Hutton & Withrow: Titans’ Put Up or Shut Up Moment, NFL Week 1 Storylines + Derek Dooley | Hour 1 · Hutton & Withrow Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, this is longtime football coach Derek Dooley.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: And when I heard that Clay.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Travis was starting another media company, I thought to myself,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: how in the world has this guy who had such
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a bad haircut and sounded like he had marbles in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: his mouth when he was asking me questions as a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: young reporter become this successful? And then when I heard
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that he was hiring these two knuckleheads to host a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: morning show, I realized he must not be as successful
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: as I thought. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Hutton and Withrow Show with Jonathan Hutton and Chad Withrow
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on the Sport and State Network.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: We are out of the gates on Sporting State. It's
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Hutton and Withrow. He's Chad Withrow. I'm Jonathan Hutton. A
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: lot to get to this morning. Thank you, Derek Dooley.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Likes it so much, Chad. He's going to join us
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: in about an hour and a half right here to
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: get us kicked off on the morning. It would be
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: great to talk to the old head coach.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: One thing we know about Derek Dooley, Hutton, is he
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: likes to talk to knuckleheads, as he just introed us
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: in that thing right there. Good news for us. He's
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: someone who's not opposed to talking to a knucklehead or two.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: So Coach Dooley is going to join us a little
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: bit later. Always entertaining. I was talking with my cousin,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: who's a huge Vols fan, and said no matter the
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: disappointment of the close losses in some of those teams,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Derek Dooley is like the girlfriend you can't quit. The
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: guy just always delivered entertainment at every press conference, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I still look back at that era with fondness because
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: of the sound bites he provided as.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: The Tennessee head coach. He will provide some for us today, too. Yes.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Last night's game provided some heartache for us with Hard
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Rock Bet. We had some plays for both New England
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: and Seattle in different ways.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a moment.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Hard Rock Bet is, of course, the sponsor of with
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Sports State and Hutton & Withrow. And how about the
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: new distribution announcement? We are live right now on the

• 3:22
  Speaker 3: if you're on X this morning. Drew Locke, Chad, here
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: we go. So we made our picks for the NFL
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: at sportandstate.com. And my surprises, I guess, of the season,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I have the Patriots and the Bears missing the playoffs.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And it's due to a number of factors. Drew Locke,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: excuse me, Drake May played so well last year without
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: much resources around him. They add A.J.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Brown. He gets hurt in this game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: And I'm sitting there going, this is looking okay for me,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: one of the predictions at least.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: After seeing Seattle come to Nashville with their backups and
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: play very well against the When Sam Darnold went down,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking, they've got this. We've seen this show before.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And they're on 10-0.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I know. I mean, it felt like it was over.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And then, well, Drake May did what to your bet?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: He completely screwed my bet.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: My parlay was destroyed before it even began with Hard
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Rock Bet because Drake May was terrible.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: In the third quarter.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: He was.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: We're not going to sugarcoat things on this show, okay?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I need Drake May to be the guy worthy of
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Diana Rossini's MVP vote. That's what I need in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter, okay? Drake May is being talked about as
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: the future franchise, not just Patriots quarterback. He was being
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: talked about as a future Tom Brady, as a future
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: face of the NFL at one point, okay?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: He's getting A.J. Brown injured on a play.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: He's throwing into traffic where I have no idea why
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: he would do it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs, by the way, also huge disappointment. He had
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a big drop.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: But Drake makes a couple of big plays. Fourth and two,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: he picks it up with his legs. Fourth and nine,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: big throw to Matt Collins on that drive. You've got
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: your team in field goal position.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: All you have to do is not turn it over.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I want the.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Patriots to go win the game in regulation and not
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: worry about overtime. But you cannot get that greedy. When
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: he threw that football, Hutton, I said, it's picked.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: This thing is over. Why? Because it wasn't thrown out
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of bounds.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: You could tell he was throwing it in play the
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: way he threw it off of one foot. Just a
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: horrendous mistake by Drake May. Got to be better in
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: year three to start the season. You had the starting quarterback,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: of a Super Bowl champion that beat you in the
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: last game of the NFL season a year ago go
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: down with a hip injury early in the game.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: The loudest stadium in the NFL was silenced for the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: majority of that game. It's quiet. Here's the other thing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: That interception you were talking about at the end. There
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: were actually two other huge errors on this. Both tackles
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: went low on blocks and whiffed. But the way they
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: did it was the play design. Normally on those situations,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you're going to see a quick pass. But there was
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: not a route by a receiver that was anywhere close
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to the line of scrimmage. If you get the dump off,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: it's a first down at least with what they had
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: in front of them. But every receiver goes towards the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: end zone and there was no dump off. For whatever reason,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: May lobs it up the way he did.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: It was awful. What, three picks in the game?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: But I'm thinking, man, what's the quarterback doing? But also,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the play design leaves him no outlet whenever both defensive
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: ends are howling down on him. He should have just
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: taken the sack and kicked the field goal. Well, or
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: just thrown it completely out of bounds.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: He had a chance. Where he threw it, I thought
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: when he's starting to.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Throw, okay, he's going to throw out of bounds. They're
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: going to get to live to the next play. And instead,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: he puts it in the field of play. And gets
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: picked off, which was just incredibly dumb by Drake May,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: who's not a dumb football player. But, I mean, Hutton,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: to your point about that Patriots schedule and how it's
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: not going to get any easier, I mean, that was
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to go on the road. Again, and this
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: is not me just talking because I lost my bet
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: in my parlay in that game. This is me talking
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: as a fan of the NFL. You're in Seattle, the
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: defending Super Bowl champion. Their starting quarterback goes down on
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: the first series of the season. You have them in
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: a surprise moment. You have a nice play to get
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the pass interference for A.J. Brown on the flea flicker.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: You go up 7-0. You go up 10-0. You're up 10-3.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: You're inside of Seattle territory, driving to put the game
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: away early fourth quarter. And that's the first time you
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: throw it in a double coverage in harm's way. Ball's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: tipped up, and they get the interception. And then it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: off to the races for the Seattle Seahawks.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: The second interception was just bad. He throws it over
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: the middle, doesn't really see the safety. Safety undercuts it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: It's picked up. The first interception was, I'm going to
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: throw it up to Romeo Dobbs, praying.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: That my guy goes up and makes a play. Another punt.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: But there's two guys there. Also, no need to punt.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: You're driving on the play. It wasn't like it was
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: third and 30, and you're throwing it up to the
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: end zone. Time and situation... and the stakes of that game,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: and now knowing you should be 1-0, you should have
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: a win in Seattle under your belt, and instead you're 0-1,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: and now, Hutton, that future schedule looks all the more
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: daunting because of that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Well, see, here's what happened last year. They caught the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: fourth-place schedule. So they're playing their fourth-place teams in the
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: crossover division and conference matchups, right?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So they not only benefit from that, most.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: More than several times, they're catching teams that are coming
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: off of huge games where they lost key players. So
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: key players were inactive whenever they're taking on the Patriots. Now,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: they took advantage of all of that. They won on
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the road. They were excellent on the road. They were
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: a Mike Vrabel coach football team. And this year, after winning,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: they have the first place schedule. They went from the
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: easiest to now the toughest team. And that's not going
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: to be any easy role.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Now, you add A.J.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Brown, he's likely, you know, they're saying ACL. If that's
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: the case, I mean, he's had the knee issue prior
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: when he was in Tennessee. That's... That was a key
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: cog to their offense and a redesign after seeing what
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: didn't help them win the Super Bowl.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And, you know, they missed out on that opportunity. Do
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: they get back? A lot of distractions there, and now
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of early injuries and bad decisions.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: And let's also take our hat off to Drew Locke.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: who's put in a tough spot, but made some big
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: clutch plays, even one running. Uh, I mean, look, I
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: thought he, especially in that fourth quarter played exceptionally well,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: but the fourth down play call to Jackson Smith and
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Jigba shout out to Chris Collinsworth, who called it said,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: when you get these short yardage situations, this is your
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: one chance to get, uh, Jackson Smith and Jigba lined
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: up one-on-one and right. As he's saying that they hit
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: a play to him.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He catches it. He does the rest. Um, Big ups
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to Drew Locke and what he was able to accomplish.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I just leave that game very disappointed in Drake May
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: that you had that Super Bowl performance, which was miserable,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: aided by a miserable offensive line in that game.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: And then you've got every opportunity.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: You know in the NFL the margin for error is
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: so small that any quarterback injury is a death knell
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: for most teams. I would say outside of the San
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Francisco 49ers, so it doesn't matter who you put at quarterback,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: they're going to be the same team every single year.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Under Kyle Shanahan, every other team, when you lose your
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: starting quarterback, you have got to take advantage of that
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: and go win the football game. And they had every opportunity.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: They're up 10-0 at one point. They're driving up 10-3.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: They have a chance to at least tie it to
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: get to overtime late. And their star franchise quarterback, Diana
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Rossini's pick, for most valuable player a year ago, lets
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: them down time and time again.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Very disappointing. No doubt Coach of the Year on the sideline, too,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: for that team, right? No doubt.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: No doubt her vote for Coach of the Year. And
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I thought the Vrabel defense was good. They did enough
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: to win that football game. I think Drake May completely
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: let them down. That was a typical Vrabel game right there.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: He's now 0-2 in openers for the Patriots as a
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: head coach.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And I'll say this, man.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Early on, I remember this was a trend, and Kelly
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: and and Ariel may touch on this coming up on
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: tilts later today. You take the under in these games
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: early in the NFL. Offenses really struggled last year, two
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: years now going. Early in the season, slow out of
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the gate. That was the case last night. We'll see
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: if that's the case tonight. Maybe for the Rams, Niners,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: we'll see. The difference in the travel decision is crazy
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: to me. The Niners have been over in Australia now
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: for 10 days. And the Rams stayed on Pacific time
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: and will travel roughly 30 hours on the plane in
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: a 72-hour span. It's like a high school football game, Chad,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: where they get off the bus and go warm.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Up for 30 minutes and play.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: We've been in a few of those where they're walking
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: out for a stretch an hour and a half before
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: the game and we're there getting ready for the game.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, same deal. Just going to Australia this time.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I've read where there are sleep specialists who really, they're
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: really back and forth. It's like a 50-50 split on
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: what's going to work.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So, we'll see.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: It's fascinating that each coach chose a different way to
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: do this. And, you know, we're not going to see
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Aaron Donald. He didn't travel. So, that debut waits. But,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: a big divisional matchup to kick things off in their
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: first one in Australia.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't imagine how doing the high school football
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: method would be beneficial to the team who's been embedded
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: in the country.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: For as long as they've been. It just feels like
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: there's almost.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: More pressure on the 49ers who invested that much to
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: go and live in Australia for that long to do it.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: You also look like Either coach is going to look
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: like a genius for winning this game.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Because if the 49ers win, it's going to be, well,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: of course. They invested the resources into being there longer.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: They got used to the time zone. They've been practicing
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: in Australia. Of course they beat the Rams. And then
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: if Sean McVay and the Rams win, without Aaron Donald,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: who continues to need to ramp it up before they
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: put him in a game, well, the thought is going
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to be, my goodness, these guys just flew in and
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: flew out and beat their ass. And now they're back home,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: and they won that game against the 49ers. So two
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: very different narratives could come out of this game tonight,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: depending on who wins.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, when the Titans played over in London,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: you and I went to that. That was a quick turn.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: And teams aren't really staying over there. Jacksonville does because
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: they want to have a team there. But teams don't
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: really stay the week anymore. Ten days is quite the trip.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, they shipped a lot of their equipment back
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: in April via cargo ship. So, I mean, it's setting
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: up their own facility, all that. The practice facility, the
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: NFL revamped the practice facility to make sure it met
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: the player association requirements. So it's not like this is
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: a one and done. Let's put it that way. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: don't know if it's always going to be these two teams.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Seattle's also one of the sponsor teams for this area
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: of the world. But they're locked in because they have
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: the ownership rights to the flag football promotion there.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: So I don't know. I'm not I'm no world traveler.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm not getting in a plane all the
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: time for that long.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And doing these things.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know how used to it anybody gets when
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: you're going that many time zones, like however many times
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: you do it, it's still going to affect you. But
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: that Titans trip to London. Yes, that we were on.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think I ever got my footing completely right.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Like I wasn't completely off the entire time. Like I realized, OK,
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: now is day and now is night. But you almost
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: feel like you've got this fuzz on your brain the
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: whole time. You know, like your body's tingling a little
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: bit when you get there. Because I did the overnight
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: also where I end up landing. You leave at like
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: 7 o'clock. And with the time jump, you're landing at
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: like 9.30, 10 a.m.? That's right.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: You're going into a portal future. Yeah, I don't think
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I slept more than an hour on the flight. So
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: by the time you get there, I remember getting to
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: my hotel, having like an hour before we had to
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: get to where we were doing our.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Show, laying on the bed.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: And falling into the deepest possible sleep within 30 seconds
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: and waking myself up 30 minutes later and being like,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I cannot do this. I have to drag myself out
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: of bed, take a cold shower, and walk around the city.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: And I just remember walking around London by myself, seeing
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the sights. I went to the Tower of London, did
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: a tour by myself because I could not fall asleep
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: at that time or I was going to be wrecked
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the entire trip and then stayed up until that night
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: and then got back.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: On a little bit more of a normal schedule.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: But when you do something that's that quick, going back
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: to the Rams and that quick of a turnaround, I
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: don't know that you ever really adjust. which I guess
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: could kind of be an okay thing. You know, if
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: you never allow your jet lag to sink in.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: That's tough, though, man. You've got to stretch or eat.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Imagine all the food these dudes are eating on the flight.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: What is it, an 11-hour flight to London? This is 17.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's not that long to London. It was probably
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: like seven, eight hours maybe. This was way longer.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: The Titans staff was handing out melatonin to all the
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: players because it was a double-decker flight we were on.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I couldn't sleep.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: You're anticipating everything. I would do the same thing because
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: the whole storyline has been the quick turn. The Rams
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: players are talking about that. It's on their mind. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to sleep.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I can tell you some of the movies I watched
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: on the flights to and from. Chappaquiddick.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Was one of the planes that I watched. I watched
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Beirut with Jon Hamm, a little-known movie. I watched Super
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Troopers 2 on the way back. I didn't even know
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: there was a Super Troopers 3, or maybe it's already
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: out on streaming.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: But I was enlightened to a lot of different cinema
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: options that I didn't know existed on both flights to London.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. I didn't know there was a Super Trooper 3.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: There is, you're right.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Very much like the first, not quite as good, but
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I think they're doing a Super Troopers 3.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I'll be watching on my next flight. It was released
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: last month, August 7th, 2026. There you go.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you can find it on streaming right now.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: Only.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: U.S. only.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: It seems like a very Canadian movie, too. I don't
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: know why it's not available in Canada also. It's the Vermont—
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: State troopers, you know, it makes sense. They do battle
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: the Canadians in the first two movies a couple times.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Well, technically Canada is now a state of the United
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: States of America, right? It's true.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe they're looking at it that way. Hey, we've got
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: one big thing on every NFL game coming up. Derek
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Dooley will join us in about an hour and ten
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: minutes or so from now. When we come back, the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans are talking tough. Jeffrey Simmons did it to
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks in a joint practice, and now it's
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: one of their offensive tackles. through the head coach, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: they've got to back it up. And they're playing the
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: New York Jets. It's next, here on Hutton & Withrow,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: presented by Hard Rock Bet. This is Hutton & Withrow,

• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Ted, one thing I've noticed in coaching recently is in
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: the era that we're in, there are coaches now that
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: are willing to Blur the line a bit in what
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: they will say in front of a microphone. Maybe some
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: drop the F-bomb or BS or whatever it might be.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: We saw that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: You and I have had coaches on from Florida to
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Auburn to Kentucky that are willing to just be honest
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: and real with how they talk.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Cursing is more widely accepted now than ever when it
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: comes to official coach-player settings.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: For both of them. And Robert Sala has brought that
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: attitude a bit....
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: To the Titans, meaning like the attitudes behind the scenes, absolutely.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: But I'm saying forward facing as the face of the organization,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Salah is the one who has asked questions every single practice.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Players get it every now and then. Salah's the representative
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: every single day. And he's trying to send a message
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: through the media that, as well as through the locker room,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: about how they want to be fast, violent, everything that
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: every coach might preach, but not every team executes. And
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: for the longest time, it's just been Jeffrey Simmons, who's
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: the grizzly bear of the team.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: J.C.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Latham was drafted to be that guy. And last year,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: we didn't see that. In fact, it's Salah, who we're
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: going to get to in a moment. We're going to
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: start with Latham. It's Salah who has watched the film
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: of the team he just inherited and noticed that the
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: offensive line wasn't helping pick up a player off the
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: ground or how the cohesion was with their rookie quarterback. Well,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: there's been a demeanor change in J.C.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Latham.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: The storyline has been if Jeffrey Simmons has been getting
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: in a fight, Latham's on the other end of it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Even last year during games, they were bickering at stuff
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: because Simmons is calling him out. He wants Latham to
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: achieve the expectation level that comes with being the 11th
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: overall pick. Because he knows he's really good. He's a
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: giant of a human being. Well, he's at right tackle now,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: which is his position of note, because that's his original position.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: He started at left, now at right. And over the last,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know, six, seven months, there has been a
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: tone that's different than the one we saw last year.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: And this is him in the locker room, Teron Davenport,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: with the video here. And Teron is bringing up a
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: moment where Cam Ward took a violent hit during the
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Texans game last year, and no one did anything about it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: And he asked Latham a question about it, and here's
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: the response.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: We ran a play where Fernando was out in space,
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: and he was on Monte. He was blocking his ass off.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: It was like 40 yards down the field. To this point,
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: ball's out. I mean, Tony steps out of bounds, so
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: we cover it. We end up going back to the huddle,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: but Fernando's still finishing, and he gets into it with Tay,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: and we're all turning back to the huddle. And Coach
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: pointed out that if any of us gets into it,
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: we're all getting into it. We're all stepping up, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: we all kind of felt that kind of fire that
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: lit under us that not only was that a moment
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: that we needed to have our guys back, but that
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: was one of our rookies, you know what I mean?
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: And that moment like kind of solidified, like, Hey, if
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: anybody picks on us, like we all got to step
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: for each other. So, you know, I think about, like
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: you said, those moments for sure. Every single day of like,
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: you just can't go from the bullshit.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: And he also said at one point in there, you
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: can't be anybody's bitch. That's the key phrase there because that's,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: that's what Sala is trying to get out of the line.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: He wants a bunch of Jeffrey Simmons up front, protecting
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the second year quarterback and running the football. Latham is, is,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: He's a bulldozer in the preseason game in San Francisco.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: He's talking trash. And I'm like, where's this guy been?
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: So Teron Davenport of ESPN, ESPN.com, covers the team, went
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: and asked Salah about all of this.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: And here's the head coach. I do think.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: When you watch tape and you see your quarterback on
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: the ground, just take a look at the offensive line.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: To see what their mindset is. I think that's real.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I think when your back is on the ground and
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: your offensive line isn't like... I just think when your
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: offensive line is not there.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: To be the big brother, to pick up your teammate,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: to pick up your little brother, I think it's bullshit.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: It's not there.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: And, you know, we'll always go... All organizations go by
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: their O-line and D-line. And the expectation for our O-line,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: no different than anyone else's, is to lead the charge.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: And protect the team.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Chad, I look at this as going into week one.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: We find out if this is the new era and
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: the theme of fast and violent and all gas, no break.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: They're playing the New York Jets. Both of these teams
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: have been in the basement of the National Football League.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: And if you want to crawl out of that, you
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: beat this team. And you do it with this attitude.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: We find out pretty soon if the Titans are about
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: this life or these guys don't want to fight. Of
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: course teams want to improve as the season progresses. But
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: to do that, you beat the Jets in week one.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: and win for the first time in week one at
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: home in 15 years.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: It's been a while.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: And again, it's a layup of a game if you're
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: talking that talk and you actually back it up.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: So who was the coach of those New York Jets
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: that were in the basement you were talking about for
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: a number of years?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, there have been a number of them. There have
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: been a number of them. But Robert Sala was one
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: of those coaches, right? Yes, and the year Aaron Rodgers signed, yes.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: And they got fired in week six or seven, maybe
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: in year two of Rogers?
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I want to believe. I want to believe this is real.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: I can't believe this is real until I see that
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: it's real.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Right. Okay.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: This is an example of, and Mark is going to
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: laugh at when I say this expression again, don't tell
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: me about the labor pains and show me the baby.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I don't need to hear about the childbirth. I need
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: to see the child. The child is a physical football
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: team that, instead of running their mouth in the preseason,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: goes out there and beats somebody's ass in.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: A football game. You play Gino Smith.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: That's what we need to see from the Tennessee Titans
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: in week one.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: All of this talk is nothing to me.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Because the one thing that I keep in my mind
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: at all times is that this is still an organization
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: so soft that they removed a media credential for someone
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: who's too critical of back-to-back three and 14 teams.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: And a head coach talked to the media about it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Not a PR person. I'm not saying the head coach
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: made the decision, but it was a head coach who
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: wouldn't address the media about it. Like, I don't... I
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: don't care about what they're saying right now. I think
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: the stuff you're bringing here is very valid. I like it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: The competitor in me, someone who loves the sport of football,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: all of that, I love everything that they're saying. I
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: refuse to believe it until I see it with this team.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: I think it's a lot of tough talk for a
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: team and an organization, an organization that is far more
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: concerned with marketing and the business side than they are
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: the football side. And the marketing and business side can't
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: even sell tickets to the home opener, as you showed
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: us last night.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm agreeing with you on this. I'm saying they've
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: got to back it up. You beat the Jets instead
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: of talk about Week 18 improvement. But Sala has backed
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: this up with his defensive teams. And he went back
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: to San Francisco after he was fired. He pointed this out.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: He wanted to be more involved on both sides of
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: the football. And even Christian McCaffrey pointed out how valuable
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: he was to the team in the offensive meeting rooms
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: and just on the practice field. I want to see
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: if that carries over, too, and how he's changed his
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: message to get past.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Whatever happened with the New York Jets. But here are
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the same old Jets, and.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: The fans are saying, Chad, these are the same old
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Titans until the new stadium opens because they are promoting
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the death march of old Nissan Stadium, a stadium they
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: can't wait to tear down. They're acting like fans care
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: about sitting upper deck in the sun with the toughest
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: ticket to sell in sports. Upper deck of the sun,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: bad weather during football season. You can sit on your couch.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: You don't have to sit in traffic. You don't have
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: to pay to park. You don't have to go through
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: the construction lines. instead of marketing exactly what they're trying
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to build for the new era Titans. They've got the
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: number one quarterback, the number one draft pick at quarterback.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: They have two first round picks that no one's heard of,
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: heard from. I wouldn't be able to pick out their voices.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: They're not available. Fans don't know these players. Two first
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: round picks. from this year's draft. They have, I believe, what,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: six or seven other first-round picks scattered across the roster,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: two of them on the offensive line. They have a
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: new head coach, a new offensive coordinator, a new defensive coordinator,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: and they have C.J.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Tukey coming back.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: And they have an opportunity to win a football game
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: for once early in the season instead of against the
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Scrubs in December when it doesn't matter unless you don't
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: want the number one overall pick and you pretend like
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: it matters to next year's team when you have 70
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: new players anyway because you sucked. And their marketing, hey,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: come on out and check out the old stadium one
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: last time.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Why? Prove it. The problem, though, is next year's week
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: one will be sold out.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Because that's the new stadium, and that's the era that
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: they're really focused on.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think the rallying cry, and you
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: laid it out well with the marketing part of this.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Nashville does not care about this team right now. That's
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: what they're telling you.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: They don't care. They want to see it. It is
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: put up or shut up time. How about this?
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Instead of put up or shut up, put up and
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: shut up. I don't need to hear the tough talk.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Until you go out and show it. And then if
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: you want to go out and show it, I said
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: this about J.C.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Latham's comments. I love J.C. Latham's comments.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: I want to see him bury someone into the turf
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: at Nissan Stadium in game one and come back in
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: the locker room and say, you know what, we didn't
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: talk a lot about it because we had a bad
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: taste in our mouths after last season and we wanted
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: to go show that we could physically beat somebody up.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: And that's what we did in this game and that
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: is our goal in every game.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Boom.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I would love to hear that after they beat the Jets.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: But all of this stuff, everything we're playing on this show,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: all the tough talk from Robert Sala, all the tough
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: talk by J.C. Latham, them expelling media members for criticizing them,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: everything else that's gone on, it will be used as
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: a weapon.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Against them if they don't beat the Jets.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: We're going to go back and play this same clip
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: and say, where was that when Geno Smith was beating you?
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Where was all this talk when Cam Ward, how did
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Cam Ward get sacked five times against this Jets defense
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: if you were going to be so tough on the
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: offensive line? That is why Sunday is imperative for this
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Titans team and the entire organization moving forward.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Here's why it's also imperative.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: If you want this team to be about the team
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: on the field, laying out all the assets that they've
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: used and spent to put this team on the field,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: They need to win this game because if they don't,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: it's going to be another promotion about the old stadium
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: before they blow it up and put TPAC there and
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: the city doesn't allow parking because they want you to
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: park on the other side of the river for Metropolis
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: and everything under the roof is controlled by the team.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: If you don't want this season to be about Titans
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: entertainment and you want Titans football, they've got to win
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: this game because it'll be crickets. It'll just be For
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: other road fans, fans from other cities coming to Nashville
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: for the for the death march of Nissan Stadium. And
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: it's a what, three and a half point spread right now.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: And it's already been that for multiple years now.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been it's been a preferred destination for all
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: visiting fans and Titans fans would rather stay at home
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: and watch the team lose at home. than trying to
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: pay for parking and all that. And, Hunt, your point
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: about the parking and getting to game, it's going to
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: be infinitely harder with the new stadium. The new stadium
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: is going to be nicer. You're not going to have
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: to deal with weather and all of those things, but
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: infinitely harder for ingress, egress, parking. It's going to be
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: more expensive. It's going to be all those things. This
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: team needs to win and put a better product on
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: the field. Speaking of good products, by the way, O'Charlie's
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: made a hell of a chicken tender. It was the
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: chicken tender of my youth. And I'm very saddened to
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: see that O'Charlie's, a Southern staple, especially in Middle Tennessee,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: is closing all their doors. What an abrupt closure. You
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: would think someone could come in. I don't know, maybe
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Clay Travis. Someone with a lot of money that could
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: come in and save this brand. That could buy O'Charlie's
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: back and keep O'Charlie's.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: In Middle Tennessee.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: And I also didn't know that O'Charlie's were in Virginia
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: and Ohio and other states too.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: They had no idea. But man, I was saddened by
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: this news. So it was.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: The news, it was Warren County Sports Authority that actually
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: broke this. Are you serious?
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Yes. There was a connection with O'Charlie's with a manager
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: that was being laid off. And I think they had
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: previously closed like 17 other locations recently and then just
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: pulled the plug officially yesterday as of Wednesday. My favorite was,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: and I don't know the whole background there, but yeah, man,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: our family would always go to O'Charlie's. You know, that's
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: where the Jeff Fisher show was for the longest time. Oh,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Charlie's and Brentwood. But like the potato salad.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Potato soup, sorry. Not the potato salad. Potato soup. Along
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: with the chicken tenders.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: The rolls.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I haven't had rolls at a restaurant in a long time. Those,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: must have. And the sweet tea was legit.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Really, really good.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: I think the last time I ate there, I remember
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: getting home from the Super Bowl. I think that we
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: went immediately to an Oh Charlie's close to our house.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Right after that was the last time I had to.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: I want to rush out, but I think they're closing...
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: uh this week or is it today i think i
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: was like can we at least have a send-off i
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: mean if you're gonna close the doors like give us
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: a month notice.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: So people can rush out to oh that's the thing
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: it's like to enjoy.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: The experience one more time why i mean they did
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: they not give their employees time to find another gig
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: i mean i i'll send you the link where you
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: can hear the the the uh the report um yeah
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: uh Reporter there in work out, Kelly, she broke the
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: news the night before. She said, they're going to shut
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: down tomorrow.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: For years and years, though, O'Charlie's was the agreeable sit-down
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: restaurant for families, for kids and parents. Okay, yeah, we'll
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: go there because we can find something that we like.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: And now that O'Charlie's is no more, I don't know
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: what to believe. At Nissan Stadium, the old one's going away.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: O'Charlie's is dead. I don't know where to go from here.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Is it Logan's that steps up? I don't know who
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: that is. I don't know who that is. I don't
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: know which restaurant. I don't know who that is either.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. Texas Roadhouse?
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Texas Roadhouse isn't going to make you think of Middle Tennessee.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think which.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: One of these I've been to most recently. I haven't
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: been to an Olive Garden in a long time. I
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: don't know what it would be.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: I've never in my life thought... Now, see, if he
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: closes today, you and I need to go. I have
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: never in my life thought, I really want to go
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: to an Olive Garden to eat. I've never had a
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: bad experience there. It's never been awful or anything. I've
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: just never, like us with Arby's, where we crave Arby's.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: When we want the meats, we got to go get
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: the meats. I've never in my life thought to myself,
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: you know where we should go that I'm really craving.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Is Olive Garden. I've never felt that way.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: O'Charlie's, you can tell me, let's go have O'Charlie's chicken
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: tenders and I can relive my childhood. And I would
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: go do that 10 out of 10 times. But apparently
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: now we're not even allowed to do that. Again, I've
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: implored Clay Travis to hire Diana Rossini. I've implored him
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: to do a number of things. Clay, I know you've
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: looked into buying radio stations before.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Wink, wink.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Now you need to buy a restaurant chain. Let's purchase O'Charlie's.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: We can make them a sport and state branded O'Charlie's.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: We can do a lot of different things.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: O'Clay's. But if Clay can be the savior. Remember when Clay...
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: What was the place on Broadway that everybody was mad about?
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Paradise Park. Paradise Park. Thank you.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: I couldn't remember the name of the place, but everyone
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: was up in arms like, Clay has destroyed Broadway.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: The fabric of it is dead now that Paradise Park
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: has gone away. Clay.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: I'm talking to Clay right now, who's probably on his
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: way out of town somewhere. Clay, this is your chance
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: to regain the street cred you lost when you destroyed
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Paradise Park. And now you can buy O'Charlie's, you can
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: restore O'Charlie's to the people, and suddenly you are the
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: man of the people. Bring back the O'Charlie's chicken tenders,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: the rolls, all of it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Clay, only you have the power to do this. Please
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: make it happen. O'Claize or O'Travis, what would you call it?
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I think Clay's smart enough to keep the brand the
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: way it is, but it would definitely be O'Clay's if
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: he had to make a name change.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. Yeah. Bring it back. At least one
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: of them. It's like, it's like blockbuster going away for us.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: ODBAPS will be the name of the restaurant. ODBAPS. Where
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: are we going tonight? We're going to ODBAPS for dinner.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, coming up, we've got one big thing for NFL games.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Week one is here. Soon, many of these fan bases
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: will be like the Titans fan base. Lethargic in wanting
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: their teams to prove it. But right now, everyone has hope.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: We'll discuss who does and who really doesn't. Plus, Derek
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Dooley coming up in under an hour from right now.

• 39:05
  Speaker 3: sit across the desk from a banker who's talking down
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: No, you're going to talk to a person that cares
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: about your situation, that cares about how you're juggling credit
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: card bills and debt right now. And they're going to
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: tell you this, date the rate, marry the house. You
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: need to put that on a t-shirt, by the way.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Get the house you want right now, refinance when rates
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: come down. If you're buying new construction, ask about the
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: builder program, builder funded rate buy downs that can get
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: you a rate the best can't print date the rate

• 39:57
  Speaker 4: to make alone. I can promise you right now, Hutton,
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: that the YouTube chat.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Is blowing up.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of talk about Captain D's right now.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: There's some talk about Hooters in the chat. Hooters is
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: making a comeback, by the way. Mark is talking about Fuddruckers.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: You know, Clay's doing it. David is saying Chad is
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: really good at spending Clay's money.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, I am.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: I try to appeal on this show all the time,
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: telling Clay how to spend his millions. And I think
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: O'Charlie's would be a worthy investment.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Do you remember Mr. Gaddy's? Oh, remember?
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: It's still around, I believe. Or are they closed too?
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: I think there's one or two. There was one in
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Gatlinburg for a while too, or Pigeon Forge. Oh.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: One of the two. Mr. Gaddy's. The GOATs of all
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: pizza buffets. I mean, come on. Are you kidding me?
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: That was like the trip after baseball games and tournaments
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: and everything else.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Chad, you always give the disclaimer super fast. We're going
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: to go rapid fire on the NFL games here. It
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: won't be that quick, so well done. I think you
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: can do it, Hutton. I think you can do it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: I think you can go that quick. Let's get a
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: better game than last night.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: How about that? When a division matchup, we're kicking off
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Thursday night football. It's Thursday.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: We didn't kick off Thursday because, well, two reasons. Number one,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: this is in Australia. Two, the NFL will play on
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Wednesdays moving forward.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Watch them.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Both teams here tonight, 49ers and Rams, dealing with massive
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: offseason shifts. Both teams really good last year. The Rams
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: made the biggest splash of the year. They trade for,
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: you've got Miles Garrett, and now they bring back Aaron Donald,
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: who will not be in the mix this evening. But
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: everyone is expecting the most terrifying defensive front, and I
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: don't blame them if you're a quarterback and you think that. Melbourne, Australia,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: the sleep specialist, as we mentioned earlier, They're split on this.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Sean McVay jetted the Rams in just 24 hours before kickoff.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: And you have the 49ers who have been there for
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: 10 days. San Francisco, they're managing the workloads of several players.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: They get hurt a lot over the years. And you've
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: got Kittle and Nick Bosa also managing their workloads here.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: And we'll see if they have some receivers step up
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: around Brock Purdy. Cowboys and Giants, Sunday night football. Dallas
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: enters this 2026 season trying to fix this inept defense.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: And Chad, you have them, we have them going to
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: the playoffs and how far in the playoffs?
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys. For Dallas? Yeah, you have the predictions we
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: did last week. Did I? Yes. Yeah, we have them
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: winning the division.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: I'm going to need to see those predictions to know
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: how far I have them going. I don't remember putting
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: them in there, but sure, yeah, they're going to. I
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: have them winning the division.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: I don't have them going far in the playoffs. But, yes,
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: I do have the Cowboys winning that division. I also
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: have Dak Prescott on my fantasy team within our show's
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: fantasy league. So I'm very interested in that game.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: They surrendered 60 touchdowns in 2025, Dallas' defense. And despite that, Prescott,
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: he was steady. He was steady on the road last year.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: They averaged 25 points per game.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, you.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Have issues and they end up not going to the postseason.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: They're trying to flip that. And the Giants, you're predicting
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: them to go be the worst of first team in
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: the NFL. Harbaugh makes his debut as the head coach.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: And you have plenty of playmakers, including one running.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Back, Chad, that you drafted in the Fantasy League. That
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: is correct.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Broncos, Chiefs, both teams... Big moves. For Denver, it was
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: the passing attack. Jalen Waddell is there now. One of
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: the fastest in the league. He gives Bo Nix another
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: impact playmaker opposite Cortland Sutton because JT's a Denver Broncos fan.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: He knows this. Sutton was a one-man show a year ago.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: And they still made it to the AFC Championship game.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: And now Sutton doesn't have to be the guy who
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: outcatches the rest of the team. The second leading receiver
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: on the team, Chad, had 40 fewer catches than than
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Cortland Sutton did a year ago. He led the team
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: in touchdowns and yards and catches. And in Kansas City,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: they failed to make the playoffs. And that's the first
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: time they've done that since 2014. They've severely underperformed in
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: the backfield. So they signed Kenneth Walker III. And he's
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: your Super Bowl MVP from.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Back in February.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: So I think they're going to be really good in
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: the backfield with him. And the question would be, is
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Mahomes back to his normal self after the injury? And
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: where's Kelsey in the mix from this? They still have
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: playmakers out of the backfield and speed on the outside,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: but not the household names of receiver, just the current
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: go-to quarterback in Patrick Mahomes.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Hutton, let me jump in here because I will say
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: right now that JT's favorite sport and state personality has
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: to be Ariel Epstein because Ariel has the Broncos winning
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl in her predictions. Broncos over Seahawks was
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: her pick. So JT, I know now, loves Ariel even
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: more after hearing that prediction from her.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Their defense is elite, though. I would say that she's probably,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got Clay and then you've got Ariel, right?
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: Probably the smartest person in the group.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: You got the guy who could bio Charlize up here.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: And then you've got the woman who picks the Broncos
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: to win the Super Bowl right here. I agree with
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: that hierarchy. It's a great pecking order we have here
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: at Sporting Stage.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: You know the one bad thing about the Broncos, though,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: is I feel like they're always– it's that one person
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: gets hurt, right?
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a wide receiver. It's just somebody week
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: 13 just happens to go, oh, no. And they kind
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: of sort of kind of piecemeal it together, but then
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: it's bad news.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, and Sean Payton's always had that little
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: X factor– The running back that's also an extension of
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: the run game through the passing attack, right? He had
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: that New Orleans. He's got to find that dude for Denver.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: If he does, I think that's the X factor. And,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, they were.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Going to the Super Bowl last year. Had Bo Nix
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: not got hurt. Right? You agree with that. But to
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: your point, he got hurt. Yeah, there's always the injury.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: Last time, by the way, just Kansas City, if they
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: hit on Walker and running back, the last time they
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: had a legit performance... over the course of a season
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: in running back, was 2017. Add that to Mahomes, and
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: that's how you'll turn out a playoff-worthy performance. Packers and
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: Vikings this week. A lot of divisional matchups across the schedule.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: You've got Minnesota with a massive shift with Kyler Murray
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: now in a one-year deal, a proven year. Moving on
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: from J.J. McCarthy, he's taken over as the week one starter, and...
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: They're betting on him like they bet on Sam Darnold.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: The Packers have injury concerns up front on the offensive
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: line and some key areas throughout their team. And the
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: question is, do the Vikings have enough? Is Kyler Murray
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: the difference from what they lacked with J.J. McCarthy paired
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: with O'Connell to get a big win here and a
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: home game to open the season against a very good
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers team and a head coach that has
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: been winning more than he's losing, despite not being a
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: household name in the floor. That's a team I can't
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: figure out at all, the Vikings. To me, biggest mystery
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: in the NFL. I could see them making a deep
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: playoff run. I could see them going 6-11. I just
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: cannot figure out what they're going to be with Kyler Murray.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: This is a good start to figuring out what those
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: Vikings are going to be this season. And we're going
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: to find out quickly about Justin Jefferson. If he's back
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: to being the top dog like he should be last
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: year but wasn't. And the Packers are replacing their defensive
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: coordinator as well. Bills and Texans is a great game.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Great matchup that's underrated here. It's a marquee coaching storyline.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: You've got Joe Brady making his head coaching debut. And
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: you still have a solid coach in Houston. Chad, that's
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: D'Amico Ryans.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: That is.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator with a elite defense for the Texans.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: And it's all about offense in Buffalo. Their defense is
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: not going to be very good this year. So what happens?
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: It's a one and a half point spread. And Houston's
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: never been to the AFC championship game.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: I have the Bills winning the Super Bowl this year
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: over the Rams. I'm not going to duck any of
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: the heat about being Clay Travis's boy because Clay happened
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: to pick the same exact thing. and we both have
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen as MVP, but he picked Bills over Rams also.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: Bills need their one-and-a-half-point favorite in this game at Hard
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Rock Beth. This is a big one to go on
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: the road and prove that this is a contending team
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: this year with the Buffalo Bills. That window, Hutton, we
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: always talk about with the Bills, feels like we're on
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: the outer edge of it right?
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: As opposed to the middle of it right now. The
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: time is now for this Buffalo team. Philadelphia, no A.J.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Brown. They're bringing back several key contributors, though, and then
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: who is back for the commanders? Jake Daniels.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Entered year three as one of the electric dual threats,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: but of course, injury riddled and not the same guy
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: last year and you have secondary pressure. Dan Quinn's defense
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: is going to bring the heat off the edge. Philadelphia's
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: at home, but many have the commanders bouncing back.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not one of them.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: We'll see pretty early on about this because I think
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: both coaches, they need to win and win soon. Washington's
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: known for changing coaches, and Philadelphia's been talking about it
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: for the last couple of seasons, at least a season
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: and a half. They win enough, but it's Philly. And
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: it's a huge divisional matchup there. Ravens and Colts. You've
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: got Jesse Minter making his debut. And Daniel Jones is
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: back for Indianapolis. Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry returns. Derrick Henry,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: with one touchdown, will be third all-time for running backs
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: with touchdown runs in this game, if he can get it.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Crazy.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Anytime touchdown score, Derrick freaking Henry in this game.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: How about that? I love it. Buccaneers and Bengals. Jad,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: is this Joey B's year? It's my pick to win
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: the division. I do remember that one.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: I couldn't remember the Cowboys pick, but I picked the
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Bengals to win the AFC North this year, so he
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: needs to bounce back and be healthy.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: First time in 12 years that Mike Evans won't be
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: in a Tampa Bay uniform. Burroughs fully healthy. They do
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: not have Hendrickson anymore. Can they get a pass for us?
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: They blacked out.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Saints and Lions.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Detroit goes into my list of the Super Bowl victors.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: I've got them winning over Buffalo because they have the
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: fourth-place schedule, the last-place schedule. After finishing last in their division,
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: despite every team having a winning record a year ago,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: the Saints didn't really upgrade their defense, and can they
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: get enough from a second-year quarterback and a team that
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: really doesn't have much outside of Chris Alave? Biggest storyline
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: in football, well, at least on Sunday Night Football, Aaron
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: Rodgers is back, and he actually played the preseason. Falcons
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: are visiting, and Tua Tagovailoa is going to be the starter.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: It was a disaster in Pittsburgh back in December.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: T.J.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Watt got all over the quarterback, and we'll see if
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Tua is able to withstand that defensive front.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Jets and Titans. Chad, we hit on this.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: It's a must win for the Tennessee Titans. The Jets
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: are coming in looking like this is one of their games.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: The Titans are favored in two games right now, period,
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: across their schedule.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: This is one of them. Go ahead. Here's a thought.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: You know, the Jets also appear to be, it's way
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: more important for the Titans.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: This game is it for the Titans. I don't think
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: the Jets care at all. But if the Jets are tanking, okay,
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: let's say for Arch Manning.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: All right. After this year. And they traded a lot
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: of players away. You're right. Here's my thought.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: Arch's granddad once pulled a coup for Eli to not
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: go to the Chargers.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Okay. He helped orchestrate that. Yeah.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Would Arch's camp have a problem with the New York
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Jets if they held the number one pick in a
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: year that he was going to get drafted? Number one overall.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: Would they try to orchestrate something for him not to.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Go to that organization? Let me put it this way.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Just a thought to put in the back of your head, Hutton.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: If they did that after Dion didn't do it for
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: Shador in Cleveland, that's a bad look.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think everybody thought it was a bad
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: look then. Arch in New York would be great. That
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: would be a great storyline. I think it worked out.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: You know, the Chargers worked out with them and Phillip
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Rivers definitely worked out for Eli with the Giants.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: But at the time, I mean, they took a lot
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: of heat.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: It was something about the Spanos family that Archie hates
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: or doesn't, you know, just outlaw forever.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: Anyway, we got plenty of time to talk about that.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: Let's get back to week one. But that's just something
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: to put in the back of your mind for if
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: the Jets draft number one overall.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: You've got Cardinals and Chargers. The rookie debuts, the second-year
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: players and young players on offense. uh, for, uh, Jeremiah Love,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Jr. Maybe we see Carson Beck at some point.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: And then the Chargers defense, they're relying heavily on the
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: back end. So does the rookie make a splash or
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: is this like an Ashton Jenty type year where it's just,
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: you know, all talk and no, no production, uh, from
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: the jump. Browns and Jaguars, Jacksonville, if they want to
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: win the division, they want to get back to where
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: they were last year, which was a 13 or 14
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: win team. Uh, Go beat Deshaun Watson. I took the
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: under on his passing yards, like 170 yards. I took
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: the under in this game for him. I think that's
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: a smart bet.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: I think any under with Deshaun Watson, I'm not going
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: to argue with you on it. You can tell me
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: under on passing touchdowns, passing yards, anything. If you said
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: you're betting that with hard rock bet, I'm not going
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: to fight.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: You on it. Yes, take the under. Bears at Carolina.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: I have the Bears missing the playoffs because they were
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: so great in turnover margin a year ago. They had
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: a massive, that was like 33-11 in.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Overall takeaways, giveaways. That's hard to do.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: At some point, you have a ball batted in the
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: air by a defensive lineman, and it goes into the
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: hands of a linebacker. I mean, they got away with
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: a lot, and they won tight games based on those turnovers.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: Their defense was elite at getting the ball back for
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: an offense that didn't score enough in certain moments to
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: actually get the credit for that they end up receiving.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: It was their defense that got the takeaways. I just
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: think it kind of falls back to the average here.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: And because of that, I don't think they win enough games.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I can see this being a
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: fallback also.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: And do we see Bryce Young continue to ascend? If
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: we do, then guess what we're going to hear about
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Cam Ward, Chad?
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: One of your players to prove it this year also
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: was Bryce Young. When you had those lists of put
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: up or shut up time for players, Bryce Young definitely
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: one of them. Yeah.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: I would pick Kyler Murray to do that more than
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: I pick Bryce Young to do that. Chad, that is
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: one big thing on every NFL game. Will we see
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: baseball expand anytime soon? I want to ask two questions.
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: Number one, of the cities that they're looking at, there
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: are a couple of obvious ones. And I'm not sure
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: why some of the obvious ones aren't really putting their
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: all in on trying to get this done. Number two,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: why does baseball want to expand right now? Yeah, we
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: will get to that. I'm actually seeing Coach Derek Dooley
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: in the room with us right now. So if he's ready,
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: since he did such a fantastic job creating the new
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: open for the show that we heard earlier, if he's
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: ready to go, we're going to go to him next
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: because we've got to get to the bottom of the
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Big Ten, showing more transparency with their review process.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: Clock issues. Coach does a thing or two about that.
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: We'll talk SEC. We'll talk Lane Kiffin and LSU versus
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: the SEC with a lawyer-turned-football coach.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: We got all that coming back up. Derek Dooley, he's
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: up next here on Sports State in Hutton-Withrow.
