0:41
Speaker 1: of course thanks to Fanatics for being an affiliate partner
0:44
Speaker 1: of the show and lou what away for Fanatics Friday
0:48
Speaker 1: yesterday with Jay Paterno. I mean, come on, that was
0:52
Speaker 1: such a wealth of college football knowledge from a legendary
0:55
Speaker 1: family right.
0:56
Speaker 2: There, Alex, thanks for having me again as we all ways, Uh,
1:01
Speaker 2: it was a tremendous interview. I enjoyed it. You were tremendous.
1:05
Speaker 2: It was you got you and and Jay had great chemistry.
1:08
Speaker 2: There was a great, great pace of the interview and
1:10
Speaker 2: anybody who wants to talk about the state of college
1:13
Speaker 2: football today, even going back to uh some Penn State
1:16
Speaker 2: Joe Paterno history. Uh it was. It's it's definitely worth
1:21
Speaker 2: worth listening to. So anybody out there I would listen
1:24
Speaker 2: to that. That interview between you and j Priturnal.
1:28
Speaker 1: It was excellent and hopefully we have one as the
1:32
Speaker 1: Nitney lines run continues. Look, Saint Mary's is actually a
1:35
Speaker 1: really formidable candidate, you know, competitor. But Penn State has
1:40
Speaker 1: an edge. I told with him, yes, Air Drew Aller
1:42
Speaker 1: and you know they're they're tight end as well. They
1:45
Speaker 1: should win today. I mean, that's why they played the game.
1:47
Speaker 2: Though SMU is a threat. They have good speed, they
1:50
Speaker 2: have good athletes. Uh they've they've done a spectacular job
1:55
Speaker 2: in their first year in the powerful conference, going undefeated
1:58
Speaker 2: the regular season in the a C.
2:00
Speaker 3: See. They have good team speed.
2:02
Speaker 2: Jennings their quarterback, who did not have a good first
2:04
Speaker 2: half against Clemson the ACC Championship game but bounce back
2:08
Speaker 2: in the second half, is somebody to be worried about.
2:11
Speaker 2: That being said, Penn State has a deeper roster. Penn
2:15
Speaker 2: State has probably the more talented roster. They'll be playing
2:20
Speaker 2: in Happy Valley and will probably be about twenty five degrees.
2:24
Speaker 2: Southern Methodist plays out of Dallas, so they're not used
2:27
Speaker 2: to this type of weather, so it'll it'll be an
2:30
Speaker 2: interesting game. I think out of all the road games,
2:37
Speaker 2: this would probably be the second road team that I
2:40
Speaker 2: think would have a chance to win, you know, after
2:43
Speaker 2: Tennessee and Ohio State tonight, but Penn State should advance
2:48
Speaker 2: to the Fiesta Ball against both Boise State, and as
2:52
Speaker 2: we said last week, you know, I really think the
2:55
Speaker 2: lower half of the bracket is where you want to be.
2:59
Speaker 2: Notre Dame obviously advancing last night with an emphatic win.
3:04
Speaker 2: The score the closeness of the final score does not
3:07
Speaker 2: indicate how well Notre Dame was in control of that game,
3:12
Speaker 2: but being in the lower half of that bracket, especially
3:16
Speaker 2: at Carson Beck, it seems like he's going to be
3:18
Speaker 2: out for the entire playoff. I think Notre Dame had
3:21
Speaker 2: a great chance to beat Georgia even if Beck was healthy.
3:26
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a low scoring game, and
3:28
Speaker 2: the Penn State and Boise State game is going to
3:30
Speaker 2: be a little bit interesting. In the Fiesta bole, because
3:33
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be points scored in that game.
3:35
Speaker 2: But again, Penn State has to win today. Obviously I
3:37
Speaker 2: think they will. But SMU has done a great job
3:41
Speaker 2: this year in elevating from a group of five program
3:47
Speaker 2: to a power conference like the ACC.
3:51
Speaker 1: You know, Lou, we talked about coaches and quarterback combos
3:54
Speaker 1: and I've watched and Gaby and I have watched Penn State,
3:58
Speaker 1: and the Aler Franklin duo is great. I mean I
4:01
Speaker 1: remember back in the Minnesota game, Franklin sort of yelled
4:05
Speaker 1: at him and then came back and, you know, encourage
4:07
Speaker 1: him a couple of minutes later. But they have a
4:09
Speaker 1: good combination and I think that's why Penn State's where
4:11
Speaker 1: they are right now today.
4:14
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to talk about coaches, the coaches
4:17
Speaker 2: with the most pressure on them in this first round
4:19
Speaker 2: and probably even throughout the College Playoff are going to
4:23
Speaker 2: be Ryan Day of Ohio State and James Franklin of
4:27
Speaker 2: Penn State. I mean, James Franklin's a lot of his
4:30
Speaker 2: in game decisions have been questioned. He's one in fourteen
4:35
Speaker 2: against top ten teams in his.
4:39
Speaker 3: Tenure at Penn State.
4:40
Speaker 2: So he's been successful to a point but hasn't gotten
4:43
Speaker 2: him over the home, just like Ryan Day hasn't against Michigan,
4:47
Speaker 2: being one in four against Michigan. So that the pressure
4:51
Speaker 2: is on these guys, Alex, They're gonna feel it tonight
4:55
Speaker 2: if it's a close game and there's a.
4:57
Speaker 3: Key decision, do I go for it? Do I kick
4:59
Speaker 3: a field goal?
5:00
Speaker 2: Do I punt a play call that may not be effective,
5:07
Speaker 2: that may happen. Yeah, these guys are gonna be under
5:10
Speaker 2: the pressure pressure tonight. I think Ryan Days under more
5:13
Speaker 2: pressure because the Ohio media that follows Ohio State really
5:21
Speaker 2: could be really just relentless, well unforgiving.
5:28
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the river that that downtown Columbus has.
5:33
Speaker 1: You know, Tennessee bands want to put it in the
5:35
Speaker 1: Shoto River, I think that's how you say it, which
5:37
Speaker 1: is in Columbus downtown. So maybe maybe a gopals would
5:40
Speaker 1: be in the river for Tennessee tonight. I'm hoping so
5:43
Speaker 1: is someone who is also a fan of Michigan. Man,
5:46
Speaker 1: there are a few teams out there I follow now
5:48
Speaker 1: I think of it. But let me talk about last night.
5:51
Speaker 1: You mentioned the score about Notre Dame, but Riley Leonard
5:55
Speaker 1: and Riley we trust. I was saying it all night,
5:57
Speaker 1: because the kid can run, the kid can pass, and
6:00
Speaker 1: they blew the doors off Indiana last night. I know
6:03
Speaker 1: the scores twenty seven to seventeen, but the last I
6:05
Speaker 1: saw it was twenty seven three or something like that.
6:08
Speaker 1: I mean, Riley Leonard owned the night. Notre Dame owned
6:12
Speaker 1: the night. And you talk about a coach, I'm really
6:14
Speaker 1: proud of Marcus Freeman. Took the really escaping of Brian
6:21
Speaker 1: Kelly and turned it into something amazing with this program.
6:24
Speaker 1: I mean, Kelly left them in the dust. Freeman had
6:27
Speaker 1: to pick up the pieces and now he's got them
6:30
Speaker 1: a couple of games away from the final again. You know,
6:33
Speaker 1: it's just it's amazing when he's done. I'm really proud
6:36
Speaker 1: of that guy. That head coach.
6:38
Speaker 3: Well, Marcus Freeman has done a great job.
6:40
Speaker 2: Obviously, you know the surprising departure of Brian Kelly a
6:44
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, and he's done an amazing job.
6:47
Speaker 2: After Game two where they were, you know, thirty point
6:51
Speaker 2: favorites and lost that home to Northern Illinois and they
6:54
Speaker 2: haven't lost since. Is this an all time Notre Dame team?
6:58
Speaker 3: It is not. Is this a team to win the
7:00
Speaker 3: national Championship.
7:01
Speaker 2: I think it is, and you know, I've been on
7:04
Speaker 2: I've been on them for a while now as they
7:06
Speaker 2: progress store in the second half of the season. I mean,
7:08
Speaker 2: I think they have a great shot to get to
7:13
Speaker 2: the final and probably I think Oregon will probably get there.
7:18
Speaker 3: They have a great shot.
7:19
Speaker 2: They're physical, like we said they they run the ball
7:22
Speaker 2: last night, even after the ninety eight yard run by
7:25
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love, they only ran for ninety five more. So,
7:29
Speaker 2: you know, in Indiana has has done a spectacular job.
7:31
Speaker 2: I mean, they had won They won eleven games this year,
7:34
Speaker 2: and which was more than they won the last.
7:37
Speaker 3: Three years combined.
7:38
Speaker 2: They have the most losses in the history of the NCAA.
7:42
Speaker 2: In the history of the NCAA as far as losses go,
7:46
Speaker 2: they have small games than anybody.
7:48
Speaker 3: So what.
7:50
Speaker 2: Sinnetti has done with them in his first year as
7:52
Speaker 2: coaches is beyond remarkable. But Notre Dame was physical they
7:58
Speaker 2: I think that's what's gonna have happened right throughout these playoffs.
8:02
Speaker 2: The Notre Dame Georgia game, I think is gonna be
8:07
Speaker 2: a knockdown drag out of fair of physicality. I think
8:12
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a low scoring game. I think it's
8:13
Speaker 2: gonna be a thirteen to ten game. Again, we don't
8:16
Speaker 2: know for sure. It doesn't look like Carson Beck is
8:20
Speaker 2: gonna play at all the playoffs. Gunners, you know Stockton,
8:26
Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's an experience. I cannot see I
8:30
Speaker 2: cannot see Notre Dame losing. But I think the game
8:32
Speaker 2: is going.
8:32
Speaker 3: To be tight. But we'll see. It's still a ten
8:35
Speaker 3: days away.
8:36
Speaker 2: I really, as I said, I really, I really like
8:39
Speaker 2: Notre Dame right now.
8:40
Speaker 3: I really do in that bottom half of the bracket.
8:43
Speaker 1: It's so funny. I was wearing my Irish shirt and
8:45
Speaker 1: I happened to meet one of Arthur I Dallas especiallys
8:48
Speaker 1: last night at his party. And his nephew is Stockton
8:51
Speaker 1: starting against starting against Notre Dame next week. How funny
8:55
Speaker 1: is that? So I met his uncle last night.
8:57
Speaker 2: Well that is funny now, one guy. I really an
9:00
Speaker 2: unsung hero for Notre Dame. Jordan's Faison caught seven balls
9:06
Speaker 2: for eighty nine yards last night. He had the big
9:08
Speaker 2: second half kickoff returned, and he was also an outstanding
9:11
Speaker 2: midfielder on their national championship team that won the national
9:16
Speaker 2: championship back in back in May and he walked on.
9:20
Speaker 3: The middle last year.
9:22
Speaker 2: He won, He won the MVP and Sun Bowl last year.
9:28
Speaker 2: And that that that kid has been a great under
9:31
Speaker 2: the radar job for coach Freeman and Notre Dame. Not
9:36
Speaker 2: Dame has something going. They have something.
9:38
Speaker 3: They have some calmer going for them right now. So
9:40
Speaker 3: we'll see.
9:42
Speaker 1: No And as I said earlier in Riley, we trust.
9:44
Speaker 1: I mean what a pick. You talk about the benefits
9:48
Speaker 1: of the transfer portal, Well, Notre Dame has certainly benefited
9:51
Speaker 1: from this transfer from Duke and it's shown. I guess
9:54
Speaker 1: after week two people are a little worried, but he's
9:56
Speaker 1: really shown his He's earned a shamrocks if you if
10:00
Speaker 1: you ask me, I agree, Well, what else is on
10:04
Speaker 1: your mind this week? Because obviously we haven't even covered
10:06
Speaker 1: the NFL because locally it's not good. I am happy
10:10
Speaker 1: for Denver and Sean Payton because you know, bow Knicks
10:14
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit in the beginning of the season,
10:16
Speaker 1: but look at him. He is in the running for Offen,
10:20
Speaker 1: you know, Rookie of the Year.
10:21
Speaker 3: Am I right, absolutely no doubt about it.
10:24
Speaker 2: I mean, after his first four weeks, bow Knicks, you know,
10:28
Speaker 2: looked like a look like a rookie and looked like
10:30
Speaker 2: he had a long way to go, and he did.
10:32
Speaker 3: But he's closed the gap so so much.
10:35
Speaker 2: He's uh, I think he's terrific, and uh, I think
10:39
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna be either him or Jayden Daniels for
10:42
Speaker 2: the offensive Rookie of the Year in the in the NFL.
10:45
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to wait and see how the
10:47
Speaker 2: last four weeks play out. I never thought Denver would
10:49
Speaker 2: be in the position that they're in, but that's uh,
10:53
Speaker 2: you know, that is obviously a credit to to Sean Payton.
10:57
Speaker 1: Uh.
10:57
Speaker 3: They've they've done They've done it. They've done a terrific job.
11:00
Speaker 2: But tomorrow we're going to see maybe a changing of
11:05
Speaker 2: the guard, probably for good. And when Michael Penix starts
11:09
Speaker 2: for Atlanta, and you remember everybody was on Atlanta and
11:14
Speaker 2: criticizing them for drafting Michael Pennock's eighth overall even though
11:19
Speaker 2: he had already signed Kirk Cousins, who's coming off that
11:23
Speaker 2: terrible injury that Achilles tendentire and obviously it has not
11:29
Speaker 2: been a good year for Cousins physically. It looks like
11:32
Speaker 2: he might have lost some of his arm strength, he's
11:35
Speaker 2: definitely hesitant. He's had some good games, I mean, for
11:39
Speaker 2: five hundred yards in the game.
11:40
Speaker 3: Earlier in this year.
11:41
Speaker 2: But a report ESPN Adam Schechter reporting that the Falcons
11:47
Speaker 2: are going to cut him by March seventeenth so that
11:51
Speaker 2: he doesn't get his tenth ten million dollar roster bonus.
11:55
Speaker 2: So he will probably be a free agent again and
11:59
Speaker 2: somebody's looking for a quarterback.
12:00
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's done.
12:02
Speaker 2: Next year, he'll have a year recovered from the from
12:08
Speaker 2: the Achilles, so we'll be here further down in recovery.
12:12
Speaker 2: And you know, you can get them like like a
12:15
Speaker 2: little bit, and I don't know how exactly if they
12:17
Speaker 2: line up, just like how the Steelers got Russell Wilson.
12:20
Speaker 2: They got them basically for minimum money, and you know,
12:23
Speaker 2: the Falcons would would have to pay the difference of
12:25
Speaker 2: somebody signs cousins, and in the league, as we talk
12:28
Speaker 2: about every week, where quarterbacks are at a premium, I
12:33
Speaker 2: assume he will be on somebody else's roster next year.
12:39
Speaker 2: So they paid him ninety million dollars in fourteen games, Alex.
12:42
Speaker 2: Pretty good, that's pretty that's a pretty good job if
12:45
Speaker 2: you can get it.
12:47
Speaker 1: I know, and I'll tell you I made this joke
12:50
Speaker 1: to a few of my friends. I said, you know,
12:54
Speaker 1: Pendix was supposedly mentored by Cousins, but he learned how
12:57
Speaker 1: to be bench or how not to get like. It
12:59
Speaker 1: just kind of weird how he was supposed to be
13:01
Speaker 1: a mentor now he's filling in. But that's the NFL.
13:05
Speaker 2: Well, and I also think, let's face it, Achilles tendon injuries,
13:09
Speaker 2: they're really hard to come back from. And uh, he
13:13
Speaker 2: got he suffered that Achilles tendon injury like at the
13:17
Speaker 2: end of November. So it's just been about a year
13:20
Speaker 2: and uh, you know we've seen what we've seen it
13:23
Speaker 2: with Rogers. Obviously, his Achilles tendon injury set him back.
13:31
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just even with modern medicine, it's just
13:35
Speaker 2: a really tough injury to come back from.
13:39
Speaker 3: So we'll see.
13:39
Speaker 2: But Kirk Cousins will be in the NFL next year
13:43
Speaker 2: on a quarterback needy team, and we know there's a
13:45
Speaker 2: lot of them.
13:46
Speaker 1: Well one could be the Jets if things are as
13:50
Speaker 1: reports say. I don't even know if I believe them.
13:53
Speaker 1: With Rogers, is he coming back or.
13:56
Speaker 2: Well, in my opinion, if it's going to between mean
14:01
Speaker 2: Rogers and cousins. I'm taking Rogers. I mean, to me,
14:08
Speaker 2: it wouldn't even I would. I wouldn't even have to
14:10
Speaker 2: think twice.
14:10
Speaker 1: I wouldn't either. You don't think then he You don't
14:12
Speaker 1: think he's gonna do the far reincarnation totally. Then you
14:17
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna up to Minnesota like, oh.
14:19
Speaker 2: No, Alex, I think he could. It depends on what
14:21
Speaker 2: the Jets do. I think it's in the Jets hands,
14:24
Speaker 2: and it's in I mean, let's face they're not. They're
14:26
Speaker 2: going to hire a new coach and new general manager
14:28
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be what those guys want to do.
14:31
Speaker 2: And uh, yes, held it could be. You gotta remember
14:35
Speaker 2: Fob was a free agent, so there was no cap
14:37
Speaker 2: pick for the Jets. There'll be a cap hits for
14:41
Speaker 2: the Jets no matter what Rogers does. So we'll have
14:46
Speaker 2: to wait and see. But I could see that, Yeah, No,
14:48
Speaker 2: I could see him playing somewhere next year. I mean,
14:51
Speaker 2: I'll throw out a team where I think that he
14:52
Speaker 2: would probably fit in Pittsburgh. If Pittsburgh gonna continue to
14:56
Speaker 2: go with the with Russell Wilson, I don't know, I'm
15:00
Speaker 2: I mean, let's face it, Pittsburgh is offensively challenged for
15:04
Speaker 2: the most.
15:04
Speaker 3: Part, So we'll see.
15:07
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, or Rogers might say, you
15:09
Speaker 2: know what, I played twenty one years, I'm done.
15:14
Speaker 3: But it's I would It's not gonna be Kirk Cousins.
15:18
Speaker 3: I just not.
15:19
Speaker 2: If it comes down to the two of them, that's
15:22
Speaker 2: for sure. It won't be Kirk Cousins.
15:24
Speaker 1: Well, you know the Vikings, And I've said this too,
15:26
Speaker 1: I think that the worst nightmare for Giants and Jet
15:31
Speaker 1: fans would be that the Vikings are in the Super
15:34
Speaker 1: Bowl with two x quarterbacks of New York And that
15:37
Speaker 1: would be something else of Darnold and Jones, you know,
15:42
Speaker 1: as a as A QB one QB two made it
15:44
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. With the Vikings, it could happen, though,
15:47
Speaker 1: because they are a threat right now across the NFL
15:50
Speaker 1: as much as the Lions. I think the Lions are better,
15:53
Speaker 1: but I feel like the Vikings are there in the running. One.
15:59
Speaker 2: Well, this is the problem the lines right now. Obviously,
16:01
Speaker 2: their offenses spectacular, but they have lost so many guys
16:06
Speaker 2: Alex defensively, they have lost starters, they have lost backups
16:10
Speaker 2: to those starters.
16:13
Speaker 3: They watch when.
16:14
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson went down with the horrible injury to end
16:17
Speaker 1: this season. It just looked awful.
16:20
Speaker 2: They've lost Hutchinson, they lost Alex and Zeone, They've lost cornerbacks,
16:25
Speaker 2: they've lost safeties. They lost three more guys last week
16:29
Speaker 2: and they lost to Buffalo. Their offense is prolific and healthy,
16:34
Speaker 2: but fifty two the defensive starters and backups are injured.
16:40
Speaker 2: And that's it's hard. That's why you can never look
16:42
Speaker 2: way ahead in the NFL. It's week to week. So
16:48
Speaker 2: right now because of their health, and it could change
16:51
Speaker 2: in two weeks, could change tomorrow. I would have to
16:55
Speaker 2: say Philadelphia would be the lead, the lead dog to
17:00
Speaker 2: get to the super Bowl right now in the NFL,
17:02
Speaker 2: just because of hell.
17:04
Speaker 1: And how about that turnaround? Remember last year we were like,
17:06
Speaker 1: what is Sirianni doing? They kept losing and now they're back,
17:10
Speaker 1: you know atop the NFC's it's it's that turnaround. And
17:14
Speaker 1: you know, Saquon is a big part of that. I
17:16
Speaker 1: realized that. And he's just on a better team with
17:20
Speaker 1: better protection. I'm gonna just say that right here. He
17:22
Speaker 1: didn't have the protection with the Giants. Look what he
17:24
Speaker 1: can do with a great front line, and they have
17:28
Speaker 1: a great front line.
17:28
Speaker 2: Alex, you are right. Their front line, that offensive line
17:32
Speaker 2: is my god, it's tremendous.
17:35
Speaker 1: And that's without you know, because I thought Kelsey retired, right,
17:38
Speaker 1: So that's without Jason Kelsey, a new center.
17:40
Speaker 3: That's great.
17:41
Speaker 1: It's just it's still a solid front line for the Eagles.
17:45
Speaker 1: All right. You mentioned Buffalo, and last week I had
17:49
Speaker 1: read somewhere where they were arresting some guys I don't
17:52
Speaker 1: know against the Lions. I really don't want the Bills
17:55
Speaker 1: that took there to take their pedal off the metal
17:56
Speaker 1: because they could get the first seed in this conference.
17:59
Speaker 1: And I know what they did last year with the
18:01
Speaker 1: first seed, but give them another chance, like get get
18:04
Speaker 1: that top seed. I think they know they deserve it.
18:07
Speaker 1: Allan deserves the host every home game because of his
18:10
Speaker 1: you know, he's m VP type year. Let's just say
18:12
Speaker 1: that they should not with their uh take the put
18:16
Speaker 1: off the pedal, if you will. They should keep going
18:18
Speaker 1: and get that first seed.
18:19
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Alex. They should. They should keep
18:23
Speaker 3: the pedal to the medal. Uh and uh.
18:27
Speaker 2: I think that they should try to get that one seed.
18:31
Speaker 2: I don't know how badly Mahomes is Patrick Mahoons' ankle
18:36
Speaker 2: injury is apparently he's playing the say afternoon against against Houston,
18:42
Speaker 2: and then they got to play in four days. You know,
18:45
Speaker 2: the four teams that playing, they are going to be
18:47
Speaker 2: switching opponents and playing on Christmas Day. And you heard
18:51
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins complaining about playing three games in eleven days,
18:54
Speaker 2: and you've heard me complain about that early in the year.
18:57
Speaker 2: The Jets in their first eight games, eight nine game
19:00
Speaker 2: have to play twice, three.
19:01
Speaker 3: Games in eleven days.
19:02
Speaker 2: And as DeAndre Hopkins said the other day, the NFL
19:06
Speaker 2: is always talking about player safety and then they're having
19:09
Speaker 2: us play three games in eleven days this late in
19:12
Speaker 2: the season.
19:13
Speaker 3: He's one hundred correct.
19:15
Speaker 2: And you know, the greedy NFL commissioner, the greedy NFL
19:19
Speaker 2: owners are just looking to get every last dollar out
19:23
Speaker 2: of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Peacock, NBCCBS, ABC, Slash, ESPN.
19:30
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable, it really is.
19:32
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable that that the Players Association allows them to
19:37
Speaker 2: get away with this kind of fracture type scheduling that
19:40
Speaker 2: certainly doesn't help player safety.
19:44
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. So Pittsburgh plays Baltimore today for thirty
19:48
Speaker 1: Houston case at one o'clock. What about Houston is they've
19:54
Speaker 1: had You know, I thought it was going to be
19:56
Speaker 1: a bigger building year with CJ. Stroud, but they've had
19:59
Speaker 1: a year. Right, it seems like Houston fans are not
20:02
Speaker 1: happy where they're at. What's your analysis of them?
20:05
Speaker 2: Because they should be happy because they cluched the playoffs
20:08
Speaker 2: spot with four weeks ago when the UH in the season. Yes,
20:12
Speaker 2: the AFC South is not a great conference, not a
20:15
Speaker 2: great division. We know that, and hash they taken a
20:19
Speaker 2: little bit of a step back. Yeah, they were more
20:21
Speaker 2: dynamic last year, but I think that that they were
20:25
Speaker 2: a good teams Alex two years ago they were two
20:27
Speaker 2: and fourteen, So you know, Rome or a championship team
20:33
Speaker 2: isn't built in a season in the day. Depending on
20:36
Speaker 2: their seating and the and matchups that they're in, they
20:40
Speaker 2: they could definitely UH win a couple of games in
20:43
Speaker 2: the UH postseason.
20:45
Speaker 3: Do I think they'll get to a Super Bowl? Apps?
20:46
Speaker 2: I do not, but they fan if the fans, the
20:50
Speaker 2: fans shouldn't be upset with with the Houston Texas.
20:53
Speaker 3: They're gonna be good for a long time.
20:55
Speaker 1: Well, I think CJ. Stroud's the future, and I know
20:58
Speaker 1: he's only been there too, but the future, he's the
21:01
Speaker 1: now future for that team. Let's switch gears because you know,
21:06
Speaker 1: I know you want to talk about this and this
21:09
Speaker 1: week the Rangers have made a few changes, you know,
21:13
Speaker 1: I mean the Cogo trade surprise me, lou I thought
21:17
Speaker 1: that he should have gotten more of a chance to play.
21:20
Speaker 1: But this whole downstair. I remember last year they went
21:23
Speaker 1: like twelve and twelve during a stretch. This is the
21:26
Speaker 1: worse of a stretch. I mean, I think I'd ever
21:29
Speaker 1: say that because the Rangers never have maybe one game
21:33
Speaker 1: under five hundred stretch at a time. But this is
21:35
Speaker 1: something that I'm not used to in the season. I mean,
21:39
Speaker 1: I'm used to them having the swing, but not like this.
21:42
Speaker 1: Is there just a lost locker room now, lou Is?
21:45
Speaker 1: Is there? I don't getting rid of the truber? Was
21:47
Speaker 1: the answer? Is jury just trying to financials? What's your
21:50
Speaker 1: take on all this?
21:52
Speaker 2: Well, the difference between what happened last year leading up
21:58
Speaker 2: to the All Star Break and this year is last
22:02
Speaker 2: year that they still had the chemistry. This year, it
22:04
Speaker 2: seemed like the chemistry is has broken down, and I
22:10
Speaker 2: you know, Hey, it's Chris Drewy. He puts the roster together.
22:13
Speaker 2: It's it's his Uh, it's it's his decision making on
22:16
Speaker 2: building the roster along with the coach, with with with
22:19
Speaker 2: uh Peter Lavolette. And they're not gonna get rid of Lavote.
22:23
Speaker 2: If they're doing that, then Drewy is looking just to
22:25
Speaker 2: protect himself. Uh, obviously that's his decision. Would make him
22:28
Speaker 2: look bad, But I think he might be messing around
22:31
Speaker 2: a little bit too much with with the roster, and
22:34
Speaker 2: not only that by leaking and I hate to use
22:36
Speaker 2: that term leaking, but by talking about guys before he
22:40
Speaker 2: got before he got rid of them, like we talked about.
22:43
Speaker 2: Crier has been on the block allegedly. I don't know
22:46
Speaker 2: if if that's gonna happen before the trade deadline, but uh,
22:52
Speaker 2: it seems to be a lot of tension in that
22:55
Speaker 2: locker room. And I know they had a meeting with
22:57
Speaker 2: Drury and the players the day before, uh yesterday in Dallas,
23:02
Speaker 2: and the Rangers had a nice win last night thanks
23:04
Speaker 2: to Sterkin, who stopped twenty one power play shots.
23:10
Speaker 1: Gabby Gaby said, what did you say again?
23:14
Speaker 2: Was phenomenal?
23:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, he saved them last night.
23:17
Speaker 2: I mean, uh, and then you know that that was
23:20
Speaker 2: he's their best player and uh to twenty one power
23:24
Speaker 2: play shots that he saved the most is nineteen ninety nine,
23:27
Speaker 2: two thousand season in the NHL. So uh again. But
23:34
Speaker 2: when you see games like last Saturday, that embarrassing loss
23:38
Speaker 2: at the Garden to the Kings, the five to one loss,
23:41
Speaker 2: then they lost the next night to Saint Louis team
23:44
Speaker 2: that that they their roster is better than uh. And
23:48
Speaker 2: then you know they lost the Predators who are going
23:51
Speaker 2: through a rebuilding season. And I got Panaren back last night.
23:56
Speaker 2: You know, he missed a couple of games. That was
23:59
Speaker 2: that was DeAndre Miller is still out, but he was
24:03
Speaker 2: having a nowhere season. When going back to Capocaco, I
24:07
Speaker 2: saw him playing junior and I saw him play in
24:10
Speaker 2: the World Championships, the World Championships, not the junior World Championships,
24:14
Speaker 2: the World Championships, which include NHL players and players from
24:17
Speaker 2: other professional leagues around the world. And he was eighteen
24:20
Speaker 2: years old and he looked like a man, and he
24:23
Speaker 2: did and he didn't look out of place playing against
24:26
Speaker 2: NHL players who were twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven,
24:29
Speaker 2: thirty years old, so I thought he was going to
24:32
Speaker 2: be a star, and he was drafted right behind Jack Hughes. Now,
24:34
Speaker 2: obviously Jack Hughes drafted number one, has established himself and
24:39
Speaker 2: is a much better player than Capocaco. But at that
24:43
Speaker 2: point it was almost like a toss up for the
24:47
Speaker 2: most part, because I really thought Capocaco was going to
24:50
Speaker 2: be a top six forward and he only had sixty
24:56
Speaker 2: one career goals. So but it range is probab seemed
25:00
Speaker 2: to be deeper than we even know. Uh, you know,
25:04
Speaker 2: it's a banajet. He's minus seventeen. You know, Lafonnier signs
25:08
Speaker 2: this big deal. He's minus fourteen, you know, plus minus Alex.
25:15
Speaker 2: If the next sex segment of games leading up to
25:21
Speaker 2: the Four Nations Tournament, where there's gonna be that ten
25:25
Speaker 2: day break from February twelfth to the twentieth, and then
25:29
Speaker 2: I guess they start a couple of days later, it's
25:32
Speaker 2: key for the Rangers. If the Rangers are still in
25:34
Speaker 2: this squadmire and still skating in mud and have and
25:39
Speaker 2: needings to stirk and to bail them out of every game,
25:42
Speaker 2: like he did early in.
25:43
Speaker 3: The season when they started off twelve and four. He
25:46
Speaker 3: covered up all of their Well, he didn't.
25:48
Speaker 1: Allow that whole postseason last year, right either reason why
25:53
Speaker 1: they were even in the Conference final. As far as
25:55
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, Oh.
25:56
Speaker 2: There's no There's no question about it. So if they
25:58
Speaker 2: don't clean up those little details by February twelve, this
26:04
Speaker 2: could be. This could be a lost season for the Rangers,
26:08
Speaker 2: a lost season that Alex I never thought would have
26:12
Speaker 2: happened this year.
26:13
Speaker 3: Never.
26:13
Speaker 2: I really thought it was again a run to the
26:17
Speaker 2: conference finals or the Stanley Cup Finals. It could still happen. Yes,
26:20
Speaker 2: we've seen it in hockey, but it has to turn
26:22
Speaker 2: around soon.
26:24
Speaker 1: But if the Rangers knew, they want to get rid
26:25
Speaker 1: of true, But why name him captain? I'm still trying
26:28
Speaker 1: to figure this.
26:29
Speaker 2: Well, they name they named him captain. Obviously he was
26:31
Speaker 2: captain when before they put him on the block. You know, hey,
26:37
Speaker 2: it happens, I mean, you know, it happens. I mean,
26:42
Speaker 2: let's look at let's look at all these teams, look
26:45
Speaker 2: at andrews Lee. I mean he was on the block
26:48
Speaker 2: last year or a couple of years ago. Should we
26:50
Speaker 2: resign them?
26:51
Speaker 3: That was the talk.
26:52
Speaker 1: Let's stop with Endersley right there, because he is now
26:56
Speaker 1: eighth on the Islanders all time goal scoring list, and
27:00
Speaker 1: I feel like New York didn't hype that up enough.
27:02
Speaker 1: Anders Lee is the heart and soul of the Islanders,
27:04
Speaker 1: and I hope he never leaves that team because he is,
27:08
Speaker 1: as I say, the hert and s all that team.
27:10
Speaker 1: Obviously he was healthy those couple of years, they would
27:12
Speaker 1: have beat Tampa, you know, I believe so.
27:15
Speaker 3: No, he could have.
27:16
Speaker 2: Absolutely he could have made a difference in one of
27:17
Speaker 2: those two conference those final four finals, no doubt about it,
27:23
Speaker 2: you know. So we'll see. But I think the Rangers
27:27
Speaker 2: have to be lifted last night and they have to
27:30
Speaker 2: gain something by seeing how a player likes a stirkin.
27:35
Speaker 2: I mean, gave Huck, gave him everything last night. And
27:38
Speaker 2: if that doesn't start to radiate with the rest of
27:43
Speaker 2: the team in that locker room, that would be disappointing.
27:47
Speaker 1: But we'll see that what happens out there. Am I
27:50
Speaker 1: right that Rempy was back on the ice too, So.
27:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Rempy's a fool. I mean at five minute
27:56
Speaker 2: penalty took last night. He's played twenty two NHL games,
27:59
Speaker 2: He's been booted from for for him, Mike Matt Rempy
28:03
Speaker 2: does not belong in the NHL. He's everything that's wrong
28:06
Speaker 2: with the NHL. I believe in aggressive play. Matt Rempy
28:10
Speaker 2: can't play. That's my opinion.
28:13
Speaker 1: He can't. I'm glad I brought that up because did
28:15
Speaker 1: you did you see?
28:16
Speaker 2: Did you see that hit?
28:17
Speaker 1: I did not.
28:18
Speaker 2: He left his feet, he elbowed, he elbowed the Dallas
28:22
Speaker 2: player in the head. He got kicked out of the game,
28:25
Speaker 2: and he deserved to get kicked out of the game,
28:27
Speaker 2: and he deserved to be suspended. I want to see
28:29
Speaker 2: what the NHL is going to do today. He's gonna
28:31
Speaker 2: be suspended. Matt Rempy's useless. He might be good in
28:34
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties and seventies, he's useless in my opinion.
28:39
Speaker 1: He also doesn't score as much either, so I don't know.
28:42
Speaker 2: He has no skill, Alex. He has no skill except
28:45
Speaker 2: his fists.
28:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, and obviously I do think the Rangers need a
28:50
Speaker 1: big man. Maybe it's not him, but I thought, can.
28:53
Speaker 3: You have got there are guys like that.
28:54
Speaker 2: You're one hundred percent right, a guy like Tom Wilson,
28:58
Speaker 2: who I think goes over the line. But Tom Wilson
29:01
Speaker 2: of the Capitals scores goals. He could score in a
29:04
Speaker 2: power play. Yes, I would consider him a dirty player,
29:07
Speaker 2: no doubt. Remember what he did to Paneren then the
29:12
Speaker 2: a couple.
29:12
Speaker 1: Of years ago for that, and he didn't really get
29:14
Speaker 1: to spend there.
29:15
Speaker 2: Right, But if if Rempy had Tom Wilson's skill, that
29:21
Speaker 2: would be different. But that's just I'm just using as
29:24
Speaker 2: an example. You need aggressive guys, you need heavy body checkers.
29:29
Speaker 2: But again, fantas Shirsturkin last night and the Rangers penalty killed.
29:34
Speaker 2: They were able to kill that five minute penalty that
29:36
Speaker 2: he took with seven minutes to go in the game.
29:39
Speaker 2: Why is he even on the ice with seven minutes
29:41
Speaker 2: to go in the game. I know they would down
29:43
Speaker 2: the forward because they traded top Capocappo and I understand.
29:48
Speaker 2: But again, I think the Rangers still have a chance
29:50
Speaker 2: to be okay. But this next segment leading up to
29:53
Speaker 2: February twelve is going to be the key period. If
30:00
Speaker 2: they get through these, if they get to February twelfth
30:02
Speaker 2: and they're still in decent position, I think they're gonna
30:05
Speaker 2: be okay, and I think they can make a deep run.
30:07
Speaker 1: I do.
30:08
Speaker 2: The town is too good.
30:10
Speaker 1: I think, as everybody knows, just getting in the playoffs
30:12
Speaker 1: is the first step. And then whatever happens from there
30:15
Speaker 1: that that's a new new season. So I just get
30:18
Speaker 1: in the postseason and see what happens next. Hey, Lou,
30:21
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about another segment that we've just finished,
30:24
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup, And you know, I find it kind
30:28
Speaker 1: of ridiculous because it's a segment of the NBA games
30:32
Speaker 1: and I don't even know what you get as a reward,
30:34
Speaker 1: like one extra win. It's such a weird thing. I
30:37
Speaker 1: guess a lot of cash goes with it, too. But hey,
30:40
Speaker 1: the Knicks were in the semifinals, so there's that.
30:43
Speaker 2: But did you excit you?
30:45
Speaker 3: Did you sign you that the Knicks were in the
30:47
Speaker 3: semifinals of a cup?
30:49
Speaker 1: Okay?
30:50
Speaker 2: I mean, let let's put it this way, Alex. The players,
30:55
Speaker 2: the players on each winning team, and these guys are
30:58
Speaker 2: making more money than you could shake a stick out
31:00
Speaker 2: in the NBA got five hundred and fifteen thousand dollars.
31:03
Speaker 2: So every member in the Milwaukee Bucks got five hundred
31:06
Speaker 2: and fifteen thousand dollars winning the Cup. But and that
31:09
Speaker 2: and the championship game between Milwaukee and Oklahoma City doesn't
31:13
Speaker 2: count in the standals.
31:15
Speaker 3: The other games do.
31:17
Speaker 2: But again, if you want to if you want to
31:22
Speaker 2: give it some juice. This is just my my two
31:25
Speaker 2: cents on it. Make it instead of you know, like
31:28
Speaker 2: they have that group play where they this year they
31:30
Speaker 2: played every Friday night in group play. Have have that
31:35
Speaker 2: group play just concentrated for two weeks. Close down the
31:39
Speaker 2: regular season for two weeks and play and play the
31:43
Speaker 2: group play in the semi finals and the finals and
31:47
Speaker 2: the quarters in a two week period and get it
31:49
Speaker 2: over with. But if it's concentrated, I think it would
31:52
Speaker 2: be more interests.
31:53
Speaker 3: There were nights, you know.
31:54
Speaker 1: There are that it's like, it's like, is this an
31:56
Speaker 1: NBA regular season game or an NBA Cup game?
31:58
Speaker 2: Because that's right that your hundred send correct, That's exactly right, Alex.
32:03
Speaker 1: And then the way they designated it just weird is
32:06
Speaker 1: stupid because one night on a Tuesday, it's NBA Cup
32:09
Speaker 1: thing and then the next day's And the only thing
32:12
Speaker 1: I know about it is because the cups are different,
32:14
Speaker 1: the courts are different color entirely.
32:16
Speaker 2: That's right, you're one hundred percent correct.
32:19
Speaker 1: So but you know, I do like when the Knicks
32:22
Speaker 1: are competitive anything because it just is a pride thing
32:25
Speaker 1: for New York. I think that you know, Hey, we're
32:27
Speaker 1: in the semifinal. I don't know, and the Knicks needs
32:29
Speaker 1: some good news here. And I think Carl Let's have
32:32
Speaker 1: a good team. I think Karl Anthony town has made
32:35
Speaker 1: a big difference. And look, it might be, you know,
32:39
Speaker 1: getting rid of Devincenzo as much of a three pointer.
32:41
Speaker 1: Maybe he wasn't that glue in the club, in the
32:45
Speaker 1: locker room. I don't know, but done, something's better with
32:48
Speaker 1: this team with Kat on it.
32:50
Speaker 2: So yeah, Well, the thing is, Cat's just a better
32:53
Speaker 2: player than a Vincenzo or or Julius Randall. I want
32:58
Speaker 2: to know why, out of the clear blue sky, the
33:02
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves so close to getting to the finals all
33:08
Speaker 2: of a sudden a week before training camp, trade Car
33:13
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns. I really want to know why that happened.
33:19
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
33:22
Speaker 2: Well that that's puzzling to me because Minnesota's taken definitely
33:26
Speaker 2: taking a step back.
33:29
Speaker 1: Well they have, and you know, Anthony Towns, I guess
33:32
Speaker 1: you're right. The reason why Minnesota got to where they
33:34
Speaker 1: got to last year.
33:36
Speaker 2: He's an MVP candidate, Alex, He's the.
33:38
Speaker 1: Reason why the Knicks are gonna get where they are,
33:40
Speaker 1: And you know, what everybody last year was talking about
33:44
Speaker 1: workload for Brunton. At least he's got a supporting cast.
33:50
Speaker 1: Not to say Towns is the Soto of the like
33:52
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Yankee Soto, but right now he is
33:55
Speaker 1: taking the pressure off like Soto took the pressure off judge.
33:58
Speaker 1: So it's it's sort of well, I see there, But
34:01
Speaker 1: we'll see how the season plays out for that team.
34:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think the I think they're gonna be
34:07
Speaker 2: They're in I think they're in great shape. First of all,
34:09
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference sticks and let's call it like it is.
34:16
Speaker 2: You got you got Boston, you got you got Cleveland.
34:19
Speaker 2: I don't know how legit Cleveland is, even with their
34:22
Speaker 2: great record. Obviously, they have done a great job so far.
34:27
Speaker 2: Milwaukee seems to be playing better. We'll see if that last.
34:32
Speaker 2: Orlando's a team on the com but their best two
34:34
Speaker 2: players are injured. Of course, the Celtics are the champs
34:39
Speaker 2: and they'll be right there. So this is an opportunity
34:41
Speaker 2: for the Knicks to to go to win more than
34:43
Speaker 2: one round, which they haven't done.
34:45
Speaker 1: Since you know, am I right that they had led
34:47
Speaker 1: the offense?
34:48
Speaker 2: Uh?
34:49
Speaker 1: Categories the NBA? Are they leading offensive categories here.
34:52
Speaker 3: Who's that Alex the Knicks?
34:55
Speaker 1: I heard there?
34:55
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they are that. They they are.
34:58
Speaker 2: They are one of the top offensive teams in the league,
35:00
Speaker 2: and I believe I don't know if they still are,
35:02
Speaker 2: but they were leading the league in points per game.
35:06
Speaker 1: Well there you go, all right, Lou Going back to
35:09
Speaker 1: my original topic here we started with the college football playoff.
35:13
Speaker 1: Did you, growing up watching college football ever think a
35:19
Speaker 1: twelve playoff system wouldever be implemented? And do you think
35:24
Speaker 1: it will work?
35:25
Speaker 3: I think it will work.
35:27
Speaker 2: When I was growing up, they voted for the national champion,
35:32
Speaker 2: which was an embarrassment, and they always say, well, they
35:37
Speaker 2: can't have a playoffs since because of to protect the
35:40
Speaker 2: balls and now start Remember in those days there were
35:43
Speaker 2: only about twelve or thirteen bowls, not the ridiculous amount
35:45
Speaker 2: of games that they are now that are totally meaningless.
35:49
Speaker 2: There should have been a playoff back in the fifties.
35:53
Speaker 2: They really should have. I think it will work. I
35:56
Speaker 2: actually want to see the rest of this playoff, how
35:59
Speaker 2: it goes. I probably I was leaning towards an eighteen playoff,
36:04
Speaker 2: but they went to twelve, and the apparently they might
36:08
Speaker 2: even expand it to fourteen and twenty twenty six. That's
36:12
Speaker 2: what I hear. Who knows that's true or not. Who
36:14
Speaker 2: knows where it will end up. But it's all about
36:16
Speaker 2: TV money, you know. I think it's gonna work.
36:19
Speaker 1: I really do, well, I think so. I think it
36:24
Speaker 1: draws an excitement to it that we haven't seen in
36:27
Speaker 1: a little bit when it comes to ball season because
36:29
Speaker 1: it's sort of downplay. It sort of eliminates all the
36:34
Speaker 1: number of bowl games that seem useless. I hate to
36:37
Speaker 1: say it that way, but it's just like you, you're right,
36:41
Speaker 1: the coverage of the ball games that are too many
36:43
Speaker 1: to begin with. At least it takes a little alleviation
36:46
Speaker 1: from that. It puts it on something worth it, you know,
36:48
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it'll be it'll be a fun one.
36:52
Speaker 1: But you know, Syracuse is in the bowl season too,
36:55
Speaker 1: which is fun, and we get to carry that game
36:57
Speaker 1: on ninety seventy next week.
37:00
Speaker 3: Well, speaking about playoffs.
37:04
Speaker 2: At a little note, that didn't that did not get
37:07
Speaker 2: a lot of notoriety this year. Obviously, the IVY League
37:11
Speaker 2: no longer plays Division one football and they haven't four
37:14
Speaker 2: for a long time, and they play, you know, in
37:18
Speaker 2: the FCS not the FBS. The FBS, the Division one,
37:22
Speaker 2: that's what should be called. But they finally may they're
37:26
Speaker 2: finally coming out of the dark ages a little bit.
37:28
Speaker 3: For the first time ever.
37:29
Speaker 2: They're going to allow their teams, if worthy, to uh
37:33
Speaker 2: participate in the FCS playoffs, So the conference champion will
37:38
Speaker 2: get an automatic bid. And the IVY League never even
37:41
Speaker 2: had a tie breaker, so they would have two way ties,
37:43
Speaker 2: three way ties for the IVY League championship and they're
37:46
Speaker 2: going to come up with a tie breaker. So uh,
37:51
Speaker 2: that's something you look forward to for people who follow
37:53
Speaker 2: the teams here at the Northeast or in the IVY League. Remember,
37:56
Speaker 2: there's no scholarship money for these players in the IVY League.
38:00
Speaker 2: There's no nil there's no graduate transfers, so it's basically
38:05
Speaker 2: still as pure an amateur sport as you can get.
38:09
Speaker 2: But having the champion and maybe some large teams in
38:14
Speaker 2: the IVY League play in a player and the FCS playoffs,
38:16
Speaker 2: I think it's a positive thing.
38:20
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Well, lou this was a great Terminillo's take.
38:23
Speaker 1: We covered it all prior to kickoff of the Big
38:27
Speaker 1: Slate today starting with Pennze sm You enjoy the day, Lou.
38:33
Speaker 2: Alex, thank you, you and Gabby have a wonderful day
38:37
Speaker 2: watch in football and hockey and basketball because that's what
38:39
Speaker 2: I'm going to do.
38:40
Speaker 1: And of course, Merry Christmas because we won't talk to
38:42
Speaker 1: you till after Christmas, so Merry Christmas to you.
38:45
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas, Alex, thank you for another great year of
38:48
Speaker 2: having me on, and I assume we'll talk between New
38:52
Speaker 2: Year's and Christmas with another Terminillo's take.
38:55
Speaker 1: Yes, Christmas week is my favorite week. No matter what
38:58
Speaker 1: I agree much I play about the Bowl season and
39:01
Speaker 1: it's fun to have those Bowl games in between Christmas
39:03
Speaker 1: and New Year's. Okay, it is fun to have them.
39:06
Speaker 3: It is.
39:07
Speaker 2: It makes for good TV watching on a Tuesday afternoon,
39:11
Speaker 2: like at two thirty in the afternoon, that's for sure.
39:13
Speaker 3: Thank you, Alex.
39:14
Speaker 1: All Right, that's Termino's take on One Leg Up with
39:17
Speaker 1: Alex Garrett
