Speaker 1: All right, I have two segments here, two windows, as
0:03
Speaker 1: we like to say, to take phone calls. This one,
0:07
Speaker 1: and coming up at 345. 877-99 on Fox. Your thoughts
0:11
Speaker 1: from a tremendous football weekend, both on Saturday and Sunday.
0:16
Speaker 2: The NFL was ridiculous yesterday.
0:19
Speaker 1: But we have about 12 minutes here to take some
0:21
Speaker 1: phone calls.
0:22
Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox.
0:22
Speaker 2: That is 877-99 on Fox.
0:23
Speaker 1: Have a fun show for you. No Taylor, no Mikey A,
0:30
Speaker 1: just me and you. I have crawled through a river
0:33
Speaker 1: of podcasts, God bless football, college football with Stugatz and Baer,
0:39
Speaker 1: and of course, Stugatz and Company, the show we do
0:41
Speaker 1: before the show. But we do have Frank Caliendo coming
0:44
Speaker 1: up in about 20 minutes.
0:46
Speaker 2: Looking forward to that.
0:47
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Madden movie that he's not in,
0:50
Speaker 1: and we'll promote his two shows coming up here, frankonstage.com,
0:55
Speaker 1: right down here where I am. at West Palm Beach.
0:59
Speaker 1: So 877-99 on Fox, 4 o'clock hour. We have the
1:01
Speaker 1: weekend observations coming up, and we have the head coach
1:06
Speaker 1: of the University of Oregon, Dan Lanning, is going to
1:09
Speaker 1: join us in the second hour. So a lot to
1:13
Speaker 1: do here on the show, a lot of fun to
1:15
Speaker 1: be had. It was interesting over the weekend here, and again,
1:19
Speaker 1: Frank Caliendo in about 15 minutes. It was interesting over
1:23
Speaker 1: the weekend to see USC and Oregon play to see
1:27
Speaker 1: that hit on their quarterback and to see Dylan Rayola,
1:31
Speaker 1: of all people, who I had no idea was still
1:34
Speaker 1: playing college football, was a guy that we kind of mocked.
1:38
Speaker 1: Not kind of mocked. We did mock for trying to
1:40
Speaker 1: be Patrick Mahomes. The reaction to that hit was amazing.
1:45
Speaker 1: And the way he played was unbelievable. You know, coaches
1:49
Speaker 1: say to players all the time, when I call your number,
1:53
Speaker 1: you have to be ready. And for the life of me,
1:55
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that Rayola was ready. I just, of
2:00
Speaker 1: all the people, I can't believe that he was ready.
2:03
Speaker 1: The NFL was fantastic yesterday. This is interesting, and I
2:07
Speaker 1: cannot recall a single example of what we are witnessing
2:13
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Drake May was a quarterback that we
2:19
Speaker 1: watched play in the Super Bowl not too long ago.
2:23
Speaker 2: It's like seven or eight months ago.
2:26
Speaker 1: And it looks to me like Drake May, again, he
2:31
Speaker 1: is seven or eight months removed from taking the Patriots
2:34
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. They were a game away from
2:38
Speaker 1: winning it all. And if you watch their game against
2:41
Speaker 1: Jacksonville yesterday, and I asked you, hey, that quarterback playing
2:47
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, do you think he's ever played in
2:49
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl?
2:51
Speaker 2: You would have laughed at me and said, hell no.
2:55
Speaker 2: Drake May, it.
2:56
Speaker 1: Appears, and I'd be interested to hear from Dan Beyer
2:59
Speaker 1: on this, who I can't see for some reason, but
3:02
Speaker 1: I can speak to. Dan, it appears to me that
3:07
Speaker 1: Drake May forgot how to play the game of football.
3:10
Speaker 2: He is lacking confidence.
3:12
Speaker 1: He is not the same person we saw play against.
3:16
Speaker 2: Your Seahawks in the Super Bowl. He was like a
3:19
Speaker 2: clown out there. It was a clown show. It was ridiculous.
3:22
Speaker 2: And I can't think of a guy.
3:24
Speaker 1: who has gone from where he has been, which is
3:26
Speaker 1: playing for a Super Bowl, to a guy who looks
3:29
Speaker 1: like he forgot to play the sport that he was
3:31
Speaker 1: drafted to play.
3:32
Speaker 2: It was odd to see, wasn't it?
3:34
Speaker 4: It was so bad. And to your point, Stu, I
3:36
Speaker 4: think you could put playoffs. Like, this guy took a
3:39
Speaker 4: team to the playoffs. would be a stretch for how
3:41
Speaker 4: bad it worked. Travis Hunter hadn't had an interception his
3:44
Speaker 4: entire NFL career until Drake May threw one right to him.
3:48
Speaker 5: And again, for whatever.
3:50
Speaker 4: Reason, Drake May loves to do this around the end
3:52
Speaker 4: zone because he did it when they were in field
3:54
Speaker 4: goal range against the Seahawks. He threw it directly to
3:57
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter yesterday. Yeah, I think Rabel's even just kind
4:01
Speaker 4: of like... All right, dude, what the heck? Because he's
4:04
Speaker 4: even searching for answers.
4:05
Speaker 5: He was awful.
4:06
Speaker 2: And you can't blame it all on A.J.
4:07
Speaker 4: Brown's absence either, because because even though he's a wide receiver,
4:12
Speaker 4: number one, they didn't have A.J. Brown last year and
4:15
Speaker 4: he wasn't doing this last year. And you can't say
4:17
Speaker 4: that all the losses, defendings. No, this is all on
4:19
Speaker 4: his shoulders. And it's been more regression than progression.
4:23
Speaker 2: It's it's odd to see. It really is.
4:25
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how many turnovers he had
4:27
Speaker 1: exactly yesterday, but.
4:29
Speaker 2: He should have had eight more. That's how bad it was.
4:33
Speaker 6: Yeah.
4:33
Speaker 1: Against the Jacksonville Jaguars. What were your takeaways yesterday, Dan?
4:36
Speaker 1: Do you have a quarterback controversy in Seattle?
4:39
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what, aside from the awful pick.
4:42
Speaker 4: And by the way, that is that is why the
4:44
Speaker 4: Seahawks won the Super Bowl last year is because Sam
4:46
Speaker 4: Darnold didn't turn the football over for as great as
4:49
Speaker 4: their defense had been. He didn't turn the football over.
4:53
Speaker 4: And he was great yesterday. Sands the pick six that
4:57
Speaker 4: ends up ultimately costing them the victory. And it was
5:00
Speaker 4: an awful pick six. Rashid was wide open, but I'm
5:03
Speaker 4: not putting it all on Darnold. You know what struck
5:06
Speaker 4: me the most is that people hate Sean Payton so
5:09
Speaker 4: much that they'll actually cheer for the Rams. And side
5:12
Speaker 4: with them with calls like we've always talked about this
5:15
Speaker 4: offseason since Miles Garrett was traded and Aaron Donald came
5:19
Speaker 4: back and how the Rams are the super team. It
5:22
Speaker 4: would you would think everybody would cheer against them and,
5:25
Speaker 4: you know, relish their victory. bad games and bad calls
5:29
Speaker 4: that go against them. But everybody last night was like, yeah,
5:31
Speaker 4: Rams got screwed. Rams totally bad pass interference call. People
5:35
Speaker 4: don't like Sean Payton that much that they'd rather cheer
5:37
Speaker 4: for the Rams than Sean Payton on Sunday night football.
5:40
Speaker 2: That's how bad Sean Payton is. You're right.
5:43
Speaker 1: They will cheer for McVay only if it comes at
5:46
Speaker 1: the expense.
5:48
Speaker 5: We all hated the Rams. Nobody likes the Rams.
5:51
Speaker 2: Yet last night we're.
5:52
Speaker 5: Like, injustice in the NFL. This needs to stop.
5:56
Speaker 1: Yes, here's what's funny about the NFL and us not
5:58
Speaker 1: knowing what we're watching every Sunday and why previewing stuff
6:01
Speaker 1: is absolutely ridiculous.
6:03
Speaker 2: The Raiders are 3-0. The Rams are 1-2. The Browns
6:07
Speaker 2: are 2-1.
6:08
Speaker 1: The team that Miles Garrett left, the Cleveland Browns, because
6:12
Speaker 1: he thought I could never win a Super Bowl there,
6:14
Speaker 1: they're 2-1. The team he went to to win a
6:17
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is 1-2, and Miles Garrett is out for
6:22
Speaker 1: the next four or five weeks. We have no idea
6:24
Speaker 1: what we're watching. How do you feel about Browns fans?
6:27
Speaker 1: This is interesting because I want to ask the audience.
6:30
Speaker 1: Browns fans rooting towards the end of that game for
6:34
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Fans only care about their feel good, their
6:38
Speaker 1: two and one. Deshaun Watson was a big part. of
6:41
Speaker 1: the reason why they got to 2-1 yesterday at home.
6:44
Speaker 1: How'd you feel about that, Dan? Because I said headed
6:47
Speaker 1: into that game, this is a game for Deshaun Watson.
6:50
Speaker 1: Either he will get the entire Cleveland Brown fan base
6:54
Speaker 1: to rally behind him, or he'll never play quarterback in
6:57
Speaker 1: the NFL again.
6:58
Speaker 2: And it looks like.
6:59
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's going to be the starter for the remainder
7:02
Speaker 1: of the season for the Cleveland Browns.
7:03
Speaker 4: He threw 144 yards and they're going crazy like that.
7:06
Speaker 4: Like that's what they want.
7:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, they won.
7:08
Speaker 4: And that's like I thought Munkin was kind of a
7:11
Speaker 4: sacrificial lamb. I thought that me'd maybe be there one
7:13
Speaker 4: year and then they'll have the number one pick or
7:16
Speaker 4: have a have a high pick and have another pick
7:18
Speaker 4: with the Rams. And then they'd bring a new coach
7:20
Speaker 4: in and. start fresh and get rid of Deshaun Watson
7:23
Speaker 4: and get rid of Shador Sanders and move on from that.
7:26
Speaker 4: But Munkin's kind of been a folk hero. I don't
7:28
Speaker 4: know if it was from responding to Mike Tomlin the
7:30
Speaker 4: way that he did on the Browns are going to
7:32
Speaker 4: Brown sort of deal, but even like he gave a
7:34
Speaker 4: speech yesterday after they were just in speaking with the media.
7:38
Speaker 4: And I think like Cleveland loves Todd Munkin now it's yeah,
7:42
Speaker 4: it's a complete reversal of what I thought it would be.
7:46
Speaker 2: It is interesting.
7:47
Speaker 1: I'm trying to put myself in, I'm trying to make
7:50
Speaker 1: myself a Cleveland Brown fan. It's bad enough being a
7:54
Speaker 1: Jet fan, Dan. But I am trying to think, because
7:58
Speaker 1: they are starving for winning. They are starving for any
8:01
Speaker 1: sort of feel-good as it relates to their football team.
8:04
Speaker 1: If I could find myself in any scenario rooting for
8:08
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, a guy who has so many off-the-field issues,
8:13
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm asking here is, do you put
8:15
Speaker 1: your own feel-good ahead of everything, because.
8:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Well, I.
8:20
Speaker 5: No, I know. I can't not think about it, though. Like,
8:24
Speaker 5: that's the thing. Right, I know. Because even on... Like,
8:26
Speaker 5: I just... I can't not do it.
8:31
Speaker 1: There is no scenario in which you could find yourself,
8:35
Speaker 1: you think, rooting.
8:36
Speaker 2: for deshaun watson.
8:37
Speaker 4: Is that what you're saying yeah exactly i'd love to
8:39
Speaker 4: root for the for the people of cleveland i'd love
8:42
Speaker 4: to root for todd munkin and everybody else quinshaw junkins
8:46
Speaker 4: and and all of the uh the browns absolutely but
8:50
Speaker 4: just can't do it mike singletary once said can't do
8:53
Speaker 4: it there.
8:54
Speaker 5: Thanks mike.
8:56
Speaker 1: So if you're cheering for Deshaun Watson and someone says, hey,
9:00
Speaker 1: why are you cheering for that guy?
9:01
Speaker 2: What do you say? No, I'm just cheering for the Browns, right?
9:04
Speaker 5: That's it.
9:06
Speaker 4: Even that, oh gosh, it's difficult. That fan base has
9:10
Speaker 4: been through, I mean, but it's not like they were
9:14
Speaker 4: on Deshaun Watson's side with all of this. I think
9:16
Speaker 4: they're even being forced to cheer for him.
9:19
Speaker 5: I think a.
9:19
Speaker 1: Majority of them wanted Shador Sanders. They're being forced because
9:22
Speaker 1: he's the starter right now. They don't want to cheer
9:24
Speaker 1: for him. They'd rather cheer for Shador Sanders, but I'm
9:27
Speaker 1: not certain they're two and one with Shador Sanders. Watson
9:30
Speaker 1: has played decent the last two weeks. He has played,
9:33
Speaker 1: I think, better than what you would have seen from
9:36
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders.
9:37
Speaker 2: So let's take some calls here.
9:38
Speaker 7: 877-99 on Fox.
9:38
Speaker 2: That is 877-99 on Fox.
9:38
Speaker 1: And again, Frank Caliendo going to join us. in about
9:46
Speaker 1: 10 minutes here. Let's go out to Nathan, who's in
9:48
Speaker 1: North Carolina today.
9:49
Speaker 2: Nathan, go ahead. You are on Fox Sports Radio.
9:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to check in and see if Izzy is.
9:56
Speaker 2: Going to take Josh Allen over Patrick Mahomes yet. Izzy
10:00
Speaker 2: is not here. I will ask him. I'm not, well, man.
10:07
Speaker 1: It's so tricky with Josh Allen. That's a game the
10:09
Speaker 1: Bills probably should have lost. I'm tired of the Chargers,
10:11
Speaker 1: by the way. Justin Herbert enough. I'm tired of hearing
10:14
Speaker 1: how good he is. It is tricky with Josh Allen
10:17
Speaker 1: because I am on record as saying If Josh Allen
10:19
Speaker 1: goes on to never win a Super Bowl, I will
10:22
Speaker 1: still be willing to say that he is one of
10:24
Speaker 1: the all-time great quarterbacks. We've never seen anything like him
10:27
Speaker 1: at that position, and I'm not certain we'll ever see
10:30
Speaker 1: something at that position like.
10:32
Speaker 2: Him ever again. Is he Patrick Mahomes in terms of accomplishments, hardware, rings,
10:37
Speaker 2: all that? No.
10:39
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen is one of the great quarterbacks we
10:41
Speaker 1: have ever seen, Patrick Mahomes.
10:43
Speaker 2: Is starting to look like Patrick Mahomes again. He really is.
10:46
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Kevin in Minnesota. Kevin, go ahead.
10:49
Speaker 2: You're on Fox Sports Radio.
10:51
Speaker 3: Hey, this goes out to Nolan Teasley for the 1%
10:55
Speaker 3: chance that he has Fox Sports Radio, Stu Gutz and
10:57
Speaker 3: company on for background noise in his office. Nolan, I
11:02
Speaker 3: implore you, I beg of you. Tony Dungy, no, we
11:07
Speaker 3: go with Dennis Green. Years later, we have Tomlin in
11:10
Speaker 3: the building as our defensive court. No, no, let's go
11:12
Speaker 3: with Brad children. And we're going to go through this
11:15
Speaker 3: one more time. I know Kevin O'Connell just got extended,
11:18
Speaker 3: but it was before you started as our GM here.
11:22
Speaker 3: And now we got blind Flores. off the Belichick tree.
11:26
Speaker 3: And we're going to know now and now we're going
11:28
Speaker 3: to stick with the brainchild, the quarterback whisperer, Kevin O'Connell,
11:32
Speaker 3: like Nolan, Nolan, if you're listening, please, like I implore you,
11:36
Speaker 3: we can be.
11:37
Speaker 7: Awful at quarterback, awful at offense. The offense can't be clicking.
11:42
Speaker 7: We can do all of that with Brian floors as
11:44
Speaker 7: our head coach. Like we can botch quarterback decisions and, and,
11:49
Speaker 7: And who should be the extended into the season or
11:52
Speaker 7: next season and who shouldn't be, we can make the
11:55
Speaker 7: wrong decisions with Brian floors at the home. Like Brian's
11:58
Speaker 7: doing more with less on the defense while Kevin's.
12:01
Speaker 3: Got one of the best receivers in football. And we,
12:05
Speaker 3: it's like, we can't figure out the offense. This is
12:08
Speaker 3: like two years, three years running now, like Nolan, please.
12:12
Speaker 3: I implore you.
12:14
Speaker 2: Okay. You're three. No, man.
12:19
Speaker 4: And later this week, Mikey is going to tell us
12:21
Speaker 4: that the Vikings are the number one overall seed to
12:23
Speaker 4: the NFC.
12:24
Speaker 5: So just prepare for that.
12:25
Speaker 1: They are three, you know, with Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. Like,
12:32
Speaker 1: I think you're fine at the head coaching spot. We'll
12:35
Speaker 1: take a quick time out here. Frank Caliendo is going
12:38
Speaker 1: to join us coming up next. We'll talk Madden movie
12:40
Speaker 1: with him. We will talk about his shows coming up
12:42
Speaker 1: and he will get you ready in a way like
12:46
Speaker 1: you've never heard. for the baseball postseason, which is starting tomorrow.
12:51
Speaker 1: But we all seem to forget why. Because the NFL.

13:28
Speaker 1: Weekend observations coming up here in just a few minutes. Also,
13:32
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning, the head coach at the University of Oregon,
13:36
Speaker 1: going to join us.
13:37
Speaker 2: He was a hot mess.
13:38
Speaker 1: Over the weekend and had every right to be one. Dan,
13:41
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question real quick. 877-99
13:43
Speaker 1: on Fox. That is 877-99 on Fox. Who had the
13:48
Speaker 1: more irrational response to their team winning?
13:52
Speaker 2: Was it Kirk Ferentz of.
13:53
Speaker 1: Iowa who cried as he walked off the field after
13:56
Speaker 1: defeating Michigan? Or was it Lamar Jackson running around like
14:00
Speaker 1: he had won a Super Bowl? Granted, it was exciting
14:03
Speaker 1: and it was a ridiculous way. for the Ravens to
14:06
Speaker 1: win and the Cowboys to lose. But Lamar Jackson acting.
14:10
Speaker 1: like he had won a Super Bowl after winning a
14:13
Speaker 1: game in Brazil in week three.
14:15
Speaker 4: It was crazy. I actually felt that he was more happy. Well,
14:19
Speaker 4: I shouldn't say that. That he was also just as
14:22
Speaker 4: happy for Tyler Loop because the Ravens didn't make the
14:25
Speaker 4: playoffs on the last kick last year for what he
14:27
Speaker 4: missed in Pittsburgh. So I think he and all the
14:30
Speaker 4: Ravens kind of felt that way towards Loop. So I'm
14:33
Speaker 4: giving the award to Kirk Ferentz, and this is the
14:35
Speaker 4: reason why. In the interview that he does– Why.
14:40
Speaker 2: Are we applauding this?
14:44
Speaker 5: Like the amazing victory.
14:46
Speaker 4: I was questioning Iowa for the entire final five minutes
14:50
Speaker 4: of kicking a field goal and all the decisions.
14:52
Speaker 5: And what do you know?
14:53
Speaker 4: At the end, he comes through and he speaks to
14:56
Speaker 4: Jenny Dell and like how amazing this win was in
14:59
Speaker 4: this environment, in the stadium. And Ferentz references the 1981
15:05
Speaker 4: game between Iowa and Michigan where Iowa didn't score a touchdown.
15:10
Speaker 4: Like that's, that's the most Kirk Ferentz thing ever. They
15:13
Speaker 4: kicked three field goals. He even mentioned it. Do it
15:16
Speaker 4: kick three field goals with a true freshman kicker. I mean,
15:19
Speaker 4: this is great and all, but it didn't match up
15:20
Speaker 4: to 81 like that. So, so Ferentz going back, 40
15:25
Speaker 4: some odd years, 45 years to reference what was actually
15:28
Speaker 4: a bigger game than just what happened. And all of
15:31
Speaker 4: Iowa was losing their crap is some of the most
15:33
Speaker 4: irrational thing and celebrating a game that they didn't score
15:36
Speaker 4: a touchdown.
15:37
Speaker 2: They didn't score a touchdown in 81. That's how he
15:40
Speaker 2: likes it, though.
15:40
Speaker 1: He would rather win a game not scoring a touchdown
15:42
Speaker 1: than win a game scoring multiple touchdowns.
15:44
Speaker 4: I'm surprised he didn't say we kicked three field goals
15:46
Speaker 4: and punted 12 times in the game.
15:47
Speaker 5: It was great. It was amazing. Nothing beats 81.
15:51
Speaker 2: Wait, in 1981, was he even the coach?
15:53
Speaker 7: No.
15:54
Speaker 2: Was he even on the staff? No, it was Aiden Fry.
15:56
Speaker 4: Offensive lineman. Yeah, he was a part of the team. Oh,
15:59
Speaker 4: offensive line coach. Okay, there it was. Iowa Sam, of course,
16:02
Speaker 4: has the information. All line coach in 81.
16:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get to Iowa Sam in a second here
16:06
Speaker 1: because I know he's excited about Iowa. I was also
16:09
Speaker 1: crying as he walked off the field because Iowa might
16:11
Speaker 1: be in the playoff. But are you saying that he
16:14
Speaker 1: was proud of a game in which they kicked three
16:17
Speaker 1: field goals? He was on the offensive line and the
16:19
Speaker 1: offensive line was so bad they couldn't score a touchdown.
16:23
Speaker 5: That was better than what transpired on Saturday. Like slow down, Jenny.
16:27
Speaker 4: I know this is an amazing win for Iowa, but
16:30
Speaker 4: this didn't compare to what happened in 81.
16:32
Speaker 5: That's how I felt.
16:33
Speaker 2: Yes.
16:33
Speaker 8: He was a very, very young offensive line coach in 1981.
16:38
Speaker 5: When he first came to Iowa. We all were very young.
16:41
Speaker 5: You weren't even born, Sam.
16:42
Speaker 6: I wasn't.
16:43
Speaker 8: Another five years before I'd come around. But I certainly
16:45
Speaker 8: remember that one. Three field goals or whatever it was.
16:47
Speaker 8: Four field goals.
16:48
Speaker 2: Well, how do you remember it?
16:49
Speaker 7: I mean.
16:49
Speaker 2: I don't.
16:50
Speaker 5: No, I don't. And they had nine points.
16:53
Speaker 2: Nobody does.
16:53
Speaker 4: Except for him. Did you think field goals were two points?
16:56
Speaker 4: Because you said they maybe kicked four field goals.
16:58
Speaker 5: I don't know.
16:58
Speaker 2: Nine points.
16:59
Speaker 5: He referenced the score.
17:00
Speaker 2: Nine, seven.
17:01
Speaker 8: Right.
17:01
Speaker 5: Nine, seven.
17:01
Speaker 3: Right.
17:02
Speaker 5: Nine, seven. We love those kind of wins.
17:04
Speaker 9: Yes.
17:05
Speaker 2: Sam, put us there.
17:06
Speaker 1: Put us in your living room as Kirk Ferentz is
17:08
Speaker 1: walking off the field and he's emotional and he's crying
17:12
Speaker 1: because I now it wasn't the greatest victory. Dan just
17:15
Speaker 1: pointed out it was 81 with three field goals. but
17:18
Speaker 1: he was crying coming off the field. Iowa had just
17:20
Speaker 1: beaten Michigan. What comes around goes around. A lot of
17:23
Speaker 1: people happy that Michigan lost that game because they probably
17:26
Speaker 1: won a game they shouldn't have won in week one.
17:28
Speaker 2: But put us in the living room with.
17:29
Speaker 1: Iowa Sam as Kirk Ferentz is crying post-game.
17:34
Speaker 8: I mean, if, you know, my living room on Saturday
17:37
Speaker 8: was actually here at Fox Sports Radio. I was working,
17:40
Speaker 8: but I was pacing around watching that final drive, that
17:43
Speaker 8: 91-yard drive, and I'm just like, With a mixture of
17:47
Speaker 8: penalties and guys injured on the, you know, and crazy
17:49
Speaker 8: catches off of deflections and tip pass. I don't know
17:52
Speaker 8: how they, I don't know how they got it set
17:54
Speaker 8: up with two seconds left to take a shot at
17:55
Speaker 8: the end zone. I mean, I'm still kind of baffled
17:57
Speaker 8: by that, but I mean, I'll take it. It was
17:59
Speaker 8: just a complete fever dream. That entire fourth quarter was crazy.
18:03
Speaker 8: Was that the most emotional you've been as an Iowa fan?
18:06
Speaker 5: No, no, no. It was definitely one of their best finishes.
18:10
Speaker 8: Probably the last kind of finish they had was a
18:14
Speaker 8: Ricky Stanzi to Marvin McNutt in 2009.
18:15
Speaker 5: Okay, all right.
18:17
Speaker 8: Kirk Ferentz crying is like... We love to see that
18:21
Speaker 8: because that means that like, you know, you've done something.
18:24
Speaker 5: When he cries, everyone just eats it up quickly.
18:27
Speaker 2: Quickly.
18:27
Speaker 5: Here's what it sounded like.
18:28
Speaker 2: You come into the big house.
18:29
Speaker 3: You said you've had some good wins here, but nothing
18:32
Speaker 3: quite like this.
18:33
Speaker 2: How can this help.
18:33
Speaker 6: Propel a season?
18:35
Speaker 9: I go back to 81, actually three field goals, nine,
18:37
Speaker 9: seven win.
18:39
Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
18:43
Speaker 2: I played offensive line.
18:45
Speaker 5: We were so terrible.
18:47
Speaker 2: We couldn't score. And Chuck Long was our quarterback.
18:50
Speaker 5: It's like, bad question, Jenny Dell. You don't remember 81? Like, yeah, what's... Oh, man.
18:58
Speaker 2: We should all be crying. I mean, we really should.
19:01
Speaker 1: Seriously, because the Hawkeyes and their field goal kicker are
19:04
Speaker 1: headed to the playoffs.

19:55
Speaker 1: God bless football. We've talked college football. We've talked NFL football.
20:00
Speaker 1: It was a great football weekend. I want to talk
20:02
Speaker 1: basketball with you for just a second here. LeBron James
20:06
Speaker 1: held his first media session as a member of of
20:09
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia 76ers. Did you hear what he had to say, Taylor?
20:13
Speaker 9: Yeah, that he said he was going to join the
20:15
Speaker 9: Knicks if the Knicks didn't win a title. And then
20:17
Speaker 9: once they won the title, he was like, oh, I
20:18
Speaker 9: can't do that.
20:19
Speaker 2: One might say he Knicks the idea. How about that?
20:22
Speaker 9: Yeah, this guy has such a savior complex. Oh, I'm
20:25
Speaker 9: going to be the guy who comes in and save
20:26
Speaker 9: the Knicks. You came in and saved the Knicks.
20:29
Speaker 6: Right.
20:29
Speaker 9: Jalen Brunson, six foot one guard, undersized guard from Villanova.
20:34
Speaker 9: That's our next savior. That's who's going to get a
20:36
Speaker 9: statue outside the Mecca.
20:37
Speaker 1: Right. But had Brunson not saved the Knicks, are you
20:40
Speaker 1: intrigued at all by the idea that LeBron was finally
20:43
Speaker 1: thinking seriously about going to the New York Knicks?
20:46
Speaker 2: I mean, we want a title. So we have the
20:48
Speaker 2: last laugh and we don't need them. And I love that.
20:51
Speaker 1: That the Knicks who won the title, they decided, hey,
20:53
Speaker 1: you know what?
20:54
Speaker 2: I'm not going to recruit that guy. We don't need
20:56
Speaker 2: that guy.
20:57
Speaker 1: He's not coming here to tack on championships at the
20:59
Speaker 1: end of his career. But if they hadn't won that championship,
21:03
Speaker 1: you and I would be really, really excited because it
21:06
Speaker 1: seems like LeBron James would be a Knick today.
21:09
Speaker 9: So I still fall in the camp of like, I
21:12
Speaker 9: don't believe LeBron would have came to the Knicks. I
21:15
Speaker 9: think it's just such a convenient thing. to say that
21:18
Speaker 9: he would have just went to the Knicks if they
21:19
Speaker 9: didn't win a title.
21:20
Speaker 3: Right.
21:21
Speaker 9: The only reason why it's somewhat believable is because he's
21:24
Speaker 9: playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.
21:26
Speaker 7: Right.
21:26
Speaker 9: And there was like nobody who could have seen that
21:28
Speaker 9: coming at this point last year.
21:30
Speaker 1: So if he's willing to go to the 76ers, you
21:32
Speaker 1: have to imagine he'd be willing to go anywhere to
21:35
Speaker 1: try to win an NBA championship, right?
21:37
Speaker 9: Yeah, but like the pressure of winning in New York
21:40
Speaker 9: compared to the pressure of winning in Philadelphia, I think
21:43
Speaker 9: still in Philadelphia, he has pressure to win because of
21:45
Speaker 9: that team surrounding him. especially when you go out and
21:48
Speaker 9: get somebody like Jalen Brown.
21:50
Speaker 6: Right.
21:51
Speaker 9: But that's a local pressure. Like with the Knicks, he
21:54
Speaker 9: would have had national pressure to win. And I'm almost
21:57
Speaker 9: glad that he's with the 76ers right now, because there's
22:00
Speaker 9: some times where you forget that the Knicks are even
22:02
Speaker 9: the defending champions. And it kind of takes away some
22:05
Speaker 9: of that pressure that the Knicks are going to have
22:07
Speaker 9: trying to repeat as champions.
22:08
Speaker 1: So you're saying if he goes to the Knicks, they
22:11
Speaker 1: don't win a championship. He has the weight of the
22:13
Speaker 1: world on his shoulders because he is the missing piece.
22:16
Speaker 1: He is the guy. that now needs to deliver that
22:19
Speaker 1: championship to.
22:20
Speaker 2: The New York Knicks.
22:21
Speaker 1: And because he's in Philadelphia, he will not feel that weight,
22:25
Speaker 1: even though he is the missing piece to a team
22:27
Speaker 1: that should at least compete for an NBA championship.
22:31
Speaker 9: Listen, people are going to crush him.
22:34
Speaker 2: You mainly. Of course I am, yes.
22:37
Speaker 9: And that team in Philadelphia is a title contending team.
22:41
Speaker 9: I'm just glad he's not with the Knicks. It would
22:44
Speaker 9: have been a cool story, a storybook ending to LeBron's career,
22:48
Speaker 9: but I don't need the pomp and circumstance that comes
22:50
Speaker 9: with LeBron James and the circus that comes with the
22:52
Speaker 9: James game.
22:54
Speaker 1: There is no better way to end the day with
22:57
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance.
