2:27

And look, these are important odds. You may want to go ahead

2:54
your tickets today. Just think about it like this. Think about it as
2:57
you're putting it in a savings account. That's going to if you hit,
3:00
it's going to mature at the rate seven and a half to one, eighteen
3:06
to one, twenty to one, whatever your CD rate is. Can we
3:09
start referring to game tickets as CDs? I think we should. Carson Beck
3:15
and Quinn you were seven and a half to one, Dylan Gabriel ten to
3:19
one. He'll be at Oregon. That'll be actually a really good pick.
3:23
That's a great value pick right there, ten to one, Will Howard Ohio
3:29
State twelve to one, Jalen Milrod twelve to one, Nico e Imalava Did
3:35
I do that right today? At fifteen to one? That could be your
3:38
best value pick? Jackson Arnold Jackson Dart both spelt differently. Eighteen to one,
3:45
So ole miss Fans, you can get in and ready, Teddy can
3:47
play Jackson Dart at eighteen to one. Teddy, It's time. Garrett Neusemyer
3:53
eighteen to one, and Riley Leonard along with others at twenty to one.
3:55
All right, big games over the weekend. What was your biggest takeaway over
3:59
the weekend? Let me just kind of walk you through Saturday and Sunday.
4:02
Saturday, you had both the number one seeds playing forty nine Ers Packers was
4:10
a fun game. I almost sent you some smack talk late in that game,
4:15
and then I thought, let me just let this play out because I
4:17
don't want to give him any fuel. Thankfully I didn't forty nine Ers get
4:20
over on a Packer's team. Hey, is that going to be one of
4:23
the best teams in the NFL next year? Packers very well could be.
4:28
Jordan Love, did you see though the cutups. They put Brett Farve's interception
4:32
next to Jordan Love's interception on Twitter X because Brett threw a pick way back
4:39
when I think we's with Minnesota or somebody, and both of them ran basically
4:43
the same play, the same deal. They both threw the same pick.
4:46
Very weird, very weird. But the Ravens get over on the Texans.
4:50
It looked a little shaky early yesterday, Baker Mayfield decides to say I'm done
4:59
for the year, and so is Tampa Bay and throws it right to the
5:01
other team, right to the other team. And then last night, I
5:10
truly believe they have built Buffalo Stadium on an Indian burial ground or something.
5:15
Weird. It just doesn't keep happening like that boom foot hits the ball,
5:21
gone by the way. So now we're set up with the two matchups this
5:26
weekend. What was your thoughts as you watched all of this this weekend?
5:30
The biggest takeaway The Bills are the Bills. I've told you this the past
5:36
three preseasons, three preseasons in a row. Every off season, oh,
5:43
they're a top four odds to win the Super Bowl, and every year if
5:47
you remember, do you remember what I say to you every year? That's
5:51
ridiculous, that's stupid. The Bills, they keep putting them in there and
5:57
we keep seeing it, and so it's not shocking. It was not shocking
6:02
at all. But this was the Bills in the nineties, same Bills,
6:10
different coach, different characters, different players, same football franchise. Thurman Thomas
6:15
loses his helmet in the Super Bowl. It just something is wrong with this
6:20
program, this organization. I'm telling you, they're cursed. There's a curse
6:25
there. What else do you take away other than Travis Kelsey's brother letting it
6:30
all hang out out of the press box or not the press box, the
6:33
skybox or whatever that luxury suite. What I've taken away from this is I
6:38
have flipped on you. What I have completely flipped on all of this Taylor
6:43
Swift nonsense. You want to keep blaming Taylor Swift, y'all act like this
6:47
is new. December twenty twenty one is when I transferred my hatred, my
6:54
extreme hatred, from the Saints to the Chiefs, and then Swift he pops
7:00
up this year and it's been going on since September. The first game.
7:04
I remember seeing was their game against the Bears. That was at the end
7:08
of September, so it got old before Thanksgiving. Well it's been two months
7:15
since then. This crap's been going on for four months. I'm I'm just
7:19
I'm numb to it now. You know it's gonna happen, So stop talking
7:25
about it. Stop saying, oh, I'm tired of seeing Taylor Swift.
7:29
Therefore I flipped. I'm okay, let's go Chiefs, really continue continue your
7:36
journey. But you know if all right, so are they going to beat
7:40
Baltimore? Yes? Really do you think? I mean, it looks like
7:44
they very well could. Early lines out of Meristar Maristar Casino dot Com forward
7:50
slash Ficksburg at the bet Builder today go to the end zone. Chiefs are
7:55
a three and a half point dog on the road against the Ravens. That
7:59
Lions are seven point dog on the road against the forty nine ers. So
8:03
you get the two o'clock game, and that's just such a fun day.
8:07
Is that one of the funnest days of the year. I think it is.
8:09
If somebody text it in they love this weekend, and I liked it
8:11
too, But I think this coming a weekend, it's almost better than the
8:15
super Bowl because I don't have stupid halftime shows to watch. I don't have
8:22
stupid parties to go to where people show up that don't watch football. I
8:26
don't have stupid girls trying to shush you because they want to watch whoever's on
8:30
the deal at the halftime show. I don't have people in there raiding refrigerator
8:35
and just acting all stupid because it's a super Bowl weekend. To me,
8:39
this is a better weekend than the Super Bowl. Can you agree with that
8:43
or not? Yeah? I think so because it's all about the games.
8:48
Super Bowl is not all about the game. It's not even close to about
8:52
the game. Almost don't even like Super Bowl Sunday. I can't believe I
8:56
just said that. Yeah, you said that last year, and once again,
9:00
I hate that. I hate your words that are coming out of your
9:01
face. It's just too much. I still I'm still interested in seeing commercials.
9:09
Have gotten a horrible but I'm still interested in seeing them. What kind
9:13
of new nonsense are you gonna throw at me? Halftime show? Yeah,
9:18
it's really trashy these years are these days, but I still like to watch
9:24
it. I don't know why, even usher I certainly don't care about Erscher.
9:28
But did you say Usher? Yeah? Not Usher Usher? Yeah,
9:35
because remember the song, yeah, the one with Lil John. No,
9:41
No, was that ludicrous, Yeah, because it was those three and he
9:45
said Erscher got the beats, make your booty go clap? He said Usher,
9:52
And that was on Super Bowl Sunday. No, that was in the
9:56
song. Oh okay, that was in the actual song. My god.
9:58
Yeah, I mean I'll watch the game. I'm gonna obviously partake. It's
10:01
one of those things like, of course I'm gonna partake the football guy.
10:07
But because I'm a football guy, I just the rest of that stuff,
10:09
just like this is a better weekend. They none of that crap here.
10:15
They know the booty clap and then nothing here. I mean, this is
10:18
football. Chiefs, Ravens, Lions, forty nine ers. Can the Lions
10:22
upset to forty nineers? I think that they can. They very well can,
10:26
but I refuse in my heart to acknowledge it. Six one eighty five

13:07
let me go shirtless all game, sucking down beers, and the idiot TV
13:11
people gave him exactly what we hope for by showing him every ten minutes.
13:18
I know, Joe, that's me too, Like, I do not find
13:22
these people remotely entertaining. Jason Kelsey and his gut hanging out hammering beers up
13:30
there with Taylor Swift and all of the mahomes Klan like it's nothing, man,
13:35
what are we doing? What is the NFL doing? Why? And
13:37
Taylor leading this back and forth swaying of the fans, and this is football.
13:43
This is a football nightmare, is what this is. This is a
13:46
football disaster. If we keep on, the Kelsey's and Taylor Swift are gonna
13:52
kill the NFL. Let's got a gator, Matt, Matt, welcome in.
13:58
See you're telling me rip your shirt off like Jason Kelsey last. No,
14:03
no, I know you did. Maybe I need to maybe that like
14:07
will work inversely against him and get them Aliminade. I will do it if
14:11
it will cause Baltimore to win. I'm all in on Baltimore this weekend.
14:15
Or did you throw your did you throw your fiance a little park thing?
14:18
Didn't do that either. Maybe I need to do the whole deal. Oh
14:22
my wife was so damned to Jake. I'm going to go ahead and give
14:26
you my fine. Look, I know we got like eighty eighty four teams
14:30
in the playoff next year. But I'm just going to give you my final
14:33
four. Can we do this? Absolutely? Can we do this. I'm
14:37
putting the Rebels in there, Jake, and I'm riding and I'm dying with
14:41
that train right there. Black Bears will be in the final four next year
14:46
to take Texas. Jake, have you seen what're Oklahoma's do I'm not Oklahoma.
14:50
You see what the Ohio State's doing? Yeah, they're there. I've
14:52
got several things teed up on them today. They're unbelievably doing well. I
14:58
know you, I know, I love, I know you. You're gonna
15:01
be wearing damn Ohio stuff all next year. I have that feeling, Jake,
15:05
they're gonna be pretty good. Let me tell you, I'm putting them
15:09
in the final four. And then I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna surprise
15:13
you. I'm gonna put Utah in there because they've got grown men on their
15:16
team, and I think the quarterbacks coming back for like his twelve season.
15:20
So that's who I've got, ole Miss Who did I say, Ohio State,
15:26
Texas State? Texas? Yes? And then you talked those are my
15:31
final four? Write it down was it January twenty second, yep, book
15:35
it book it. Can I place some sort of futures bet on that.
15:39
I don't know what the odds would be, but yeah, Jake, I
15:41
wanted to. I'm going out to Seven Brew. Clack, Jake, have
15:45
you been to Seven Brew? No? Do you know what I'm talking about?
15:48
I have no idea. It's like a it's it is a coffee place.
15:54
It like it had a baby with Chick fil A. The kids come
15:58
out there with iPad, they're booking, They're zooming people through. It's fantastic.
16:03
Jake. I'm trying to get you some more bids. Thank you to
16:04
try talking in boat Jangles. I mean, Jake, you needed Jake.
16:08
I'm trying to get your other business somebody that just doesn't sell Penny and poor
16:12
see it. Oh, Matt always has the best exits of any caller we
16:21
have. He really does. Hey, what do you think about his final
16:22
four? Ole miss Ohio State Texas and you look, don't laugh at that
16:29
Utah pick. They're playing in the Big twelve. That's the easier path of
16:33
anybody to get to the playoff. Now, obviously then they got to win
16:37
a couple games to get to the final four. What do you think about
16:37
that? I am more intrigued by the seven Brew building with the iPads and
16:45
the kids. Yeah, the building's so neat looking. It's one of those
16:48
prefab things. They bring it in on a truck and just pop it in
16:52
the parking lot. Oh is this that thing over in Flowood? Yeah?
16:55
They get just open one in Pearl, one in Flowood. Yeah, they're
16:59
all really, I say, all over those and not only two I know
17:03
of, but sure there are more. So what do you think about now?
17:07
Joe and Possum Neck is not on your side on this whole deal.
17:10
He is totally against Jason Kelcey and everything that happened yesterday. So you and
17:15
Joe are going to be on opposite sides of the fence on this. I
17:18
don't support the Kelsey's. Well, if you're supporting Taylor Swift, you indirectly,
17:23
dude. They're basically family now unnamed taxor Lions all the way. They
17:32
remind me of the Saints when they were trying to get their first Super Bowl.
17:37
Got to pull for them also, Ole Miss Wayne County. Benito Jones
17:40
play for them, Yes he does. He does a great job. Look
17:42
that Lions team is really good. I think you could shake him up this
17:48
weekend and pull a combination of the four out. As a matter of fact,
17:55
Rophaeller spars on my bookie dad Ag sent over, did you get his
17:57
recent email on this on the odds? So he gave you kind of a
18:03
combination early Super Bowl odds depending on who played who. So, if it's
18:10
the forty nine Ers and the Ravens, these are courtesy of my bookie dot
18:14
Ag, the Niners would be a two point favorite over the Ravens out the
18:18
gate. If it's the forty nine Ers Chiefs, the Niners would be a
18:26
three point favorite. If the Lions play the Ravens, the Ravens would be
18:33
a five and a half point favorite, And if the Lions played the Chiefs
18:34
would be a four and a half point favorite. So it looks like,
18:38
you know, if the forty nine Ers make it, the NFC is going
18:44
to be the favorite. If the Lions make it, the AFC is going
18:47
to be the favorite. Is that fair? I think that's probably fair.
18:48
Why are we are we sleeping on the Lions? They could win this whole
18:52
thing? You realize that, I don't know to think that they will.
18:55
They could but I feel like we're sleeping on them just a little bit.
18:57
All right, Let's see here a couple of the notes. Here, former
19:03
Alabama freshman offensive tackle Caden Proctor announces he is headed to Iowa. So other
19:08
schools are continuing to enjoy the fruits of the Alabama transfer portal labor. The
19:15
University of Florida notice Matt did not mention this at all, is under NCAA
19:19
investigation regarding the recruitment of quarterback Jaden Rashata industry sources, tele Action Sports Network.
19:26
Rashada signed with Florida, if you remember, but was released from his
19:29
letter of intent and currently at Arizona State. This was first reported by m
19:34
Baker TB Times on X We'll get into that story. And San Jose State
19:41
has a new football coach and I can't ever remember how to pronunciate this guy's
19:48
name. It was a guy who was at our Navy Ken, oh coach
19:52
Ken, we'll go there, We'll go coach Ken. So if you care,
19:55
hey, Ohio State. This month in the transfer portal, Lands number
20:00
one quarterback and Julian say And from Alabama six overall, Lands number one running
20:03
back Quinshine jenkins Ole Miss eighth overall and lends the number one safety Caleb Downs
20:08
as well. Ohio State is all in on this year. What's interesting about
20:14
this and we'll get into this for shot a story. Ohio State is all
20:18
in on this and ole Miss is all in on this too. So who's
20:22
gonna have the better year, Ohio State or ole Miss? Or could we
20:23
see an Ohio State Ole Miss national championship game? What about that bee?
20:29
Ohio State ole Miss for the national title? And this was Buffalo's best chance
20:33
to erase a horrible pass against the Chiefs yesterday. Instead, here we go
20:36
again talking about Scott Norwood and this is a courtesy of SI dot com before
20:41
SI dies and the Eagles say they have a press conference on Wednesday with Nick
20:47
Sirianni and Howie Roseman and Ian Rappaport said this is another sign that Sirianni will
20:52
be back in twenty four. Will aj Brown be back that's the question,
20:57
or will he be back on the market. Jason and Flagstaff, what do
21:03
you know about this new Arizona coach? I see the majority of the team
21:07
is coming back. I don't know anything about Brett Brennan that we're gonna be
21:12
one of my playoff picks before Jetfish mister scrooged everyone, I'll get you some
21:18
information on him. It's definitely gonna take them a step back. I mean,
21:21
Arizona would have likely been a co favorite for the Big twelve Championship next
21:26
year with Arizona, Utah, maybe Kansas State. But they lost their quarterback
21:32
to Ohio State and they still could be, but man, I think that
21:37
does set them back just a little bit. And we'll get into that as
21:40
well. One more note here before we go to break, courtesy of Tom
21:42
Pelsero, three time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz is signing with the Lions.
21:48
Ertz will start out on the practice squad and plans to potentially elevate him
21:52
for the NFC Championship game a boost for the final stretch, so he will
21:56
be eligible to play this weekend. And the Bears are working towards a deal
22:02
to hire Sean Walden is their new offensive coordinator. It was looking like last
22:07
week Cliff Kingsbury, but now it's Walden. Walden, forty four, spent
22:11
the last three seasons as Seattle's offensive coordinator and he's expected to land in Chicago.
22:17
Of course, they owned the number one pick in the draft with Kayla
22:19
Williams on the board. Were brought to you by Cowboy Maloney. Seventy years

right, let's talk college and then we'll get to the NFL real quick.
24:08
First, little college news, your thoughts of everything going on at Alabama,
24:14
the exodus of sorts, I mean, Chris Marler Saturday down South put it
24:18
out last week twenty five, twenty six. Guys, if you kind of
24:21
put that in the in the in the baking pan and the two four seven
24:23
or on three to get you a recruiting class like that's like the sixth best
24:27
class this year. Leaving the program. I do like Kaitlyn de Borr,
24:32
but I just feel like this is going to set this program back a little
24:34
bit. Yeah, absolutely, I mean I agree one hundred percent. It's
24:37
not to take away from what Caylen to Boor has done at Frankno State and
24:41
Washington State, very good programs and did a fantastic job got the Huskies to
24:48
the National championship game, but they were under the radar programs. And I
24:52
sort of, you know, equated Alabama to play in coaching in New York
24:56
with the Knicks, the Rangers, the Mets, the Yankees. You know,
25:00
some people can cut it, others can't. And then from the players
25:03
perspective, they're taking away and see approach. Because you have one of the
25:07
best, if not the best head coach and Nick Daban that won seven national
25:11
championships, one at LSU, six at Bama, they can only regress,
25:17
right, I Mean that's the way you look at it from a statistical analytical
25:21
standpoint, is that you know they were at the pinnacle. They made it
25:23
to the College Football Playoff, they lost. Now with a new head coach,
25:27
there's gonna be growing teams and what if it's a situation like Brian Harrison
25:33
at Auburn where they completely regressed and he was gone out the door in two
25:37
years. So that is the downside for Alabama right now. And when you
25:41
see all miss and link if and recruiting, and you see Brian Kelly,
25:45
that is a tough animal to hit the ground running in just year number one.
25:52
Boyle, how State is really i mean going all in this year.
25:55
You look at what Ryan Day has done, the collective that there is doing,
25:57
Quinn Shawn Jenkins Piking almost head to Ohio State. You got a quarterback
26:00
coming in from Kansas State. I mean, they have really worked this thing.
26:04
Harted I would say way too early. I mean it's Oregon and it's
26:07
Ohio State in the Big Ten, and you could make a case for both
26:10
of those teams nationally. Yeah. Absolutely, Obviously with Dylan Gabriel coming in
26:14
from Oklahoma to Eugene to take the torch from bow Nicks and what Dan Landing
26:19
is built. In terms of an offense and defensive line perspective, they're gonna
26:23
be there. But you're right from a recruiting aspect, Ohio State has lured
26:27
these players, right quin Sewn Jenkins, which is absolutely crazy to think about.
26:32
You know, one of the best SEC players, thousand yard rusher dropped
26:36
off a little bit last year in terms of the you know, Jackson Darton,
26:38
the offense for him to go to Columbus and the Big ten where you
26:42
know has Ryan Day elevated that program? I said it a buddy of mine,
26:48
I get your take the nil. I mean they are pumping the money
26:51
out there in Columbus, the lure Will Howard to lure Caleb Downs and now
26:56
you know quin Shawn Jenkins there. What are they giving me the players from
27:00
and nil perspective? And is Ryan Day the right guy to actually coach this
27:06
downing up? Only time will tell Jessephlissy on your radio Monday edition of the
27:10
programming. Sure to find him on Serius XM channel one fifty nine tonight seven
27:14
to nine. All week long, they'll have you teed up NFL and college
27:17
also sports grad Radio and go for the two dot com. All right,
27:19
NFL, what was your takeaway of the games this weekend? This past weekend?
27:23
You know, you look at Buffalo and I am not joking, want
27:26
to say this, There's got to be some kind of a curse going on
27:29
up there. When you look at what happened yesterday, you go back into
27:32
the nineties. That team just cannot get over the hump. And of course
27:36
you get into the forty nine ers with the comeback against the Packers a lot
27:40
of great football this weekend, and I think we've got two great games on
27:42
Sunday. Yeah, we really do, and I think they're great matchups.
27:47
I mean we'll start with Buffalo. I mean just from a mental aspect,
27:51
right, it's almost like they believe they can't knock off Kansas City. It's
27:55
just something about them that when you know when it's crunch time, the Buffalo
27:59
Bills failed to step up and make plays. I will credit Kansas City and
28:03
Pat Mahomes did a fantastic job. We saw the consistency with Travis Kelce two
28:08
weeks ago. He has seven receptions seventy two yards, hits Peyte Dirt Lake
28:14
yesterday. But the other factor as well, and I said this to my
28:17
partner on air, Jake, was where was Stefan Dicks. I mean,
28:21
you're going down in terms of your house Nordchiard Pork. Stefon Diggs didn't hit
28:25
the end zone in a lot the last seven weeks, didn't have a hundred
28:27
yard performance, dropped the big play. I mean, they try to get
28:32
him the football, but I think it was too little, too late in
28:34
a game like that where you run for one hundred and eighty seven yards on
28:37
the ground. When it's crunch time in the final eight minutes, you have
28:41
to go to your number one, big play playmaker and try to win that
28:45
ball game with your best weapons. That's the downside for the Buffalo Bills.
28:51
I was very impressed with Aaron Jones in that effort a Saturday night against the
28:56
front seven of San Francisco. They deserve to win, but credit for I
29:00
will say this judging yesterday and watching that game play out with Tampa Bay when
29:06
Detroit and the game was on the line. What happened the physicality of the
29:10
offensive line. They were able to run the football with Jamir Gibbs. If
29:12
they have that type of success in the first half, I think they're going
29:17
to be in this ball game from start to finish. In regards to San
29:19
Francisco, especially if Deebo Samuel's not in that offense, that's going to be
29:25
a huge blow to San fran I like Detroit early on, and I like
29:29
the over In terms of the first game, I think that game is going
29:32
to be a shootout with Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Yeah, you just you
29:37
just kind of took my second. My next question. I think I know
29:38
where you're going here. So my question was going to be this, I
29:41
see a path all the way to the end for Kansas City just because it's
29:44
Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes. I think anytime you have Patrick Mahomes and you
29:48
have Andy Reid, you've got a shot. I see a path for Baltimore
29:51
because of the way they're playing, their physicality. Lamar Jackson looks like he's
29:55
in a different gear San Francisco. Same thing Detroit, you know, the
30:00
kind of the party wrecker. Do you see a path for them not only
30:03
to get there, but to win this thing? I do, And and
30:07
the path I think in this particular ballgame, and we have a total of
30:10
fifty and a half, is to run the football more consistently. Yesterday it
30:15
was Jared Goffin. It was the passing attack, right. It wasn't until
30:18
they got the lead that they went back to the ground game with Jamir Gibbs.
30:22
I think in this type of ballgame where you know they have to sustain
30:27
drives, they can't get it, in my opinion, into a shootout with
30:30
Brock Birdy because of how bethal he has been and with Christian McCaffrey in terms
30:36
of that offense, right, you don't want to really maybe go score for
30:38
score because the secondary is suspect. They entered that ballgame against Tampa Bay giving
30:45
up two hundred and fifty eight passing yards per game, and we saw Baker
30:48
throw it for three hundred and two touchdowns. So that is the downside in
30:52
terms of getting into a high scoring affair. I think they need to run
30:56
the football. Get this into a lower scoring game twenty one to seven,
31:00
Dean, get it to the fourth quarter and steal it that way, just
31:03
the way Green Bay did it. And I understand it was a wet track.
31:06
But Detroit is built from an offensive line perspective to play that style of
31:11
football. They did it in the first meeting against Tampa Bay. That's what
31:15
they need to do to win this ball game against San Francisco. Coaching Jim
31:19
Harball second meeting coming up with the Chargers, Is that a done deal?
31:23
I believe so. I mean, do you see a situation where Jim Harbaugh
31:29
comes back to Michigan. I don't. He won the National Championship. He
31:33
can hand over the rains two more and he can go back to the coaching
31:37
In terms of the NFL. But it's the Chargers or bust I believe.
31:41
I mean, if it's not the Chargers, then I don't know what the
31:45
right bit is. He's got to go with a team that has a prominent
31:48
quarterback and that's justin Herbert. He could work with the defense. He's not
31:52
going to go to like Atlanta or a team like Tennessee. In might have
31:56
been Joseph Wlissi on your Radio Money edition of the program, and of course
32:00
find him on x and check him out on serious XM satellite radio. All
32:04
right, So, speaking of Harball, if Harball leaves to the NFL,
32:07
obviously that opens up at Michigan. Is it as simple and I think it
32:10
could be as just promoting from within their offensive coordinator who did a great job
32:15
and the absence of Jim Harball. And also you know, if that job
32:19
comes open, that Michigan window, that thirty day transfer portal window opens.
32:22
But promoting from within may stop some of the bleeding there. Yeah, I
32:25
think that's where they would give it and hand it over to more because of
32:29
what he was able to do in terms of the interim coach coaching games.
32:32
Right, I think about a Maryland, Ohio state he coached up and that
32:37
staff coached that talent up without Jim Harbaugh in two of the team's biggest games
32:40
to get to the national championship. So yeah, I think that that's what
32:45
they do. And again because they want to promote from within, they don't
32:50
want the attrition. I've heard Brian Kelly be mentioned for that job. I
32:53
mean, I just don't see it. I really don't. Juseph Lissy go
32:58
for the two on x and of course I'm on Serious XM channel one fifty

34:28
a good thirty minutes talking NFL and college Let's go to DJ DJ welcome in.
34:32
Hey, thanks Jake. I don't know if you remember, but you
34:36
remember about two years ago I'll call it in and told you nobody was willing
34:40
to spend under the table what Bama did, but once the money was above
34:45
table, I didn't think Bama would be able to keep up. Do you
34:47
remember that conversation? Yep. I'll think some of that is coming into fruition,
34:53
you know. And again, you know, do you remember about four
34:58
or weeks ago I told you I was approached about joining a collective from Ohio
35:02
State, and I don't think that is sustainable either, do you the collectives?
35:09
It could be you know, ten years from now. No, I
35:12
mean asking the general public and even donors for that matter, to continue to
35:16
do this year in and year out. I don't know how sustainable it is.
35:21
I don't know what the runway looks like. I would say that No,
35:24
over a long period of time, say ten years. No, it's
35:28
not. And I guess I'm being specific to Ohio State. We enticed three
35:34
first round grade and I don't think what we're doing this year sustainable and I
35:39
think it sets us up for failure. That's my opinion. Okay, And
35:44
the other thing, and of course some mill of humors here, But you
35:46
remember two weeks ago Lane Kiffen was jutting around like he was the king of
35:52
Nil. Do you a call? Hey? Does that a lot? And
35:55
now he's on Twitter blast in Ohio State for being the king of Ni.
36:00
Did you read that this weekend? Yeah? Lane, he is a He
36:04
has a Twitter troll, there's no doubt about it, and he loves doing
36:06
it. But yeah, two weeks ago he was had that chef puffed out,
36:10
puffed out. Ole Miss was the king of nil and now that the
36:14
real king of NI. And I'll be honest. Now I don't say that
36:17
with my chest out because I don't believe. And I have not yet to
36:22
join a collective because I'm just I'm MO old school and the thing is,
36:27
but I'm not crazy. And the question you and your hosts, you and
36:30
your guest brought up, if Ryan Day's not the guy to win it next
36:35
year, he'll be looking for another job. Thank Jad, thank you,
36:38
JA appreciate it. Six hour one eight nine seven one zero five nine.
36:43
Now, to be fair, if we look at the transfer portal rankings,
36:50
it depends how you quantify this. Louisville on on three dot com the Cardinals
36:55
have the number one transfer portal class, but now their volume is so high,
37:00
twenty one out and twenty four in. Colorado's number two at eighteen out
37:06
and twenty two in. Ole Miss number three at fifteen in seventeen out.
37:10
Ohio State is down to fifteenth twenty out and six in. But Ohio state
37:16
six are really really good, Samway with Texas fourteen out seven in very very
37:21
good. So it's just how do you quantify, you know, missus fifteen.
37:25
Are they better than Ohio State seven? Maybe? I mean, but
37:30
Ohio State maybe has more impact players at key positions as well. Unnamed textra
37:36
on the couple of Millwnions text sign after the Detroit Talk all in on Detroit
37:39
Lions with a sunset photo in a snow and ice background in a backyard said,
37:47
I am free back on the patio. Feels like summer. It's forty
37:52
seven degrees low last night minus eight. The great meltdown has begun. Pever,
37:58
what do you think this person is? Are they in Detroit? I
38:01
mean minus eight? That is cold, Saint Louis, Vick, Jake,
38:07
we finally climbed out of the deep freezer, only to wake up covered by
38:10
a sheet of ice, shutting down everything. I'm rolling with the Lions as
38:15
well, but wouldn't really be upset or surprised if any of the remaining teams
38:19
won out. What's the over under on someone from the Mahomes family melting down
38:23
because the Kelsey's stealing the spotlight? Love you guys, Love you two,
38:27
Vick, I don't know. We haven't heard a whole lot from the Mahomes
38:32
family. How do you think they're bottling all this beef from Jackson Little Jackson
38:38
to Brittany. We don't ever hear about them anymore. I don't think that
38:43
they're probably happy, like internally in their self, they probably are not.
38:47
How do you think they're dealing with this? And will Jackson Mahomes make some
38:52
sort of a screw up over the next two weeks to try to compensate over
38:55
compensate for being underneath the Kelsey Swift umbrella. I think it very well could
39:04
happen. I think it very very well could happen. Hey, should I
39:06
do this for Detroit? And here's what I mean? Should I go all
39:10
in on Detroit? We rode Michigan so hard and we're able to get Michigan
39:16
across the deal for the national title. I feel like that Mojo may still
39:22
have a little left in the bottle because it is Detroit Michigan. Should I
39:27
jump in and help Detroit pull them across the finish line? He's not even
39:34
gonna answer me. I'm thinking about doing it. I think there may be
39:39
a little bit left in the tank. We already got the Wolverines across.
39:45
We could pull the Lions across and then go ahead and give Michigan two championships
39:49
in one year the state of and that they would be kings of football for
39:52
the year. Wouldn't that be fair? Isn't that fair for me to do
39:57
that? I'm really considering this. No, it's not. And in three
40:01
minutes you referred to yourself as we twice because there was I was certainly not
40:07
on board with that. I thought that I was including you on that.
40:10
No, and you and you look at me, a forty nine Ers fan
40:14
since I was ten, and a legitimately asked me this to go in on
40:21
the Lions. Forty nine ers have won their share. I would love it
40:24
if you didn't speak to me the rest of the day. Now, Oh,
40:28
come on to two hours and four minutes we have left. I'm done.
40:37
I'm done with this. Come on. The forty nine ers have won
40:40
their fair share. The Lions it's been since like the fifties. I don't
40:50
know that they can got except Francis gonna win that game though, but I'm
40:52
thinking about pulling for the Lions. I gotta find somebody to cheer for over
40:55
the next two weeks. My team's been out the forty do it. I
41:04
don't not like the forty nine ers. I mean, I like the forty
41:07
nine ers. I respect the organization, I respect the history, I respect
41:13
everything that goes on the lineage, everything with the forty nine ers. I
41:15
don't know. It's just something about the Niners right now that it just I
41:19
don't know. I can't figure it out. All right, Let's see here
41:22
a couple things. Which college football coach will be the next to win his
41:25
first national championship. We'll get into Brad Crawford's predictions on that. You got
41:30
several from landing Day Sarkisian no mort Let's go back to DJ Real Quick,
41:35
DJ, Welcome back Real Quick. I got a side, will be here.
41:38
Jake, bask in your glory. Bask in your glory. Don't run
41:42
it. You know, defoy cannot block the front of San Francisco. And
41:46
the thing is the game was only close this weekend because the weather was horrific.
41:52
Okay, you get a better field with that defensive front, those offensive
41:57
weapons. Don't run it, Okay, everybody one point nine. It's like,
42:00
man, Jake, Jake pretty wise, he's onding or something because you
42:05
pushed that Michigan bandwagon. Don't run it, just telling a spur of the
42:09
moment, you know, what I'm saying this is like, you know you're
42:12
you're everybody's looking up to you right now. Don't run it by a cheesy
42:16
Detroit deb I think you're right, DJ, you and Beef just talks to

to one Seeds will playing obviously Baltimore. It took him a little while to
46:40
get going, then they finally got to roll against Houston. I think Houston's
46:44
future is extremely bright. You look at the forty nine ers on Saturday afternoon.
46:47
Saturday night, the game against Green Bay looked like the Packers had them
46:52
on the ropes there, and then of course San Francisco was able to kind
46:55
of recalibrate and bounce back. Your thoughts on Saturday's action. A couple of
47:00
things to keep in mind. On divisional round, it's where kind of Cinderella
47:07
just goes asleep. You know. The first round is where you have some
47:10
surprises, and then that second round is where kind of the cream usually rises
47:15
to the top and rarely does that Cinderella make noise. Now, there's something
47:22
else that I've noticed that's taken place over the years is if you got to
47:25
buy, usually there's a slow start and you know, just the layoff and
47:30
the rhythm and it, you know, maybe being a little tidy at home
47:35
for whatever. Different teams, in different situations, you know, react differently.
47:42
I think we saw some of that. But what I saw in Baltimore
47:45
was a team that basically dominated the game. They gave up a punt return
47:49
for a touchdown or this game's thirty four to three. You know, Houston
47:53
didn't get inside Baltimore's territory with their offense. So this is a dominant D
48:00
offensive performance, and we got to kind of remind everybody now that it was
48:04
ten to ten because of the slow start offensively. I thought they made some
48:07
really good adjustments Todd Munkin then on offense and just obviously blew them away.
48:14
I thought Green Bay missed a real opportunity. I thought Jordan Love played well
48:17
for the most part. I thought this team played with a lot of emotion.
48:22
I thought San Francisco played very floppy on offense. I didn't think brock
48:29
Perdy played well at all to the end. I thought he was great at
48:32
the end and you know, did what they needed to do. But I
48:37
thought I thought there were three interceptions brought first through that were dropped that were
48:44
bad throats that could have would be talking maybe a different story. I thought
48:47
Green Bay missed an opportunity. Yes, they've got a good future to the
48:51
youngest team in the league, and they've got their future quarterbacks, so it's
48:55
it's great, just like we see Jay Scroud. You mentioned the future is
48:59
good. But I think they're gonna look at that and say, well,
49:01
we missed an opportunity because I thought the Niners could have been they could They
49:07
were right for the taken on Saturday night, the way they were playing,
49:09
and I'm curious to see how they play it this week going forward. But
49:14
those are my thoughts on Saturday, and then you know Sunday, you know,
49:17
listen, I tell you I thought the Lions, the Bucks played them
49:22
well. I thought, I you know, I felt like Detroit much like
49:29
when they played the Rams in the wild card round that you know, okay,
49:32
they they managed to respond to each team, but boy, they had
49:38
a hard time putting them away. And I thought the Bucks were were kept
49:43
alive there. And I thought I thought the brit of the Lions, I
49:45
thought all of that children. I think golfers played well when they need him
49:52
to make a play. But you know that this I got to give the
49:54
Bucks a lot of credit. I didn't give anybody in the NFC South any
49:59
chance of doing any anything. And it just goes to show you get in
50:00
the playoffs, you never know. So the what the the not the literal
50:05
walk part, but the Cinderella Bucks packers, they played pretty well and and
50:12
they didn't get it done, but that was pretty good in pretty good effort.
50:15
Last night. Look, I thought going in that because of Buffalo's injuries
50:22
on defense, that Kansas City was not only better, but appreciably better.
50:29
I just didn't think Buffalo would dip. You know, the whole narrative was
50:32
weather in Buffalo. It's gonna change. Now it's different. And I'm like,
50:37
you're watching this defense. The linebackers were depleted, they had injuries on
50:42
the in the secondary, and I thought the defensive line needed to step up.
50:45
And boy, they didn't do anything. They couldn't get off blocks.
50:49
Kansas City ran it down their throat, and I thought, I mean,
50:52
not for the fumble out out of the end zone before Holdeman, they're there,
50:55
this game is over then and they and it's a decisive win. I
51:00
thought Josh Allen was outstanding. Yeah, there were, like any game,
51:06
I think, a couple of throws that could have been better, and maybe
51:08
a decision it could have been better. But the reality is I thought he
51:14
played outstanding and I thought he gave them a chance to win in a game
51:17
that I didn't give him of the much hope too. So that's my thought
51:22
and I just can't wait. I think we got Baltimore, that's been the
51:24
best team in the AFC probably more well rounded. But with this Kansas City
51:30
offense, I just put a piece up on Landry football dot Com about how
51:32
this offense has gotten so much better. I wouldn't count out Kansas City.
51:37
I'll say this, I like the winner of the AFC. I think those
51:42
the two best teams. I want to see more out of San Francisco and
51:46
I'm gonna need to see more. And I think the weather in Purdy being
51:51
uncomfortable, he's gonna need to play a lot better for them to beat Detroit,
51:55
and more importantly, if they get by Detroit to beat what I think
52:00
is a better AFC team in both options. So that's kind of how I
52:06
saw the weekend's actions and evaluating the teams. But I do like the fact
52:10
that we've got, in my view, the best teams, at least how
52:15
they played out towards the end of the year. Chris Landry talking NFL Weekend.
52:19
Of course, we've got the AFC NFC Championships coming up this weekend,
52:22
Monday edition of the program on Exit Landry Football Landry Football dot Com. Chris,
52:25
do you see a path when you look at Detroit for them to get
52:29
to the Super Bowl? And not only that for them to win this thing,
52:32
they've got a shot. But I think San Francisco is better. I
52:37
just I just think that the San Francisco we saw against Green Bay is not
52:40
going to cut it. That that's not going to beat Detroit probably, But
52:45
I think they're gonna play better. I think that that PERTI will play better.
52:49
You know. I think we'll see the weather forecast is better, but
52:52
well, we'll see how that plays out. I mean, everybody laughs,
52:57
and we talk about, you know, hand size all the time. That's
53:01
why we talk about it when you have Smally's hands and we're talking about a
53:07
late round draft pick and Party's just out over his skis in terms of what
53:12
he's accomplished us for. But you have some of those issues when the ball
53:15
is wet, and I think if it's a if it's a cleaner weather,
53:20
then I think you'll play better. But I didn't think they played their best
53:24
on either side of the ball. They're going to have to play better,
53:28
and I suspect that they will, and I expect them to beat Detroit.
53:31
I think this is kind of where it ends for Detroit. But I'll say
53:36
this, I know what I'm going to get out of Detroit. I know
53:38
that they're good. I know they've got a lower ceiling than San Francisco,
53:43
but I want to see more consistency out of San Francisco. And they're going
53:45
to need to play better than last week if they're going to beat them.
53:49
Chris Andrey talking NFL playoffs. We got to take a time out. We
53:52
come back, we'll carry on little more. NFL may get him a college

55:00
on Your Radio one more segment. Landry Football dot Com is the website,
55:04
and of course Landry Football on X. All Right, Chris, so,
55:07
a couple of questions about some of the teams that exited this past weekend.
55:10
Tampa Bay Baker Mayfield, what do you and I mean, we'll see what
55:15
happens. Is he going to be back? Does he have a long term
55:16
future there can that Can that organization take the next the needed next steps over
55:22
the you know of course of the offseason, two, get further even next
55:25
year. Yeah. I think that they would like to get a deal done
55:30
with them. It needs to make sense. I mean, it's just obvious.
55:35
Sometimes folks said, well just sign them whatever the price has to be,
55:38
right. I think they want to bring him back, but also think
55:42
they need to look for other options into the future too, with a younger
55:45
guy that I think they that they feel more comfortable with than say Kyle Trask,
55:50
who I don't think is the answer to the future. So I think,
55:53
to me, with the quarterback position. You always try to look at
55:57
younger options down the road that you may bring in, but I think bringing
56:00
him back is something that they need to do. And look, I think
56:04
this team proved to be a little bit better as ear went along, but
56:07
I still think they've got some work to do. And I thought they got
56:10
hot at the right time. But I think they need to improve their running
56:14
game. I thought they ran the football better than I thought they would because
56:16
they haven't been a good running team all year long. They ran well against
56:20
Detroit, but I think with improvements, we don't know yet what's going to
56:23
happen in Atlanta, although it's trending in one direction and Saints are making changes,
56:29
and so I think there's always that arms right there. Chris. When
56:32
you look at Buffalo, I don't want to say. I don't like using
56:36
the term peak. Have they peaked? But have they peaked? Well,
56:40
here's what I think. I think you know they've I don't know that I
56:45
would say they peaked. Here's what I believe they need to do. I
56:46
don't like necessarily how the team is constructed. What I mean by that is
56:52
they play in Buffalo, and they got to play in Buffalo. In January
56:55
or in most cases they did. They need to get more physical at that
57:00
line of scrimmage on offense and defense. They need to run the football more
57:04
consistently. Joe Brady really got that running game going better. But they need
57:08
to run the football and defend the run better. That's what they need to
57:13
do better. Josh Allen is the answer. He's one of the elite guys.
57:19
He is not the problem. He's not the reason that they haven't advanced.
57:23
He's actually uploaded him more. I think Kansas City has the best quarterback
57:29
in the league, but also think they have a better team and they're better
57:31
constructed. That defense is legit. Buffalo needs to get more physical. They
57:37
need to get tougher, and I think that's what they need to do,
57:39
and they've got to have some hard discussions on how to do that. And
57:44
you know that, to me is the difference. So I think, maybe,
57:47
to use your phrase, the way they're doing it I think is beyond
57:52
peak. I think it's reached its point where it's not going to get any
57:55
better until they're able to adjust the physicality of this team. You mentioned Joe
58:00
Brady man that was a hot name coming out LSU after Joe Burrow and that
58:05
whole deal in twenty nineteen, And of course there is nothing wrong with being
58:08
an offensive coordinator for an NFL franchise. But what's the word on the around
58:13
the industry on this guy and why he maybe has not gotten an opportunity to
58:16
be a head coach yet. Well, he's a good young coach. He's
58:21
got a lot of publicity in the LSU year and look, he did a
58:27
great job. Let's just call it what it is. You know, Joe
58:30
Burrow was the reason why they won it, and Joe Brady was a part
58:34
of it. That's the He wasn't the full time play caller either, now
58:38
was it was this first involvement in some of the play calling. But the
58:45
reputation is that bright young coach came and learned under under Sean Payton that system
58:52
and is just learning and developing. And I think he's done a really good
58:55
job. But I think a lot of it is people start throwing his name
58:59
out like anybody that needed to put Joe Joe Brady, Joe Brady like,
59:04
you know, he's he's really good, but he ain't bringing Joe Burrow with
59:07
him. So if you're Alabama if you're he's not like he's the magic elixor
59:14
he's really good to answer your question. And I think can be a good
59:16
head coach in the NFL one day, and I think his time will come.
59:22
I don't think it's it's there yet. I think it would make a
59:27
lot of sense for him to, you know that, for them and for
59:31
him to stay in Buffalo with a great quarterback, and I think from there
59:37
he could move on. He could do what Brian day Ball was able to
59:40
do, parlay being the coordinator there with Josh Allen into a head coaching job
59:46
in the NFL. I just don't think he's there yet. Brian Dave Ball
59:49
had a lot more experience when he got his opportunity. Just that Joe's just
59:53
to green at this point. He's good, but then the head coach is
59:57
a different animal. Ball second interview coming up with the Chargers, I don't
1:00:02
I don't want to say is it a done deal? But is it looking
1:00:06
like a dundal Well he said he is going to have a second one with
1:00:10
Atlanta to Yeah, No, I don't think it's a I think with Jim,
1:00:16
you you've always run in the danger of kind of predicting what's going to
1:00:21
happen with him. I don't know that it's a done deal. Do I
1:00:24
expect him to take one of these jobs? I do, but but I
1:00:30
don't know. I don't. I don't think money's going to be a problem,
1:00:36
though the Chargers are the least the spandeffs of the least wealthy. Maybe
1:00:40
I can phrase it that way owners in the NFL, that that's not going
1:00:44
to be a problem. They spend money on players. It's funny with spend
1:00:46
money with him, I believe. So, Yeah, I think it could
1:00:50
be. I think it's a lot of what it is in the NFL.
1:00:52
And you see a lot of these second interviews. Is the first one is
1:00:55
to kind of get to know one another, and the second interview is usually
1:00:59
where you into the details. The devil's in the details, as they say.
1:01:02
And I think, you know how it's going to be structured, how
1:01:05
the organization is going to be structured. And I think, Jim to me,
1:01:10
the Chargers organization is in that job opening is a good one, not
1:01:15
just because of the quarterback, but they let their general manager go, so
1:01:21
it would appear that you could go there and name your own GM. If
1:01:27
you're Jim Harball, So to me it makes a lot of sense. But
1:01:30
until it's done, I you know, we'll have to wait and see.
1:01:34
Chris. Fore we get you out here, I wan't ask your college football
1:01:36
question. And we won't know until these teams the rosters really settle out and
1:01:38
we see what's going on. But it's kind of eye opening what's going on
1:01:42
Ohio State. You look at Ryan Day, they've really kind of given him.
1:01:45
It looks like all the tools he needs to try to make this thing
1:01:49
make a run and everything and get back to you know, the national semi
1:01:52
final, the national championship. When you look at at some of the guys
1:01:54
they brought in and transfer quarterback from Kansas State Quinn Shawn Jenkins from Ole miss
1:02:00
of other players as well, it looks like it's I don't want to say
1:02:04
bang or bust for Ryan David, it looks like that's the way they're playing
1:02:07
this thing. He loves a couple of years in the road of Michigan.
1:02:09
That affects you. Yeah, that's what that is. And it's the folks
1:02:15
don't know. It's the largest alumni base that there is and uh, you
1:02:19
know, in terms of just numbers. I'm not saying that they spend the
1:02:22
most money or whatever, but they are spending it right now. That collective
1:02:25
i'm hearing is way way up there, and they're they're putting a lot of
1:02:29
money into this, and they're they all were putting all our chips in.
1:02:34
I think it is no question, And yeah, I think it is.
1:02:38
They are going to be. They may be. We'll see, they may
1:02:42
be the team to beat. I think they'll be the favorite in the Big
1:02:44
ten. Uh, they'll be the most talented. But like you said,
1:02:47
let's wait and see and make sure all those guys are there and don't leave
1:02:51
and some of these things don't fall apart. But yeah, they got some
1:02:54
fur yer names for Mississippi State fans. It's going to be feeding at quarterback
1:02:59
and who knows, they're all in, no question about it, and that's
1:03:01
uh, we talk about it in the South at you know, the rivalries
1:03:06
and whatnot. I have been around and of course lived in Cleveland when I
1:03:08
worked for the Browns. That's Ohio State. Michigan is as I mean,
1:03:15
it is fierce a rivalry as there is at any level anywhere, anytime,
1:03:22
and losing for you know, a couple of years and having Michigan win the
1:03:25
national championship on top of it. Boy, that just does not sit well
1:03:30
in Columbus. And they're doing everything they can financially to make sure that doesn't
1:03:34
happen again anymore. Yeah, and you stay in that conference. You look
1:03:37
at Oregon what Dan Lanning has done, you know, rightfully. So,
1:03:39
I mean it would it would appear at least today that you know, Michigan
1:03:43
is going to slide a little bit. We'll see, Harbon may not be
1:03:45
there. Penn State, I just don't see them being ready to take that
1:03:49
next step that Oregon could come in being the second best team in that league.
1:03:52
Oh absolutely. I mean, you know, Washington's in the transition,
1:03:58
Yeah, no question about it. And there's nobody else that's ready to kind
1:04:00
of make that jump. And I do think that, you know, I
1:04:03
think the one team that we've got to see if they're gonna make the jump.
1:04:08
I'm not a big fan of Lincoln Lobby, but let's you know,
1:04:10
let's USC's got there's some potential there resource wise to be in that elite group.
1:04:15
But no, I don't expect them to be that D year. We'll
1:04:19
see. Yeah, I'm I think that that Oregon's right there and uh,
1:04:25
you know, probably challenging Ohio State for preseason favorites in the Beign. Chris

1:06:29
think about this? Where's Joe Ben? Yeah? I don't I don't know.
1:06:32
I mean, I've been referring to him as the ogre. He's more
1:06:36
ogreish than predatorish, I think. But I think you're right. Yeah,
1:06:41
I've been referring to him as the ogre for a while. You've done that
1:06:46
for several years, haven't you. Yeah, I've felt that way for a
1:06:54
while. I think you're right. Let's see and White Denzel. Are you
1:06:58

like. He told me not to get sassy. Excellent use of the word
1:07:08
sassy. We don't. That's not a that's not a word that's used very
1:07:14
often. I don't hear sassy often, like the word like you said,
1:07:17
don't either. Don't be sassy now when you were growing up in the eighties,

yards and twenty four touchdowns this past season, So he'll got to Western Kentucky
1:07:57
and throw for five thousand and we'll be told a boy him in the NFL
1:07:59
draft. That's what I'll happened. Also, does Ohio State have the deepest
1:08:03
quarterback room in college football? Will get into that again. I have not
1:08:08
even begun to gotten close to crowning who I think is going to be the
1:08:14
national champion next year. Now, Ohio State did commit at number one.
1:08:16
No, Georgia was one, Ohio State two, and my way too early
1:08:18
top ten, This Ohio State team. It's see, I don't want to
1:08:26
stay in the Big ten next year. I am looking for a way out.
1:08:31
But man, they look pretty good right now do they? I mean,
1:08:36
look, okay, who was it to just committed? Not Will Howard,
1:08:40
but just committed? They got a second quarterback commitment? They did?
1:08:44
They got a let me find it here because I had that oh the kid
1:08:46
from bamaan sayem, yeah, okay, look, this Will Howard character is
1:08:54
pretty good. I don't think my view of Ohio State. Okay, you
1:08:59
know how I felt about Ohio State quarterbacks in the NFL, and C J.
1:09:03
Stroud has busted that wide open this year. He sure did. That
1:09:08
is transferred now to the Ohio State quarterbacks at Ohio State are now taking that
1:09:13
role Will Howard that doesn't do anything for me, And of course we haven't
1:09:17
seen the saying kid, so I don't know, Well, what do you
1:09:20
mean Will Howard doesn't do anything for you? I mean it's a guy that
1:09:26
led Kansas State to nine wins. He threw twenty four touchdowns ten interceptions this
1:09:31
past year, twenty six hundred and forty three yards, completing passes at sixty
1:09:35
one percent completion rate. Rushed for nine touchdowns and three fifty one. I
1:09:41
mean, he's a it's about as nice as Maryland. Can we say he
1:09:45
is a Walmart version of Bo Nicks? Is that fair? Yeah? I'll
1:09:54
go with that. And I'm looking last year twenty twenty two not as productive
1:09:58
on the ground, Okay, But I mean if you put him with that
1:10:01
talent and now you're putting a you know, a dual threat quarterback with that
1:10:05
backfield. I mean, they just picked up Judkins and if he's healthy,
1:10:11
you know what kind of year he could have up there. And you're also
1:10:16
going to pair him with Travon Henderson. I mean, he was a couple
1:10:25
of crumbs under a thousand yards. He rushed for nine twenty six. Can
1:10:29
I give him a thousand and eleven touchdowns? So you've got two thousand yard
1:10:33
backs in the backfield and a mobile quarterback and a good offensive front, a
1:10:41
loaded roster. Now the question becomes Ryan Day. Do you believe in Ryan
1:10:48
Day? Will twenty four be the day of the Buckeye? See what I
1:10:55
did there? Oh? The day the day of the Buckeye? I see?
1:11:02
Well, no, it still won't be because now they've got Organ coming
1:11:08
in. See I way too. I kind of like Organ to win that
1:11:13
conference right now. I like Dan Lanning, Like I think if him and
1:11:19
Ryan Day were in a street fight, I'm taking Dan Lanning. Like the
1:11:24
way Dan Lanning went after Dion Sanders and ripped his head off in the pregame,
1:11:28
Remember that, Like Dan Lanning's He's a guy that had time under Kirby.
1:11:32
He was a dog like Kirby, because you know, Kirby doesn't mind
1:11:35
telling you he's gonna rip your face off either. He was under Sabing.
1:11:39
He's kind of built in that mold. I don't know that Ryan Day.
1:11:45
I don't know that they can handle Organ. Does that make sense? Like
1:11:47
in that conference? No, Like, I don't know that they want that
1:11:50
smoke. No, I don't think so. And look, I still think
1:11:55
it's absolutely I thought it was ridiculous last year when they were talking about firing
1:11:59
him. What is his record? Still? Is he still he only has
1:12:02
eight losses? Right? Or didn't he just tack on a bunch of losses?
1:12:06
I don't remember. No, I thought it was ridiculous that I wouldn't
1:12:10
go so far as to keep talking about fire in the man. But you
1:12:15
just couldn't get past one opponent, which those Michigan, and now I don't
1:12:18
think you can get past one opponent a different opponent. I think it's Oregon.
1:12:24
Now, I'm gonna look at their football schedule for this year. I
1:12:30
mean, O High State's going to be in the playoff, there's no doubt
1:12:32
about it. I think Oregon's going to be in the playoff out of the
1:12:34
Big Ten. All right, so Ohio State this year, they open up
1:12:41
with the akron Zips. Joe Morehead will get throttled. I wonder if Ryan
1:12:49
Day will ask him to size his ring up pre game. Then they play
1:12:55
Western Michigan. They get a buye, They'll take on marsh Od, they'll
1:13:00
cake walk to three and oho Michigan State. It's not even a nice team,
1:13:05
it's a rebuilding team. They'll go to four oh Iowa. They'll go
1:13:12
to four oh October twelfth, game day will be there at Oregon. They're
1:13:19
going to Oddson Stadium, and right now I would say that Oregon has a
1:13:24
shot to run them out of the building. Maybe maybe, but that'll be
1:13:29
the big the big kicker. Then they get a bye week. They played
1:13:31
Nebraska at Penn State. I'm not buying Penn State like you do. Purdue
1:13:40
at Northwestern Indiana and they host Michigan. They got one ballgame because I think
1:13:47
they'll beat Michigan this year. Not Michigan will play them extremely tough at Penn
1:13:54
State. You know, they'll do the whole whiteout thing. But I think
1:13:58
it's I think it's Oregon. You knownversely, if you look at the organ
1:14:00
Ducks in that conference. They open up with Idaho, they play Boise State,
1:14:06
they play at Oregon State, bye week at UCLA, Michigan State.
1:14:12
Both teams will be undefeated when they meet on October twelfth. Then it's at
1:14:15
Purdue, Illinois at Michigan, Maryland at Wisconsin, bye week, Washington at
1:14:24
home. So that's the Ohio State buck out or sue me the Oregon Ducks
1:14:29
schedule. But I do like this Ohio State roster. All jokes aside,
1:14:33
mister d X Kirby smart, Yeah, he's known to say that he likes
1:14:39
that whole eat off the floor thing. And you know, I think George
1:14:43
is probably gonna be number one going into the end of the season. But
1:14:45
I think you're gonna have Oregon, Ohio State, and Texas right there as
1:14:50
well. Is it time to move Alabama back in the pack? How far
1:14:58
back? TI nine? Like ten spots or two the two number ten,
1:15:03
two number ten? How do you act like that's disastrous? We just moved
1:15:10
them way back, right way back, like seven spots. Who would you
1:15:15
take today if they were played all miss Ole Miss Alabama neutral syball game taken
1:15:21
all miss The loss of Saban changes the game entirely, I think. So
1:15:31
right now, it's say Ole miss Hey. We're brought to you by Capital

five three seven seven six. That is the Cowboy Maloney's text line. And
1:17:05
Penn State won't win anything big with James Franklin. James Franklin Mullen coaching,
1:17:13
got to see it right, Penn State has it seems like annually won ten
1:17:16
ball games. They just can't win the big one. And the big one
1:17:19
would even include ballgames. You look at the way old myth, you know,
1:17:24
move them around, do whatever they wanted. Then Ole Miss took them
1:17:28
to the woodshed, so to speak. All right, let's see here,
1:17:30
let me give us some of these pieces. Oh what you got? Uh?
1:17:32
Needs you to refresh your tech screen because I feel like you're missing some
1:17:39
again, that's not for you. I mean, that's not in you.
1:17:42
That's that computer'sacked and dumb. Oh wow, yeah, you're right, there
1:17:45
is Wow. Yeah, it's this text line. It's whatever's going on over
1:17:48
here. Our IT department is like Vanderbilt football? Are they not? Can
1:17:56
we say that even the people that work in this built it is Vanderbilt?
1:18:00
You know. Actually I blame it on this program here. What is this?
1:18:06
We use Google Voice because this one has been trash for the past week.
1:18:11
Two Really, I have to keep refreshing. It'll show at the top
1:18:15
you have two texts, but then you have to refresh the page for those
1:18:18
two to show up. Then when you read the two, you have to
1:18:21
refresh it again for that two at the number two at the top to disappear.
1:18:26
I know, why I'm telling all this inside Google Voice information? But
1:18:30
whatever, it's dumb. Well, we had to rebuild this whole number over
1:18:32
here because the other one was broke. Now we need to rebuild this.
1:18:34
We'll do that, all right. Let's see here, Maurice tell beeB the
1:18:39
Lions and Ravens Lions twenty eight Ravens or Ravens thirty five lines twenty eight.
1:18:43
So he's calling for a Ravens Lions super Bowl. Oh, Maurice, Look,
1:18:47
I know Maurice is a Ravens fan, but why must you go against
1:18:50
me with the Lions. See, I'm like the Lions all year. Though
1:18:56
I've been telling you I love Dan Campbell. He came in, he was
1:18:59
so you just walked me off the Lions an hour ago. I'm not picking
1:19:03
the Lions. I'm just saying. I'm saying I have liked the Lions all
1:19:08
year. I love Dan Campbell. That doesn't mean that now that they play,
1:19:13
I'm picking them against the forty nine ers, of course not. Yeah,
1:19:16
let me go way back. I'm sorry I have missed several of these.
1:19:24
The real unnamed Texter, which day will be dedicated to the Lions.
1:19:29
So now he wants me to do a Lion's Dedication Day similar to Michigan.
1:19:33
Do we need a Lion's Dedication Day for the rest of the week. Well,
1:19:36
it'll only be one day. That text didn't happen. Don't devote any
1:19:40
time to that. Moving on, Tommy Anaheim, let's cheer up everyone from
1:19:45
Michigan, Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons. I mean, might as well,
1:19:49
right, let's just do the whole state for the whole year. Pistons
1:19:53
don't deserve anything, no dexter. Sorry I missed these guys. Detroit can
1:19:59
block the forty nine ers. I think it's going to be a four quarterball
1:20:02
game. Can we get that? I want two good ballgames on Sunday?
1:20:08
Chief Shooting Bull Jake, you cheer for an early spring. Detroit could slide
1:20:14
in there, but not probable. J Jake, I don't understand so many
1:20:21
people's hatred of Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift's dating deal. He plays for the
1:20:27
World Champs in the NFL and she is a tall, sexy, world renowned
1:20:31
artist, and the haters think she isn't entitled to watch her man play.
1:20:35
It sounds like pure jealousy to me. JM. Now, Jam, I'm
1:20:40
not jealous of Travis Kelsey or Taylor Swift. But when I watch my football,
1:20:45
I don't need to see every time Taylor Swift waves a pom pom or
1:20:51
every time she's having a breakdown in a box or I don't need to see
1:20:56
all that show me some random guy eating some nachos in the stands. We
1:21:00
don't need to see that, do we? No? And it sounds like
1:21:03
JM has gone full four swifty? Yeah? Man, what and I look,
1:21:13
I've never found that girl sexy. She's got weird cat eyes, but
1:21:15
I will say she's got catchy, catchy stuff. Well, I've told you
1:21:20
nineteen eighty nine, it's a fantastic pop album. But I'm not gonna go
1:21:26
on board with JM though. Real See, Collins is one hundred percent on
1:21:29
the Lions pulling this dill off, so he is in on the Lions.
1:21:31
Beave, Let's see what else did I miss here? Possle, Nick Joe,
1:21:36
we got that Toddy Jake space Goes just wishes his he wishes he could
1:21:47
be called sassy. Is that what he's saying? Yeah, he calls him
1:21:50
a sissy and he wishes he was he was called sassy instead of that one
1:21:57
letter changes a lot. Oh, it does, it does? And let's
1:22:00
see here CWR. Ohio State is like Texas A and M. They pay
1:22:04
a lot of money, or they pay a lot and look good getting off
1:22:09
the bus, but their coach will choke in the big games. There's some
1:22:12
truth to that. But Ohio State is much further along than in Texas A
1:22:15
and M. Would you agree? They've played in college football championships. Recently
1:22:19
they played in the playoff. They're right there. Texas A and M.
1:22:24
They ain't scared. Nobody Does Mike Elko scare you? Nope? And Northwest
1:22:30
ranking Mike. The question is Bill, I think I made O'Brien. Yeah,
1:22:36
what does that do for you? Ohio State offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien not
1:22:42
a lot? And I think that's gonna catch us up. Six or one
1:22:46
eight eight, five, three seven seven six sec Football quarterback rankings courtesy of
1:22:53
Brad Powers, way too early going into spring pre spring. Check this out.
1:22:58
He's got Brock vandergrid of Kentucky as the last quarterback ranked sixteenth. I
1:23:03
thought Brock Vandergriff was gonna like revive Kentucky even to a different level. Would
1:23:09
you put him last? Well? Who Let's see we thought that Kentucky.
1:23:17
Who was it last year that came in. I've already forgotten that that was.
1:23:21
It's your guy. Yeah, let's go see who my guy was,
1:23:25
see Devin Leary? Leary? Yeah? So and look I thought they were
1:23:30
gonna be good too. So No, that false hope of that Levis was
1:23:36
supposed to be awesome. Then Leary was supposed to come in and in some
1:23:44
circles were saying that they were gonna he was gonna actually take it up a
1:23:47
notch from Levis. And neither time did I see anything just outstanding or earth
1:23:55
shattering. So I won't believe it on this man either. Leonoris Sellars do
1:24:00
you know what? He plays for South Carolina? Taken over for Spencer Rallery.
1:24:05
He threw four passes last year at number fifteen. It's got a big
1:24:10
hold of field there. Taylor Green, Arkansas played at Boise State. He'll
1:24:15
get the nod at number fourteen. Eleven touchdowns, nine picks, four hun
1:24:20
and thirty six yards rushing in nine t ds. Arkansas is going to be
1:24:25
loose. You realize that, right, this whole thing's row, I mean
1:24:29
just spiraling. For Sam Pittman, number thirteen. Peyton Thorne Auburn Freeze needs
1:24:38
upgrade there too. Number twelve Diego Pavilla transfer quarterback New Mexico State for Vanderbilt
1:24:46
at number twelve. He's put some good numbers up out there. Twenty six
1:24:50
touchdowns, nine picks, nine rushing yards nine hundred and twenty eight yards rushing.
1:24:55
He's a dual threat guy, but I don't know that he's going to
1:24:57
elevate Vandy much more than where they're at this aught to make me. I
1:25:01
mean, look, Misssippi State's quarterback is not on the I mean he's on
1:25:04
the back end, but not the buddy in Blake shape in Mississippi State at
1:25:08
number eleven. Jackson Arnold Oklahoma at number ten, and you look at taking
1:25:17
over for now, Dylan Gabriel gone. I don't know how good Oklahoma's going
1:25:21
to be this year. But Jackson Arnold at number ten, Connor Wigman,
1:25:27
Texas A and M number nine, sixteen touchdowns, two interceptions last year his
1:25:32
season was cut short due to injury. And number eight Gator Matts Graham Mertz
1:25:39
at number eight. We'll go through this list in more hour three coming up
1:25:43
next. Indeed, w RK guys pick It's Jackson, Where it time time?

get me out of here, but I may not have long left. I
1:27:34
hope I do. The rolling named Texter. Did y'all notice this? Why
1:27:40
did the Lions snap the ball early on the kneel down? And why did
1:27:45
the Bucks not call a time out here? Yeah? That was mentioned in
1:27:47
a couple of articles I saw. Just call it mismanagement of a time out.
1:27:54
It's the best way to look at it, and look at just it
1:27:56
happens. We see this in football. I mean, you've got ahead coach,
1:28:00
coordinators, staffers, all these guys and girls that are you know,
1:28:03
headsets and all, and then you still lose some stuff like this Jason and
1:28:10
flagstaff. I owe Will Levis an apology as he wasn't that bad for the
1:28:15
Titans. This year. Kentucky just isn't good enough everywhere else for any quarterback
1:28:19
to make much difference in the SEC. It depends on what your expectations of
1:28:23
Kentucky football is. I mean, you talk about a team's gonna win seven,
1:28:26
eight, nine ball games. It's pretty good. It's not bad for
1:28:30
Kentucky. Let's got a granny Granny, Happy Monday, Jay, Happy Monday.
1:28:36
It's about sunset at Monday. You know it's dark and gray and thankfully
1:28:44
not I see so thankfully it. Anyway, Jake, I'm calling an early
1:28:47
sprame. What do you think about that? I'm here for it. I
1:28:51
know that I was gonna say, I know that you helped right the farmer's
1:28:56
armorac so I would assume that maybe that's you've got some insight knowledge on this,
1:29:01
And that's what I was gonna say, Jake. There was a year
1:29:03
about it was about twenty eighteen or twenty sixteen, somewhere around there. We
1:29:11
hear the year where we got a we got a cold snap in January like
1:29:14
we did this year, and then all of a sudden, we hit freezing
1:29:18
that first week of February and we did not have another freezing day the rest
1:29:23
of the that that whole quart or quote spring, none of the rest of
1:29:26
February and none March. So I tracted. But that's only happened one time
1:29:30
since something gardening down here in the Jackson metro was past fifteen to seventeen years.
1:29:36
Hey, I'm here for it that happens. Yeah, I didn't.
1:29:39
I didn't got it when I was living in an apartment when we did keep
1:29:43
roses outside of our apartment in the big potted plants. And that's a different
1:29:47
story for a different days. There was this one time that Granny had some
1:29:53
fun, that is at the old contoes that Granny lived in and ending up
1:29:59
the person he had fun with. He he kind of said he didn't want
1:30:02
to be permanent relations. Well, he went back to his his normal sweetheart
1:30:08
that normal weekend to sweet up to her, and that whole weekend that when
1:30:12
he went to sweet up. Then when he by the time he got back
1:30:15
to the count of guess what all the roads is like big big huge potted
1:30:19
rose plants in front of my kind that we're all gone and it came back
1:30:24
and sold my road. That's not good. No true story. Though you
1:30:29
learn a lesson, you don't you don't anyways. You don't play fire.
1:30:32
You you don't get burned, you know what I mean? And that brings
1:30:35
me to my next boy, Why the heck are you trying to pick another
1:30:38
Michigan team? Just think, just think the automotive days, Jake. We're
1:30:42
building We're building batteries in Marshall County. That the Detroit days over. We
1:30:46
got Marshall County. Now I haven't officially picked Detroit. I just was leaning
1:30:50
like thinking should I? But I'm serious. We got we got the electric
1:30:56
battery system coming in. Forget Detroit. Don't don't be pulling for the You
1:31:00
gotta ask you one other question, Jake, Yeah from Florence, right,
1:31:04
Yes, Granny? What? Yeah? I just I don't know how to
1:31:11
really ask this. Oh no, was there anybody in your family that knew
1:31:15
how to cook fried pork shops? And I'm gonna leave you with that.
1:31:19
Y'all have a good day, absolutely, Granny. I look, I don't
1:31:25
say this a whole lot. Beeve. Did you ever watch a Yellowstone?
1:31:29
No, you never did. I grew up on a miniature Yellowstone, had
1:31:31
a grandmother that could cook pork chops, grandfather that could cook great pork chops.
1:31:35
My mother could, my father could, and guess what I can too.
1:31:40
So we are essentially a port chop fried Port Shop family, an heir
1:31:44
to the fried Port Shop. Is that fair six or one eight eight five
1:31:47
three seven seven six? That is a couple of minnies. Text on Mitchell.
1:31:50
When I hear the word sassy, this woman's voice is all I hear.
1:31:55
Who is this woman? People have to tell me who that is.
1:31:59
Let's see here, aquatic waves. If you were owner of an NFL team
1:32:05
and you had your choice of these quarterbacks, who would you pick to be
1:32:09
your quarterback? Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, CJ. Stroud, and Josh
1:32:16
Allen. Out of those, let's see Burrow, Mahomes, C. J.
1:32:23
Stroud, Josh Allen. I'm still going Patrick Mahomes. I think he
1:32:28
has so much gas left in the tank and to fight despite excuse me,
1:32:32
all of the stuff with the family, and because if I start the NFL
1:32:36
franchise, he's gonna have to do this without Travis Kelsey. It's just gonna
1:32:40
have to happen. Gonna have to happen. Are looking at these other quarterbacks?
1:32:45
Carson Beck gets number one pre spring ranking in the SEC I think that
1:32:48
is fair in the SEC. Courtesy of Brad Powers two four seven sports dot
1:32:53
Com. Quinn you wers Texas at number two, Jackson Dark number three,
1:33:00
and I think that's fair as well. You know, when I look at
1:33:01
my quarterback rankings, I had all this punched out last week. You know,
1:33:05
you look at Beck dart Ewers that are all right there at the top,
1:33:11
and let's see where does he have? Number four Jalen Milroe, And
1:33:16
you can make a case for Jalen Milroe being the best quarterback in the SEC.
1:33:19
It's just how is that going to be? How is he going to
1:33:21
be used in this new system of Kaylen de boor And it looks like he's
1:33:27
going to stick around. You know, there was the fake reports of him
1:33:30
jumping into the transfer portal. Doesn't look it's going to happen. Number five
1:33:34
Brady Cook Missouri. You're talking about a guy who threw twenty one touchdowns at
1:33:39
six interceptions last year, eight touchdowns, rushing three hundred nineteen yards on the
1:33:43
ground, sixty six percent completion percentage. Brady Cook had a really good year
1:33:49
and we'll be the catalyst for Missouri's offense this coming up year. Niko.
1:33:56
I i'malavayam Aleva. Every how you want to say it. He's number a
1:34:01
small sample size, three hundred and fourteen yards, two touchdowns. But the
1:34:05
upside to this young man and everything that you hear, I mean, he
1:34:09
could be the best quarterback in the SEC come next year. But we'll see.
1:34:15
There was no call on that after all of that. What was that?
1:34:20
It's a new it's a first, it's and it's a new low.
1:34:26
That call was simply to ask me a knock knock joke? Yeah? Who
1:34:36
was that? Brandon you? Yes, yes it was. I contemplated saying
1:34:45
to who who it was, because you know, I'm okay with calling people
1:34:48
out, But that was that was so dumb that I really didn't even want
1:34:53
to put that on Brando. But you knew. What does that say about
1:34:56
Brando that you you knew who that was when I said, I figured it
1:35:00
was Branda or space Ghost. There's two good guesses. So what was the
1:35:05
knock knock joke? Or is it even anything you can say on the air?
1:35:09
Oh, yeah, it's it is, but I don't want to repeat
1:35:11
it because it was real dumb Gator Matt Granny just outed himself by saying his
1:35:17
apartment. I knew it. No, Matt, your phone broke up.
1:35:21
That was your motorola. Granny said that when she was referring to him,
1:35:28
she was referring to the person who took the roses. Is that not right,
1:35:30
Beef, your motorola broke up? Matt? Chief shooting bull Granny is

1:37:18
AmeriStar four point thirty Chiefs three and a half point Dog on the Road at
1:37:25
Baltimore Detroit. A seven. That's moved to half a point since we've been
1:37:30
here. Niners now is seven point favorite. It's moved to half a point
1:37:32
since we started the show, totally fifty one. What do you think that's
1:37:40
that's fast moving? It is money coming in on the forty nine ers.
1:37:44
I don't think you want to let this thing trickle out to seven and a
1:37:46
half or eight. But again on the I mean, I think the forty
1:37:49

1:37:55
I'm pulling for four quarterball games? All right? So you said from space?
1:37:58
Where you got all from space? Ghast? Yeah? Well, first
1:38:00
off, on a journey back forty five seconds, you were giving the Ashley
1:38:04
how he read Ashley how he noted bucks fan. Oh, who was the
1:38:08
one that was talking about last week? Screw tom Brady? I told you
1:38:14
before the season. She was all like, yeah, let's get the Brady
1:38:16
era out of here. Would you like to have had him yesterday in a
1:38:20
do over? I think so, I don't know that Tom Brady makes that
1:38:26
boneheaded throw. Baker Mayfield bade no because I really thought, I look at
1:38:31
this when I was watching that game in real in my head, in real
1:38:34
time, I was thinking, now, how would this look if Baker Mayfield
1:38:38
drives him down and wins this ball game and then he throws that pick?
1:38:42
And I was like, Nope, there it is. There, it is,
1:38:45
there's Baker, There's what's he's Bacon? Speaking of Bacon? What was
1:38:50
space? Ghast? Bacon? All right, So the last break or not
1:38:55
even the last break during the segment, you know, Brando called and he
1:38:59
gave he just called to give me a dumb knock knock joke, and you
1:39:02
guessed it was either Brando or Space Ghost without even knowing who it was,
1:39:09
just by the information that they called me with that. So not to be
1:39:15
outdone, they're in the break, space Ghost calls. Space Ghost calls four
1:39:24
minutes ago to say, why doesn't Jake ever give out the phone number anymore?
1:39:32
I says, Dan, I says, why are you so worried about
1:39:35
it? Clearly you have it because I'm talking to you on it. Well,
1:39:40
I'm just saying, but why is it? I mean, it was
1:39:45
like it was a dire concern for him that I do give it out.
1:39:49
Beginning of the show, about twice an hour, I give I give the
1:39:55
number out six or one eight nine seven, one zero five nine. It's
1:39:59
the Malone roofing call line. Why does he he knows the number? He
1:40:01
knows the number. That's why I found it so odd. I'm literally talking
1:40:05
to him. You called here, So why is this concerning you? Classics
1:40:11
Space very weird. Bama fan Roll tied Milroe best quarterback in the league Biever.
1:40:18
Do you think Jaylen Milro is the best quarterback coming back in the SEC?
1:40:25
Yes, you can make a case for it. He shows up his
1:40:28
number one on my way too Early quarterback Rankings, by the way, by
1:40:30

1:40:42
I think you can definitely argue that. Tyler Durden, Atlanta Head Coaching Search

Interviews. Arthur Blank. Tell me about a time Bill Belichick where you faced
1:40:54
adversity. He says, we were losing twenty eight three and a half.
1:40:56
That's very well done, Gator. Matt Jacob bet Granny can hang power clean
1:41:01
more than you. It's probably probably true. And Bulldog Blitz never figured you
1:41:10
for a country boy, I mean, like country from Mississippi. You're a
1:41:13
deer hunter and you call high school football games. That has to be torture.
1:41:16
He says, you give the number all the time. It's not torture
1:41:18
for me. Let me tell you why, because while I do love the
1:41:23
great outdoors and respect everything with the great outdoors, I don't get in the
1:41:29
woods that much anymore because of what and I love working ball more than I
1:41:33
do the outdoors. That makes sense. So I got a chance to go.
1:41:38
I'm gonna go, but if I don't go, it's it's fine.
1:41:40
So it's more about football, Trump's hunting and fishing. For me, it
1:41:45
always has, it always has because I grew up in a very very aggressive,
1:41:53
competitive hunting family, much like a travel baseball team, but for hunting.
1:41:59
And by the time I would fourteen, I was burnt out of it,
1:42:02
and I gravitated more to sports, and I was like, you know,
1:42:08
it's good to get in the woods, but it's much better to be
1:42:10
on a football field or be around a football field. That's why I've always
1:42:14
been Is that bad of me? No, No, not at all.
1:42:17
I'd pick that too. Plus, I don't want you out in the woods
1:42:23
because you know, this kick I've been on it killed me two or three
1:42:27
times. No, I'm trying to help save you. I'm worried about you
1:42:31
about these things. And if you're out in the woods, look, there
1:42:35
could be bears, snakes, tick bites. So I'd rather you not be
1:42:43
out there. Yeah, I mean, I lived in the woods as a
1:42:45
kid and a teenager and been around that my whole life, and just another
1:42:49
man. Love it, still still love it, you know, when I'm
1:42:53
around it, I'm like, man, I need to get out here more.
1:42:55
I gotta do this again more. I mean, it's it is something
1:42:57
that in you guys than girls that do this thing. To be said to
1:43:00
be in the woods, you don't have to kill anything, you don't have
1:43:02
to harvest anything, just to be in the woods. It's very relaxing.
1:43:06
It's self meditating. It really is out there. I'm like, man,
1:43:10
I need to do this more. But then doing ball and games and all
1:43:13
that stuff, it's just like that's where it's kind of like the old dog
1:43:16
that the old hunting dogs is gonna sniff ol bloodhound. That's where my nose
1:43:19
goes. Is that fair? What I blitz? Is nothing wrong with that.
1:43:23
My family is more into football and I'm more into hunting, so it
1:43:26
makes sense. Yeah, see the inverse of that. All right, let's
1:43:29
see here. Where did I want to go next? There was so we
1:43:33
were talking about the Bills. There's an article out here on CBS sports dot
1:43:40
com Bills super Bowl window might be closing. Do you think that is true?
1:43:43
Chris Andrew says no, he said they gotta get more physical. I
1:43:46
would agree with that. Who'd you say to me? Bills? The Bills
1:43:50
Buffalo. That super Bowl window never actually existed. I've no, I willn't.
1:43:57
I never bought it the past three year, and I'm not gonna Yeah,
1:44:01
Bill's super Bowl window might be closing. Breaking down NFL Crazy Division around
1:44:05
thirteen crazy playoffs stats. Before I get into that, what I lets my
1:44:11
wife's family from Florence. You remember the Perry drug Store. Absolutely. Let
1:44:14
me tell you this. Before there was Walgreens, and before there was CBS's,
1:44:17
there was Perry's. Right, Look, my world was simple, grown
1:44:21
up, and I like my world simple kind of now it was Jerry's Catfish
1:44:26
House, and look I am not apologetic about it. Jerry's Catfish House,
1:44:30
Western Sizzler, Perry's drug Store, Jitney Jungle. Now let's get in the
1:44:34
Let's either get in the woods or go play football, or let's go out
1:44:38
on the old dirt roads and we're gonna fight. Pretty simple life, right,
1:44:43
kind of condensed it down to this. You know, told you it's
1:44:45
baby Yellowstone. Somebody's going to the train station by the way at some point,
1:44:48
So pretty simple life. That was an interesting addition that Jitney Jungle at
1:44:55
the end. You don't remember the Jenny Jungles of course I remember Jitney Jungle.
1:45:01
But why why is that such a large part of your life? What
1:45:05
happened at Jenney Jungle? Oh nothing, that's just where you know. That's
1:45:08
like used to shop at Jenney Jungle. That's where you kind of bagged your
1:45:12
groceries at Gjenney Jungle. I worked at Jenney Jungle as a kid, as
1:45:15
a teenager. There was a lot that went on at Genny Jungle. Oh,
1:45:17
okay, that Jitney Jungle. I still find it so strange that the
1:45:24
one in Brandon is now the City Hall. You were blown away by that.
1:45:29
You were talking about that last week. Yeah, that venue is just
1:45:31
so strange, Like Breaking Benjamin is there Friday. I'm gonna go see it.
1:45:35
But I'm intrigued by this, the fact that that's a music venue,
1:45:41
City Hall Live. It's never really made sense to me. I told you
1:45:45
I went several years ago. It's not a bad place to watch a gig.

1:46:00
then too. Did you ever shop at a sunflower. Sunflower. I remember
1:46:04
the sunflower, but I don't think I ever went into one. Yeah,
1:46:10
sunflower was maybe even up until ten years ago, and I haven't been in

All right, let me see here before I get into these stats.
1:47:46
On the NFL this weekend, Bama fan Bama is adding portal players. They
1:47:50
are so they will be in the SEC hunt. They will eleven and one
1:47:56
or twelve and oh, I can't give them that. Georgia will be Georgia
1:48:00
will be the game. If Bama wins, they'll be twelve and oh or
1:48:03
do we really want to say can we do that? I mean, I'm
1:48:06
not saying they can't be twelve and oh, new coach, new staff.
1:48:15
I can't give them that yet. I haven't worked this. I mean,
1:48:19
here's the Even if mam is ten and two, they're still likely in the
1:48:23
playoff. Are they a playoff team? I think so. Do you think
1:48:27
they're a playoff team? Yeah, yes, yes I do. But to
1:48:32
say eleven and one or twelve and oh, when you just lost Nick Saban,
1:48:41
you are basically saying to me, everything will remain exactly the same.
1:48:46
You just lost the greatest college football head coach of all time. That doesn't
1:48:51
matter, It's gonna be the exact same eleven and one. That doesn't even
1:48:58
make sense. That plus the fact that she lost twenty five guys in the
1:49:03
portal that would rank around six as a collective class. Yes, Bama will
1:49:09
put more guys back on the roster, especially after spring. I think there's
1:49:15
a step back. There's a reset of sorts. Now. It may not
1:49:17
be a big reset. And look, if Bama here's the thing, if
1:49:25
Bama goes undefeated next year, this year, twenty twenty four, then that
1:49:29
will tell me that Nick Saban has built this program so much that the program
1:49:32
is greater than he is. Does that makes sense that anybody can come in
1:49:36
and fly the jet and land it perfectly. I don't know that that's the
1:49:41
case. I'll see Bama fence still, most of the players back and chip
1:49:46
on the shoulder on all of it. Well, there can be a show,
1:49:47
I mean, I get it. But look, there's twenty five guys
1:49:49
out that I can't. Let's just see, I don't know how much the
1:49:54
chip on the shoulder really you know what, Now, okay, we have
1:49:59
seen examp. Miami comes to mind when Cocher took over and he came in
1:50:08
and they just went on that stupid winning streak. He was riding the ship
1:50:13
and then what four years in, the wheels just started falling completely off.
1:50:20
So maybe it's maybe it could be. Yeah, you come in there and
1:50:25
it is still kind of status quo, but then you start seeing the cracks
1:50:30
maybe two three years in. Yeah, Jimmy Johnson and I like the fact
1:50:34
you brought up Miami. That's a great comparison in the fact that you're talking
1:50:38
about dynasties because the Miami program coming out of Howard Schnellenberger to Jimmy Johnson was
1:50:45
a machine, more so on the Johnson side than the Schnellenberger Schnellenbergers. Last
1:50:49
year in nineteen eighty three, they went eleven and one, but there was
1:50:53
a reset. Johnson went eight and five, and then he went ten and
1:50:55
two, eleven and one, and down the road we go. Dennis Erickson
1:50:59
took that program ram a handoff in nineteen eighty nine because Johnson was off to
1:51:04
the Dallas Cowboys. Erickson went eleven to one after Johnson won eleven to one,
1:51:09
and then ten and two, twelve and oh eleven to one, then
1:51:12
nine and three, ten and two, and then Butch Davis. But there
1:51:16
wasn't a transfer portal back then. There wasn't a mass exodus of players.
1:51:23
So we'll see. We got our first bet football season bet of the year.
1:51:26
I like this Bama fan. If Bama is ten and two, I'll
1:51:30
bring you and bev lunch. If they go eleven to one, y'all owe
1:51:31
me lunch deal? What do you think, Neil? I like it.
1:51:36
Let's see here Jason and Flagstaff. There's a sunflower in Tishamingo. Still,
1:51:44
how about that possumneck? Joe Jackson Mississippi chain grocery supermarket location? What did
1:51:53
he send this here? Groceyteria dot com. So this is a map of
1:52:01
all I like this, Joe. Look what you got going here? So
1:52:03
b if you can see where all your grocery stores are, I have to
1:52:08
check this out. And aquatic waves? What is realistic expectations for Missippi State
1:52:14
in twenty four to twenty five five to seven game wins or win explosive offense,
1:52:19
be competitive and try to make a bowl. Are you excited about who
1:52:23
they brought in? I think what Missippi State has done is very positive.
1:52:27
I think the coaching change was absolutely needed. I think there's a lot more
1:52:30
excitement around the program. The offense is going to be better. How is
1:52:33
the defense going to be that's a question mark. And look, the offense
1:52:36
has got to get on the same page too. I think five six wins
1:52:42
is that fair for State? I think five to six wins and I don't
1:52:45
think that's an indictment on the program if they go five and seven. I
1:52:48
just think the program's got a long way to go. And you know,
1:52:50
they're doing the best that they can under the conditions that they're in. All
1:52:55
Right, let's see here real quick. Let me go back over here.
1:52:57
Hey, what do you think Tim Tebow would have made in the transfer portal?
1:53:00
Are in transfer port the collective era? Millions? What like Cam Newton
1:53:08
would he have? Would people have been able to even afford that guy?
1:53:13
No? That was basically you know what that was Carl and Caleb Williams.
1:53:19
Before Carl and Caleb Williams a deck What fourteen years later, Cam Newton and
1:53:26
his dad. You see what I'm saying here? Yeah, yeah, that's
1:53:31
true. I was just lost for a minute at Bulldog Blitz saying Jason and
1:53:35
Flagstaff doesn't know what he's talking about Bulldog Blitz. Why did he go after
1:53:43
Jason? They're on the same team. But yeah, you're right, Cam
1:53:48
Newton. I mean that was basically the collective going on, right, The
1:53:53
Church of Newton was the collective. Brian Bosworth, would he have demanded high
1:54:00
price money? Yeah? What about uh oh, here's a good one.
1:54:04
What about Randy Moss? He'd have cleaned up. He would have cleaned up.
1:54:12
And I don't know if the deal. Remember he went from he started
1:54:15
at Florida State, had some offul field issues, ends up at Marshall.
1:54:19
I don't know that he stays at Marshall in this era. Like if Randy
1:54:24
Moss was to playing college football to day at Marshall, would he be at
1:54:26
Marshall like last year to this year? Would he stayed at Marshall? No,
1:54:30
there would be multiple transfers. And this says, what about any Notre
1:54:34
Dame quarterback? I don't know that any no not that name quarterback would have
1:54:39
made a ton of money. And let's see here, that's all on this
1:54:43
list of you know, thinking about guys. Who's another guy that would have
1:54:45
demanded top dollar in college football that didn't play in that era? Your friend
1:54:54
Baker Mayfield. I think you're right. What about Kyler Murray? Oh yeah,
1:55:02
and I'm thinking through here. What about the Florida quarterbacks outside of Tibo
1:55:06
before that Danny warfol those guys, Chris Leak could have made a little money.
1:55:15
I don't think he would have been worth millions when you look at the
1:55:17
transfers, the number of transfers too. Talking about how Moss would have transferred
1:55:21
a few times, I mean rock parties. Little brother just transferred again.
1:55:28
Already where's he at now, let's see he's going to Nevada after he just
1:55:32
committed to San Jose State after two years ago he went to Nebraska from Florida
1:55:41
State. Now, I just got a text here from a friend. It
1:55:44
says Tim Tebow would not have taken an i OW money out of principle?
1:55:47
Can we can we say that? No? I mean, I know,
1:55:51
look, he was a man of he was this. Yeah, he was
1:55:56
a man of integrity, and that's one of the things I liked about him,
1:55:59
But and you think money is a different story for people. People tried
1:56:04
to find dirt on t Bow. Do you remember that they tried, They
1:56:08
couldn't find anything, nothing. And he was clean, to what we know,
1:56:13
squeaky clean playing for Urban Meyer at Florida when they had all of that
1:56:18
jiz and whatever going on over there at Florida, all of the mean,
1:56:23
whatever was going on at Florida, what was the the Hernandez guy, all
1:56:28
of that, every bit of it. And Tim Tebow was squeaky clean.
1:56:31
So maybe he wouldn't have taken money. Maybe he would have done it for
1:56:34
the love of the game. Were brought to you by our friends at Ranco

1:58:05
portal. Bulldog Blitz. Let's see here. He says, flag Staff is
1:58:15
like a pet peeve of mine. He's annoying, one of those guys that
1:58:19
talks like they know when they really just don't know. Good lord, do
1:58:26
we have a new battle here? All of a sudden, I think Bulldog
1:58:29
Blitz just called Jason and Flagstaff to the parking lot that turned sideways. Here's
1:58:34
Jason, Huh, what do I not know about? I'm talking about Sunflower
1:58:38
TISCHAMINIOK County. And he sends us a Facebook link. You just never know
1:58:43
who's gonna who's gonna call each other out on the show, do you it?
1:58:47
Just it's it's wild, all right. Let's see here some stats from
1:58:51
the weekend or questions. Are the Chiefs now the team to beat in the
1:58:55
playoffs? With both top seeds the Ravens and the forty nine ers advancing to
1:58:59
the conference title round, seems kind of crazy to think that the Chiefs may
1:59:02
be the team to beat, But it kind of feels like that's that is
1:59:08
an absolute, you know, that's something that can happen, that could be.
1:59:11
Are the Chiefs the team to beat? Not only have they stepped up
1:59:14
in the playoffs, but they're the defending champs until someone knocks them out?
1:59:17
And this writer says, I certainly wouldn't bet against Patrick Mahomes. Are the
1:59:20
Chiefs the team to beat? Can't refute it. That combined with the Bill's
1:59:30
miserable history of failures last week, that's why, Yeah, my tons of
1:59:35
people were going against Buffalo. I just did. I can't same thing I
1:59:40
told you last week. Basically, when it comes down to it, I'm
1:59:43
not going to bet against Mahomes and I hate oh. I disliked them so
1:59:47
much, the duo of Mahomes and Kelsey Wait, I can't bet against that.
1:59:51
I thought you were all on board. I were one with this,
1:59:54
this whole swift thing. Kelsey thing. I'm not on board, Jake.
2:00:00
You don't remember me telling you after that twenty night I'd see February of twenty
2:00:04
twenty, that's when I first really developed the strongest dislike for Travis Kelsey.
2:00:12
I think he's a total jackass, because that's when he showed up at the
2:00:15
hote I mean, I was gonna say, a hotel press conference, totally
2:00:18
different things, not press conference. I can't even find my words. The
2:00:21
parade. See this is how much this guy gets my goat the parade wearing
2:00:27
his seven thousand dollars mink coat, drunk, obnoxious, butchering the Beastie boys.
2:00:39
I remember this yelling it and then just kept it going like it was
2:00:44
something new. You know how Phil with people over wearing things out, and
2:00:47
that was this guy. No, I've never been on board with this man.
2:00:55
Who's better suited for the future. The Packers are the Texans. Let's
2:01:01
see easier division Texans. So I will say the Texans because of that easier
2:01:10
division. Six hour one eight eight five three seven seven six. That is
2:01:15
the couple of Maloney's text line. We got a few minutes here. He
2:01:17
was going to try to grab a call there's some conspiracy theorist out there that
2:01:21
believe the NFL is still rigged. Something came across the ticker here. This
2:01:26
is all over the old tiki talks and social media platforms already calling for a
2:01:31
San Francisco Ravens Super Bowl. Have you guys seen this in a commercial or
2:01:35
some sort of an infograph. Again, I'm not one that believes the NFL
2:01:40
is rigged, but this is something that is out there on the social media
2:01:45
platforms. Also, let's see here where else was I going to go with
2:01:48
this? As I closed some of this stuff down. College football quarterback transfer
2:01:54
grades. We'll get into this tomorrow. Notre Name gets an a Florida State
2:01:58
a C plus and we'll get into some of these grades as we look at
2:02:03
some of this, like Austin Mack is he going to come in and compete
2:02:10
from Washington to Alabama? What about Baylor? Baylor gets a transfer quarterback from
2:02:15
Toledo. Boise State gets a USC quarterback Malachai Nelson. Can he get Boise
2:02:21
State back to where they're used to living, which has went in the Mountain
2:02:25
West and also a chance to get into the college football Playoff. Malik Murphy
2:02:30
will be the quarterback at Duke from Texas, and I think that's going to
2:02:33
go a long way to helping many die. As in year one at Duke,
2:02:38
dju Angoli lay Oregon State. Also Clemson heads to Florida State. Can
2:02:45
he do what Jordan Travis did this past year, which is have a fantastic
2:02:48
year and keep Florida State relevant? And I think that he can again.
2:02:54
Brock Vandergriff Georgia to Kentucky, Cameron Ward Washington State in word to the University
2:03:00
of Miami. Boy, he has had a heck of a heck of a
2:03:05
track here incarnate word Washington State. Now Miami spuns the NFL Draft, and
2:03:13
now he has an opportunity. We'll get into all of this. We have
2:03:15
something on the phones. We're good. Do you have any final thoughts on
2:03:17
a Monday? Do we have state basketball this week? Like that's gonna interfere
2:03:21
with the show? No? I think their game Wednesday is at seven,
2:03:29
Okay, And I still didn't get into any college basketball still, but we
2:03:32
will tomorrow thanks to Joseph LISSI also Chris Landry. Remember ketchup is King Bacon's.
2:03:38
The delicacy of Loja means goodbye. Well, I'll bletch you and Jason
2:03:41
and flagstaff hugg it out. We will see tomorrow. It will be Tuesday.
2:03:45
Rabber rain Jacket's gonna rain the next few days, late
