  Speaker 1: The Volume. What is going on, my people? How are
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we doing? John Middlecoff, Three and Out Podcast. Hopefully everyone
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: is doing well. I think this is the longest Sunday
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of my football career. I woke up right as Dom
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was escorting Jeremiah Trotter Jr., the son, to the locker
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: room getting ejected. Watched that game, then watched the next
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: sets of games in the morning and the afternoon, then
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the night game, recorded a podcast with Coward. Now we're
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: going to record a podcast on the Sunday night game.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Props to Snoop Huntley. My man got hot. Fighting Utah Utes.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Some thoughts there. The Falcons and everything that transpired today.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Coaching blunders. The Niners-Seattle game. Ben Johnson, a little humble
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: pie from LeFleur. Don't sleep on the Vikings. They're playing
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: some ball. 5-0. What else? We got a lot going
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: on today. Mike Ditka, RIP. Just a couple quick college thoughts,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and we'll get ready for the big Monday night football game,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Bills at the Rams, which is a fantastic Monday night game.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And my Sooners, well, I adopted them about a decade ago.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Got a big win against Texas in the Red River.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So you guys know the drill. I recorded a podcast
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: with Colin. You can hear that on the feed. If
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you listen on the feed to hear this podcast, subscribe
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to 3 and Out. We're up on Netflix. I did
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: an instant reaction video on YouTube right after the Niner-Seattle
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: game as well. So you can check that out. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: let's just dive right into the Fighting Ravens without Lamar.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And I think the most fascinating thing about backup quarterback
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: play is some individuals get overhyped because the coach really
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: likes them. And part of being a backup quarterback... is
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: like your character and who you are as a person,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: because you don't play, starts to outweigh what you actually
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: play like. Because as a head coach, especially a lot
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of these head coaches are now play callers, spend so
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: much time around that human being. And it's easy. It's like,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: look at all these backup quarterbacks. They're really easy to like.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And then they have to play as people. They're just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: usually married, first guy in the building, great teammates, know
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the security guard and the cafeteria worker. They're just guys
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that if they weren't doing what they were doing, it's like, ah,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: they'd probably be the CEO at the bank. They're just
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: high-level cats. But there's NFL football. It's like, can you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: actually play? And so a lot of them get the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: opportunity to play And then they struggle. And some of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: these guys are former failed starters that transition. But Huntley
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is just, you're rare. I watched him in college for Whittingham,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and I never thought in a million years he could
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL. And then if you're just watching
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: him at a certain time when he's filling in for Lamar,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: which is a problem for the Ravens. I know they
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: won tonight, and it's a fantastic win. But the gap,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and this is the same, you know, Mahomes, Josh Allen.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's like when Steph Curry's out for the Warriors. It's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: like if they're playing a real team, they don't have
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a snowball chance in hell. Like this thing's over before
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it even begins. And it feels like that with Lamar,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the gap when Snoop or they've had other backup quarterbacks
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: over the years. Snoop's been there for a while. It's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like this is pretty dramatic. Because I think if Lamar
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: plays tonight, they win that game by 10 points pretty easily.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we're in control of the game instead of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: playing catch-up. And listen, he had some balls dropped on him.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, and being the backup for Lamar
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is like, you probably aren't just going to have Mac
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Jones as your backup. It's always weird with the Eagles
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: who just cut Andy Dalton, partly because they're going to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: keep Lane Johnson in the 53 so they can not
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: eat the dead cap. You have to talk to a capologist,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: but clearly they got rid of Andy Dalton. And for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: other guys, Andy Dalton's not going to be Lamar's backup.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So Snoop Huntley is like... The way, way shittier version
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of Lamar. And if you're watching a certain series like
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: this guy is not very good. No feel for the pocket.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Just not a very good player. And then the games
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: on the line on the road against a team who
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: over the last two weeks has looked like a 100%
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: playoff team. Leads him right down to the field for
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. Send him into overtime. It was like, did
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: he really just do that? And then in overtime, boom,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: right down the field for the game winner. You're like,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: how did this just happen? And I think sometimes, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it used to be like this when I worked in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: personnel and I talked to my buddies. Sometimes you get
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: buttheads with coaches because they really value, listen, this guy
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: fits our system slash we really like this guy. And
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: personnel people by nature, it's like a dude who hits
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the clubs or the bars every night. You're always looking
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: for the next best thing. Like you're always trying to upgrade.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: literally the job of a front office. But there's a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: balance of like the right type people in your building
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and not every player upgrade is necessarily an upgrade because
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: maybe he lacks the intangibles. But for whatever reason, Huntley
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with the Ravens I mean, just kind of works. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I think if you put him anywhere else, like for
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: as bad as Hurts is, you'd go, yeah, there's some similarities.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Like could Huntley just be Hurts' backup? If you think
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the Eagles offense is bad with Jalen, if you put
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Huntley there, they could have a game where they had
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: negative yards. Like total. Over the 60 minutes. So it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just incredible, the fit, clearly the intangibles, right? Because it's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: not like John Harbaugh's long gone. Declan Doyle's his coach.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And when push came to shove, the organizational competitive character
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that they've built for 25 years just shows itself. And
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: he's a guy that they've developed over the years that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: just fits in. And no matter what you're saying about
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: him or tweeting about him in the middle of the game,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: When all the cards were on the table and everything's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on the line, he just came through. He flipped a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: royal flush and got them a massive win, and now
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they're 4-1. Anytime you win when you have one of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the league who's on the side
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in street clothes, which again, they're going to have to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: find a way, big picture. I thought Lamar was playing
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: so well this season. of just keeping them on the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: field because they're clearly really dangerous. One of the reasons,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and I took the Ravens tonight, is I'm like, well,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Jesse Minter's so good that he's just going to be
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: able to slow down Bijon. And I was texting with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: an assistant coach earlier this week, and his team played Bijon.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And he was telling me, this is an offensive coach,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: but he's like, even if I was, I don't know
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: what you can really call, he's that good. He thought
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he was the best player in the league. And you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: could argue against them. He kind of was. But, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you watch him tonight. When Jesse Minter, a lead defensive coach,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: he's not going to run for 180. And he didn't. Now,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it could have been worse if Penix would have hit
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: him on the little dump off, you know, late in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the game when, you know, you pressured him. And that's,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you know, the one thing you see with Penix is like,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: clearly he is, I don't know where if he peaked,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he would end up in the league like, Could he
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: ever get to like the DAC, Jared Goff? Probably not.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Could he be like what Tua was pre-concussions? When we
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: all acknowledge like this guy's a starter who can take
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you to the playoffs, probably put him in there. And
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I was a pro-Penix guy. But once I see you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: against NFL people and just for whatever reason, like, He
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: clearly got hit really hard. I'm not trying to be
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a hard-o. But if you just watch football today, Saturday,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the entire season, a lot of quarterbacks get tackled like that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And one major question mark with him, twice so many
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: people I knew on the scouting trails, that I'd be like, yeah,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this was before he went eighth. But I was like,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's a first-rounder. Most of my friends who
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: have Super Bowl rigs, they're like, bro, I wouldn't touch
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: this guy in the first round. And it all got
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: back to, he had a million injuries. He was just
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: not a very durable player throughout the course of his career.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And you watch him tonight, like, he gets hurt, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they unravel. Tua's got to come in, and in overtime,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he throws a pick, which felt like one of the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: most predictable things you will ever see. And I would
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: say their quarterback room, because of the question mark of, like,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: how many games Michael Panik's going to be able to play?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And even Collinsworth and Tirico said it, like, that... The
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: question mark with this guy, because he's proven, like, he's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a solid NFL player. Can he just stay on the field?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And then when he's finally on the field, it's like, God,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: he's kind of just getting his career going. Can't even
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: finish the game because he gets lit up. And then
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: it's just like, did he just break his ribs? Is
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: now he going to miss a ton of games? Are
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: they going to have to start Tua? They will not
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: win any games without Tua. No team in the league
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: who could be a playoff team. Maybe I'm wrong. I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: have to do a deeper dive on this. But I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: don't feel there's a bigger drop off to like Pennix
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is in there's a solid team they could win 9-10
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: games they're clearly pretty solid right we all agree with
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that when Pennix is playing you remove Pennix you'll be
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: like I'll pick them to lose every week like if
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you tell me I don't even know who they're playing
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: next week but like if two is their starter we'll
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all just pick them to lose right Whether they're playing
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the Bills or the Niners or, well, the Titans. We'd
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: have a discussion on that one. But just middle-of-the-road team, right?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: You would pick them to lose. And it's a problem.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I was wondering if Collinsworth, because I was eating dinner inside,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and I usually record a little inside baseball. Do a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: bunch of recording. By the time I got off, even tonight,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it was like mid-second quarter. So I usually go into
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the house, sit down, see the family, have a game on,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: eat dinner probably after halftime. And Collinsworth dropped a, Drake
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: London reminds me so much of Mike Evans. And my wife,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: who loves the 49ers, she's like, he's like Mike Evans?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I said he was like Mike Evans. That
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was my comp. Which is a good comp. I like
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Drake Lennon a lot. And the problem for him is
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: if Penix isn't playing, I don't know if the ball
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: is going to find him as much. So congrats to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the Ravens. That was a gritty... That was impressive. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: your backup quarterback on the road. Place was rocking. You're down.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You must have drive. And they just got it done.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: So I was... I didn't have the Ravens making the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: playoffs when the season started. If Lamar's healthy, they're clearly
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a playoff team. And if Huntley's got to play, I mean,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: they could lose any game, but they could also win them.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: They're just a complete unknown. And I got a lot
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of respect for that guy. I really do. Because not
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in a million years when I was watching him play
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: at Utah, I would have envisioned that. That was a
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: long time ago. Definitely not envisioned this many years into
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: his career. There's something to be said. We talk a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: lot about organizations. It's a powerful thing. We've all been
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: young people after college, after high school. Your environments really
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: shape you. Most human beings, I've said this forever, are
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: not leaders. Most people don't just like graduate college and go,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start my own company, right? Even if you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: end up with an entrepreneurial side to you, you usually
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: get your feet wet and figure things out. Most people
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: don't have the balls, the self-assurance, just the, I would say,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the cojones. I'm gonna take some balls. Most of us
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just kind of follow early on and the majority of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: us our whole life. And I'm just blown away by
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the culture that the Ravens create of a bunch of badasses.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: They've been doing it for a long time. Let's dive in.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Let's fire around the league because a lot happened today. Overall, today,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: if you remove Niners Seattle... And the endings of like Jags, Eagles,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and I'll give the Giants commanders the fourth quarter. Steelers-Colts
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: was not bad. Jalen Warren made that pretty exciting. A
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: lot of bad football today. I mean, there was Jets-Browns.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: If you aren't a fan of either one of those
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: two teams and didn't have anyone in fantasy and didn't
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: gamble on the game, You will never know that game happened.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: They can erase that from NFL films. Titans, Texans, I mean,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: today was rough. But it is going to be defined
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: by two endings, two games. We'll dive into the Niners,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Seattle here in a second. I did, it's a reaction,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: we threw that up on the YouTube page on Sunday
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: night at halftime of the Sunday night game. But, I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: do think that Sirianni, we'll start with him, because I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: actually think Sirianni's was the less egregious of the two
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: NFC coaches, which were both pretty insane. One was Dan
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Quinn's fireable offense. If by the time you're listening to this,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: if Dan Quinn is unemployed, would make total sense. That
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: is something that gets people fired who are already on
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the hot seat. That wouldn't get John Harbaugh fired. it
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: wouldn't get Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay fired. But if
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you are on shaky ground, that is like a major
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: earthquake coming, splitting it and you falling down and it
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: being over. But I want to start with Sirianni, who...
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: The Eagles are a really tough watch as well. I mean,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the amount of series they have where it is just
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: like no yards, negative five yards, two yards... It is
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: just tough. And I understand they got new offensive linemen
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: in there. I understand they're missing some key offensive pieces.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: But holy cannoli are they just like watching paint dry.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is rough. And the tush push is dead.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Like that is just retired. It's just like put that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: thing six feet under and it ain't never coming back.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the game, with whatever, was
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it nine, ten seconds left, when they kicked off, you
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: can't tell me, especially inside that building, the Cowboys situation
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: is just top of mind. Even though it's like, well,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that was actually a different situation because they had a timeout.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: This is not college. Like anyone that watched a lot
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of football, even just yesterday, you get in some of
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: these late game situations. Even if you only have one timeout,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you actually got more than that because the clock stops
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: at every first down. Well, even if I kick the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: ball out of bounds, so not into the end zone,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I'm talking out of bounds, which I'm pretty sure not
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Dean Blandino here, they get the ball at the 40-yard line.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Even if I just shake it out of bounds, you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: get the ball at the 40-yard line. I don't think
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you can beat me. Because unless I give up like
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a 15 yard out route, which I would guard against,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: be like, I'll give you a middle of the field completion.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I will tackle you in the middle of the field
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and you won't be able to get up on the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: line and spike it. You won't have enough time. And
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: obviously Sirianni wore it because how could he not? It's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: clearly his mistake. Jake Elliott, I saw the clip said
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: after the game that I just did what I was
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: told to do. And it's just one of those that
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I do wonder, we talk a lot about players with this.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: When I recorded the podcast earlier today with Colin, we
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: talked a lot about Drake May. And I heard this
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: saying a long time ago. When you have confidence, you
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: never feel like you're going to lose it. Especially with
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: young players. And once it's gone, you never feel like
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it's coming back. And it can ebb and flow fast.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I think most human beings in most roles... especially pressure-packed roles,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: public roles. Isn't that kind of true? Like, you gain
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: confidence through having success when things are going well. Now,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: once you hit a little adversity, if you have a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: lot of experience having success and having confidence, you can
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: reach back on that and not lose it and battle through. Right?
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Kalen Dubor losing that game to Kirby. It's not going
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to derail their season. Or if Kirby had lost. Not
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: going to ruin him. Whoever lost over Kyle Shanahan and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald today in the game, it's not going to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: derail their season. But you can't convince me that it's
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Sirianni now. Because, I don't know if you saw these clips,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: there's like El Nino coming in. And it was actually
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: raining when I walked out to the office after the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Sunday night game. Or before the game, like coming from overtime.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So the hurricane is actually working its way up to Arizona,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: up to Vegas. And there were these clips on like
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Saturday of these huge waves in like Long Beach, Laguna Beach,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Newport Beach getting crushed because of the storm. And I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: think anytime you get the storm wave, the power of it, right,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of negativity when it comes to a coach, like LaFleur
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: kind of just put a Band-Aid on that right now
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that stopped all the bleeding. Now, it doesn't end it all.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: But right now, it just stops. You can't say anything.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He just beat the shit out of the Bears. Sirianni
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: has had this tidal wave of negativity since the middle
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of last season. They've changed coaches under him and all,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but he's still the head guy. He's still the guy
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that does a press conference. Conference call Monday, press conference Wednesday,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: press conference Friday, press conference after the game. He literally
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: speaks for the team all season long. He's the head coach.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So you go off last season when nothing's working. And
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you're just a CEO, like Dan Quinn, right? So you're not,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it's not like you're making these crazy moves in game.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You're just not. You're just kind of standing there. But
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the result of the game, which is the opposite of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: anyone that's watched any of Nick Saban's stuff, and you
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: don't need to watch the documentary to know his number
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: one thing is like a whole thing about football is
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the process, the process, the process. Sirianni's success right now
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: is all determined by Off wins and losses. And right now,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: it's just constant losses. The way the season ended and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: really unraveled last year, all the way into this season,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it's like a carbon copy. So then, I've been in
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: this situation. When I get really worked up or I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: get down on myself, we've all been there. You just
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: have to straight. Because anyone with just like a working
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: brain would go, don't kick this thing in the end zone. Now,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: maybe the kicker fucks up and does it anyway. Or,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't kick this thing to the return. Just
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: blast it in the end zone. But what if all
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: this losing and lack of success, he's just lost any
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: clarity what he had up top? Because to me, that
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: was like, I feel like he's just lost. Like anyone
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that plays golf, like when you've just lost your swing,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you know, or it's like you're having a date in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: a while. You're like, I don't even know how to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: talk to chicks. That's what it feels like Sirianni right now.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It's like, what does he even do? He's at a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: loss for answers on a weekly basis. And then you
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: get him in an in-game situation. It's like, I don't
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: even think he knows what's going on now. And even
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: if he did, his brain can't process it. Because that
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: was insane. That's one of the worst losses I've ever
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: seen until I saw the following loss. I need to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: tell you about this new sports trading app called Polymarket.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: It's the best way to trade in sports. In the past,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: if you wanted some action on the game, you'd put
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: some money in. And if your team was doing well
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and you wanted to cash out, they'd lock the trade
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and take a huge fee. But Polymarket is a prediction market.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: It's a stock exchange for sports. Buying in and selling
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: out on your terms. When your team goes down to 20%,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you can buy in and sell it off at 40%
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: when they come back, double your money. I've tried them all.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Polymarket is simply the best. We're talking DraftKings, FanDuel, Couchy,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you name it. Polymarket's better. They're so confident you'll never
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: go back to the other guys. They're giving you a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: free $ 50 on your first trade when you deposit just $ 10.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And now they've launched a new feature. Squads, a group
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: chat where you can see what everyone is trading on.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: So download the Polymarket app today and use the code

• 22:17
  Speaker 1: an independent software provider and affiliate of Polymarket US and
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Polymarket Clearing, the CFTC regulated exchange and clearing organization. One.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't have any cash on the game, so I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: was just the first probably three quarters. I'd be lying
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: if I was breaking that thing down closely. I got
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Giants fans and Washington fans on the three and out operation.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I got group texts talking about cutting Jameis, talking about
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels. So it's like every once in a while
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I'd look over when the negativity, because I kind of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: feed off that on football Sundays. And then I look
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: up and Jaden has a sweet run. They're up 14 points.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: And you're just thinking like, Jameis Winston, this thing's over.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, I kind of watched the last couple...
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Jameis was fantastic. I mean, his final drive was Electric City.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, the touchdown pass he threw to Likely. The
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: pass he threw to Neighbors. Now I'm getting confused. Might
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: have been the two-point. He didn't do a two-point. He
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: threw one to Neighbors, one to Likely. He just had
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: excellent throws to keep drives alive. He was moving in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the pocket. Like, he was fantastic. But, like, Dan Quinn
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: is a defensive guy. The way he got back in
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the mix... to become a head coach after Atlanta was
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: resurrecting his career as the Cowboys defensive coordinator. Unlike Sirianni,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: who's never been a play caller. It's not like, well,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: remember when Sirianni used to be linked up with Phillip
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Rivers and dialing up all those? No, he never did that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: But Dan Quinn, and he'd been a defensive coordinator before,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: but most recently, the Cowboys and McCarthy, their defenses were
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: excellent until they weren't at that last game against Green Bay.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: But that's kind of his thing. You're up 14 points
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: at home in a weird weather game, and Jameis just
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: starts lighting you up like a Christmas tree. Likely a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: neighbor's just were just like, I mean, do you guys
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: realize these are their two best weapons? You're playing Jameis
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: fucking Winston, not Eli Manning or Phil Sims here. So
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: just before we even get to the end of the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: game situation, 14 points in the fourth quarter, Jameis Winston,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: who in fairness has looked a lot better the last
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: couple weeks than he did in that first Rams operation.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: But what I will never be able to understand, because
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: with about 50 seconds to go, whatever, I think they
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: hit a 13-yard pass to get to the 26-yard line
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: with under a minute to go. I was like, I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: had to pee really bad. And I don't have a
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: bathroom in the office, so I got to leave. And
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I just assumed they're just going to kick the field
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: goal and I'll come back and it'll have missed and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it'll end in a tie or they'll have won by
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: three points. And then I come back and the you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: channel had changed or it was like, you know, the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: YouTube TV frozen thing and my text messages were just flooded.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So I had to go back and watch like everybody.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: My first thought was, I was almost confused. I was
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: like Sirianni. I'm like, do I not know what I'm thinking?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Because at 50 seconds, like once you get to the 26,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: why don't you just call the field goal right there?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: This isn't the fourth quarter. It's not like if you
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: kick a field goal, they get the ball back. Everyone
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: had already had the ball multiple times. This field goal fumbles.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a disaster. Now, you could argue
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: there's no... Maybe you're at the 50 seconds, 26. Could
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you get into the teens and make the field goal shorter?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: But why wouldn't you just kick a field goal right
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: then and there? And obviously, the way it ended, which...
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: My blame pie goes like this. In those type situations,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: it's always on the coach. He sets the tone. He
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: literally could just yell at Jaden, spike the fucking ball.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: He's on the sideline. It's a home game, so this
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: isn't Seattle. You can just tell him to spike the ball.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: So to me, it's 100% on the coach. and then
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the coordinator who was talking to him. Because he could
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: also go to the coordinator, tell Jaden to spike it
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm not even talking about the 10s once
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: they got way down. I'm talking the first play. And
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: then to me, the Jaden reaction, the clips going viral
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of him smiling, just not going, because clearly, and I
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: think the players are very hesitant to do this, it's
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: pretty obvious what happened. They called a pass. They tried
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: to get a little greedy. He brain farted and then
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: just took off. And obviously, what happened, happened. But I
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: know this. He looked good enough today where he went, damn.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Is Jaden kind of back? Now, can he stay healthy
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: with the elbow? There were some reports that if it
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: happens again, it could be a nightmare. He's going to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: need surgery no matter what. But the way he played
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: today was like his legs, the guy can fly. Made
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: some really, really nice passes. For a guy that missed
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks, it was impressive. You went, okay, this
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: is a guy that I remember from a couple years ago.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: That right before he got injured was starting to come
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: on against the Cowboys. But to me, you got to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: come out as the quarterback because I just don't. I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: think you could tell all these different players, all the
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen, some of the skilled guys, and just say,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I fucking brain farted. And this, I hate to say it,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: but it's all connected to what happened to start the season.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: It's all about him, the number five. It's like, come on, bro.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: And again, my blame chart always starts with the coach.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: You're either coaching or allowing it to happen. That's the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: way football works. but once he allowed that to happen,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the quarterback has to have the instincts and the know-how
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: of like, just snap the ball or just spike the ball.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even run a play. I I'm baffled by that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: By the time you're listening to this, Dan Quinn, 100%
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: could be fired. I would put it at over 50%,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: especially when you factor in that, that the owner is
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: a basketball guy. They're, they're used to firing coaches. Uh,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I've been saying this for a long time, and I
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: will say this until the day I die. I will
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: never apologize for one of the things I love most
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: about football is the violence, is the pure violent nature
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: of the sport, which obviously leads to guys getting injured,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: head stuff that is not ideal, clearly, which none of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: us would wish upon anybody. But I know exactly what
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I'm watching. And I don't feel bad. I had someone
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: DM me the other day. I'm in the medical business.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Do you ever feel a little... No, I don't. Not
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: at all. And that will never change. So when I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: am watching a game like today and the violence of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the Seattle and 49er game is something we just don't
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: get as much anymore in the NFL. It's just the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: sport has changed so much. The rules... So many players
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: have it, I would say, removed from kind of their
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: playing style at a young age. age because of the penalties.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: You just don't see it as much anymore. And there
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: was a play in that game where Mike Mustafa, I
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: don't think his name's Mike. That's Mike, I'm thinking the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: baseball player. But Mustafa's the safety for the Niners. And
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: he lights up a receiver. And it was probably helmet
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to helmet, but the flag wasn't called. And Tom Brady
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: immediately chimes in. Tom hates Sam Darnold. Not personally, but
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: as a player. Tom has legitimate disdain for Sam Darnold.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I haven't noticed it. Maybe this year, I just... I
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: haven't been as critical of all these broadcasts. I saw
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people in the morning freaking out about Kelsey.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I have a pretty standard operating procedure when it comes
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: to the London games. It used to happen with Rich
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Eisen forever. My expectation is zero. You could have two
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: two-year-olds call me. I'm unfazed. It's on the West Coast.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It's super early in the morning. I don't even have
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the volume up that loud. I'm just drinking my coffee,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: just watching some football. So my standard of how good
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: they are, I do not care. The Rich Eisen being
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: terrible never bothered me. My expectations for Monday night, historically,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: years ago, when they had all those revolving crews, that
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: used to piss me off. Sunday night football, having to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: see Jason Garrett looking like the Joker in the smile
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: ear to ear, that can piss me off. Lending game,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. But I typically, you know, in the afternoon,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: especially if it's a good Romo game, who's gone now,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: or the Fox game, I'm going to listen to that audio.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: In the morning with a bunch of games, I'm bouncing around.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I'm at the Steeler game, then down to the Bears game.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of, the only audio I had on
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: was Brady. So I like really took it in that
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Sam Darl is like, My big takeaway is he does
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: not like him as a player. And I do wonder
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: if there's something that goes back. To the Jets, maybe?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But he, like, loves Purdy. Darnold threw
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: this ball, this late Mustafa, and he essentially called it
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a hospital ball, which honestly made me feel good inside
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: because no one says that anymore because there's no such
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: thing as a hospital ball. You can just throw any
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: ball whenever you want, and if they tackle him too hard,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: they'll call him a defenseless receiver, and if he drops
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it or doesn't make the catch, they'll give him a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: 15-yard penalty. If he does catch it and he also
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: gets hit hard, they'll usually add 15 yards onto it.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: So it'll be like 15 plus another 50. It'll be
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a 30-yard game. Tom Brady grew up in a league
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: where if you were off or you left a guy
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: out to dry, he might go to the hospital. Literally.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Those days are done. And I also think he got
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: a little aggressive to Sam because I've met Sam one
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: time at a hotel at the Super Bowl. Again, super
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: nice guy who's with his then fiance, I think. Couldn't
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: have been any nicer, actually. I've never heard a bad
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: thing about Sam. Not one. So I actually think if Sam,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: if Tom hung out with Sam, he might change his mind.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Sam was kind of hit or miss today, but Tom
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: does not like him as a player at all. Meanwhile, Purdy,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: who I think Tom fucking loves, because Purdy throws what
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: looked like, at least sitting on the couch, a terrible pick.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Tom goes, yeah, that was this inverted cover two rover
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: defense that you never really see. Just a great play
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: by the defense. I'm like, I don't know, Tom. To me,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: it looked like the... The DB was just sitting on it.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're right. Maybe you're just a football genius. But
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: it did feel like he was protecting him. And in fairness,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Purdy outplayed him. And the violent part of these violent games,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and I thought George Alabama was a lot like this,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is you're going to go through ruts in the middle
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: of the game. It might be a turnover. It could
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: be just a three and out. It could be someone
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: just getting decleted and injured and KO'd. Crazy shit is
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: going to happen in violent games. Can you mentally withstand it?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: After Purdy threw a pick, which again, to the average
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: person podcaster, I'm like, that looked bad. Tom called it
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the crazy secret defense, so it's on the defense. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: don't know. But regardless, after that point, he went 10-10.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Led them on a touchdown drive and led them on
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: a field goal drive, and they won. There was also
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a play at the end of the game with Cooper
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Cup that I always assumed everyone in my text message assumed,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: everyone involved with the Three and Out podcast assumed that
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: when you are in the air and not out of
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: bounds and you reach the ball, that wherever that ball is,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: is where the ball, like where it's spotted. Well, Blandino
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: comes on the mic and is like, actually, it's where
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the ball crosses out of bounds. Doesn't matter what you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: do in the air as you're flying through. I'm like,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: are you serious? Then why is everybody over my entire
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: life always reach the ball out in the middle of
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the air, not counting the goal line? I'm still confused
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: because that means then no one knows that rule. And
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: none of these players would continue to do that if
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the coaches knew the rule because the coaches would tell
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: them to stop doing it in case it got hit
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and came back in and was a fumble or something.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: You would just hold the ball close to yourself because
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to risk it. Especially on a non-fourth down.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: But turns out that was the rule, I guess, and
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. But the Purdy, like Colin and I, the
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: stats in a game like that are not going to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: look like some of these other games. Purdy didn't throw
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: 400 yards a day. But every single time he went back,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the violence that everyone... No one was defenseless because they
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: all knew where the violent defenders were for Seattle. And
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: they were literally everywhere. When you play the Niners and
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you're running the ball, Fred Warner is coming with a
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Mike Tyson-like punch to get that ball out. The intensity
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: of that game was... There were two games played in
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest. Yesterday, there were 10 turnovers. for Oregon
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and UCLA. That was a tough game to watch. That
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: was rough. This one was not. This is one of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: those rare, there were a bunch of turnovers. Niners had
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a couple. I mean, hell, it looked like Debo pulled
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: his hamstring, freaked out in the middle of the air
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and dropped the ball. At first, you're like, it's kind
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: of Caleb Williams-y. You're like, did he just blow out
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: his ACL or something? But clearly, he just felt pain
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: and then let go and it was a bad turnover.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: But same thing with Seattle. And Um, I, I, I just,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: if every game I miss and I understand like you,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you couldn't just have eighties and nineties football playing like that.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't be as entertaining. There has to be some balance,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: but I, I do miss when guys would just go
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: over the middle and you knew if your quarterback laid
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: them out, you were just going to get killed and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: everyone would be like, that's the quarterback's fault. You never
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: hear that anymore. Um, That's on the quarterback. And I'm
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: not even, like, I'm not anti-Sam. Today was hard for him.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Today was hard for him. Today was hard for Purdy.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, the game's hard. You know, when you play
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the best defenses, the best coordinators, the most violent players,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: it is really difficult. You know, watching, well, I'll dive
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: into this game next, but, like, it wasn't that hard
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: for Jordan Love, Christian Watson, and Matthew Goldin. They look
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: like Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, and Rich Gannon in their
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: prime today. It was like, Jesus. They didn't have to
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: worry about getting hit because they knew they weren't because
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: those guys on the other side weren't playing violent. But
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I just, I could watch football like that every single weekend.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: We just don't get it very often. You guys know
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: where I stand on Ben Johnson as a play caller,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: but also a personality. You know, we'll dive into Ditka
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: here at the end, but like, Coaches and big personalities really,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: really matter for sports. We've lost that in baseball. When
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, a lot of managers in the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: 90s were big personalities. They were really famous people. Now
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: managers in baseball, no one can point them out of
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: a lineup. They make less than a running back coach
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: in the SEC. Basketball still has a couple, but not
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: as many 20, 30 years ago. And football... It still
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: has big personalities, but I think because of social media,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: guys are just hesitant to say some kind of crazy stuff.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: And Ben Johnson, I appreciate him just openly talking shit
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: about LeFleur, the Packers. But when you talk a big game,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you got to back it up. And today they got shellacked.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I like the Bears big. Maybe because I bought into
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: all their words. I'm like, listen, I'm just believing in Ben.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Backup quarterbacks, doesn't matter. And they stepped into Lambeau today
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and got slapped around. I mean, Jordan Love looked like
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Christian Watson was fantastic. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: if they're going to play like that, this team is
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: not dead. Now, I don't know if they can sling
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: it around as much as the weather turns, but as
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: long as they're in good weather game, Jordan, just throw
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it to those two guys because they are balling. Golden looks...
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Watson's going to take a lot of oxygen. I think
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I saw a stat today that the two of them
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: are both top five in statistical categories, like yards. They
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: look awesome. But if you're going to talk shit and
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: get embarrassed, that sucks. That's not ideal. And for the
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: first time in a while, he kind of had to
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: put his tail between his legs and go back home
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: you know and if you watch the clip when they
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: shook hands Ben stared a little bit longer on the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: floor like he still tried to maintain the dominance like
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: bro you just you just got embarrassed really really bad
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and they're also this like Tyson Bajent got benched today
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about this because Riola got benched yesterday
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: as well There were like two tight benchings, right? Sometimes,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: it's like we just need a spark. It's kind of
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: like the two Jalen Hurts, Saban thing. Obviously, Jalen was
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: playing bad, but that was more like we need a spark.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: And even Saban on the clip you see, like we're
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: going to play both quarterbacks. He was trying to be nice.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Saban's known as this major asshole, but even in that moment,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: if you notice what he says, like we'll still play
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: both quarterbacks, which wasn't even true. But he was trying
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to ease the blow. It's like throwing a pitch hitter almost,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: hoping you get a little life, which happens every once
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: in a while. Less and less when you have established quarterbacks,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: but it used to happen in college a lot. And
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: then there are the benchings where it's like, this guy
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: is so bad today. This guy is so horrendous. We've
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: already probably lost the game because of his poor play,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: but I have to yank him out of the game.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: And that's what happened. For as good as Jordan Love
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: was today, Tyson was equally as bad. Like on the
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: complete opposite end of the spectrum. Like wherever the middle is, like, oh,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: he's just kind of solid. No, it couldn't have been
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: any worse. I kept watching like, is this guy really
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: this bad? Is it really? How's he playing? It was awful.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, awful. So you've got to give him respect. Because,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: and this is what you can do as a play caller.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Like the difference of LaFleur, who everyone was shitting on,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I'm guilty. I'm like, this is not going well. I'm
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: the play caller. So like, yeah, maybe I'll never be
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Kirby Smart in the locker room. Like, I don't have
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: that type gravitas. Like, I don't have that type juice
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: in me. But you know what? I can spend a
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: week dialing up some sweet plays against the Bears and
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I'll figure it out. And that's what he did today. Because...
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, the one Jordan Love bomb, I think it
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: was like 55, 53 yards, where Love caught it. That
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: was the most beautiful play of the day. I mean,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: the ball, Jordan threw that thing to the sky, dropped
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: right in a bucket in the cover. He was covered
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: pretty well. It was beautiful. So props to the Packers.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Props to the Vikings. I will never, ever, ever again
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: have any– Any. It could be 10 cents on the Saints.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: So anytime I got a little money on you, I'm
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: paying attention. The Vikings were never losing that game. That was...
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: And I get the Saints aren't very good. That was
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Kyler looked good running around. Jefferson being back
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: at a sweet touchdown catch. You know, Flores blitzes literally
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: every play. I don't think you can blitz anymore. They
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: were just... They were shook. Literally. I mean, they were
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Tyler shook. That's exactly what they were. So... You know,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I think you watch 49ers in Seattle. They feel like
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: they're on a higher level. But you're 5-0, you're 5-0.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: And that was by far their best offensive performance because
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Kyler's legs, I think it was 24-30, made some really
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: big runs. And again, if Jefferson's there, just throw it
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: up to him every once in a while. It's like
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Randy Moss. Just give him a fucking chance. Anything else
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to hit on before we dive into
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: a couple college things? I did want to end on this.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: is Mike Ditka died this weekend. Obviously, I was born
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: in 84. I don't even remember the 85 Bears. But
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: that franchise and that team was clearly, I would say,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: one of the most famous champions any sport of my lifetime.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: They are still referenced, right? I say it all the time.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Play defense like the 85 Bears. And a huge part
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: of it was, I mean, we have other champions that
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: no one remembers. Maybe they lack personality. Maybe they lack
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: some just memorable characters, moments. They didn't have as many moments, right?
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: And I was thinking about, like, I've always said that
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Peyton and Tom are the Magic and Larry Bird of football.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: And I was thinking, like, maybe that's not quite true.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Because Magic and Larry were in the 80s. If you
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: think about it, in the 60s and 70s, baseball was
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: by far the biggest sport in America. In the 80s,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: football was big, but if you look at a lot
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: of the champions in the 70s, it wasn't necessarily the
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: big markets. It was like Oakland Raiders. The Pittsburgh Steelers
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: were winning a lot. The Minnesota Vikings were really good. Now,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: they were historic people and players and individuals in the
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: sport that are remembered forever. But then the 80s hit
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: and Mike Ditka took over the Bears, Bill Parcells took
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: over the Giants, and Bill Walsh was running the 49ers.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: So you have Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: And you also, I forget what year Gibbs took over Washington,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: but same thing for the 80s. So you have our
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: biggest city and three of the other top four or
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: five cities in America were all unreal at football. They
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: basically won the Super Bowl every single year, beside a couple.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Parcells, Ditka, and Walsh played
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: each other essentially twice a year because they were all
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: winning the division all the time. So they would play
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: each other in the regular season and they would literally
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: play each other constantly in the playoffs. So football, because
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: by the time Manning and Brady, for me to call
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: them bird and magic, football was already massive. Now they
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: took it to another level, that rivalry, those two individuals,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: but it was already pretty big. It's like Tim Cook
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: took over Apple. It wasn't just an operation that had
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: seven stores in California. It was a pretty well-established operation. Now,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: he took it to another level. But Steve Jobs got
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: it rolling. And if you think about Ditka and Parcells
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: and Walsh, all three of them, especially Ditka and Parcells,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: massive personalities. And those three guys are three of the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: most famous, definitely Parcells and Walsh as coaches, Ditka as
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: a personality in the history of the league. And, you know,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I was reading an article this weekend how Ditka as
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: a player in the 60s used to just get into
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: a Ray Nitschke and Packers famous linebacker. And I guess
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: in one article I read that it got so bad
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: in one game They agreed to meet at a local
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: bar after the game to settle it man to man
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: and just fucking throw down and get after it. And
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was like Lombardi and some
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: of the Packers or some of the Bears, like they
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: basically were able to like not let one of the
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: guys go. But they were both dead set on meeting
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and fighting. And, you know, you just America was built
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: on men like that. I mean, let's face it. These
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: guys were literally just tougher. You see some of these
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: things on Instagram and Twitter. By no means do I
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: act like I'm Chuck Liddell here. I mean, we are just,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I grew up with a dad who went to Vietnam.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: His dad was, both my grandparents were in World War II.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: One was shot down and lived. I remember being a
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: young kid. He died in the late 90s. But the
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Purple Heart was in this one little bar room. Like,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: that's a different breed of human beings. You read some
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: articles about Mike Ditka. But what makes Mike so special
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: is because he was clearly this hard-ass, tough guy. is
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: he just had a big, big personality. And it just
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: resonated with people. And those guys in the NFC with
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: John Madden on the call of a lot of those
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: games was just a big, big time for the NFL
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: to take off like a rocket ship. And people like
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Mike Ditka, when you watch like George Kittle makes $ 17
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: million a year, Travis Kelsey, all these guys making a
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: huge coin, and all guys around the league. Really owe
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: it to a lot of those guys. They're in position
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: because of the work and kind of the foundation that
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: those guys built back in the day. I mean, shit,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I bet. I draft off it because of the popularity
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: of this sport, the importance of these individuals. And I
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: was thinking today, like I'm inside and Tom Brady's on
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: the call and I'm holding Jack. Maria has him decked
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: out in 49er uniform. I'm thinking like, Jack will have
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: never seen Tom Brady throw a pass before. It's like
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: one day when he's like 10 and Tom, assuming he's
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: still calling games, I don't think he realized how good
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: this fucking guy was. It'd be like how my dad
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: told me about Mickey Mantle and Pete Rose and Bill Russell.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: But it's just kind of how the way the world works.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: And as you get older, I think you have a
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: little more appreciation for the importance of these people that
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: came before you. And I think the NFL does a
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: good job. You know, basketball, they're always battling. Because, I mean,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I think part of it is some of those guys
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: from the 80s or 90s are like jealous of how much,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you're like, wait, Zion? He's going to make
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: $ 700 million in his career? That guy? But, you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: in football, there's less, it's like more respect. And it's
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: just sad. Okay, let me tell you about my friends
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: at SeatGeek. Do you want to go to a concert?
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Do you want to go to a game? You want
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: to go to a football game, college or pro? I've
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: always wanted to go to an SEC game. I guess
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: technically a couple years ago, I went to one, Texas, Oklahoma.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you'd consider that one. I would
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: consider that more Big 12. But if you want to
• 49:31

• 50:28
  Speaker 1: quick college things before we get out of here. I
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: know this, that there is no chance people at LSU
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: are going to be cool with paying $ 50 million and
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: you losing to Kentucky on the road. I don't care
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: if your best offensive weapon's injured. I don't care if
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: your best defensive player's injured. No one's going to give
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: a shit. You don't have some Phil Knight. You don't
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: have the dude that's funneling Texas Tech or the Texas money.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: you can't convince me that LSU is going to maintain
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: this unless they just use the government funds, which they
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: gladly will. And Lane will clearly gladly take it. But
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I just can't imagine this will be tolerated for years.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: And as people have forwarded me today, and I saw
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: it on the internet as well, is like, here's just
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: a good staffer. Shane Beamer has more road top 25
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: wins than Lane Kiffin. Like Lane Kiffin's hype doesn't meet
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: his actual results. He's never actually beat anyone good except
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Georgia one time, several years ago. It's not like every
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: single year he's been rattling off these impressive wins. And
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: he's a great marketer, and that matters. College football is
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: about marketing. But to be a great coach, you've got
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: to win some big games. Like, Kalen DeBoer just lost
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: to Kirby. Well, he's beat Dan Lanning three times when
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: he was at Washington. He beat Sark in the Final Four.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: He'd already beaten Kirby twice. Now, is he perfect? Is
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: he Nick Saban? No. But you just look at DeBoer's resume,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: you go, God, that guy's fucking pretty damn good. I
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: actually think that was one of his more impressive games
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: that I've watched him in his career in a loss. Right?
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Kirby's been winning big games forever. It's like, well, he
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: couldn't beat Saban for a while. And then he could.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: It's like, Lane can't beat Kentucky on the road. And
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: when I'm paying you huge money, if I'm a booster
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: on the program, that adds to the urgency. I watch
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: some of these plays. Whenever I watch Washington, I'm like, wait,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: this guy signed a $ 15 million contract, four-year contract, $ 3
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: million a year. You're paying this guy that? What are
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: you doing? In the NFL, that's the type of stuff
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: that gets GMs fired. But, man... You know, the Oklahoma thing,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: which brings me great joy. Very happy for my guy
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Drew Hill and Jim Nagy and everyone with the Oklahoma
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Sooner program for pulling that one off. What makes that
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: game so unique, and I've been once and Sooners got
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: beat like 50-10. It was terrible. I mean, it was
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: really bad, actually. Quinn Ewers, it was kind of tight
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: for a half. About quarter and a half. And then
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: it just, it was a blowout city. But if the
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: game is close for either team, There's no environment like
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: that because, like, Georgia pulled off that win. What makes
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: that win so impressive for Georgia is, like, you can't
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: hear yourself think when you're on offense because you're playing
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: at fucking Alabama. Right? Or even LSU on the road
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: to Kentucky. Like, that's not an easy environment if it's
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: a packed house. Like, it's just... It's difficult to go. USC,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Penn State sucks, but you still got to go on
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: the road 3,000 miles and the place is packed and
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: it's loud. Well, this, half the fans are yours. And
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I saw something on Twitter earlier today is like, because
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: the game was never, even as Oklahoma did not play well,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: their offense sucks. I mean, their offense sucks, mainly because
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: the quarterback's terrible. Might be a nice guy, not a
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: very good college quarterback. Definitely not a pro. Probably not
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: even UFL. But, like, watching that crowd when Arch, who
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: just completely unraveled. You know, you can throw interceptions. Every
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: human being can live with an interception. Peyton Manning threw
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: a ton. Brett Favre threw a ton. They happened. But
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of tie games against your rival,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: In a split crowd, you have to be, I would say,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: very aware of where you're putting the football when it
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: leaves your hand. And the pick six, which to me
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: is worse than even the next pick, because he just
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: let it rip and it just threw it up there.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: It's a 17-17 game. And the other thing is once
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: you throw that pick, the crowd went berserk. And then
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma immediately had life. And then obviously he threw another
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: one right to the defender. But like, listen, I'm not
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: trying to beat a dead horse here, but that was
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: as bad as it can get. That's as bad as
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: you're ever going to see. Oklahoma won a game that
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't be able to win because they have no offense.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, they cannot play offense. And listen, Sark ain't exactly,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: you know, Mike Ditka, right? roaming the sideline as a
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: tough guy. But at Texas, you have an unlimited budget.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: You can just buy the players. Their defense is good.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Problem is, quarterback's not. I'm kind of like this with
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix now. I don't even know if it's the
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: play calling. Might not matter. You could design the best
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: play of all time, and Bo Nix might throw that
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: thing into the ground. You can only do so much
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: when your quarterback can't play. I mean, there have been
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of good coaches not be able to coach
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of bad quarterbacks and bad players. I'm not
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: saying he's bad. He's just definitely not good. And that
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: loss to me, if you want to give some of
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: the loss, the Ohio State-Texas game to the coaches getting conservative, totally.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: But there are some games all on the player. Even
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the Jaden Daniels thing. Yeah, Jaden definitely bears some blame,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: but also on the coaches, like, Sark would never recommend.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: No coach in the history of the sport would tell
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: you to make those two throws. And then he does.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: And then they lose. I mean, which I think most
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: level-headed people, clearly Texas is good because of how many
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: good players they have, which they are very, very loaded.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have two of the best players in
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: the country in Coleman and Colin Simmons. But when your
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: quarterback's going to do that, you're liable to lose to anybody.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: You're not guaranteed to beat anybody. So, congrats to the Sooners.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: That felt pretty good, watching that field goal go in
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: and seeing a team that's probably going to end up
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: going 7-5. I don't even know who Oklahoma's playing next week.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: You can tell me Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky– could easily lose
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: by like 10 points, no problem. The game could be
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: in Oklahoma. They're liable to lose to anybody in the
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: SEC besides like Vanderbilt and Arkansas. But that does feel good.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: There's Oklahoma, Texas, Niner, Seattle. There's something pretty special about rivalries.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Have a great night and talk to you tomorrow. The Volume.
