- 0:33Speaker 1: mic show. Tonight, we have the Sports with Chane Great
- 0:36Speaker 1: cruise lined up tonight, we have Candy, but we have
- 0:38Speaker 1: Tom Shanahan. Glad to have you on, Tommy, and we
- 0:43Speaker 1: have talking Jame Tony and Marvin Poull the third back
- 0:47Speaker 1: for round two. Glad to have your back, Marvin, so
- 0:50Speaker 1: happy to be here. Without without further away, let's get
- 0:53Speaker 1: this bad boy started.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Here. We're going to talk about Bruce Pearl.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Why because he retired earlier this year and his son
- 1:00Speaker 1: Stephen has taken over as the head coach of the
- 1:02Speaker 1: Auburn Tigers. Bruce Pearl obviously joined CBS Sports and along
- 1:10Speaker 1: with Robbie Hummel as well as college football analysts with
- 1:13Speaker 1: the regular season games. Then he's going to contribute to
- 1:17Speaker 1: studio coverage as well for CBS Sports and TNT Sports.
- 1:20Speaker 1: They have joined coverage of March Madness alongside of Chris Weber,
- 1:25Speaker 1: Jalen Rose, and Jamal Mashburn. So, Candy, what are your
- 1:29Speaker 1: talks about the obviously Ruth Pearl and what he's done,
- 1:33Speaker 1: and he's given his son, Steven Pearl, the reins over
- 1:38Speaker 1: at Auburn.
- 1:40Speaker 3: How cool is it to do something that you love
- 1:44Speaker 3: for as long as you did, to mold your son
- 1:48Speaker 3: and to give him that same love for the game,
- 1:52Speaker 3: and then the place where you are employed allow you
- 1:57Speaker 3: to mold him and him to take over the for you. Like,
- 2:01Speaker 3: that's just so cool, such a great story. I really
- 2:05Speaker 3: like Bruce Pearl. You know, it dates back to the
- 2:11Speaker 3: days that he was in Milwaukee. So but yes, I
- 2:14Speaker 3: think that's that's really.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Cool, Tommy, this is two man.
- 2:20Speaker 4: Yeah, Bruce Burrows als always been very excitable and enthusiastic
- 2:26Speaker 4: and interesting. I haven't seen him do games. Has he's
- 2:29Speaker 4: been doing games yet?
- 2:31Speaker 5: Not?
- 2:31Speaker 6: I think just in studio, just in studio.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't caught him yet, but I'm sure he's
- 2:37Speaker 4: gonna do a good job. I have plenty of good insight.
- 2:41Speaker 4: If Charles Barklay likes him and then he must.
- 2:43Speaker 5: Be good, all right, Tony, Yeah, it's pretty cool. Well,
- 2:51Speaker 5: tom you know he's gonna like him. He let Auburn
- 2:54Speaker 5: to what the final four? I think, So he's gonna
- 2:56Speaker 5: be great in Charles Barklay's book. But yeah, it's cool
- 2:59Speaker 5: that man.
- 3:00Speaker 7: Me.
- 3:00Speaker 5: As a parent, you always want to be able to
- 3:04Speaker 5: lay down a good path for your kids to be successful.
- 3:08Speaker 5: And it's also amazing where your kids grow up looking
- 3:12Speaker 5: up to you and they can follow your footsteps and something.
- 3:15Speaker 7: So that is that is cool.
- 3:16Speaker 5: He does probably need to give him a little give
- 3:20Speaker 5: him some coaching tips, a little bit to help him out.
- 3:22Speaker 5: They started ranked seventeen, now they're unranked. But that's just
- 3:26Speaker 5: a growing pains. He'll figure it out. I think he'll
- 3:28Speaker 5: be fine. But it's pretty dope to be able to
- 3:30Speaker 5: do that.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Marvin.
- 3:35Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I would think this is somewhat strategic.
- 3:39Speaker 8: You know, I think this is probably something he's had
- 3:41Speaker 8: in his mind or had in his heart. Listen, it's
- 3:44Speaker 8: it's normal. Your daddy's a plumber, you're going to be
- 3:46Speaker 8: a plumber. Your daddy's a slim, you're going to be
- 3:49Speaker 8: a sliman. That's how it really goes, you know what
- 3:50Speaker 8: I'm saying. That's really how it goes. There's no doubt
- 3:52Speaker 8: about it that. You know, this kid grew up in
- 3:55Speaker 8: a sports heavy household, basketball heavy household. He's been inspired
- 4:00Speaker 8: by his dad, and you know wants to uh you know,
- 4:03Speaker 8: follow in his footsteps. His dad had a great career
- 4:06Speaker 8: in college. I like Bruce Pearl, you know, I like
- 4:08Speaker 8: Bruce Pearl. I got left for Auburn. My uncle Chuck
- 4:11Speaker 8: played for Auburn, so that's probably my number two team.
- 4:13Speaker 8: It's a far number two for my Trojans. But you know,
- 4:17Speaker 8: Bruce Pearl is a player's coach if his players love him,
- 4:19Speaker 8: and I lover his energy. I think he has the
- 4:22Speaker 8: energy for TV. I think he'd be very entertaining and
- 4:26Speaker 8: you know, knowledgeable, and I think he'll teach people the game,
- 4:30Speaker 8: uh you know, from the booth, from the studio, no doubt,
- 4:32Speaker 8: and I look forward to it.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Katy and I actually met Bruce Purul one time or
- 4:38Speaker 1: the tell a dake a older speedway.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Too bad.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I never got a picture with him pictures obviously we're
- 4:42Speaker 1: so engrossed with the race activities of Bruce Purul is
- 4:44Speaker 1: certainly a nice guy, and he did a will a
- 4:46Speaker 1: job at Auburn. And speaking of rules, Pearl, he takes
- 4:49Speaker 1: it a step further by calling for player contracts and
- 4:51Speaker 1: pro sports because he says everything is completely untd of control.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Candy where are you with that? I think he's on
- 4:56Speaker 2: target with that one. I'm sorry, what was that?
- 5:00Speaker 3: Sorry?
- 5:01Speaker 2: Okay, that's okay.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Bruce Pearl actually calls for player contracts and forth because
- 5:09Speaker 1: everything is so fully out of control.
- 5:12Speaker 3: I think in this new NIL era and with a
- 5:17Speaker 3: transfer portal, if you really want to develop your team
- 5:22Speaker 3: and have success, he wants to wants to know who
- 5:28Speaker 3: he's got. You want to give him a contract. You
- 5:31Speaker 3: know these kids aren't These kids are more than eighteen
- 5:34Speaker 3: years old at this point. They can have a contract
- 5:37Speaker 3: if you if he want, if they went to other avenues,
- 5:41Speaker 3: they'd have con they could have contracts. So I get it.
- 5:44Speaker 3: You want you want to see a stability. You want
- 5:47Speaker 3: to know what you've got, and you want also want
- 5:51Speaker 3: a contract normally means a commitment from both sides, and
- 5:55Speaker 3: that's another thing you want. It protects the players, but
- 5:58Speaker 3: it also protects the school of the coaches. So I
- 6:02Speaker 3: could see it. I can see it happening.
- 6:07Speaker 8: Tommy.
- 6:09Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the hold up on the contracts is
- 6:11Speaker 4: then they be employees of the university, and college sports
- 6:16Speaker 4: doesn't want to go down that road. The pendulum has
- 6:21Speaker 4: slung completely the other way for all these years. The
- 6:24Speaker 4: athletes should people said the athletes should have been paid,
- 6:28Speaker 4: been getting compensated, and the schools were taking advantage of them.
- 6:34Speaker 4: And now we're in the theater of the absurd with
- 6:37Speaker 4: someone like Darien Mensa making four million dollars, who set
- 6:42Speaker 4: the scale that a guy from Tulane is worth four
- 6:45Speaker 4: million dollars a year, two year, eight million dollar contract.
- 6:50Speaker 4: And we had to watch all these heartwarming stories about
- 6:55Speaker 4: how he lifted his mom out of poverty, and it
- 6:58Speaker 4: was so great fall Duke to provide him this opportunity.
- 7:05Speaker 4: And what happens. Duke loses to Tulane, his old school.
- 7:11Speaker 4: His old school, Tulane makes the college football Playoffs, Duke
- 7:14Speaker 4: does not, and then he jumps ship on Duke at
- 7:18Speaker 4: the very last second, leaves them without a quarterback. So
- 7:25Speaker 4: whatever's gonna happen, it's gonna take extreme absurdities like that
- 7:31Speaker 4: to finally get some action. Today at the Raleigh Sports Club,
- 7:36Speaker 4: Elliott av the baseball coach, it's been there thirty years
- 7:41Speaker 4: and he was talking about how the NIOW has changed everything,
- 7:45Speaker 4: and he's taken teams of the College World Series, including
- 7:49Speaker 4: with Trey Turner and Carlos Rodon they're both in Major
- 7:54Speaker 4: League players. Tray turn he was talking about how nowadays
- 7:58Speaker 4: players not so much his baseball program because it's a
- 8:01Speaker 4: little bit different. But these players and football and basketball
- 8:08Speaker 4: are there for one year. There's no loyalty. And he
- 8:13Speaker 4: was citing an example of Trey Turner was so enjoying
- 8:17Speaker 4: his experience in North Carolina State and he's made so
- 8:20Speaker 4: much money in playing Major League baseball that he donated
- 8:24Speaker 4: a million dollars to the baseball program. And they've built
- 8:28Speaker 4: this state of the art training facility, and the Carlos
- 8:33Speaker 4: run Down has donated money. But if guys are only
- 8:37Speaker 4: gonna be in a school for one year, are they
- 8:39Speaker 4: gonna come back and donate money? Are they gonna care
- 8:41Speaker 4: at all about the school? Are the fans gonna care
- 8:45Speaker 4: Duke fans gonna care at all about Darian Menci even
- 8:49Speaker 4: though he led him to the conference title ten years
- 8:53Speaker 4: from now? Are they gonna care about him at all?
- 8:56Speaker 4: It's a mess, and it's gonna take more absurd store
- 9:00Speaker 4: where it's like like the one in Alabama. This guy,
- 9:03Speaker 4: another pro basketball player, give a chance to play call
- 9:07Speaker 4: he's not even enrolled in school. He's elgible to play
- 9:12Speaker 4: these guys aren't college just these guys are pro athletes
- 9:16Speaker 4: playing college sports.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy world we live in. Huh, Tommy, upon a
- 9:22Speaker 1: time they would it used to be all right, Tony, I.
- 9:28Speaker 5: Don't know if that's the answer. I don't know what
- 9:31Speaker 5: the answer is, but the answer has to be found, Okay.
- 9:34Speaker 5: Like this is the classic over correction of yeah, it
- 9:38Speaker 5: was wrong or you know, it wasn't fair. It's fair
- 9:41Speaker 5: to the players, but now the players are taking advantage
- 9:45Speaker 5: of it and running wild. Players are avoiding any kind
- 9:49Speaker 5: of obstacles or any kind of adversity.
- 9:53Speaker 7: Switching schools.
- 9:55Speaker 6: We've kind of talked about it.
- 9:56Speaker 5: I feel like Monday, Scott how or maybe last week
- 10:01Speaker 5: how Cayleer Pari said that you have no loyalty to
- 10:04Speaker 5: them of these schools. You go to three or four schools.
- 10:07Speaker 5: How does that scholarship even work? Are you even still
- 10:09Speaker 5: getting the education through this school?
- 10:11Speaker 6: Like?
- 10:11Speaker 5: What like what ties do you have to these universities?
- 10:14Speaker 5: You know by doing that, and they don't want to
- 10:19Speaker 5: make them employees, but what they are at this point
- 10:21Speaker 5: Carson back literally it was funny.
- 10:24Speaker 6: But when the young.
- 10:25Speaker 7: Lady asks, when the young lady asks, how was school?
- 10:31Speaker 5: How was your classes after winning the Fiesta Bowl, and
- 10:34Speaker 5: he kind of laughed and said, I graduated two years ago.
- 10:36Speaker 7: You know, like some of this stuff is like, okay, guys,
- 10:39Speaker 7: what are we doing?
- 10:40Speaker 6: You know?
- 10:40Speaker 5: And you have G League players that are now about
- 10:43Speaker 5: to get back into college. You have all this mess.
- 10:47Speaker 5: Somebody has to button it up, you know, I maybe
- 10:49Speaker 5: a commissioner. May I think that's the thing we got
- 10:52Speaker 5: to stop doing. We gotta stop looking at it like
- 10:55Speaker 5: their students and amateurs. They're professionals.
- 10:58Speaker 6: At this point.
- 10:59Speaker 7: You still are making money your professional I think that's
- 11:01Speaker 7: the first step of it.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Marvin.
- 11:07Speaker 8: Yeah, well, listen, the real crime, all right, if we
- 11:12Speaker 8: want to really you know, sit here and pick the
- 11:13Speaker 8: real crime is the fact that these kids, Okay, these
- 11:17Speaker 8: kids were making life changing money for all the administrators,
- 11:22Speaker 8: all the coaches. Okay, they're the ones responsible for all
- 11:25Speaker 8: these new buildings going up. This has been happening for decades, okay,
- 11:30Speaker 8: and they receive nothing. And you say, well, they get
- 11:33Speaker 8: a scholarship, they get an education, Okay, but the reality
- 11:36Speaker 8: is this the benefit package for the player needs to change.
- 11:40Speaker 8: When the schools are start making three hundred million dollars
- 11:43Speaker 8: a year two hundred million dollars a year just at football,
- 11:47Speaker 8: just a football, and the kid gets one hundred thousand
- 11:50Speaker 8: dollars scholarship. These these major schools are gonna make like
- 11:53Speaker 8: ten million, ten ten and a half million dollars per
- 11:57Speaker 8: kid if the kids sayed for four years, okay, and
- 12:00Speaker 8: the kid gets a hunt Down scholarship. No, that's that's horrible.
- 12:04Speaker 8: And that's why Supreme Court Justice Brett Kevanaugh laughed at
- 12:07Speaker 8: the NT toy in court. They tried to say, listen.
- 12:10Speaker 8: He told them, you guys have built a multi billion
- 12:13Speaker 8: dollar business. All right, you've painted you you've painted it school.
- 12:19Speaker 8: You said, no, this is a school. It's not really
- 12:21Speaker 8: your business.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Give me your break.
- 12:22Speaker 8: What are you talking about? These are your laborers, period.
- 12:25Speaker 8: You don't have these kids. You don't get the TV contracts,
- 12:28Speaker 8: you don't get the sponsorships, you don't get the new buildings,
- 12:31Speaker 8: the ad and the head coach that don't they don't
- 12:34Speaker 8: get their ten million dollars year salary. Whatever it may be.
- 12:37Speaker 8: I'm all for these kids getting paid. It's absolutely you
- 12:41Speaker 8: want to get mad about money, get mad at the bankers,
- 12:44Speaker 8: get mad at people who work in finance, get mad
- 12:47Speaker 8: at these these politicians for these lifetime you know, lifetime
- 12:52Speaker 8: salaries that they get. All right, these kids are elite.
- 12:55Speaker 8: They've worked toward that, and they've helped to build these
- 12:58Speaker 8: colleges up college, college enrollment, you know, college, what the
- 13:03Speaker 8: alumni gives. This all increases with football being what it is. Okay,
- 13:07Speaker 8: I agree, I completely agree with these kids being held
- 13:11Speaker 8: accountable to their contracts. That the contract should be enforced,
- 13:15Speaker 8: a one hundred thousand percent should be enforced, all right,
- 13:18Speaker 8: And I agree that they should have guardrails on the
- 13:20Speaker 8: transfer portal. Kids should be able to leave, but not
- 13:23Speaker 8: the way it's happening now. So to everybody's point, yeah,
- 13:27Speaker 8: this thing is kind of a mess. It's new. It's
- 13:29Speaker 8: gonna get worked out. And why would it get worked out,
- 13:32Speaker 8: because all the colleges want to keep that money. Okay,
- 13:35Speaker 8: they want to keep the money. And if you notice,
- 13:38Speaker 8: none of the presidents, none of the ads have come
- 13:40Speaker 8: out and said anything about paying these kids, because you
- 13:43Speaker 8: know why, giving them a little something is nothing compared
- 13:46Speaker 8: to what the schools are getting. It's nothing. It's a
- 13:48Speaker 8: drop in the bucket. So that's why you haven't heard
- 13:51Speaker 8: the people who run these institutions say anything or complain,
- 13:54Speaker 8: and they won't because without football, they're nothing. If the
- 13:58Speaker 8: University of Miami, you know, or Florida State didn't have football,
- 14:02Speaker 8: you know who they would be. They would be Townsend,
- 14:05Speaker 8: they would they would be Fel State University. They would
- 14:08Speaker 8: be a school you didn't even heard of. All right,
- 14:10Speaker 8: so listen, I'm all for everything, but I agree they
- 14:14Speaker 8: have to iron out the transfer portal, put some guardrails
- 14:16Speaker 8: on it. They have to enforce these contracts, whole kids accountable,
- 14:20Speaker 8: and you go from there. It's gonna get worked out, okay,
- 14:23Speaker 8: because there's too much money of off her to get
- 14:25Speaker 8: messed up. The last thing you want is a situation
- 14:28Speaker 8: where you get players striking or taking some kind of
- 14:31Speaker 8: action that messes the money up. Can imagine the situation
- 14:34Speaker 8: where they're gonna play the National Championship and the players say,
- 14:37Speaker 8: we're not gonna play. This is just to me that
- 14:40Speaker 8: that kind of stuff can happen. So they don't mind
- 14:43Speaker 8: paying these kids, but they should absolutely get the contracts enforced,
- 14:47Speaker 8: and ultimately they're gonna need some kind of collective brought
- 14:50Speaker 8: me the agreement. They're gonna need something like like the NFL.
- 14:54Speaker 8: But the money is here to stay. It ain't going
- 14:57Speaker 8: anywhere because everybody else other than the player are making
- 15:00Speaker 8: a fortune, all right, and the people involved, the people
- 15:02Speaker 8: who run the show, they're they're making a fortune and
- 15:05Speaker 8: they want to keep this money coming in. And you
- 15:07Speaker 8: can't do it. Listen, Kurt Signetti, what he's doing. I mean,
- 15:10Speaker 8: forget about it. It's somewhat of an anomaly, but you
- 15:13Speaker 8: can't do it here. You go with one star two
- 15:16Speaker 8: star players. Okay, I know, I know that, but the
- 15:19Speaker 8: reality is that you have to have elite players and
- 15:23Speaker 8: that costs money, y'all. You know that's going to cost money.
- 15:25Speaker 6: So too soon, Marvin.
- 15:29Speaker 8: I know, I know. Listen, No, Kurt Signetti, what's going on.
- 15:34Speaker 8: There's an anomaly. They're paying their kids too, But then
- 15:37Speaker 8: they don't have a forty min out of payroll at
- 15:39Speaker 8: Ohio State. They don't have a forty five of payroll
- 15:42Speaker 8: like Texas. You know, so listen, this is here to stay. Listen.
- 15:46Speaker 8: A lot of these people, a lot of people are
- 15:47Speaker 8: football peers. You you want the kid to love the school,
- 15:52Speaker 8: be you know, be blind toward everything else and be
- 15:54Speaker 8: low to that school. And I get that because that's
- 15:57Speaker 8: how I am with my school. Okay, but at the
- 16:00Speaker 8: end of the day, guys, it's a business. Capitalism has
- 16:03Speaker 8: no mercy. Anything that is profitable is going to be exploited,
- 16:08Speaker 8: all right. And at the end of the day, you know,
- 16:10Speaker 8: this college football thing is under a microscope. And once
- 16:13Speaker 8: you've see look look at the microscope. You see billions
- 16:16Speaker 8: of dollars, billions of dollars, and they want to keep
- 16:19Speaker 8: that in play. They're going to figure it out, y'all.
- 16:21Speaker 8: This won't be an issue in the next few years.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Let me go from there. Okay, great points all the
- 16:27Speaker 1: way around, Marvin number one. I agree with Bruce Purl.
- 16:29Speaker 1: There do have to be a player of contracts.
- 16:31Speaker 2: There're two.
- 16:32Speaker 1: There has to be accountable. You can't go ahead one
- 16:34Speaker 1: year you're here, then the next minute you're gonna go.
- 16:36Speaker 1: You have to be held accountable for at least a
- 16:38Speaker 1: period of time because then you're going to find people
- 16:41Speaker 1: donating the nil and then they won't do it again
- 16:44Speaker 1: because they left after one year. I see that's the
- 16:47Speaker 1: case of Troy Aikman. I won't get into that now
- 16:49Speaker 1: because that this can drag out the whole time. I
- 16:51Speaker 1: don't want to go there, but I just want to
- 16:53Speaker 1: say that Bruce Perl is not too far off base.
- 16:55Speaker 2: So I want to ask everybody a question.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Has everybody talked about Bruce you know, is obviously retirement
- 17:01Speaker 1: to the booth. Everybody has commented on that?
- 17:04Speaker 2: Is that correct?
- 17:06Speaker 3: Yes?
- 17:06Speaker 1: Well, okay, and of course everybody's talk all right, good,
- 17:10Speaker 1: let's continue on. Have a lot more to get to
- 17:13Speaker 1: one thing that we had a good time with Marvin
- 17:14Speaker 1: and are so earlier. I'm gonna run by everybody. It
- 17:17Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a long time here, but sports
- 17:21Speaker 1: one early.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Okay.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Spain is recruiting ten thousand volunteers to drink wine for
- 17:25Speaker 1: four years of one of the largest clinical trials in
- 17:28Speaker 1: history to study.
- 17:28Speaker 2: The long term.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Health effects of moderate alcohol consumption, specifically wine. Okay, Candy,
- 17:34Speaker 1: just give an overview, then we'll get everybody else, and
- 17:37Speaker 1: then we'll continue on.
- 17:39Speaker 3: I said, where do I do it?
- 17:42Speaker 2: Okay, Tommy, what about you?
- 17:44Speaker 4: Who's running to study the country of Spain? Yes?
- 17:47Speaker 2: Right, yeah, go ahead, Candy.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Yes, huh, yes, tom you know it's not the first study.
- 17:58Speaker 4: I don't know what they're expect to find. It seems
- 18:01Speaker 4: like we've had studies forever about alcohol and how I
- 18:05Speaker 4: can't help you and then obviously too much is bad
- 18:08Speaker 4: for you. So I don't know what you think about that.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but what you're doing or not? Yes or no?
- 18:15Speaker 4: They're gonna pay me.
- 18:20Speaker 8: If they're gonna pay.
- 18:24Speaker 7: Money, talk.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Said, all right, you talk now here.
- 18:30Speaker 7: I don't drink, but hey, I think Spain probably produces
- 18:33Speaker 7: pretty good wine.
- 18:34Speaker 6: So I'm down. Let's do it. It's modern too.
- 18:38Speaker 8: Give me that liquor. Yeah, I do it, and I'll
- 18:43Speaker 8: be I'll be your test getting I'll be a guinea pig.
- 18:45Speaker 8: Give me that liquor. Give me how many your ten years,
- 18:49Speaker 8: whatever it may be. How letting you keep that liquor
- 18:53Speaker 8: coming to Atlanta. I'll let you know of my thoughts
- 18:55Speaker 8: and my opinions wine.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Yes, to know it at that? Okay, Uh, then we're
- 19:02Speaker 1: getting a little control there. All right, Let's talk about
- 19:05Speaker 1: Rashived Wallace, who ended up tearing apart Jolan Bean for
- 19:08Speaker 1: entering the season with a defeating mindset. He actually come
- 19:12Speaker 1: down on himbiid obviously emb to me has been injury
- 19:15Speaker 1: play and actually about a year ago he had missed
- 19:18Speaker 1: a four hundred game. Well, so, canny, do you think
- 19:21Speaker 1: that Raceived Wallace was fair and his assertion of Joelan
- 19:25Speaker 1: Beaver taking a defensive mindset after all these years.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I do, because, let's face it, somebody's
- 19:37Speaker 3: been injured a lot, and I would Yeah, I do agree.
- 19:43Speaker 2: What about you, Tommy?
- 19:45Speaker 8: What is the question for racid?
- 19:47Speaker 1: Sure he was sharing Joel and b for entering the
- 19:51Speaker 1: season with defeated mindset. Keep in mind, and we all
- 19:54Speaker 1: know that Joelan Bean's missed a lot of games. They
- 19:56Speaker 1: actually missed. He's missed at leads over four hundred games
- 19:59Speaker 1: throughout his prayer. Who knows somebody more his missteps. The
- 20:02Speaker 1: feet of mindset, I think are the key words.
- 20:07Speaker 4: That's what That's what he's accusing Joe Albida having correct Yeah,
- 20:11Speaker 4: uh yeah, he's I'm sure he has a good point,
- 20:15Speaker 4: especially a guy like him who competed as hard as
- 20:17Speaker 4: he did coach. He was a coach of a high
- 20:22Speaker 4: school team here at Durham for a while what you've got,
- 20:25Speaker 4: and then before he started coaching in college. So yeah,
- 20:29Speaker 4: I wouldn't have any problem with you someone making that statement.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Okay, what about you, Tony?
- 20:35Speaker 4: You could you could throw in uh what's his name
- 20:37Speaker 4: with the Clippers Tooah?
- 20:42Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. Okay, fair enough.
- 20:46Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know if that's fair for Joe LMBI, man,
- 20:49Speaker 5: I think he just gets hurt like some people are
- 20:51Speaker 5: just injury prone, you know, I don't. He's been hurt
- 20:54Speaker 5: since college. I think he probably shouldn't have paid played
- 20:57Speaker 5: for Team USA and the Olympics. I think that was
- 21:00Speaker 5: a that was detrimental to him. Somebody like that doesn't
- 21:03Speaker 5: need to play any extra games and put any extra
- 21:06Speaker 5: minutes on.
- 21:06Speaker 6: His knees and feet.
- 21:08Speaker 5: So I think that's a little unfair, man, Because even
- 21:10Speaker 5: Joe Ellenbiid has been complaining that he wanted to play
- 21:12Speaker 5: more and do more, but they're trying to hold him
- 21:14Speaker 5: out because they know he don't got a lot of
- 21:15Speaker 5: tread on those tires.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait no, And Bed's announced before the season
- 21:22Speaker 3: that he would not play back to backs this season
- 21:26Speaker 3: and that Wallace was feeling that that hurt too morale
- 21:30Speaker 3: and set a poor example, which I completely agree. Come on, now,
- 21:35Speaker 3: you get paid to play a season, not half the
- 21:37Speaker 3: games of the season.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Yeah, but when Joe Ellenbe's hurt in April and May
- 21:43Speaker 5: and you're in that series against the Knicks and the Celtics,
- 21:47Speaker 5: does it matter that he paid.
- 21:48Speaker 7: It play the back to back in February.
- 21:51Speaker 5: You know, I think that's the thing, and I and
- 21:53Speaker 5: I and I think that's I think that I think
- 21:56Speaker 5: that's him and the team because he was also complaining
- 21:58Speaker 5: about his men. Is that probably should have been a
- 22:01Speaker 5: joint statement because the Sixers are also are also contributing
- 22:05Speaker 5: to him not playing.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Where's your team trainer? And I would keep those comments
- 22:11Speaker 3: quiet and not for sure so that you're not you're
- 22:14Speaker 3: not detrimenting the team.
- 22:16Speaker 7: Sorry, You're good.
- 22:18Speaker 6: No, I agree with that too. I think.
- 22:22Speaker 5: Like that, I A'm mad at it, and it kind
- 22:25Speaker 5: of goes back to I think it was Magic Johnson
- 22:27Speaker 5: who said it. Just because they put a microphone in
- 22:30Speaker 5: your face doesn't mean you gotta talk like you could
- 22:32Speaker 5: like you know, he could have just you know, said
- 22:34Speaker 5: something else or like no comment on that right now.
- 22:36Speaker 5: I'm just trying to stay healthy throughout the rest of
- 22:38Speaker 5: the season. Whatever we agree to, we'll go for that.
- 22:40Speaker 5: So I I I feel you on that, Candy for sure,
- 22:43Speaker 5: because you got people who are trying to play all
- 22:45Speaker 5: eighty two right so that they looks that does look
- 22:47Speaker 5: bad when you say that, But like I said, I
- 22:49Speaker 5: think that probably could have been like a joint statement
- 22:51Speaker 5: because I know the Sixers are involved in that too.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Well.
- 22:56Speaker 1: We all know Jolan Bes is one of the Kings
- 22:59Speaker 1: of Floort and as well as Kawhi Leonard and Received Wallace,
- 23:02Speaker 1: the littlest hard no players on the planet, and we
- 23:05Speaker 1: all know how intensity he was and all the your
- 23:07Speaker 1: technical files he used to get For a reason, Marvin Joel.
- 23:12Speaker 8: N Bid is a strange cat man. I don't know
- 23:14Speaker 8: if it's like cultural, I mean, and I really mean that.
- 23:17Speaker 8: I don't know if he just doesn't represent himself. Well,
- 23:20Speaker 8: you know, he's just a little too emotional sometimes, and
- 23:23Speaker 8: you know his energy is just off when you when
- 23:25Speaker 8: you see him speak and you hear him speak and
- 23:28Speaker 8: you watch his interviews, he just seems off, you know.
- 23:31Speaker 8: And it's hard because when you think about big Man,
- 23:34Speaker 8: you think about like Kareem out through Jabbar, think about Shock,
- 23:37Speaker 8: you think about you know guys that played and they
- 23:40Speaker 8: played as often as they could, you know what I mean.
- 23:42Speaker 8: And it's just this generation with load management, it's just
- 23:45Speaker 8: they're a different breed. They really are, man. I think
- 23:48Speaker 8: they're just we're in a different time now, you know.
- 23:50Speaker 8: And plus I think you know when you're when you're
- 23:52Speaker 8: a simious he's seven to one, you know, when you're
- 23:55Speaker 8: that tall, you know, and you're out there running down
- 23:57Speaker 8: that court and a getting people back people as a
- 24:00Speaker 8: physical sport. It's a physical contact sport. That ain't you know?
- 24:03Speaker 8: This is it ain't No, the NBA isn't full of punks.
- 24:06Speaker 8: I mean, these dudes get busy down low, you know,
- 24:09Speaker 8: I think you get beat up.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Man.
- 24:10Speaker 8: I think he's tall, you know, I don't know if
- 24:12Speaker 8: he's the most muscular guy. But when you're making fifty
- 24:16Speaker 8: million dollars a year, people don't want to hear that.
- 24:18Speaker 8: Nobody wants to hear that. When you're when you're that,
- 24:20Speaker 8: you know, a league MVP, nobody wants to hear that.
- 24:23Speaker 8: You know, So, you know, I agree with what Tony
- 24:25Speaker 8: said in regardless to you know, the microphone in your
- 24:27Speaker 8: face doesn't mean you have to say something, And if
- 24:30Speaker 8: you do, you gotta be more strategic. You gotta you
- 24:33Speaker 8: gotta understand who you are, what your role is on
- 24:35Speaker 8: that team, what your role is in that league. Leadership matters.
- 24:40Speaker 8: When people hear the best player or the highest paid
- 24:43Speaker 8: player on the team top like that, that can be
- 24:46Speaker 8: defeating you know, So I I get it, Man, I don't.
- 24:49Speaker 4: I don't like.
- 24:50Speaker 8: I don't like how he represents himself. I think he could,
- 24:54Speaker 8: he could really use a PR firm to coach him
- 24:57Speaker 8: up on certain things just the team. But U he
- 25:00Speaker 8: has to change his body language, his energy, his tone
- 25:03Speaker 8: because it's really off when you when you look at
- 25:06Speaker 8: the standard of m vps in that league. We're talking
- 25:08Speaker 8: about Jordan Kobe Bron. You know, he has to do
- 25:12Speaker 8: better than that. And and this is the load management,
- 25:15Speaker 8: not playing back to backs, I mean, and that that's
- 25:18Speaker 8: the case. You should take half to check, don't take
- 25:20Speaker 8: the whole check. If you the whole season. That's really
- 25:23Speaker 8: how I look at it. You know, you got a
- 25:24Speaker 8: lot of people in America who blue collar workers. Man,
- 25:26Speaker 8: they work hard, They work hard you know, for for
- 25:29Speaker 8: you know, twenty dollars an hour, whatever it may be.
- 25:32Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. So he has he has
- 25:34Speaker 8: to have greater perspective, greater sense of awareness and understand
- 25:37Speaker 8: that his words carry weight, his his words create energy.
- 25:41Speaker 8: And in a leadership position, you just have to do
- 25:44Speaker 8: better than that. That's the bottom line.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Tool mv needs to learn months upon a time. The
- 25:49Speaker 1: NBA played on tape delay and it was broke. That's
- 25:52Speaker 1: what it has to understand. If for for people like
- 25:55Speaker 1: Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, he wouldn't be making the money
- 25:58Speaker 1: that he's making. I know, Tommy, I got you of
- 26:00Speaker 1: like thirty more minutes, right, I know you have to
- 26:01Speaker 1: get off around ten, right, It's that correct. So I
- 26:03Speaker 1: want to make sure at the topic that we are
- 26:07Speaker 1: able to get with Tommy for sure. So what we're
- 26:10Speaker 1: gonna do is gonna hop around a little bit, and
- 26:12Speaker 1: that's if well, we'll stay with another football topic now. Now,
- 26:15Speaker 1: we obviously know that New York Giant coach John Harball
- 26:21Speaker 1: recently grew tired of Lamar Jackson's diminishing work ethic and
- 26:26Speaker 1: immaturity that obviously led to late like gaming and falling
- 26:31Speaker 1: asleep at the meetings.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Candy, do you agree.
- 26:33Speaker 1: With that assessment that obviously that Lamar Jackson wore on
- 26:38Speaker 1: him after a while, If all.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Of this is true, yes, Like I mean, if you're
- 26:46Speaker 3: playing a sport and you're getting paid billions of doubts,
- 26:51Speaker 3: I mean lots of money to play a game, you
- 26:57Speaker 3: need to be focused, especially during the sea and I
- 27:00Speaker 3: get that, and I get that there are times you
- 27:03Speaker 3: need to relax and get your mind away from it
- 27:06Speaker 3: as well, but not at the expense that you're falling
- 27:10Speaker 3: asleep during meetings or team meetings or not attentive. There's
- 27:16Speaker 3: a time and a place, as everybody says, and you
- 27:20Speaker 3: know that the time to fall asleep is not during
- 27:22Speaker 3: team meetings. And I can understand if the coach is
- 27:26Speaker 3: finding him doing that having an issue with that. You know, here,
- 27:30Speaker 3: you're the leader, You're getting paid the most money on
- 27:32Speaker 3: that team, and what kind of example are you setting
- 27:36Speaker 3: for the rest of the players in that team?
- 27:39Speaker 4: Bless Yeah, I think it probably started with what he
- 27:45Speaker 4: had that knee injury in I think it was twenty
- 27:48Speaker 4: twenty two, and there was controversy about whether he should
- 27:53Speaker 4: be playing or not. Whatever relationship existed between him and
- 27:57Speaker 4: the franchise started to deteriorate, and you know, the stories
- 28:04Speaker 4: that came out during the season were pretty discouraging to
- 28:07Speaker 4: hear from him because you didn't think of him as
- 28:10Speaker 4: that type of a guy. You thought of him as
- 28:12Speaker 4: a as a competitive guy who wanted to win, team player,
- 28:18Speaker 4: didn't take himself too seriously. So something has gone astray,
- 28:25Speaker 4: and it's surprising that he and Harbaugh. Something went wrong,
- 28:31Speaker 4: But that's that's the way it is in coaching, coaches
- 28:35Speaker 4: and quarterbacks and players and life in general.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Totally.
- 28:43Speaker 7: This is interesting.
- 28:47Speaker 5: Because it makes sense almost when you think about the
- 28:49Speaker 5: correlation of like how Lamar Jackson played this year compared
- 28:54Speaker 5: to obviously two MVP seasons and a possible third MVP season.
- 28:59Speaker 6: You know that was debate last year.
- 29:03Speaker 5: But we're gonna find out, right, I don't know, I
- 29:05Speaker 5: don't know. I find like I find it hard to believe.
- 29:08Speaker 5: I mean, I know Michael Vic did it back in
- 29:09Speaker 5: the day, but it's gotta be hard to play as
- 29:12Speaker 5: a quarterback and not be attentive. But we're gonna find out,
- 29:16Speaker 5: because it's only gonna be one common denominator left in Baltimore,
- 29:20Speaker 5: and that's gonna be Lamar Jackson. So, like, if he
- 29:23Speaker 5: doesn't put together great seasons after this, he's gonna have
- 29:28Speaker 5: a staying career and it's gonna look like you became
- 29:30Speaker 5: full of yourself and lazy after the contract at MVP.
- 29:34Speaker 5: So I'm more so interested to see, like how he
- 29:36Speaker 5: goes forward after these reports than you know, think about
- 29:39Speaker 5: the past of it, because that's done now. Now he's
- 29:41Speaker 5: gonna have to really show up and show out because
- 29:43Speaker 5: now that the spotlight's gonna be on him like never before.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Yeah, such as Herbal Done go ahead, and Marvin.
- 29:50Speaker 8: The quarterback position is the most alpha position in pro sports.
- 29:55Speaker 8: It is the the biggest leadership position in pro sports.
- 29:59Speaker 8: And to have you head coach or to have people
- 30:01Speaker 8: in your building question your work ethic is probably the
- 30:05Speaker 8: worst thing that they could say about you. That that
- 30:08Speaker 8: is the worst thing they could say. You know, all
- 30:10Speaker 8: you hear about NFL quarterbacks says that the first one
- 30:12Speaker 8: in the building, they're the last one to leave, right
- 30:15Speaker 8: and they have to be the leader. And I'm gonna
- 30:17Speaker 8: be honest with you, I would believe John Harbron this situation.
- 30:21Speaker 8: I do. I would believe him one hundred percent. I
- 30:23Speaker 8: understand this. This guy, coach Ray lewis arguably one of
- 30:27Speaker 8: the greatest players in the history of the game, if
- 30:30Speaker 8: not pro sports itself. So he understands, he's seen the
- 30:33Speaker 8: standard of greatness. He knows what all in looks like.
- 30:37Speaker 8: All right, and you don't you don't. You don't get
- 30:40Speaker 8: yourself out of a situation. And he didn't fire himself,
- 30:43Speaker 8: But you don't get yourself out of a situation within
- 30:46Speaker 8: two times MVP quarterback unless there's a problem with that quarterback. Okay.
- 30:51Speaker 8: And while Lamar, you know, had his moments. He he
- 30:53Speaker 8: played very well in their last game of the season
- 30:55Speaker 8: that they actually lost. You know, I I would believe
- 30:59Speaker 8: with John has to say or what the rumors are,
- 31:02Speaker 8: you know what I mean, whether there's smoke, there's fire. Okay,
- 31:04Speaker 8: you don't just walk away from a guy like Lamar
- 31:07Speaker 8: Jackson unless you see, you know, unless this, unless they're
- 31:10Speaker 8: a Kingston his armor. So I think it's a horrible
- 31:13Speaker 8: look for Lamar Jackson. At the end of the day,
- 31:16Speaker 8: you know, people are starting to talk. You know, at
- 31:19Speaker 8: some point he has to win a Super Bowl. Now
- 31:20Speaker 8: keep in mind, you know, guys like John Elway, hall
- 31:24Speaker 8: of Famer, as great as he was, he didn't win
- 31:27Speaker 8: a Super Bowl to his sixteenth and seventeenth season, and
- 31:30Speaker 8: he was considered to be a Hall of Famer and
- 31:32Speaker 8: great Way before that. All right, So for Lamar, I
- 31:36Speaker 8: think it's realistic that there's some complacency there. For Lamar,
- 31:40Speaker 8: I think it's realistic that after you didn't got two
- 31:42Speaker 8: MVPs and got one hundred and thirty five million dollar
- 31:45Speaker 8: contract that you know, maybe he took the foot, took
- 31:48Speaker 8: us foot off the gas a little bit that you
- 31:50Speaker 8: deal with human being, Joe, you know what I'm saying.
- 31:51Speaker 8: And he's still a young guy. I mean, he's easily
- 31:54Speaker 8: in his late twenties early thirties. Okay, So it's possible
- 31:58Speaker 8: and realistic that you know, seminus is true, you know,
- 32:01Speaker 8: and I hate to say that because I'm a Lamar fan,
- 32:03Speaker 8: but you know, you can't listen. If he had won
- 32:06Speaker 8: Super Bowl already, then John Harbor wouldn't mind him sleeping
- 32:10Speaker 8: in the meeting because guys, people sleep in the meetings.
- 32:13Speaker 8: Not not everybody, not everybody, but leave me. In the NFL,
- 32:17Speaker 8: you have players who sleep in meetings. That's a very
- 32:20Speaker 8: real thing. But for Lamar Jackson and the fire, he's
- 32:23Speaker 8: under the fire that John Harbor is under, there's no
- 32:26Speaker 8: room for that. They've fallen short year after year, and
- 32:30Speaker 8: that's not all on him. We all know. You know,
- 32:32Speaker 8: these guys Mark Andrews and the receiver numb before they
- 32:37Speaker 8: dropped some balls, and there was some bad plays by
- 32:39Speaker 8: the receiver's tight ends in clut situations where Lamar put
- 32:42Speaker 8: the ball where it's supposed to be but again, it's
- 32:45Speaker 8: the most alpha position in sports. You got to be
- 32:48Speaker 8: the guy that's your eyes got you this big in
- 32:50Speaker 8: those meetings when you're chasing that trophy and you haven't
- 32:53Speaker 8: won it yet, and the whole world's wondering when you
- 32:55Speaker 8: When are you gonna take come the trophy? When are
- 32:57Speaker 8: you gonna be considered one of the greats, especially when
- 33:01Speaker 8: this other guy in the AFC has won three Super Bowls.
- 33:04Speaker 8: You got Joe Burrow, who's been to a Super Bowl.
- 33:07Speaker 8: I mean, Josh Allen is coming as well, you know
- 33:11Speaker 8: he you know, he has some issues this year. So yeah,
- 33:14Speaker 8: I hate to hear it. I believe it to be
- 33:16Speaker 8: probably true. And you're also hearing now that they may
- 33:20Speaker 8: move him. Now this is this internet chatter you see.
- 33:22Speaker 8: You're seeing this stuff on social media. But again, where
- 33:25Speaker 8: there's smoke, there's fire. So I hate it for Lamar
- 33:28Speaker 8: And listen, he the biggest, his biggest accomplishment is still
- 33:33Speaker 8: ahead of him. You know, the biggest question mark is
- 33:36Speaker 8: still out there. Can you get your team to a championship?
- 33:39Speaker 8: Can you get over the hump? Because you don't want
- 33:41Speaker 8: to go out like Dan Marino, You don't want to
- 33:43Speaker 8: be Warren Moon. You know you don't want to be
- 33:45Speaker 8: these guys. I mean, these guys are Hall of famers,
- 33:47Speaker 8: but trust me, they have they have a tough time
- 33:50Speaker 8: moving on without that trophy. When you got Brady who
- 33:53Speaker 8: has seven, Montana has four, Mahomes already has three. Lamar,
- 33:58Speaker 8: you have nothing, You oyes wile opening in these meetings.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Yeah number one, Yes, all right, yeah, no, there's no
- 34:08Speaker 1: question I'm gonna take the sight of Harvard two.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Lamar.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Jackson's margin of era right now is going to be
- 34:14Speaker 1: much less because we're gonna have a new coach coming in.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Let's continue on while I have Tommy on board. Tommy,
- 34:20Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about your buddy Draymond Green, who's been
- 34:22Speaker 1: finding more than a million dollars in his NBA find
- 34:25Speaker 1: they're passing this mark. Is this comical or stupid?
- 34:28Speaker 2: Tommy a little.
- 34:30Speaker 4: Both, because he's so intense A lot of Rossieve Wallace
- 34:36Speaker 4: had a lot of penalties and fights too well. Dremond
- 34:40Speaker 4: Green is the ultimate team player. And I was talking
- 34:44Speaker 4: earlier about giving back to your university. He's given back
- 34:47Speaker 4: to Michigan State. Uh. He was there for four years.
- 34:52Speaker 4: He's proved himself a champion with the Warriors, so he's
- 34:59Speaker 4: he's he gets a little out of control times, but.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Personal candy, we're gonna go wrap and fire in a
- 35:10Speaker 1: couple of leaves, so we get Tommy who we can.
- 35:13Speaker 3: Draymond brings a lot of passion, and with a lot
- 35:17Speaker 3: of passion sometimes comes language that he should not use
- 35:21Speaker 3: and therefore sometimes finds.
- 35:26Speaker 5: Tony Draymond a punk man. He's a pump he has
- 35:32Speaker 5: he has selective aggression. He knows who to go after,
- 35:36Speaker 5: he doesn't. He doesn't bully certain players that are also
- 35:39Speaker 5: tough for want to fight too. He knows what he's doing.
- 35:44Speaker 5: And the problem with Draymond is, ain't nobody swung on
- 35:47Speaker 5: him yet he needs somebody to hit him back. You
- 35:50Speaker 5: move different when people hit you back. But the fine situation, though, look, man,
- 35:55Speaker 5: these players again, thirty forty to fifty Jalen Brown is
- 35:58Speaker 5: up to sixty million dollars a year. This is why
- 36:00Speaker 5: they can openly say in the press conference, I'm going
- 36:03Speaker 5: to take the fine and criticize or do whatever they're
- 36:06Speaker 5: going to do, because thirty forty thousand dollars when you're
- 36:08Speaker 5: getting paid seven hundred to a million dollars, you know,
- 36:12Speaker 5: a game, depending on what's going on. Not a million,
- 36:14Speaker 5: but like seven hundred thousand dollars a game. It's okay,
- 36:18Speaker 5: find the fines don't matter to these guys no more.
- 36:22Speaker 8: Marvin Scott Tony just summed it up. I think he
- 36:26Speaker 8: hit it right on the head. I had nothing to add.
- 36:28Speaker 8: I think he said it all right there.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Let's go to some old time college rivalries. There's a
- 36:33Speaker 1: couple of interesting ones that I want to bring it up.
- 36:36Speaker 1: I'm always intrigued by rivalries and in football. Ever since
- 36:40Speaker 1: Nebraska joined a Big Ten, Iowa have won nine of
- 36:43Speaker 1: their last ten games playing Nebraska when they were actually
- 36:46Speaker 1: looking to flip the script on Black Friday, and Candy
- 36:49Speaker 1: will give you the result in the moment. This game
- 36:50Speaker 1: has been decided by seven points or less the last
- 36:53Speaker 1: seven years. I always kicked a game winning field goal
- 36:57Speaker 1: in for the last seven games Hawkeye for six point
- 37:00Speaker 1: favors in Lincoln, Canty, what took place on that day?
- 37:04Speaker 1: And let's just talk about the Iowa Nebraska navor rivalry.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Candy.
- 37:09Speaker 3: So, the first meeting between these two happened November twenty
- 37:14Speaker 3: sixth of eighteen ninety one. The last meeting was November
- 37:21Speaker 3: twenty eighth of twenty twenty five, Iowa won forty to sixteen.
- 37:26Speaker 3: They have met fifty six times. Nebraska leads thirty, twenty
- 37:31Speaker 3: three and three. The trophy series, it's called the Heroes
- 37:35Speaker 3: Trophy and it is played on Black Friday. Iowa leads
- 37:39Speaker 3: eleven to four. The largest victory was Nebraska fifty seven
- 37:43Speaker 3: to nothing. The longest wind streak was Nebraska at eight
- 37:48Speaker 3: between nineteen thirty one and forty one. The current wind
- 37:52Speaker 3: streak is Iowa three twenty twenty three to the present.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Okay, Tommy, what are your talks about this rivalry.
- 38:00Speaker 4: Well, that's one of those rivalries that's only important to
- 38:03Speaker 4: the teams involved, you know. But Nebraska joined the Big Ten,
- 38:07Speaker 4: they were hoping the games against Iowa replaced their traditional
- 38:13Speaker 4: season ending rivalry against Oklahoma. Well, Nebraska and Iowa are
- 38:18Speaker 4: never playing for any kind of national title or not
- 38:21Speaker 4: number one ranking or even top five rankings, so nobody
- 38:25Speaker 4: really pays any attention to the game. But you know,
- 38:29Speaker 4: it's always good for to have your local rivalries like that,
- 38:33Speaker 4: neighborhood neighboring state rivalries.
- 38:39Speaker 5: I guess this is one of the few times where
- 38:41Speaker 5: conference realignment has preserved a rivalry, like, you know, kind
- 38:44Speaker 5: of forcing them to have to play against each other
- 38:47Speaker 5: every year, where now we see conference realignment tearing apart robberies.
- 38:51Speaker 6: So and that aspect is great. But I gotta agree
- 38:53Speaker 6: with Tom.
- 38:54Speaker 7: I'm not.
- 38:55Speaker 5: I'm not rushing to the TV that they have a
- 38:57Speaker 5: bank to put on Iowa Nebraska now when it used
- 39:00Speaker 5: to be Nebraska and Colorado and games like that, When
- 39:04Speaker 5: those games, I like those a little more. But yeah,
- 39:06Speaker 5: this is this is a Midwest Classic. It's not for me, all.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Right, Marvin.
- 39:13Speaker 8: Listen, Iowa and Nebraska are two proud football programs. You know,
- 39:18Speaker 8: Nebraska had its moments with Tom Osbourne. People forget man,
- 39:23Speaker 8: those Osbourne teams were tough. Listen. I don't I don't
- 39:26Speaker 8: make it a secret. I'm an s C alum. But
- 39:29Speaker 8: Tommy Fraser, quarterback for Nebraska, is my favorite all time
- 39:34Speaker 8: non USC player. Tommy Fraser played quarterback for the for Nebraska.
- 39:38Speaker 8: He was amazing out of Bryton, Florida. Love watching that
- 39:41Speaker 8: guy play. Nebraska's teams are historically tough, gritty, same thing
- 39:47Speaker 8: for Iowa. Two prod programs. I got a chance to
- 39:50Speaker 8: watch both of these teams play this year as us
- 39:52Speaker 8: he played both of them and one. But yeah, it's
- 39:55Speaker 8: a it really is. It's a good rivalry prod programs
- 39:59Speaker 8: that the people in those regions loved their teams one
- 40:01Speaker 8: hundred percent, and you know it's a game that I
- 40:04Speaker 8: would watch.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to another rivalry.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Interesting obviously, this one's also in the Big Ten, and
- 40:10Speaker 1: that Penn State, which was actually an eight and a
- 40:12Speaker 1: half point in favor over Nebraska at home this past year.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Nebraska won the last meaning thirty to twenty eight. Lincoln
- 40:20Speaker 1: Nebraska's four to one against Penn State since joining the
- 40:23Speaker 1: Big Ten.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Why am I mentioning this now? I'll tell you why.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Because before Penn State actually hired Matt Campbell, they were
- 40:31Speaker 1: actually looking at Matt rule and he ended up getting
- 40:34Speaker 1: a contract extension. Candy, why don't you go ahead and
- 40:37Speaker 1: summarrise what took place there? And obviously Matt Ruhle got
- 40:40Speaker 1: a raise and Matt Campbell got a new job, leaving
- 40:44Speaker 1: that Iowa State.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Matt. On November twenty third or twenty twenty five, Penn
- 40:52Speaker 3: State beat Nebraska thirty seven to ten. Did you want
- 41:00Speaker 3: more than that? Or I don't know why?
- 41:02Speaker 1: Just a little bit more obviously. Yeah, So obviously Matt
- 41:05Speaker 1: Rule got his extension and Penn State blew him out.
- 41:09Speaker 1: What else can I say?
- 41:10Speaker 3: So Nebraska Nebraska owns the series right now with ten
- 41:17Speaker 3: and eight records, but the most recent game game during
- 41:20Speaker 3: the COVID nineteen series back in twenty twenty, when Nebraska
- 41:24Speaker 3: won thirty to twenty three. Penn State is six and
- 41:28Speaker 3: three at home, with the overall series being a series
- 41:32Speaker 3: of runs, so it does go back quite a ways
- 41:37Speaker 3: as well, though, I'll get that more.
- 41:42Speaker 4: Yeah, I said this before. The Nebraska athletic director should
- 41:46Speaker 4: have encouraged Rule to take that job and go back
- 41:49Speaker 4: home to Penn State because Nebraska is not going to
- 41:52Speaker 4: be a big winner under Matt Rule. I don't know
- 41:55Speaker 4: if they will be ever again like they were with
- 41:59Speaker 4: Bob Devany Osbourne, not unless they come up with the
- 42:02Speaker 4: next Kurtzignetty. It's just a different college football landscape. H Nebraska.
- 42:09Speaker 4: A lot of their success was built on Osborne, not
- 42:13Speaker 4: so much Tavini's teams, but Osbourne's teams. Those guys were
- 42:16Speaker 4: heavily into steroids and that had a lot to do
- 42:21Speaker 4: with their success.
- 42:22Speaker 5: Uh.
- 42:22Speaker 4: Nebraska, Michigan State, was a bad team this year and
- 42:26Speaker 4: they blew the game at Nebraska. They should have won
- 42:29Speaker 4: that game. And Penn State, Uh, they lost a lot
- 42:35Speaker 4: of their guys have it's they're still Penn State. But
- 42:39Speaker 4: a lot of their guys followed James Franklin to Virginia Tech,
- 42:43Speaker 4: including some of the recruits and Campbell, the new coach,
- 42:48Speaker 4: Matt Campbell got his quarterback to follow him to Iowa State.
- 42:52Speaker 4: But I don't know if that's gonna be enough. I'm
- 42:56Speaker 4: not Nebraska is not a player anymore. We'll see what
- 43:00Speaker 4: happens with Penn State.
- 43:03Speaker 5: Okay, Tony, I agree with Tom Matt Rule thumbs down.
- 43:10Speaker 5: As a Panthers fan, I will never be a fan
- 43:12Speaker 5: of Matt Rule. He ruined our franchise along with Temper.
- 43:19Speaker 5: But yeah, I agree with Tom. Like back in the day,
- 43:21Speaker 5: look man, Nebraska, there was a lot of juice going
- 43:24Speaker 5: on and that helped Nebraska get to where they want
- 43:26Speaker 5: to be. They will have to become like a one
- 43:29Speaker 5: hundred million dollar players in the nil market to break
- 43:33Speaker 5: net success back, and I don't think they're in the
- 43:35Speaker 5: business of doing that, So it's gonna be interesting to
- 43:38Speaker 5: see how that works. Penn State, though, they have a
- 43:43Speaker 5: tendency to get back to some kind of relevance quickly.
- 43:45Speaker 5: I think they'll be okay even with James Franklin's departure,
- 43:49Speaker 5: and the recruits give them like a year or two,
- 43:51Speaker 5: that'll be all right. But Nebraska, they'll be around five
- 43:55Speaker 5: and seven for the next five to seven years.
- 44:01Speaker 8: Listen. Yeah, these college coaches. On one hand, you know,
- 44:04Speaker 8: they work around the clock. They're constantly traveling, recruiting, disfeats
- 44:09Speaker 8: up all their time. They're never with their families. But
- 44:11Speaker 8: on the other hand, if your name is mentioned to
- 44:15Speaker 8: be a potential hire someone else, then your current school
- 44:17Speaker 8: gives you a raise. Automatically, you automatically get a raised,
- 44:20Speaker 8: all right, And if you do horrible and they fire you,
- 44:23Speaker 8: then they give you thirty million dollars to walk out
- 44:25Speaker 8: the door. You know what I mean. It has to
- 44:27Speaker 8: be the best job in the world when you think
- 44:29Speaker 8: about it. You know what I'm saying. It's unbelievable how
- 44:32Speaker 8: it works for these college coaches. Man, his name gets
- 44:35Speaker 8: mentioned in Penn State, Nebraska gives him a raise, and
- 44:37Speaker 8: guess what when they fire him in two years, they'll
- 44:40Speaker 8: give him fifty million dollars to leave that's how it
- 44:42Speaker 8: goes unbelievable.
- 44:45Speaker 1: Only in America. Ye, Holy, in America. We'll talk about
- 44:50Speaker 1: John Arbo inherited. At one point, the Giants are on
- 44:52Speaker 1: five this season on the road where they lay by
- 44:55Speaker 1: ten plus points. Well, can't state to say John Harbaugh
- 44:59Speaker 1: has a lot of work to to do when you
- 45:01Speaker 1: go out there and lead by ten plus points and
- 45:04Speaker 1: you still lose.
- 45:06Speaker 3: Yeah, but John Harbor is gonna. I think he's gonna
- 45:10Speaker 3: do good things with the Giants. I really do. I
- 45:12Speaker 3: think he's a good coach, and I look forward to
- 45:16Speaker 3: seeing what he can do and how he can put
- 45:19Speaker 3: his stamp on that franchise.
- 45:23Speaker 2: Tommy, see how he does.
- 45:26Speaker 4: He's still young enough that he can still coach for
- 45:29Speaker 4: a while. But you know, he has been a head
- 45:31Speaker 4: coach for eighteen years. Maybe he doesn't have the same
- 45:34Speaker 4: voice he had before. A lot of great coaches, for
- 45:37Speaker 4: whatever reason, they lose their edge. The Giants have a
- 45:42Speaker 4: lot of rebuilding to do. But you know, clearly he's
- 45:45Speaker 4: proven himself as a great coach over the years. But well,
- 45:50Speaker 4: we'll have to see if he's if he's if he's
- 45:52Speaker 4: run his course, Tony.
- 45:58Speaker 5: I I mean I like to high he was him
- 46:01Speaker 5: and Tomlin were what the best two head coaches available.
- 46:04Speaker 5: If Tomlin ever decided to be available, The first thing
- 46:10Speaker 5: he has to do in New York, though, is send
- 46:12Speaker 5: Jackson Dart down to Yankee spring training and teach him
- 46:16Speaker 5: how to slide.
- 46:18Speaker 7: That's gonna be what ties to his suspension.
- 46:20Speaker 5: No, honestly, that's that's what's gonna It was between Tendessee
- 46:25Speaker 5: and New York, and he was looking at the quarterback situation.
- 46:28Speaker 5: He clearly chose Jackson Dark. If he doesn't learn teach
- 46:31Speaker 5: Jackson Dart to protect himself or create an offense that
- 46:34Speaker 5: protects Jackson Dart from himself, both of them will be
- 46:37Speaker 5: out of New York in the next three to four years, right,
- 46:40Speaker 5: So that's that's what it all hinges on. But I
- 46:43Speaker 5: think he'll be okay. He's perfect for the New York media.
- 46:45Speaker 5: He's been in the game long enough. He's gonna do
- 46:47Speaker 5: good there.
- 46:49Speaker 8: Marron Listen, Harbor got one hundred million dollars in five
- 46:54Speaker 8: years for a five year deal. A young quarterback in
- 46:57Speaker 8: Jackson Dark, Scatable Lait neighbors. They have a few pieces
- 47:02Speaker 8: on defense. He walked into Listen. They have players over
- 47:05Speaker 8: there that they need more and you know and all that,
- 47:07Speaker 8: but they're they're not. The carpet isn't there in New York.
- 47:10Speaker 8: With that said, he's kicking himself because if he would
- 47:13Speaker 8: have waited another week or so, he could have been
- 47:16Speaker 8: in Buffalo.
- 47:17Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
- 47:19Speaker 8: And what you as an NFL head coach, the number
- 47:21Speaker 8: one thing you want is a quarterback. That's that's to
- 47:23Speaker 8: forget everything else. If you get a quarterback, you can
- 47:25Speaker 8: build around that. He had, he could have had Josh Allen.
- 47:28Speaker 8: And I'm telling you right now, he's telling his wife
- 47:31Speaker 8: at home, honey, we should have held out. I kid
- 47:33Speaker 8: you not. I mean that, you know, Josh Allen is
- 47:37Speaker 8: probably the guy that Lamar Jackson isn't. And I hate
- 47:40Speaker 8: to say that, but that's very real. I think so. Yeah,
- 47:44Speaker 8: for as much as he likes where he's at, I
- 47:47Speaker 8: bet you he would have waited if he knew what
- 47:48Speaker 8: was coming.
- 47:49Speaker 1: Yeah, But jenel Wan Marvin, welcome to the media. What
- 47:52Speaker 1: could have been and what should have been in his
- 47:53Speaker 1: old news? What is it is? What it is is
- 47:56Speaker 1: new news? All right, So we kind of touched week.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Well it's okay, Marvin, I'm with you. You're a former player,
- 48:02Speaker 1: I get it. I understand where they're coming from. You
- 48:04Speaker 1: see things differently than most of those people that haven't
- 48:06Speaker 1: played the game and put the pads on.
- 48:08Speaker 2: I have no problem with that.
- 48:09Speaker 1: So let's talk about an part of the country where
- 48:13Speaker 1: they take their football series. So we talked about the
- 48:15Speaker 1: playoffs on Saturday on the inside the fiction, but we're
- 48:18Speaker 1: talking about the regular season a little bit. But they
- 48:20Speaker 1: do take their famous their football seriesly in the Big
- 48:23Speaker 1: God Country because for a regular season game, not an
- 48:27Speaker 1: FBS game, ne FTCs teams Montana State and Montana charge
- 48:32Speaker 1: three hundred dollars just to aner a regular season game. Candy,
- 48:35Speaker 1: a regular season game up in Montana Montana State. Tommy
- 48:39Speaker 1: loves east story, but go ahead, Candy.
- 48:42Speaker 3: But it's a it's a big time rivalry and it's
- 48:45Speaker 3: kind of about supply and demand. You know, if you
- 48:47Speaker 3: can get it, they're gonna get it. And let's face it,
- 48:50Speaker 3: ticket prices have increased no matter where you go, like,
- 48:55Speaker 3: let's face it, everything has. You go to the grocery
- 48:57Speaker 3: store and your prices have gone.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Way up.
- 49:02Speaker 3: So am I surprised?
- 49:04Speaker 4: Now?
- 49:05Speaker 3: Am I a little surprised at those two schools charging
- 49:08Speaker 3: that much? Yes, probably, but obviously they can charge it
- 49:13Speaker 3: if they're gonna get they're gonna get it if they
- 49:15Speaker 3: charge it, or they're gonna play in front of an
- 49:18Speaker 3: empty stand.
- 49:19Speaker 1: So well, you also have to keep in mind that
- 49:23Speaker 1: those stadiums aren't very big either, probably twenty twenty five thousand.
- 49:27Speaker 1: They're not as big as the other one, and they
- 49:29Speaker 1: can get premium dollar for a smaller stadium.
- 49:31Speaker 4: Tommy, So we were talking about Clemson, did you say.
- 49:35Speaker 1: Now we're talking about Montana Montana State, Hello, Cybers. Well
- 49:41Speaker 1: for the school, yeah, they played each other three hundred Buckso.
- 49:47Speaker 4: I imagine they're trying to duplicate a lot of what
- 49:50Speaker 4: Boise State. Did you know Boise State was just a
- 49:52Speaker 4: small program. I don't. I'm not even sure it was
- 49:56Speaker 4: a four year school, say fifty years ago. But uh,
- 50:01Speaker 4: you know, they they put a lot of money into
- 50:04Speaker 4: the program. They have the community behind it and and
- 50:08Speaker 4: the fans, and places like Montana and Montana State they
- 50:11Speaker 4: don't have pro sports, so I'm sure plenty of people
- 50:14Speaker 4: will be happy to pay up.
- 50:17Speaker 7: Yeah, Tony, yeah, looking at it.
- 50:22Speaker 5: Uh, they're a huge ribbery. But this was also a
- 50:30Speaker 5: semi final game, a playoff game.
- 50:33Speaker 2: So this was this one didn't happen to be a
- 50:36Speaker 2: regular season game. Got worse? That's all right, three hundred
- 50:39Speaker 2: bucks for regular season game.
- 50:41Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, now we got a problem. All right, all right?
- 50:43Speaker 7: I thought this was the semi final game, whereas.
- 50:46Speaker 2: You missed, it was more money than yeah, okay.
- 50:50Speaker 7: All right, all right, now we got problems, all right.
- 50:52Speaker 7: I thought it was a playoff game where it's like, hey,
- 50:54Speaker 7: this might be the.
- 50:55Speaker 5: Last time you see these guys this season, and you
- 50:57Speaker 5: know in college, depending on seniors, this the last time
- 50:59Speaker 5: you'll see these guys. Ever, so I get the special
- 51:02Speaker 5: need for three hundred dollars for a playoff game, regular
- 51:04Speaker 5: season Montana, Big Sky Country. I don't know if I'm
- 51:09Speaker 5: paying three hundred dollars to be cold and windy Montana, man,
- 51:11Speaker 5: I'm good on that.
- 51:14Speaker 1: You and Sausky agree on that one. Go ahead and
- 51:16Speaker 1: Marvin regular season game.
- 51:20Speaker 8: What it tells you is there's a demand in that area.
- 51:23Speaker 8: Football matters. It doesn't matter if they're a big school
- 51:26Speaker 8: or a small school. If that's your school, if that's
- 51:29Speaker 8: who you love and that's who you support, then you're
- 51:32Speaker 8: gonna pay that money. Like you said, it was, it
- 51:34Speaker 8: was a supplying demand issue, uh in a small stadium,
- 51:38Speaker 8: so they could they conject in prices up a little bit.
- 51:40Speaker 8: And guess what, that stadium was full, all right, That
- 51:43Speaker 8: stadium was full, full of passionate people who love those schools.
- 51:47Speaker 8: So to them, that's St. Notre Dame it is. That's
- 51:51Speaker 8: how I used to look at that. That's manly for
- 51:53Speaker 8: the state. To them, it really is in their hearts.
- 51:55Speaker 8: So yeah, I get it, man, I get it, and
- 51:57Speaker 8: I love it. Big school, small school. If it's your school,
- 52:01Speaker 8: you passionate about it.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Boy, all right, Tom, every gonna have one more topic
- 52:06Speaker 1: for you then we'll let you out of here with
- 52:07Speaker 1: the Shanahan Report.
- 52:08Speaker 2: Is that fair enough? One more?
- 52:09Speaker 4: That's good?
- 52:10Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, that's good.
- 52:12Speaker 4: All right?
- 52:13Speaker 1: You talk about program builder. Dusty May has completely turned
- 52:17Speaker 1: around the Michigan Wolverine. Inherited an eight and twenty four
- 52:19Speaker 1: Michigan squad two years ago. Coached by Juwan Howard, he's
- 52:22Speaker 1: led the Wolverine to a number two ranking in the country.
- 52:25Speaker 1: Earlier this year, the team thurned out fourteen to zero
- 52:27Speaker 1: before he dropped it close. Came to Wisconsin and they've
- 52:30Speaker 1: been destroying a lot of their appointments upon us recently.
- 52:33Speaker 1: Let's go around the horn with this one real quickly, Kendy,
- 52:35Speaker 1: what are your talks about the job Dusty May has done. Obviously, no,
- 52:38Speaker 1: what he did locally at Fort Atlantic.
- 52:42Speaker 3: University of Michigan had had his recent history of poor hires.
- 52:48Speaker 3: They nailed it on the head when they hired Dusty May.
- 52:52Speaker 3: He is a really good coach. We've talked to him
- 52:55Speaker 3: when he was down here at FAU and the program
- 52:58Speaker 3: that he built down here, or help build down here
- 53:02Speaker 3: at FAU, which is a small, small school down here,
- 53:07Speaker 3: doesn't have a big gym, doesn't have you know, nearly
- 53:10Speaker 3: the finances, and yet took them to the NCS Final four.
- 53:16Speaker 3: Then to get hired at Michigan, that was one of
- 53:19Speaker 3: the smartest hires they did. And he's having success and
- 53:23Speaker 3: I'm not surprised. He is an all around great coach.
- 53:29Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, he was a great coach before he
- 53:32Speaker 4: got there, and he's collected a lot of great players
- 53:36Speaker 4: for the transfer portal. They have struggled recently though they
- 53:40Speaker 4: were lucky to win at Penn State. Penn State had
- 53:42Speaker 4: a shot at the buzzer that could have beat him.
- 53:45Speaker 4: Oregon is struggling. They only beat Oregon by ten, so
- 53:49Speaker 4: they've hit a lull right now, which happens to everybody.
- 53:53Speaker 4: But they are loaded with talent. It's just a matter
- 53:56Speaker 4: of how much they're going to keep playing together like
- 53:58Speaker 4: they did earlier in the year.
- 54:01Speaker 2: Tony Yeah.
- 54:03Speaker 5: Man, These coaches from these small schools, when they have
- 54:06Speaker 5: that kind of success, when you give them a bigger budget,
- 54:09Speaker 5: you give them better facilities, they normally can duplicate or
- 54:13Speaker 5: be a forced multiplier of that sussess in a bigger stage.
- 54:16Speaker 5: And it's happening right now in Michigan. As somebody who
- 54:20Speaker 5: likes Carolina Hoops, it pays me to see Elliott Caddell
- 54:23Speaker 5: playing so well for Michigan and we couldn't figure out
- 54:26Speaker 5: him at the point guard position in Carolina. But I'm
- 54:29Speaker 5: not gonna be a hater man. Shout out to Michigan.
- 54:32Speaker 5: Let's see how far they can go. You know, tournament
- 54:35Speaker 5: time is when it all matters, and anything can happen
- 54:38Speaker 5: in March. So great regular season so far, in a
- 54:40Speaker 5: great start.
- 54:42Speaker 1: Well, Dustin means a pretty good look in the NCAA tournament.
- 54:45Speaker 1: He's taking teams deep for sure, all right, Marvin.
- 54:48Speaker 8: Typically In these situations, I would say leadership matters.
- 54:51Speaker 3: You know.
- 54:52Speaker 8: I don't want to do that to Juwan Howard because
- 54:54Speaker 8: this guy took his team to the championship game, I
- 54:56Speaker 8: believe his first or second year. I think the bigger
- 54:59Speaker 8: thing here, as Tom said and Tony alluded to, is
- 55:03Speaker 8: you had a bunch of unloyal kids who left their
- 55:06Speaker 8: schools to go to Michigan to deal with this coach.
- 55:09Speaker 8: And this coach got some better players and they look
- 55:12Speaker 8: good and that's the bottom line.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna go to the Shanahan Report, Tommy, thanks
- 55:17Speaker 1: for hanging with us. We're actually at ten, so we
- 55:19Speaker 1: will keep it any further than that. Let's go to
- 55:21Speaker 1: Shanahan Report, Tommy. We'll be back in about two weeks
- 55:23Speaker 1: with more college football and some major college basketball topics
- 55:27Speaker 1: that they come about. All right, Tommy, the FLOORSA or
- 55:29Speaker 1: shanan Report, go for it.
- 55:32Speaker 4: Yeah, go to Tom Shanahan dot Report, Twitter is if
- 55:38Speaker 4: you live in the North Carolina Raleigh Dorhram area. The
- 55:41Speaker 4: Apex Regional Library Apex is, a Raleigh suburb, has invited
- 55:46Speaker 4: me for Black History Months to talk about my books.
- 55:50Speaker 4: My books don't only talk about Michigan, State. I talk
- 55:53Speaker 4: about a lot of the other college football integration leaders
- 55:57Speaker 4: in the state of North Carolina made a far bigger
- 56:01Speaker 4: role than people understand. And again it's the same old story.
- 56:06Speaker 4: In the nineteen sixties, the sports media avoided race, and
- 56:10Speaker 4: the milestones that were being set and recorded were ignored.
- 56:15Speaker 4: North Carolina State desegregated in nineteen sixty six with Earrow Edwards,
- 56:19Speaker 4: who came from Michigan State. Nineteen sixty four. Michigan State
- 56:23Speaker 4: was the first fully integrated team to play in the
- 56:26Speaker 4: South at North Carolina's Keenan Stadium. Wake Forest was the
- 56:32Speaker 4: first major school in the Atlantic Coast Conference to recruit
- 56:36Speaker 4: black players consistently and develop them out of high school.
- 56:40Speaker 4: Maryland recruited Daryl Hill first a year earlier, but they
- 56:44Speaker 4: weren't committed to black athletes. He was a senior transfer
- 56:48Speaker 4: of polished product. And then guys like Jimmy Ray came
- 56:52Speaker 4: out of Fairville, North Carolina went to Michigan State. Bobby
- 56:56Speaker 4: Bell Soda Rol are also from North Carolina. A lot
- 57:02Speaker 4: of transcendent people in North Carolina, and so I don't
- 57:07Speaker 4: know how many people are in the audience out there
- 57:10Speaker 4: live with it driving days just I'd love to see you.
- 57:15Speaker 1: What time you want to think? So well, everybody now
- 57:18Speaker 1: they get a hold of Tommy, Tom Jenny, do report

- 1:00:19Speaker 3: right here on our YouTube channel. Back to you, Scott.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: That she's a little alarmed. Colleague game days you're playing us.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: I'll tell you we feel pretty privileged. We graduated college
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: game Day, great stump. Can'd look at that energy this
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: woman had? After all, she's an Indiana girl. Because of
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Hoosiers won.
- 1:00:40Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: She's an Indiana girl. She's a.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: Technically I was born in that state. I will admit, yes,
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: didn't live there long, but I'm a.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: That doesn't matter. She's sure.
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: I was born close to where. They are talking about
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears possibly building a stadium and you believe that.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna talk about that in a few ways.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: Good stuff, Candy. By the way, you said that thing
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: up there, you go, let's talk about the NFL. And
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: that says how the NFL stole Christmas from the NBA.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: Which what do you watch first? And I'm gonna go
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: over everything and then we put everybody on the spot.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: For decades, Christmas was the NBA's the NFL Occasey played
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: on the day, but it was rare until twenty twenty
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: when the NFL barge in with the Vikings and the
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: same twenty million viewers hit And obviously, guess what little
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: thing going there? So, Candy, which one would you watch?
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: But you watch the NFL or the NBA.
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: Any day of the week. Give me the NFL. I
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: do not need to see the National Drama League. The
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: other thing is is they play so many more games
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: the NFL doesn't play that many games, So give me
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: any day of the week NFL.
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: Hey, Tony, So twenty twenty four, I said, I watched
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: the NFL more, twenty twenty five, I watched more NBA.
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: The thing about playing those games for Christmas is you
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: don't know where the teams will be in this like
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: in the standings that time of the year, and it's
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: pretty much set. The two games that came on this year,
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: the Cowboys and the Redskins, both were out of the
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: playoffs Detroit and Minnesota. Detroit were still technically in, but
- 1:02:38Speaker 5: they was pretty much eliminated. So it kept me compelled
- 1:02:42Speaker 5: to watch basketball. And also, I am a channel surfer, NFL.
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: If you're going to do Christmas, you gotta get it
- 1:02:49Speaker 5: off Netflix, put it on Fox, put it on CBS,
- 1:02:53Speaker 5: because I'm not going to Netflix necessarily to watch football,
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like, if I'm flipping through
- 1:02:59Speaker 5: the channel, I like to flip through my challenges and
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: channel search. So that kind of took me away from it.
- 1:03:03Speaker 5: So stop being a bully, NFL. Okay, stop being debo
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: and taking chains. Let the NBA have Christmas, all right.
- 1:03:13Speaker 5: Let the NBA have Christmas.
- 1:03:16Speaker 8: All right, Marvin, Hmmm, which what I watched? Let me
- 1:03:19Speaker 8: answer it like this. Listen, when I was a kid,
- 1:03:23Speaker 8: I used to sleep in full pads. As a kid,
- 1:03:25Speaker 8: I was sleeping the bed at full pads, and I
- 1:03:27Speaker 8: would I would hold my football in the bed like
- 1:03:29Speaker 8: it was a girl. Okay, Like I love my kid.
- 1:03:31Speaker 8: You not, Okay? My wife and kids are my greatest love.
- 1:03:35Speaker 8: Football is my first love. Okay. The NBA today is
- 1:03:40Speaker 8: just shooting up threes. I hate it. I can't stand it.
- 1:03:43Speaker 8: I can't stand I love I love Steph Curry, but man,
- 1:03:46Speaker 8: he's impacted the game in a way. I don't even
- 1:03:48Speaker 8: recognize it anymore. Okay, to me, NBA basketball doesn't even
- 1:03:53Speaker 8: become great until you get down to you really the
- 1:03:55Speaker 8: final four teams, you know, when when you get to
- 1:03:57Speaker 8: the conference championship and then the NBA Finals. So on
- 1:04:01Speaker 8: Christmas Day, give me that foods ball we got all
- 1:04:05Speaker 8: day long. That's it.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: Yeah, NFL?
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: Can I ask a question?
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: Can I ask a question?
- 1:04:14Speaker 5: Because I was thinking about this earlier, just randomly thinking
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: about sports. Right with the NFL like basically trying to
- 1:04:20Speaker 5: take over Christmas, do you think the NBA should focus
- 1:04:23Speaker 5: more on Martin Luther King Day as being their big
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: day since it's like right after it's no more Monday
- 1:04:29Speaker 5: Night football and they can like over.
- 1:04:32Speaker 8: That's strategic they need to.
- 1:04:34Speaker 7: I would, I would, I would trying to fight the monster.
- 1:04:37Speaker 8: Now, the NFL is room at its highest level. Yeah,
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: that's actually the NFL is room. It's Egypt at its
- 1:04:43Speaker 8: highest level. If you're think about history, that's what the
- 1:04:46Speaker 8: NFL is right now, and it's going to be there
- 1:04:48Speaker 8: for a while.
- 1:04:48Speaker 7: I think, yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: You know what, Tony, you nail that. Yeah, they should
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: focus on Martin Luther King Day. That's a no brainer.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: Like in the NFL, that's a good question. No, I
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: would agree with that thousand percent took over Man Luther
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: King Day.
- 1:05:02Speaker 6: You have it.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: There's no way you're getting Christmas anymore. And if you do,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: you're gonna get blown away.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Anyways, it doesn't matter.
- 1:05:11Speaker 6: And I.
- 1:05:16Speaker 7: For sure people care more about the drama of basketball
- 1:05:19Speaker 7: than the sport of basketball.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: Well, I came up to the indiel and national drama.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: He don mind.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: But all right, and Candy obviously when I have something,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: she CHaGS it because she she's she's incredible.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: You know, we share each other's lines.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: Just like at one point on forts exchanging he said,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: in my town, but this became more complicated.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: I keep my town on the country club and we
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: just exchanged information. All right.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you one thing that we can probably
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: take it a little bit on a different level, and
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: that's this. And according in the Front Office Sports, the
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: Cowboys have started a memorial fund for Marshawn Nelon Candy
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: some thoughts about what the Dallas Cowboys are doing for
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: their late player.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: You know, it's also it's always neat when you see
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: a team rally around a cause like this or one
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: of their players that needs help, the family needs help.
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: That that I think is a true testament to the
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: hearts and the brotherhood that they have that they share
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: when they're on the same team. So I think it's it's.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Great, Tony.
- 1:06:29Speaker 6: I think it's great. It's amazing.
- 1:06:32Speaker 5: Hopefully it can bring more awareness, it will open up
- 1:06:35Speaker 5: more dialogue, you know, hopefully. I don't I didn't look
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: into it, but hopefully with the memorial it provides services
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: maybe for people who need people to talk to and
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: to get through these situations. And uh yeah, I just
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: thoughts out still to his family and stuff. You know,
- 1:06:54Speaker 5: the further you get removed from it, you think people,
- 1:06:56Speaker 5: you know, all they're better from it, are getting over it.
- 1:06:59Speaker 5: But do you know the these are the times where
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: stuff gets harder. You know now that you're getting further
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: away from the story. So hopefully this, this memorializes him
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: in a in a positive light to to be positive
- 1:07:11Speaker 5: for other people so they don't have to go that route.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Marvin.
- 1:07:15Speaker 8: Yeah, listen, anytime you have a major corporation, I want
- 1:07:20Speaker 8: to look out for one of its employees or ex
- 1:07:22Speaker 8: employees in this fashion. I think it's great. You know,
- 1:07:24Speaker 8: I'm a sucker for kindness. I think it's I think
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: it's a great move. I think it's strategic. I think
- 1:07:29Speaker 8: it's impactful and inspiring. And you know, kudos to the
- 1:07:33Speaker 8: Cowboy Organization. Jerry Jones. Listen for all the junk that
- 1:07:37Speaker 8: we talked about Jerry Jones and everything, and I'm assuming
- 1:07:39Speaker 8: he had something to do with this. I want to
- 1:07:41Speaker 8: believe he did. At least you've only heard these old
- 1:07:44Speaker 8: cool players talk good about him. You know, you really
- 1:07:46Speaker 8: have the order, dudes, Irvin Akuen. I mean they talk
- 1:07:49Speaker 8: about it. He's a control If we can all that stuff.
- 1:07:51Speaker 8: But in regards to the kind of man he is,
- 1:07:53Speaker 8: who character it's always very positive. So this kind of
- 1:07:56Speaker 8: aligns with that. I'm happy to see it. I think
- 1:07:58Speaker 8: it speaks more to like Tony said, promoting a mental
- 1:08:02Speaker 8: health and just creating awareness for that. That's a big deal.
- 1:08:05Speaker 8: That's a real thing, you know, whether you plaid football
- 1:08:07Speaker 8: or not.
- 1:08:07Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:08:08Speaker 8: So it's a great look for the NFL, great look
- 1:08:12Speaker 8: for the Dallas Cowboys, and hopefully, you know, this brings
- 1:08:15Speaker 8: awareness to people who need it.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: We're gonna go to a non sports topic, Tony, you know,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: like some of the stuff we threw out there, especially
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: with some of the stuff that Marvin and I did
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: in the first show. But this one didn't appear in
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: the first show, but a non sports contest. A campaign
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: begins for My Pillow. CEO Michael Lindella says he's.
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: Running for minutes of a governor.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, we got a pillow boy running for
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: the governor and play ten th All right, Kenny, what
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: are you talking about. I don't mind his pillows, but
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: I wear them out pretty good. But my pillow Michael
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: Lindell candy, you.
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: Know, he's been a successful come up with this stuff.
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: He's been a successful business this man with that company.
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: Does that mean does that equate to he's going to
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: be a good person for the people and that he
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: will get elected as long as he's not buying votes
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: and people are allowed to really pick and choose who
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: they really want. You know, everybody's got a voice. If
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: he wants to use his platform and run, good for him.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: Let him.
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is this is America. You
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: can land of opportunity. If that's what he wants to do,
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: let him run for governor?
- 1:09:39Speaker 6: Uh hey, is it?
- 1:09:41Speaker 7: Then?
- 1:09:42Speaker 6: Jesse the body, wasn't he the governor of Minnesota? Hey? Man,
- 1:09:48Speaker 6: give him a shot. Give the pillow guy a shot.
- 1:09:50Speaker 5: I'm be honest with you, looking at this climate of
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: climate and politics, I wouldn't want to be anything when
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: it comes to politics in Minnesota right now.
- 1:09:58Speaker 6: But if he feels like he can fix the situation,
- 1:10:01Speaker 6: more power to him.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: Man.
- 1:10:02Speaker 5: Hopefully, as long as he's a man of the people
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: and he's tried to better the situation, do you think.
- 1:10:13Speaker 8: Yeah? Sometimes, you know, sometimes I think it's a good
- 1:10:16Speaker 8: thing to hire somebody that's or elects somebody that's outside
- 1:10:20Speaker 8: of politics. But then then I'm reminded we we elected
- 1:10:25Speaker 8: a reality show god to be president and now we're
- 1:10:28Speaker 8: all on Survivor. That's that's how I feel, you know
- 1:10:30Speaker 8: what I'm saying. So I mean that. So it's kind
- 1:10:33Speaker 8: of like, you know, it could go left and could
- 1:10:35Speaker 8: go right, and that's not even political when I say that. So,
- 1:10:39Speaker 8: I don't know, Man, why not listen? I worked with
- 1:10:42Speaker 8: invenors for twenty years, and that's he's an inventor termed businessman.
- 1:10:45Speaker 8: He's been successful. I love you know, I love people
- 1:10:49Speaker 8: who step into the world of entrepreneurship and business and
- 1:10:52Speaker 8: I support that. Does that mean that he should be
- 1:10:55Speaker 8: an elected official based on what I just said about
- 1:10:58Speaker 8: our reality whole president and living in the world of Survivor.
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: Now, I don't know.
- 1:11:02Speaker 8: I don't know. Come back to me on that. Let's
- 1:11:05Speaker 8: see how this from plays out. Yea, that's said, Scott.
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: You ready, Scott? Are you frozen? Scott?
- 1:11:21Speaker 6: You there frozen? Lady lady?
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I'm here, definitely. Yeah, I want to give
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: him a shot. What the heck, Marvin?
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: When you Marvin, go ahead to plet your thought, you say,
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: why not give me a shot?
- 1:11:37Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: It's a sales and you like salespeople.
- 1:11:44Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear. Yeah. But that's the prom though.
- 1:11:47Speaker 8: That's the problem because I don't know what kind of
- 1:11:48Speaker 8: salesman is it.
- 1:11:49Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:11:50Speaker 8: That's the question. So but hey, why why not? Hey? Hey,
- 1:11:56Speaker 8: you you you invent a special pillow. You should be
- 1:11:59Speaker 8: a senator only in America, right, so why why not?
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: But he's a talesman. Just keep telling me to be one.
- 1:12:06Speaker 8: I don't like it.
- 1:12:07Speaker 7: I can't.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: I don't like it.
- 1:12:08Speaker 6: I like this.
- 1:12:11Speaker 8: In America, in America, Babby, you gotta love it.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: He's a salesman who's got selling pillows. He got me
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: to buy four of them. I'm doing anything I can
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: to solve my sleep problem, even on my pillow. Let's
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: just he don't put people to sleep over in Minnesota
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: where it gets really cold. You have that have a
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: lot of feaders and other pillow. Baby, I'm telling you, hey,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: you know what we've seen crazier people run for offices.
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: And governor tells me you got actors and actresses and
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: wrestlers out there, why not give a pillow Inventoran shot
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: out in Minnesota?
- 1:12:44Speaker 6: All right?
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: Well, you know what.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: I'm not in the business to give restaurants suggestions, but
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. There's one in Tampa I haven't
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: been to and said, I don't have black Rock to
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: go anymore. I'll tell you what. I haven't been to
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: Burn Steakhouse. Any everybody ever been to Burn Steakhouse? And
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: before I hear that's rated as one of the top
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: one hundred restaurants in America. Katie, want to check out
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: Burn Steakhouse. But anybody up and out there, I've heard
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: of it. It spelled deer and aposophy as Burn Steakhouse.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: So no black Rock will have to hit Burns when
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: it's out there. It's one of the bigger, fancier estate
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: places in the Tampa Bay area. So with that said,
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: we're making really good on time and normally don't do
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: this when I'm going to do it tonight, Katie, give
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: me some party shots anything that we haven't talked about.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: You want to get off your chest?
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: Can I talk about a very recent trade that just
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: took place?
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: Yeah, go on, well, I mean again, I said, party shot,
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to trade Ace Freddie Peralta
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: two the new York Mets in exchange for top prospects,
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: and they have included right hander Tobias Myers so peralta.
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: He's twenty nine, He's in the final year of his
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: team control and would become a free agent next offseason.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: The Mets beat out crowded field of suitors. The Yankees
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: wanted him, the Dodgers, the Braves, the Red Sox, and
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: yet the Mets got them. So some people, some of
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: the teams, the top teams keep spending money, and some
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: of the teams have quite the same payrolls. I have
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: traded away some of their top people.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Well, Pat Murphy's going to have his hands full when
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: it comes to this coming year as a lot of
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: these better players drop off. Tony, you're obviously a regular
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: person on the Batball Show. Why don't you give us
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: your observations about this trade.
- 1:14:48Speaker 5: Oh, lord, Candy, don't start talking about spending money. Eric
- 1:14:50Speaker 5: going to hear is a pop on.
- 1:14:52Speaker 8: Oh it's something on Saturday.
- 1:14:56Speaker 6: Yeah, it's something that Mats really needed to do. They
- 1:14:58Speaker 6: were trying out.
- 1:14:59Speaker 5: It look like they were gonna pull out a rotation
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: full of guys like twenty four and younger. They needed
- 1:15:04Speaker 5: like some kind of veteran stability.
- 1:15:06Speaker 6: But it's the Mets.
- 1:15:07Speaker 7: Man.
- 1:15:07Speaker 5: We have a saying in my group chat, the Mets
- 1:15:10Speaker 5: are gonna met it, so literally as this happened, I

- 1:15:57Speaker 8: the football season is really hard. Baseball, man, I love

- 1:20:07Speaker 1: uh well maybe one, or she's gonna do Fire Up.
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: I think Archie Candy and up in Alabama.

- 1:20:19Speaker 4: All.
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: I take everybody for joining us, right, I know we
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: were all over the map, as Candy put in the title,
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: from the football field of the basketball court and everything
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: in between. Right, Candy, well everything in between. We definitely
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: went out there and lived up to that toty. One
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: last thing I'm gonna ask you real quick before we
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: go off, and Marvin and I talked about this earlier.
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: You know, the Venezuelan Little League team was actually denying
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: a visa for a tournament.
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about that?
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: Is?
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: Is?
- 1:20:54Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, see, I'm about to make me cut Scott.
- 1:20:57Speaker 6: It's terrible.
- 1:20:59Speaker 7: One thing like even during the Cold War, right, we
- 1:21:02Speaker 7: were able.
- 1:21:03Speaker 5: To go to Russia or like you know, play against
- 1:21:05Speaker 5: like just certain teams like this is is getting ridiculous.
- 1:21:09Speaker 5: Hopefully they can figure it out. But we have somebody
- 1:21:12Speaker 5: who's very petty and very I can't use another word,
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: but petty. That's that's stopping things like this. So it's
- 1:21:20Speaker 5: it's unfair to the keys man. And hopefully I can
- 1:21:22Speaker 5: figure it out.
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: Soon, okay, Wan just want to make sure we talked
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: about it on earlier show. I thought I go ahead
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: and mention it to Tony so that won't make And
