny Stabler.
- 30:04He threw a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl. But the wording from this
- 30:08same writer says, but because it wasn't rushing, it doesn't count. So
- 30:15the streak continues. Did it say that you can't count rushing? Nope?
- 30:22Nope, that that those words came out of nowhere. It did not start
- 30:26qualifying. This is only a rushing stat Who is this loose rider? Let
- 30:34me see, let me this is Brian Diardo of cbssports dot com. Hello,
- 30:45Brian, your article suck that. That's that's very weird. It sounds
- 30:51like he doesn't like Alabama and maybe he's doing a puff piece because you know,
- 30:55if you write for CBS Sports or OutKick or ESPN or anywhere, that's
- 30:59a national quote, national brand. If you write an article about Alabama,
- 31:03you're gonna get Alabama football, You're gonna get clicks. Right, just with
- 31:07the Alabama helmet and the Alabama name and an article, you're gonna get clix.
- 31:11People a gonna read it. So to say that they've never scored in
- 31:15a Super Bowl that would bring a lot of clicks. So this feels like
- 31:18clickbait in And then if you want to continue the wording and twisting, because
- 31:23the picture here that really named Texter, Now this wording is in Alabama draft
- 31:30pick has never scored, So I guess technically if you still want to if
- 31:38you want to use that for Jalen Hurts and say, well, he was
- 31:42drafted straight out of Oklahoma, I guess you could twist and turn your words
- 31:48there. But Stabler was an Alabama draft pick. So nope, none of
- 31:52this works. None of these words work. I don't know what they're doing
- 31:56here. His articles terrible et for MSU. Before're gonna break twenty dollars to
- 32:01win six hundred? Why not? Yeah? Talking about the Chargers. I
- 32:05gotta get back into this. Am I really? Am? I really gonna
- 32:08go put money on the Chargers to win the Super Bowl next year? I

- 34:10Beef Joe Namath did not, but bart Starr had himself a couple. So
- 34:15that was what super Bowl one. Once again history we only went I guess
- 34:22this guy only went back so far. We're going to go back to the

- 34:59this stat now, but I don't know that the headline Joe read. I
- 35:01don't know that it said the Drives callers. Can we put the Drives callers
- 35:08in with the general populace? What do you think it's one out of four
- 35:14when it comes to one of five nine callers, I think so. I
- 35:16think you can move that back to four. Magic Mike, Arguably the greatest
- 35:22Super Bowl personality of all time is Joe Namath and Alabama draft pick. And
- 35:25what did you just say about Joe Namath? Did say anything about jo Namath?
- 35:29In there? Namath did not have a touchdown, but Bart started,
- 35:37Bart started, Okay, all right, very good six one eight, eight,
- 35:42five, three, seven, seven six. Uh, let's see some
- 35:44stuff we'll get into. Brittany Mahomes called the worst for her behavior towards stadium
- 35:49employees. That story is out there. Also, court documents revealed disturbing comments
- 35:54made by Roger Goodell regarding player safety. Uh, that's something else we'll get
- 35:59in. And of course, the big story of today is Tennessee and what's
- 36:04going on at the University of Tennessee. Also twenty twenty four Top ten head
- 36:08coaches. We'll get back into this story. At least on three dot com,
- 36:13Phil's is the top ten head coaches. And you know, talking about
- 36:16talking about old Miss basketball today and where the ReBs are as far as the
- 36:21SEC is concerned. And when you look at let's see here the SEC basketball
- 36:28schedule that's coming up over the next several days again Missisippi State, Ole Miss.
- 36:32Last night, he had Tuesday action. Tonight you have one, two,
- 36:37three, four ball games. Alabama at Georgia, Florida at Kentucky.
- 36:40That'll be on ESPN at seven o'clock, Arkansas Missouri six or scuse me seven
- 36:45thirty on the SEC Network. Vandy at Auburn, Vanderbilt at Auburn, as
- 36:52you move along. Also, Lebron James lands a partnership to post weekly football
- 36:58bets. Did you know this after being roasted for his NFL picks? And
- 37:02I didn't realize people went to Lebron James for their NFL picks, But I'm
- 37:06not surprised. Lebron James made headlines in the sports world this week, but
- 37:10not for his play on the court. In fact, the news doesn't even
- 37:14center around the NBA. Instead, the league's all time leading scorer announced that
- 37:17he'll soon give out weekly football bets and a partnership with DraftKings. This comes
- 37:23after he was absolutely roasted this season for his NFL picks. James actually started
- 37:29his own personal segment this week this season, in which he handed out his
- 37:32betting advice to followers on x and Instagram. Unfortunately, he saw mixed results.
- 37:39Now, no one is claiming the basketball star to be a quote betting
- 37:44shark, but much of his online advice was led to led to mockery.
- 37:52He started in late September handing out some locks in week four Lebron's locks.
- 37:58Did you did you follow? Bronze locks quote? Y'all know I love football
- 38:04a post red on X where that said, I'm thinking about doing my picks
- 38:07of the week NFL games on IG Live before they start and we'll pull up.
- 38:14No, I didn't say that last part. But you'd believe that if
- 38:15I'd have left there, wouldn't you? You would have believed it. Have
- 38:17you used that term this week? By the way, to anybody you haven't
- 38:22told never Aubrey today, like hey, I'm gonna pull up, like I'll
- 38:27see you next time and we'll pull up or anything. No, the correct
- 38:30usage in that, in the in the dumb way that it's used is I
- 38:37would thank Aubrey for pulling up. But no, I didn't. Wait a
- 38:42minute, now I'm confused. I want to think I want to thank Taylor
- 38:45for pulling up. That's how it's used. Oh, so you don't refer
- 38:49to it to yourself, like if I tell you tomorrow we're gonna pull up
- 38:52at three o'clock. I just totally messed that up, Dinna see I can't
- 38:55figure out how to use this term. That's the only way I've heard it.
- 39:00It may be is different ways. I can't figure this out. Back
- 39:06to this Lebron story, he also added in the post that he's already started
- 39:10the week. He already started the week one to zero his pick in the
- 39:14Thursday night matchup, but he didn't advertise it online, which led to a
- 39:17lot of lebron Li's memes back in the season. In his picks that were
- 39:22made public, he'd go zero to two in a disastrous fashion, with his
- 39:25two bets losing by combined forty nine points outright. For those that turned into
- 39:31are tuned into the IG the Live that weekend, he actually did post an
- 39:37eight and four one record against the spread for that week. James got another
- 39:43gave it another go in Week five, the Commanders beat the Bears. Washington
- 39:46would later lose by twenty points. Lebron says, we'll do my NFL picks,
- 39:52yeah, on IG before the Sunday night game Thursday night games, so
- 39:57he is going to have his own segment on DraftKings for football picks. Are
- 40:04you surprised by this? No, I shouldn't be. Do you know why
- 40:08this is a great deal for DraftKings because he is awful as a gambling consultant
- 40:17of sorts. He has a billion followers or whatever that will listen to him
- 40:23and then will heed his advice and then go to DraftKings and then play his
- 40:29picks. This man is Kevin Todd on steroids. Will he be talking about
- 40:36Costa Rica? It's gonna be in there somewhere. I don't know why you
- 40:39would pull your guy into this, though, I'd love Kevin Tod's awsome.
- 40:44What are you talking about? Evin Todd's your guy? But I'm just saying
- 40:47Monkey's writing dogs. Will he follow Lebronze picks? Nah? I don't think
- 40:54he will. Teddy? Will he have never heard Teddy mention lebron I would
- 41:02hope not. Yeah, Teddy's more of an independent betting thinker, right,
- 41:07I mean he kind of thinks on his own. Six r one eight eight

- 44:00get over here and finish grab some of these here and just a bit,
- 44:02but I do want to go back to this. Should I grab the chargers
- 44:07at a Maristar next week? Because what does the saying Jim Harbaugh says,
- 44:15ain't nobody got it better than us? And no, what he says,
- 44:19who's got it better than us? Nobody? Who's got it better than us?
- 44:22Nobody? Thirty to one, Go ahead and jump in on this Charger
- 44:27train. Forget Miami. You know they're talking about They don't even know if
- 44:31two is coming back? Have you seen all this? Should twoa come back?
- 44:36Should the Dolphins bring to a back? Should they get Why would you
- 44:38not bring to a back? What are you? What are you gonna do?
- 44:43What are you gonna replace him with? Right? Like? Where are
- 44:45you gonna go? I mean, he played the full year, He's relatively
- 44:49healthy, They kept him upright, he kept himself upright. What are they
- 44:54doing down there? I never know? I haven't known for a long time.
- 44:59Mike mcdani needs to watch out. This luster could wear off him real
- 45:01quick if he didn't. I mean, whiz bang, Mike, gonna pull
- 45:07up, Mike whatever you know, Capri Mike, whatever you want to call
- 45:12him, Jersey boy Mike. But this this is gonna fade. So should
- 45:15I abandon the Dolphins and go with the Chargers because who's got it better than
- 45:21us? Nobody? Or should I go back in with Aaron Rodgers, who
- 45:23I have a story teat up here that one coach says that this locker room
- 45:27is a disaster since he showed up. Which way should I go? Neither
- 45:31of them are going to happen. I'd be more inclined to go with the
- 45:37Chargers than I would the Jets. What kind of year did Justin Herbert?
- 45:47Remember Chris had his sports talk radio show here. He'd call him Justin Abert.
- 45:52He was serious though, he would not call him Justin Herbert, would
- 45:57he? No, he really thought it was a bear forever forever. Let's
- 46:02see here, what an old Herbert Abar? What did he do this past
- 46:07year? Twenty touchdowns, seven picks, thirty one hundred yards, I mean,
- 46:14sixty five percent completion percentage. He can't do it all? How good
- 46:17does Jim Harball make him next year? What I always go back to when
- 46:24I say this name, forget all the off field stuff, just go with
- 46:29on the field. Jim Harball drafted Colin Kaepernick and he yeah, he may
- 46:35have been a flash in the pan, but that that time he kind of
- 46:40dominated. He did. So I give Jim Harball the b of the d
- 46:46on that one. Because I sat there and watched the forty nine Ers from
- 46:50two thousand and four through twenty eleven. They were garbage, absolute trash,
- 46:58nonsense. Jim Harbaugh got there and his first year they were in the NFC
- 47:02Championship Championship if I remember that right. His first year was when he drafted
- 47:07Kaepernick. Alex Smith got hurt. The next season, Kaepernick came in and
- 47:12took the NFL by storm. Crazy in him. So I will give.
- 47:20I'll give the like have said the B of the D to Harball. He's
- 47:22got the history. He turned around immediately kind of faltered in the you know,
- 47:27in within four years, but three straight NFC Championship games. So you're
- 47:34in this with me. We're gonna bet the FISTA on the Chargers. WHOA
- 47:38what? Why why wouldn't we Your vehicle is worth a lot more than mine?
- 47:45Why why can't we ever bet yours? We can't make any money off
- 47:49what we're gonna get the FISTA. It's gonna be meager. That's meager pay.
- 47:53It's a twenty twelve years just much newer. You know, it's a
- 47:58it's a jeep. All the people trying to fit in the club and copy
- 48:02everyone else loves jeeps, so that's it's a hot commodity. But yours would
- 48:08almost be recognized as a as a a historical model. Almost right, I
- 48:17suppose close. It's getting close. Something to think about. All right,
- 48:22let's see here, Chief shooting Bull. He says that me and you and
- 48:27a dog named Boo are about to pull up. Is that the way that
- 48:31goes? I think he's talking about you, though not me. He says,
- 48:36me and you, you, chief shooting Bull, and a dog named
- 48:39Boo are about to pull up. Boomer sooner, I'd be more confident picks
- 48:44from Taylor Swift than Lebron James Lebron picks. Finally, somebody someone whims winners
- 48:50can beat That is blasphemy. Boomer sooner. He just put me in the
- 48:55same level of Lebron James picks. Can you believe this? No, he
- 49:00said, you can beat him. I picked a national champion in April last
- 49:05year. Oh my god. Well you also picked the Vikings to win the
- 49:08Super Bowl one year and the Jets to win the Super Bowl. All right,
- 49:14you and Bill y'all love making up your own histories. Bill text message
- 49:21Bill, oh speak still mad at me? Speaking of Bill, he's mad
- 49:25at you, He says, Wait a minute, Beaver, yesterday you deleted
- 49:30portions of history to fit your narrative, and I stand by it. Bill.
- 49:35Now, this is not the same as this writer though from CBS.
- 49:37Okay, this gentleman is talking about super Bowls and he's just deleting history that
- 49:43happened in the super Bowls. I told you, I'm only counting the super
- 49:46Bowl era. Bill wants me to remember this. Remember what this is about.
- 49:51This is a Green Bay Packer bill. Yeah, the Packers championship history.
- 49:54I refuse to go back to the Great Depression and count championships from that
- 50:01era. That's what this is about. You almost movie spit this coffee.
- 50:07Bill also says, so the loose sports writer with the Alabama super Bowl story
- 50:10can omit portions of history if he wants to write. You guys make my
- 50:15drive home better every day. Thank you. Bill. Be careful out there,
- 50:20PT FIRMSU Jake, don't call a twenty twelve automobile and antique. Yeah,
- 50:24I still got thirteen years to go on that one. Think you can
- 50:28make it, Hm, that'd be that'd be something. It would be if
- 50:32you could take the FISTA to an antique. You get a tag fault to

- 51:40close to that situation. UH with the nc DOUBLEA. Also talk to NCAA
- 51:45Football or SEC Football with Mike as well. N CUAA stuck in a quagmire
- 51:51of its own making with this NIO mess. We will get back into that.
- 51:55We've been talking about Jim Harball though, and what could be expected of
- 52:00Jim Harbaugh and the San Diego Chargers. Now it's not San Diego, but
- 52:05humor me Las Vegas, Los Angeles, wan at Los Angeles. I just
- 52:10put them all out there. Who knows where they'll Lindae? But what are
- 52:14the expectations? And then JJ McCarthy, I want to get back on that
- 52:17as RT. Let me look where did I I saw something on JJ McCarthy
- 52:25over here, and I'm trying to find it here. I did see a
- 52:29reference to Stormy Daniels. Let's see here more Bully Bill needs to work for
- 52:34the NC double A. Now why is more Bully wanting to send Bill to
- 52:38the NC double A to work? That's very random. Well, because Bill
- 52:46and the NC double A they overlook stuff. They kind of write their own
- 52:52rules as we go along. They want to they want to look back at
- 53:00it. Well, Bill's trying to go back to the Great Depression for championships.
- 53:05N CAA is trying to change who has championships. What nil is acceptable,
- 53:10what is not acceptable? Even though there are no rules. I get
- 53:15it. I get what he's trying to do. Bill could be the vice
- 53:17president. Well, green oakre has got a great question here. He said,
- 53:21So do the Yankees not get twenty seven World Series championships? They don't?
- 53:24What they don't We gotta go back to the twenties. I just specifically
- 53:28mentioned the twenties and Babe Ruth wasn't real. Wow, I have seen some
- 53:35of that out there before. You were talking about the Yankees twenty three,
- 53:38twenty seven, twenty eight, thirty two, thirty six, thirty nine,
- 53:42forty one, forty three. Yeah, they got a lot of titles.
- 53:46Kind of took a break there sixty two through nineteen seventy seven. So Biaber
- 53:51is not going to include greenoakre You're Yankee Championships of twenty seven. We still
- 53:55got something going on with the phones. We're gonna to m I don't even
- 54:01want to come in on that six hour one eight nine seven one zero five
- 54:04nine, Give it five tries, five tries and you can get in maybe.
- 54:07All right, let me move in this direction here. Jets coach says
- 54:13the team has been a mess, and that's this radio compliant can't tell you
- 54:17what he really said. Following the Aaron Rodgers arrival, the Aaron Rodgers experiment
- 54:22in the in the New York Jets locker room and for the organization hasn't gone
- 54:27to plan so far, to say the least. After a relentless offseason of
- 54:30hype surrounding the Jets. Rogers tore his achilles just four snaps into the season
- 54:36and never even completed a single pass for the team this season. We forget
- 54:40that, we remember that he got hurt early. He never completed one pass,
- 54:45not one. As a result, the Jets suffered through another year of
- 54:47mediocrity and missed the playoffs for an NFL leading thirteenth straight year. Did you
- 54:53know that that leads the NFL thirteen straight years? Now? The Jets have
- 54:58missed the playoffs, st extending the longest postseason drought in American professional sports.
- 55:04Perhaps unsurprisingly, Rogers' arrival also brought some behind the scenes chaos too, as
- 55:10one of the Jets coaches told the Athletic that things have been a bleeping mess
- 55:15and something has to change. In an often repeated conflict at Fordham Park,
- 55:22a star stud of defense that kept New York in games, grew frustrated that
- 55:27the offense couldn't find a way to put more points on the board, and
- 55:30offensive players felt like rogers hand picked offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, failed to adjust
- 55:37after losing his quarterback and didn't put them in position to succeed. Now you
- 55:40can throw some of that blame on Hackett, But did Hackett have a whole
- 55:44lot to work with. He didn't have a whole lot to work with.
- 55:50The Jets lost five games by twenty or more points, and it extended the
- 55:53longest playoff drought in the four major North American professional sports leagues to thirteen years.
- 56:00Despite all the noise Rogers brought the Jets without any of the success,
- 56:07he promised the forty year old part time quarterback in full time conspiracy theories will
- 56:10be returning for the Jets next season. Can this really be thrown at the
- 56:14feet of Aaron Rodgers though the Jets the bacle this year? Yeah? How
- 56:21he didn't manifest any of this? He did. He came in and everybody
- 56:27thought, just because Aaron Rodgers is here, it's the Jets, it's the
- 56:31Jets. They were never gonna be good. But Aaron Rodgers was supposed to
- 56:37save the day. And Hackett is basically an Aaron Rodgers fanboy, So yes,
- 56:42you put a lot at his feet too. And because when I saw
- 56:46this story earlier, my mind goes back to hard knocks. Remember the Jets
- 56:52were on hard knocks last year. Yep, before the season even started,
- 56:55and I watched the first two episodes of it, and I still ill,
- 57:00just vividly remember the coaches, especially Sala Salah Hackett. Of course, Hackett's
- 57:09always his fanboy, Sala. Even the defensive coordinator, we're fanboying out because
- 57:17liv Schreiber is the voice of Hard Knocks, and Hackett was over there telling
- 57:23Aaron Rodgers, hey, go introduce yourself, and he says two. He
- 57:28says to Aaron Rodgers he wants to meet Aaron Rodgers fanboy. Then you're in
- 57:34the room. You're They're in the defensive meeting room, and the defensive coordinator
- 57:43was showing a throw that Rogers made in practice and and it was a touchdown
- 57:50pass and the coordinator was like, no one else can make that throw,
- 57:54and we got him, so yes you can. You can put equal arts
- 58:00blame on Salah Hackett and Aaron Rodgers big time. Aaron Rodgers though, fair
- 58:06enough. So do you I think that they're going to turn this? I
- 58:10think I was probably you're too early on this that they can break this streak
- 58:16next year. I think Rogers is going to be a disappointment next year.
- 58:22Again, let's see here real quick, RTI. Well, first let's go
- 58:25to Chris Brooks. Brooksy, try to tell you not to change the phone
- 58:29number. See what you did? So Brooks is blaming the phone problems on
- 58:31the number change. Rtie Love How people bring up DA's mental state, yet
- 58:38Aaron doesn't? Does it darkness retreat or eat mushroom? Does darkness retreats and
- 58:44eats mushrooms? Have people talked a lot about dax mental state? I haven't
- 58:49seen a lot of that. I don't think so. The real unnamed Texter
- 58:52we're talking about practice. See like the Alan Iverson reference right to where I
- 58:58wanted to go. So, man, this story is so fascinating, and
- 59:01that on several levels, because you know, we've watched the n C doua
- 59:05a kind of crawl around here in pop Florida state, going after Miami,
- 59:09going after Florida, now after Tennessee. We saw Charlie Baker. You know,
- 59:15he's he's wanting to push people into this subdivision that he wants to create
- 59:19to control an il and the dollars that come in and and and you know
- 59:22Greg Sank he wants none of this. The big players want none of this.
- 59:25So he has decided that he is going to wage war with his member
- 59:30schools and now he is on the doorsteps of Tennessee. But it looks like
- 59:32you might have been off more than he could chew here. Yeah, and
- 59:37you didn't even reference the part where when this Baker got in there, Jake,
- 59:42I mean, what did he say? He just said, you know,
- 59:45we gotta we gotta have the federal government do something. I mean,
- 59:49how worthless is this guy? I mean, I mean, I have no
- 59:52no knowledge of any inner workings of the n C double A or the federal
- 59:55government, but I could have told you that was that was just not even
- 59:59a hit, Mary, it was. It was worse than that. So
- 1:00:02just total incoonfidence in my opinion of what they're trying to do. They're trying
- 1:00:07to retroactively punish Tennessee for something that was not against the rules at the time.
- 1:00:12And as Tennessee has stated, I mean, it's and as we all
- 1:00:15know there, what are the rules? I mean that it's not even clearly
- 1:00:19defined and it never has been. And at the end of the day,
- 1:00:22I don't I don't think Tennessee's got anything to worry because five years ago,
- 1:00:27ten years ago, they have got pop for this, of course, but
- 1:00:30to my knowledge, they've broken no laws and their NIL spire group is I
- 1:00:36mean, they have done the contract so to speak, so that so none
- 1:00:39of this is even Tennessee related. So just to be clear, is this
- 1:00:45all about a propos a flight for Nico Iamalevo or LoVa? How you pronounce
- 1:00:52his name? Everybody does it differently? Is this about a flight that he
- 1:00:54took on a booster's plane? Is that? Is that what the rub is
- 1:00:59here? No? I think ultimately, and the details are still yet to
- 1:01:05come out fully, but I think what they're trying to get them on is
- 1:01:09just essentially inducement giving an NIL contract to attend the University of Tennessee. Now
- 1:01:15I have seen the contract and it doesn't even stay anywhere in there the University
- 1:01:21of Tennessee. It doesn't mention playing football. It just says wherever you go,
- 1:01:25you know, you get X amount for however long you're there, And
- 1:01:30it goes in a much further detail, but at no point does it say,
- 1:01:32I mean he could have went to Alabama, he could have went to
- 1:01:35Georgia and it would not have affected his deal. Now common sense Tennessee Collective
- 1:01:42signs them they want them to go to Tennessee. I get it. But
- 1:01:45again, that's why there's lawyers, and that's why a sports agency is at
- 1:01:49the top of Tennessee's collective because there's laws and guidelines given and they followed it
- 1:01:57to a t. Michael Braddon on your radio SEC podcast is where you can
- 1:02:00find his work. Of course, find him on x at Michael W.
- 1:02:04Brighton, just search SEC Mike and find his podcast on YouTube, Apple,
- 1:02:07iTunes and several of the platforms as well. Yet, you know, that's
- 1:02:10what's interesting about this. And I always go back to the twenty twenty one
- 1:02:14one sheet, as I call it, just a simple white paper the NCAA
- 1:02:17put out on an il name, image and Lightness and collectives. It's about
- 1:02:21four bullet points. It's very vague giving clearance to this to create rules within
- 1:02:24your state. And now the NC double A, and I like, how
- 1:02:30I know you retweeted it. JD. Pakeul with on three framed it.
- 1:02:34He said, this is not Tennessee versus the NC double A. This is
- 1:02:37college football versus the NCLBLA. This is Charlie Baker trying to strong arm college
- 1:02:42football. And I just don't know that this is going to turn out the
- 1:02:44way he thinks it is. No, No, it's certainly not. Because
- 1:02:49I'll tell you, Jake, if Tennessee is guilty of whatever they're they're saying
- 1:02:52they're guilty of, then every SEC school short of Vankderbilt is just as guilty
- 1:02:58because we all know what's going on behind the scenes. And again, this
- 1:03:02was just this could have all been avoided had they found a way to pay
- 1:03:06the players long ago. But they decided, hey, we're not going to
- 1:03:09pay them, but we'll make it legal to where others can pay him.
- 1:03:13Just you know, don't do it as an inducement. But that's exactly what
- 1:03:16it was, and that's what it is across the board. But again,
- 1:03:20how do you prove that Tennessee's collective is not going to come forth and provide
- 1:03:24that information in the nc double A. Nico and his family's not going to
- 1:03:29come forward and provide that information in the NCUBA. So I think this is
- 1:03:34you've already seen there. The state of Tennessee, the state of Virginia has
- 1:03:37filed lawsuit against the nc double A, and last I checked, Jake,
- 1:03:40the NCUBA is about over in the last ten years of any kind of lawsuit.
- 1:03:45Yeah, yeah, they have not won any of these and I don't
- 1:03:47expect them to do that as well. Hey, let's talk a little on
- 1:03:50the field stuff as we believe it or not. You know, second signing
- 1:03:52days coming up here in a few weeks. Then we've got spring practice coming
- 1:03:55up. I know you on your podcast today had a George Stoya on soonerscoop
- 1:04:00dot com. You know, Oklahoma, we talk a lot about Texas,
- 1:04:03Texas, Texas Texas rightfully, So coming into the SEC, what do you
- 1:04:08expect to see out of Brent Vnables in Oklahoma? You know, they made
- 1:04:11a big jump from year one to two under Venables, but the transfer portal
- 1:04:15has dissected that program a little bit, some coaching changes. How good can
- 1:04:18Oklahoma be in the SEC this year? Yeah? I think potentially it's going
- 1:04:25to be a struggle, Jake, because I like what they have at the
- 1:04:27skill position talent, and I like Jackson Arnold. What little will we seen
- 1:04:31of him? And I know he was an up and down performance in the
- 1:04:33bowl game and the loss to Arizona, but he showed massive potential and by
- 1:04:40all accounts the people that I've talked to there that they think he could be
- 1:04:44you know, the next great Oklahoma quarterback. But as we all know,
- 1:04:47in this league, you could have all that. If you don't have strength
- 1:04:50in the line of scrimmage, you got nothing. And Oklahoma's going to be
- 1:04:55replacing all five on the offensive line. I think that's that's a huge red
- 1:04:58flag. Now they've attacked it via the transfer portal, but they've not really
- 1:05:02gotten any stars, and they're another one that has kind of fallen behind.
- 1:05:08They've lost a key transfer target from LSU, a guy named Lance Hurd,
- 1:05:12who interestingly enough landed at Tennessee. I wonder how that happened, but again,
- 1:05:17maybe that's Tennessee who get sued over that one day too. But they
- 1:05:21are striking out and their collective game, from what I understand, is not
- 1:05:27where you'd think it would be for a college football power, and I think
- 1:05:30that's something that they're significantly going to have to adjust if they're going to compete
- 1:05:35at an elite level in the SEC. So where are you at on Ole
- 1:05:41miss watching Lane Kiffin maneuver. Speaking of maneuvering through the transfer portal, getting
- 1:05:45an A plus everort, it'd be Lane Kiffin now picks up last week two
- 1:05:48offensive linemen from Washington who both guys were you know, full time starters,
- 1:05:53played, you know, a full season national championship game. Now they're coming
- 1:05:56to Oxford. What is your level of with Lane Kevin and what they've been
- 1:06:01able to do even though they lost Quinn Shawn Judkins Ohio State. Where are
- 1:06:04you at with what he's doing? Yeah, I mean you can't be anything
- 1:06:09other than impressed with what they've been doing. But Jake, honestly, they've
- 1:06:13been doing this for several years. They've just kicked it up to another notch.
- 1:06:16And I think the under discussed topic when it comes to Old Miss,
- 1:06:24and for good reason because you get so many headlines with all these transfers coming
- 1:06:28in and a lot of key players coming back. But I think the thing
- 1:06:30that is just not being discussed enough is it's going to be year two under
- 1:06:35Pete Golding at the defensive coordinator position. So again, I don't think Old
- 1:06:41Miss is going to be some elite, nationally great defense, but I think
- 1:06:45if they can take big strides this year with a lot of production returning on
- 1:06:50that side of the ball and a lot of key additions via the transfer portal,
- 1:06:54if they could just shoot up kind of the defensive efficiency rankings maybe twenty
- 1:06:59or third spots. I mean I have gone from saying this is a playoff
- 1:07:02contender to this is a national championship contender, and I think that should be
- 1:07:08the expectation in Oxford right now. Same question for Mississippi State, and obviously
- 1:07:13a different different level of what Jeff Levy has to work with. I mean,
- 1:07:16there's a lot of rebuild going on there in Startville. What has been
- 1:07:19your thoughts of what he has done in a short period of time. Well,
- 1:07:24I've been impressed with their ability to kind of rework the roster via the
- 1:07:28transfer portal as well as obviously a different fashion than Old miss not getting many
- 1:07:33of the elite, high profile type players. But they have reworked the offensive
- 1:07:39line that was a need. They have reworked the quarterback room also via high
- 1:07:45school recruiting in the receiver room, which playing in this Jeff Levy offense,
- 1:07:49that's exactly what they're going to need. And they needed to add speeding athleticism
- 1:07:54to this roster. So I like what I've seen early during the Jeff Levy
- 1:07:59era. Up I still I'm just gonna I don't know what to make of
- 1:08:02them, because Levy's never been a head coach, and the defensive coordinators never
- 1:08:06called defensive plays. I mean this is these are critical positions, particularly for
- 1:08:12an offensive minded head coach. You know, the defensive coordinator hire is going
- 1:08:15to be paramount to his success. And I could sit here and blow smoke
- 1:08:19and say he's gonna be great. I could sit here and say he's gonna
- 1:08:23be awful. The truth is, I don't know, and I don't think
- 1:08:26anyone knows until we see them hit the field this fall. Make sure to
- 1:08:30get him on social media, the platform acts. You can find him at
- 1:08:33Michael W. Bratton and of course go to that SEC podcast dot com.

- 1:10:08Bratt and jumping in talking to SEC football. This whole deal with Tennessee and
- 1:10:13Virginia now against the NC DOUABLEA. It's like Jdpakel said, we'll have to
- 1:10:17get tee him up and get his thoughts on this. If we can grab
- 1:10:20him this week with on three, he said, with a hardcount. JD.
- 1:10:24Pakel. He says, quote, if Tennessee and Virginia win this.
- 1:10:26It means the n C DOABLEA can no longer oversee college sports and NIO enforcement.
- 1:10:31As Pete Nakos also agrees with that as well. Oh, Charlie Baker,
- 1:10:38See this is what you get, and I hate I'm not throwing every
- 1:10:42politician into the same box. But you know there's two there's two groups of
- 1:10:46people that don't have a good track record right now, journalists as a whole
- 1:10:54and politicians. Why don't I bring that up because Charlie Baker is a former
- 1:10:59politician. Where was he mayor? Was he governed? Was he governor?
- 1:11:02Was he governor of mayor Maine or Maryland? Yeah, Maine governor. So
- 1:11:10they come in and they take these jobs and they think they're smarter than everybody
- 1:11:15else, and they're arrogance, just reeks of just incompetence, if that makes
- 1:11:19sense, that they're so arrogant. Was it was it main Massachusetts? Massachusetts?
- 1:11:25I get that, I get the two ms confused. So he's gonna
- 1:11:28come in and he's gonna lay the law down, and he's gonna reinforce the
- 1:11:31n C double A, and he's gonna do this, and he's gonna do
- 1:11:33that, not happening not happening in chief? Should we call him chief or
- 1:11:40hosse? How would you address Charlie Baker because he needs to be addressed in
- 1:11:44a way that he understands it, because nobody's obviously ever got his attention.
- 1:11:47I don't. I don't think this man deserves a hoss. You know,
- 1:11:54hoss can be used. Well, it's mainly negative, as we've discussed,
- 1:11:59but unless you're on you could it could be a term of endearment in some
- 1:12:03circles. So I don't. I only want to give him that credit.
- 1:12:06Wasn't hass on Bonanza? I'll go with that. Oh you never watched Bonanza?
- 1:12:12Okay, I think it was a bonanza. I think it was somebody
- 1:12:14let us know six or one, eight, eight, five, three,
- 1:12:16seven, seven six. So Charlie Baker comes in here he proposed and see
- 1:12:20here's here's why he's going after these teams. Because when he presented this subdivision
- 1:12:28idea several months ago, he thought this was gonna win everybody over. Hey,
- 1:12:32I got this grandiose idea. We've created this new subdivision that you have
- 1:12:36to opt into to see what it's all about. Sounds like a government program
- 1:12:42that's thrown out in Washington that Congress and the Senate have to pass. You
- 1:12:45got to pass it for you know what's in it, that kind of stuff
- 1:12:49like you doctor, keep you doctor, all this stuff like that. So
- 1:12:51he says, you got to you got to get in it first though,
- 1:12:54and we'll show you what's in it. And but he said, it's a
- 1:12:57great deal because everybody's going to make the same thing. Soccer players, football
- 1:13:01players, basketball players, from the quarterback on the football team all the way
- 1:13:06down to the goalie on the soccer team, and everybody in the middle.
- 1:13:10It's gonna be wonderful and everybody's gonna have an opportunity to make one hundred and
- 1:13:13thirty thousand dollars by the time they leave college on top of your scholarships.
- 1:13:17Wonderful. Come on in sec said nye, no thanks, Big Ten said
- 1:13:24nope. And then you got guys like Greg Sankie that said, we don't
- 1:13:28even talk to him. He won't talk to us. He says, oh,
- 1:13:30I'll talk to everybody. Tennessee reached out to him, wanted to talk
- 1:13:35with him. He said, no, I will not talk to you.
- 1:13:39So he talks out both sides of his mouth. He's one hundred percent red
- 1:13:44blooded politician. But he's got his button to crack here, because how do
- 1:13:49you fight The NCAA has no fighting power. I mean, it's it's like
- 1:13:56a paper tiger of sorts going up against the SEC in the Big ten.
- 1:14:01How brazen of an idiot do you have to be to do that? Seriously?
- 1:14:08Also, it kind of continues because you mentioned the politician aspect and what
- 1:14:17is today's politics about. It's about, Well, if it's not something we
- 1:14:25like, as in the politicians, if it's not something a politician likes,
- 1:14:29well then we'll we're gonna try our best to spank you because you win against
- 1:14:35something we didn't support. Charlie Baker, Now you're not a politician anymore.
- 1:14:42You're head of the NC double A. But you went against something the NC
- 1:14:45DOUBLEA doesn't like. So we gotta spank you. And where's proof of that?
- 1:14:49Well, just look at what happened to Florida State. He put them
- 1:14:54on probation. Look what's going on down at Miami investigation, what's going on
- 1:14:59at Florida Investigat what's going on at Tennessee Investigation. So he's mad, he
- 1:15:03is throwing a temper tantrum because his ideas are not being reciprocated as great ideas
- 1:15:09by his constituents, which are the schools of the NC DOUBLEA. They're all
- 1:15:13just looking at him, going nah, so he's mad, So he's gonna
- 1:15:16throw a fit. He's gonna throw a three year old fit and take his
- 1:15:23spaghettios sitting in his high chair and then just throw them all in the face
- 1:15:28of his parents. That's what he's done. He has thrown the spaghettios.
- 1:15:31But what happens when you throw the spaghetios in the face of your parents,
- 1:15:35You get spanked or you better, And he's about to get spanked. Six
- 1:15:41era one eight eight five three seven seven six. That is the Cawbon Maloney's
- 1:15:44text. Nine let's see unnamed texture. You got that right. Politicians and
- 1:15:48some journalists n cuablea stick it. As I've said yesterday, they created this
- 1:15:53through their own mismanagement. But old Charlie doesn't even know the rules. He
- 1:15:59probably he absolutely probably doesn't. Let's see, coming up here an hour number
- 1:16:04three, we'll have Vince Ferreira. We'll get his take on everything. He
- 1:16:09is with a Tennessee Vall Radio network and he will join us at five point
- 1:16:13fifteen. Let's see here real quickly. Let's get louisvill George here for on
- 1:16:19the top of the hour. George, welcome in. Hey, what is
- 1:16:23going on? Man? Another day in Paradise. It is and we're here
- 1:16:27and I'm happy for it. But oh, man, I asked me if
- 1:16:31Christmas in the studio just because what prompted me to call in has nothing to
- 1:16:36do with sports. That has to do with sitting in a hot chair and
- 1:16:44throwing spaghettios. Oh yeah, did you have to eat those things? You
- 1:16:48know? I did. I grew up on some of that. That they
- 1:16:51are nasty, that stuff is nasty. Ugh, And how many times I
- 1:16:58can remember, not me, but little kids. I had four sisters,
- 1:17:01no brothers, babysitting other kids, and literally when they got they throws it
- 1:17:08through the spaghettio, boat, throws the dang spoon and everything else. Wow.
- 1:17:13I don't know it was sports other than Baker throwing his spaghetios, which
- 1:17:17is pretty cool. That's a pretty cool thing you through out there. Here's
- 1:17:23what I don't understand, Jake, And oh, I'll make it quick and
- 1:17:26you can address it on the other side if you want to. So the
- 1:17:30NT double A says by College, the University of Louis Cardinals, Jeff Brubb
- 1:17:34did this, that and the other, and we're doing this. What if
- 1:17:40they just say screw you? Yeah, they absolutely Georgia. I think that's
- 1:17:45uh Georgia. You can hang on. I got I gotta hit the top
- 1:17:46of the hour break and we'll discuss this back in just a bit. W
- 1:17:51R here, guys, pick it where it. We're back with Ja Wemberley

- 1:18:45last hour that SEC podcast. Vince Ferrera, Tennessee Sports Radio Network will join
- 1:18:51us in the next segment. We'll continue talking about this Tennessee and Charlie Baker
- 1:18:57battle that is more of an NC double a verse college football battle. Been
- 1:19:00talking about that. We've been talking Aaron Rodgers and will he make a difference
- 1:19:10next year for the Jets. I've also been pondering taking the Chargers in Jim
- 1:19:14Harball next week at a Maristar for the next year's Super Bowl, because I
- 1:19:18was already out. Why do I feel all of a sudden really good about
- 1:19:23this? I don't no, I don't. I don't think you can.
- 1:19:30Me and d J. We tried to get you in on this over a
- 1:19:33week ago. You wouldn't do it. And now all of a sudden,
- 1:19:38why why? I don't know. It's just, you know, things kind
- 1:19:44of happen, they manifest themselves into existence. That's what Aaron Rodgers would say,
- 1:19:48right, And it just this Jim Harball thing back to the NFL,
- 1:19:54and you kind of helped me here like him or not, Like you said,
- 1:19:59Harball goes the NFL takes over a forty nine ers organization. That how
- 1:20:02long? What was that? How long? Were they in the NFL wilderness
- 1:20:05ten years two thousand and four through the twenty ten season, So six years
- 1:20:14in the wilderness. He comes in drafts Colin Kaepernick looks like a genius,
- 1:20:18turns him into a great quarterback at that point in time, went to the
- 1:20:20super Bowl. And so if he can do that with Kaepernick in one year,
- 1:20:28could he not take Justin Herbert? Who is not Where do where do
- 1:20:33you kind of pigeonhole him in this quarterback conversation in the NFL? Herbert he's
- 1:20:42good, He's really good. I question if he's this virtuoso that we keep
- 1:20:48saying he is. But he's I mean, his head coach has been nonsense,
- 1:20:56a defensive head coach. So I think Harbau can do do some nice
- 1:21:03things with him. Let's see here Boomer Sooner on the Capitol malonneys check sign,
- 1:21:08big government guy doing what government does. If you don't comply, they
- 1:21:12make your life miserable. Absolutely well Beaver said it, And that's just what
- 1:21:15it is. People know that. That's it doesn't matter who you are in
- 1:21:19government. It seems that way. If you don't like what the government says,
- 1:21:25they're gonna squash you. They're gonna silence you be at social media or
- 1:21:29whatever. And that's what Charlie Baker's trying to do here. He is trying
- 1:21:32to arm wrestle the SEC and the big players in college sports. Oh well,
- 1:21:41you don't like my ideas. Now he has not said this publicly,
- 1:21:45but this is him speaking in a different way. You don't like my idea
- 1:21:47of the subdivision, you don't like how I am trying to reform the NCAA,
- 1:21:53then you're gonna be punished. We're gonna come up with some rules inside
- 1:21:58of the again, a document that the n c DOUBA put out that was
- 1:22:01very vague on how to how universities and collectives and everybody in the game could
- 1:22:09work around in the transfer portal and with money, and essentially there were no
- 1:22:14guidelines. There were none. The n c DOUBLEA created this mess, and
- 1:22:21now they're mad about the mess they created. It's it's fascinating. Monkey's writing
- 1:22:29dogs. Chuckles is Charlie's nickname? Who's he? Tomo? Who is?
- 1:22:36Oh? Chuckles? Old Chuckles? Did you say you were reading something on
- 1:22:41it and were talking about j McCarthy. By the way, we kind of
- 1:22:43got off of that just for a minute. You think JJ McCarthy is going
- 1:22:48to be the rising star in the draft this year? No, no,
- 1:22:56well yes, but I termed it as the reach of the year each of
- 1:23:00these. But that, I mean, that does correlate the rising star.
- 1:23:03I just think it's it's a rising that shouldn't happen. Well, let's go
- 1:23:10over here CBS Sports dot Com. This is again you can find mock drafts
- 1:23:16like you can find uh in CAA baseball polls. Right, Caleb Williams one,
- 1:23:24Drake May two, Jaden Daniels three. These are quarterbacks only that's where
- 1:23:30they got unpegged. What if they got Bronck Bowers going to the Jets?
- 1:23:35What if that's all Aaron Rodgers needs. Rogers to Bowers. I think all
- 1:23:41he needs is a tight end. I mean, it's all the Jets need
- 1:23:46to finally win a Super Bowl is a tight end. Just going movier on
- 1:23:54this God, I hope he's listening bo Nicks to the Broncos. Does that
- 1:23:59do anything for you? If that were to happen, I like it.
- 1:24:04I like it. That's now that mock draft they had them just below that.
- 1:24:11JJ McCarthy pick. I don't understand why you would choose JJ McCarthy over
- 1:24:15bow Knicks. Well, you know what with that? I don't know because
- 1:24:19bow Knick's time at Auburn kind of makes me pause for a second. What
- 1:24:25if that just repeats itself? He was two different players at Auburn and then
- 1:24:30Oregon he was, But so what if it just repeats itself? What if
- 1:24:35that happens again somehow your rookie year in the NFL you revert back? There
- 1:24:44is some of that. I gotta credit our good friend Matt Wyatt with bringing
- 1:24:47this up though several several several months ago. You know how bad Missippi State
- 1:24:51offensive offensive line was this past year. That bad offensive line coach Will friend
- 1:24:59who was there was the same offensive line coach that was at Auburn when bow
- 1:25:03Knicks was there, forgot about that. So I wonder if it was more
- 1:25:06about Nicks or the fact that how bad that Auburn offense was and that line
- 1:25:13was, if it wasn't a product of allegedly the offensive line coach, Because
- 1:25:18Auburn and their offensive front, if you go watch film of when he was
- 1:25:25coaching there with bow Knicks there, looked very similar to the train wreck of
- 1:25:30an offensive front. He had a display and startble this past year. Just
- 1:25:36something to think about. But I mean, I get why you would ask
- 1:25:40that. I get why you would ask that. Let's see here, dexter,
- 1:25:44if my Broncos can get Kayleb Williams, don't worry about the or do
- 1:25:50it and worry about the rest later generational talent. Dexter, dexter. If
- 1:26:00the Broncos were to move, I'm just rolling back up here, cause see
- 1:26:02they would have to move from twelve up. How much would they have to
- 1:26:06give up to get Kayler Williams. That's a big move twelve to one or
- 1:26:15two, and you're taking a gamble at two because he's likely coming off the
- 1:26:17board at one. That's that's a big gamble. And also, if you're
- 1:26:24talking about the Broncos, we're talking about Sean Payton. Okay, Sean Payton.
- 1:26:30I don't know this to be a fact, but this is the way
- 1:26:34it just seems to me. Sean Payton seems more of a kind of a
- 1:26:42character guy in the sense that he had Drew Brees. I mean that dude
- 1:26:45had his character was impeccable. We wasn't. He was a good person,
- 1:26:53great person. From everything. Caleb Williams from everything we've been hearing, this
- 1:26:57dude personally as a person is kind of trashy. Is Sean Payton gonna want
- 1:27:02that? If he couldn't put up with Russell Wilson's crap, Is he gonna
- 1:27:08put up with this Caleb Williams who hasn't even done anything, who was a
- 1:27:11college player. Oh yeah, was an excellent college player, dexter, But
- 1:27:15there have been There have been excellent college players just like him in the past.
- 1:27:21Generational talent. Walk that one back. But I don't think it would
- 1:27:27work in Denver. I don't think Sean Payton would want it. Very good
- 1:27:30player, no doubt about it. Best quarterback at least on paper, arm
- 1:27:34talent, all that he's going number one, I'd be shocked. Unless he
- 1:27:38goes to the Combine and maybe the interview process doesn't go like it should.
- 1:27:44He's going on and if his father will stay out of the way because his
- 1:27:46father has been a problem. Carl, that's that's out there. Carl didn't
- 1:27:50want to go, didn't want him to go to the Bears, didn't want
- 1:27:53him to go to the Cardinals. Talked about not giving coming, talked about
- 1:27:57coming back to college, wanted a fifty percent of a team. All this
- 1:28:00kind of stuff like those are things that are red flags that they will discuss
- 1:28:04with him. They will absolutely discuss with him. Possum Nick, Joe,
- 1:28:09I feel some JJ McCarthy bets between Joe and you guys coming on here.
- 1:28:14So is Joe in the camp that JJ is going to be good or not?
- 1:28:18Oh? Joe loves JJ McCarthy. Yeah, he is all in on
- 1:28:23McCarthy now, Joe. But you know what happens if you place a bet
- 1:28:28with Jake Wimberley regarding the football season, You're not gonna get payment. We's
- 1:28:33got to win first. He won the damn Georgia bet last year. No,
- 1:28:38yeah he did? Did he? They finished outside the top five?
- 1:28:42I thought he finished fifth. Depends on what you wanted to look at.
- 1:28:47And Joe was talking regular season, regular season in SEC championship, outside the
- 1:28:55top five. Monkey's Riding Dog says, JJ McCarthy will be the next Kyle
- 1:29:00Leta. What do you think about that? I don't think. I don't
- 1:29:03know if I remember a Litletta. Let's pull this that line and Space Ghost
- 1:29:11doesn't. Caleb Williams want to own part of the team. He gets drafted
- 1:29:14by space Ghast. Welcome to three months ago. Vince Ferreira coming up in
- 1:29:17just a bit borg Okay, we're back. Wordy afternoon, trying jack River

- 1:30:20how's you Wednesday? It's good. It's good. Just catching up on some
- 1:30:25Senior Bowl practice. Tennessee didn't have a big representation there, but they do
- 1:30:29have. Joe Milton at quarterback. Has done a nice job so obviously he
- 1:30:32is so the lightning Ride. A lot of different opinions on him, so
- 1:30:36I'm good, just catching up and just for your listeners six to nine am
- 1:30:41Eastern time, thanks up to eighth Central. So a little bit a little
- 1:30:45bit earlier when I did the show from Saggy Football Media Days, that was
- 1:30:48a tough wake up to get to five am the local. But anyway,
- 1:30:51great to be on with it. Jack, Hey, thank you so much.
- 1:30:54I appreciate the correction. Yeah, I want to come back to Joe
- 1:30:56Milton since you're covering Senior Bowl and such. But this Charlie Baker in C
- 1:31:00Double A a Tennessee story is wild and it looks like kind of take us
- 1:31:05through this and your thoughts on this. It looks like though the n C
- 1:31:09Double A may have betten off more, they can chew here with Tennessee.
- 1:31:12Yeah, there's some of these layers. I'll just try to, you know,
- 1:31:15be general and fly through it. Basically, you had the s story
- 1:31:20from PAS forty. It was kind of you know, it didn't have super
- 1:31:27specifics in it in what the investigation was pertaining to The New York Times.
- 1:31:32You had a follow up and said it's about a private jet flight of Nico
- 1:31:38and you know it could have been from a booster, which the NCAA now
- 1:31:43is sort of trying to redefined a lot of those collectives as boosters, and
- 1:31:49they're trying to retroactively put in punishment and they're starting to go after schools for
- 1:31:56that. So they After that story came out, Donne Plowman, the chancellor
- 1:32:02at the University of Tennessee, she came out with a strong statement saying that
- 1:32:06hey, this, uh, you know, this whole setup is chaotic.
- 1:32:11The guidelines are you know, are just you know, terrible to be able
- 1:32:17to or inconclusive, and some of the the alleged facts, some of the
- 1:32:26points of the investigation are are just actually untrue. And she took a strong
- 1:32:31statement. She tried to She says, they tried to meet with Charlie Baker
- 1:32:33and get him talk about the NIL landscape and what what could do because so
- 1:32:39many of the rules, as everybody knows, is really vague, and they
- 1:32:45couldn't get a meeting with with him. He wasn't available, but they were
- 1:32:48disappointed in that. And then there's so many aspects of it. So then
- 1:32:54the Spire Sports came out. That's the big collective that really has been the
- 1:32:58nation's leader and collectives that they really got the ball rolling and maybe the most
- 1:33:03prominent of all the collectives around the country based here in not so so they
- 1:33:10they came out with a statement saying, look, this the deal was for
- 1:33:16you know, for Nico, not for any specific school. It applied for
- 1:33:21him as a college athlete until he went pro. And plus it's all of
- 1:33:28it is legal based on state rules in California. And that's really a lot
- 1:33:34of where the angst is from Tennessee and from other states too, is that
- 1:33:42you have the NCAA with their set of alleged rules which aren't really rules,
- 1:33:47and they're trying to retroactively and act them. And then what the states are
- 1:33:54allowing varies and is different than a lot of times with the NCAA will.
- 1:33:58So there's some the elements of it. And then today the Attorney General for
- 1:34:03the state of Tennessee and Virginia jointly filed suit against the NCAA for how they're
- 1:34:10handling the the Nile landscape. And and so you know, the governor came
- 1:34:15out and support of it. Cz A D you know, everybody's shimming in
- 1:34:20really in supporting the president of the university. So everybody's in support of this.
- 1:34:26Uh, there's so many more layers to it than I could kind of
- 1:34:30get to just in our convo. But you know, Tennessee is a target
- 1:34:34for the ncaa A because Aspire Sports and now you know how they are.
- 1:34:40The leader of the NCAA is going to show that they have teeth and try
- 1:34:44to keep the pay for play set up. That's the wild wild West right
- 1:34:46now that they're they're going to have to do it against a big schools.
- 1:34:51They do it against somebody from the bottom of them of a group of five
- 1:34:56conference, that's not going to move the needle. They need to bring it
- 1:34:59to one the big schools. That's why you're seeing Florida State, Florida and
- 1:35:01now Tennessee. Really so Tennessee is standing their ground and they're going to defend
- 1:35:05themselves big time. And now you have you know, government and politics and
- 1:35:11involved in it. So I think it's gonna be a's going to be way
- 1:35:16more than what the NCAAA can deal with with everything else they're already dealing with.
- 1:35:20But it it definitely is something to talk about and then we'll continue to
- 1:35:27develop. In one other quick thing that she mentioned, there have not been
- 1:35:30there's not been a notice of allegations submitted to Tennessee, but that is expected
- 1:35:35to come soon from what I've heard legal analysts say. Vince Ferira breaking down
- 1:35:40the Tennessee situation with n C DOAA. When's the edition of the programming shure
- 1:35:43to find him on exit? Vince Sports and the Events, just a comment
- 1:35:46on that. It just feels like, you know, Charlie Baker who came
- 1:35:48out with a subdivision idea and he loft at it to Congress and hey,
- 1:35:53you know, we got this new deal we want you guys to opt into.
- 1:35:55And then you know, Greg Sankie said, hey, look, we
- 1:35:57haven't really taught to Charlie about this, and I'm paraphrasing, and then a
- 1:35:59lot of other big players in college sports said the same thing. So this
- 1:36:02feels like his way of trying to strong arm the you know players, the
- 1:36:05big players in sports, and I don't think it's going to pan out.
- 1:36:09Speak speaking of big players, Joe Milton, you mentioned him Senior Bowl.
- 1:36:13A lot of big quarterbacks in this draft from Kayla Williams, Drake May,
- 1:36:16Jenji McCarthy, will see what he does, Bonnix and Jayden Daniels. Where
- 1:36:23is Joe Milton in this process? I mean he had a nice year.
- 1:36:26It wasn't a great year. We know about the talent, we know about
- 1:36:29the arm talent, never really fulfilled that potential in college. But what are
- 1:36:32you hearing as far as a possible pro route for him. I think he's
- 1:36:38gonna be a middle round pick. Look, there's gonna be some that are
- 1:36:43are are going to see some of the things that maybe help them back from
- 1:36:45making the big plays this year and the offense not being quite as dynamic,
- 1:36:51even though completion numbers, his numbers weren't terrible overall protected the football, So
- 1:36:58it's not like he was a tear quarterback like I've heard some fans that are
- 1:37:01frustrated with him describe him as he just wasn't elite to the level of you
- 1:37:08know what Hendon Hooker was prior to. So there're gonna be some they're gonna
- 1:37:12look at it and say, no, this is not gonna this is not
- 1:37:15gonna work for us. We want to go a different direction. But there
- 1:37:18are others that are going to fall in love with those physical tools. And
- 1:37:21he's not the runner that Anthony Richardson was, but he's still very athletic.
- 1:37:26He's got an even bigger arm and honestly, he won more games with this
- 1:37:31team than Anthony Richardson did. He's a little bit older, so that takes
- 1:37:34him back also. But I think what Anthony Richardson and Frankly on a smaller
- 1:37:39scale, Will Levis was able to do, those were those were arm talent
- 1:37:44guys that impressed in their limited playing time in the NFL. So I think
- 1:37:48some NFL coaches are who feel like their system and their coaching can fix anybody.
- 1:37:55I think there's gonna be enough teams, not everybody, but it was
- 1:37:59going to be you know, least one of them that's gonna feel like,
- 1:38:01hey, I can't pass up on this rare arm strength. We don't have
- 1:38:05to, you know, play him right away, but I think somebody's gonna
- 1:38:10take a you know, flyer on him, third round, fourth round,
- 1:38:13something like that. He is having a very good first two days at the
- 1:38:16Senior Bowl. So how you doing the interviews on the on the you know,
- 1:38:20whiteboard, all that kind of stuff will will go a long way.
- 1:38:25But he's a you know, excellent teammate. I think he's off to a

- 1:40:17Miko Kayler Williams makes me want to change my last name from Williams.
- 1:40:24Hey, do you think well will Miko claim Kayla Williams be if it becomes
- 1:40:28an all pro And what do you think about Joe Milton? Vince says he's
- 1:40:34blowing up down at Singer Bowl. First two days are really good. Huh
- 1:40:40oh No, he was blowing yeah, And he was blowing up before the
- 1:40:45season last year, so now he's blowing up again full me months. He
- 1:40:54is an amazing off season quarterback? Is he not? Can you think of
- 1:40:59any who other great offseason quarterbacks? Can you think of win the headlines in
- 1:41:04the off season? It has been so many, but I don't know none
- 1:41:11are coming to mind. Senior Bowl. You tried to last year at the
- 1:41:15Senior Bowl. You tried to sell me on Beigent. I mean, he
- 1:41:21made it, He's in the league. What are you talking about? Beigent?
- 1:41:26And then who was the jabron from Fresno State? He went to the
- 1:41:32Saints and then he got suspended for peds this year? What was that guy's
- 1:41:38name? So I don't put a ton of stock in the Senior Bowl when
- 1:41:44random quarterback names start coming out. Let's see here, I am trying to
- 1:41:51see where is my list of Senior Bowl quarterbacks. I think Pennix is down
- 1:41:56there? You know who you know who's a great offseason hype quarterback? Right
- 1:42:01now? Who's that Kenny Pickett? We keep hearing about even just the other
- 1:42:08day. We're talking about, well he can turn the corner. He's gonna
- 1:42:10turn the corner next year. Kenny Pickett is a great off season quarterback.
- 1:42:15Who else would you think of? Oh Hayner was the guy Jay Cayner?
- 1:42:24Let me see here, it was hain Thank you right now. And he's
- 1:42:28from Presno. So guys that are at the Senior Bowl. You got Carter
- 1:42:32Bradley, these are quarterbacks only at the Senior Bowl from South Alabama, Joe
- 1:42:38Milton three Tennessee, Michael Pratt Tulane, Spencer Rattler, South Carolina. Do
- 1:42:46you think anybody picks him up? With the way these teams take chances aka
- 1:42:56aka reach Yeah someone, Now, what do you mean pick up? Do
- 1:43:01you mean draft high? Well, I don't think it's gonna get drafted high.
- 1:43:04I mean you're talking about thinking. Remember we forget this guy was a
- 1:43:08preseason talking about preseason number one guy for the NFL draft three years ago before
- 1:43:16Kayleb Williams, there was Spencer Ratler at Oklahoma and he was preseason projected to
- 1:43:21be the number one guy off the board in the NFL. You also got
- 1:43:27Sam Hartman Notre Dame. Down at the Senior Bowl, bow Knicks, Pennix
- 1:43:33and those are kind of your guys there, so you know Pennix is gonna
- 1:43:39get drafted. You would figure two through rounds, first tooth rounds, bow
- 1:43:44knicks as well. Hartman has a chance to be pretty good. I think
- 1:43:48he could be a steal. I'm Spencer Ratler. Michael Pratt at two lane.
- 1:43:57Why does he feel like a guy that could work his way into the
- 1:43:59league that you'll never see play as a backup for ten years? Milton.
- 1:44:05Somebody's gonna take a shot on Milton. Somebody will You'll see you'll be kind
- 1:44:12of hanging out on the second day or third day, or will Milton come
- 1:44:16off the board like day two in the second round, just a surprise,
- 1:44:23somebody just takes a shot at Milton. Big arm, that seems to get
- 1:44:28you drafted. Just say the just keep repeating the words big arm, big
- 1:44:34arm, big arm, big arm, big arm, Jay Cutler, JaMarcus
- 1:44:41Russell, Paxton Lynch. Yeah, big arms, he fits that category.
- 1:44:50Let's see here, Possum Nick Joe senior ball. Now they have juniors participat
- 1:45:00who what juniors? Joe? Don't think they have a Joe what junior?
- 1:45:08Ronnie says don't forget about Levis. Are you buying or selling? Well,
- 1:45:12it's a little too early. I would I sold Levs early. Let's see
- 1:45:15what he does here in the next year or two, Rhino says. Old
- 1:45:18guys like twenty five year old Super Super Seniors Anthony Richardson is still only twenty
- 1:45:25one. Saints take Milton in the fourth round. That's probably gonna be it,
- 1:45:30right, He's probably gonna end up in New Orleans. Let's see possum
- 1:45:35Nick. Joe, Oh, okay, Joe, I had not seen this
- 1:45:40ail dot com. Joe, I know not to doubt you. Senior Bowl
- 1:45:43not changing name despite juniors of the lot of being played, and I was,
- 1:45:46yeah, they do have a couple juniors down there. I'll be good.
- 1:45:50Yeah, Miko, juniors are now eligible. Thank you guys, y'all
- 1:45:55keep me straight. So I was unaware of that. I missed that memo.
- 1:46:00But yet, if they're gonna have juniors, you should have. You
- 1:46:03got to change the name of it. What you got over there, welcome
- 1:46:08to a little while back. What do you mean the juniors and the Senior
- 1:46:12Bowl? That was the thing? Yeah, who said that? Huh you
- 1:46:15said welcome? Oh that's what I said to you, if we're gonna drop
- 1:46:18down space goest that had been a thing you said that today? It was
- 1:46:24quasi. No, it was quasi recently that this was put out there.
- 1:46:28See, I told I don't think you told me. You probably told them,
- 1:46:30Matt. Whyatt, Well, I'm not supposed to have to tell you.
- 1:46:33Jake, you're the leader here. I mean you can't catch it all.
- 1:46:38I mean you can't catch it all. So yeah, should they change
- 1:46:41the name then? Yeah? I thought it was so dumb when I first
- 1:46:44saw that news. Why would you juniors? Now, I guess they've always
- 1:46:50been if they met graduation eligibility requirements. But it's the Senior Bowl. It
- 1:46:59seems self explanatory. Yes it does. Hey, we're brought to you by

- 1:48:42move along here. All right, somebody brought this up and I never even
- 1:48:45thought about this until looking at it. This guy on X named Garrett.
- 1:48:50I don't know who Garrett is, but outlets have been picking this up.
- 1:48:56Super Bowl logos used to be really cool. Now they look like something that's
- 1:49:00been through a dozen rounds of sign offs and approvals from key stakeholders. Have
- 1:49:03you noticed this? I didn't even realize this until looking at like going back
- 1:49:06and looking He lists all the old Super Bowl logos, Like if you go
- 1:49:11back and look at the logos back in the seventies were really creative. Eighties,
- 1:49:19you get into the nineties for the logos, they look really really sharp.
- 1:49:24They've been put like stuff from the cities that they're going to be in.
- 1:49:28But then when you get to about two thousand and six, outside of
- 1:49:33Super Bowl fifty and now this lv's version of the Super Bowl, they're very
- 1:49:44basic. Why are we doing this with super Bowl logos since about two thousand
- 1:49:49and six? No creativity? I guess I'd like to get of these Roman
- 1:50:00numerals because it reaches a point to where you have to stop and think about
- 1:50:08it for a second, like okay, LV, what is that? Okay,
- 1:50:15oh that's this? And then three okay, But it it takes I'm
- 1:50:20not everybody. I'm sure a lot of people are better Roman numerals, But
- 1:50:25you think today in twenty years Okay, you think kids these days who aren't
- 1:50:31learning we're not learning cursive, you think they're learning Roman numerals. Is anybody
- 1:50:38gonna know what Roman numerals are in twenty years for the Super Bowl? One
- 1:50:44of great Now, look I get the Roman numeral deal. They've done it
- 1:50:46forever. Math is a subject that most people fell out anyway, which is
- 1:50:53so funny because you hear all these guys on TV and stuff talking about analytics.
- 1:51:00They can't tell you what a linear equation is. They don't know the
- 1:51:02difference between a variable and a constant, and they're going to try to talk
- 1:51:06to you about analytics. Okay, Nerd, and now we're talking about Roman
- 1:51:11numerals. You're right, I'm offended. I can't tell you what a linear
- 1:51:15equation is. You're lumping me in to your point. They don't know what
- 1:51:20a linear quation like, you know anything. They don't know what anything squared
- 1:51:25is to a certain power is. Yet you think the general public knows what
- 1:51:30the Roman numerals are? That is the unspoken silent. Most people look at
- 1:51:34it and go, I don't even know what super Bowl this really is.
- 1:51:36They're thinking that, but they don't want to say it. Is that right?
- 1:51:42Yeah? So can we get the Roman numerals out? So Betty at
- 1:51:46the super Bowl party next weekend knows exactly why she's eating crock Pot weenies and
- 1:51:54drinking a bad beverage that she knows exactly what super Bowl she's watching. What
- 1:51:58do you think now, Betty doesn't Betty's not gonna know. She didn't care.
- 1:52:02She's worried about one thing. What is that, Taylor Swift? H
- 1:52:06That's what she's worried about. And eventually it's gonna look really dumb because this
- 1:52:11is a long time from now. You'll be dead by then. Oh god,
- 1:52:15but there you go, trying to get me out of here again.
- 1:52:19Let's think we're going to get to super Bowl one hundred. If I remember
- 1:52:24right, Roman numeral for one hundred is a C. AM, I right
- 1:52:29on this. You're in a fact check me if I just do that,
- 1:52:30and I'm gonna feel so dumb. It is a C. That's gonna look
- 1:52:33so stupid super Bowl C. It is, it really is? And how
- 1:52:42do you make a logo with that? By the way, that's gonna be
- 1:52:45the worst logo ever, It really isn't it. Like let's just see here,
- 1:52:51let me look at this chart real quick. Let's just go and let's
- 1:52:55to your point. So we're in the fifties, sixties. We can do
- 1:52:59some l and some x's and some v's. We can do this all the
- 1:53:02way to ninety. When you get to Super Bowl ninety, I won't be
- 1:53:09here then either it's x C XC one all the way through. And then
- 1:53:15yeah, but like super Bowl eighty eight is L xxx v III. See
- 1:53:25that's too much, It's way too much. All right, let's see here,
- 1:53:30Pooky brock Osweiler was a huge bust. Yes he was, mister d
- 1:53:38X. What's Beaver's Super Bowl score prediction? You go hit that earlier?
- 1:53:42Wait till next week. Forty nine ers, thirty three chiefs, twenty six
- 1:53:50say that again, thirty three, twenty six, twenty six dexter. Now
- 1:53:57I'll backtrack on this. If it happens, if the Bears pass on him
- 1:54:00and the Commander's pass on him, that means the character issues are concerned.
- 1:54:03Yes, If Kayleb Williams, for whatever reason, let's just say Drake Mays
- 1:54:06taking number one and let's say Jaden Daniels is taking number two, then you
- 1:54:12know there's problems. Then you know Dexter is absolutely right. Hees thisay iss
- 1:54:15fun fact there has only been seven repeat super Bowl championships, and AI people
- 1:54:25will be watching super Bowl one hundred. He's probably right. Will any real
- 1:54:29humans be watching super Bowl one hundred or will it all be robots and AI
- 1:54:32people. It's eventually we're gonna get you know, we always make the joke
- 1:54:39about terminator sky Net's gonna happen all that. But let's think to the movie
- 1:54:45I Robot with Will Smith. Everyone owned a robot, so it'll be like
- 1:54:51that. You'll be sitting there with your robot, but after the game they're
- 1:54:56gonna turn on you. So yeah, you make a good point though,
- 1:55:00like at some point we got these Roman numerals out of here because we're at
- 1:55:04fifty eight, isn't that right? Yeah, so fifty nine is LIX sixty's
- 1:55:12lex and then down the road you go here, how much of the general
- 1:55:16populace I think really doesn't know what Super Bowl it is? I wmist say
- 1:55:19well over fifty percent that they have to look it up thirty so you're going
- 1:55:29less than fifty then, But I do think they have to stop and think
- 1:55:34about it for a second. So I got to think back to grade school
- 1:55:39for Roman numerals. Let's see here real quickly. Brett McMurphy reports Boston College
- 1:55:46coach Jeff Hatley leaving Boston College to become Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator. Haley
- 1:55:51was twenty two and twenty six and four seasons, including the three seasons of
- 1:55:57ball eligibility. But Stuart Mandel on this, and there is something to this,
- 1:56:00he says, for the last two or three years, there's been constant
- 1:56:03speculation of college coaches fed up with NIO and portal and would start trying to
- 1:56:09jump to the NFL. Jeff Hatley giving up a Power five head coaching job
- 1:56:13to be an NFL coordinators most clear cut example today. Yeah, without him
- 1:56:16coming out and saying it's it would seem that way. As as such,
- 1:56:21Barrett's Lee on this as well. College coaches leaving for lesser jobs in the
- 1:56:25NFL will become much more common in the new era. Haw. They won't
- 1:56:29be a loan. There will be many more. There will be, but
- 1:56:31there's only so many jobs, right, There's thirty two NFL teams, so
- 1:56:36and coaches are I mean, you know again, this is going to have
- 1:56:40to be addressed it's believe it or not, getting addressed as we move.
- 1:56:44But move along down this Nile road. I'll hit this tomorrow where the top
- 1:56:55ten Florida recruits signed this year. Get or mad at? Not many with
- 1:57:00your gators, Not many with your gators. Remember, catch up is king
- 1:57:03Bacon's a delicacy. Aloha means goodbye. Appreciate Michael Brandt and Vince Rare.
- 1:57:10I appreciate you guys. We'll see tomorrow. Good night,
