- 0:33Speaker 4: That's what we're here for.
- 0:34Speaker 2: My friends, I think it could get stronger.
- 0:35Speaker 5: Well, there's only one way to find out. Let's go,
- 0:38Speaker 5: let's do some reps. All right, let's get things started.
- 0:41Speaker 5: Philip Rivers is undoubtedly our number one story, believe it
- 0:45Speaker 5: or not. The Seahawks.
- 0:46Speaker 3: If you're just if you just you know, hey, what's
- 0:50Speaker 3: going on in the world out there. I've been meditating
- 0:53Speaker 3: for the last five days at a rock and a
- 0:55Speaker 3: tent with Aaron Rodgers nightmare. If that's where you've been, well,
- 1:00Speaker 3: well there's a story here that we're dealing with here
- 1:03Speaker 3: in Seattle. The Seahawks this Sunday are going to take
- 1:05Speaker 3: on the Indianapolis Colts, led by potentially quarterback Philip Rivers.
- 1:12Speaker 3: The forty four year old is five years removed from
- 1:16Speaker 3: the National Football League, hasn't played in five years. It
- 1:19Speaker 3: was on the Hall of Fame ballot as we speak,
- 1:23Speaker 3: but he is going to try and play football again.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Because of the Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard injuries last
- 1:30Speaker 3: week for Indianapolis, they didn't have a quarterback.
- 1:33Speaker 2: They gave Philip Rivers a call.
- 1:35Speaker 3: They asked if he would like to give it a go,
- 1:37Speaker 3: and he says, Dad, gummet, why not? Literally what he said.
- 1:42Speaker 3: And so it's been the talk of the football world.
- 1:46Speaker 3: What is this going to look like? On Sunday? Yesterday
- 1:49Speaker 3: we had a chance to chat with Kurt Warner, who
- 1:53Speaker 3: went through a similar experience a few years ago. After
- 1:56Speaker 3: his career was over. The Cardinals were kicking the tires
- 1:59Speaker 3: on maybe bringing him out of retirement. So we had
- 2:01Speaker 3: to contemplate this himself. So he was the perfect guest
- 2:05Speaker 3: to get on yesterday to talk about this Philip Rivers situation.
- 2:09Speaker 3: And so we'll start with the part of the conversation
- 2:13Speaker 3: with Kurt Warner yesterday and that when that's when I
- 2:17Speaker 3: just asked him, can Philip Rivers pull this thing off?
- 2:20Speaker 6: I mean, I can't answer that because I've never been there,
- 2:24Speaker 6: and I don't know who who has, you know, I
- 2:28Speaker 6: mean it it obviously sounds crazy, you know. I do remember,
- 2:33Speaker 6: you know, a number of years after I retired, but
- 2:36Speaker 6: the Cardinals here, we're having some issues with the quarterbacks
- 2:38Speaker 6: and some injuries, and you know, there were a speculation
- 2:41Speaker 6: and maybe they should call Kurt. I remember going out
- 2:43Speaker 6: in the backyard and throwing the football around a little bit, like, hey,
- 2:46Speaker 6: if they call, you know, you know, will I entertain it?
- 2:50Speaker 6: And all of those things. So, you know, I kind
- 2:52Speaker 6: of remember back to a few years after being out
- 2:55Speaker 6: of the league, and you know, my biggest issue wasn't
- 2:59Speaker 6: the physical part of it in terms of you know,
- 3:02Speaker 6: throwing a football or or being in shape. My biggest
- 3:07Speaker 6: worry and concern was the mental aspect of you know,
- 3:13Speaker 6: being able to get up to speed. So you know, A,
- 3:17Speaker 6: I could have success, B I could protect myself from
- 3:20Speaker 6: that standpoint. You know that that, you know, being out
- 3:24Speaker 6: of the game for five years and understanding you know,
- 3:27Speaker 6: the athletes in the game and what it takes to
- 3:29Speaker 6: play at that level.
- 3:33Speaker 7: You know.
- 3:33Speaker 6: I mean, to me, it would be an incredible feed
- 3:36Speaker 6: for him to come back after a week and get
- 3:38Speaker 6: out there and and perform extremely well. I mean probably
- 3:43Speaker 6: even to you know, to perform at an average level
- 3:47Speaker 6: after that would be pretty incredible because I respect the
- 3:51Speaker 6: game so much, you know that, even when I was
- 3:55Speaker 6: considered it, you know, it was like, man, there was
- 3:58Speaker 6: nothing in my mind that said, oh, I can step
- 4:00Speaker 6: back on that field and in the short term be
- 4:03Speaker 6: the same player I was, you know years ago. I
- 4:06Speaker 6: just respect the game and what it is, and you
- 4:09Speaker 6: know what it takes to be great at this level.
- 4:12Speaker 6: I respected it too much to think that I could
- 4:15Speaker 6: be great, you know quickly. You know that I think
- 4:19Speaker 6: I could get up the speed and get back there.
- 4:21Speaker 6: Well yeah, I mean I think all of us competitors
- 4:23Speaker 6: think that. But that's kind of what I look at
- 4:26Speaker 6: here is, man. You know, I respect Philip for giving
- 4:30Speaker 6: it a shot, and you know, for them to you know,
- 4:33Speaker 6: try to uncover everything to have success.
- 4:35Speaker 8: Uh.
- 4:35Speaker 6: And I think like most of us, we're intrigued, we're excited,
- 4:39Speaker 6: were interested, We just wanted to end at least fairly well,
- 4:44Speaker 6: you know, like that's my biggest thing is I just
- 4:46Speaker 6: don't want this to be a bad thing, you know.
- 4:49Speaker 6: And you know, I should say another thing that I
- 4:51Speaker 6: was concerned about, you know when when I was even
- 4:54Speaker 6: just considering it, and the Cardinals never called it, So
- 4:56Speaker 6: it was never anything like like this with Philip. But
- 4:59Speaker 6: the other other thing was just you know, the reaction
- 5:03Speaker 6: of your body to things that you haven't done. Like
- 5:06Speaker 6: I didn't want to be a guy that went back
- 5:08Speaker 6: out there and like you know, pull the hamstring or
- 5:11Speaker 6: pull the muscle or or hurt something, you know, in
- 5:14Speaker 6: the first ten plays of my first hit because my
- 5:17Speaker 6: body wasn't ready you know, for a quick movement or
- 5:21Speaker 6: to take a hit or whatever that was. And so
- 5:23Speaker 6: that was another concern of mine. And so I think
- 5:25Speaker 6: that's the big concern for me. You know, he goes
- 5:28Speaker 6: out there, is I don't want it to be you know,
- 5:30Speaker 6: so anticlimacting and he comes back and he gets hurt,
- 5:33Speaker 6: and you know, it may be what we all expect.
- 5:36Speaker 6: And I don't want him to go out there and
- 5:38Speaker 6: just get beat up because he's just not mentally able
- 5:42Speaker 6: to you know, to handle the speed and everything that's
- 5:44Speaker 6: coming at him, and the new offense and all of
- 5:47Speaker 6: that stuff. And so I think there are some distinct
- 5:50Speaker 6: challenges without a doubt, and you have to respect the
- 5:53Speaker 6: game enough to to just say, you know, I think
- 5:56Speaker 6: it will be hard, you know, for any to come
- 6:00Speaker 6: back and have you know, a level of success in
- 6:03Speaker 6: such a short period of time.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Kurt Warner, whether it's yesterday, if you want to hear
- 6:06Speaker 3: the entire conversation, do so on our podcast ninety three
- 6:09Speaker 3: to three kjar dot com.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I take it.
- 6:12Speaker 3: I've taken it even further than I think anybody else.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I think most people are coming on here and saying
- 6:17Speaker 3: how hard it's going to be, and I think it's
- 6:20Speaker 3: going to be impossible. And it's because of the position.
- 6:24Speaker 3: I mean, Marshawn Lynch came back. How long was he out?
- 6:26Speaker 3: Two three years? And he came taking a handoff and
- 6:30Speaker 3: running it into a whole. I think that's possible. But
- 6:34Speaker 3: I requate quate like Bucky this, this goes right to
- 6:38Speaker 3: you quarterback position being so complex and having so much responsibility.
- 6:45Speaker 3: I would equate this to like a baseball player trying
- 6:48Speaker 3: to come back like Prince Fielder. Prince Fielder has been
- 6:52Speaker 3: removed from the game for about five years. Imagine if hey,
- 6:56Speaker 3: would you like to give it a shot again? We
- 6:58Speaker 3: really need a first basement. Okay, how long do I
- 7:01Speaker 3: have to get ready? Five days?
- 7:04Speaker 2: Oh?
- 7:04Speaker 3: Okay, well, can I face the live pitching? No, because
- 7:09Speaker 3: we can't risk you getting hurt. You can only go
- 7:11Speaker 3: in a cage. You can go into a cage as
- 7:13Speaker 3: much as you want, but we're not going to throw
- 7:16Speaker 3: at the speed of the pitches that you're going to
- 7:19Speaker 3: face because we can't risk you getting hurt because that
- 7:22Speaker 3: would just undo all of it. Oh okay, well, am
- 7:25Speaker 3: I at least facing a bad pitcher. No, you're facing
- 7:29Speaker 3: the best picture in the league, Derek Schooble. That's who
- 7:32Speaker 3: you're facing this week. Like, I think it sounds Prince
- 7:36Speaker 3: Fielder would go zero for four with four strikeouts under
- 7:39Speaker 3: that in that scenario, And I think Philip Rivers.
- 7:43Speaker 2: And I like Philip Rivers unlike you. I like Philip Rivers.
- 7:47Speaker 3: I think he stands no chance of having success on Sunday. Well,
- 7:51Speaker 3: I mean more than likely he would go for with
- 7:54Speaker 3: four strikeouts. You're right, more than likely, But there is
- 7:57Speaker 3: a chance that he would lock up on there's a
- 8:00Speaker 3: chance Okay, so there's a chance Philip Rivers could lock
- 8:04Speaker 3: up on a deep throw.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a chance that he could do.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I'm not saying he can't complete a pass, but in
- 8:10Speaker 3: terms of can he have a successful day quarterbacking in
- 8:14Speaker 3: the National Football League, I don't think so.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Well. So to me, it's there's there's a part of it.
- 8:19Speaker 9: It's a great analogy because yes, it's the idea of
- 8:23Speaker 9: are you going to be successful? Far fetched, very far
- 8:27Speaker 9: fetched because of all of the things that go into it.
- 8:30Speaker 9: The idea of playing quarterback, to correlating it to like
- 8:33Speaker 9: a baseball player would be like, okay, if it wasn't
- 8:36Speaker 9: Prince Fielder, if it was somebody that actually knew how
- 8:38Speaker 9: to bunt and had bunted in their life. A successful
- 8:41Speaker 9: day you might get just lay one down. You might
- 8:43Speaker 9: be able to there's other things you could do outside
- 8:46Speaker 9: of locking up and squaring one up one hundred percent. Now,
- 8:49Speaker 9: hitting a baseball is more difficult than dumping it off
- 8:52Speaker 9: to a running back or throwing to a bubble screen,
- 8:54Speaker 9: or you know, a little hook by your tight end
- 8:57Speaker 9: and you see that he's open, and there happened to
- 8:59Speaker 9: be a clear lane right there. He can do that
- 9:02Speaker 9: in his sleep until he's fifty five years old. Now,
- 9:06Speaker 9: what Kurt Warner's talking about, like the risk of boy
- 9:09Speaker 9: just popping a hamstring just because you're not used to
- 9:12Speaker 9: quick agile moves. Not that you were quick in agile
- 9:15Speaker 9: four or five years ago when you played so, but
- 9:18Speaker 9: you were used to taking collisions. Yeah, oh yeah, I
- 9:20Speaker 9: mean you're used to the speed of the game. Oh
- 9:23Speaker 9: my god, Yeah, there's a I mean, I'm not going
- 9:26Speaker 9: to sit here and say that it's far fetch. I've
- 9:27Speaker 9: used the analogy before of like, how just taking an
- 9:31Speaker 9: off season off and then I go into spring training
- 9:33Speaker 9: and how fast it seems, just the simple playing catch
- 9:37Speaker 9: And then you stand in the batter's box in the
- 9:39Speaker 9: first like few days. You don't even get to hit.
- 9:41Speaker 9: You just have to stand there like a crash test dummy,
- 9:44Speaker 9: hoping that this dude that's winging it at you doesn't
- 9:47Speaker 9: let it fly since he's had some time off. It
- 9:49Speaker 9: seems it's not relative. The speed isn't relative. It seems
- 9:52Speaker 9: too fast. Now that said, there was the one year
- 9:56Speaker 9: that broke my wrist, and then I went straight from
- 9:58Speaker 9: having no practice at all down to Venezuela to play
- 10:01Speaker 9: and I end up hitting seven home runs in seven games.
- 10:04Speaker 9: But the game was way fast right there, Like it
- 10:06Speaker 9: did not feel normal, didn't feel like I was on
- 10:10Speaker 9: my game. And yet probably one of my hottest streaks
- 10:12Speaker 9: I've ever had, simply because the fact that I could
- 10:15Speaker 9: still swing and if I ran into it, it could
- 10:18Speaker 9: do I could still do damage.
- 10:20Speaker 2: That the potential is still there, the likelihood of that.
- 10:23Speaker 9: If you would ask me to do that every single offseason,
- 10:26Speaker 9: take six months off and then no practice, go play
- 10:28Speaker 9: in Venezuela, chances are I'm gonna go oh for thirty
- 10:31Speaker 9: five or one for thirty five and.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Not hit any home runs.
- 10:34Speaker 9: Just so it's that's where I'm not so far as
- 10:38Speaker 9: it's impossible, it's just far fast.
- 10:39Speaker 3: I'm gonna take one off season and then we're going
- 10:41Speaker 3: to exaggerate that to five full years. And you're not
- 10:44Speaker 3: a twenty four year old, You're a forty four year old, right,
- 10:48Speaker 3: Like you would not have had that streak in Venezuela, Right, yeah, I.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Would not have had that streak.
- 10:53Speaker 9: But to think that I couldn't even I mean right now, no,
- 10:57Speaker 9: because I can't see the ball. But I mean to
- 10:59Speaker 9: think that you couldn't go out there and still have
- 11:01Speaker 9: a moment where you just it's fast against fast, and
- 11:04Speaker 9: you're like, but I'm muscle memory. I'll give my winging
- 11:07Speaker 9: in there, and maybe a guy makes a great catch
- 11:09Speaker 9: next thing. You know, you have that five times and
- 11:10Speaker 9: you could win a go ball game.
- 11:11Speaker 2: I'll give him that. I think that he could have
- 11:13Speaker 2: a moment.
- 11:13Speaker 3: I think he could complete a pass deep down field
- 11:16Speaker 3: or I'm okay, there we go, and I think he's
- 11:19Speaker 3: also going to throw three pick sixes and get sacked
- 11:22Speaker 3: twelve times.
- 11:23Speaker 2: No, that's I just I hope I'm wrong. I said
- 11:27Speaker 2: this earlier. I really do.
- 11:29Speaker 3: I mean, I want the Seahawks to win, and I
- 11:31Speaker 3: think that they're going to no matter what Philip Rivers does.
- 11:34Speaker 3: But I hope I'm wrong because I want this to
- 11:36Speaker 3: be a happy ending. I want I want to see
- 11:39Speaker 3: some success. I want this to be It's gonna be
- 11:41Speaker 3: far more interesting if he has success and versus he
- 11:46Speaker 3: just falls completely on his face or gets hurt or
- 11:48Speaker 3: something like that.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Just so she was doing it against another team, so
- 11:51Speaker 4: I could support him.
- 11:51Speaker 3: More Seahawks colts Greg Bell was with us an hour ago,
- 11:56Speaker 3: and of course everything funnels through this Philip Rivers store.
- 12:00Speaker 3: And still we ask Greg for what the key is
- 12:03Speaker 3: going to be in this game.
- 12:04Speaker 10: If Indianapolis can do with really no team including the
- 12:08Speaker 10: Rams and forty nine ers have done on the Seahucks,
- 12:10Speaker 10: and let's run the ball early on early downs. If
- 12:12Speaker 10: they can do that and make Rivers' third down third
- 12:15Speaker 10: and two instead of third and ten, then the Colts
- 12:19Speaker 10: have a chance. But nobody yet has done that. Some
- 12:22Speaker 10: of the reasons the Seahawks are third or fourth in
- 12:24Speaker 10: the league and all the metrics for defense is because
- 12:26Speaker 10: teams just don't try them because they're done by two
- 12:28Speaker 10: scores in the first half. So can the Colts keep
- 12:31Speaker 10: Taylor producing to a level that Philip Rivers doesn't have
- 12:35Speaker 10: to drop back forty times in long yardage to win?
- 12:38Speaker 10: Because I mean, come on, as great as Philip Rivers
- 12:41Speaker 10: is going to end up being in the Hall of Fame,
- 12:43Speaker 10: how he has sent you can't expect him to throw
- 12:46Speaker 10: forty times in long yardage against any defense, especially Mike
- 12:50Speaker 10: McDonald's one of the best NFL defense is going right
- 12:52Speaker 10: now to win. So that's where the Seahawks game plan
- 12:55Speaker 10: is starting. Is Jonathan Taylor unfits tackling Mike Donald made
- 13:00Speaker 10: the point this week that Taylor is the fastest running
- 13:03Speaker 10: back they've played. He breaks tackles and he gets away
- 13:07Speaker 10: from you when you break the tackles. So it's really
- 13:08Speaker 10: key for Seattle. It's short tackling at the line of
- 13:11Speaker 10: scrimmage because this guy, even more than Beshawn Robbinson, he'll
- 13:14Speaker 10: get away from you if you'll tackle him.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Craig Bell with us an hour ago. He'll uh more
- 13:19Speaker 3: on Greg here in a moment. Hawks into the game
- 13:21Speaker 3: at thirteen and a half point favorite. It opened to
- 13:24Speaker 3: three and a half, so the Daniel Jones injury has
- 13:26Speaker 3: changed it by ten points. I still don't think it's enough.
- 13:29Speaker 3: I'm expecting the Seahawks to smack him. Kick off is
- 13:32Speaker 3: at one twenty five on Sunday. I just we got
- 13:35Speaker 3: other things to get I just say one other thing
- 13:37Speaker 3: if he does have success, because believe me, there are
- 13:40Speaker 3: a lot of recently retired since Philip Rivers has retired quarterbacks,
- 13:45Speaker 3: and they sit around all the time thinking wonder if
- 13:47Speaker 3: I could do this again. If he does have success
- 13:50Speaker 3: on Sunday, don't be's prized. If like three four guys
- 13:53Speaker 3: decide I'm gonna work out this offseason.
- 13:56Speaker 2: I'm gonna play again like.
- 13:57Speaker 3: A Roethlisberger or a even a like I wouldn't be
- 14:01Speaker 3: surprised if three or four quarterbacks, if he has them six,
- 14:05Speaker 3: they're gonna use him as.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Their dinna pig. If he gets demolished, to'll be like, oh,
- 14:08Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that again.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Glad it was him and me.
- 14:10Speaker 3: But if they, if they are watching and he has success,
- 14:13Speaker 3: I'll bet you three or four retired quarterbacks are like.
- 14:16Speaker 2: I'm gonna get back in shape. I miss it.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I missed the guys, I missed the clubhouse, I missed
- 14:20Speaker 3: the action. I'm gonna I'm gonna give this a shot.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Philip just motivated me.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:24Speaker 9: Well, I mean the idea of missing it. I think
- 14:26Speaker 9: every athlete goes through. But whatever it takes for a
- 14:29Speaker 9: Tom Brady to eventually hang it up, even Philip rivers.
- 14:33Speaker 9: I mean his last year he had went eleven and
- 14:36Speaker 9: five with the coach, went to the playoffs. There was
- 14:38Speaker 9: there's something where was like, I just Dovid do this.
- 14:40Speaker 3: It was Covid you didn't want to do he was
- 14:42Speaker 3: thinking about retirement anyway.
- 14:43Speaker 2: He was like, well, I'm not doing this. I'm just
- 14:45Speaker 2: gonna go hang it up.
- 14:46Speaker 9: Yeah, well that was twenty twenty. Wasn't that the year
- 14:48Speaker 9: they played? Wasn't that the COVID year anyway? I mean,
- 14:51Speaker 9: he's he's Eventually everybody's like, Okay, I've done enough. I
- 14:55Speaker 9: made my money. It hurts too much. I don't want
- 14:57Speaker 9: to be singularly focused. I have fifteen kids I want
- 14:59Speaker 9: to spend some time with, and so I'm with you.
- 15:02Speaker 9: I think that there's a lot of guys that might
- 15:04Speaker 9: get a little bit intrigued by the idea of going
- 15:06Speaker 9: back there if they didn't leave because the game said,
- 15:09Speaker 9: you need to retire, you're no longer any good.
- 15:11Speaker 3: We Number fifteen of the National Football League season got
- 15:14Speaker 3: started last night Thursday Night Football in Tampa, Florida, where
- 15:18Speaker 3: the Falcons shocked the Buccaneers by a final score of
- 15:22Speaker 3: twenty nine to twenty eight. It knocked the Buccaneers out
- 15:25Speaker 3: of first place, and it put Todd Bulls in a
- 15:28Speaker 3: really terrible mood.
- 15:30Speaker 2: You tell them in locker forgiven it.
- 15:32Speaker 11: It's inexcusable. You don't make excuses. You gotta care enough
- 15:37Speaker 11: where it hurts. You gotta care enough where it hurts.
- 15:41Speaker 11: It got to mean something to you. It's more than
- 15:43Speaker 11: a job, it's your livelihood. How well do you know
- 15:46Speaker 11: your job? How well can you do your job?
- 15:48Speaker 7: Well?
- 15:48Speaker 11: You can't sugarcoat that. It was inexcusable and there's no
- 15:53Speaker 11: for it. It's for no excuse for it. That's what
- 15:55Speaker 11: you're telling them in a lot looking in the mirror.
- 15:58Speaker 4: Wow, I was so nervous that I missed.
- 16:00Speaker 2: One I have.
- 16:04Speaker 3: I've never heard Todd Bowles cuss once. I just heard
- 16:07Speaker 3: him cuss a thousand times in twenty seconds.
- 16:09Speaker 9: I don't think he's very happy when your team is
- 16:13Speaker 9: on the edge of you know, their division, you know,
- 16:16Speaker 9: top of their division and fighting for a playoff spot,
- 16:19Speaker 9: and you cough up a fourteen point fourth quarter lead
- 16:23Speaker 9: against the.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Bad team an arrival. Yeah, not at home? Yeah he was.
- 16:29Speaker 2: He was not happy.
- 16:30Speaker 3: Nope, I say, Kyle Pitts had a career, night boy.
- 16:33Speaker 3: You picked a bad week to face Kyle Pitts in
- 16:36Speaker 3: Fantasy football playoffs. Eleven catches, one hundred and sixty six
- 16:41Speaker 3: yards and three touchdowns for the former top ten pick
- 16:45Speaker 3: tied end for the Atlanta Falcons, so twenty nine to
- 16:48Speaker 3: twenty eight. The final score that scars and they still
- 16:51Speaker 3: got a chance to still win the division. Hopefully, Todd
- 16:54Speaker 3: Bowles pottymouth grant. We'll get into them, because Carolina is
- 17:00Speaker 3: not going to run away with this thing, that's for sure.
- 17:02Speaker 3: This Sunday great lineup. Just some of the highlighted games.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Buffalo at New England earlier in the afternoon, Detroit at
- 17:10Speaker 3: the Rams, Packers at Broncos, and then Sunday night, not
- 17:14Speaker 3: a very good game, Vikings at Dallas taking on the Cowboys.
- 17:18Speaker 3: College football. It is Army Navy Week and I want
- 17:22Speaker 3: ah recruit.
- 17:25Speaker 9: I'm picturing that song playing over just one of those
- 17:29Speaker 9: kind of square gray bullhorn speakers while he was doing
- 17:34Speaker 9: the Army crowl Yes this morning.
- 17:38Speaker 2: That it is just one speakers sounds bad, but they're
- 17:42Speaker 2: singing it. That's his real dark secret.
- 17:44Speaker 3: He and all of his Army buddies hated their time
- 17:46Speaker 3: so much that they sing in the Navy. They dress
- 17:49Speaker 3: up as the village people and sing in the Navy
- 17:52Speaker 3: every chance to think. When they get together, Greg and
- 17:55Speaker 3: Jess are in Baltimore. They're gonna have a show today
- 17:58Speaker 3: from noon to three, so make sure you check it out.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Greg just absolutely loves.
- 18:04Speaker 3: This game, this weekend, this experience, and they're going to
- 18:07Speaker 3: do a great show today, specialty show from noon to three.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Heisman Trophy will be rewarded at four o'clock on Saturday,
- 18:14Speaker 3: So right after Army Navy, you've got the Heisman. Fernando
- 18:18Speaker 3: Mendoza is expected to win it, but Diego pave Up
- 18:21Speaker 3: might actually have a chance, the Vanderbilt quarterback of pulling
- 18:24Speaker 3: this thing off. And then the first ball game will
- 18:27Speaker 3: be played tomorrow and it involves the Huskies. Huskies versus
- 18:30Speaker 3: Boise State to kick off bowl season. It is the
- 18:33Speaker 3: La Bowl at five o'clock. College football. We can't get
- 18:36Speaker 3: out of the college football world without updating you on
- 18:39Speaker 3: Sharon Moore. Earlier this week, scandal hit ann Arbor.
- 18:44Speaker 12: Former University of Michigan football coach Sharone Moore. He is
- 18:47Speaker 12: expected in court today and he was arrested hours after
- 18:51Speaker 12: the school fired him this week for what it says
- 18:54Speaker 12: was an improper relationship with a staff member.
- 18:57Speaker 4: And this morning new Emergency.
- 18:59Speaker 12: Dispatch audio sheds light on the details of Moore's arrest
- 19:03Speaker 12: and Muse Nation's Ryan Bass with us now. So Ryan,
- 19:06Speaker 12: good morning. What did we learn from these recordings? A
- 19:10Speaker 12: huge story.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Here, Kelly.
- 19:12Speaker 8: I'll tell you this dispatch audio is quite unsettling, and
- 19:15Speaker 8: it paints a real time picture of what police say
- 19:18Speaker 8: is the alleged assault that happened just hours before Moore
- 19:22Speaker 8: was arrested. Now, it's a shocking fall from grace from
- 19:25Speaker 8: a once rising star in the sport of college football.
- 19:28Speaker 8: ESPN's Pete Famil reporting that the situation had been percolating
- 19:32Speaker 8: for weeks, and then Moore had actually been acting strange,
- 19:35Speaker 8: even berating some assistance in the days leading up to
- 19:38Speaker 8: his firing. Nowhere yet on the timing of his arraignment today, Kelly,
- 19:41Speaker 8: But obviously that audio it's pretty unsettling when you listen
- 19:46Speaker 8: to it, and so we'll find out more today and
- 19:48Speaker 8: see if Moore actually ends up policing a statement as well.
- 19:51Speaker 3: What they're saying is it was the worst kept secret
- 19:53Speaker 3: on campus. Everybody had known it for a long time.
- 19:55Speaker 2: What was going on.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Caitlin de Boor has shot down any and all possibility
- 20:00Speaker 3: of taking this job, and of course, we one hundred
- 20:03Speaker 3: percent always believe Calin de Bore he.
- 20:05Speaker 4: Would never leave.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Never.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Jedfish's name has also been mentioned prominently. Unless I missed it,
- 20:11Speaker 3: I don't think Jed's reacted to this and he's not.
- 20:15Speaker 3: He's not entitled to. I hope that it's Jed's like
- 20:17Speaker 3: not again. I don't want to talk about this anymore.
- 20:20Speaker 3: But who knows for what it's worth. Michigan is intending
- 20:24Speaker 3: to make a great hire. That was their statement yesterday,
- 20:30Speaker 3: as opposed to we're gonna really blow this as for more,
- 20:33Speaker 3: he remains in custody for an aggravated assault charge. He
- 20:36Speaker 3: is expected to have his day in court today. College basketball,

- 21:57Speaker 2: Oh jeez, that seems extreme aggressive. Yeah.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the first time that we faced them
- 22:03Speaker 3: as the Mammoth, is it not?
- 22:05Speaker 4: I believe so. I think they got named before the
- 22:07Speaker 4: start of this this season.

- 23:19Speaker 2: supposed to be at the you know, the.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Bagel shop by now, well, guess what it's on the
- 23:25Speaker 3: eight thirty coach coming on a little early.
- 23:27Speaker 2: So sorry to.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Throw you off your game out there. Yeah, but yeah,
- 23:31Speaker 3: your clock's fine. It is eight thirty. Coaches just coming
- 23:33Speaker 3: on early.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Today. That's nice. I like having eight thirty coome onrning coach.
- 23:38Speaker 7: Good morning, guys. No, I'm sorry, Yeah, I have to
- 23:42Speaker 7: do it a little earlier today, and I apologize. Don't apologize,
- 23:46Speaker 7: Thanks for thanks for squeezing me in.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Yeah, don't apologize. I'm just telling Bucket. I kind of
- 23:50Speaker 3: like having coach on at eight thirty on Friday. I
- 23:53Speaker 3: think I might want to do this permanently, force you
- 23:55Speaker 3: to get up an hour earlier every week.
- 23:57Speaker 7: Let's not get carried away. I think I think I
- 24:00Speaker 7: think one's one's good.
- 24:02Speaker 3: All right, you're gonna have to tell me what you
- 24:05Speaker 3: think of this Philip Rivers story. I mean, I seem
- 24:09Speaker 3: to be the most extreme person at the station, thinking
- 24:12Speaker 3: that he can't possibly have success on Sunday. You tell me,
- 24:16Speaker 3: you know quarterbacks better than anyone five years removed from
- 24:19Speaker 3: the game, forty four years old, two practices his How
- 24:24Speaker 3: on Earth is he going to have a chance of
- 24:26Speaker 3: being successful Sunday?
- 24:27Speaker 2: Coach?
- 24:28Speaker 7: You know, I kind of agree with you, Chuck. I
- 24:31Speaker 7: think it's going to be really hard, particularly against the Seahawks.
- 24:35Speaker 7: But you have a great pass rush, great defense. Excuse me,
- 24:38Speaker 7: be but if anyone could do it. If anyone ever
- 24:43Speaker 7: could do this, which I'm doubtful. He's the guy now
- 24:47Speaker 7: I've known him a little bit over the years, and
- 24:50Speaker 7: is he quite possibly could do something like this, But
- 24:55Speaker 7: it is a long shot. You know, he's at his
- 24:58Speaker 7: age and he hasn't been hit in a long time.
- 25:02Speaker 7: And you know, now, the one thing they have going
- 25:05Speaker 7: for them, I have. They have a really good rushing attack.
- 25:07Speaker 7: And so if he does play, I don't think as
- 25:11Speaker 7: it come out that he's going to start.
- 25:13Speaker 3: It has not officially come out, but most people seem
- 25:17Speaker 3: to think that's what's going to happen.
- 25:19Speaker 7: Yeah, I would think so too. And if he does play,
- 25:23Speaker 7: then you're going to see an offense that's pretty controlled.
- 25:27Speaker 7: Hopefully their defense plays well and then they run the
- 25:29Speaker 7: ball a lot. And so I'm sure Mike mcconald knows
- 25:33Speaker 7: that better than anybody. But I'm kind of with you.
- 25:36Speaker 7: I just pray, you know, he's a good guy, he
- 25:38Speaker 7: really is, and the and I just hope he doesn't
- 25:41Speaker 7: get hurt.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I hope he doesn't get hurt
- 25:44Speaker 2: as well.
- 25:44Speaker 9: And it's far fetched, er a long shot as how
- 25:47Speaker 9: you put it, that he's going to be able to
- 25:49Speaker 9: go out there and do it, not just because he's
- 25:50Speaker 9: been off for four and a half years, but because
- 25:53Speaker 9: he's going against the Seahawks defense and it's going to
- 25:55Speaker 9: be different. But I would I'm curious, what do you
- 25:58Speaker 9: think are the ling like benefits if somebody plays seventeen
- 26:03Speaker 9: years in the NFL as a quarterback. Obviously, the you're older,
- 26:06Speaker 9: you're going to be more fragile. You're not going to
- 26:08Speaker 9: be quicker at forty four than you were you know,
- 26:11Speaker 9: a few years ago or definitely a decade or so ago.
- 26:13Speaker 9: But I am curious, like, what are the lingering effects
- 26:16Speaker 9: that you just know if you if you have this
- 26:19Speaker 9: idea of Okay, I can play this rookie that maybe
- 26:22Speaker 9: has hobbled, or I can bring in this guy with
- 26:24Speaker 9: all this experience, what is it that they bring to
- 26:26Speaker 9: the table besides just experience, What do you know is
- 26:29Speaker 9: still going to play in today's game if he can
- 26:32Speaker 9: not get crushed and hurt, Well, I think.
- 26:35Speaker 7: He's going to do the right thing. He's going to
- 26:37Speaker 7: make good decisions. Unlike you know, we saw we saw
- 26:40Speaker 7: a young guy play for Minnesota and it just was
- 26:43Speaker 7: a disaster. And so he's going to you're going to
- 26:47Speaker 7: see good decisions if he plays, but the fact that
- 26:52Speaker 7: he has been out five years that'll factor into that
- 26:55Speaker 7: just a little bit in my opinion. And then physically,
- 26:59Speaker 7: you know, if they saw in practice or they've seen
- 27:02Speaker 7: him throw and do some things that allow him or
- 27:06Speaker 7: allow them to make the decision to start him, then
- 27:09Speaker 7: you know, I guess he's gonna you know, they feel
- 27:12Speaker 7: he can be a better choice. But oh gosh, buck,
- 27:16Speaker 7: you know it's a I just hell, it'll be interesting
- 27:21Speaker 7: to see. It'll be really an interesting story.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Would you think that you would have to hit him
- 27:26Speaker 3: before he plays on Sunday? I mean, ever since the
- 27:29Speaker 3: invention of the red jersey, I don't think anyone, any
- 27:32Speaker 3: quarterback at any level has been tackled in practice, high school,
- 27:35Speaker 3: college or pro. But considering what the men he's going
- 27:41Speaker 3: up against the speed of the game, that there's no
- 27:44Speaker 3: chance that he can remember five years removed, hasn't had
- 27:47Speaker 3: a collision in those five years. Would you have to say, Philip,
- 27:51Speaker 3: we're gonna crash test dummy this thing. I need you
- 27:54Speaker 3: to take a hit before Sunday. I don't want your
- 27:57Speaker 3: first hit to be on Sunday. Would you be contempl that.
- 28:01Speaker 7: No. No, But I I think if I if coach
- 28:05Speaker 7: had mentioned that to him, listen, before you sign your
- 28:08Speaker 7: contract to this is how we're going to do it,
- 28:10Speaker 7: he'd go, Then I'm not signing it, you know, I
- 28:12Speaker 7: don't don't don't hit me before the game. I'll handle
- 28:15Speaker 7: it right, I'll do it. I'll handle it right in
- 28:17Speaker 7: the game. Don't worry. But that's the concern everyone, most
- 28:22Speaker 7: people have that know the game, that how is he
- 28:26Speaker 7: going to do this? How is he going to react?
- 28:28Speaker 7: And like I said, if anybody could handle it, he
- 28:30Speaker 7: can yea, But that I think it's a long shot.
- 28:33Speaker 9: Guys, I'm with you. I I mean, this is a
- 28:36Speaker 9: game that you would think now. I mean, when he played,
- 28:39Speaker 9: he had Ladanian Tomlinson, and he's he's had good running
- 28:43Speaker 9: backs before and so and yet when he was in
- 28:45Speaker 9: his prime, you couldn't just stack the box and say, oh,
- 28:48Speaker 9: we're gonna we're not gonna worry about him beating us.
- 28:50Speaker 9: But I would think that this week would be different.
- 28:53Speaker 9: I would think that they're like Jonathan Taylor were stacking
- 28:55Speaker 9: the box. He's not doing anything against us, We're going
- 28:58Speaker 9: to contain him. And yet is there still a fear
- 29:01Speaker 9: of that might be playing into his hand of allowing
- 29:05Speaker 9: him to do uh more, is it one of those
- 29:08Speaker 9: sit back and just don't let them move down the
- 29:10Speaker 9: field on you?
- 29:12Speaker 7: I think the approach would be stopped to run first,
- 29:15Speaker 7: because they they are really good at running ball, and
- 29:18Speaker 7: stop the run first, and then we'll just play defense
- 29:21Speaker 7: with Philip our normal thing, and we'll get to the
- 29:24Speaker 7: quarterback and we can do that. But our emphasis would
- 29:28Speaker 7: be to stop the run, force him, force them to
- 29:31Speaker 7: throw the ball, force them to get first down throwing
- 29:34Speaker 7: the ball. That has to be their approach in my opinion.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd put eleven in the box. Just put everybody
- 29:43Speaker 2: in the box.
- 29:46Speaker 7: Yeah, but also, you know what, but you know you
- 29:49Speaker 7: also put out your Christmas tree early. So let's start.
- 29:52Speaker 7: Let's think of good let's think of good decisions.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, that's fair.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Uh well, he's I hate to make this whole thing
- 30:02Speaker 3: about Philip Rivers, but I think it's.
- 30:04Speaker 2: The whole story here.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Did he ever, he's famous for talking trash without cussing.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Did he ever trash talk to you over there on
- 30:11Speaker 3: the sidelines.
- 30:12Speaker 7: No. No. My My thing with my thing with Philip
- 30:16Speaker 7: is that Norm Chow was his college coach and phoned
- 30:19Speaker 7: me and said, I've got a young quarterback, professional quarterback.
- 30:22Speaker 7: He's really good, but he delivers the ball almost side armim.
- 30:26Speaker 7: It's a really funny delivery. I'm going to send you
- 30:30Speaker 7: some film. Tell me what you think. So I said,
- 30:32Speaker 7: I saw the film when he was young, and I said,
- 30:35Speaker 7: you know, he's really good. But it's been my experience
- 30:38Speaker 7: if you try and change the guy's motion, it doesn't work.
- 30:41Speaker 7: So if he's accurate and his timing's good, don't change anything.
- 30:46Speaker 7: And I don't and Norman they did, They didn't, and
- 30:48Speaker 7: Philip played his whole career that way. If you're watching
- 30:50Speaker 7: long film, he delivers the ball just a little differently,
- 30:54Speaker 7: but it works. It worked for a long time.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Are you surprised that it worked.
- 30:59Speaker 7: A little bit. Yeah, yeah, because you know, the ball's lower,
- 31:03Speaker 7: it comes off lower. You would think there'd be a
- 31:05Speaker 7: lot of black block passes and tip balls and stuff
- 31:08Speaker 7: like that. But you know, he was really good for
- 31:11Speaker 7: a long time.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Yeah, he's tough, he's smart, accurate, Yeah, he's he was
- 31:17Speaker 3: a football player. There's no question about that. Uh, well,
- 31:20Speaker 3: it should be interesting. Can't wait to recap it with you.
- 31:23Speaker 3: On Monday morning. So thank you, enjoy your weekend, and
- 31:28Speaker 3: we'll talk to you Monday.
- 31:29Speaker 7: Yeah. Can I go back to bed now, can man? Sure?

- 32:25Speaker 2: Hmmm.
- 32:26Speaker 6: No.
- 32:26Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not interested in that.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Yeah, the Beach Boys didn't put together a Heisman song.
- 32:31Speaker 4: That I would have listened to one of their big hits.
- 32:35Speaker 7: Me.
- 32:36Speaker 2: I wish they could be husband winners.
- 32:40Speaker 4: That would be a better one.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I don't know.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Huey Lewis had to have made I would think he
- 32:46Speaker 3: wrote every song, right, he had to have made a
- 32:48Speaker 3: road a Heisman song at some point if there is one,
- 32:50Speaker 3: Hugh he.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Wrote it, yeah, obviously and singing it and did the background.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Uh, Hugh.
- 32:55Speaker 3: Mellon's gonna join us at nine o'clock with x's and o's.
- 32:58Speaker 3: But the Heisman Trophy is gonna be handed out tomorrow.
- 33:01Speaker 3: The expectation is that it's going to be Indiana's Fernando Mendoza.
- 33:05Speaker 3: We've been talking about him all year long in this
- 33:06Speaker 3: segment because this is when we usually do our Big
- 33:09Speaker 3: Ten preview, and so this is kind of our version
- 33:11Speaker 3: of a Big Ten preview.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Eight forty five on Fridays.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Is a Big Ten quarterback him or Julian say I'm
- 33:17Speaker 3: gonna win the Heisman this year?
- 33:19Speaker 9: I would think, I mean, he's a huge favorite to
- 33:21Speaker 9: win it, and understandably so. That Diego Pavia is interesting
- 33:25Speaker 9: what he does. I mean, it's most valuable to their team.
- 33:28Speaker 9: I mean, I think the most valuable player for Indiana
- 33:32Speaker 9: is Signetti the coach. Oh, I mean he obviously is
- 33:37Speaker 9: pretty amazing. The Hesman though, no he can't win it,
- 33:40Speaker 9: and yet the Diego Pavia guy. I mean, what he
- 33:44Speaker 9: does for his team is unbelievable, but I would think
- 33:47Speaker 9: it's going to be for Nando.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Mendoza and then I'm.
- 33:50Speaker 9: All for it because I can't wait to hear his
- 33:52Speaker 9: horrendous interview after US because it's bad. It's not just
- 33:58Speaker 9: the bad one after the Big Ten Championship game. I
- 34:00Speaker 9: watched him do like a exposit, like a sit down
- 34:03Speaker 9: interview before, like a week before, and I'm just like,
- 34:08Speaker 9: I think it's gross.
- 34:10Speaker 2: I think he's going to be the number one pick
- 34:12Speaker 2: in the draft.
- 34:12Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to throw off scouts and
- 34:15Speaker 3: general managers from taking him number one because I think
- 34:18Speaker 3: it's going to be a pretty weak quarterback draft this year,
- 34:21Speaker 3: but it will be discussed.
- 34:24Speaker 7: Well.
- 34:24Speaker 2: It's it's like, I mean, like a leader.
- 34:26Speaker 3: I mean, his teammates seem to love him, but like
- 34:29Speaker 3: grown men in a locker room that hear that kind
- 34:33Speaker 3: of speech, What do you think?
- 34:36Speaker 2: I mean? Russell Wilson is pretty big dork too, and
- 34:39Speaker 2: he was good when he was here.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Smooth dork, Like his interviews were smooth Mendoza's was like.
- 34:45Speaker 2: It's true team god glue stare into the camera like, dude,
- 34:54Speaker 2: have you never done this before? Well, I'm sure he has, because,
- 34:58Speaker 2: like I said, I've seen two of them just as
- 35:01Speaker 2: of recently. They're both just really not good.
- 35:03Speaker 9: He's not good at nice And yes, you can end
- 35:07Speaker 9: up leading guys, you just have to be able to perform.
- 35:10Speaker 9: You're not going to be the one that they're asking
- 35:12Speaker 9: to go kick it afterwards, which is fine, stay in
- 35:14Speaker 9: your playbook.
- 35:16Speaker 3: I think there was a reason that he wanted his
- 35:18Speaker 3: like linebacker buddy to like speak because that guy was great. Yeah,
- 35:22Speaker 3: the one that stepped in and led the song at
- 35:25Speaker 3: the end of the National Championship. Well, I don't think
- 35:28Speaker 3: the Heisman voters are going to hold his interview.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Skills against them likely, So.
- 35:33Speaker 3: I do think he's going to win, But I don't
- 35:34Speaker 3: know if I would encourage people to bet money on it,
- 35:37Speaker 3: because I think there is a chance, and a pretty
- 35:42Speaker 3: sound one, that Diego Pavia ends up stealing this thing
- 35:45Speaker 3: from him. I mean, nine hundred and fifty voters for
- 35:49Speaker 3: this thing. But I'll just tell you, leading up to Heisman,
- 35:51Speaker 3: maybe people are just bored with the Fernando Mendoza, you know,
- 35:56Speaker 3: favorite to win the Heisman conversation. But the guys that
- 36:00Speaker 3: I've been hearing interviewed and have interviewed, like Rick new Isil,
- 36:04Speaker 3: they seem to be leaning toward thinking Pavia should be
- 36:08Speaker 3: the Heisman Trophy winner.
- 36:10Speaker 14: I like that there's some you know, it's not just
- 36:13Speaker 14: a runaway, because otherwise it just feels also like why
- 36:16Speaker 14: even bother inviting the other guys just to sit there
- 36:18Speaker 14: when there's when they have no chance.
- 36:20Speaker 4: Sometimes I feel like that's what happens, and it seems silly.
- 36:22Speaker 4: This year, I don't feel like that's the case exactly.
- 36:25Speaker 2: I think there is a chance.
- 36:26Speaker 3: When's the last time we got surprised by a Heisman
- 36:28Speaker 3: Trophy winner announcement?
- 36:30Speaker 4: I don't even remember.
- 36:31Speaker 3: I don't either. I mean, maybe I'm just prisoner of
- 36:34Speaker 3: the moment, but I don't even remember the last time
- 36:36Speaker 3: I was surprised by a Heisman trophy announcement.
- 36:40Speaker 2: So maybe this would maybe we're gonna get one on Saturday.
- 36:44Speaker 2: I wouldn't rule it out.
- 36:45Speaker 9: I wouldn't rule it out either, And I mean, for
- 36:47Speaker 9: what it's worth, a lot of times of the dual
- 36:49Speaker 9: threat quarterback is like ends up getting the NOD and
- 36:52Speaker 9: that diego Pavia. Like the last game, if it's if
- 36:55Speaker 9: they were if it was heads up, and you're like, oh,
- 36:58Speaker 9: well he went and won the Big Ten in Ohio State.
- 37:00Speaker 9: That's impressive. Pavia through for two sixty eight and ran
- 37:04Speaker 9: for one sixty five in his last game against Tennessee
- 37:07Speaker 9: not a bad team.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Well, Mendoza won the Big Ten title over the number
- 37:10Speaker 3: one ranked team in the country and made the Heisman throw,
- 37:13Speaker 3: So he left a pretty good last impression too.
- 37:16Speaker 9: I'm just saying I think that there's more of a
- 37:18Speaker 9: conversation than typical. Typically at this point, a lot of
- 37:21Speaker 9: times you just have kind of a clear cut winner,
- 37:23Speaker 9: and I almost know for certain that everybody went that direction.
- 37:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a chance at an upset. And
- 37:28Speaker 3: I'll say another factor in there being a chance of
- 37:31Speaker 3: an upset, people do get bored if there's been a
- 37:35Speaker 3: long time favorite, right, they do like, yeah, because they
- 37:40Speaker 3: want to be the first person that says something other
- 37:44Speaker 3: than Fernando Mendoz as my Heisman pick. And so again,
- 37:50Speaker 3: nine hundred and fifty voters, how many of them potentially
- 37:54Speaker 3: might vote for Pavia just because Mendoza has been the
- 37:57Speaker 3: favorite for so long and they wanted to do something
- 38:02Speaker 3: differently at the midnight hour. There's a chance he could
- 38:05Speaker 3: snag this thing away. I don't think there's any chance,
- 38:07Speaker 3: Julian saying wins and nor should he fifth best player
- 38:11Speaker 3: on his team for goodness sake. But and I don't
- 38:16Speaker 3: think Jeremiah Loves got a chance either. They'll show up,
- 38:19Speaker 3: they'll go through the pomp and circumstance, have their families
- 38:21Speaker 3: interviewed and all that stuff. But I do believe Diego
- 38:24Speaker 3: Pavi has got a reason to be there. He just
- 38:27Speaker 3: might snag this thing away from Fernando Mendoza. That would
- 38:30Speaker 3: be shocking. It would be shocking, even though even though
- 38:33Speaker 3: I'm preparing people for it, it still would be shocking
- 38:35Speaker 3: to see that happen at the last second.
- 38:37Speaker 9: I mean, I think that there's maybe not an argument.
- 38:40Speaker 9: I think he probably will win, and it probably is
- 38:42Speaker 9: the right choice, just taking Indiana to where they're at
- 38:45Speaker 9: right now, the number one team in the nation. And
- 38:47Speaker 9: it's not it's not in spite of him, Like if
- 38:49Speaker 9: Julian saying, if you were if they were still the
- 38:51Speaker 9: number one team, you would be like and it's because
- 38:53Speaker 9: of Julian saying, I mean it's because of him and
- 38:55Speaker 9: leading the team and doing what he's done. And yet
- 38:58Speaker 9: I mean, there's gonna be some people that it will
- 39:00Speaker 9: vote for the love Kid because he pretty amazing. Now,
- 39:03Speaker 9: typically running backs just don't get it anymore, but we
- 39:05Speaker 9: did just come off a year where a dual threat
- 39:07Speaker 9: guy want it, and so I don't know a dual threat.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a couple people will vote for him,
- 39:12Speaker 3: but I don't think he's going to come anywhere close.
- 39:14Speaker 2: I don't think he will either. That's just the nature
- 39:16Speaker 2: of the award nowadays. So I'm with you. I think
- 39:19Speaker 2: that he's gonna win, but I wouldn't be surprised if
- 39:21Speaker 2: it went another direction.
- 39:22Speaker 3: All right, Coming up next, you Mellon's gonna join us
- 39:24Speaker 3: x's and O's on a Friday Sports Radio ninety three
- 39:27Speaker 3: point three kJ RFM
