  Speaker 1: NFL kicks off tonight and we are loaded today. Jerome
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Bettis going to join us. Bijan Robinson and Justin Jefferson
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: going to join us. In hour number two, we are
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: stacked today. Seahawks and Patriots tonight kicks off the 2026
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: NFL season.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And we'll get to that in just a second. Taylor
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: has been sitting on a take.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He's upset he did not deliver this take yesterday, and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: he wants to deliver it right now as we get
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: ready for the NFL season. I'm not certain if it's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: an NFL take. Mikey, are you aware of the take
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that he's been sitting on here?
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: No, but Taylor gave me a take before the show
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: and I've just been mad at him ever since.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: And I don't think that's the take you're referring to.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: But I've just been sitting here stewing about it. Like
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I I'm, I'm angry with him.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So he has two takes. Cause I believe this is
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: not the take that angered you. So let's get to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the first take here, Taylor. What do you have for us?
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: After watching Florida state SMU and seeing Florida state be
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: three and 14 in its last 17 ACC games, It's
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: harder to be this bad at Florida State than it
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: is to be this good at Indiana.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: I like that take.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Is it harder to be
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this bad at Florida State? than it is to be this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Good at Indiana.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Because those results that I just read, those are Purdue-level numbers.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: They're Northwestern-level numbers. You're Florida State. You're sitting in the
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: middle of one of the greatest recruiting states in America.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: You have a national brand, championship history, an enormous fan base,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: and your result is paying Ashton Daniels a reported $ 800, 000
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: in NIL to be your quarterback. I wouldn't take Ashton
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Daniels on my roster if he paid me $ 800, 000.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll. What's his name? Ashton what?
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Ashton Daniels.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: If Ashton Daniels paid you $ 800, 000.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Would you take him? Just put it on the poll,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: just like that. What do you have, Mikey?
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: This feels like Stu Gotts going 0 for 17 picking games.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: That's how Florida State, how bad they've been.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: It's almost like It's a mixture of luck and being
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: bad that gets you as bad as they are.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: You have to actively work to be this bad at
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Florida State.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. They were in the title game, weren't they, a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago? Yeah, but.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: The fall off needs to be studied for this Florida
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: state team for other college powerhouses to be like, what
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: do we do to not replicate what Florida state did?
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: And I think the simple answer is not recruit a
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: quarterback in Ashton Daniels, who was six and 21 as
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: a starter between Stanford, Auburn, and now Florida state.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Or have Mike Norvell as your coach, right? I love
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Mike Norvell. You do, but you don't. He should be fired, but.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You can't say that you love a guy and he
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: should be fired at the exact same time.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: No, because this is like separating the artist from the art.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: I'm separating the person from the football coach. I love
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Mike Norvell, the person.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Great person. Yeah, great.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: The coach leaves a lot to be desired.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: The coach was the toast of Tallahassee two years ago.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: And nothing has gone right since.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Ashton Daniels. Funny.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the take that upset Mikey. Who wants
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to deliver this take?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Taylor's going to deliver because I won't even spit it out.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: So tonight's the NFL kicking off. My Patriots are in
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: a Super Bowl rematch against the Seattle Seahawks.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry to say this. I'm watching on the TV
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: right now Liverpool play in their Champions League.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: I'm more excited for Liverpool's Champions League campaign kicking off
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: right now against Atletico Madrid than I am for the
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: NFL tonight.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Are you really? Because I wanted to talk tennis.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Because last night I was up until 3.30 in the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: morning watching.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: What was perhaps the greatest tennis match of all time.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And you won't let me talk tennis. And now you've
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: dragged me into Liverpool.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: That Tiafoe match might've been the second. It was the
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: greatest tennis match of all time. Tiafoe coming back down
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: two sets.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: It was the greatest tennis match of all time for like.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no. This is my Christmas Eve.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: You guys are not going to take this from me
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: by talking about tennis and soccer.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: No, this is my time.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: OK, I'm just making a larger point. I wanted to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: start today with tennis. You guys said no. And somehow Taylor,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: who was one of the two of you who said no,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: has dragged us into soccer talk. You want tennis talk now?
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: It's Christmas Eve. It's Christmas Eve. And me and Stu
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Gatz are over here trying to celebrate Halloween.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the U.S. Open is my Christmas Eve. I mean,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Francis Tiafoe, that match against Mickelson started when we were here.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: We were here, Mikey. We were here doing the show.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I got home.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: The sun was coming down and Tiafoe was still hitting
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: four hands.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Stu, when I turned that gate, when I turned that
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: TV off yesterday before the, the Shelton Alcaraz match, I
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: was tennised out the Tiafoe Mickelson. I said, there's no
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: way the next match could be better than the match
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: I just saw.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: So let me turn this off and let me turn
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: on the Yankee game. Right. And then apparently I missed
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: an all time class.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Well, there wasn't because you missed a woman's quarterfinal match,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: which was a good match on a great match. It
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was the match right after Tiafoe. That was Emma Navarro.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: She lost to Pagoula. Pagoula, an American, is now in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the semifinals. Mikey is so upset. And then the Alcaraz
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: match happened and Ben Shelton beat him in five sets
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: at three thirty a.m.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: In the morning.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Greatest match I've ever seen. I watched the entire match.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm exhausted today. Mikey, so that's the take. It's the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: soccer take that upset you, huh?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Yes because you're right we both did say no to
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: you talking tennis you did even though you just squeezed
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: that in thank you and i thought i had an
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: ally in taylor i thought me and taylor were going
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: to be a hand in hand no no no we're
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: going to walk into this nfl season which starts tonight
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: we are going to do this together we are not
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: going to let stu gots derail us and then taylor
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: hits me with liverpool and i'm just i'm i'm beside
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: myself with how mad i am about.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not derailing you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We have Jerome Bettis, Bijan Robinson, and Justin Jefferson on today.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: And just to be clear to Mikey, I'm not trying
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: to talk about this Liverpool match. Maybe some platform would
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: let me talk about Bradley Barkola getting his first start
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: for Liverpool in a Champions League match.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: You're talking about it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: This is the platform, yes.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: And if you told me I could only watch one,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Liverpool versus Atletico Madrid or the NFL game tonight, yes,
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: I would pick the Liverpool game. But luckily, I don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: have to make that choice.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: I live in America. I could do both things.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Can I just say, you're saying all this while wearing
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: a Patriots logo right in the middle of your chest,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: claiming your best friend, Matt Collins, is playing on the team,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: and you would rather watch Liverpool and Atletico Madrid or whoever.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: The hell it is.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: It's a big match.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Instead of talking about your... I'm using air quotes for
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: those who can't see me. Favorite team, the New England Patriots,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: try and get revenge against the Super Bowl champion, Seattle Seahawks,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: led by our former quarterback, Sam Darnold. And you would
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: rather talk about soccer. That's what you're telling me.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: In fairness to Taylor, no one cares about the Seahawks.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: What do you do?
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: You do this with Seattle all the time.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: What am I doing?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: You want Liverpool.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: No, no matter what Seattle team we talk about.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: You always do.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: This thing where you're like, nobody cares about Seattle. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: then I'm left with the consequences of that where people
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: from Seattle are messaging me saying, why does Stu always
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: blast Seattle at every chance he gets?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not blasting Seattle. It's a lovely place. I've been there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I've been there several times. I love it. It's wonderful.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: It's beautiful. It's fantastic.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I've been to the Gorge. I've gone to see concerts
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. I've gone to the Gorge for Dead &
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Company shows. My college roommate, Chris Gordon, is from Seattle.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I love the city.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Gordo.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Gordo. How'd you know?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Because there's only one name that can be somebody.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Like that, and it's Gordo.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: It's Gordo. Yes.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So I love Seattle. Just nobody cares about the sports
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: in the great Northwest.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, nobody.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Nobody.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Listen, the NBA doesn't care about him.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: They have one of the most exciting teams in the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: history of the NBA with the Rain Man, Sean Kemp,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and the Gloved Gary Payton, and they.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Moved the team. I mean, what do you want from me?
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: I'm going to extend an olive branch to Mikey A.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: We could talk Patriots, Seahawks. Mikey, Travion Henderson, sideline. Let's
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: get all your thoughts out that Travion Henderson, the Patriots'
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: star running back.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Is out for this contest. That's not fair to Mikey.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: He's just excited that we have football, and it starts tonight.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: That's it. Yes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: First off, if you want to talk about Travion Henderson
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: being out, don't listen. You would do this to me
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: with the NBA. You could do this to me with soccer.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: You could even do this to me with baseball. You
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: cannot do this to me with the NFL. I will
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: tell you how Ramondre Stevenson better have lost those fumble
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: issues because right now, Travion Henderson being out is the
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: best thing to happen to him.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Let's go, Taylor.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I am glad that the Patriots got the Christian Gonzalez
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: contract done before tonight because I didn't need the unnecessary
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: drama or Or distraction hanging over the team. Four years,
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: $ 135 million, making him the highest paid defensive back in
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: NFL history.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Deserves it. Does he?
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: I think he deserves it. At least Mikey doesn't.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: How many cornerbacks can you name that are better than him?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Just off the top of your head. Sertan would be one, right?
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Stingley. I can name three.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Who's the third? Stingley is another one, yes.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I I'm going to say sauce Gardner.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: But the problem is you have a Christian Gonzalez already
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: on your roster, and he's their first round draft pick
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: to sign a second contract with the team in the
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: past 11 years. Donta Hightower was the last one.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: If you are the New.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: England Patriots, you draft a guy like Gonzo to eventually
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: give him a second contract. We could debate where he
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: is in terms of top cornerbacks. If he's a top
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: five cornerback, you pay that top five cornerback to stay
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: with your franchise.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: And no disrespect to Seattle the way Stu does. I
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: forgot Devin Witherspoon, who's also playing in this game. He's
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: probably better than Christian Gonzalez.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: That's why I forgot him. He plays in Seattle.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: I understand.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: And you know what?
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: We just did that whole thing where we were crushing Stupors,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: and then I just went ahead and did it and
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: forgot about them.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I apologize, Seattle.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Devin Witherspoon's up there, too.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: To the great people of Seattle, I am not crushing
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you or your city. I'm just saying nobody cares about
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: your sports teams.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: And I'm right.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: I cared about Ken Griffey Jr.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: Ricardo just gave me an emphatic.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: And the unit, the big unit. Wow. Yes.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: No, they've had some great teams. I'm just saying nobody
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: cares about it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: That's all. I mean, come get me Seattle.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Seriously.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I ain't afraid of you.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Both of you.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Mikey, I am so sorry that we started. It is
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: your Christmas.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: My Christmas Eve.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And in the stockings was tennis and a soccer conversation.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: It's a big one for Liverpool.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Gotta get started on the right foot.

• 11:57
  Speaker 1: We'll get to do me a favor. Taylor has his
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: college football week two tears as well. I want to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: ask you guys a question real quick here. Does it
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: bother you? We have Texas-Ohio State coming up this weekend.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: A monster game. But does it bother you at all?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Because I maintain that college football had it right to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: begin with.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Their regular season meant something. These games meant something.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Does it bother you guys at all that Texas-Ohio State,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: while still meaningful, doesn't mean the same that it used
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to mean? Because you have to figure both teams win
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: or lose. Both teams are going to make it to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a 12-team playoff, don't you?
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: You would think that, but the season in the SEC
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: is so long where if Tex— Ohio State could afford
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: a loss in this game. I don't think Texas can
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: because you're looking at a gauntlet of an SEC schedule.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: It's hard to see Texas getting through pretty flawlessly. But
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: I do think there's an element there, Stu, where I
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: miss the days of college football where if you lost
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: in week one, if you lost in week two, that
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: was it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Pack it up.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: Your season's over.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, right. We don't have that anymore.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And therefore, this game, while a big game, again, a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: big game, I have to think that both teams have
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a pretty good shot of making it to a 12-team playoff.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: It's not an elimination game. I missed that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I don't miss that at all.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know why you would want your season to
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: be over in week one or two. This is going
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: to be one of the best games of the year,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: at least on paper. Give me that every week if
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: I can get it. I don't want to just sit
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: there and go, well, I guess this is an elimination game.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: I like that it puts a team on notice. Like
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: if you lose this game, you can't lose again. Now
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: we're going, if you lose twice, you're out. But no,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: absolutely give.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Me this game.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: There is a good part of it where you have
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: teams that are more willing to play these big matchups
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: early in the season. But, Mikey, there's something almost romantic
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: about college football where the whole offseason you spend wondering,
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: is my team going to be good? Is my team
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: going to be bad? Do I have a quarterback? Is
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: my coach going to get himself on the hot seat?
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: And you go into week one, that ball is about
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: to kick off, and you have such high expectations.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: And then by the end of that game, your expectations
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: are over and you're just thinking about when is the
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: next offseason.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: You're thinking about the holiday bowl.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, why would you want to ruin your entire fall?
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Why would you want to ruin it?
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: As a North Carolina fan, I go into every season
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: optimistic and then that ball gets kicked off and I go, well,
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: best case scenario is we end up in the Belk Bowl.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: You'll take the bulk bowl right now it's not the.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Bulk bowl anymore it's the duke's mayo bowl.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry uh so mike yeah i'm not trying to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: take the game away from you i'm just saying these
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: games have less meaning than they've ever had that's all i'm.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Saying yeah but if you're texas or ohio state why
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: even schedule this game if i lose and i'm done
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: right why.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Would you even consider.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: It um Because you want to play somebody good?
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: No, I don't.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: I'd rather go– if the situation is I lose and
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I'm done, then I don't want to play anybody good.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I want to play Northwestern State, the demons, and just
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: play them 13 times a year.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Right, beat them 80-6 on a late field goal. They
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: get their sixth point.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: But what you have to be careful about in this
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: new era is you have Sark basically saying what Mikey said,
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: like last year, if we didn't play Ohio State, we
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: find ourselves in the playoffs. Let's go schedule cupcakes. I'm
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: pretty sure that's what Rutgers thought when they were scheduling UMass.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, you see, that's what UMass thought. Yes,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it was a great question by you. We love that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: we have access to Spags. He's a friend of mine.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Did you see how he lit up? He didn't light
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: up about anything else other than your UMass question.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: He said great question. It wasn't. It was just something
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: he was interested in. He loved it. All right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Taylor has college football week two tears. How do you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: want to do this here, Taylor?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 15:57

  Speaker 6: This is Taylor's Tears on a Tuesday.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: All right. Tears on a Tuesday.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Love a good drum line.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I keep saying week two. It was week one. That
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: week zero thing continues to throw me off. I hate it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Get rid of it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: So my first tier.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: We're about to find out who's who.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: This is the who's who tier. The who's who tier.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: A very important tier here. We find out who's who.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: What do you have for us?
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I have four teams in the who's who because they're
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: playing each other.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Kentucky with their new coach, Will Stein, playing Alabama. We're
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: going to find out who's who.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Kentucky had a good recruiting class. They did well in
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the transfer portal. Kentucky's a sneaky good team. So you're
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: saying we're going to find out if Kentucky's for real,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: or is that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: A different game?
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: For real, games are a bit different. This is just
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: more so a who's who game.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, so who's who. So we're going to find out.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: What are we finding out? If Alabama's good?
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: We're going to find out if Alabama's good. We're going
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: to find out if Kenny Minchies could be this SEC
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: player of the year type quarterback in Kentucky.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm sorry, Mikey.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Stu, we're going to find out who's who.

• 17:03
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you heard the name of the tier.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: My bad.

  Speaker 5: We're going to find out who's who.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: All right, there are four teams in it. Kentucky and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Alabama are two of them. I'm sorry, Mikey.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: You are right.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Thank you for correcting me. Let's keep it moving.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: The other two teams in the who's who tier. texas
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: and ohio state.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Wow the game that shouldn't be played i mean.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: This is big time redemption game for archie manning.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah not so sold on arch you gotta be honest.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: I mean the last half of the season he was
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: the best quarterback.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: In college football prove it to me i mean do
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it for a whole year do it against ohio state
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: do it from the start of the season do it
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in week two in a who's who game how about
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that huh all.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Right my next tier yeah Good loss.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, the good loss tier.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Okay. I like this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: I have a good loss.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: One team in the good loss tier from this week.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: The Louisville Cardinals.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: That was a good loss. They lost to Mississippi.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: It was a close game, but you saw, we all
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: saw the entire country saw that Louisville is a playoff
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: worthy team.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: And they have a quarterback.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes. They can sling it. Yes. Former Ohio state guy, right? Yes. Yes.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Unless Stugatz got his way and then they're already out.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: So that was the one good loss tier.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: The next tier.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It was a good loss. As far as losses go,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: it was a great loss. They showed in a loss
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that they are indeed for real.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: So that was the good loss tier. The next tier
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: is the great loss tier. Ah, the great loss tier.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Okay. I love this. A GL. Go ahead. I guess
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: they're both GLs. Go ahead.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: The great loss tier. The Western Michigan Broncos.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, what?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: That's a great loss. Is it a great loss?
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: No, that's not a great loss.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: It's a game they thought they won. They ended up
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: losing on a technicality. I mean, I had no idea
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that we're looking at a different clock than the referees are.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a good loss.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: It's not a good loss.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: It's a great loss.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: It's a great loss. I don't know if that's a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: great loss. What is that great loss going to do
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: for them?
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Absolutely nothing. I disagree with this tier.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: It's his tier, though.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: The next tier.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Yes. Hot garbage. Michigan.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: A lot of teams in the.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Hot garbage tier.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Our most loaded category so far. I'll run through all
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: the teams in the hot garbage tier.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: That can't be a great loss for Western Michigan. That
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: would have been the biggest win in the history of
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that football program. And it was taken away from them
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: by the referees. And no one seems to care. The
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: fans care more than the Western Michigan coach, AD, fan base,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and the entire team.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I'm confused by it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: According to Heather dennich the mac is appealing the loss really.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: Because it was a great loss might get flipped.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Why would you appeal it if it's a great loss though.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: Because it was so great it should be a win would.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: It be a good win or a great win.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, it would be the best win in program history.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Right. Well, that's convenient. Wait, so the conference.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: I think this loss for Western Michigan is better than
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: any win they've ever gotten as a program.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: The Mac has issued a statement saying it is now
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: evident that replay protocol was not properly followed during the
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Michigan game. The league has submitted formal appeals to the
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: NCAA FBS Oversight Committee and the CFP asking they recognize
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Western Michigan as the actual winner.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Of the game. I vote yes. But here we are
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: playing sports in a courtroom again. I mean, it's unbelievable.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Hail to the Victors was about Western Michigan.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Was it?
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely not. It's Michigan's fight song, but it
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: should be hail to the victors, Western Michigan, the Broncos.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Hot garbage tier.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Oklahoma State, Florida State, and everything that was in that
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Baylor and Auburn game.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Including Wagway.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: I finished that game, and it was an exciting finish because...
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: You have the two-point conversion. Baylor goes for two in
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: the win. Lagway throws it behind him. They fall like
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: a half inch short. And when that game ended, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: was like, great finish, but I wish I could get
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: my like three hours back that I watched this game.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Yes. Put it on the poll, Taylor.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: When a ball is thrown behind a wide receiver, do
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you know it's DJ Lagway playing quarterback?
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: Then I have one team in my contender tier for
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Just one.
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Who do you got don't say it don't say.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: Don't you dare notre dame wow okay i love this
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: notre dame.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: They look good in those bad uniforms they did yeah every.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Other team i don't mention is in my jury still
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: out and then the final tier today the best team
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: these two eyes have ever laid.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Eyes on oh i know that is who's that LSU,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: go Tigers. He loves them. Go Tigers. He loves them.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: One trip to Death Valley. Actually, his third, as we
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: learned today. And he loves the Tigers.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Roll Tigers.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to do me a favor. We
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: have less than two minutes here. What happened there, Mikey?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: What did I do? Roll Tigers.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: You said roll Tigers.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm tired, man. I'm sorry, man. Football
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: started and I'm exhausted already. Go Tigers. Do me a favor.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Leave me alone. Do me a favor.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: The guy who plays golf and afterwards he's in the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: parking lot and feels the need to take his golf
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: shoes off and clack them together to get the dirt
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and the mud out.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Do me a favor. Stop doing it. You're annoying.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: We get it. We got you. You played golf. You're
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a golfer. You played so well. You have to get
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the mud out of your shoes and your spikes before
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you go home.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Do me a favor.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: They invented a machine for that. Stop doing it and
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: doing it so loudly that it annoys me trying to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: get a peaceful moment in the golf community's parking lot.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Enough.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Do me a favor. Knock it off.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: I'll go next.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Do me a favor. It's fantasy football season, okay?
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: You don't need the whole clock to make your pick, okay?
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: We all know you're going to take Jameer Gibbs or
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Bijan Robinson.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: You don't need 90 seconds to pick your kicker in
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: the last round.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: Do me a favor. Speed this thing up, okay? Know
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: what you're going to do.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: I like that one. That's a good one.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Have a plan. Be ready. Go ahead, Taylor.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Davo Sweeney?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Do me a favor. Mm-hmm.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Quit.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: Save us some time. We know how this ends. You've
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: won too much at Clemson to go out this sad.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: Just quit.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: But there's $ 55 million at stake.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Just get fired.
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: It's Stu Gotts and Company. Sal Licata, you're hanging out
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: with the boys today, and I can't wait to get going.
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: After yesterday, we tried to get it going, give us
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: some opinion there. The connection wasn't working.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: We're back.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: No, Stu, we're back. You can hear me right, right?
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: We're good to go?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can hear you. You sound great. You are great.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: You texted me yesterday after the show. bleeping embarrassment. I
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: knew you were going to take it home with you.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I told you not to take it home with you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not mad at you. Taylor is.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: We'll play what happened after you left the show yesterday
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: for you in just a minute, but everything went to hell.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: So thank you.
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: Well, we appreciate you having me back because I wasn't
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: so sure. And I do want to say, Stu, I'd
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: be remiss if I didn't bring this up to start
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: the show, not to be a downer here, but it
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: is the 25th anniversary of September 11th and the senseless attacks. Also,
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: I am broadcasting live from the SMY studios, which is
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: at Four.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: World Trade Center.
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: So, you know, an hour before the show, I'm looking
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: outside and I could see where the towers were and just.
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: Trying to take it in.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: It's just it's hard to fathom what went on that day.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Hard to comprehend the thought process of the people that
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: ran up that building or those buildings and tried to
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: save lives. And obviously we know what happened. And then
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: sports eventually brought us back to some normalcy. You know, Piazza,
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: Home Run, all that stuff. But I just want to
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: make sure that people are aware that we will never
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: forget and honor and think of those that lost their
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: lives on that senseless day.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: It's a good job by you, Sal. I lost a
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: friend that day, John Salerno. It's a tough day, a
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: difficult day. Every year I'm thinking about it. This year
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: obviously resonates more for a lot of people. And there
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: are still people dealing, of course, and they'll be dealing
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: with it for the rest of their life, the aftermath
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of 9-11. Whether it was first responders, whether it's, you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: families of the victims, it is still something that is
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: haunting us until this day.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: 25 years.
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: Hard to believe. But we never forget. And also, we
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: know that sports played a part in healing, like we said,
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: with the country. And football in full-fledged here now. You
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: get two games under our belt week one. My biggest issue, Stu,
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: I love football. God bless football.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: All that stuff.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: I love it. But football now.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: It's like the week one, week.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: Two, even week three, it's like preseason. And yet we
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: get this overreaction. Like now the Rams stink. The team
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: that everybody had consensus, oh, nobody's beating the Rams.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Look at them.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: They're loaded, the super team.
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: Now they're left for dead at the hands of the
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: Niners because they lost week one in Australia.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: The overreaction is nuts.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I love the overreaction.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: In fact, I was thinking today that Aaron Donald should
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: demand a trade to the 49ers. I mean, how about that?
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It's what we do, Sal. There's 17 of these things.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: They're so precious. They mean so much to so many people.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: It's why it's our most popular sport that I'm okay
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: after a single game in Melbourne, Australia.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Weird pronunciation. I am okay.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That people feel like the Rams are overrated and maybe saying, hey,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you know what? I didn't know the Niners are going
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to be that good. You know, I'm all right with that.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: OK, I love reacting to week one. And obviously the
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: games mean something. But, you know, the way that preseason
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: is basically non-existent now.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: You can see it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, I thought McCaffrey was hurt last night.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Where is he?
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: They're going with the backup running back. Where is he?
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: It's because it's essentially a preseason game. So the teams themselves,
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: we as broadcasters or whatever you want to call us,
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: sports talk guys, talking heads, we're trying to come up
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: with opinions and give reaction and all this stuff. And
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: we could say, well, it doesn't feel right. Because of
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: the way the preseason used to be compared to where
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: it is now. It doesn't feel like they've got to
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: take time to get going. We don't know what these
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: teams are. But for them themselves to be figuring it
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: out early on, that is telling.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: I do think that there is.
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: An evaluation that takes place, even though it means something
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: and we all love it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: The first three or four weeks is kind of evaluating.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: That flight to Australia looked like it aged Matthew Stafford
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: a decade. Sal, I know you don't want the hot.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Takes right now.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: If you told Sean McVay he could replace Matthew Stafford
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: today with Josh Allen, but he had to walk to Buffalo,
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: how fast do you guys think he would get there?
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: You're talking about Josh Allen. What about Brock Purdy or
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, he'd do that today.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you right now, I know you
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: hate the overreaction, but if Sean McVay, if he was
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: being honest, okay, in an honest moment— And they asked him, hey,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you could have Purdy the rest of the way or
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford the rest of the way.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: He would say Brock Purdy or he'd be lying. Okay.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: You guys are out on the Rams already and Stafford already?
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: I think the Niners are good, but I can't say
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: I can't say I'm going to be just same thing.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: Drake Mays like Drake May gets ripped. He played a
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: bad game. Hey, guess what?
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: It happens.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: You'd rather have it happen in week one than week
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: 16 or 17. So I and now it's the same thing.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: All Rams. Everybody loved them. Miles Garrett stinks.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: I was not aware of the knee injury, by the way.
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: He was an MIA and now he's using the knee
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: injury as an excuse.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I hate that.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: I think both teams that lost so far, whether it
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: be the Patriots or the Rams.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: Still are going to be very, very good this year.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: But Sal, don't you want like this is the NFL
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: is built for sports fans. It's built for people like
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: me and you. OK, you can't break down 162 baseball games.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: because most of those baseball games are fairly meaningless in
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things. You can't do it in
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the NBA with 82 NBA game. You just can't do it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And you're certainly not going to do it in hockey.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Don't you want fans to be so passionate about something?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And this is the sport they're passionate about because there
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: are 17 games. They all mean so much. They are
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: so precious. Again, you're only playing 17. You need to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: win as many as you can to get to the playoffs.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: And I love that fans are irrational, but they're passionate
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: about about the NFL, meaning I have fired a Jets
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: coach and hired back that same Jet coach in a quarter.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I have gotten rid of my quarterback, and the next
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: week my quarterback is the greatest quarterback in the NFL.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: I think that's what makes the league so magical. I
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: really do. I guess.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: So then don't– the irrational– and look, fans are irrational.
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: Certainly I know that.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I am one.
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: But I'm trying to remain level-headed, especially– with the NFL
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: being what it is in the early weeks.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: Like, I don't know. I mean, really, nobody knows. But
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: you could pick teams.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: And think, oh, this team's going to the Super Bowl
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: or I love this team in the division. I really
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: need to watch three weeks before I can say, okay,
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: this is it. Where I used to be able to
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: do what I felt, at least, in preseason because you
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: get a little bit better feel. There's a great unknown.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: It's names on paper that we haven't seen, literally have
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: not seen. Wait, name of the stars who played in
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: the preseason.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: It doesn't happen.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: They barely play. Right, it doesn't. Yeah, no, I understand.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: That's my point. Look, obviously I love when fans react
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: to everything. I just, me personally, if I believe the
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: Rams are good or the Patriots are going to be good,
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: I don't think I'd be jumping off the bandwagon after
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: one game.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: And it's the first time that we've seen them play
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: all year long.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Mikey, how do you feel about Sal? Level-headed Sal, okay?
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Not overreacting. Wanting to take three games before he formulates
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: any sort of NFL takes.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about it?
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Sal. I've missed you. I've been with these
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: two hot take artists. I've been trying to be the
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: only level-headed person. They've convinced me I'm crazy.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: And now you come in and you spit all this logic.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: And you know what? It's refreshing. Thank you.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: Here's what I will say. Mikey, you guys are listening
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: to this on the radio. You can't see it on Zoom.
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: He's decked out in Jet stuff. Definitively, before I see
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: them play a game, the Jets are going to suck
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: this year.
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: Like, that's going to happen.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: He doesn't need to wait three weeks. He knows.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: We all know that one.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: I told you that three years ago, they were going
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: to suck tomorrow.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: By the way, your miles Garrett point is such a great,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: great point because if he had three sacks, we'd be
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: hearing nothing today about him being injured. The idea that
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: he goes out there, goes to Melbourne, Australia. He's the
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: big off season signing. Everyone loves the Rams Rams of
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the field. And he does nothing. I mean, zero gives
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you absolutely nothing and comes out after the game and says, hey,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I'm injured. Do me a favor. Say it before the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: game or don't say it at all. How about that?
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: Not once did I hear any. Now, I could have
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: missed it. But the buildup to the season was.
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: Rams, Rams, Rams, Rams, Rams, Donald Garrett, Donald Garrett. They're
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: going to be the best defense ever.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Look out.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: Purdy's going to be scared for his life. He's going
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: to be murdered on the field on Wednesday. And is
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: it Melbourne or you say Melbourne?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: How do you say it? Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I thought it was Melbourne when we started today,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: but it's Mel-bin, and that is courtesy of Noah Eagle.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so the Australian pronunciation, Sal, is Mel-bin.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: Mel-bin, okay.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: Well, they thought Purdy was going to be murdered in Mel-bin,
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden after the game, it's like,
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: now my knee was a little.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Bit banged up.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: Not once did anybody report that ever in the last
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: several months.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Not once. Yes, right.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: So you have to do it on the front end.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: You have to say, hey, I'm not 100%.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Otherwise, I don't believe you.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: You cannot put up a dud like Miles Garrett put
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: up in his first game and then come out after
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the game and say, hey.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I'm injured. You're cracking up the excuse machine. Can't do it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Don't do it. He did it. And he should be
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: ashamed of himself.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: Sal, you mentioned people getting off the Rams and the
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: Patriots bandwagons right now. And I have this stat from
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: OptiStats that kind of highlights their underperforming. This is the
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: first time in NFL history the top two finishers in
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: the MVP voting the previous season. each had a team
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: that scored 10 or fewer points in the season opener
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: with Drake May and Matthew Stafford. So it is historical
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: how bad these two played in a week one showing.
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: All right, so what does that mean? Does it mean
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: that Drake May stinks now? Explain that stat. I'm not
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: a stats guy, Taylor. You should know that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: Explain what those stats mean. And that's exactly my point.
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: I love that you said that. Ooh, big fancy AI
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: stat machine saying that Drake May and Stafford awful after
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: where they were a year ago. OK, so now are
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: we to think that those guys aren't going to be good?
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: I'll go the opposite. Week two, sign me up. Drake May,
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: Matthew Stafford, they're going to have monster games.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: Well, the problem with Drake May was this was Drake
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: May's chance to kind of silence the narrative that that
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: he was a schedule merchant when you're going on the
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: road to Seattle and. Against that defense, it was the
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: same story for Drake May, where the same questions you
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: have about Drake May after the Super Bowl, you still
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: have after week one.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you guys what this stat machine looks like?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like the George Michael sports machine. It
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: just churns out stats. That's a dated reference. I'm sorry
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: if you were born anywhere within the last 20 years.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: You have no idea what I'm talking about. But once
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: upon a time, there was a guy who was doing
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: it before SportsCenter. George Michaels was giving you all the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: highlights and doing it with a robot.
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: Right, way ahead of his time with the AI. I
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: remember that, that sports machine. Okay, but what do those
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: stats mean, ultimately? It's great to— oh, what are you insinuating
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: when you bring up those stats? Or somebody who puts
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: that out there, are we— okay, Drake May's no good?
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: Like, is that where we're at?
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: I think it's fair to say the jury's still out,
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: but then it goes to the overreaction last year where
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: it's like, I mean, certainly New England fans are talking about, oh,
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: who needs Tom Brady?
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: You got Drake May. I mean— It's going to be May.
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: Everybody was going nuts. Drake May.
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: So there's got to be somewhere in between where maybe
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: he's not Tom Brady, but maybe also he doesn't suck
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: after one questionable game in which his receiver can't even
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: catch a ball. If he catches that ball, Dubs, the whole.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Game has changed.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what the stat means is what we're seeing,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: at least through the first two games here, is something
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: fairly unprecedented.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: That's all the stat has got to say. This doesn't
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: normally happen. That's all.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: Let me ask you, Stu.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: Don't you think that that is a byproduct of where
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: we're at with the preseason?
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: Like, back to my point about that before where— It's
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: it's week one.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: We love it to mean everything because the games are
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: there aren't that many games. But there also is a
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: little bit of a learning curve and feeling it out
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: like they literally have not played full NFL games, real
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: contact games. This is the first one where they used
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: to at least play one in the preseason.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: If you're asking me, do I think if the Rams
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: are going to be good, even while losing the first
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: the first game of the season and what I think
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: of the Niners? I have the Rams now not making
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and the Niners are the favorites to make
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: it to the Super Bowl.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Look at us doing sports radio, fellas. This is exciting.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: We're not playing sounds. We are talking sports.
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: You tried to teach me out of that way. And
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: I'm like, you know what? After we had talks, I'm like,
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: he's right. What are we doing here?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Volpe stinks.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: Stafford stinks.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: May stinks.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: And then next week, May is up MVP.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I know, but I wanted you to drive the show today.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Because you got disconnected. You were very upset. You couldn't
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: get any takes off yesterday. Whatever take she got off,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: they sounded terrible. And so I wanted you to drive
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the show so you could control the.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: Action today, you know? Okay, I have another take for you.
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: The nonsense about the Sean McVay planning to go to Melbourne.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: I can't even say it. Australia.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: Planning to go to Australia just two days ahead of time.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: I'm like, do you think that that cost them the game?
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: Or maybe just the Rams were not as good as
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: the 49ers on this particular day. I don't think the
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: sleeping habits or the clock– Or whatever, the travel, jet lag.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: So what?
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: The Niners were there for two weeks. To me, that
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: had nothing to do with it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: Even with the 17-0 outscoring in the second half, I
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: don't think that that had anything to do with it.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: It's interesting because a lot of people are kind of
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: pointing that out. The Rams went to Europe last year,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: same strategy.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: They flew in. They hopped off the bird. They played
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: They won the game, got back on the bird, and
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: went home.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Now, Australia is a different animal, okay?
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: You're going to Europe, it's a six or seven, well,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I guess from LA it's a bit further, but you're
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: not going 22 hours with a 38-year-old quarterback who can't
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: just hop off a plane after 22 hours, play a
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: football game and get back on a bird and go home.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: That was obvious last night. So I don't know if
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the Rams did it the right way, the wrong way.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I just know that people are going to point to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: it because San Francisco, the team that got there a
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: week to 10 days in advance, They looked very, very sharp.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: They did. They looked very good.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: And so naturally, the next day, people are going to
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: point out, hey, the Rams didn't do it correctly and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: the Rams didn't take this game seriously. And I think
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: that's what people are upset about.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: By doing that, though, it feels like we're discrediting what
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: the 49ers did because I think that game could have
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: been played in any country, in any stadium, and you
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: were going to get the same result of the 49ers
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: just overwhelming L.A.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Well, hold on, Taylor.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: If that game's played in SoFi, you think you're getting
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the same result?
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: Almost any stadium.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Got you.
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: I'm more so with Taylor on that, that I think
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: it is discrediting the Niners.
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: Like, okay, so who do we think is the worst
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: team in the.
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: NFL or going to be the worst team in the NFL?
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: I'm not just going to say the Jets.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: Who do we think? The Browns.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Browns, Cardinals. Dolphins. Dolphins.
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: If the Browns played the Rams or the Niners in Australia—
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: And the Browns got there two months before. And the
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: Rams showed up the day before.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: Of the game. Like, the Rams probably still would have
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: beat them.
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: I know that anything could happen any given Sunday, but
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: my point is I don't think it's about– that's a weird–
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: same thing with the West Coast coming east.
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: Like, come on. It's a bunch of nonsense.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: No, I understand that.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: But how do you explain the Rams, who are so explosive,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: who are so good– even without Aaron Donald, playing that badly,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: like that poorly.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: They had the entire offseason to get ready for this game.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: They sent Todd from accounting over to Australia to figure
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: out what's the right amount of time to spend in
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Australia before you play a football game, and Todd was wrong.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: So how do you explain it, Sal? Because that team,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I would guess, that's the worst game that team is
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: going to play this year.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: I would say that it's honestly rust. I really think
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: that it's just first game, rust, good team. Now, we'll
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: learn about them eventually.
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: Could this be a harbinger the rest of the year?
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: I mean, are the Rams even– maybe things that happen
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: in week one are going to be signs the rest
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: of the way. I don't believe that that's going to
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: be the case, especially with a team that's as well-coached
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: as the Rams are and as loaded as they are now.
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: Could Stafford fall off the cliff and be an older guy?
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: That absolutely, I think, could be a legitimate reason– to
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: doubt them but for them playing as poorly as they
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: did with the weapons that they have i just look
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: at it as a they played a really good team
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: who was maybe just more ready at this particular moment
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: and maybe the rams are going to take a little
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: time to get going.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: By the way if you're a rams fan you hope
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: they didn't do it correctly you hope that matthew stafford
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: isn't just aging you hope that it was the plane
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: it was the 22 hours it was the fact they
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: didn't get there a week before because if stafford's gonna
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: look like that they don't have a shot what do
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: you got mikey.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Is Todd from accounting fired today?
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: He should be.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: He should be.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: No, McVay should be. I mean, stop sending Todd from accounting.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: How about you go and figure it out?
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: Todd from accounting had one job to do, and that
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: was how long do we need to be in Australia
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: to beat the 49ers?
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: And he failed.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: So you're saying Todd called McVay and said, hey, you
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: guys can hop on a bird, land, play football, get back.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: On the bird and go home.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: That was Todd's report back to Les Snead and Sean McVay, yes?
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: That's exactly what happened.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Then he's been fired, yes.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: They should have used more AI. I mean, come on.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: By the way, is anyone else worried about AI? I mean,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: you hear all these reports. I'm watching the news last night.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: It's like I'm living in a movie, for crying out loud,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: where AI is going to kill everyone inside of a decade.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: ChatGPT says we shouldn't be worried.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: I started reading some Twitter threads yesterday on that, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: I was like, I don't.
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: Think this is going to be good for my mental health.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Let me stop this. So, yeah, I'm scared.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: But realistically, are humans really dumb enough to create something
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: that would wipe us all off the face.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Of the earth?
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: I'm wearing a Jets hat.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: They're dumb enough.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Especially if it's lining their pockets.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm going to enjoy the next decade, and I
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: don't care what happens after that.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: But for the next 10 years, man, I am living large. Oh,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: my God.
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: The AI stuff.
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: Less AI, more reality. And more real football in the preseason.
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: Get us ready for week one. Less overreacting as well.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: Did we do enough takes there still? Am I okay
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: so far?
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: You're doing great.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Never enough takes. I want to play some sound from
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Taylor when we come back. 877-99 on Fox. That is
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. Sal is in for the entire show.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: We are thrilled about it. We love him.
