- 1:58Speaker 4: No, that's giving. Oh and so yep, we did. We
- 2:03Speaker 4: went and got a tree. We were a couple of
- 2:05Speaker 4: days late, i'd say, on getting a tree, I think
- 2:07Speaker 4: the day after Thanksgiving is the day to do it.
- 2:09Speaker 4: But we were busy, so we didn't do it.
- 2:11Speaker 5: Then.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Well, and the house lights, I mean yeah, Kate, Kate
- 2:15Speaker 4: actually even decorated like a big tree, like out in
- 2:18Speaker 4: our yard.
- 2:19Speaker 3: See.
- 2:20Speaker 4: I just assume that everything that you need is just
- 2:22Speaker 4: out in your yard.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Yeah, like that. You don't have to go get a tree.
- 2:25Speaker 1: There's just one that you've been growing from the last
- 2:28Speaker 1: ten years that's now reached peak.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Bear and I are taking the axe out to go
- 2:33Speaker 3: get our Christmas tree back there in the back yonder
- 2:35Speaker 3: on the forty.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I always, That's just what.
- 2:39Speaker 2: I there is and makes your own lights.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, exactly like him.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Yeah she probably could. Hey, why don't you? She was
- 2:47Speaker 3: thinking while we were putting the fireflies. Yeah, I'm gonna
- 2:51Speaker 3: need a couple another jar fall.
- 2:53Speaker 4: You'll get some more firefly's all morning. Let me alone.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I need time. Yeah, catch the fire trees off of
- 3:04Speaker 4: my property.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Oh you don't want to.
- 3:06Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I said.
- 3:07Speaker 3: You go to the back forty that belongs to you, know, Ebner,
- 3:10Speaker 3: you know you your neighbor.
- 3:12Speaker 4: I would say that I have poached it. I can't
- 3:14Speaker 4: say that I've never poached a Christmas tree permits. I
- 3:18Speaker 4: just figured, oh, I don't know.
- 3:21Speaker 1: I like to think of your house as half river
- 3:24Speaker 1: front wander wonder and half Christmas tree farm.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I wish I had it. I went and talked to
- 3:31Speaker 4: the folks at the Christmas Tree Farm yesterday when we
- 3:33Speaker 4: got it, and I'm like, I'm so jealous of you.
- 3:35Speaker 3: They had like fifty acres. Yeah, Christmas trees all over
- 3:39Speaker 3: that picture beyond that even more sophisticated. I picture like, uh, bucket,
- 3:44Speaker 3: the washer and dryer are acting up again. All right,
- 3:48Speaker 3: I'll go back in the backyard and cut one down.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
- 3:53Speaker 3: And then the next thing, you know, you guys slung
- 3:56Speaker 3: over your shoulder and you're bringing it back.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, for to that house too. You've gotta plug it.
- 4:01Speaker 4: We're closer to and we don't we're not this close
- 4:04Speaker 4: to this, but that we have just a bunch of
- 4:06Speaker 4: spare washer and dryers on the back.
- 4:08Speaker 1: For me.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Wow, it's like Kate might want to go get another
- 4:11Speaker 4: one washer sylenoids out of one of them there in
- 4:15Speaker 4: the back forty to buy my first soillnoid in my life?
- 4:19Speaker 4: Did you how about that? I look at that.
- 4:21Speaker 2: I thought you made that word up.
- 4:23Speaker 4: No, that's a word. I just bought one. Yeah, Kate
- 4:26Speaker 4: would actually know what it does inside of a machine.
- 4:28Speaker 4: I don't any thing. Yeah, I know.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I feel like I'm late to the party. Yeah yeah,
- 4:35Speaker 3: I mean most people buy the first syllnoid in the
- 4:37Speaker 3: first twenty five.
- 4:38Speaker 4: Years probably, yeah, or you may have bought one before.
- 4:40Speaker 4: I didn't know that you wout maybe to be fair.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Though, you didn't start drinking till late. So a lot
- 4:45Speaker 2: of other things are going to be true.
- 4:46Speaker 4: That's true. True, Yeah, I'm very you're late bloomer.
- 4:49Speaker 2: That's right, You're probably right on selenoid time.
- 4:52Speaker 3: I think that's why I put the Christmas tree up
- 4:54Speaker 3: so early, just try to make up for all the
- 4:56Speaker 3: long time the other area.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Ye out, all right.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I thought it was so you could drink nog.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Well that's a great reason too. I'll tell you that
- 5:04Speaker 3: it is a delicious thing. Every year I remind myself.
- 5:07Speaker 4: Man, this stuff's good.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Well, good morning to you all. Welcome into the show.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Everybody's trees up on this radio program. We're actually going
- 5:15Speaker 3: to go over some holiday analytics a little bit later
- 5:17Speaker 3: on in the show because Mike Holmgren won't stop wearing
- 5:20Speaker 3: my ass out about it, So we're gonna get to
- 5:24Speaker 3: that a little later on in the program. I look,
- 5:27Speaker 3: I don't know if there's anything more annoying in the world.
- 5:32Speaker 3: I'm sure there is, but just being a prisoner of
- 5:36Speaker 3: the moment, then people talking about their own fantasy football teams. Okay,
- 5:42Speaker 3: it probably ranks up there as like the most annoying
- 5:45Speaker 3: thing that anyone can overhear. Yeah, and I mean the
- 5:50Speaker 3: bartender on Thursdays. My buddy, he's not my buddy, but
- 5:53Speaker 3: he's my bartender, Jake, and so he plays fantasy football.
- 5:58Speaker 3: So it's almost the first thing that comes up anybody
- 6:00Speaker 3: playing tonight.
- 6:01Speaker 4: So we do it.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Uh and and he he he and I are on
- 6:05Speaker 3: the same page with it, so we can have the
- 6:07Speaker 3: conversation and not annoy one another with it, even though
- 6:10Speaker 3: we're not in the same league. But I can just
- 6:12Speaker 3: feel the people around me. I can feel like the
- 6:15Speaker 3: ovaries of the staff, just like drying up uh over.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Probably no one's ever picked up a girl by saying, hey,
- 6:24Speaker 3: how's how's your fantasy football?
- 6:30Speaker 1: You could finally pick someone up by saying, hey, I'll
- 6:32Speaker 1: trade you js N And then.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Maybe you could today, Yeah, maybe you could today. You know,
- 6:39Speaker 4: I don't. Yeah, Bucky still has his doubts.
- 6:41Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not sure that it's the best opening
- 6:45Speaker 3: line if you're trying to pick up a woman at
- 6:47Speaker 3: the bar to be just like to complain about the
- 6:50Speaker 3: bad break you got last night and the definitely.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Not but I I got to tell you something.
- 6:58Speaker 3: It is really and I got I took it in
- 7:00Speaker 3: the shorts last night and I didn't even have anybody
- 7:03Speaker 3: playing but it is a beautiful thing. It is a crazy,
- 7:07Speaker 3: beautiful thing. Fantasy football that I got introduced to when
- 7:11Speaker 3: I was nineteen years old. I haven't stopped playing for
- 7:13Speaker 3: a little while. I didn't start playing it again until
- 7:16Speaker 3: we kicked up the league here at kJ R.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Almost when you bought your first syllnoid.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Yeah, it was after I bought my first cylind or
- 7:23Speaker 3: before I bought my first syllinoid. That shows you the timeline. Yeah,
- 7:27Speaker 3: and yet I mean, here you have this game that
- 7:30Speaker 3: I didn't even watch. I mean, I watched four straight
- 7:32Speaker 3: days of nothing but football, and I will be damned
- 7:35Speaker 3: if I was going to watch the Giants and the
- 7:37Speaker 3: Patriots play last night. I mean that just looked like
- 7:40Speaker 3: a garbage matchup to me. So I didn't even watch it,
- 7:43Speaker 3: but I did kind of keep track of it. And
- 7:45Speaker 3: part of it was because some of the fantasy results
- 7:47Speaker 3: would have affected me. And here's what would have affected me.
- 7:50Speaker 3: This is how crazy that this is the Patriots kicker.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Who no one's ever heard of.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Okay, he was playing for Chris offered from mollywops team
- 8:02Speaker 3: who if they if Crawford's team won last night, it
- 8:06Speaker 3: was going to probably put a big wrench in me
- 8:09Speaker 3: making the playoffs, and so he had the kicker going
- 8:12Speaker 3: but was trailing by eleven. Bucky, if he would have
- 8:18Speaker 3: won his against Jackson last night, that would have helped
- 8:20Speaker 3: me out a little bit too in trying to get
- 8:22Speaker 3: to the playoffs.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Next week.
- 8:24Speaker 3: I got my team seven and six. Looks like we
- 8:26Speaker 3: should win next week, go eight and six, And yet
- 8:29Speaker 3: that's not a guarantee to get into the playoffs. Bucky's
- 8:32Speaker 3: going against the Patriots defense and is leading by ten.
- 8:38Speaker 3: So I need Bucky to win and I need Crawford
- 8:41Speaker 3: to lose to really sort of clear my Christmas tree
- 8:44Speaker 3: path toward making the playoffs in our little league.
- 8:47Speaker 4: So that's all I had. That's all I had going
- 8:51Speaker 4: last year.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Yeah, And sure enough, Marcus Jones of the Patriots returns
- 8:56Speaker 3: a punt for a touchdown.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Cool and that put.
- 9:00Speaker 3: That that's win against what I needed to have happened.
- 9:03Speaker 3: And Bora Gallas kicks four field goals and three extra
- 9:07Speaker 3: points in the first half. I mean, him done that
- 9:10Speaker 3: ever in his life at any level, kicked that much
- 9:14Speaker 3: in one game. I mean, the two things that I
- 9:16Speaker 3: couldn't have happened, and yet they happened. And yet I
- 9:19Speaker 3: still had this shot at winning. All that had to
- 9:23Speaker 3: happen was the Giants had to score more points than
- 9:26Speaker 3: what they did last night, like a field goal more,
- 9:29Speaker 3: and I think he would have won. Maybe maybe they
- 9:31Speaker 3: needed a touchdown by the end.
- 9:33Speaker 4: I know they had a chance down right at the
- 9:35Speaker 4: end of the game to score a touchdown too.
- 9:37Speaker 3: Bora Gallas was stuck at those all those points he
- 9:41Speaker 3: scored in the first half, all Crawford needed was an
- 9:44Speaker 3: extra point and then he wins. And so you have
- 9:49Speaker 3: I have to wait the entire second half to see
- 9:52Speaker 3: if the Giants score a touchdown. And this isn't This
- 9:55Speaker 3: doesn't affect my actual team at all. It just affects
- 9:58Speaker 3: my chances to see if the Giants score a touchdown
- 10:02Speaker 3: that gives Bucky enough or or takes enough points away
- 10:06Speaker 3: from Jackson's defense to let Bucky win. And then are
- 10:12Speaker 3: the Patriots going to score again? Because they don't need to, right,
- 10:15Speaker 3: And if the Giants can hold onto the football, they're
- 10:17Speaker 3: probably not going to. But I think he ends up
- 10:19Speaker 3: kicking a field goal from like twenty four yards with
- 10:22Speaker 3: like a minute to go in a meaningless game at
- 10:25Speaker 3: that point, and I and you have to wait as
- 10:28Speaker 3: a fantasy football fan that entire game to get.
- 10:31Speaker 4: The result that you're waiting for.
- 10:34Speaker 3: It is. It's kind of a beautiful thing, It really
- 10:38Speaker 3: is that something like that. Could you know that you're
- 10:43Speaker 3: sitting you're why monitoring this meaningless football game because something
- 10:49Speaker 3: you do as a hobby, something that is fun for you,
- 10:51Speaker 3: you're waiting for the results, and they can be that
- 10:55Speaker 3: crazy that that you know, kicker from the Patriots could
- 11:00Speaker 3: have that big of an impact on any night of
- 11:03Speaker 3: my life, in my entire existence. And yet last night
- 11:07Speaker 3: Andy Bora Gallis, if that's even how you pronounce his name,
- 11:11Speaker 3: was that instrumental and my happiness or my disappointment during
- 11:17Speaker 3: the evening, and I'm sitting there rooting for Bucky to
- 11:19Speaker 3: win like mad, and then I will root for Bucky
- 11:22Speaker 3: to lose next week because that helps me. Yeah, it's crazy.
- 11:27Speaker 3: I mean, what a great pastime that we came up with.
- 11:30Speaker 3: However many years ago. It's so much fun. It's why
- 11:34Speaker 3: my brother, who's seven years older than I am, has
- 11:37Speaker 3: hated it his entire life until three years ago he
- 11:40Speaker 3: played it for the first time and now he's addicted.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's stuff like that It's just it
- 11:47Speaker 3: was such a great little addition to our football fandom
- 11:51Speaker 3: to begin with.
- 11:52Speaker 4: But man, I mean it. I know everybody's got their.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Crazy stories, and frankly, no one wants to hear other
- 11:58Speaker 3: people's crazy stories. But I just thought, here on a Tuesday,
- 12:02Speaker 3: I mean, that was just yeah, I think just a
- 12:05Speaker 3: slice of modern day sports fan right there is watching
- 12:09Speaker 3: to see if Andy Bora Gallis the entire second half
- 12:12Speaker 3: will score another point as the kicker for the New
- 12:16Speaker 3: England Patriots.
- 12:17Speaker 4: How on earth did that keep me captivated? On a
- 12:20Speaker 4: Monday night when Bucky's family put up It's Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 12:24Speaker 4: I had it on and I had it muted because
- 12:27Speaker 4: we had Christmas music playing and you know, decorating the tree,
- 12:31Speaker 4: and you know, I would glance over every once in
- 12:33Speaker 4: a while. Sure enough, glanced over. Right when I see
- 12:35Speaker 4: the guy returning that kick, I'm like, no, tackle him,
- 12:39Speaker 4: tackle him and he runs it in for a touchdown,
- 12:43Speaker 4: Like that's gonna hurt. And then yeah, I thought, maybe
- 12:45Speaker 4: there's a chance. The whole the whole thing of fantasy
- 12:48Speaker 4: football does add an aspect, but it's like everything else,
- 12:52Speaker 4: Like in moderation, it's good in moderation. It's like me,
- 12:55Speaker 4: I have three leagues. I wanted to get out of
- 12:57Speaker 4: one of them. But I got the old school one
- 12:59Speaker 4: that I've been doing for probably close to twenty years,
- 13:02Speaker 4: and then I got a new one that frankly is
- 13:06Speaker 4: a pretty easy one to win, and so it's you know,
- 13:10Speaker 4: makes six seven hundred bucks a year, no, and then
- 13:13Speaker 4: I got the kjar one. And yet with three fantasy
- 13:16Speaker 4: football teams, you're inevitably it there's something about it. It's like, no,
- 13:20Speaker 4: that's too much because every single week I have somebody
- 13:22Speaker 4: on my team that I want to score obviously and
- 13:25Speaker 4: get in one of the other leagues I'm playing against him. Yeah,
- 13:27Speaker 4: So then you're in this like Okay, how much am
- 13:29Speaker 4: I out by? Do I want? Okay? Just And it
- 13:32Speaker 4: starts literally in the just the you know, the afternoon
- 13:35Speaker 4: games on Sunday. You're just like, okay, I'm already up
- 13:38Speaker 4: by forty. But so I don't really care if Ceedee
- 13:42Speaker 4: Lamb goes off right now because I'm playing against him
- 13:44Speaker 4: in the other two leagues. And then it's just like, man, yeah,
- 13:47Speaker 4: I gotta get it back to being simple. But yeah,
- 13:50Speaker 4: last night was a doozy and against Jackson too. Nobody
- 13:53Speaker 4: wants to lose.
- 13:54Speaker 2: It against Jackson because Jackson's.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Defense gets a touchdown. Although I mean ultimate, I probably
- 14:00Speaker 4: shouldn't have been in the position I was in because
- 14:02Speaker 4: the only reason I was leading was because the Broncos
- 14:05Speaker 4: went in overtime and RJ. Harvey runs in a touchdown. Yeah,
- 14:08Speaker 4: so it's you had quite the battle.
- 14:10Speaker 3: I mean, in terms of fantasy football, it would have
- 14:12Speaker 3: probably gotten a television rating.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Well, I think you guys like the two highest scorers too.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 3: Yeah, Else that's a bummer, as Ashley clinched her spot
- 14:24Speaker 3: in the playoffs last night.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.
- 14:28Speaker 3: It's it's just such a fun pastime and and aggravating,
- 14:32Speaker 3: and I don't know why we take it so seriously,
- 14:34Speaker 3: and I don't know why it captivated me for an evening.
- 14:37Speaker 3: But I'm telling you, when you're sitting there and you're like,
- 14:39Speaker 3: I didn't even watch the game, I'm just like, every
- 14:41Speaker 3: once in a while when Landman went to commercial, you're
- 14:44Speaker 3: watching land Man last night, then I would go check
- 14:47Speaker 3: to see what happened, and you're like, oh, okay, five
- 14:50Speaker 3: more minutes of Pat Borer.
- 14:51Speaker 4: Gallas hasn't kicked an extra point or a field goal.
- 14:55Speaker 3: I still got a chance for Crawford to lose before
- 14:57Speaker 3: this is over with. I mean it was for the
- 15:00Speaker 3: that to even occur in our lives. And I think
- 15:02Speaker 3: that we're pretty mature people. Yeah, I mean it's insane,
- 15:06Speaker 3: not just insane.
- 15:08Speaker 1: It is and it's and it seems like every year too,
- 15:11Speaker 1: not even just fantasy football. There's new ways to invent
- 15:14Speaker 1: you to you know, for you to be involved in
- 15:16Speaker 1: another kind of league of some sort of other thing
- 15:19Speaker 1: that's a spin off of fantasy football, Like I tell
- 15:21Speaker 1: you guys about this Confidence League, right, Yeah, So every
- 15:23Speaker 1: week I'm invested in that and I'm sitting there living
- 15:26Speaker 1: and dying with you know, who's who's gonna win or
- 15:29Speaker 1: who's gonna lose? And how many points did I give
- 15:31Speaker 1: them over? I mean teams I just really don't care about.
- 15:35Speaker 1: But between that and fantasy football, yeah, it's a lot,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and it's awesome.
- 15:38Speaker 3: I don't know how you real gamblers, you that like
- 15:41Speaker 3: risk money you can't afford to lose, you know, on
- 15:44Speaker 3: football games.
- 15:45Speaker 4: How you could even deal with that?
- 15:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, how could you deal with whether or
- 15:49Speaker 3: not Andy boorragallis kicks another extra point or not. I
- 15:52Speaker 3: could not in the second half of a Monday night
- 15:55Speaker 3: football game. And it's the difference between whether or not
- 15:58Speaker 3: your kids eat that week. I mean, I don't even
- 16:01Speaker 3: know how how you I'm exaggerating. I probably shouldn't exaggerate
- 16:04Speaker 3: to that degree. But you know, if it, if it
- 16:06Speaker 3: impacted you at all your finances, I don't know how
- 16:09Speaker 3: you could even do that.
- 16:11Speaker 4: I don't either. I mean, ultimately in fantasy, so going
- 16:14Speaker 4: against the Patriots defense, every point counts. And yet yesterday
- 16:20Speaker 4: the kicker for the Giants just decides to kick the
- 16:22Speaker 4: ground in that way.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, what And afterwards, did you say.
- 16:27Speaker 4: If I had thousands of dollars on that versus just
- 16:30Speaker 4: losing to Jackson? Yes, I don't know which is worse. Yeah,
- 16:34Speaker 4: probably thousands of dollars, imagine both. Yeah, and they wonder
- 16:40Speaker 4: why if you didn't stub your toe right? Yeah, I
- 16:42Speaker 4: don't understanding what he did there.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Did you see after the game though, he said, yeah,
- 16:46Speaker 1: that's actually happened to me before. It was Also, you
- 16:49Speaker 1: have the yips or I guess he thought the ball
- 16:51Speaker 1: was like moving sideways or something, and so that it
- 16:54Speaker 1: was he wasn't going to be able to kick it.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Well, give her a shot, because it definitely doesn't go
- 16:58Speaker 4: in if you stop your foot before the give her
- 17:00Speaker 4: a shot, he stubbed his toe.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Yeah, well, crazy, crazy, I don't know. I love it, Yeah,
- 17:08Speaker 3: I mean it's God love being a sports fan, That's
- 17:12Speaker 3: all I can tell you. And I think fantasy football
- 17:14Speaker 3: has made or just a little bit, maybe even a
- 17:17Speaker 3: lot better. I agree, even though sometimes there are some negative,
- 17:21Speaker 3: dark things to it, and I think they're ridiculous. I mean,
- 17:24Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit there and send Andy boor
- 17:26Speaker 3: a Gallas like a you know what, my severed finger
- 17:29Speaker 3: in the mail with a yeah, you know, with a
- 17:32Speaker 3: ransom note.
- 17:33Speaker 4: I'll pick your dog and I'll get that serious. You
- 17:37Speaker 4: got a problem, that's right.
- 17:39Speaker 3: But anyway, I thought we'd start with that today. We
- 17:41Speaker 3: got a lot of other things to cover today, a
- 17:43Speaker 3: little more serious. Let's find out what's on tap?
- 17:47Speaker 2: What's on tap?
- 17:50Speaker 4: What's on tap?
- 17:51Speaker 3: All right? New England Patriots thirty three ten fifteen winners
- 17:55Speaker 3: excuse me over the New York Giants last night.
- 17:57Speaker 4: That's important.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Thirty three fifteen winners over the New York Giants once again.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Jackson dart putting himself in harm's way last night, not
- 18:06Speaker 3: getting out of bounds, getting crushed out of the sidelines.
- 18:09Speaker 3: It was the highlight you know, reel of the game
- 18:13Speaker 3: last night, and.
- 18:14Speaker 4: He doubles down afterwards.
- 18:16Speaker 3: You better get a head coach in there fast if
- 18:18Speaker 3: the interim head coach can't get his arms around this.
- 18:21Speaker 3: I mean, you have a first round draft pick invested
- 18:24Speaker 3: in a guy who was a lot better than I
- 18:25Speaker 3: thought he was gonna be.
- 18:26Speaker 4: He's actually really good, and yet this.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Guy thinks that there's some extra thing that he gets
- 18:32Speaker 3: at the end of the day if he proves he's
- 18:34Speaker 3: the toughest person on the field.
- 18:36Speaker 4: I mean, I like the passion.
- 18:38Speaker 3: I can appreciate the passion, but dude, you can't play
- 18:41Speaker 3: this position dumb. He's had four he's been in a
- 18:44Speaker 3: concussion protocol. I think last night was the fifth time
- 18:47Speaker 3: this year, so he played in like eight games. I mean,
- 18:50Speaker 3: you've got to play smarter as a quarterback than that.
- 18:53Speaker 3: I mean, I don't remember many times where Tom Brady
- 18:56Speaker 3: was on the highlight reel for getting lit up on
- 18:58Speaker 3: the sidelines because he just had to get that extra yard.
- 19:02Speaker 4: I guess it's admirable in some world.
- 19:04Speaker 3: But you're not doing your teammates and your career and
- 19:07Speaker 3: your coaching staff any favors by doing that.
- 19:09Speaker 4: Well, he needs to grow up, and I think that
- 19:11Speaker 4: he will, even though he doubled down yesterday and said
- 19:13Speaker 4: that's just the way I play. Go back and look
- 19:15Speaker 4: at the tape. You know that's not a stay I play. Yeah,
- 19:18Speaker 4: I do like that. You're right, it isn't. And I mean,
- 19:23Speaker 4: to me, there's a fine line there between how you
- 19:26Speaker 4: have to play the game depending on who you are.
- 19:29Speaker 4: I mean, tom Brady knew he wasn't going to get
- 19:32Speaker 4: that extra half yard. He'll just turn more sideways and
- 19:35Speaker 4: make sure that he's out of bounds. Now. Tom Brady
- 19:38Speaker 4: also ended up taking over and turning himself into a
- 19:40Speaker 4: Hall of Famer after he watched Drew Bledsoe, who made
- 19:43Speaker 4: one poor mistake and didn't get out of bounds and
- 19:45Speaker 4: had a punctured lung because of it. And so I
- 19:48Speaker 4: think that you end up kind of machurn a little bit.
- 19:50Speaker 4: You try. You need to try to avoid some of
- 19:53Speaker 4: the stuff that you can, because there's some hits that
- 19:55Speaker 4: you just flat out don't get to avoid. And so
- 19:59Speaker 4: I think that hopefully it comes with a little bit
- 20:01Speaker 4: of maturity hopefully, you know, maybe his mom talks to
- 20:04Speaker 4: him like, heye, Jackson, I want you to play the
- 20:06Speaker 4: way you need to play, but stand and control.
- 20:08Speaker 3: It's got to be a coach. I mean, somebody's got
- 20:10Speaker 3: to like if you do that again, I'm taking you
- 20:12Speaker 3: out right.
- 20:12Speaker 4: I mean, we've got it.
- 20:14Speaker 2: We're just hurting the team.
- 20:15Speaker 4: We really would like to have you for.
- 20:17Speaker 3: The next ten to fifteen years. We think we really
- 20:19Speaker 3: like you, and you just can't play the game this way.
- 20:21Speaker 3: I mean it'd be different. I mean Brett Farv got
- 20:23Speaker 3: beat up all the time, but Brett.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Farv was made of a different fabric.
- 20:27Speaker 3: Russell Wilson has made it a different I saw that
- 20:29Speaker 3: guy just get crushed and it didn't even face this up. Obviously,
- 20:33Speaker 3: Jackson Dart is not that person. He's already had five
- 20:36Speaker 3: concussions in his first year. Yeah, I mean, what on
- 20:40Speaker 3: earth are we so having an interim ed coach that's
- 20:43Speaker 3: obviously not telling him how important it is that he
- 20:46Speaker 3: I would just bench him for the rest of the year.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they don't have anything to play for.
- 20:49Speaker 1: No.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Uh.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Yeah, that hit was scary.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Yeah, Sea Hawks get ready for the Falcons. It's the
- 20:56Speaker 3: last game that should be easy. Never is, but it
- 21:00Speaker 3: should be easy. Then gets a bit nasty for the Hawks.
- 21:03Speaker 3: After that, Colts rams Panthers forty nine ers to close
- 21:06Speaker 3: out the season. We still have more than a month
- 21:08Speaker 3: to go college football playoff rankings. We just have a
- 21:10Speaker 3: weekend to go before that. The conference championships are this Saturday,
- 21:15Speaker 3: selection Sunday. But tonight we'll get our penultimate to college
- 21:19Speaker 3: football playoff rankings before the official list comes out on Sunday.
- 21:23Speaker 3: It's a great day to have Rick new Eisl on
- 21:25Speaker 3: the show. We'll talk to him at nine o'clock. Kracking
- 21:28Speaker 3: will be taking on Edmonton Thursday. We've got tickets to
- 21:32Speaker 3: an upcoming cracket game. It is Cracking Ticket Tuesday, so
- 21:36Speaker 3: be listening for that piece of audio every single hour
- 21:39Speaker 3: that will prompt you to be the tenth caller at
- 21:41Speaker 3: two six two eight six ninety five ninety five to
- 21:44Speaker 3: get a pair of tickets for an upcoming Cracking game.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Plus Everett Fitz who's going to join us at eight
- 21:48Speaker 3: thirty as well. And we are five days away from
- 21:51Speaker 3: the Major League Baseball Winner meetings. We've already had some
- 21:53Speaker 3: fascinating moves that have been made this offseason. Another one
- 21:57Speaker 3: last night, the New York Mets signed away Devin william
- 22:00Speaker 3: the Yankees closer and did not close the door on
- 22:03Speaker 3: re signing Edwin Diaz as well. So Devin Williams is
- 22:07Speaker 3: now a Met. But coming up next that's the topic
- 22:09Speaker 3: we couldn't get to yesterday because of Monday Morning Quarterback,
- 22:14Speaker 3: and so we will discuss it today, The Lane Kiffin
- 22:16Speaker 3: saga on Chuckin'box Sports.
- 22:18Speaker 4: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Yes, we got Greg Bell coming up at seven oh five,
- 22:22Speaker 3: Gene Steratur at eight, Everard fits You at eight thirty,
- 22:25Speaker 3: Rick new Iol at nine o'clock, all sorts of guests,
- 22:28Speaker 3: plus we got a few things that we got to
- 22:30Speaker 3: break down with the old judge, and we're also going
- 22:32Speaker 3: to introduce holiday analytics later on in.
- 22:35Speaker 4: The program as well.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Yesterday's show dominated by Seahawks conversation with our experts, Greg
- 22:40Speaker 3: Hugh and Coach, but perhaps the mediast conversation that was
- 22:46Speaker 3: occurring in the sports world was about Lane Kiffin and
- 22:50Speaker 3: whether or not Lane Kiffin did his did ole miss
- 22:55Speaker 3: a disservice and did not handle things the right way
- 23:01Speaker 3: and leaving Ole Miss to go to LSU. I'm never
- 23:04Speaker 3: gonna begrudge somebody for taking a better position, but I
- 23:08Speaker 3: do think Bucky there is a right way and a.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Wrong way to do things.
- 23:12Speaker 3: And to me, I mean, Lane Kiffin just has always
- 23:16Speaker 3: been sort of a petulant child. That's how he's always
- 23:19Speaker 3: come across to me. He's always been the guy that
- 23:21Speaker 3: his dad was the coach and so he had access
- 23:24Speaker 3: to the field and he'd go the next day and
- 23:27Speaker 3: brag about all all the kids at the school about how,
- 23:30Speaker 3: you know, yeah, you got a football for Christmas, I
- 23:33Speaker 3: got a football song by Doug.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Williams or whoever.
- 23:36Speaker 3: That's who we always and I don't think he's ever
- 23:38Speaker 3: kind of changed being that person. It's had a lot
- 23:41Speaker 3: of opportunities and a lot of great programs to show
- 23:44Speaker 3: that he can handle maturity, the maturity of you know,
- 23:48Speaker 3: running the USC program, running the Tennessee Those are fantastic
- 23:53Speaker 3: football programs, I need to tell you. And he crashed
- 23:55Speaker 3: and burned and ended up being vilified in both of
- 23:59Speaker 3: those situations before he got to Old Miss, where he
- 24:02Speaker 3: was actually loved and embraced and everybody wanted to keep him.
- 24:06Speaker 3: And it looked like he had grown, and I think
- 24:07Speaker 3: that he has in a lot of areas, And yet
- 24:10Speaker 3: this reminds me of that same Lane Kiffin petulant child
- 24:17Speaker 3: aspect of it. If you want to take a better job,
- 24:20Speaker 3: one that you think is going to bring you more
- 24:22Speaker 3: life enrichment, even though it's not more money, more life enrichment, Okay,
- 24:28Speaker 3: you can do that, but do you have to burn
- 24:31Speaker 3: everything down behind you if you don't get your way?
- 24:35Speaker 3: And I mean your entire way. That entire Dog and
- 24:39Speaker 3: Pony show about I need to meet with this group,
- 24:41Speaker 3: and they need to meet with that group was all
- 24:43Speaker 3: about him trying to get the LSU job and getting
- 24:48Speaker 3: to finish what he started at ole Miss and being
- 24:50Speaker 3: able to coach in the playoff. It was all about
- 24:53Speaker 3: his own personal glory. And if it wasn't, then why
- 24:56Speaker 3: did he put in his contract at LSU. If ole
- 24:59Speaker 3: Miss wins a national championship, I get a bonus. And
- 25:03Speaker 3: it's because ole Miss won't recognize him as the guy
- 25:06Speaker 3: that led them to the national championship if in fact
- 25:09Speaker 3: they win it with an interim head coach, just like
- 25:12Speaker 3: Michigan acknowledges Steve Fisher as the guy that led them
- 25:16Speaker 3: to the national championship in college basketball years ago when
- 25:19Speaker 3: he was in the same situation. So he wants on
- 25:22Speaker 3: paper it to be acknowledged that he was the head
- 25:26Speaker 3: coach of a team that may have won, may go
- 25:28Speaker 3: on to win the national championship. To me, it just
- 25:31Speaker 3: comes off really small, very petulant. I think he's still
- 25:35Speaker 3: as one of the most immature guys at one of
- 25:37Speaker 3: the highest levels in college football out there, and there
- 25:40Speaker 3: was just a better way.
- 25:41Speaker 4: To do this, without a doubt, a better way to
- 25:44Speaker 4: do it. And I mean, it's there's a complicated thing
- 25:47Speaker 4: going on right with just how the whole kind of
- 25:51Speaker 4: unruly aspect of people being able to move and switch teams, coaches,
- 25:55Speaker 4: players alike. And yet I wish there was a way
- 25:58Speaker 4: that it was wrangled in better, but there isn't at
- 26:01Speaker 4: this point in time. And yet, when it comes to coaches,
- 26:05Speaker 4: you're the one that needs to set the standard of
- 26:07Speaker 4: how where loyalty is going to be. If if there's
- 26:10Speaker 4: gonna be any loyalty, you're going to be the ones
- 26:12Speaker 4: that are gonna set the standard for that. And yet
- 26:16Speaker 4: we don't see a whole heck of a lot of them.
- 26:18Speaker 4: I mean, the Stagnetti or what Signetti at Indiana. He
- 26:22Speaker 4: seems like he's the type that's like, no, this is
- 26:25Speaker 4: my spot, this is where I'm meant to be. And
- 26:28Speaker 4: I have a feeling that he's going to get some
- 26:30Speaker 4: folks that want to come to Indiana and they're gonna
- 26:33Speaker 4: want to stay there for as long as they can
- 26:35Speaker 4: until they can possibly move on. There's just a I mean,
- 26:39Speaker 4: there's just naturally in the world. I mean, I'm with you.
- 26:42Speaker 4: I'm not gonna ever begrudge anybody for going out and
- 26:44Speaker 4: finding something, or if they have the opportunity to do
- 26:47Speaker 4: something bigger or better, or they just feel like it
- 26:50Speaker 4: enriches their life better. If I like my job, I
- 26:52Speaker 4: like working with you guys. If somebody offered me way
- 26:55Speaker 4: more money to do something that I didn't have to
- 26:57Speaker 4: wake up at four o'clock in the morning for, I
- 27:00Speaker 4: would probably I would probably look into it. I most
- 27:02Speaker 4: certainly would look into it. But I wouldn't just text
- 27:05Speaker 4: you guys one day and say sorry, folks come out
- 27:09Speaker 4: and leave you hanging right. There's a proper way to
- 27:11Speaker 4: do it. I'd say, hey, I got this opportunity rich
- 27:13Speaker 4: and this is what I'm thinking about doing and so
- 27:16Speaker 4: here it is, and I would probably give them an
- 27:18Speaker 4: opportunity to say, hey, we'd like to match that right
- 27:21Speaker 4: and stick around. So there's a way to do it.
- 27:24Speaker 4: There's most certainly a wrong way to do it, and
- 27:26Speaker 4: that's the way that Lang Kiffin has done it. It
- 27:28Speaker 4: seems like his whole career because I think that he
- 27:30Speaker 4: does do that. When I first took this job, I
- 27:32Speaker 4: was coaching kids in baseball. Not This is a way
- 27:36Speaker 4: different comparison because we're talking about I was coaching seventeen
- 27:40Speaker 4: eighteen year old boys, and I wasn't going to coach
- 27:43Speaker 4: a different team of seventeen eighteen year old boys. I
- 27:45Speaker 4: came to take this job, but one for one year
- 27:48Speaker 4: or about for one season. When I took this job,
- 27:52Speaker 4: I didn't quit on the team of young men that
- 27:54Speaker 4: I was coaching. I was coaching until nine ten eleven
- 27:58Speaker 4: o'clock at night and hadn't watched any sports and got
- 28:00Speaker 4: to go home and do my homework for this show
- 28:03Speaker 4: until one or two o'clock in the morning. For about
- 28:06Speaker 4: six eight months, I did this show on like two
- 28:09Speaker 4: hours of sleep. But it was because I couldn't There's
- 28:12Speaker 4: no way I could look into the eyes of the
- 28:13Speaker 4: kids that I made a commitment to that I asked
- 28:15Speaker 4: them to make a commitment to me and say, sorry, folks,
- 28:19Speaker 4: this is the direction that I want to go. This
- 28:21Speaker 4: is a better opportunity for me and my family. You
- 28:24Speaker 4: get screwed because of it, and I just couldn't do it.
- 28:26Speaker 4: And yet that's exactly what he did. And if if
- 28:29Speaker 4: LSU wasn't about letting him, you know, see through to
- 28:33Speaker 4: the finish line what he had committed to for this
- 28:35Speaker 4: season at least, then why are you wanting to go there?
- 28:39Speaker 4: And why do you want a guy that's okay with
- 28:41Speaker 4: leaving his team in the lurch like that? To me,
- 28:43Speaker 4: it's and he's so many wrongs. He would argue that, hey,
- 28:45Speaker 4: I wanted to coach them the rest of the way.
- 28:47Speaker 4: But just to take your analogy further, if you did
- 28:50Speaker 4: take say another radio job or something in our the
- 28:54Speaker 4: family of radio, when you were under contract here, there's
- 28:59Speaker 4: no way that anyone's going to let you go to
- 29:03Speaker 4: a rival and while you're still here, right and you're trying,
- 29:09Speaker 4: and all of your focus is on the making the
- 29:13Speaker 4: other program better than the one that he's currently at, right,
- 29:17Speaker 4: I mean, that's insane for the people that are.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and you know a lot of people have
- 29:22Speaker 1: been saying, well, if you want to blame someone, blame
- 29:24Speaker 1: the college calendar. Well, the college calendar is absolutely screwed up.
- 29:27Speaker 1: It is beyond ridiculous. The fact that signing day is tomorrow,
- 29:31Speaker 1: and part of the reason that Lane had to leave
- 29:34Speaker 1: now is so that he could start recruiting there.
- 29:37Speaker 2: It like all of that is is really screwed up.
- 29:40Speaker 1: But it's more about the fact that the way he yeah,
- 29:44Speaker 1: the way he did it, the way he was like, well,
- 29:46Speaker 1: but this is what I want, and if I'm not
- 29:48Speaker 1: going to get it, then I'm going to take all
- 29:51Speaker 1: of my assistant coaches with me, and assistant coaches, if
- 29:54Speaker 1: you don't get on the plane with me, then you
- 29:56Speaker 1: don't have a job later. As opposed to saying, you
- 29:58Speaker 1: know what, if I'm really respectful of this program that
- 30:00Speaker 1: I spent six years trying to improve, and I'm really
- 30:03Speaker 1: respectful of these kids that I've spent all this time
- 30:05Speaker 1: coaching and that have given me all that time, I'd say,
- 30:08Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna go when the season's over,
- 30:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to the assistant coaches and we're gonna
- 30:13Speaker 1: figure it.
- 30:13Speaker 4: Out one thousand percent wrong? What's so hard about that?
- 30:16Speaker 2: Nothing?
- 30:16Speaker 3: And instead, you're not gonna let me coach old mistress
- 30:19Speaker 3: because I'm going to LSU.
- 30:21Speaker 4: Who you hate.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Well, then I'm gonna rally up all the coaches and
- 30:25Speaker 3: you're not gonna have anybody coach these kids, and you're
- 30:27Speaker 3: gonna be embarrassed. Why would you want to embarrass the
- 30:30Speaker 3: kids when you've been saying the whole time it's about
- 30:32Speaker 3: these kids. Yeah, I just can't stomach hypocrisy. No, I
- 30:37Speaker 3: just can't stomach hypocrisy. And you know, you threw out
- 30:41Speaker 3: something yesterday about you know, you can't throw stones because
- 30:46Speaker 3: if if you've been in that position before, you know,
- 30:49Speaker 3: maybe you would take the job. Well, I can throw
- 30:52Speaker 3: stones because I've been in that position before. I have
- 30:56Speaker 3: been offered more money and to take a better job
- 30:59Speaker 3: with a better company, but it was gonna leave so
- 31:02Speaker 3: much damage to the people that I cared about that
- 31:05Speaker 3: I didn't take it, and I lost it, and they
- 31:07Speaker 3: wouldn't wait for me, and so I lost it. So
- 31:10Speaker 3: I'm not saying what I did was right, because it
- 31:11Speaker 3: really didn't turn out well for me. Maybe, so maybe
- 31:15Speaker 3: what I did was wrong. Maybe it was stupid. But
- 31:18Speaker 3: if the if the criteria is you can't criticize Lane Criff,
- 31:22Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin unless you yourself have passed up more money
- 31:26Speaker 3: to do the right noble thing.
- 31:28Speaker 4: Welly qualify for that. I can tell you that much
- 31:31Speaker 4: right now.
- 31:32Speaker 3: So I'm gonna throw my stones because my house has
- 31:35Speaker 3: not made of glass on this particular topic.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Yeah. And also, that's not why people are throwing stones.
- 31:40Speaker 1: It's about all the other crap that he did. You know,
- 31:43Speaker 1: nobody's saying like, well, how dare you take that job?
- 31:45Speaker 2: No one's saying that.
- 31:46Speaker 1: It's about the way you did it. Yeah, And I
- 31:49Speaker 1: think we could all sit there and say none of
- 31:51Speaker 1: us would do it the way he did it, So
- 31:52Speaker 1: we should all be able to throw stones at him.
- 31:54Speaker 4: If there is so.
- 31:55Speaker 3: If this is, if this is a line that can
- 31:58Speaker 3: be crossed now that you I joked with coach when
- 32:01Speaker 3: you left the Packers, did you leave it with playoff
- 32:03Speaker 3: games still on the board?
- 32:06Speaker 4: And I don't think they qualified for the playoffs if
- 32:08Speaker 4: I remember his last year with Green Bay. But that's
- 32:11Speaker 4: what he did. We'd never see that in the NFL.
- 32:13Speaker 3: Even Bill Parcells coached all the way to the Super
- 32:15Speaker 3: Bowl when everybody knows that he was leaving afterwards, and
- 32:19Speaker 3: it ended up being a distraction I think to the team.
- 32:22Speaker 3: But he coached it all the way through. So if
- 32:25Speaker 3: because of the calendar and it is supposed to change
- 32:29Speaker 3: in the future, that that just frees you of any
- 32:32Speaker 3: responsibility to what you currently have at your fingertips at
- 32:37Speaker 3: your current job, then where is the one do?
- 32:40Speaker 4: Is there not a line anymore?
- 32:41Speaker 3: We'll discuss that next Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Yeah,
- 32:45Speaker 3: we were talking about Lane Kivin. There's a lot more
- 32:47Speaker 3: to this story. As a matter of fact, I know
- 32:50Speaker 3: a lot of people are like, well, it's the calendar,
- 32:52Speaker 3: it's the calendar, it's the count. Yes, the calendar is
- 32:54Speaker 3: screwed up. Ashley made that point, the football calendar. I
- 32:57Speaker 3: think they are correcting it for the future. Yes, that
- 33:00Speaker 3: you shouldn't have before the playoff any kind of signing
- 33:04Speaker 3: period for goodness sake, because anybody that is taking a
- 33:07Speaker 3: new job probably wants to be able to focus either
- 33:10Speaker 3: on their team or on the recruiting for the new position.
- 33:15Speaker 4: So I certainly get that.
- 33:16Speaker 3: But right now, Bob Chesney's leading James Madison for UCLA,
- 33:20Speaker 3: and because the situation is different. It's James Madison all
- 33:26Speaker 3: the way up to UCLA. They're letting him coach out
- 33:29Speaker 3: the playoff because not a rival, and it's all obviously
- 33:33Speaker 3: a much better opportunity for Bob Chesney. So James Madison's
- 33:37Speaker 3: not gonna let that get in the way, nor are
- 33:38Speaker 3: they going to bring any risk or harm to their
- 33:41Speaker 3: opportunity to get into the playoffs. It might be the
- 33:43Speaker 3: only time they ever do it. So different situation. Like
- 33:47Speaker 3: if if Lane Kifvin had a dollar an a LSU
- 33:50Speaker 3: was giving him one hundred, then yeah, I think everybody
- 33:54Speaker 3: would say, well, you got you gotta do what you
- 33:56Speaker 3: gotta do, and they might even let him coach it.
- 33:58Speaker 3: But Lane Kivin has one hundred dollars and LSU is
- 34:00Speaker 3: giving him one hundred dollars. He's just choosing another place,
- 34:06Speaker 3: you know that has maybe a better opportunity to win.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Kalani Sataki from BYU apparently the center of the Penn
- 34:13Speaker 3: State head coaching search right now, center of the Penn
- 34:17Speaker 3: State head coaching search right now.
- 34:19Speaker 4: You know what that says to me?
- 34:21Speaker 3: The jobs is and Penn State's gonna wait until BYU
- 34:24Speaker 3: season's over.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Wow, what's that like?
- 34:26Speaker 4: Well, what's that like?
- 34:29Speaker 3: I mean, I get that the calendar works against this
- 34:32Speaker 3: process right now, but there are a million ways that
- 34:35Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin couldn't have could have done this better. And
- 34:37Speaker 3: I just cannot celebrate anything where you go with a
- 34:41Speaker 3: group of young men and you're their coach, and you
- 34:43Speaker 3: lure them to your college and you make all these
- 34:45Speaker 3: promises and everything else, and then you abandon them for
- 34:49Speaker 3: an extra dollar at the moment of the season where
- 34:53Speaker 3: they have the chance to pull off something that was
- 34:56Speaker 3: their dream, was your dream with them? I mean, is
- 35:00Speaker 3: the line Bucky? I mean, if at halftime of the
- 35:03Speaker 3: National championship game, somebody comes into the locker room and says,
- 35:07Speaker 3: I'll give you you know, Elon Musk comes into halftime
- 35:11Speaker 3: of the National Championship game tells Kirby Smart, I'll give
- 35:14Speaker 3: you a billion dollars to stop coaching right now.
- 35:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, or not even that billion.
- 35:20Speaker 3: Might you might do it, Yeah, but I'll give you
- 35:22Speaker 3: an extra million than what you're making right now to
- 35:25Speaker 3: leave right now in the middle of this game.
- 35:28Speaker 4: Guys, I have no choice. It's a million dollars, right
- 35:31Speaker 4: I gotta go.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Good luck in the second half I do love you,
- 35:34Speaker 3: even though you'll probably never believe that again.
- 35:36Speaker 4: It's crazy how you just used that and yet that
- 35:40Speaker 4: we're not that far away from that's the next step. Yeah,
- 35:43Speaker 4: And that's ridiculous if you think about it, because it's
- 35:46Speaker 4: just how shady that whole situation could be, would be,
- 35:49Speaker 4: should be. It just plain and simple. There's ripple effects
- 35:52Speaker 4: to the whole thing because the signing period, like Ashley said,
- 35:55Speaker 4: is right around the corner. Then if you're gonna take
- 35:58Speaker 4: another job, then the other job wants you to start
- 36:01Speaker 4: doing your job as soon as possible, regardless of whether
- 36:04Speaker 4: or not it's with you know, detrimental to another team,
- 36:08Speaker 4: especially if it's detrimental to another team that plays in
- 36:10Speaker 4: the same sandbox. And yet you want to keep coaching
- 36:13Speaker 4: because yeah, I want to, you know, that's a noble
- 36:14Speaker 4: thing to do. I'm gonna I'm gonna see this thing
- 36:16Speaker 4: to the finish line. No, seeon at the finish line
- 36:19Speaker 4: is you tell Lsu I'm gonna take the job, but
- 36:22Speaker 4: you gotta wait. I have to see this to the
- 36:25Speaker 4: I can't quit right now now. That is still unfortunate
- 36:29Speaker 4: for ole miss because if he runs this thing through
- 36:31Speaker 4: and they go win a NASS championship. He when he leaves,
- 36:33Speaker 4: he's going to have built even more rapport with those kids,
- 36:37Speaker 4: and a lot of them are gonna jump ship and
- 36:38Speaker 4: go to LSU with him.
- 36:39Speaker 3: But I think they'll accomplished and like, yeah, it was
- 36:43Speaker 3: awesome coach, good luck? Not really yeah, now good luck.
- 36:48Speaker 3: I guess Yeah, it's good knowing you.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't think there's many kids in that program,
- 36:53Speaker 4: young men in that program that are feeling real good
- 36:56Speaker 4: about whatever it was that he came in and said
- 36:58Speaker 4: in the meeting that he's leaving.
- 36:59Speaker 3: Well, can uys tell us two weeks ago how we
- 37:02Speaker 3: needed to beat this all? This the ass of this team?
- 37:05Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Well And here's part of the problem too, right, is
- 37:08Speaker 1: the way LSU has already set themselves up. You fire
- 37:11Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, and so now you've got your interim head
- 37:14Speaker 1: coach this year, and then you've got all these people
- 37:17Speaker 1: that Brian Kelly had recruited or somebody had recruited, who
- 37:20Speaker 1: are now waiting to find out who your next coach is.
- 37:22Speaker 1: So they're not going to commit until they know who
- 37:25Speaker 1: is coaching. Again, more of a calendar issue, right, because
- 37:28Speaker 1: it shouldn't be happening right now here in the middle
- 37:30Speaker 1: of the season as teams are vying for a championship.
- 37:33Speaker 1: But they' This is the ongoing thing with college football
- 37:36Speaker 1: is they just can't figure out to set themselves up
- 37:40Speaker 1: for success.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Right.
- 37:41Speaker 2: It's like, well, let's let this whole thing go off
- 37:43Speaker 2: the rails first, then we'll just reel it back in.
- 37:46Speaker 2: That's the better way to do it. It's not the
- 37:48Speaker 2: better way to do it.
- 37:49Speaker 4: Well, we are.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Certainly in this awkward phase of going from childhood into
- 37:55Speaker 3: adolescents into adult them. Yeah, hopefully with college sports, but
- 37:59Speaker 3: we are still in that awkward face. Things have happened
- 38:01Speaker 3: that have surprised us all that we didn't see coming.
- 38:05Speaker 3: And yet I do believe that there are people who
- 38:08Speaker 3: should be more responsible to respect boundaries, even if they
- 38:12Speaker 3: are at the current moment a little smear, Yeah, absolutely,
- 38:17Speaker 3: And to me, an adult would do that, And I
- 38:21Speaker 3: just don't think Lane Kiffen qualifies for that. All right,
- 38:24Speaker 3: coming up next Your Headlines plus Greg Bell on Sports
- 38:26Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
