  Speaker 1: Little things always kind of crack me up. I'm my
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: wife calls me a simpleton. I think it fits like
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the little bin. Yeah, it always cracks me up every time. Wow,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we're already halfway through. I will say I think things
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: have gone pretty well. I mean, we got a couple
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: lines open at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But I did not tap into the bush light. So
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that's great news. That means I'll have two more beers
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: left for this weekend. But but we're not out of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the woods yet. We're not out of the woods yet.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: We could completely tank this thing over the next one
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hour and fifty eight minutes. Lorena, thank you for sharing
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: these picks of the tour, stop, the meet and greet,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: whatever way you guys want to frame it. Because there's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: now so many people of the mal Or militia that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I can put a face to the voice of Mike
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Leprechaun. I think what we got a and I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: found the Facebook page too, so I think I have
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a blind Scott siding in there and never seen blind Scott.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: There's Coop, so yeah, it's a good y.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: De Vito is in there, Alf the alien Opiner is
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: in there.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Where's alf.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I'll send you a picture of him right now.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Cool, cool, cool lot of ladies. Man. Look at Ben
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and ladies man, all these, all these beautiful women that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: are there. I never expected that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: So did you see my sister too. I'm gonna send
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you a picture of my sister too.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Oh to listen, don't don't do this to me. I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: am I'm dirty old man.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: You I am a dirty old man.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I just I feel like that there needs to be
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: some honesty here somewhere. It's just listen. It's three oh
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: two in the morning. I don't think I can get
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in trouble for anything, but it is warning you guys
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: about it, just warning you. If you're just getting up
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on the East coast and you went to bed early,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I say you didn't miss anything too crazy. But the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Cavaliers did win in overtime one seventeen, one thirteen. There
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: one went away from a trip to the Eastern Conference finals.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: You've got this is, this is I guess where you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: look at it from an NBA perspective, and you just
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: kind of gotta you gotta shake your head and take it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But you gotta day off. I mean, I don't I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: know you can't shift schedules around, But as it stands
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: right now, there's no NBA games tonight, and I don't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: think there's any on Saturday either, So unless you get
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a game seven for both of these series, you might
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: not have another NBA game after Tomorrow night until what
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: next Tuesday. So it gives teams time to rest, it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: gives them time to get ready, but it's just bad luck.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I guess. The Dodgers shut out the Giants Ford Zip Show.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Hey Otani out standing on the mound tonight, seven innings,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: scattering four hits, striking out Aid walking to he did
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: not hit tay Oscar Hernandez hit in his place, went
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: two for four with an RBI and a run scored.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And I think that pretty much catches you up. You know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we final hour, the start of the final hour, We're
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: going to go through all the schedule leaks, and I've been,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, working throughout the show tonight, different Twitter feeds,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: just kind of patching some things together to see what
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: fits and what does and who's who looks like they're
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in and excuse what looks like it's legit and what
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is something from I don't know, Dove Climb in our
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: NFL r mrs. It's going to fool my Sunday Night
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: host Arnie Spanier. That's not real and it's fake, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he's gonna think it's real. But we've been trying to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: patch it all together. One thing we know for certain.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: One thing we know for certain is the overseas games
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that are going to be played. We'll get to that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: list in a bit curious selection of Cincinnati and the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Bengals to be the choice for the first ever game
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in Spain. And we know that the NFL season is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: going to open on a Wednesday night with a Super
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Bowl rematch Minneso Minnesota. Look at me, Seattle versus New England.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So you got that going for you. But we'll patch
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it all together coming up to kick off the final hour,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: all right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: seven seven nine ninety six six three sixth night. I've
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: been working to get to this all night long. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it's Lane Kiffin. Now. I'm sure Brian talked about this
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Monday Night and Tuesday Night. It's one of the biggest
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: stories in sports. But Lane Kiffin has decided, I think,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to be the ultimate heel in sports. I don't think
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: he can be happy unless people are mad at him.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Do you guys, Cooper, you a wrestling guy. Do you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: ever watch WWE or WCW or anything.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: It was my religion from like five years old until
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: like thirteenth.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Oh perfect, that's probably because that was probably during wait,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you're fairly young. Was that during the attitude era?
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, w Lorena. I'm sure you probably couldn't care
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: less about wrestling talk. But in wrestling there's heels, right,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and a heel is a bad guy, and there are
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: people that make a living off being the bad guy,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: right you. I'll do my best bad guy impersonation. Let's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: say we are live from Austin, Texas, and I walk
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: down to the ring in Austin, Texas and I get
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in the ring, and the first thing I would do
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: is this town stinks, you know, right Austin. The only
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: thing worse than being here is being in Baghdad.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Booh?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You know something like that, right every boa And it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: like I hear you guys like I don't know, you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: eat pizza with a fork, you know, just all these
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: things that you would say, and you'd be the bad guy, right.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: The Rock did that before he made his big you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Babyface turned the Rock with the Nation.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and the Nation. We're bad guys. Boy. We
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: had some angles back in that day that are very questioned.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: The nation of domination.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: We are the nation of the domination. Dlo Brown, the Rock,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Ron Simmons, Fruk was his name. It was awesome. I mean,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: bad guy. Every good guy needs a bad guy. Now,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: this is really old school, but the von Erics probably
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have been as great as von Erics were if
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for the fabulous Free Birds. You need a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: bad guy. The Rock, right, he was the good guy.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: He needed a bad guy. The nWo were the bad guys.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: They w C W need Rick Flair was the bad guy.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Every you need a bad guy. There has to be someone.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: The great Jim Ross used to say that wears the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: black hat. Oh my gosh, I love talking wrestling, but
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it fits with what Lane Kiffin appears to be doing now.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Vanity Fair is a magazine that I'm not gonna lie
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to you. I didn't know still existed, and to be
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: honest with you, I don't care. I'm not a big
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: magazine reader. I'm not somebody that is going to get
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: too caught up in first of all, I have everything
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: on my phone. But Lane Kiffin made a comment about
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the concerns over racism and the I guess you could
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: say demographic of Oxford, Mississippi versus Baton Rouge, Louisiana, And
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the basic point was he never has to sell anyone
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: on Baton Rouge versus Ole, miss Baton Rouge versus Oxford,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Mississippi based on the history, based on the racial tone
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of said city. Now, everybody in my world of college
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: sports has opinion on this, and I'm gonna share a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: couple of them here real quick, if you guys don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: mind me playing a little audio, because you can't really
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: say the things that Lane Kiffin said and people don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: have an opinion on it. You can't come out and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: basically call an entire city that I mean, houses every
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: major college sport you could possibly have. You can't question
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: their racial makeup, the diversity of the city and not
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: have some sort of backlash. Now again, let's let's back
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: up even a little bit more. Ole miss fans would
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: have I mean, I'm being a little bit overly dramatic here,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: but they would have died for Lane Kiffin. I mean,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that's that was their guy because he he took ole
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Miss to another level. And to his credit, man, he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: does it with the bad guy swagger, right. He doesn't
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: care who you are and what you think. He's gonna
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: sit up there and look at the mic. He's gonna smile,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna say something that absolutely demeans the other team.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I saw it. I had to live it. They beat Oklahoma.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And what did he do after they beat Oklahoma? He
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: let us know about it. Why because that's Lane Kiffin.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: That's Lane Kiffin. And I mean to give you the quote.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He told Vanity Fair that top recruits would say, hey, coach,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we really like you, but my grandparents aren't letting me
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: move to Oxford, Mississippi. That doesn't come up when you
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: say baton rouge. Louisiana. Parents were sitting here this week
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and saying the campus diversity feels so great. It feels
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: like there is no segregation, and we want that for
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: our kid because that's the real world now. He later
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: He later said in that same magazine article, quote, I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: just hope my comments come across as respectful to ole Miss.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: There are some things that I'm saying that are factual.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: They're not shots all right, and now listen, I'm making
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: sure I give all the proper context here, or at
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: least trying my damness to do so. Ole Miss is
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: not necessarily known for being I mean, they had to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: basically beg them to stop using the Confederate Confederate flag.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I mean they literally had to stop begged them to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: stop using Colonel reb before they became the Shark. So
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: there is some history there, but that's you know, that's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: not something that Lane Kiffin ever brought up whenever he
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: was coaching at ole Miss. Right and the dude had success,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Like I said, Ole Miss fans would have gone to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the Mattresses for man. They went thirty two and six
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in his final three seasons at Old Miss, and they
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: made the playoffs this past year. Now he left them
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to go coach ole Miss, all right, go coach LSU.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But he made the playoffs. So there's I think that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: gives all the context you need. Lane Kiffin makes the comments,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: talks about the lack of diversity at Ole Miss, talks
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: about out basically how that's not the case at LSU,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and has always kind of been the guy that can't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: help but be the bad guy. I mean, and I
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: also I also think there's certain people in life that
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: can't really stop when they're happy. They always think there's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: another level of happiness or eliteness or greatness or whatever
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: term you want to use. Lane Kiffen has been given
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: more opportunities than just about any coach that's been fired,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and it's happened a couple of times. I mean, the dude.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: The dude was fired from the Raiders. Now, in fairness,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: he was given that job too early. Al Davis really
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: wanted Steve Sarkjian and Sark didn't leave lsu usc excuse me,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and Sart actually suggested Lane Kiffen to al Davis. He
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: hired al Davis or he hired Lane Kiffen and it
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: was a disaster. He got fired with an overhead projector
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: we all know the story. But he he resurfaced at
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Tennessee and he was damn good at Tennessee. Man. He
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: won at Tennessee, and he didn't just win. He got
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: fans excited about Tennessee football again by going seven and six.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: All right, now we're going back to two thousand and nine,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: but seven and six, I mean, think about that. Today.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Tennessee fans were out of their mind fired up at
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: seven and six. Why because they had gone five and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: seven the year before and they were like, we suck.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: We're never going to get to that era that we
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: need to be. And Lane Kiffin won. But what did
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: he do? He couldn't accept that success, He couldn't accept
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the accolades. He had to leave for his dream job USC.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: What happened at USC? The man got fired left on
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the tarmac, right, isn't that the great stories? After four
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: rather underwhelming seasons that had one win of ten or more,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: goes to the coaching rehab clinic. Nick Saban resurrects his career,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: goes to Florida Atlantic, Boom earns the Ole Miss job.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The rest is history, but he can't stay happy. Six
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: years at Old Miss, three straight ten or more wins seasons,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a trip to the playoffs. But what does he do?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Booms gotta go to LSU and on his way out
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the door lights a Molotov cocktail and takes it to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: everything Ole Miss. Here's some of the reaction. I'm a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: big fan of Mike Griffith. Mike covers the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: This about a minute long kind of laying into lanekiffing
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: about Hey, what exactly is the goal here? What are
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you doing whenever you're trying to lay out that there
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: is a racial divide at the school you just allowed.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: I thought it was reckless and I thought it was irresponsible.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Think that if there's any sort of reprimand you know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I would think it in line to come with within blank.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: The Kitten's a free agent, he's a hired gun.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: He's a narcissist.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, I don't think that he necessarily thinks
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: about the consequences before he speaks. There's an entertainment value
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: to that, there's an excitement to that. You never know
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: what Lane's going to say. We're all going to show
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: up for his press conference, and at some point, if
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: he is held accountable, maybe he'll change his ways. But
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: the man's fifty years old and it seems to be
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: working out pretty well for him, you know, making fourteen
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: million dollars a year and now in command at one
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: of the highest funded programs in the nation. You know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Lane can have it his way. Lane can do it
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: his way, and until there's real consequences, he doesn't have
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: any motivation to change. This is what works for him.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: And again, I'm not giving him a pass. I'm not
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: saying it's right. I'm just saying that's how it is.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: How many other coaches have had as many chances as
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin, and yet you know, the opportunities keep coming.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: All I got to say, if he had better win
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: at LSU, he had better win, and he had better
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: win fast.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Now again, I don't know. I don't know if there
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: needs to be consequences for this outside of people with
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: LSU using it as a thing if he doesn't win. Right,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: if you win, I don't know if you guys have
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: notice this or not. If you win, you can say
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: or do whatever you want. If Mike Rabel hadn't gone
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl last year, if Bo Nicks hadn't
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: got hurt, Coop and Mike Rabel didn't go to the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: super Bowl and they lost in the AFC Championship Game,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: or let's let's make it even more dramatic, if the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Patriots would have gone four and thirteen, then this would
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: have been a lot more damning this offseason for New
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: England and Patriot fans. You know it, you know it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is kind of a laughing stock in some
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: people's eyes, because he's got a girlfriend. That's you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: less more than what is it? More than half his age?
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And if he had won at North Carolina or gone
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs, ain't no one saying a thing? Why
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Because you can get away with a hell of a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: lot more when you win. When you lose and you
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: talk your trash and you say things like Lane Kiffin did,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that's whenever everyone starts having a problem with it. To
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: play you are. Pete Golding, to his credit, is the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: new head coach at Ole Miss. We've had a bevy
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: of press conferences over the last few days in college football.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Here's what Pete Golding had to say about Lane's comments.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And I think more than anything else, when you're Pete Golding,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you look at it and you say, okay, it's it's Lane.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I know what to expect from him. I know what
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get me so I can get this to work.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Here's what Golding said yesterday or is it not gonna work? Oh,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna work for me. Basically, he's like, hey, listen,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: he loves attention. Look at his Twitter analytics. Put them
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in ball terms. Ole Miss would have had the Natty
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: buy now. And I think that's true if you look
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: at it from the perspective of, Hey, I'm not going
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to take this. I'm not going to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: deal with this. I'm not going to get caught up
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: in it. Let's not let's not really get into the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: fight when it comes to Lane Tiffin. One more here
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to get to. This is from Cole
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Cubi visited hold on Cole. Cole is a well known
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: college football guru sideline guy for ESPN. Here's what he
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: had to say about the overall need for Lane Kip
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and to stir the pot.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: I do think some of the things that were brought
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: up by Lane maybe a little bit unnecessary, not something
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: that even if you thought it at the time, really
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: needs to be revisited publicly. Uh, we know the past
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: in Oxford, Mississippi. We know the past with the state
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: of Mississippi, and I feel like some of the things
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: that were brought up would come a long way since then.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: It's not something that really seems to continue to still
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: be an issue. But Lane felt like he needed to
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: bring it up and he needed to discuss it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And one it's going to get people talking about him too.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Maybe it feels like it's going to give him advantages
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: he's recruiting based on where he is now at LSU.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Would you imagine that that was any part of why
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: he would want to do this, That he's trying to
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: maybe up the advantages for himself with where he currently is.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably possible. I mean, I wouldn't put it past anybody.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: These guys think about everything when it comes to how
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: their program is perceived and how their program stacks up.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I think I honestly, all right, I'm not here to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: defend Lane Kiffin on this. I don't think it was
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: as calculated as people have brought up. I actually am
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: getting to the whole point of this conversation tonight. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: actually think that when it comes down to it, lane
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Kiffin's apology I take it as pretty genuine. I don't
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: think that he was trying to find any way to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: undermine ole Miss. I think he was in the midst
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: of a long conversation. You get comfortable around someone and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you say things that maybe you forget you're on the record.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I uh Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield, about five or six
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: years ago, there was a conversation where he was sitting
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: with a sports Illustrated article that was a writer that
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: was doing a big piece and a Daniel Jones drafted
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and he made a comment about it, and the guy
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: wrote about it. Well, I mean, Maker was just speaking
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: as any fan would. But whenever it comes out of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: your mouth and it's attributed to you, it's a completely
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: different world. And I kind of feel like that Lane
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: maybe got a little too comfortable. Here was his apology.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I really apologize if anyone at Ole Miss or in
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Mississippi was offended by that. In a four hour interview,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I was asked a lot of questions on a lot
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of things, and Ole miss has been wonderful to me
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and my family. I was asked questions about the difference
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in recruiting, and I said a narrative that we battled
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: there from some out of state black parents and grandparents
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: not wanting their kids to move to Mississippi. That's a
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: narrative that coaches have been fighting forever. It wasn't calculated
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: by bringing it up. I think I buy it. I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: think I buy it, But it all goes full circle
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to one thing, and one thing only. You always need
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a bad guy. Someone always has to be the bad guy.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: It's a big Mall show brought to you in part
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: by our good friends at tire Rack. Tire rack dot
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Com has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: what and where they drive, shipped fast and free, backed
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: by free road Haaster for protection, with convenient installation options
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: like mobile tire Installation. Tire rack dot Com the way
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: tire buying should be. Again, It's an interesting ledge to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: step out on for me because I don't like necessarily
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the bad guy. I was always a fan of the babyfaces.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I was always a fan of the good guys and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the heels. I was a boo, but I always appreciate it,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and I like people that aren't afraid to step up
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and say things that are kind of towing the line,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: or is Rick James or Charlie Murphy would call them
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: habitual line steppers. But in this case, I want to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: take Lane Kiffineta's word, but I will add what Mike
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Griffith said is one hundred percent right. He's got to win,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and as long as you win, you can get away
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: with things like that, and people will offend you as
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: soon as you lose. It's a moment where they're like,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: how much we pay in this guy, What does this
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: roster look like? Are we really getting what we expected?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the delicate balance of being the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: bad guy being the ready shoot, aim mindset, because you
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: gotta go win whenever you have that kind of attitude.

  Speaker 1: Spin Malor's show here on Fox Sports Radio. My name
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: is Chris Plank, sitting in on this Thursday morning. Two
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: pros and a cup of joke coming up in about
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half from now. I made a
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: couple of these tweets on the Lane Kiffin saga eight
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: ninety six six three six nine. Now, I don't know if,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: like whenever I would do the weekend overnight shows, like
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the calls were early and then it kind of dissipated late.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's the inverse here, But if you want to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: jump in, there's always time for you. Man, we got
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: tons to get too still, but this is good. This
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: is really good. This is really good stuff from Matt.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Matt writes, you can on X which you can find
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: me at Plank Show, find a us aut Fox Sports Radio.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: You can say what you want about Lane Kiffin calling
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you malaire. Isn't one the Department of Justice who desegregation
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: orders for thirty school districts in the state of Mississippi
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to this day? How was he the heel when the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: school districts around Ole, miss are still segregating and the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: dog is suing DJ is suing them. He told the truth.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, all right, I'm not calling him liar,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I don't you're listening to the wrong show. I'm basically
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: laying out that it's fascinating that none of this comes
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: up when you're there for six years coaching, none of it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: You're there for six years. You weren't there for a season,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you weren't there for you know, a cup of coffee.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You were there for six years. Now. I'm not trying
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to deny anything. I don't know. I don't live in Oxford, Mississippi.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I have no idea, but I mean that place was
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: really good to him, man, really good, and it just
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: it just reeks of wanting to basically dig at a
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: place that did so much for you. And if you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: were to come out like think about this, Jesus. Look again,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get preachy here, and I don't
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: want to make this whole hour about Lane Kiffin, But
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: if this was such a big concern for Lane, imagine
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the advocate he could have become as the head coach
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of Ole Miss. Imagine it for a moment. You're I mean,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: you got Misssippi and Misissippi State going on in the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: state of Mississippi, not much more than that. They don't
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: have professional sports and they got Double A baseball. But
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: it's Misissippi. It's a great state, but it's Ole Miss
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and it's Mississippi State, it's Starkville and it's Oxford. It's
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: two smallest cities in the SEC. If Lane Kiffin would
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: have been this outspoken advocate for how wrong it is
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and how they need to reshape the history and how
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this is what he sees in recruiting, dude, Okay, then
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: we got a different story here. But he he was
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: just armbrom doing his job. And I get it. I'm
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: not saying he should have been, or he had to be,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: or he needed to be. But when you're walking out
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the door, it reeks of trying to find a recruiting advantage.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: It reeks of trying to burn the place down on
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: your way out. Again, not saying that the dude's wrong,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: not saying that the dude is lying, but just basically
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the reality, Matt is that if it was that big
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: of a deal to you say something, don't do it
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: when you're leaving. I mean, you got to win. Now,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to guys, we are in an era think about this
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: in college football when I first started. Boy, I'm really
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: getting in on history tonight, ain't I Coop. We're talking
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: We're talking early two thousands wrestling. We're talking about uh
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: going to dinner with Ben Mallard. I mean blind Scott
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: got me started down that road tonight. I remember when
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I first started in radio, we had a bookie on.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: We had a booky on and I don't even remember
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: what his name was, but it was one of those
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: you need to get your phone number. You got to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you gotta get your pin. You got to write down
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: this phone number. Now you got to call me. Everyone
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: knows those types. And they always had one nine hundred numbers, right,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and you would call those one nine hundred numbers, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: everyone would always joke that they'd give you two separate picks,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: because if one person would call, they'd give you one
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: side of it. The other person would call, they'd give
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you the other side. So then that way they would
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: they could say, oh, we're hitting, because they would always
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: give you both sides. I got called in my boss's office,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: sat down, I'm new, I'm scared, I'm good. I'm going
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to the boss's office, and he sent me down. He's like,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: if you ever talk about gambling on my airwaves again,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I will have you fired and out of here as
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: quick as you can blink. And I'm like, well, it's
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: just it spreads, it's from the game. I tried to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: fit it for like five seconds, and he's like, you
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: can't do it. He's like, I'm not. I'm not here
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to tell you that somewhere else you couldn't do it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: This is in Los Angeles. This isn't Boston, Massachusetts. This
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: is Tulsa, Oklahoma. Buddy, You're in the Bible belt. Like
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you better not be talking about gambling on my airwaves.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And I'll scare to death now if you don't talk
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: about gambling, you don't have a job. If I can't
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: sit here and somewhat intelligently talk about so, I mean,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I'm again. I was listening to Brian no last night,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and when Noh was bringing up that whatd he take
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the bet on the overtime in hockey right if there
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: was going to be a goal after the first overtime,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, Okay, b No is in on this
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: thing right now. But it just shows you how different
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: of a world that we're in. I'm gonna give you
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: just so on that same thought process, we made a
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: joke with an athlete his uh. I mean, I might
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: keep his name out of it just because I think
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: he's an ad now. And I was like, buddy, I'm like,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you make you make a you score twenty points to that,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I'll give you fifty bucks. I'll buy you dinner. It's
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: it was a joke, right. I got a phone call
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: from compliance, like after the show was over, the compliance departments, like,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: we need you to make a very clear statement on
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the air that you're not gonna buy him dinner and
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that it was a joke. And I'm like, well, I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: mean I'm not. I can't. Honestly, I couldn't afford to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: at the time, because I think I was making like
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars a year in radio. But it was
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: just it was it was joke. How funny time, right,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: And I thought my pay sucked. Yeah, dude, let me
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: tell you something. Getting started in radio in the late
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: nineties was not a very lucrative time but for a
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: while too, But I you know, I thought it was
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: a funny joke. But I had to apologize. Now. I mean,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if you could get a guy
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: on campus saying that you'd buy him a fifty dollars dinner.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just we're in a whole different world
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: now in sports, so everything is constantly changing. And constantly evolving,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and any edge you can get, you're gonna try to
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: take it, and so people will view this as Lane
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Kiffin trying to get an edge. And you don't have
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: any patience anymore from these administrators because we're spending so
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: much money on rosters. There's a story out today about
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the amount of money that was raised by schools and
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: it's fascinating. Had a chance I see either, I want
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to get right to you, but this this was wild
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the amount according to I think this was on three
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and I not know three on three because No. Three
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: almost got me on earlier. But according to the research
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of On three, the Texas Longhorns have a reported roster
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: of forty seven million dollars. In college sports, Chris Plink
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: got called into the boss's office essentially right for talking
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: gambling and got a call from compliance for joking about
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a fifty dollars meal. Now you have a roster that's
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: valued at forty seven million dollars. The University of Miami
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: roster forty four million dollars, Ohio State forty three point
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: five mil. That LSU team where Lane Kiffin is now
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the head coach forty two point eight million, dollars. It's crazy.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: You gotta win now, you gotta win now. All right,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: since we've been on this, let's put a rap on
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: it by going to the phones. Chance is in Alabama.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Chance you get the last word on Lane Kiffin. Thanks
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: for checking in here on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on?
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: As a as a college football personality. I love Lane
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: Kiffen as a plate caller. I love Lang Kivin. I'm
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: an Alabama fand it yeah, I lived it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: It's you experience the highs and lows. But the things
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: that come out of his mouth are just ridiculous. I
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: just look it up. Mississippi has the highest population of
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: African Americans. Uh is it that much harder to recruit
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: in Mississippi than Tuscaloosa or Montgomery, Alabama where Auburn plays.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's just stupid to me. It just goes
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: to show how you know, great Nick Saban did you know,
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: reviving his career after what he did this Tennessee. You know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: just he's made so many mistakes throughout his career. What
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: what helped him is what helped you soon, you know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: keeps them going. It's just that charming personality that makes
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: people laugh, and he has onehow will play colorad and
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: I believe he caught you know. Uh, it sucks that
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: he left the tian dry right before the championship game.
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: Another thing he said about Old Miss is that players
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: were begging him to stay and uh play and all
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: the players if you did that, they said, that's not true.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: He's just trying to pump up his own ego. I mean,
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: he's like it's like a love hate relationship with a guy,
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Chance, let me ask you this. Do you think it's
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: gonna work for him at LSU.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: If he gets a quarterback?
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: I mean, I mean all he needs is to strike
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: lightning with a quarterback. I mean that that's all it takes.
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: Just get that one top three college quarterback and you
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: know it's good Louisiana. Louisiana is just so loaded with recruits,
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean. The offensive line and defensive
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: line will steal itself out. I think, yeah, I think
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: he can.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: All right, buddy, thanks for the phone call, and let
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: me I think in life. Boy, I'm really getting preachy here.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: But give me a second. Guys. It's three forty local time, okay,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and this is my time usually where if I'm up,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of in my my my thinking mode, right.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: But you might have one person come to you and say, man, Plank,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I really miss you here or I really wish you
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: were there. Are lorraina man? I well, Loraina would have
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: more than one. I bought Koop and I want to
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: put the band. I miss you there, and you could
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: go and turn. That's like people are telling me they
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: want me back. People are telling me that they want
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: me around. It might be like one or two people.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: So I don't deny. I don't doubt that somebody went
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: to him and said, coach, I don't want you to leave.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't some sort of mass potential exodus like
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you try to lay it out. I don't mean that
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: was the case. And then secondly, I you know, it's funny.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I think I think we need thirty for thirties on
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: things like the Lane Kiffin era at Alabama, because I mean,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: basically Nick Saban told him it's like, dude, you got
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you gotta go. I need a play caller who can focus.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: And even Nick Saban when they talked about when you
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: decide to keep a coordinator or an assistant around and
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: when you decide to move on from them. Nick Saban
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: was like, well, it's the personality and whether or not
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: they can handle it, basically saying Lane Kiffin couldn't handle
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: being the Florida Atlantic coach and being the offensive coordinator
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: in a national championship game. It just kind of shows
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: you got to have a bad guy. Man. Every good
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: guy needs a heal, Every baby face needs a bad
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: guy because if you don't, it's just not as fun.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: And I think Lane Kiffin embraces being the bad guy.
• 34:22

• 35:32
  Speaker 1: of audio in the final hour, and you know, you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: know what we have it really hit. We haven't hit
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: my Lebron conversation. You know, every single sports radio show
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: is contractually obligated to have a Lebron James segment. Now,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Coop and Lorena and I signed that contract many years ago.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: You're right, so we'll talk from Lebron James. I had
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: one more cut. I had lost this earlier. I had
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: one more cut that I wanted to play for you
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: on Lane Kiffin. This is from the w WJOX ninety
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: four point five in Alabama. And Tim Brando, who is
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: one of the preeminive voices, is that the proper way
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to put it. He's a dude that does a lot
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: of college football games and he had quite the take
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: on one Lane Kiffin.
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: This was an example of Lane's narcissism still being so
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: great that he decided, through a publication based in New
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: York that's got liberal tendencies out the wazoo, to utilize
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: it solely for his justification for abandoning a team that
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: was on the precipice of playing for and maybe even
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: winning a national championship, so much so that he decided
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: to not just throw a state under the bus, not
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: just to throw asion of the country that he represents
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: as an SEC coach under the bus, but a school that,
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: without their presence in his career, would not have gotten
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: him where he is today.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, I play that in part because I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: think my favorite thing there, like Coop Lorraina. Do you
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: guys know anything about Vanity Fair's political leanings at all?
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I mean what, No, I'm not even a little bit, not.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Even a little bit. I thought Vanity Fair was a
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: fashion magazine. I didn't know it was a Everything is
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: liberal and left leaning today now, ladies and gentlemen. I
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: don't know if you're aware of it, but that's just
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: how it is, how hilarious.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I think that's how it looks in the media. I
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: don't think that's really how it is.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I'm being facetious. The thing that cracks me up is
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that is that would be the start. Right, So Lane
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Kiffin decides to go to this liberal magazine and let
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: everybody know how much we're rednecks here in Ole, miss
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's I don't I think if you
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: were to go to Lane Kiffin and say, Lane, do
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: you know what Vanity Fair is known for, he'd probably like, Nah,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I'm no clue. I just know they want to do
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: an article on me, and everyone tells me it's a
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: good thing. So I and if anything, if anything, like
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I again, I go back to my original point. He
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: should have been. He should have been somebody that was
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: all over it from the beginning. I want to get
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: your calls, but I want to make sure you guys
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: have plenty of time. So Poppy in San Diego, Steven Manhattan, Klondike,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and Iowa, guys, give me, give me a break for
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour, and I'll give you guys
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the first segment of the Final Hour at eight seven,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: six sixty three sixty nine. Since we are in the
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: college football conversation here, let me hit one more ex submission,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: one more tweet, if you will, from Steve, He writes,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: who do you think will have a better NFL career?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza or Ty Simpson? The hell you talking about? Steve?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Have you not been paying attention? We're back, baby. Have
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: you noticed Coop hasn't said anything about the fear in
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: the AFC West that for Nando Mendoza has created. Right now,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: it is O V E. R. Mahomes is done, he's finished,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: tore his knee up. Now he's fat, so he's out.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Broncos run the AFC West now. Herbert's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: an underachiever that has a crazy head coach. The future
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: is now my friend, though, I will say, I'm fatuated
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: by the approach that the Raiders apparently are taking here,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and I like it. The whole red shirt ear, which
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I you know, you kind of like because you're like good.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I want to ease him in. But then I'm also like, bro,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I'm fifty one, man, I don't know how, I don't
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: know how many years I have left. I need you
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: to be good before I die. All right, let's go,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: But I think it's two quarterbacks and landed in great
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: spots with the Raiders wanting to be patient and with
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: the Rams and no rush to bring along Ty Simpson.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Good question, I think in the end though, it's for
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Nanda Mendoza. Your calls are next on Fox Sports Radio.
