• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Another day of the next round. Along with Lance Taylor,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I'm Ryan Brown. Dunaway continuing his vacation in Ireland. We
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: say hello to you on Sport and State. It is
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the next round presented by Hard Rock Bet. Hardrock.bet.com. We'll
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: tell you more about them coming up. Tyler Johns, Scott Forrester,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Brooks Carter, all in the back room there. Making us
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: look good and sound good. Keeping us between the lines there.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We always appreciate them doing that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Lance Taylor playing a little bit under the weather. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: think all of us have been sick of late at
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: one point or the other.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: You know, I typically have that 24 hours. We might
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: have talked about this a couple of weeks ago where
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: you have the seasonal change. But, you know, Leighton went
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: out to L.A. a couple of weeks ago. She came
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: back with COVID. And then Jack got COVID last week.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Are you telling me I'm being exposed to COVID?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I told you yesterday when I walked in, I felt
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: like complete horseshit. And it might be COVID. It might
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: be seasonal change. I really don't know. I just feel
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: there's not much you can do about it. And, you know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's going to feel sorry for me
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: talking four hours with a sore throat.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It's not exactly digging ditches or laying asphalt, so it
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: is much easier. But you do have a sore throat.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I was telling you I was watching a movie last
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: night called The Wait. I know Tyler has seen this
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: with Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe. But he basically gets arrested,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and he's on one of these. It's not even a
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: work release because they're still incarcerated, but they do get
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: daily wages. But basically just moving rock with a pickaxe.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: That is the.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I remember that movie now. Yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: No, you really don't because it just came out a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: couple months ago.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: No, I remember the preview.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. I obviously haven't seen it. I've seen
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: very few movies, but I remember the trailer and thinking, wow,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they're going to make a whole movie out.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Of that, huh? Yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think you would have loved it. I thought
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: it was really, really well done. You described it as gritty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: It was. A lot of violence. But anyway, with all
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: that said, these dudes are out there in the heat
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: having to wear full Canadian tuxedos, head-to-toe, denim, and just
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: swinging pickaxe.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, yesterday, I was trying to figure out how to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: do a golf swing, my normal golf swing with my
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: pinky injury here.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I thought you practiced at home.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Well, without a ball, though, Tyler, and without hitting the ground.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You know, the ground impact changed it a little bit.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It is different.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, those are important parts in playing golf.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And all I did at home was just hold a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: club and see, you know, if I could grip the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: club enough to swing it and check mark right there.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm going to be fine. And I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: go play yesterday after the show, and I get to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the driving range to warm up, and the first time
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I hit the ground, I'm like, okay, this is going
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to be a little different.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I've got to figure this out. What does the ball weigh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: three ounces?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It's not even really the ball. It's the ground impact.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it weighs.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: So as long as you're hitting it clean, it's fine.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Like driver, I mean, fine, because I'm not hitting the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: ground with a driver. But anything at the ground with
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was a little bit different. But I want you to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: know I fall through. I'll fall through. So probably about
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the third hole, I had it figured out, and I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was good to go. So everybody settle down. I've got
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this under control. I'm still going to be able to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: play golf with this injury.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you don't want to further your injury. We don't
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: want to have to put you on IR.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want to make it worse, but I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I can manage through it and continue to heal while
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I play. I'm going to play hurt for about a month, probably.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, actually, I go back now that we're... Jordan only
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: had one flu game.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm going to have a series of flu games.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I'm probably going to have a series of COVID games.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: No, I was about to flip this around on you.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Was it not you at the end of the week
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: that barely you were running on fumes because you couldn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: even talk?
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So maybe you gave this to me.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: No, I think that was just sinus. I don't know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I never had a fever. I thought, am I wrong
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: about this? Somebody in the back room tell me, am
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I wrong about this? I thought you could not pass
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: along a sickness unless you were running a fever.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. I don't know if that's necessarily true.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think that's true.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: I thought once you're on antibiotics, you usually can no
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: longer pass along a sickness.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I think if it's viral, you don't have to have
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a fever.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: But I thought that was all.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: The University of Rochester says, yes, you can be contagious
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: even without a fever. You can be contagious before symptoms start,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: during mild or non-fever illnesses, like common colds and mild
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: cases of flu or COVID.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a cough can certainly spread. I mean, that was
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: the whole reason behind the masks.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I thought you weren't communicable unless you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: had a fever. I always thought that was like the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: measuring stick. Are they running a fever?
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Well, let's send them to school.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Isn't that what we do?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Well, with COVID, there was a huge fear about people
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: being asymptomatic carriers and getting people sick.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I don't have a fever right now. My ears feel
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: like they're about to blow out.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Do they? Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: You know what we should do, Ryan?
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: We should flip this segment and send it to mine, yours,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: and Scott's wife, since they're all nurses and they can
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: tell how ignorant we sound.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, I guarantee you they is.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, my wife would not be surprised.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if they ever checked in on the show, which
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I bet they don't, they're probably just shaking their heads.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: No, my wife does watch the show. She's probably watching
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at home right now, and if so, I'll get a text. Actually,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I think she had a hair appointment. But because the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: other day when we were talking about Cajun food, she
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: texted me and she says, no joke i was planning
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on making jambalaya for dinner i was like she's like
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: i don't have to do it if you don't want
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: i was like no i literally said one is great
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: i just don't want it meal after meal after.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Meal just exit off for 2026 that's right we'll revisit
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: first quarter.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: That's right we don't have to do it again this
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: week but one jambalaya fantastic so she made jambalaya for
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: dinner was very good um Look, in the chat, I know, guys,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I freely admit I've said many
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: times I did not go to Jacksonville State's medical school
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: or their school of law. So when I talk medicine
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and law, you should never take it as the gospel.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You should always consult your local attorney or your local physician.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Don't go by what I say, but I just throw out,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you know, things just to see if they're true or not.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I think it's best in general to not take a
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: podcaster's advice like to heart.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I would tend to agree on that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And I think it's more of a just a long perspective.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: We've been around for so long that you just you
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: build your own theories.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: And you feel like, I guess, that if somebody doesn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: have a fever, you can't spread it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Richard is right. Fever-free for 24 hours
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is the school rule, and that's why I think what
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, that is definitely the school rule.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Fever and diarrhea-free and vomiting-free.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I've never heard the diarrhea or the vomiting part.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the diarrhea goes without saying because you
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: can't really leave the house, right?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Pretty much, yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Some of these schools are strict, and they don't accept
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the doctor's notes after the fact.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not sending my kid to shit himself at school.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't either.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: If he's got the diarrhea, he's going to stay home.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Or she.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: It's not just limited to males.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So....
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I say I hope you get to feeling better.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, thanks.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you for fighting through. Thank you for fighting through.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We're a man down already. We can't be two men down.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: That's a lot to ask. It was not going to happen.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We always start where the last thing we saw
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: last night is we start a reminder Hard Rock Bet.

• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you can get all that right there at hardrock.bet backslash clay.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So we had an actual Rays win last night. The
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Brewers were looking to close out in a sweep the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: World Series. It took 12 innings, but the Rays said, no, sir,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you're not closing it out on our field. We'll extend
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this thing at least one more night. They'll play again tonight.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: But a very exciting finish last night in extra innings.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Cooper Pratt was so good for the Brewers, and they
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: were three outs away after his solo shot in the
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: top half of the 12th. from winning their first ever
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: World Series. And then the Rays. Ben Williamson comes up.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Bases loaded.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: No outs.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: He had one postseason hit in his career. Gets the single.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: They get the walk-off. They win it 4-3. And, you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Kevin Cash, really, we talked about this yesterday. The chances
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: of them coming back from 0-3 against a red-hot Brewers
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: team is like slim and none. But you literally have
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: to go old cliche and take it one game at
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: a time.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: And, like, he emptied the clip last night. 21 players,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: 14 position players, seven pitchers. Hey, there's no tomorrow. Why not, right?
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And so they're just going to take this day by day. Like,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you know, they went with their number four guy, Jax,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: last night. And, like, moving forward, I think it's just
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: going to be committee. And they're going to try to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: find a way to piece this together. If they can
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: somehow get this back to game six in Milwaukee, it
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: becomes somewhat interesting.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: If you're a Brewers fan, you want to win it
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: whenever you can win it. But you also would love
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to see it in Milwaukee, wouldn't you? You wouldn't mind
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: another Rays win to get this back to Milwaukee?
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: If I'm personally a Brewers fan and I've got a
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: ticket to game six or seven, I would like to
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: see it. I would roll the dice. But if I'm
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a Brewers fan from anywhere else, I wanted to close
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: it out last night. I wanted them to close it
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: out last night because I had the under seven runs.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I think most people... Got this probably at 7.5 because
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: it did go up. So I had to take a
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: push last night. So I was hoping that it ended
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: 3-2 and we were done with baseball until next year.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, more on that in a moment. But, I mean,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: it is a roll of the dice. You just want
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to win. And listen, if you watch these games, there's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a ton of Brewers fans at these games. These Brewers fans,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: their last World Championship was 82, is that right?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: No, they've never won one. So their last World Championship
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: was Noah's Ark? Yeah, it was 82. They were in
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the World Series, that's right. Or actually, when they won the.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: AL back then.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So basically they are, yeah, it's true, it was, wasn't it?
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Old County Stadium.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: So basically they're like, we're going to see our team
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: win this thing. I don't care if I have to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: stay in Tampa for three or four days. The weather's nice.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: We'll stay here and watch this thing. Because there are
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a ton of Brewers fans in the stadium if you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: watch this. But I think if you're deep down inside,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: if you're a Brewers fan, you're a season ticket holder,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you've gone to all those games, you'd like to see
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: it get back to your place to win it, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you don't want to roll the dice. You don't want
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to roll the dice.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I agree. Even if you don't have a
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: ticket and you're in Milwaukee and you want to experience that,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: but you're going to experience it anyway. I can't even
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: imagine the parade they're going to have, the after celebration.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: They will drink Milwaukee dry.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, yeah. I don't think people will. Of course,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: they're professionals. Like, you know, there are, you know, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: remember back in the day, you'd go out on a
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Thursday night until 5. three, four in the morning, get
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: up at eight and go to work. I mean, that,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: that is the Milwaukee fan that typifies them. So I
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: was going to say most of them would miss work
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: tomorrow if they clinch tonight and win their first ever
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: world series, but they probably will just go straight to work.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I will just never forget last year when we did
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: our road show at Gillette's the week of Bama, Wisconsin,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: when Wisconsin was in Tuscaloosa with our friends at Bud
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Light and we were at Gillette's and we were talking
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to the Gillette's owners and they're like, um, Some of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: our bar friends, bar owner friends in Wisconsin have told us,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much beer you have on hand,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: but you don't have enough.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: It's such a bold statement.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: It really is. But they were like, we know this
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: fan base. You don't have enough beer. And the Wisconsin
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: fans traveled very well to that game in Tuscaloosa. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I remember following up next time we were at Glad's.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey. They were like, we didn't have
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: enough beer. Thank God we listened to them and stocked
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: up because they would have.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Drunk us up. I've only been in that situation one
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: time where I saw a venue completely get drank out
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: of everything and we were at the Beau Ravage and
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: it was in the summer like 15 years ago and
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: we just had a really really wild group with us
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: and there were other wild groups I don't know if
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: you've ever been to the Beau Ravage it's the only
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: time I've ever been.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You know I have not I don't go to the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: classy places yeah yeah um but we were in the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: pool and in five four five in the afternoon they
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: had run out of everything like the Beau Ravage the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: one in Biloxi Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: So like they got to a point they were like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: all we've got right now is like Negro Modelo and Landshark.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Like bring it on.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: And so just kept going until they were like, we
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: absolutely have no more beer at the pool.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: So you and 14 other guys drink a pool dry.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, again, it was the crew with us. It
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: was like six or seven of us. And then there
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: were just other pockets of people. But it was like
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: a perfect storm of. Just mayhem.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: But I've only seen it one time. I mean, that's
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: really hard to do.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I would imagine.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So whenever this is over, I'm sure. And Milwaukee lifts
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the trophy. That will be a party like Milwaukee has
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: not seen in a very long time, if ever.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: It was it was pretty crazy when they won the
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: box championship.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: But so you were working there then.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: I was working in local news the night that they
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: won in game six over the Suns.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Because as you know, and you saw this, there were
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: people there that don't give two rips about the Bucs,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: but it was a chance to.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Go out and party, right? They were just at their party.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: They call it the deer district around the arena, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: they had an outdoor watch party. There was over 60,000
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: people outside of Pfizer Forum where the Bucs played that night.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: It was crazy.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing is those parties just
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: end up being a party. Like, oh, how long have
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you been a Brewers fan? Hadn't watched them all yet.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think it is a little bit different.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Like the Bucs, you get Giannis and everything kind of
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: falls together because I guess that was the first one
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: they had won since 1969 with Lou Alcindor. But Brewers fans...
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I had a buddy that played for the Brewers.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: He talked about that was one of the most passionate
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: fan bases he's ever seen. I mean, they have been
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: all in forever. So I think it really is truly
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: box seem a little bit different. I think the way,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: and I know Brooks kind of went through their pecking order,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: but it does seem like the Brewers and the Packers,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: they've got a huge passion for those.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: You talked about the fans traveling the road opponent, like the,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: the opponent from this on the other side, I actually
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: could not have worked out better. They, um, People in
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Wisconsin will call themselves the left coast. The Midwesterners go
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: to the left coast of Florida. Northeasterners snowbird on the
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: right coast of Florida.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know why we've got to separate.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, that's just what a lot of, so
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: a lot of them, there's a lot of snowboarders from
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: that area that actually live in the Tampa area.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: So that's probably where a lot of the fans are
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: coming from.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like any time the Rays play the Yankees,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: they sell the joint out because you've got so many
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: transplanted New Yorkers down there. And the same with the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Marlins down in Miami when they play, when the Yankees
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: or the Red Sox come to town.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: And you've got, I mean, like, you know, Winter Haven,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: all of these Clearwater, all these people drive up because
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: they're Yankees fans.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: But with that said, you mentioned this in passing a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: moment ago, one more game until next year. I had
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: not thought about this, but almost everybody in baseball says
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to have a lockout. Oh, yeah. And there
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: are some that think it may cost us the entire season.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So this literally, whatever game we watch next, could be
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the last game you see until 2028.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: No, you know, unfortunately, we had this in 1995, right?
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: 94, maybe?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: 94.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: 94.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Was 94, yes.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: But 95 was a short season, right? The year the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Braves won it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I thought 94 was the shortened season that ended up
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: completely on strike.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they started late in 95.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: They might have. But 94 is when now you're Washington Nationals.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: The Montreal Expos seem like the best team in baseball.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, 144 games.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: In 95?
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so what is that, 18 short of a full season?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I knew it was a late start because of
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the length of the strike. But 94 was– we were
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: past the all-star break, were we not? It was right.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: Around July 31st, August 1st, I think, was when it
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: got cut off. And that's the season all the Expos
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: fans always talk about.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: No, they were good. How contentious does it have to
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: get now with the money involved in the television contracts
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: to really have a lockout? Because back then, the television
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: contracts were so different in Major League Baseball.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: So, like– But, I mean, we have got fair warning,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: and you wonder if this is why you get it
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: so far out. It's like, got to be able to
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: work this out one way or another.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you would think we could find some
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: common ground before just shutting down an entire season.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Do you think we ever have a strike in college football?
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: In fact, it may be the most likely because.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: A lot of times, strikes are a result of you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: form collective bargaining early, and then it's not exactly what
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you thought it was going to be, and then you realize, well,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: we didn't get what we needed, so now you have
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to threaten strike to get that. Until things get.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Smoothed out a lot of times.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Everybody's happy initially.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: To me, there is no infrastructure right now, and the
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: way it probably will begin is a piss-poor infrastructure, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: there's so many things going in so many different directions
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: that I just wonder what a strike would look like
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: with no players unions.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Like it feels like, well, I don't know that you
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: can have one when it was players union, you know?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to have collective bargaining before you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: can have a strike, I guess. I mean, I would
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: say the one that is oddly probably the furthest away
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: feels like the NFL, doesn't it?
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: It's like everybody in the NFL is making so much
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: money right now that everybody's.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Everyone.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Coaches, players, owners.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: There's nobody in the NFL that's not making money hand
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: over fist right now. So you're like, you know, whatever
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I dislike. We could probably get past it right now
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: on both sides. I think ownership and players are both like, okay,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: let's find the common ground here because we are printing
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: money right now. We don't want this to end. So
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I say all that to say that potentially the next
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: game you watch in Major League Baseball could be the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: last one you see for more than a year. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: hope that's not the case, but it certainly could be
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the case. They will play again tonight. As you said,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: starter doesn't really matter, right, for the Rays? It's just
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: going to be whoever's got an arm that's not falling
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: off their shoulder is going to pitch for them.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I think that's probably what they're going to look like
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm checking updated numbers at Hard Rock Bet
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: just to see if they have laid somebody out. But
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: what I read this morning, it was.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: So the Brewers, no matter what, the Brewers are going
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to be favored in every game moving forward.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, Miz is on the mound tonight, and
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: they're minus 150. But again, if you can get, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I would assume he's going to be back for game
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: seven if it did go seven, but if you could
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: get to him tonight, get him out early, scrap along,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: pull out a win like you did last night, this
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: thing goes 3-2 back to Milwaukee, it gets really, really
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: interesting at that point. I would lean that more than
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: likely this thing is done tonight.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the feel. It's it.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Again, they did unload the clip last night.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: What do they call this, the gentleman sweep?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Is that what they call it?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: You hear that more in basketball than you do in baseball,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: but in basketball they talk about the gentleman sweep. We'll
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: let you win a game at home, but we're going
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to sweep you out. I don't think the Brewers let
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: them win a game at home, but you see this
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: happen a lot. It's on the verge of a sweep.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: You're at home.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Like you said, a manager just empties the clip, gives
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: everything he's got. They get the win, and then the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: inevitable happens the next night, which is probably what's about
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to happen here. All right, we've got a lot to
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: get to. NFL, we're going to do NFL Power Rankings.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: And something could happen Sunday in the NFL. And we
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: play a lot of NFL games that has not happened
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: in 32 years in the NFL. And when I tell
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you what it is, you're going to be like, man,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that is crazy that it goes back to 1988. But
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: something could happen Sunday in the NFL that has not
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: happened in 32 years. Is there a major coach that's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: on the hottest seat? He actually addresses it. We'll talk
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: about that. Andy Staples with us. Coming up at the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: start of the next hour to talk some college football
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: from on three. We will do all of that on
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the show today. It is the next round on Sporting
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: State presented by Hard Rock Bet.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

• 20:02
  Speaker 3: How about that protection? Can I grab a wing?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Coach's wings.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I guess I'll sit on the ground.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: That's where Coach puts his feet.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Safe and secure betting from the very first tap.
• 20:10

• 20:11
  Speaker 2: It was Coach's pleasure.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: It is the next round of Sports Day presented by
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bet. As we return, we are about to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: talk about one of the hottest seats in college football,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: just how hot. Is it? And the coach is having
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to answer the question about his hot seat. First, XXXY

  Speaker 1: On Sporting State and Daily Wire, where this show is
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: consumed each day in the first two hours, I realize
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: there are many of you that we're just a couple
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of rubes from Alabama, and you don't know anything about us,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and we welcome you to learn about us. One thing
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you'll learn about Lance is very early as a child,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: he adopted the LA teams as his favorite. You were
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a Dodgers fan. You're a Lakers fan. You used to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: watch a lot of Kings hockey. I used to watch
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a ton of Kings hockey. Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: And when we started to do this and we've got
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: so many things that we talk about and we just
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: never talked in the NHL. So I kind of just
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: kind of grew away from it.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And, you know, we we made our bones in Birmingham
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of NHL fans in Birmingham.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of hard to talk NHL. If you
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: have watched our show since we started on Sporting State,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: which has been, what, six weeks or so? Is that
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: how long we've been on Sporting State since the start
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of college football, right?
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe eight weeks. A couple months.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Two months.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Over two months. Thank you, Brooks. It might not be
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: apparent to you that Lance is also a Rams fan.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: That may not have jumped out at you.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: No, probably not.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: He's got all the L.A. teams, and included in that,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the USC Trojans. As a college football fan, you've always
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: had a soft spot in your heart. You actually lived
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: in L.A. for a little bit. You've been to USC games.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: You've been to games for all these franchises and sports teams.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: But as a college fan, you've cheered for the Trojans
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: over the years, right?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I have and seen some really, really good days. If
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: you go back to Pete Carroll and saw a really,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: really good year with Clay Helton and saw a B
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: year in Lincoln Riley's first year, but this tenure in
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: five years now, 41 and 20 coming off. Maybe the
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: worst offensive performance I have seen in his five years
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: at USC.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It's the worst offensive performance he's ever had. First time
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: he's been held to seven points as a head coach.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Coming off a bye.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Coming off a bye. And playing, I know a team
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: that's got a respectable record, but at best, mid-tier Big
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Ten team.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, what I would call Wisconsin right now is Auburn.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Is that fair? I think that's fair.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've got a better record. I mean, Wisconsin,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: we waste time talking about it because they're probably going
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to lose to Iowa Saturday.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, Wisconsin would be a slight favorite over Auburn,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: but I'm just saying in the pecking order of the SEC,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: it seems like Auburn or maybe Mississippi State.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, Wisconsin, they're a mid-tier Big Ten.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: They're Florida right now. They're 5-2.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Florida would walk.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: He said in the pecking order.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I know.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: No, because I was going to say that USC, if
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: we're just going SEC analogy, USC is kind of Florida.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: And if Florida was to go and score seven points
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: against Mississippi State or Auburn, that would be a terrible look.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And they threw for 5,800 yards. Wisconsin did. I
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: don't know what SEC did. Well, anyway, terrible loss.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know you live there. I mean, it's a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Lakers town or a Dodgers town?
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: It is Lakers first.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Lakers first.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: It is Dodgers second.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: It is now Rams third.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: After that, I think you could start to talk about USC.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Is USC more important in that town than the Chargers?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I've never really figured out where the Chargers' place.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: In that town is.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, USC is more important than the Chargers.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: That answers my question. The Chargers feel like a misfit there.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: They are a misfit there. Because at least... Take them
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: back to San Diego.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but at least the Rams in L.A. used to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: play in Anaheim, so you probably had some fans that were...
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Anaheim Rams fans back in the day.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I went to a game in Anaheim. Yeah,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: it was an awesome stadium, wasn't it? It was absolutely awful.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: It's a top. But, you know, it was back when
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: the fans used to wear the watermelons on their head. Right.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, look.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: And they did that, why?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I really never knew.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just a thing.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that at all?
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I actually do not. Yeah. I thought you were going
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to say it was when fans wore bags.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: On their heads.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I've seen that plenty. They wore watermelons on their heads. But,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, there was a good contingent of Rams fans
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: back then that, You know, they started the Coliseum, they
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: went to the Big A, they went to St. Louis,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: they came back to the Coliseum, and now they're in SoFi.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: So a lot of these fans have followed them around.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Chargers fans, it's a weird deal. I
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: don't know why there are Chargers fans in L.A. other
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: than the fact you got shut out on Rams season tickets,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: so the Chargers tickets are cheaper. I don't know.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Chargers are down there with Mighty Ducks, Angels.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is pretty low.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: So I bring that up to say I don't know what, like,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: fan outrage in L.A. looks like, like, If Caleb DeBoer
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: ever ends up on the hot seat, I know what
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that's going to look like at Tuscaloosa. If Lane Kiffin's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat or Josh Heupel's on the hot seat,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I know what that's going to look like in Baton
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Rouge and Knoxville because those are by far and away
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the most important things in those cities.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm going to try to do this on
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the fly. Let's just use Alabama as the example.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, you've got 100% of the Alabama fan base. Fans
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: that would be calling for Kalen DeBoer's head in year
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: five would be 90% of the fan base of Alabama,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: at least, right? Okay, yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: If it matches what Lincoln Riley has done, which it's
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: already exceeded what Lincoln Riley has done because Kalen DeBoer's
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: been to the playoffs once.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Because I think 90% of the Alabama fan base, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: this is a lot of, and the same goes for
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of SEC fan bases, 90% is that passionate.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: You have more of a 10% casual that would be like,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: I enjoy the games. I'm not going to call for
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: this guy to be fired. It's not that big of
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: a deal. I think it completely flips. I think 10%
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: of the fan base at USC is overly passionate. And
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: they are the SEC-like, this guy's got to go. And
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: then the 90% is like, hey, we'll go to a
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: couple of games a year. We enjoy the tailgate. We
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: pull for them. But it's just not that big of
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: a deal.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: So to say Lincoln Riley is on the hot seat
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like a normal college football hot seat is
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: what you're saying.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: It does not. I think Jen Cohen and the board
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: of trustees, they're going to get a lot of pressure
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: from Just the perception of that program. Like, are you
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: really committed to the football program if you were this
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: stuck in mud right now with Lincoln Riley? Right.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: But with that said, one thing Lincoln Riley has not
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: done is endear himself to the media in L.A. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: here's what happens.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: Like.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Most fans don't give a rip about the media. In
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: this state, in Alabama, when Nick Saban used to rip
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: into the media, there were a lot of people in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the media that talked about what a bad look it
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: was and how unprofessional it was and why would he
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: do that. And you know what the fans said? Good,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the media is getting what they deserve. That's the way
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the media is viewed by the fans. And a lot
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: of our friends that are in the media are too
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: stuck in the media to actually realize that that's the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: way they're viewed by the fans. They don't have a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: whole lot of self-awareness. But the fans generally think the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: media deserved what Nick Saban gave them, and it was
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: their guy giving it to them. And Nick Saban actually,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that he did that, he actually...
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: fostered a relationship with some members of the media, it
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't entirely confrontational.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: But now everybody knows, and even before you saw the documentary,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: you knew that there was a message that he was
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: relaying through the media.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: But we talked about it on the show all the time.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: That is not the case when it comes.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: To Lincoln Riley.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley has not done that. Lincoln Riley has alienated
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the media, even like his former, or USC's former players,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: like our buddy Petros Papadakis, who has been openly critical
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: of him, and the way he handles former players and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: handles the media. And here's what happens when you do that.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: When it starts to go south on you, the media
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: realizes for once the fans are in my corner and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I can say anything I want about Lincoln Riley and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to get the blowback that I normally get.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: So they turn vicious. That's what happens when you don't
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: foster a good relationship. The coaches that foster good relationships
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: with the media, if it ever turns bad on them,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the media is like, God, I hate to go in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: on him. He's such a nice guy. He's been so
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: good to me and my family. He invited us to dinner.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: We've been to his house to swim in the pool.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: He sent my kids a Christmas gift. The media's like, God,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I hate to go into him.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: That was Dunaway with Shula.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Mike Shula, he'll admit it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: And probably Fran up until he got lied to.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, with Shula, Dunaway was like, I mean,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: it is hard for me to go. I think Mike Shula,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the time has come. It's hard for me to go
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: in on him because he's been so good to my family.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Look, and I've never been in that opportunity to have
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: a personal relationship with one of these coaches, but I would,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: if I had the opportunity, avoid it at all costs
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: to be objective.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: So it's tough, but it's tough to do that. It
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: is tough to do that. And it's not even like
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: when they give you gifts, like when you get to
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: know them personally, it's hard to go in hard on them.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: But here's where Lincoln Riley is. And now the media
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: has turned on him a little bit. Now he's got
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to start at answering the question about his future. Here's
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley. Riley yesterday talking to the media first of
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: all before we do that Scott if you'll just pop
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: it up he just looks unhealthy skinny to me I
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: mean I hate to say that because I'm not around
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: him a lot but that looks like he looks like
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: he's got a tapeworm he looks like he's like stressed
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: skinny you see people that go through a ton of
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: stress and they lose a lot of weight I hate
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that for Lincoln. I hope that's not the case. But
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: here he is answering the question yesterday.
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: There's been a lot of chatter, too.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Just even connecting you to other.
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: Jobs that have come open already, given in addition to
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: kind of your speculation at USC. I guess I just wonder,
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: a lot of that sort of stems from your fit
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: here and people kind of talking about that. I guess
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: I wonder, year five, how do you feel you fit here?
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love it here.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: I mean, like I told you guys yesterday, A lot
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: of times, there's not many people in college football history
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: that gave up what I gave up to come here.
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: I don't care if it's 15 years down the line.
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: That never should be taken lightly. It's certainly not taken
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: lightly by me. I came here because this is where
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: I wanted to be. I came here because I believe
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: in this place, and none of that has changed whatsoever.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: He will not be there next year. I'm just telling you.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Wow. You're calling it right now.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I was reading an article this morning on potential replacements
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: for Dave Aranda, and we kind of alluded to this.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: He's going to be in the mix there. He's a
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Texas guy. He graduated from Texas Tech. And I think
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: that's where it gets really fascinating. Again, I don't know
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: the dynamic between Joey McGuire, the head coach at Texas Tech,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: and Cody Campbell, the billionaire backer at Texas Tech. But
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: if they lose this weekend to Arizona, which I think
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: they're going to lose to Arizona this weekend, they take
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: on that second loss, they're done. And I think at
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: that point, if there's not a tight relationship, Cody Campbell
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: and all the powers that be start thinking about, well,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: who's the next fit? Lincoln Riley, this has not been
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: a good fit at SC. He's 41-20. You go back
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: to his Oklahoma days, he was 37-7. That was a
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: good fit. Yeah, it was a really good fit. He
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: is more of a Big 12 guy. It makes sense
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: whether it's Baylor or Texas Tech. I will be– I mean,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: they could pull off the upset this win. They could
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: end up winning out, go to the college football playoff,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: win a game, and then maybe everything's fine. But I
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: don't see it. I think next year he's out, and
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I am more fascinated. I think it's almost predictable where
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: he goes. He goes back to Texas. goes back to
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: the Big 12, I really wonder who the next guy
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: at SC will be.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I wonder if, and I wanted to get to that,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: but I wonder if Baylor would look at that and say,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: it didn't work there, but we think it would work here.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I think the Baylor fan base would be thrilled to
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: have him. I know some Baylor fans, not a ton.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I guess I could ask Mosley. We could text Mosley.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I think Mosley would take him. Mosley will have some
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: kind of sarcastic reaction.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: He would have that about Nick Saban.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Always does, which we love about our man Mosley. I
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: was excited when Lincoln Riley took this job. I just thought,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe a little bit bigger of a job.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I thought the offense was going to be really dynamic,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: and it was year one. But Maiava, to play like
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: he did, a veteran quarterback coming off a bye, it's
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: just something is completely off right now with this program.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: You heard what he said right there. Later in that
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: press conference, he said, and this is a quote from him,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I've had plenty of opportunities to leave here.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I did see that. It's one thing that jumped out.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that jumped way out of me. Plenty of opportunities
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to leave USC.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: And to me, that's just something you don't say. I agree.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: But I mean, if you're going to say it, it's
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: naturally going to make people like you and I question like,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: who tried to hire Lincoln Riley away from USC?
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, maybe after the first couple of years,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: like maybe people internally heard that he wasn't really happy.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a great fit. And You know, he had
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: 20 wins in his first two years. So it's not
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: like the guy forgot how to coach. It's my fear
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: for Lincoln Riley, really. And I think this goes hand
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: in hand with the USC program. I think you got
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: to be really delicate with it. I think he handles
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: this more like the NFL and he lets the the
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: inmates run the asylum, so to speak. I don't think
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of structure. I don't think that the
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: culture there is very good. I don't know how much
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: they care about winning. It's just, it's, it's festered into
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: this massive problem.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: The weird thing though, is Pete Carroll ran it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: To a certain extent, the way you're describing. And it
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: was extremely successful. He ran it like a pro franchise
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: in L.A. because they didn't have a pro football franchise
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: at the time. Southern Cal became the pro football franchise
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: in L.A.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: But they ran it with an edge. Like there was
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: something about those USC teams. And a lot of people
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: forget Pete Carroll. It was defense first. He's a defensive guy.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: They were dominant defenses. Everybody remembers the Reggie Bushes and
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: the Matt Leinerts and all that kind of stuff. But
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: it really was defense first. But they had an edge.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: When they came out, they wanted to intimidate. It was
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Alabama under Nick Saban. You remember how dominant those teams were,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: and they had some head-scratching losses, but it's just a
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: completely different attitude. They're not physical anymore. They don't believe
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: they're going to win. I don't know if they care
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: if they win.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: That's sad, if that's the case. By the way, you
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned Cody Campbell and Texas Tech. If they lose this weekend,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: what will Campbell's reaction be? Because they lost one game
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: already this year, and Campbell basically sent out a tweet
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: saying this is unacceptable. We've got to be better than this.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: In response to that tweet, we don't have the series.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Scott doesn't have the series of tweets because I forgot
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: to tell him this. But in response to that tweet,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: there was a radio producer in Lubbock. I think it's
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Eagle 98.7, their sports talk station, who basically quote tweeted
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Cody Campbell saying, And essentially said, please stop talking. It's
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: not helping.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I looked at the guy. He's the producer. Just a producer.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Not just a producer. I've been a producer, so I
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: shouldn't say it that way. A producer for a sports
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: radio station in Lubbock, Texas. He had like 179 Twitter followers. Like,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: nobody saw this. Nobody saw it. He had 179 Twitter followers.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And Campbell responds to it and says... Instead of stop talking,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: how about we have Texas Tech players stop talking to
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Eagle 98.1 and then tagged the sports information director, the
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: media relations director, in the tweet. Said, how about let's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: discuss this and tag the sports information director. I mean,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: that's Cody Campbell. That's a billionaire responding to a radio
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: producer saying, Who says, just please quit talking. It's not helping.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: And saying, how about we quit putting Texas Tech players
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: on your station?
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I bet they got the Eagles' attention, right?
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: You think that producer was nervous to take the phone call?
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, you're a billionaire donor to a major
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: college football program.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: He's basically the owner of Texas Tech.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: He's a team owner, essentially, in the NFL. And you're
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: going to go back and forth with a radio producer, man?
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: I mean.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's almost... That's after one loss. It's almost
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: as bad as Pat McAfee going back and forth with
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: the university.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's after one loss. Imagine if they do
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: lose to Arizona over the weekend, what his reaction is
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: going to be.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, I.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe we can do that at some point
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: this week. Go through, like, top five upsets that really
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: will spin things out of control. For this weekend?
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll do it tomorrow. Yeah, maybe we need
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: to start doing that as a weekly segment. Well, we
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: did it last week, and we hit a few, actually.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's where we are right now.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I know. I mean, because it seems like every week
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: in college football, we get that week in college football.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: All right, so Lincoln Riley on the hot seat, and USC,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I think, is a– well, let's hear from Ryan Day.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Cut seven and eight, if you will, Tyler. Because I
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: think USC's a live dog here. To use the gambling parlance.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I kind of think that as well.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: And you don't like it that me and Dunaway both
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: had them in ups and downs.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I don't like that, but it does seem, I don't know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: the thing that throws me off is how bad they
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: were last week. Again, I said this yesterday, if they
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: would have lost 24-21, it was just one of those
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: kind of losses, but to seem like they completely tapped out.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That's that's head scratching.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Here's Ryan Day. Now, again, keep in mind, Julian
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: saying is out for maybe the rest of the regular season,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: at least may not get him back to the playoffs.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: So and, you know, they're going to slow play that
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: just real quick to that point, because if they lose
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Saturday night in the Coliseum, they're on the outside looking in.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: But I think most. At that point, I think most
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: voters or most people on the committee would say, well,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: if Sayan's coming back, we give him a pass.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: They're going to get a lot of rope here because
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: of the Julian Sayan injury.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I would agree with you.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: But there are two backup quarterbacks now, and here's how
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day discussed those backups yesterday.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I thought there was progress made last week.
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: I thought the look in both quarterbacks' eyes was good,
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: and I think they're excited about playing in this game,
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: and I think their approach has been right. But they
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: also came to play football, and I think we all
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: have to– remind ourselves that the guys are in the
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: program to get on the field and play. Nobody foresaw
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: this happening, but at the same time, you have to
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: have a plan for it. That's why these guys are
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: on the roster. This is an unbelievable opportunity for them
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: and an opportunity for our team to rally together, to
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: go on the road. That's got to be the approach
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: is to win this game. Nothing else. Not looking ahead
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: to what's down the road. It's going to take everything
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: we have. And you see it all across college football
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: right now that it's hard to win. It's hard to
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: win on the road. And this will be no different.
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: So we've got to be at our best.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Really important. It's not often you wear a sweater with
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: a nut on it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: It's not often you wear anything with a sweater with
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: a nut on it. That's what he's wearing. A Buckeye
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: is a nut.
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: That's tacky ass sweater. You think that's tacky?
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's an understated logo.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: But I just don't know anybody that would be like,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Oh man, that's, I mean, I think most people that
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: walk by him, wherever they're walking by him. I mean,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: you know who he is. If you're a football fan,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: but if you're somebody who's just wearing that sweater, like
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: if you saw somebody right now, uh, you're walking into
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: target and they've got that sweater on, would you have
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: known that was a Buckeye? I would have had no idea.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: If I just see somebody out in the wild, I'm like,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: what is on his sweater?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I would have thought it's a coconut.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with you. I think it's a coconut,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: which is a weird thing to put on a sweater
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: because coconuts are associated with warm weather.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: I would almost think it is like a family-owned business.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: It looks like a little Halloween-sized thing.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Piece of chocolate.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: It's a little milk. Milk.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, I guess a Buckeye is a dessert that
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: you can make. But I guess one more from Ryan Day.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Cut a Tyler where Ryan Day gets asked about how
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the offense is going to look. Now, here's where I
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: think USC's got a shot here. Because Ryan Day is
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: about to talk, he's about to be asked, do you
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: scale the offense back?
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: And that's where now all of a sudden, if you're.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Scaling things back and you're trying to go simple with
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: your offense and you're on the road and you're playing
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: a desperate team and a desperate head coach, that's where
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: it could start to go south for you. And here's
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day on that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 9: How much scale back is the right word, but what
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: can they do?
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: How do you help them?
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: And then how much does what they do here versus doing.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: It on the road at USC kind of change?
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: How do you balance things?
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: Well, Most of what they're doing will be for the
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: first time. So that doesn't exactly allow you to sleep
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: great at night. But I know what we see in
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: practice and our players and coaches know what they see
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: in practice.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: So there's confidence.
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: There is. I mean, you can see there was an
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: energy at practice last week. And these guys are making plays.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: They're learning from plays. And how quickly can you learn
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: from them and grow? And so there's a balance there.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: We can't just crawl up into a ball and just
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: hope to win the game 6-3. If we have to
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: win a game, we will, but we also can't be reckless.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: So I think that's the balance we try to find
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: based on what we have and what's in the game
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: plan and who we're playing.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: 6.30 on NBC Saturday night because that's where USC plays
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: all their games.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: All of them.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: 6.30 on NBC.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I think they've got five straight, if I remember correctly,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: on NBC.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: That sounds right.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, five straight USC games, 6.30 on NBC. Part of
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: what could be an upset night slate. We'll discuss that
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: tomorrow when we try to predict those upsets. All right,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: when we come back on the next round, this is
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: not the only Lincoln Riley, the only guy that may
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: not be in his current place next year, Jordan Rodgers.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: says Arch Manning shouldn't be in his current place next year.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: That is right. Former quarterback Jordan Rodgers, now with ESPN,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: says Arch Manning should consider transferring. He gave three schools
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: that would fit him. I'll tell you why he said
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: those schools and the schools that he said, which might
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: interest you. That is next on the next round on
• 42:00

• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, and he's, man, he is a, I've gotten
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: to spend a little bit of time with him. He
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: is just a super, super nice guy. Is he really? Yeah,
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I remember. Like, very, very genuine.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've not had him on the show a lot,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: but I do remember the day he came by. Boy,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: all these SEC media days run together, but I want
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: to say it was the one in Nashville, and we
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: were in our own room there in Nashville and on
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: our set, and he sits down with us, And the
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: ESPN PR person starts to try to wrap us. Do
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you remember this?
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: And he's like, no, no, no, no.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I'm having fun here. And he shuts down the PR person.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's my kind of guy right there.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we I went out with him and Peter. We
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: went to a dinner, I don't know, a couple of
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: years ago. And then I met him and Clay at
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: a bar in Atlanta. But he's just yeah, he's a really,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: really genuine guy. And it's so funny. Because all these
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: women come up to him, they have no idea, any
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: affiliation with ESPN or the SEC Network.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: It's all about The Bachelorette. And they're like, oh, my gosh.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: There's Jordan. And they want to take pictures. And he's
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: so nice. And, you know, this is not like what
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: you would think, like South Beach, you know, hot women.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: These are, you know, some of the more banged up.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right. They enjoy the show.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: But he is all about, you know, being very, very
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: accessible and just– Again, I haven't spent much time with him.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: The small amount of time I've spent, he is a
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: super nice guy.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: What are you laughing at, Tyler?
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Backroom's just laughing at the description. He's not pulling any
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: South Beach supermodels. He's getting the banged-up one. I'm sure
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: he could.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: He is one of those guys deeply in love with
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: his wife, but I'm just saying he's accessible to anybody.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: The South Beach comes up, he'll take the picture, but
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: I'm saying there's some banged-up soccer moms, and he takes
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: the picture as well.
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: He's just a nice guy.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Lance says all that to say he's a nice guy.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Which he is.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: The times I've been around Jordan Rodgers.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: I love how they giggle back there on some of
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: my comments.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I like when I see Tyler laughing. I know we've
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: said something that is said off the back of the room.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Same game parlay. There you go. Thank you. Jordan Rodgers
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: is going to get up today and said to Mike
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Greenberg that Arch Manning should consider transferring next year. Not
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: because it's toxic in Texas. Not because of it. He
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: says it's just not a good fit for his skill set,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: that offensive style. And this happens. That offensive style is
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: not a good match for his skill set. Now, if
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: you want to go watch the segment, you can find
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: it on ESPN.com, you can find it elsewhere on social media.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: He breaks down why it doesn't fit. I'm not going
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: to try to do the X's and O's. So let
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: me ask you this. Does he think it's a better
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: fit with Lane Kiffin? So, Jordan Rodgers says.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: I have not heard this, and I'm not being serious
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: because I look at Sam Leavitt. Sam Leavitt, to me,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: has the similar skill set of Arch Manning.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: He says there are three schools. Mike Greenberg is like,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: so you're saying he should transfer? He says, I'm saying
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: he should consider transferring to an offense that is more RPO-based,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: still allows him to throw the deep ball because that's
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: where he succeeds. He's basically saying go to an offense
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: that fits him better. You can because Mike Greenberg says, well,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: give me an example of those offenses. He names three schools.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: LSU.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: LSU is number one.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Louisville.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: He did not say Louisville. I'm telling you, two of
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: these would be extremely interesting. Actually, all three of them.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Ohio State.
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: Nope.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: He didn't say that.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: SMU? No.
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I'm just looking at quarterbacks that kind of are in
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: that realm right now. LSU.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Now, what is Sam Levitt's eligibility situation?
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: I think he's done. He's a fifth-year guy.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: This is it. Okay.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: This is it for Sam Levitt. The other one, I
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: know this guy. Well, I know these next two are done.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: And that's basically what Jordan Rodgers said, is there's a
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: path to the field.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what? He could have gone Jason Beck
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: at Michigan if he's going to be there.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: That would be interesting, going to Michigan.
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: Ole Miss....
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: He said what John David Baker is running right now, JDB,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: and Joe Judge is a good fit for him. Trinidad
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Chambliss had two fight in court just to get this.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Year, so he's done. I think he's been very pedestrian,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: probably not as bad as we've summed him up. I
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: just think really the fit, for whatever reason, hasn't been good.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: But I think Ole Miss fans would be really excited
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: about Arch coming there.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: And then the third one was Miami. He said Shannon
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Dawson's offense is an excellent defense. fit for Arch Manning.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: And they are obviously always active in the transfer portal
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: for the quarterback spot. And Mintz is going to be gone.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think LSU makes the most sense of those.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: You know, if you want to play for Kiffin, I don't.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that whole family, I don't know
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: what the dynamic is.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: The Manning family with Kiffin, I mean, he spent so
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: much time at Ole Miss, you know he's got an
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: association with the Manning family. I don't know if it's
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: positive or negative.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I really don't.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: And if it was ever negative, it probably became more
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: negative on the departure.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Or if it was positive, it might have lost all
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: of its positivity based on the departure. um so i
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: i mean i don't know if he'll play it it's
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: becoming increasingly well i should say increasingly clearer or more
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: likely or whatever but the likelihood is growing let me
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: just say that the likelihood is growing that wherever he
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: plays next year it's not going to be the nfl
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: i think a lot of people feel like arch manning's
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: got another college year in front of him.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah Just the way he's played this year. I think
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: that would be the wise thing. Now, would I be shocked?
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, J.P. Lossman got selected in the first round.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Christian Ponder got selected in the first round. I mean,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: with his experience and maybe the upside and just how
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: physical he is, I think there might be a general
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: manager that would take a shot on him in the
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: late first round. But I think it would be wiser
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: for him to come back.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't you think a lot of fan bases would
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: get super excited, though, just to see that name coming?
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: They would look past it. what has appeared to be.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Any shortcomings.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Any shortcomings. It's subpar play, however you want to put it,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: and would get excited about that name. Boy, LSU, I mean,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: that would be so perfect for Lane Kiffin. But there again,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: I just don't know where the Manning family is with
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. I mean, you've got to think the way
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: he left Ole Miss probably rubbed Archie and Eli wrong.
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: And Cooper.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, Cooper's an Ole Miss guy. Let's don't forget that.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, he went to Ole Miss. So, I mean,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: that's got to rub them wrong, you would think. And
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Arch could have gone to Ole Miss out of college
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: in a heartbeat and did not do that. Or out
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: of high school. If it rubbed them wrong.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, this next step for Arch is so pivotal
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: as far as getting back on the good side of
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: all of these scouts and general managers and showing that
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: he could be a franchise quarterback in the NFL. So
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: wherever he goes next, he's got to be super productive.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: So even if there is some kind of, I don't know,
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: strain between the relationship of Kiffin and the Mannings... if
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: you believe that Kiffin could actually bring out the best
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: in Arch Manning, you maybe can get over some of
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: that stuff.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: You're good at setting odds. Odds on Arch Manning being
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: the Texas quarterback next year.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: I would put it right there with Lincoln Riley.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: You said Lincoln Riley's gone.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I would say yes, no. I would
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: say no, minus 150.
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: So in football terms, probably a 4.5-point underdog. The no
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: is a 4.5-point underdog or favorite? So depending on how
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: you look at it, 4.5-point favorite, the fact that he's gone.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Both of those guys are gone.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I put you in a tough spot there.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Minus 150 that both of those guys, if you ask
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: both back, both gone, one back, one gone, I would
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: go both gone.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: That would be the betting favorite is that both would
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: be gone.
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley from USC and Arch Manning from Texas. By
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: the way, before we get to Andy Staples in a moment,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Maryland is doing one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Did you see what Maryland football is doing?
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: And you know I would have no shot at this.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you've left better products than Maryland football. I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: I left a Super Bowl in the third quarter.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Maryland football will be giving away free tuition to a
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: lucky student that is still in the stands of the
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Who do they play Saturday?
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Quit paying attention to Maryland.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Maryland has got Illinois.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: They're a home dog to a bad Illinois team.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: 11 a.m.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: FS1. So they will pick a student still in the
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: student section in the fourth quarter and give free tuition.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: If my child went to Maryland, I would mandate that
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: they be there.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I would too. I almost think this might
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: be fixed. This might be just a promotional thing where
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: they've got some kid that's on their payroll and they're
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: going to act like, you know, Thomas Jones, he was
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: sitting there. We randomly picked him.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would, if my child went to Maryland,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: my daughter is a senior. She's about to graduate at
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: South Alabama. If South Alabama did this Saturday, they're playing
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: La Tech, I think. Well, she's about to graduate, so
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I don't guess I would do it to her Saturday.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: But a year ago, I would have said, I don't
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: tell you you have to do a lot of things.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I let you be an adult now in college. You absolutely,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: positively have to be there in the fourth quarter, and
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to need proof of life that you're there.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: I need a selfie with a scoreboard. Midway through the
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter to let me know. And if my child
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: were at Maryland, it would be a mandate. You have
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: to go. Be at the fourth quarter of this game.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: They could just send you an AI photo now.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: They could. You're right, Tyler.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Nothing is guaranteed.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, can you– I guess you can do that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: I always heard– I don't want to give the destination
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: away because I've never been there, but I heard there's
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys that go fishing there.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, I've heard that story. They do the fake in
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: front of the fish.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can go take the pictures with the fish
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: and your whole group.
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: You know, that's the first thing you do is you
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: run there, you do that, and then you go do
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: whatever you're going to do.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: You go fish for other things after that.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the AI. So, like, if I said I
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: was going to be in Chicago this weekend and I
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: was going to be with a friend from Boston and
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: I needed proof of evidence, do you think I could
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: compose an AI picture of me and my friend from Boston?
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, except you're going to have three ears and eight fingers.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: That's going to be the only problem.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: That's wild.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I know, and we're not going to catch it.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: There's better models now.
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: You just got to.
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: Pay more for them.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go.
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Like everything else.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: I don't need it, but I was just wondering.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Andy Staples on three joins us next. We'll talk some
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: more college football with him on the next round.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: You're sitting in my seat.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Hey, Jimmy, we gave you a seat to my new buddy.
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: What's your name?
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Bill.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: My new buddy, Bill.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Bill, he'll bet $ 5 soon.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: And won $ 3, 300 a hard luck bet. It's Bill's seat now, Jimmy.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll... I'll come back later.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: If you do, bring him water, Jim. And a hot dog.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: You want a hot dog?
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll take a hot dog.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Bill wants a hot dog.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: Hot dog for Bill.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Millions of winners and counting.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Don't forget to relish.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: All right, we continue on the next round. Let's go
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: to Andy Staples on three. He's always kind with his
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: time to join us. Does a tremendous job. He and Ari,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: every single day they're on YouTube. Go follow and subscribe
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: their YouTube channel and give them a thumbs up. Andy
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: and I are very close to being twins today in
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: our Roback hoodies.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: What is up, Andy?
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: How are you, my friend?
• 55:19
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, the most comfortable hoodie in the world, the
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: Roback Hesi hoodie. Yes.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Can't beat it.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: It's like wearing pajamas. It really is. except I would
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: get very hot in this if I wore this as pajamas.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Other than that, it's just like wearing pajamas.
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: Oh, no, you got to roll up the sleeves. You
• 55:33
  Speaker 9: roll up the sleeves, it makes you look jacked. That's
• 55:35
  Speaker 9: the best part.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows I ain't jacked.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Let's start.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: We touched on this in the first hour. We played
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: the Lincoln Riley audio. If you went, you know, one
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: being cold, ten being sizzling, where is that seat right
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: now for him, you think?
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: White, hot, like the surface of the sun. He just
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: lost 24-7 to Wisconsin.
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: He has to play Ohio State this week.
• 56:00
  Speaker 9: They play Indiana. UCLA is undefeated, and the guy who
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: took over at UCLA just got there and is going
• 56:07
  Speaker 9: to get them to the playoff before Lincoln Riley can
• 56:08
  Speaker 9: get USC to the playoff. I mean, it isn't really
• 56:11
  Speaker 9: lining up great for him right now.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I said this earlier, Andy. I believe both Lincoln
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: Riley and Arch Manning will not be at their respective
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: programs next year. Do you see both of those, one
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: of those, none of those? How would you lean there?
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: Were you saying that Arch might wind up playing for
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: Lincoln Riley at Baylor or TCU?
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: It's a possibility. I am kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Just quickly, we were reacting to what Jordan Rodgers said
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: on ESPN earlier today that Arch should transfer. There are
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: better systems for Arch's skill set out there, and he
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: threw out Ole Miss, LSU, Miami as places that would
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: be a good fit for Arch. So that was our
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: reaction to Jordan Rodgers there, the reason we brought that up.
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: Well, but that assumes Shannon Dawson is still going to
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: be at Miami and not somebody's head coach next year.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: So that's the part you don't know. Because here's the thing.
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: If Texas loses another game, if Texas doesn't make the playoff,
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: Sark will not be fired, but he will get the–
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: having to hire a play calling offensive coordinator, ram down
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: his throat. Like they will force him to hire a
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: play calling OC. And then if that person meshes well
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: with arch, then arch might not want to go anywhere.
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: That's a decision you don't make until you have all
• 57:25
  Speaker 9: the information. So everybody who's like.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: You should do this.
• 57:28
  Speaker 9: You should, nobody should do anything right now because you
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: don't know what the situation is.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Going to be.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: That's a, that's a life of college football on the field.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: We've got the cocktail party in Atlanta and it, Florida
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: has been a difficult team to track this year because
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: just when you think they're dynamite, they get blown out
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: by Ole Miss and then blown out by South Carolina
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: in a sense, and then they go and beat Texas.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, this has been a hard team to figure out.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: How close are these two teams right now? I know
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: the point spread tells me about 10. With your Andy
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Staple's eyes, is this a Florida team that could spring
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the upset?
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: I have no idea because this is the same team
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: that got shredded by Missouri. And I was at the
• 58:12
  Speaker 9: South Carolina game. And they did not look like they
• 58:16
  Speaker 9: could cover anybody in that game. And then they're playing Texas. Now,
• 58:20
  Speaker 9: I think what they did against Texas might be what
• 58:23
  Speaker 9: they do for the rest of the season. And I
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: don't know if it's necessarily going to work against Georgia.
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: But what they did against Texas is, it started out
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: with trying to get home with four to protect the
• 58:34
  Speaker 9: back end. Saying, okay, we're going to drop as many
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: people as possible into coverage. We're going to rush with four.
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: Hope you can stunt and hope that gets home. It
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: wasn't working. So they started blitzing. They started sending five
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: and six and saying to the DBs, hey, you're stuck
• 58:52
  Speaker 9: with Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo by yourself. So hang
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: in there. But they were getting home. Against Georgia, I
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: don't know that they get home. And I also don't
• 59:03
  Speaker 9: know that you get the situation. Like with Arch Manning,
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: if you watch the film studies from that Florida game,
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: Arch Manning doesn't look at the receiver who's hot when
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: he's getting blitzed. Like that's not his first thought. It
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: is Gunnar Stockton's first thought. I guarantee you. Like if
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: you send six at Gunnar Stockton and he has a
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: five-man protection, he knows exactly who's hot. and it will
• 59:29
  Speaker 9: immediately throw that guy the ball. So that's the part
• 59:32
  Speaker 9: that I'm not so sure about. I'm not sure if
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: Florida can hold up defensively because offensively, I think they
• 59:38
  Speaker 9: will be better. We don't even know who's going to
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: start a quarterback, whether it's going to be Tramiel Jones Jr.
• 59:43
  Speaker 9: who played against Texas or Aaron Filo. I suspect Vernell
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: Brown III is going to be back. John Summerall seemed
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: very positive about him being able to come back for
• 59:50
  Speaker 9: the first time since the Ole Miss game. He really
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: does open up the offense a lot. He's He's one
• 59:55
  Speaker 9: of those guys that can beat you deep, but also
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: can catch a ball underneath and take it a long way.
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: And then Dallas Wilson's there. Bailey Stockton, who is a
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 9: really valuable member of this receiving core, was playing very
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: hurt in the Texas game. I don't know where he's
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: at medically. But I do think having the two weeks,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: getting Jaden Baugh more recovered from being banged up from
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: the first part of the season. Offensively, I like I
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: like where Florida's at. I'm just not sure defensively how
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: they hold up against a quarterback who is probably going
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: to do the right things with the ball every time.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Rarely can we get to the end of October in
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: a college football season and not be able to identify
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: at least who our opinion is of the best team
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: in college football. If you asked me right now, two
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, I would have said Georgia. I really have
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: no idea, Andy. If you asked me, I could go
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: four or five different directions. Do you have an affinitive
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: who you feel like the best team in college football
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: is right now? Hell no. Not a chance.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 9: Think about Alabama-LSU next week. I can see a scenario
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: where either one of those teams wins out and goes
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: deep in the playoffs.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: But one of them is going to lose and probably
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: be knocked out of the playoff.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: That's the insanity of this season.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the way this season is going, everybody, not everybody,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of people watched Saturday and they say, boy, LSU,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: that looks like the best team in the nation. That's
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: generally when teams lose, when we declare them, oh, this
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: is the best team in the nation now.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, maybe we'll just keep declaring somebody
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: different every week. It's good for content.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: It's good for clicks.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: It's true. I mean, I think it was 2007 we
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: had a different number two every week.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did this every week in 2007.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and then you get to the last day of
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: the season. You get to Championship Saturday, and Missouri's an
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: underdog against Oklahoma, even though they're number two in the country. Like, yeah,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: that tracks. I can see this being a 2007-type season.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: I don't know what our backyard brawl result's going to be, which,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 9: I mean, I can't wait to figure that out.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one was a doozy. The backyard brawl that
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: year with that game had a little meaning to it.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Andy Staples is with us. Andy and Ari every single
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: day on YouTube there. They do a lot of post
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: games as well. You guys, you pick a game, if
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, every Saturday. And you just said, we're
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: going live after that game. Do you have any idea
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: right now which game that's going to be this Saturday?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 9: Fairly large brands and a shocking result.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: That's usually how that works.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 7: Okay, good.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: We always have a post-game show at night.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: So 1030 Central, we're going live no matter what happens.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 9: But yeah, there will probably be one in the noon
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 9: window and one in the 330 window. I would assume
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 9: it's Florida-Georgia in the 330 window.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 9: That's the one that probably everybody's going to be talking
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 9: about because either Georgia knocks Florida from any sort of
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 9: playoff contention whatsoever or Or Florida shocks the world and
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: God only knows what happens in the sec, the rest
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: of the year. So I mean, it's, it's, it's gonna
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: be something like that. And that, I mean, I, I
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: think may well, the noon one's gonna be interesting because
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 9: one of the really intriguing early games is Arizona.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: Texas tech.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 9: Like that one feels like an elimination game in the
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: big 12 title race, because I think you're gonna have
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 9: to be nine and oh, or eight and one. in
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 9: Big 12 play to make the championship game. And the
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 9: loser of this game will have suffered their second conference loss.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will tee him up because this gentleman sitting
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: to my left has said, everybody's talking Texas Tech, BYU, Utah.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: You're not talking enough about Arizona. You like that Arizona.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 9: You don't need to be talking about Texas Tech at
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 9: all if Arizona needs it.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Not if they have Arizona wins.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: No, and look, Texas Tech has a quarterback situation like
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: with Will Hammond. He has not thrown more than one
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: touchdown pass in any game this year, Andy. And you
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: look on the other side, Fafita, your active career leader
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: in touchdown passes, all that experience leading the Big 12.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: incompletion percentage, their defense is playing at a high level.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is just so college football that nobody
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: talks Arizona, but they go into Lubbock, they win that game,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: and then a lot of people probably think they become
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: the favorite in the Big 12.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: No, they don't become the favorite in the Big 12
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: because they've already lost to BYU and they still have
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: to play against Utah. They've got the toughest route in
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 9: the Big 12. Cincinnati has maybe even a tougher schedule,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: but They're probably not in it anymore. But I'll help
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 9: you with those stats, too, if you want to throw
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: this at some people. So Texas Tech, a lot of
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 9: their production has been off of pick sixes or interceptions
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 9: that set up the offense with a really nice spot.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 9: In the last four games, they've intercepted 11 passes, which
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: is great. But the quarterbacks they've played in those four
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: games have not been spectacular. The two best quarterbacks they
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: played were Braden Atkinson at Oregon State, which if you
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: haven't watched Oregon State, you're missing out. That offense is incredible.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 9: And then Connor Wegman at Houston. Against those two players,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 9: they gave up 700 passing yards, six touchdowns, and had
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 9: one interception. Noah Fafita is better than both those guys.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: That is true. I would agree 100% with you. That's
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: a pretty remarkable stat.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: The two biggest stories are what Bob Chesney's doing and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: what Will Stein are doing. Just amazing jobs at really
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: two bad football programs.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: Who do you.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: Believe in more moving forward, though? UCLA or Kentucky?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 9: Well, UCLA has an easier schedule. But I believe in Kentucky.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: What we've already seen them do suggests that they can
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 9: repeat this. It's just They're going to have to, they're
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 9: going to have to go beat Tennessee next week. And
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 9: if they do that, they've still got a mulligan to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 9: play with and they play Florida. You know, I, I,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 9: I think, I think Kentucky is in a good spot
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 9: because really, you know, they have Tennessee, Florida, and Missouri.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 9: You have to go two and one against those teams.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 9: It's not easy to go two and one against those teams,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 9: but if they do it, they're, they're going to make
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 9: the playoff as long as they don't blow it against Louisville.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 9: So that is a, That's an incredible spot to be
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 9: in in year one, given the schedule that Will Stein
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 9: had to face. Because Bob Chesney is doing a great
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 9: job at UCLA, but let's be real. UCLA has one
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 9: of the easiest draws in the Big Ten. Their toughest
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 9: game was Oregon, and Oregon's not Oregon anymore. So they've
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 9: got it pretty good. Kentucky had to go beat LSU.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 9: They had to play Alabama and got destroyed by them.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 9: They had to go to South Carolina, which is now
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 9: looking like a more difficult.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 9: Win that they happen to achieve they went to oklahoma
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 9: we'll see what that winds up looking like by the
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 9: end of the season but i think if if they
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 9: if they can because they're having one of these on
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 9: the road so either tennessee or missouri on the road
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 9: and florida at home i mean that would be a.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Hell of a first year hell of a first year
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt Uh, Andy Staples is with us, by
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: the way, regardless of what happens this weekend, Kentucky enters
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: November and the lead of the sec, which is just remarkable.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 9: Uh, everybody had that on their, uh, on their bingo card. Yeah.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Will Stein apparently did. And, uh, that's what's even more remarkable.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: He's backed it up, uh, on three sports is where
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: you find Andy. You can follow him on social media
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: at Andy Staples, uh, Andy and Ari, uh, do a
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: great job talking college football on YouTube. As I mentioned, uh,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: post game shows throughout, uh, Saturday, including the late one
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: there at 10 30 central time. Um, It's like we
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: have been reprogrammed to forget. It's almost like Men in
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Black where they do the thing and we forget Mario
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Cristobal's history. But Mario Cristobal's history is littered with losing
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: games like Saturday Night and Chapel Hill.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, they played that game already. It was called
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 9: the Florida State game.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe Mario has avoided this. But do you give Bill
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Belichick and the Hills, with a look-ahead potential, with Miami
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: looking ahead to Notre Dame, do you give them a
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: shot Saturday night?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 9: Absolutely not.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 9: Giant talent gap. Giant, yawning talent gap inside of the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: Grand Canyon.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: This is what we said with Georgia and Auburn, though,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: just a couple of weeks ago. That's true, but.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 9: But I feel like the talent gap's bigger here. I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: don't think the talent gap between Jordan and Auburn's that big.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: You had a quarterback.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, the difference in any talent gap is when
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: you've got a quarterback that plays way above his head.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: And Byron Brown did that in that game.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 9: And we've seen Byron Brown do that at times when
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 9: he was at USF. And then, obviously, I mentioned Gunnar
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 9: Stockton earlier when we were talking about Florida and Georgia.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 9: Gunnar Stockton doesn't make a lot of mistakes. And he
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 9: made a very big one at the end of that game. So,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 9: Darian Mensah hasn't made a lot of mistakes since he's
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 9: gotten to Miami. I don't foresee him doing that. And also,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: it feels to me like Shannon Dawson, their OC, has
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 9: really come to understand that when in doubt, press the
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 9: Malachi Tony button. And it all tends to work out
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: after that.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: So, Indiana, your defending champion, I think everybody has kind
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: of flushed Indiana. We know the defense is really good.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: The offense, when you saw them in Lincoln, they had
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: six points in the fourth quarter, ended up winning that game.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: They struggled last week offensively. Again, Josh Hoover is not 100%.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: But as we start doubting Cignetti, you know how things
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: work out here, Andy. I mean, I still think Indiana
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: is one of the top two, three, four teams right
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: now in college football. Where are you right now on
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: the Hoosiers?
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think they're up there. they're sort of a
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 9: supercharged Iowa at this point. You're not going to score
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 9: much on them. If you have a good defense, you're
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 9: probably going to hold them down. But the thing is,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 9: and we'll see, like, the rest of their schedule is Minnesota, USC, Washington, Purdue.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 9: They're going to be playing a couple of, like, Minnesota's
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 9: probably the best defense they're going to play the rest
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 9: of the way. Those next three are not going to
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 9: be able to handle the talent that Indiana has at receiver.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: Nick Martian and Charlie Becker are two of the best
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 9: receivers in the country And so even even with Josh
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 9: Hoover banged up, they'll be able to score enough. Now,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 9: the question is, in the playoff, when they play a
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 9: team that has an offense that can put up some
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 9: points on this, look, there's not a lot of offenses
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 9: going to put up a lot of points on them.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 9: Ohio State only scored 19. But if you happen to be,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 9: you know, have an offense good enough to score 20
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 9: on them, you got a chance to beat them.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I like to do this when Andy is on the show,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: and we'll leave him with this, because he is the
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: one that took me off of Mother Wolf in Vegas,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: and Jennifer and I went.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Back in March when we were in Vegas. That was
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. And
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: I have sent so many people since then that tell
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: me they're going to Vegas. I go to Mother Wolf.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: A friend of mine told me about it, and it
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: was phenomenal. So if you could go to any college
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: football market this weekend and eat any meal, which one
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: would you pick? Hmm.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 9: You know, there's a place I've never tried in Atlanta
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 9: that everybody tells me is amazing. So if I were
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 9: going to the Florida-Georgia game in Atlanta, there's a place
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 9: called Gun Show, which is one of those chef's table
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 9: kind of things. The menu changes every night, but it's
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 9: very protein-based, very carnivore-based. And it looks incredible. So I'd
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 9: love to try that. But of places I have tried
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 9: in Atlanta, I'll throw a couple at you.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: Lesparo.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 9: Everything on the menu is incredible. And, of course, Heirloom Market,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 9: barbecue place, kind of a Korean flavor to it.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: Over by where the Braves play.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: It's awesome.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: Andy, have you been to Marcel in Atlanta? I have not. Oh,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: my gosh. It's maybe the best steak. Everybody talks about Howell's,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: and there's some really good steakhouses. It's a French steakhouse, though.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: The filet and frites. I mean, it is absolutely insane.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: So I would highly recommend Marcel.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 9: Very, very hungry now. Not going to Atlanta this weekend.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 9: Regretting that.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, the, for when we pulled up
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: to heirloom market, we were in Atlanta once and I
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: went there because I had heard the, I heard the hype.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: My wife said, really? And I was like, yeah, these
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: are the best places. When you have to pull up
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: and say, really? You know you've hit a good spot.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Like I told my kids as they were growing up,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you look at how dingy and dirty that
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: restaurant looks. Do you know how good their food has
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: to be to stay in business? When they look like that,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: people don't want to go there. The food's got to
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: be incredible.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 9: The lady who founded it in her youth was a
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 9: pop star in Korea.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: Yes. I didn't know that story.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's amazing.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Heirloom Market's fantastic.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: Probably should have sticked with the K-Pop. I think they
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: make a little bit more than the typical restauranteer.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad they were.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 9: I think the K-Pop sort of ran its course. So
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 9: then came the kimchi and the gochujang.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fantastic. Heirloom Market's really good. Andy Staples,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: at Andy Staples on social media. Andy and Ari, check
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: them out on the postgame shows Saturday after your favorite
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: team wins or loses. Andy, thank you very much for
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: the time. We always appreciate it.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 5: Thank you, gentlemen.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: All right, buddy.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Take care. Andy with us on the next round.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: Have you ever gone over ourselves? I have not.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: I remember when you went and you were very high
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: I've only been twice now, but man, next level.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Fox barbecue in Atlanta is very good, too. If you
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: like the more traditional barbecue, like Andy said, heirloom barbecue,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: it's got the Korean flavor.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: I need to try it.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at it right now.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's fantastic.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: I can get some brisket and some kimchi.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: In one place.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Yep. Now, connected to a service station, a convenience store, basically.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think they sell gas. I say a service station.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's just a convenience store. Connected to a
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: convenience store, parking is a bit of an issue. I
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: don't think you can sit anywhere. I think it's all standing.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: They have the high top tables, and I think you
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: have to stand. I don't think there's any. See, we
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: stood to eat, so I don't think there's any seated area. Fantastic, though.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: Highly recommend. Heirloom Market, if you've never been in Atlanta.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: I had not heard of, what did he say, Gun Show?
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: I want to go try that. Never heard of that either.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: That sounds really good. I'll have to go to Gun Show.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: It's a terrible name, though. It is, but it gets
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: your attention.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I say it's a terrible name, but
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: it gets your attention, right?
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: Gun Show. What is Gun Show?
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Gun Show.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: Mother Wolf's a good name.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Mother Wolf is a good name, and it is fantastic.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Next time you're in Vegas, try it.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: So you know it's just not Vegas. I do. I'm
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: well aware of that. I was having a conversation about
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: Mother Wolf.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: I think it started in Miami.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: Miami, L.A., and Vegas.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, they got one in L.A.? Yeah. The Vegas one
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: is in the Fontainebleau, so it's down at the end
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: of the strip. But it is terrific, and you will
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: not leave there not full. I promise you that. You'll
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: have plenty to eat. All right, we are presented here

  Speaker 1: We'll talk some NFL and college football with him. But first,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: as we return, Clay Travis Law brings you part of
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: the show, as always, our friends at Clay Travis Law.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, accidents do not wait for a good time.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: That's why our man Clay Travis started Clay Travis Law,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: built firm around one idea. People deserve someone willing to
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: pay attention, ask those hard questions, and push back when
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: things don't add up. They experienced trial attorneys who bring
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: the fight to corporations and insurers based in Nashville, trusted
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: across the country. They lead negotiations with honesty, determination, and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: southern grit. They, car wrecks, truck wrecks, ride share accidents,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability. If you were wrong,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: they want to hear about it. Here's what they promise. Honesty.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: They're not going to sugarcoat your case. You're going to
• 1:17:40

  Speaker 3: Tell them your story. Go to claytravislaw.com. Call 877-222-4444. That's claytravislaw.com.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: No case too big or too small.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that might not be
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: big NFL fans. They may not sit down on a
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Sunday and watch it start to finish. But on Sunday night,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, more football. And it's Sunday night on NBC.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: This should be one of the best NFL games of
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: the weekend. And they're going to sit down this Sunday night.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: And turn it on, and they're not going to get
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: one of the best NFL games this weekend. The Sunday
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: night game this week, the Eagles at the Commanders.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 5: Awful.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: Combined three wins in this game.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: And we are playing week number eight of the NFL. Boy,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: that is a stinker right there, buddy.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I, you know, before this season, you could
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: make an argument. Hey, Commanders two years removed from an
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: NFC Championship appearance. Jaden Daniels coming back off the injury.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia still, you know, a downer. Very, very talented roster,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: but now 2-5 versus 1-4-1. Yeah, not a good matchup there.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you pick that game in the preseason,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: you assume you're going to get Jaden Daniels versus Jalen. Hurts,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: and you're going to get a hurt Jaden Daniels versus
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: no Jalen Hurts.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: Well, and you point differential. You've got minus 48 for
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: the Eagles, minus 40 for the Commanders. I mean, not
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: only are they losing games, they're getting beat soundly.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: They are.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: So this is a terrible game. I mean, we're seeing
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: this in the SEC with them picking some of these
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: games early has created some issues maybe with time slots.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: The matchups are the matchups. But when you're the NFL
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: and you build these schedules way in advance, and they do,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, these schedules came out in April or May, right?
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 6: May, yeah.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: So they were building these in January or February. You
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: can't envision injuries. There's no way you can predict injuries.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: I guess on paper you thought, Commander's Eagles midseason could
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: be for the lead of the NFC East, maybe, when
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: you pick this one in the preseason.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: But outside of that, I do want to jump around
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: to a couple of matchups this weekend. I mean, the
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: first one's tomorrow night, Carolina at Green Bay.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: That's a fantastic game.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very, very good matchup. The first game on the
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: schedule for Sunday, Baltimore at Buffalo.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: What's Lamar Jackson's status in that game?
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: I think he is playing.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: If he's playing, that's going to be a problem.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: Buffalo's only a three-point favorite. Tennessee, Cincinnati, Arizona, Dallas, those
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: are terrible. Minnesota at Detroit should be a great game.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: Minnesota probably going to get their first loss. We shall see.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: Cleveland at Pittsburgh. I mean, we're playing for first place
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: now in the AFC North. I mean, yeah, some of
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: these have loss. Like Indianapolis is trading away the team
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: now at Jacksonville. Rams and Chargers are... Early on, I
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: wanted to go to this game really bad because I
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: thought it was going to be a preview of the
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: Kansas City, Denver, though. And then Monday night, you got
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: Chicago at Seattle. So there are some really good games.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Monday night game is what you think the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Sunday night game is.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: Should be, yeah.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's what you think the Sunday night
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: game is. You hit the game where this weekend there
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: is something. When you say something has not happened in
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: the NFL in 32 years, you're like, man, we play
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of NFL football games for something that hasn't
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: happened in 32 years. You touched on the game. If
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: they win Sunday, and this is pretty remarkable.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: Is this the Vikings?
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: It is not. If they win Sunday, it's the Browns.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: They will have swept Pittsburgh for the first season in
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: 32 years.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: That blows me away. If you would have said this
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: is Cleveland's first time to be in first place in
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: the month of November since then, I could believe that.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: Almost, yeah.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: Just beating Pittsburgh. But I think it shows you how
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: consistently bad Cleveland has been and how consistent Pittsburgh has been.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, when you're in the same division.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: There are ebbs and flows, but to your point, under
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin especially, which was a lot of these 32 years,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: and then the coach before that was Bill Cowher, who
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: was just as consistent as Tomlin, basically. That franchise is
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: very rarely down.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: I think you remember me last week saying Tennessee was
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: going to beat Cleveland outright. I said it a couple
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: of times on the air. Anyway, with all that said.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: I do think I remember you saying that.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: So I had the Titans plus three, so unfortunately I
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: watched a lot of that game. I don't know how
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's winning games.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: Smoke and mirrors. It's weird, like Stefanski, who's now the
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Falcons coach, I think is a pretty good football coach.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: I do too, yeah.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: I just say he's had crap quarterback situations almost his
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: entire coaching career.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: And honestly, I never thought Todd Munkin was a very
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: good coach. You know, outside of the week one loss
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: to the Jags, you know, they lost to the Jets 17-12.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: That's their only other loss. So they've beaten the Ravens.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: They've beaten the Steelers. They've beaten the Panthers. So, I mean,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: the schedule has not been difficult at all. But, I mean,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: you think about what they got coming up. So, at Steelers,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: very winnable game. At Saints, very winnable game. They host
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: the Texans. By this point, the Texans might be completely
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: tapped out. They host the Raiders. They host the Bengals.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: They host the Falcons. They've got New York. They've got
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: the Colts.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: Where's New York? The Giants.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm just saying, like, their schedule is– it's
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: kind of crazy to look at, like, Can you imagine
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: the same season Cleveland, UCLA, and Kentucky could all be
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: in the postseason?
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. Troy says Cleveland is basically Iowa in
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: college football terms.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, very, very good defense. Deshaun Watson has
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: actually been better than I thought he would be.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, I mean, we were talking, if you'll rewind
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: to Deshaun Watson getting booed in the preseason game, right?
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: And Dunaway brought up the idea, and you're like, yeah,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: I think you're on to something here. Dunaway brought up
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: the idea of It's good that they've got two road
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: games because you can start Deshaun Watson and it's not
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: a toxic situation and Deshaun Watson plays like crap and
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: then you come back to Cleveland week three and you
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: unveil Shadur Sanders and the city gets behind him. And
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: it sounded plausible then, right? You're like, yeah, that's probably
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And now Deshaun Watson's actually winning
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: football games.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: You've had Shadoris taking one snap the whole season.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: That's right. You never thought that would be the case.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: No, I thought it would just be a revolving door.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: And I thought they would go three quarterbacks deep.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, it is.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: So good for Todd Monken. Apparently he's a good coach. Well,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: the stuff you hear internally, those guys believe because he's like,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: everybody says how shitty the Browns are.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: F them. I do think that he has got control
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: of that locker room right now. If you're a Cleveland fan,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: although you know there is no chance once you get
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: to a postseason, if you get to a postseason, you
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: can make any noise.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: Still being in the postseason. As a fan of a
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: team that rarely goes to the postseason. I understand that life.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: When you get there, you're probably not going to make noise.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: It's just good to be there, though.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you were predicting who's going to
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: come in last in the AFC North, I mean, you've
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: got a one-game separation. So you've got Cleveland and Pittsburgh
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: both at 5-2, and then you've got Cincinnati and Baltimore
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: at 4-3. I still think Vegas would have Cleveland in
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: the basement.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: I still would go Cleveland.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think most would. I think I would personally
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: go Pittsburgh.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Munkin obviously can coach, though. I mean,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: you've got to give him credit for what he's done
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: there with this franchise. It seemed like they were spiraling
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: in the direction of the Titans and the Dolphins and
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: the Jets and teams like that. Speaking of which, let's
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: unveil our.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: NFL Power Rangers. It's hard to be 5-2 on top
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: of your division and have a minus point differential, which
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: they do.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: What is Minnesota's point differential? It's got to be pretty low.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got it right here. Minnesota. So anyway, Cleveland's
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: is minus 13. Minnesota's plus 51. Oh, wow.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: Better than I would have thought.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's the second best in the NFC behind
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: San Francisco. They just don't give up points. Oh, it's
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: the second best in the NFL.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: In all the NFL? What is Buffalo's?
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: Buffalo is plus 26. Yeah, I mean, they.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Score a lot, but they give up a lot.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the third best is Jacksonville Jaguars, plus 50.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: Wow. All right, NFL power rankings going into week eight. Brooks,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: did Dunaway participate in this from Ireland like he did
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: the SEC power rankings?
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 5: He sent them kind of simultaneously, like back-to-back text.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. So this is not a limited power ranking.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: This reflects everyone's.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 5: No, it's a full one.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: All right, good. I didn't know what we were going
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: to do here. All right, so here we go on
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: the NFL power rankings. We'll go Jim's last since he's
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: not here already. Do you want to start with yours, Lance?
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: Sure. I have got San Francisco at number one. I
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: did this before Seattle went out and got Quentin Nelson.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold's been a little concerning. The run game's been
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 3: a little concerning, but I think they're rounding into shape. Vikings,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: just because they're undefeated. The Bills, I moved them down
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: a little bit. I still like the Bills as the
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: best team in the AFC. And then the Bears finally
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: cracked my top five.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: My top five, I got 49ers, Vikings, Bills, Seahawks. It's
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: weird to have a 4-3 team in there, but the
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are that good. And then the Chiefs. I know
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: they looked awful in Seattle, but I think it's just
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: that Seattle is that good. Now, you dropped the Chiefs
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: out of yours. You had them in last week, if
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: memory serves. Yeah, well, offensively, they got completely shut down.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure about Kansas City. The only reason I
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: had them in is because they were undefeated. And I
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: said that. I'm not buying this Kansas City team. I
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: think Dunaway and I have the same set of teams,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: just in different order. He's got the Bills 1, 49ers 2,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Seahawks 3, Vikings 4, and Chiefs 5.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate him putting the Bills at No. 1,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: which means they will lose to Baltimore this week. So
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: I will grab me some Ravens plus three.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: Bottom five. Your bottom five, Lance.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: This thing has, I mean, for those that thought we
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: would just have Dolphins bottom five all year long.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: No siree.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins have won a game.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Titans are the worst team in football.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: I know the Cardinals, so I've got them at 32.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: I know the Cardinals have two wins. That Rams win
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 3: is just so head-scratching. Now you go back to week
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: one against the Chargers. Doesn't seem like that big of
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: a deal. The Cardinals are really, really bad. The Jets
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: right behind them at 30. Your Dolphins moving all the
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: way up. The fourth worst team to me.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: And I think a lot of it is effort. If
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: you look at rosters, it might be the worst roster
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: in football.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: Might.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a might to it. I think
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: it absolutely is.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: And then this commander's team.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: Got to put them on.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: They are.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Now, I put the Jets still in front of the Dolphins,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: and I know I just saw that game on Sunday.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Many of you did not watch it. Don't blame me.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: I watched every snap. But I still think overall the
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Jets are the better team. The better team doesn't always
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: win on a Sunday. I think the Jets are the
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: better team, but it's tight. The one thing I can't
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: move past is you don't have the 0-6 Chargers in
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: your bottom five. Am I wrong about that? Do I
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: miss that?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: There's a reason I did that.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh. Because they play the Rams this weekend?
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: They're only a six-and-a-half-point favorite. Lance, they're 0-7.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: I can't show disrespect to the opponent. Dunaway's bottom five, Jets, Commanders, Titans, Dolphins, Chargers. Mine, Commanders, Jets, Dolphins, Titans, Chargers.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: You knew there was an angle for me not to
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: put the Chargers in there, right?
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: If they were playing the Seahawks, Seahawks this week.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: If they were playing anybody. Anybody but the Rams. You
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: would have them where? Dead last? I don't know if
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: I'd have them dead last. I mean, if we're just, again,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: looking at point differential, they have the second worst point
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: differential in the NFL at minus 61. The Cardinals do
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: have the worst. You guys don't have the Cardinals on there.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: The Cardinals are terrible.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: They are. I mean, to me, the bottom fight is
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: almost harder to do than the top five.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: No, I would kind of agree with that. I mean,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: there's like eight teams you could put in the top five.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: The bottom five is just a bunch of trash, and
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: how do you sort through trash? Yeah. I mean, what
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: makes the Commanders any better than the Chargers?
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: Nothing, really.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and what makes the Cardinals better than the Bucs?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to go Bucs this week. They
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: just absolutely ran it right down the Panthers' throat on Sunday.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: Such a weird game.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: That was a weird game. It's the NFL, man. So
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: there you go. That's our bottom five and top five
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: NFL power rankings. As Lance said, it starts back tomorrow night.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: With a really good Thursday night game. Now, I just
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned the Panthers had the Bucs run it right down
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: their throat, but this is the NFL. The Panthers bounce back.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: They're taking on the Packers, and I think it'll be
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: a very entertaining game on Amazon Prime.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think it will be, too. You just wonder. Look,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: I think Dave Kanellis, he probably looks at this. The NFL,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: you have some of those weird, like, stinker games that
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: just happen in season. And, you know, for the Panthers...
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: you know, say that they can shake out of that.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: But it should be a really, really good game tomorrow night.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, should be entertaining. Lance ran down some of the
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: other games that are going to be entertaining as well.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: Before we go to break, because when we come back,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: I want to read CBS's quarterback power rankings coming into
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: this week and the college football game. And just to ask,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: if you woke up out of a coma and saw
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: these rankings, what do you think is happening in college football?
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: But before we go to break, Tyler is going to
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: try to put this in perspective for us. Last night,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: now I don't know anything about this, but I know
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: I love a good upset in sports. Last night, Fleetwood
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: City beat Arsenal in some sort of tournament that they
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: have over there.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the EFL Cup. Now it's called the Carabao
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 4: Cup because Carabao is the sponsor of it. but it's
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: basically just a bunch of English soccer teams.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: Anybody that plays over there is in it, so you
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: might be the top level playing the bottom level, which
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: was the case last night.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: Wait, so is this almost like, and I'm just throwing
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: this out randomly because I've never heard of Fleetwood City,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if that's a big deal or not.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: Or is it Fleetwood Town?
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: Fleetwood Town FC.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 4: They are in EFL League 2, which is the fourth
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 4: division in English soccer teams.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: So would this be Samford beating Ohio State in football?
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: Hang on. Tyler's going to do this. This was an upset.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: Fleetwood City on a penalty kick, or Fleetwood Town, excuse me,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: on a penalty kick beats Arsenal. They're not just in
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: the fourth level, Tyler. They were 18th in the standings
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: in the fourth level. They're not the best team in
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: the fourth level. In fact, they were 17 better. They
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: have a $ 3 million payroll. Arsenal's payroll is $ 1.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: 5 billion.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: So it's a $ 3 million payroll versus a $ 1. 5 billion payroll.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: So this might be more like miles against Ohio State?
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: You tell me, Tyler.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 4: To put it in baseball terms for you, this would
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 4: be like returning World Series champion Dodgers losing in extra
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 4: innings to a single-A or high-A team that regularly gets whipped.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Like the worst single-A or high-A team.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like a middling single-A or high-A team winning in
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: extra innings against the Dodgers.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: Now, but in the– like we've seen these exhibition games where–
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: I remember going to one at the old Rickwood Field
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: where the Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals came and played UAB.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: And I think UAB might have beaten them that day.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: You've seen like these college teams are– Yeah, yeah. So
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: you're talking about with the Dodgers like going out there
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: and rolling like– you know, frontline, you know, Scooble or Glassnow?
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 3: What are their top guys in really trying to win
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: the game?
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yes.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: The Carolina League, I will just go Carolina League. They're
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: single A, the worst team this year.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: Is it the Durham Bulls?
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: The Kannapolis Cannonballers.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: That's a lot.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, here we go. The Delmarva Shorebirds, our friends
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: in Delmarva. We've got gear for them.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: I almost wore that hat today.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: That would have been wild. The Delmarva Shorebirds, for those
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: that don't know, that's part of the... Outside of Ocean City.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: Outside of Ocean City. And we met some of the
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: people when we went to Ocean City. And that was
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: when the old boy, he hasn't really panned out yet,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: has he? Jackson Holiday was playing for him, right?
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: This with the Orioles now.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, Jackson Holiday has had moments, no doubt.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he hasn't been the star that they thought
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: he was going to be at that point, I don't think.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: Not consistent.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 4: Weren't you given a card of his?
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they let us pull a card and Lance pulled
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday. But Delmarva is Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. It's
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: a little area where all those states are very close together.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: So they call that region Delmarva. They've got the Shorebirds,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: the single A, the Carolina League franchise for the Orioles,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: who finished 45 and 87, 35 and a half games
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: back of the Fredericksburg Nationals. So this would be like
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers going to because this game was at Fleetwood Town.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: This is the Dodgers going to Delmarva and losing in
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: a game that mattered, right? I mean, this game mattered?
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a tournament match.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: I want to say it was round of 16.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: Some are calling it the biggest upset in the history
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: of sports. Now, not most impactful, just like if you
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: take quality of team versus quality of team.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: Tyler, you know I was all in on the World Cup.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: Not a shit on your soccer, but soccer seems a
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: sport if you're going to have a massive upset.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: Well, the games are so low scoring.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: That would be it.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: The games are so low scoring that if you get
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: a lucky break and go up 1-0, listen to me,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: I got a daughter playing soccer now and I won't
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: say 1-0 anymore, I'll say 1-0.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think that the three biggest upset potential
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: sports would be soccer, baseball, and a heavyweight fight.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: Anything where the scoring is going to be low.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: Then a heavyweight fight just because you literally have a
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: puncher's chance.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just one punch is all it does. So kind
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: of crazy last night. The thing that jumped out at
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: me was the roster value that Fleetwood Town has a
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: $ 3 million roster with. How many guys are on that roster?
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: Probably 20-ish?
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: 18 to 20, probably.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: 18 to 20. That's $ 3 million.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: Those guys are making no money.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: We're not talking reserve players.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 3: So at the same time, they might not give a
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: rat's ass.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: And Arsenal's a $ 1. 5 billion roster. I mean, a bigger,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: more valuable roster than even the Dodgers have. $ 1. 5 billion.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: It's insane.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: So that was one of the biggest upsets in the
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: history of sports, they say, last night. Troy says, ask Brock,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: is it Maynard Day versus the Rams?
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: I'd feel good about the Rams in that spot. Yeah,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: take the Rams, lay the points. The NFL, you can't
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: do any of these analogies.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: No, you can't. That's crazy, though. All right, one more segment.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: We'll talk some quarterback power rankings and what would your
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: life be like if you woke up from a coma
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: and saw these power rankings. What would you think would happen?
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: That is coming up on the next round on Sporting State,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: presented by Hard Rock Bet.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: This year, the biggest sportsbook party's getting even bigger.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, there's J-Boy.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: Whether you just getting here or you been here, you're

• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: That's Crockett, C-R-O-C-K-E-T-T, coffee.com. I don't want to speak too soon,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: but I think I might have finally... I got to
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: check my phone here real quick.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: I've only received two phone calls today. One I was expecting,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: and then one from my daughter that is away at college.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: So I think I might have finally, last night... I
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: don't know if you answer the spam calls that want
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: to give you a $ 59, 000 loan, which is a strangely
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: specific amount.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: And for the record, because I'm on a lot of
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: our official documents when we started this company, so I
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: get a lot of people reaching out, a lot of
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: these bots about business loans. But riding to Gatlinburg with
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: you a couple of weeks ago and back, I've never
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: seen somebody get the amount of spam calls you get.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: But I have started answering them and opting out. Like
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: I tried blocking numbers, but that doesn't work because they
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: just go to another number. So I've started answering and
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: opting out.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: And that works?
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: I haven't received one all day. I was going to
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: say I don't want to speak too soon, but it
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: is 1048 central time. And I've received two phone calls
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: today again. So give me that process.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: How do you do it?
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you got to have some patience, Lance. You got
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: to answer.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: I've worked on my patience.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. This will be a great test of it.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: You've got to answer. And sometimes you get in the
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: little phone tree like press one if you desire this loan.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: Press two if you would like to speak about another loan.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: And you've got to wait and find out what number
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: you have to press to opt out. It's normally nine.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: Press nine to opt out. Or you just have to
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: get on the phone and talk to somebody. So last night,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: my daughter's wrapping up soccer practice. I get one of
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: these calls and I'd gotten like six calls from Melissa
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: that wants to give me $ 59, 000. And I decide I'm
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: going to answer it. So I answer it, and I
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: have to talk to somebody. And the gentleman who, based
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: on the sound of his voice, was not in the
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: United States, tells me, starts his spiel as a, hey,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: you can save it. Take me off your list. Don't
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: ever call me again. And he literally says, but sir,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: I called to offer you this loan.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 3: I was like, I don't want the loan.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to ever call me again.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: Just take me on. I'm doing you a favor.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 4: What if I have another loan you might be interested in?
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe more.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: Was it a real person or a bot?
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: No, it was a real person. It seemed to be.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 3: I can't tell sometimes now. I know.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: No, that happened to me the other day. I had to,
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: who was I calling? Oh, I had to.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: You're probably getting a tee time, right?
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: No, no, it's all automatic. They know me. They know
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: the tee time I want.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: What time are you playing today?
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: 1.50. I had to call to take care of one
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: of the accounts I have. And I have an actual
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: conversation with a woman. And at the end of the conversation,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: it goes, OK, I'll now hand you over to a
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: live agent. And I'm like, holy crap, I was talking
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: to a robot the whole time. It was pretty dang good.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: Like it never jumped out at me that this was
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: not a real human. And I think we're pretty aware
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: of those things by now, right?
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: And I think that's going to be one of the problems.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: Like going back to people getting emotionally involved with some
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 3: of these AIs, when they have a voice attached to it.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know how many people are having conversations
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 3: like that. But I know a lot of people were
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 3: having conversations with the robot, just basically texting back and forth.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: But now you can have these phone conversations, right?
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it was like it was literally the robot said,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: good afternoon, Mr.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: Brown.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 5: This is Melissa.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: I see that you need help with what I was
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: looking for. I was like, yeah, absolutely. I was having
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: an issue logging into this thing. All right, let me
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: take one look at it real quick. If you don't
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: mind me placing you on a brief hold. I was like, no,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: not at all. Okay, thank you.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: Puts me on hold.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's very nice. Comes back, says, Mr. Brown,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: I think we're to the bottom of your issue. Do
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: you mind if I hand you over to a live
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: agent now? I was like, holy crap.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: That was a robot.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: And even when the live agent came on, I was like, hey,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: I want to commend your guy's AI. I had no
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: idea that was a robot I was talking to. She
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: just laughed. She goes, well, sir, you're with me now.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: She didn't want to address it at all. You're talking
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: to me now, sir. How can I help you? I
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: was like, man, that was pretty dang good.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: She was an AI, too.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably so. I was probably just going from one
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: robot to another one, didn't I? If you had to,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: I know this is on the fly. If you went
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: with your college quarterback power rankings, how strongly would you
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: feel say about your top three or so?
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: I think I would feel pretty strong about my top three.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: All right. Where would you go?
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: I would go at the moment. Of course, as soon
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: as I say that. Mensa's got to be on there.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. Look what I have done. This is so freaky.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe I mentioned it. I can't believe I
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: said a word. Now freaking Melissa is calling me, wanting
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: to give me, I guarantee this is about a loan.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 5: I'll help you review what you qualify for, go over
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 5: the available rates, and make sure you understand everything before deciding.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore. I can't do it. I
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: cannot believe I brought this up. I know I had
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: a call all day. And I bring it up one
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: time and freaking Melissa.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 3: This is what happens. You speak it into existence.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: Melissa's calling me to give me $ 72, 389 now.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: My number is somehow, like, I guess was the old
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 4: number of somebody else. Because now I've got a bunch
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 4: of people from Baltimore hitting me up, asking me for
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: beats and calling me Juice. That's been happening for months.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 3: They call you Juice.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Juice?
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 5: Juice.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: Do you have a local area code? Is your area
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: code a Baltimore area code?
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: So Juice used to have a 205 number rolling up
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: in Baltimore and people were buying beats and what from him?
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 4: Just beats as far as I know.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that could have been code word for something. I
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: need some beats, Juice.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 4: Got a lot of people asking me to come through
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: to the studio.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 3: So one, I would go Mensa. I still think two,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 3: coming off his worst completion percentage as an FBS starter,
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: I would go Trinidad Chambliss. And I think three, I
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: would take Drew Mustermaker. Okay.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: CBS Sports, David Carr, I don't think the former quarterback,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: does his college football power ratings. And I just looked
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: at them today just randomly. And I'm like, man, if
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: I woke up from a coma and we've played, what now,
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: eight weeks of college football? Yep. And this is my
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: power rankings? I would wonder what happened to my sport.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: Number one, Darian Minson. Not at all surprised with that one.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: That's who you just put number one. Number two, and
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised you didn't go with this guy
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: because I know you like him so much.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: Huh? Go ahead. Who is it?
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: Brayden Atkinson.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, he leads the FBS right now in
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: touchdown passes. It's such a weird, like, trajectory for him.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 3: He was Mercer. He was the Jerry Rice Player of
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 3: the Year at Mercer. So that is for whatever level
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: that is. That's the equivalent to a Heisman, I think.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: This guy was at Mercer? He was at Mercer last year.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that's where he was.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so then he follows Shep to Corvallis.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: And, like, he is absolutely tearing it up with Jesse Legree.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: But I wouldn't, again, I couldn't go there right now.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: They've got him number two. Number three, they've got Gio
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: Lopez at Wake Forest.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 3: Gio Lopez has been really good. I mean, he's fifth
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: nationally in total yards per game, over 314 yards per game.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: It's just so weird because when you watch Gio Lopez
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: last year in Chapel Hill, he was a bad quarterback.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 3: And now he is just so efficient under Jake Dickard.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of that is the relationship with Dickard.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: Number four is Drew Mastemaker. Number five is CJ Carr.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't be surprised by that. Number six is... is
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss. Number seven is Connor Wegman at Houston. I
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: think we knew he was good. I don't know if
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: we knew he was that good.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: No, he's playing way above what we thought he would play,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 3: but three of mine were in the top six, so
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: that's not bad.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: Number eight is Bear Bachmeier. It's not traditional quarterback play,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: but he gets the job done.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost Tim Tebow-lite.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very light.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very light. But you know what I'm saying. Very discount.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: The style that he plays. He's a big physical quarterback.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you trust him on a two-minute drive,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 3: like completing passes? I don't know about that. But overall,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: for 60 minutes, he's a really good quarterback.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: Number nine is Keelan Russell. You still think he's top
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: ten in your power rankings?
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: I would have Keelan in there. It's been uneven, though.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And number ten, again, if I woke up from
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: my coma, I would be like, what in the world?
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: Kenny Minchie.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 3: Well, Kenny Menchie has done nothing but win, and he
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 3: doesn't turn the football over.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Sam Leavitt not in there. I think you would have
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: Sam Leavitt in your top ten.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: Not yet.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: Not yet?
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: Trending that direction, though, based on the last couple of weeks.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: But that is a pretty wild top ten that I
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: could go into basically knocking on the door of November.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: Oregon State's quarterback, transferred from Mercer, is number two. Wake
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: Forest quarterback, transfer from South Alabama, transfer from North Carolina
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: is number three in the power rankings. And you really
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: don't argue with these guys.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: Well, think about it. So go back, Trinidad Chambliss, Ferris State.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, just go through where these guys came from.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: Mensah, Tulane.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tulane.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: Brayton Atkinson, Mercer. Geo Lopez, South Alabama. Drew Mestemaker, North Texas.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: CJ Carr, born and bred at Notre Dame, right? Trinidad Chambliss,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: Ferris State, Connor Wegman.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 3: Connor Wegman was A & M.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 3: Go back five of the top six from programs that
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: just aren't on the radar at all when it comes.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: To quarterback play. You mean where they're playing now or
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: where they came from?
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 3: No, where they came from.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: So you don't think Mercer, South Alabama, North Texas, and
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: Ferris State are on the radar screens?
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 3: Those are incredible stories. They really are.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: They're all happening at the same time.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what's going on. And so like
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: as much as we hate the transfer portal, people are
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: being identified now that probably never would have been identified
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: before because it's so competitive.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: Right. That's crazy. No, you're absolutely right. And there are
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: going to be guys, I guess, like this every year.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what you would do is you would give a
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 3: guy a scholarship, and you would try to develop that
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 3: guy at your program. And if he transferred out, then
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: you'd be looking for another guy. But you're not going
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 3: to do deep dives looking at quarterbacks at Ferris State.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 3: You're not going to do deep dives at Mercer.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely not. That's why having a GM is going
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: to become hugely important there. Smuff is telling me you
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: can screen the unknown callers on iPhone. I already do that.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: but it lets them through still. It does make them
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: explain why they're calling. That's how I know how much
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: of the loan I'm being offered because it pops up
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: on my screen when they say it, that I'm being
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: offered a $ 59, 000 loan from Melissa. Also, our Stu's in
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: the chat wants me to know that it is hardrock.bet
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: forward slash Clay, not backslash Clay.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 4: I always thought that one was a backslash because like
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 4: if you start at the top.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: R Stews says you're an idiot for thinking that. It
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: is HardRock.bet. Shall I just say slash Clay? Clay?
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 4: I would just say slash because that's the one most
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 4: people will know.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: I do think most people can figure that out once
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: you get there.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's where you bet $ 5 to get up
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: to $ 500 in no sweat bets. HardRock.bet slash Clay. Forward
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: or back, your choice.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 3: Just slash.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 4: It is indeed a forward slash.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: I think most people say backslash. I don't know why
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: we got that driven into our heads. It really bothers
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: our stews.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: Really bothers them.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: Apparently. So if we could make that correction in the
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: future for everyone. Uh, that way you can bet $ 5
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: and get up to $ 500 and no sweat beds. So, uh,
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: oh yeah. Our Stu says he never called me an
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: idiot for saying it. He just wants me to get
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: it right. And apparently Dunaway doesn't get it right either.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: Um, all right.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: So that's how you get there.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: We've got two more hours of the show coming up.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: Some of you are hanging around for, uh, on a
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: sport and state. For Clay and Buck, enjoy that. You
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: can get what we're doing for the next two hours
• 1:49:25
