  Speaker 3: What a weekend. Taylor, what a weekend. I am dizzy.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: I'm exhausted. And that was just from Saturday.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: That's sauce gardener there's always something up with sauce gardener
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: more like soft gardener.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: That trade keeps looking better and better i can't believe
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: i'm saying this but the jets did something right the.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Jets gm has earned another year no doubt i don't
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: think aaron glenn has no muji the gm has definitely
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: earned another year.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Aaron glenn is not even acting like he wants another
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: year i'm serious The idea that he doesn't know that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: his team doesn't have the ball to start the second
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: half and he comes off the field during the first half,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: gives an interview and acts like his team does have
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the ball.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not certain Aaron Glenn wants to be the head
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: coach of the Jets.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I think it's a very simple solution when it comes
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: to Aaron Glenn, because I think you're right. I think
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn knows he's in way over his head.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: And some people were just born to be coordinators. Aaron
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Glenn was one of them who was born to be
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: a coordinator. The Jets defense still to their credit is good.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I think if at the end of the season, you
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: just go to Aaron Glenn and you say, Aaron, thank
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: you for your work as head coach. We'd like to
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: make you the defensive coordinator. I think Aaron Glenn signs
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: up for that.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: A demotion. Yes.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I think Aaron Glenn looks at himself in the mirror
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: and says, I'm not cut out to be the head coach.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: I love this Jets organization. I know I'm not the
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: best man for the job. I will be the defensive
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: coordinator here.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think I agree with you.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: We have the weekend observations coming up here in about
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: 10 minutes. We'll bring in Bear and T-Bob for our
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: number two to discuss what was maybe the best college football.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Saturday of all time.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But first, we have Taylor's top 10 power rankings from
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Give me the music. So I know you wanted Dan
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Byer near a microphone.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Was that for Dan just to comment on your top
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: 10 from the NFL?
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like Dan's feedback on my top 10.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, Dan, you there?
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I am here, guys.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Are you excited for this? I have never wanted anything
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: more in my life.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: All right. Again, this is Taylor's top 10 power ranking
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: from the NFL. All right. Come on. Yeah, I'm excited.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I am. You seem to be faking it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: I've got a pen and paper in front of me.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: I've got a pen and paper in front of me.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: My only question, are we going 10 to 1, or
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: are we going 1 to 10? 10 to 1.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: 10 to 1.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: 10 to 1, yes.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: We need to build up to number 1, although that's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a fair question because you never know around here. So
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a fair question. All right, Taylor, take it away. We
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: have the NFL music, the Fox music behind you. The
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: floor is yours.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Number 10. The Minnesota Vikings, they have a great defense.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: There's no denying that with the Vikings sitting at 5-0.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I want to see the Vikings against a quarterback with
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: a pulse, though.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so do I. J.J.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: McCarthy, another quarterback that the quarterback whisperer has let go
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and did good things at the end of the game
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for the Giants. It might be their starter next week.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I can't figure that team out. They're undefeated.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Dan, how do you feel about that?
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Well, I have a question for Taylor. Did you make
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: the top 10 and then realize, oh, yeah, the Vikings
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: were on by? I got to include them in my
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: top 10 because they're undefeated? Or is this just a
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: solid 10 spot for Minnesota?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: They're just a solid 10 spot. There are teams that
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I wanted to include over them, but... One of the
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: only undefeated teams in the NFL. I said, I have
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to give the Vikings their credit. They're number 10. You
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: got to put them in the top third. So what
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: do you want to see him do? What was the
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: point again? I want to see how they look against
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: a quarterback with a pulse.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: So they play the Colts this week, which is not
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the best test. But then you look up their upcoming schedule.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Lions, Bills, Packers.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. But they played the Packers already and beat them.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Second half.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: They played Chicago. I believe Caleb Williams was healthy for
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: that game. Rainy. They held them to three points.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: In the rain.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: They hurt Caleb Williams.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yes. And then they put, well, yes. Not making fun
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: of quarterback injuries, did it?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And then they played Tyler Shuck at a time where
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I think Shuck was the hottest quarterback going in the NFL.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: One of them, at least. And they held him to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: 13 points. But you want to see more? Yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Mainly Josh Allen.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: They play him in a couple of weeks.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Number nine.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: The Houston Texans at two and four.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: They're good.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Dan, what, what this boils down to for me, there
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: are not five quarterbacks in football. I'd take over CJ
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Stroud right now.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know if it's five, but yes, CJ
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Stroud was never the problem in Houston.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: I think yesterday shows it. He's the reason that they won.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. What do you think? It's six.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Maybe, um, Seven.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Eight. Yeah, eight.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: We'll say eight.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Because you would take Drake May over C.J. Stroud. Is
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that debatable?
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: That's debatable.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Not so sure.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: All right. But we would take Josh Allen. Yes, of course.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: We would take Lamar Jackson. Yes, of course. Yes. You
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: would take Joe Burrow. Yes. Yes. You would take Trevor Lawrence. No. No.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But you would take Patrick Mahomes. Yes.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: That's four.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Okay. You would take, let me scroll down here. You
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: would take Caleb Williams. Debatable.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, debatable.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Brock Purdy.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Debatable.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Wow. Maybe five sounds right.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I think I nailed that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Stafford. I put Stafford.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, come on, Dan.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know after yesterday, but I put Stafford on
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: that list.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: So five, six, seven, somewhere in that range.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Pretty good.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Number eight for me.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Of course. Don't you dare. How about Darnold? No.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, Nick's definitely not.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Eight.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Number eight on the NFL power rankings. The Green Bay Packers.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: I was impressed with the Green Bay Packers Sunday night
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: football against the Cowboys. It feels like their offense has
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the ability to carve up defenses. And that's with receivers
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: dropping a lot of passes there in Green Bay.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Golden and Watson.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Right now, is that tandem, they could be top five
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: in the NFL in wide receiver tandems.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: They could be. We're six, seven, somewhere.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Chase Higgins. Go through the list.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Nakua and Devontae Adams.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Amun Ra, Jamison Williams. Five sounds about right. Yeah, it
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: sounds about right, yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I can't believe he got us on CJ Stroud. He's right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gatz and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Company live weekdays at 3 p.m. Eastern, 12 p.m.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Pacific. Seven.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Number seven. The Jacksonville Jaguars coming back from London this week.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: If we get that version of Travis Hunter every Sunday,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I like the potential of this Jaguars team. If Liam
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Cohn could just get out of his way and start
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: kicking field goals early in that first half, that's the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: guy that you traded up for, that version of Travis Hunter.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: No doubt. So you have the Jaguars at seven who
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: lost to the Texans. At nine. But they're two and four,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and the Jaguars are what, four and two? Yep. Okay.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: This is body of work. Body of work.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yes. I like it. All right. Number six.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: The Carolina Panthers.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, I love this team.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: So Bryce Young, it feels like that was the bad
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Bryce Young game yesterday. And if you look at Bryce
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Young stats, if that's now the new benchmark for a
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: bad game from Bryce Young. Carolina takes that every time,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: where he's the first quarterback since 2013 when Peyton Manning
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: and Drew Brees did it to throw for 280-plus passing
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: yards and a touchdown in each of his team's first
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: five games of a season. Bryce Young playing at an
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: MVP level.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Would you take Bryce over?
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: CJ Stroud?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Debatable.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Same draft class.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Dan?
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Give me Stroud.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I think you're right.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It is amazing, though, fairly amazing that Bryce Young who
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: was criticized because he got out of the gate slowly.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: He was too small. He wasn't big enough. I was
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: actually terrified at times for Bryce Young out there. It
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is fairly amazing that 281 yards and two touchdowns is
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: an average game for Bryce Young.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: That's where he's arrived, Dan. It's pretty funny.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: They've got weapons for sure.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: They're also playing against the defense yesterday that looked like
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: they were extras in Silver Linings Playbook 2, the sequel.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: No one knew their names. They didn't look real. There
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: were numbers that you had never seen before.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Pierce?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Yes. McKee? What is this? Yes, in his defense, he
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: does that against every defense, though. He does.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: He's good. He did. Sunday Night Football, Lions, we saw it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yep. Number five, Taylor.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Number five, the New England Patriots.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: We're getting a confident Drake May now coming off three
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: straight wins. It's going to take some time for A.J.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Brown to get up to speed, but come on.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Do we think A.J.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Brown just forgot how to catch the football? I think
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: he'll be all right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I think he might have.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: This is the one where I scratch my head. I'm
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: thinking there's got to be some bias on number five.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: I thought we were objective up until five. Four and two.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Dan, can you put a guy who's dropping every single pass, A.J.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Brown, can you put him on your hands team?
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: The Jets. Hey, nice cover by the Jets yesterday. Thank
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: you very much.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, they left the back door wide open. The Jets.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Jump right through it. They're close.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Some of the Raiders, by the way. Yes. They're close.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Number four here, Taylor.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: So my number four team is playing tonight. It's the
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: San Francisco 49ers sitting at 5-0.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: They're at number four because it's an incomplete body of
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: work right now. There's a good chance that they would
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: move up after the Monday Night Football game.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: But the trend recently in these primetime games have been
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: the underdogs winning. So we have one eye on the commanders.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: And I just don't really think the injuries are sustainable
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: for this 49ers team.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Dan, I can't see you, but I can
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: hear your confusion all the way in Sherman Oaks, California.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Because I, too, am confused. The body of work, that's
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: what got you, right?
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, surprised just because a win over the commanders or
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: the quarterback with one arm and they don't know how
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: to control the clock or do time management would be
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: worth jumping up three spots if they were to get
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: that win tonight. That just seems like a pretty low
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: bar for the 49ers if they were to jump up
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: to their top spot.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Not their fault they don't create the schedule. It's not
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: their fault that the body of work is incomplete. They
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: have a Monday night game tonight.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Dan, you would agree, though, the 49ers injuries, it doesn't
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: seem sustainable. Like, it feels like we're going to get
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: to the playoffs and they're going to have a patchwork
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: team and be like, oh, this is this is Shanahan's
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: excuse for why they crash out of the playoffs.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're old as hell, too. Like, I mean, like,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: they're just old.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: And so at some point to think that that's going
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: to last throughout an 18 week, 17 game schedule. There's
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: a reason why they're always hurt. Like a lot of
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: guys are just old. They beat the Rams. They beat Denver.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: They beat Seattle on the road. Don't ask a Seahawks fan.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: OK, Donald turned it over four times. All right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Number three.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: My number three team this week in Taylor's top 10
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: NFL power rankings. The Buffalo Bills. We love that quarterback.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: All our metrics say Josh Allen is the best quarterback
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. Now they're a little, they would have
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: been higher if they would just cut CJ Gardner Johnson.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Cause I'm tired of CJ Gardner Johnson and such a
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Bush league player. Yeah.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Suspended one game.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Just came down.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: So the bills are at three. The Vikings are at 10.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, all right, anyway, go ahead. It's your list.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Number two, my number two team in the NFL this week.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: The Chicago bears. Now you're coming around. So Dan, in
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: the two games that Caleb Williams has started and finished,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: the bears have averaged 45 points per game.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: He's good.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: It's pretty good. Yes.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: It's a really good point to the Vikings point. Caleb
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Williams basically played like 95% of that game.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Just got carted off.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: But it doesn't count because he didn't complete it. So
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: it doesn't fall into the average.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: And bad weather, which is why the Vikings are a 10.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Doesn't help my stat. He has the Vikings at.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: 10 who are undefeated. The Bears who have a couple
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of losses. The Vikings beat him head to head. The
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Vikings at 10 and the Bears at two. I like it, Taylor.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Proud of you.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Number one. Number one.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's any surprises here. I think the
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: AFC is going through Kansas City and my number one
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: team is Is the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: We gave them Kenneth Walker, a move that we will
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: rue for the rest of eternity.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Dan, if I told you six weeks into the season
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that anyone was creating a ridiculous top 10 like Taylor
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: just created, that the Rams would be left out of it,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you would have told me what?
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: I would have said you were nuts.

  Speaker 1: All right, we will bring in T-Bob and the Bear
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in hour number two to recap what was an amazing
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: college football Saturday. The team, the coach that you were
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: happiest to see lose.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox. That is 877-99 on Fox. We'll get
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: to the NBA.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: In fact, Taylor, put this on the poll if you
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: don't mind.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Did you know the NBA season starts tomorrow?
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: And also, why is it starting at 3 p.m. Eastern
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: on a Tuesday?
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: It's weird.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Celtics-Pistons. Last time I checked, the Pistons are— Eastern time zone.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: So who is that game for the 3 p.m. Eastern game?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I have no idea because you don't have the NFL
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to contend with. You don't have college football to contend with.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: You do have 76ers Knicks. They want to put that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: at seven o'clock on Peacock. But again, Why are the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Celtics and Pistons kicking off the season at three?
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Are they playing somewhere else?
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: As far as I could see, right? Cause that was
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: my first thought.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Is this game in Spain? Is this game? Are we
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: doing the international games? Is this game in London? Are
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: we trying to grow the game?
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: It's tipping off from the little Caesars arena in Detroit.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is. I just looked it up.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: This feels very greedy of the NBA trying to squeeze
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: a third game in here.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I agree. I agree.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, sports leagues are greedy because they can
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: get away with it because we'll be there watching and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: betting on it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: And that's what we do.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Was there a team before we get to the NBA,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the GMs, they pull the GMs before the season.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Who's the best team? Who's going to be the MVP?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Was there a team or a coach that you were
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: happiest to see lose over the weekend, college or the NFL?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: It's a good question. Yes, that you were happiest to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: see lose. For me, it was Cignetti.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not there with Cignetti, really. For me, it
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: would probably be Georgia because Georgia was coming off that
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: massive win against Alabama where you watch the Georgia-Alabama game and...
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: It feels like the consensus was those are the two
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: best teams in college football, and both of those two
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: teams got served up some humble pie this weekend.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: They did. I'm going to say it again. I said
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: it during one of our podcasts this morning.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: If you're an Indiana fan, you have no business looking
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that distraught because your football team lost a close game
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: at home to Ohio State. You don't have the right
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to do it. Just be happy you're relevant. Just be
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: happy the game was close. Just be happy you're the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: defending national champions with a chance to go to the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: playoff again. I don't want to see looks like I
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: saw at Indiana in Bloomington, like they have some storied
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: history and this game meant so much to them that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: they are so distraught that Indiana lost a football game.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I don't want to hear it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Walk out of the stadium, head held high, with a
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: big smile, and celebrate the losses like they were a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: victory because they are victories, small victories, because Ohio State
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: normally every year before last year, they would have beaten
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you by 40 points. Anyway, what are the NBA GMs
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: saying about the upcoming season here, Taylor?
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: So the first question that they were polled, which team
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: will win the 2027 NBA Finals? Last year, the Oklahoma
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: City Thunder got 80% of the vote.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, and how many votes did they get last year?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: How many votes did the Spurs get last year?
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: So this is just telling me that the Thunder got 80%
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: of the vote.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So there's like a pie chart between all the other
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: teams that people thought maybe the Celtics, maybe some other.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: So this year I have.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: The percentage that the number one team got the number
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: two team got, and then there's just others receiving votes.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Okay. I know where this is headed. All right.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Who do the GMs feel like is the, we'll give
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: us the second favorite here.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: The Oklahoma City Thunder, 43%.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, so 43%. So the other percentage went to San Antonio?
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: San Antonio Spurs got 50%. So that is 93%. The
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: others receiving votes, the New York Knicks trying to defend
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: their title.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: That's nice.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: And then the LeBron James factor with the Philadelphia 76ers.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: And that bothers you? Yes.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: It doesn't bother me. Like, I think this Knicks team
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: is kind of coming under the radar, which is crazy
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: because we are the loudest, most obnoxious fan base.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So you're saying you like that none of the GMs
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: are selecting the Knicks. So the Knicks, it's like a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: little chip on their shoulder, right? Oh, we won the championship.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: We were in others receiving votes a year ago, if
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: indeed they were. This year again, after winning the championship
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and beating San Antonio and We are still in others
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: receiving votes, and you think this is a good thing
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: for the Knicks, and I don't disagree, by the way.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I think we're going to stroll into the finals again
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: this year because we're going to run through this Eastern Conference,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: and we're going to be the plucky underdogs again.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Yes. How much are you going to enjoy tomorrow night?
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: They raised that banner. I mean. Oh, man.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: My only regret is that Victor Weminyama won't be in
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: the building.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but LeBron will.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, LeBron would have chosen the Knicks.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: And Bede will.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Quick trip for LeBron tomorrow, right? From whatever apartment he
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: has in New York City to the Garden. Doesn't even
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: have to take the helicopter.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: It's the dream.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: He'd prefer the game be played at the Mecca that
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: in Philly.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: That's so disrespectful to the city of Philadelphia. LeBron James,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: he might never step foot in the city of Philadelphia
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: outside of Sixers game.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Days, meaning he won't leave that arena. Yes. Because the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: helicopter lands right at the arena. He gets out. He
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: gets into the arena. He goes out of the arena right.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Back into the helicopter and right back to New York City,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the place he would have went to had the Knicks
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: not won an NBA title a year ago.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: You asked LeBron, like, LeBron, are you a Geno's or
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Pat's guy? He goes, are those restaurants in Manhattan?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Will LeBron ever know what Geno's or Pat's is?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: There's no way.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: No, I'm with you. It's odd that he would choose
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a city to play in that he doesn't want to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: live in.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: It just is.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: College football with the Bear and T-Bob next.
