  Speaker 1: Mel Kuyper Jr. going to join us in about 15 minutes. Taylor,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: put it on the poll. If you had $ 3. 9 billion,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: would you spend it on the Angels?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Also put this on the poll.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Do you believe a single word that comes out of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin's mouth?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: A single word.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Because I don't. And I love that he has become
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the person to root against in college football. It is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: no longer Dabo. It is now Lane Kiffin, and they
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: play each other this weekend.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: But enough of that. We have Mel Kiper Jr. coming up.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: We have Charles Hoff, the head coach at Memphis, coming
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: up as well. We have a celebrity prognosticator. I'm very
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: excited about this later on in the show. But we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: have to start here. Taylor's tears on a Tuesday. Taylor,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: tears on a Tuesday. Give them to me right now.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Let me get my college football music. So this is
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: going to be whether or not you could be a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: contender in the ACC this season. ACC football contenders. Taylor's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: tears on a Tuesday. So this is specific to the ACC,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the conference that nobody cares about. Yep.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, good.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Most people would say the third or fourth conference. Probably
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: people would lean more fourth conference, but. We still have
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: our moments.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: It would be the fourth conference. Everyone would lean that way.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Big 12 is ahead of us?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Dan Beyer is the Big 12 ahead of the ACC?
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: It's that Texas Tech money, Taylor.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyway. Your tears.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: So I have.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Eight tiers for the teams in the ACC. The first tier.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Wait, hold on a second. Dan Beyer is laughing, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I am too, over the fact. Dan, you're laughing at
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the same thing I am, right?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The idea that he has eight tiers with one conference
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that nobody cares about.
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you can have eight tiers for
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: all of college football.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Like, honestly. But we're going to do it just for
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the ACC.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: And actually, I counted wrong. It's nine tiers.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, nine.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: The first tier.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: A bonus tier.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: The bottom feeders.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Ah, the bottom feeders.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Loaded category because, as you know, the ACC has a
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: lot of bottom feeders.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Duke, Boston College, Stanford, Syracuse, and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Ah, the Deacs. So they have no chance is what
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you're saying.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Bottom feeders. Just filling out our schedules.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I figured that would be the only tier. I got
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you. No, no.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: By the way, Taylor is averaging just under two teams
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: per tier, according to the 17-team ACC. And we've already
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: got five off the board. There are 17 teams in
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: the ACC.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: There are 20 teams in the Big Ten.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: What are we doing?
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Our next tier. It's the garbage tier.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Ah, the garbage tier. How is this different from the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: first tier?
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: So the bottom feeders, you're just kind of existing in
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: this conference. You're kind of just leeching off the conference.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: The garbage tier, this team could have been good, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: I've seen enough at this point. You're garbage.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Okay. With some teams you haven't seen them play yet.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Well, that's a spoiler for who's in the garbage tier.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: All right. Garbage tier.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: NC State. NC state gets absolutely shellacked against Virginia this
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: past weekend to open up ACC play. If NC state's
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: roster looks like they paid their quarterback and figured the
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: rest would work itself out. It's because that's exactly what
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: they did with CJ Bailey.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: So they're not a quarterback away. They're a rest of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the team away.
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: I thought they're good players went to Brazil. I thought
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: that was the excuse on Saturday.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: I did see some fans that booked a trip to,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: to that NC State Virginia game when it was supposed
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: to be in Brazil. And then they moved the game,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: and then all the people that had flights were like, well,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: what am I supposed to do now? And they just
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: took a trip to Rio, which was probably better than
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: if you went to Charlottesville and watched that game, actually.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I would say if you end up in Rio and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: then realize there's no game, that's a bonus.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It's a win.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: It's a good trade. You're in Rio.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: It's their only win of the season.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. All right. You have another
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: tier or are we done with this tier?
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: NC State's the only team in garbage tier.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Okay. And you have nine tiers. So there's seven tiers
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to go.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Next tier.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: I like your quarterback and that's about it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, that would be.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: So I don't really like CJ Bailey from NC State.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: That's why they didn't fit in this tier. And NC
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: State's more garbage.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: The only team and I like your quarterback and that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: about it. The Cal Bears, the Cal Golden Bears, JKS.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Just because as an update anchor, Dan, I'm afraid to
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: say JKS's actual name from Cal.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: You should. We all are.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Wait, can you say it, Dan?
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: No, I can't.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: You're terrified of it, yes.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: I was watching Stanford Hawaii, and for some reason, it
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: was the only name Jorge Sedano knew, and he was
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: flexing left and right. He said JKS's name. So if
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: I try to give it my best shot, Jaren Kiwa Sagapolitelli.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's why you don't do it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Sedano said this name 20 times in the broadcast.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: When you have a difficult name, you trot it out.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: He wasn't even playing in the game. No, but Dan,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: this is a rule of radio.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: When you have a difficult name and you can pronounce
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it and no one else can, you say it as
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: often as you can.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: If you can make it a mini song, it really
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: works for you. And then you say it as much
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: as you can.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Next tier.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Damn, what is the name that's... In fact, if you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: could make a top five list, not today, but at
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: some point, of the top five names that terrify you.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Well, this is one of them. I told you Jerry
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: Rice is just because of the double R's. I'll tell you,
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: I'm focused on Irina Sabalenka right now. That is never
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: going to mess me up ever again. But you can't
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: think too much about it. You just got to let
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: it fly.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: You know that, right?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Next tier.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: The scrappy tier.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Ah, the scrappy tier.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Two teams here. The Pitt Panthers.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: And Georgia Tech. Because these are two teams that can
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: have all the roster turnover in the world, and they're
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: still somehow the same exact team every year.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Good for one good upset every season.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I like that. Georgia Tech.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Who do they play opening week here? Georgia Tech always
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: gets off to these 3-0, 4-0 starts. They're in the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: top 15 of the country, and they do nothing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: You know. And I have their coach on every year
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: because I get excited.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: We're placing Haynes King this year. Got a transfer quarterback
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: from Florida.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: That's what I like about the transfer portal.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Thursday, it's Colorado, Georgia Tech.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: At Georgia Tech, right?
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Deion Sanders.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: That's a win for Georgia Tech.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: That's how he fools us.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I'm serious.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It's Coach Key, whatever his name is.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: The next tier. The next tier is, hold on a second.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Virginia Tech.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: With James Franklin.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: He brings a transfer quarterback from Penn State, Ethan Grunkemeier,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: and the other team in, hold on a second, Tier.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: The North Carolina Tar Heels.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Hold on a second.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Hold on a second.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hold on a second. Yeah, number one team in
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: the country.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: They lead the league in hold on a second.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And they're not going to lose this week. They have
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: a bye week.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Hold on a sec. Did Belichick figure this college thing out?
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: I think he might have.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yep, yep, with Bobby Petrino.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Dan Byer, you know Bobby Petrino.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And if you know Bobby Petrino, what you know is
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he has his eyes on every other head coaching job
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in America.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Very true. And other things. He also has his eye
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: on other things.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: The next tier.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: How many tiers are left?
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: One, two, three, four tiers.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: So we have four tiers to go. Go ahead.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Mel Kiper Jr. Going to join us coming up after
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Taylor's done with his tears.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Next tier is I fully lost all my trust. And
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: there's two teams here.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: You mentioned one of the coaches earlier.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Clemson yeah until until I see Dabo actually utilize and
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: maximize his team's roster with NIL and the transfer portal
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: I won't believe it until I see it and then
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: the other team and I've lost all trust Florida State.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: All right I mean you said a win's a win
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: but Florida State's win was not a win over the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: weekend not a win.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: Yes I also feel like hold on a sec is
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: a higher tier than fully lost my trust.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Good point, actually.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: What I'm finding is nine games within his tiers.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Is there going to be a tier with no team?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm curious about.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Not yet.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Who was this? It was Clemson, right?
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: This is the first time ever because he's playing LSU
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and Lane Kiffin and Dabo came out and said, hey,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: getting professional kids and bringing them back to college is despicable.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: But this is the first time I will find myself
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: rooting for Dabo Sweeney over the weekend because I can't
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: stand Lane Kivitt.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Anyway, go ahead.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to combine these next two tiers, actually,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: because they are a bit similar.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: My dark horse tier, it's the Virginia Cavaliers. It's the
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: roster with the most career snaps, starts, and games played
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: in all of college football this season. I don't really
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: trust Bo Perbula in passing situations. but when he runs
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: the ball, he's slim Tebow out there. And then the
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: contender tier, it's SMU, SMU. made the playoffs in 2024.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: They still have that same quarterback, Kevin Jennings. And then Louisville.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Louisville has the best running back duo in the conference,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Kajon and Isaac Brown. I call them UPS because if
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: you're wondering what Brown can do for you, they can
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: run the ball.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I wasn't wondering that. Is that it for the tiers?
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: One more tier.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: And it's the biggest tier. Now or never tier. The
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Miami Hurricanes. People are looking at this ACC and saying,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: this conference stinks. This is a down year for the ACC. Well,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: just to remind everybody, Miami has never won this conference.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: No, but they did make it to a national championship game.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: A year ago.

  Speaker 1: Our thanks to Mel Kuyper for joining us in hour
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: number one. Charles Huff, the head football coach at Memphis,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: going to join us in about 20 minutes. But Taylor
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: keeps walking around here all day today. He's watching the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: highlight of Colton Couser's catch. He's talking about Couser's catch.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: He won't shut up about Couser's catch.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: And it was a great catch. And it was a
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: great game. The Red Sox, was it the Red Sox? Yes, right?
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Against the Rockies.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Rockies, excuse me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Close enough. They played once in a World Series against
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: each other.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: It's football season. But it looked like a walk-off, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Couser said otherwise. But anyway, Taylor, why haven't you stopped
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: telling me about this catch? I saw it with my
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: own eyes.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: That Colton Couser catch, it made me say, holy Couser.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: This is why.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, that catch.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Straight out of a movie.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Are you doing stand-up?
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, the physics to catch that?
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Probably ought to do calculus.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: His name's Colton Couser.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: People comparing it to the Joe Adele catch from earlier
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: this year? Didn't give me deja vu.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Couser.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: If you don't think it was the catch of the year...
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: I got real ground beef with you.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: Yes, Dan.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Well, he needs his microphone on. It's a key part
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: of the job.
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: Me and the Baltimore Orioles needed some bovine intervention.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, what?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? You deserved it. No, you deserved it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Your mic wasn't on. It was late.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: The timing was off, and it was a bad joke.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, that Colton Cowher catch, legendary. Utterly ridiculous.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: That's all I got.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Moo!
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: What?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, how does moo get that sound? It's ridiculous.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: We will get to the angels. Congratulations, Taylor. That was
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: ridiculously bad.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Stand-up comedian about a singular topic, Colton Gowser.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I would have thrown so many tomatoes at you.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Taylor's conspiracy theory here on the Angels
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: sale in just a second. For those of you who
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: don't know, and by the way, Charles Huff is going
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to join us, head coach of Memphis, in about 15 minutes.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So this is the only segment we have to take
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: phone calls, 877-99 on Fox.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: That is 877-99 on Fox.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know, Taylor walked on
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to the University of North Carolina's football team. He went
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: there for track. Um, he walked onto the football team.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He's very proud of it. We're very proud of him. Uh,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: but Taylor, I have a question for you because Lane Kiffin, who, again,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I said this earlier, I don't believe a single word
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that comes out of that man's mouth. If I, you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: passed him on the street and he said hi to me, I.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Would think he's lying.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: If he, if he told you it was sunny, you'd
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: bring an umbrella just in case.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: If he says it's sunny, that means it's pouring outside.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And if he says it's pouring outside, it's a beautiful
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: sunny day. That's Lane Kiffin. And when he left Mississippi
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and decided to go to LSU, he talked about a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: lot of locker room conversations that he and the players had.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And then the players came out afterwards and they were like, hey,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I never said that. And that never happened.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Because Lane Kiffin, when he tells you it's sunny out,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it's pouring rain. And when he tells you it's pouring rain,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it's beautiful blue skies.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Pouring lane.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Why do you get it all the time, the rim shot?
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Moo!
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: And so now recently at LSU, Lane yesterday said that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: he had a team meeting and he talked to his
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: team about the idea of getting players to who didn't
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: make their NFL team, who have declared for the NFL already,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and bringing them to LSU, even though the SEC is
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: saying no, which.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Is a joke.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: All of it is a joke.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Taylor, I am wondering here, because I don't believe Lane Kiffin,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: when he comes out and says, yeah, every single player
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: in that locker room was okay with the idea of
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: me going to get professional athletes and bringing them to LSU.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: What locker room What kid wants more competition? So you're
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: sitting there every day. You're in practice. You're sweating.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: You're grinding. You think you're going to get some reps.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: You think you're going to get some playing time.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And your coach walks in and says, hey, how do
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you feel about the idea of me bringing in professional
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: athletes who are better at their jobs than you are?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm just going to insert them right into the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: starting lineup. And the reason I'm asking Taylor this is
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: because he played on a college football team, a Division
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I college football team, the University of North Carolina. And
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: so I ask you, if your coach walked into the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: locker room and said, I'm going to bring in other players,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: better players, create more competition, less playing time for you,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: would you be okay with that?
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: The thing that I do believe is that when Lane
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Kiffin left that meeting, Lane Kiffin heard the answer that
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: he wanted.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: But I don't believe that players went in and said, yes,
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: recruit these Greek gods coming from the NFL that led
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: the preseason in sacks who have eventually been waived. Bring
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: them to now be our edge rushers and generate more pressure,
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: pressure that I probably wouldn't be able to. But I
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: do think that college coaches... They go into meetings knowing
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: the answer that they want. Like they're, they're going to
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: go in with their questions. Well, what's the point of
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: the meeting? That's the thing. That's, that's, you have to
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: present it like it's a democracy. It's not college football.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: College football is very much not a democracy, but you
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: have to give the college kids the illusion that they
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: do have some say in it. But Lane Kiffin's knowing
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: that if he goes in that meeting and he says,
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Hey guys, we're thinking about bringing in NFL players. What
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: do you think? Whatever they say, he's leaving that meeting saying,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I'm getting the NFL players because that's what's going to
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: make us better.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So you're saying all the players in that locker room,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: they were like, no, we're not okay with this. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: he walked out saying, yeah, they're all okay with it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: He walks out and he goes, wow, that meeting went
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: really well.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he heard what he wanted to hear.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Yes. One time at North Carolina, we had not a
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: similar situation, but comparable. There was a very bad weather
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: in 2016, the Mitch Trubisky year. when North Carolina was
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: an ACC favorite to win the ACC. We had Mitch Trubisky,
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Matt Collins at receiver, Ryan Switzer at receiver. We were
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: a team that had to throw the ball. And we
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: were supposed to get a hurricane, and we were playing
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Virginia Tech, who Virginia Tech is like a smash mouth.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: It was Justin Fuente coming over from Memphis. And our
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: coach comes and says, hey, our athletic director has come
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: to us. He's giving us the option to move the game.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: What do you guys think? And we're saying, yes, we
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: cannot play in Kenan Stadium with a Cat 4 hurricane
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: coming when we need Mitch Trubisky to throw for 400
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: yards to win this game. And we said, yes, we'd
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: like to move the game to a neutral site. We'll
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: give up the home field advantage. And the coach just goes, well,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: I told the AD we're already playing this game in
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Chapel Hill.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: What's the point? Yes, Dan, I'm sorry.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: I think it's such a different era, though. If we
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: were to talk about this 10 years ago with players
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: already not being paid or compensated, we would have a
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: different thought process to this.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: There would be different transfer rules at that time.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: But now the only way I think that some of
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: these players that are currently on LSU that may lose
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: playing time, the only reason I think that they would
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: get screwed is is because of playing time and because
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: they can't transfer somewhere else, but they probably went to
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: LSU because they were making more money than they could
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: get it anywhere else. So it's tough for me to
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: sit there and be like, wow, this is a really
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: tough break for you because they're bringing in professionals. And
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: I think a decent portion of those players are, have
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: already gotten their money. It's different when you're maybe just
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: going there on a scholarship, but they probably have NIL
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: deals on why they wanted to go to LSU and
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: LSU gave them this amount of money. So it's difficult
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: for me to feel bad for anybody else on that team,
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: even if they're bringing in pros.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: But even with the money, I understand what it is
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: you're saying.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: The next most important thing, and maybe for some it
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is the most important thing, is playing time, is being developed,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: is having a shot of making it to the NFL.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And this is, I guess, minimizing your chances of doing
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that because you're not.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, you're getting paid, but you're not getting.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: The reps and the playing time that you thought you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: were going to get because he's bringing in players that
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: he thinks is better.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: And. Go ahead.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: And along those lines, to your point, they aren't able
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: to transfer now.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: So that's why you're.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Kind of screwed.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Right, they missed the portal window. Yes, exactly.
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: Those players coming in, it's fine for them, which is
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: part of the point of contention. That would be the
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: only reason that I think that you could feel bad
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: for them, but I just don't have a lot of
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: sympathy for what it is now turning into because I
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: just don't think it's the college days that Taylor played
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: in 10 years ago.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: It's not even close to that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: So I just, it's tough for me to feel bad
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: for anybody who's probably already making six figures and Maybe
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: then they'll just transfer next year, Stu.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Who knows?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: No, Dan, that's the next lawsuit. The next lawsuit is, well, no,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I went to LSU to play.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, I got paid. I wanted to play.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And then he started bringing in professional players. And so
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: now I want my college career extended. Like, it's never
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: going to end. None of this is never going to end.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, college football, for the most part, is being
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: played in a courtroom.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I'm going to back Lane Kiffin until the cows come home.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I don't mind Lane Kiffin trying to improve his roster.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: What I do mind is that Lane Kiffin comes out
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and tries to give you something different than it actually is.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: He tries to paint a different picture than what's actually happening.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin doesn't care about those kids. I'm saying it
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: right now. He doesn't care about the kids at Mississippi.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: He doesn't care about the kids at LSU. Lane Kiffin
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: cares about Lane Kiffin, and that's it.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Period. End of discussion. He does not care about them.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: You seem very upset about this. I think you just
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: have to calm down. Don't have a cow.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Moo!
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Hi. Damn you!
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I agree with Stu on this.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: When Dan Lanning came out and spoke out against this,
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: I think it's because Dan Lanning can't do what Lane
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: Kiffin is doing.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Dan Lanning at Oregon.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Morally, you mean.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: And like with the chemistry of his team. Also, if
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: this happens in year four of Lane Kiffin's time at LSU,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: then at some point, I think there's going to be,
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: you know, some measure of distrust where you're just like, okay,
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: I'm not necessarily sure. Are my checks cashing? Is everything right?
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: But they're still trying to fill out a new, relatively
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: new team at LSU. So it gives Kiffin a little
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: bit of an, you know, leeway and escape room to
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: get away with this stuff. If you're Dan Lanning and
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: trying to build this championship team and you got to
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: you know, returning quarterback and Dante Moore, like it's probably
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: not good for team chemistry to do something like this. And,
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: but I think like Kiffin for whatever reason can. So
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: I don't, I don't think you're far off on your
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: comments at all.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: No, we can just do it and shut up and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: stop telling me about team meetings with a player supported you.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Just do it. Just do what it is.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You're doing and stop trying to convince me you're doing
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: something else. that the kids are okay with it, that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you're including them in the decision. What if he walked
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: into that locker room and every single kid on the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: LSU team said, you know what, coach? I'm not okay
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: with this. Do you think Lane would still go get
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: those players?
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Yes. All of it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Like crying, sobbing.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: No way.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I came here to play. I didn't come here for
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: you to.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Go get professional athletes to play instead of me.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: No.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: You have this turning into a scene from Rudy where
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: they're all just putting their jerseys down and saying, we're
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: not playing. If Jack Pyburn comes to be our new
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: edge rusher.
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Just the pros are playing. It would be a cattle call.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Boo! You guys have this playing out. It's almost the
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: opposite of the movie with Keanu Reeves, The Replacements, where
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: the replacements are not scab players. The replacements are just
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: NFL players to now replace the college guys.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, NFL players who, yes, who have already declared for
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the NFL draft and maybe not good enough to make
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: their team.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Like, that'd be great. I'm good with it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: But just stop trying to pretend and sell me that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you're doing something morally correct.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: You're not. You are not.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: You asked kids to come to LSU, and now you're
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: trying to replace them with players that are better, and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: they don't have the option to leave.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: Period.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: End of discussion.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: But Kiffin's going to milk this.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Of course he is.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Proud of yourself?
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Back to back. They're hard to come by. Unless you're Taylor.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Taylor gets them nonstop.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Even for bad jokes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I'm really milking this.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: That was my joke.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Is there a.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I missed that one.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Five seconds ago. He doesn't even get.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Booed for that.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: He stole my joke that I said five seconds ago
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: and he.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Gets a rim shot. Yes, yes.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Lane Kiffin.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: What's your conspiracy here before we get to Charles Huff,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the head coach of the Memphis Tigers? I love this guy.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I spoke to him right after. When he was at Marshall,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: they beat Notre Dame. We had him on the next day.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: He's fantastic. I can't wait to talk to him. What
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is this conspiracy with you about the sale of the Angels?
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: So the recent sale of the Lakers has prompted speculation
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: to think that the Dodgers could be next. And Otani
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: has a key man clause in his contract with the Dodgers,
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: which allows him to terminate his contract if certain people
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: are no longer involved with the organization. In Otani's case,
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: it applies specifically to Walter, who owns them, and Andrew Friedman,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: the president of baseball operations. I think Shohei Otani... He
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: comes out and he says, I made the Kevin Durant mistake.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: I'm the clear best player in baseball. I went to
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: a team that has just kept adding and adding, most
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: recently getting back-to-back AL Cy Young Award winner Tarek Skubal
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: at the deadline. And by building the super team led
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: by Otani, it diminishes his accomplishments where the Dodgers are
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: overwhelming favorites to win the World Series. They broke baseball.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: You have people now rooting for the strike next year.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: The reports are he's unlikely to opt out if Walter
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: sells his Dodger stakes do. But if Otani decides he
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: wants out, there hasn't been an obvious landing spot for
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: him until now. Because what if that new team is
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: his old team? The Angels have had terrible ownership with
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Artie Moreno. Otani comes home to right a wrong. Six
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: years with the Angels. Zero playoff wins. Four-time MVP. Every
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Oh, Tony time.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Where's his rim shot?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to utter another word until I hear
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: a rim shot. Thank you, Dan.

• 27:33
  Speaker 6: Eastern, 12 p.m.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Pacific.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Bob Ryan's tweets in a second. Mike
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: EA helped his son out with a fantasy draft. We
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: have Charles Huff coming up. Now we're number two. But Taylor,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: are you reeling?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I'm confused. I think it's just age.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Where Mel Kiper just started calling you Lance halfway through
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: that interview.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: It was just a strange thing.
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: You know you're Lance from now on, right? Of course.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Well, you are. But it was odd, right? Because he
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: started off, he knows it's Taylor. He's spoken to Taylor before.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: But it's odd.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: As you get older, this stuff happens where he originally
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: thought he has another producer somewhere in his life named Lance.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: And he kept referring to Taylor as Lance, even though
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: he knew he was talking to Taylor.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: It's old age. That's all it is. I love you, Mo.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Taylor, I'm looking at you.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: You look like a Lance.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Lance Vipolis.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: You could totally be a Lance.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: My parents actually, my mom actually wanted to name me Dimitri.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: My dad used his veto on that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: He had a veto.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Lance Dimitri Bipolis. I like it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: My life would have been hell if my name was Dimitri.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Wait a second.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Wait a second.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Your dad had a veto on your name? So your
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: mom wanted to name you Dimitri and your dad said no?
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: Do you guys know anybody with the name Dimitri? Besides
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Demetri Young? I'm Greek. Demetri Young from the 2000s on
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: the Detroit Tigers?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I think Demetri Hill, University of Florida, probably won a
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: national championship.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I believe his nickname was the Meat Hook.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: I'm not even joking.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Like, look it up. That's the only Dimitri I know.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But I'm just more fascinated with the idea that your
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: dad was able to veto the name your mom wanted
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to give you.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I think my dad pushed back against it, and then
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: my mom thought about the name and was like, yeah,
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: that's kind of a dumb name. No offense to any
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: Dimitris out there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: That's crazy, Lancelot.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Look up Dimitri Hill and tell me how wrong I was.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Because I have a feeling I was wrong. I used
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: to do a thing where Bob Ross— on Twitter is
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: fascinating because he'll send out tweets, but you have no
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: idea what he means exactly. And I love Bob and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: he's fantastic. And so we would have Bob on to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: explain his tweets. And I am told here that Bob
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Ryan had some tweets over the weekend.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: About college football. That is not Bob's wheelhouse. Bob's Wheelhouse
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: is busted. It is the Celtics.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: It's Bill Russell and Larry Bird specifically and Ted Williams
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: and Carl Yastrzemski.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: That's his wheelhouse.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: College football tweets is not something that Bob Ryan does.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Taylor, what happened here?
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Well, just to be clear, these were Bob Ryan's tweets
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: on a college football weekend. They're not about college football.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: So he did stay out of his lane.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: When you hear these tweets, there's never been a more
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Bob Ryan lane.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: But it's Friday night. I'm getting ready to go to
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: sleep and get ready for a big week zero where
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: North Carolina is playing. And I get a tweet notification
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: from Bob Ryan at 839 on Friday night. Derek Jeter
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: did not dive into the stands to catch a ball.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: He's right.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: He made a nice running catch in the playing field
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: and his momentum carried him into the stands. Nice play,
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: but not heroic.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Things you think about on a Friday night headed into
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a big college football weekend. That's what Bob thinks about.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I know Bob, he's my friend and he thinks about
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: it all the time and he's right.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: So Bob Ryan did not send a follow-up tweet to that,
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: but the next day at 5 48 PM, he tweeted again, right?
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: jeter was daringly reckless and he made a great play
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: he risked injury he should be commended but he caught
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: the ball in foul territory and kept on going he
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: did not dive in the stands almost 24 hours apart
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: from each other.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Those two tweets so he's still thinking about it um
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that i'm sitting here telling
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you i know bob he's a friend he's always thinking
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: about that play he is i.
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: I have Bob in a cold sweat waking up at
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: 2 a.m.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Still thinking about it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: He doesn't like us applying the heroics to Derek Jeter,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the unnecessary heroics.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: He gets enough of it. Did he catch the ball
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: in play, guys? You're Yankee fans.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Did he?
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: You've seen the play.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: He sold it a bit too much, right? That dive
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: into the stands.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: No way he makes that catch and doesn't wind up
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: in the stands. Just because he didn't make the catch
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: in the stands doesn't mean he could have made the
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: catch without going.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: Into the stands.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Taylor, put it on the polling. I still got 790
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: on X. Did Jeter have enough room to pull up?
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Stu, you should send out a tweet that says, that
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: was not a pass interference call. That was a terrible
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: job by Terry Porter. He stole a national championship from
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: the Miami Hurricanes.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Right, but I don't care enough about the Hurricanes. Bob
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: cares very dearly about what it is he's tweeting about.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: If you could think of something that I do care about,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and there's not much, and put together a Twitter.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: String, like Bob Ryan did, feel free to do so.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: It has to be older than 20 years because that
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Derek Jeter play was July 1st, 2004. Okay.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of some moments in my sports
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: history where I'm still upset about it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe something with Bobby Valentine.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Going with a dark night, putting him in relief. He
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: kept him in too long. He wrecked his career. I'll
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: think about it for you, Taylor.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: That was ball one to Carlos Beltran. Yeah.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Did Bob have any further tweets? Or was he done
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: after the two tweets separated by 24 hours?
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: That was it from that. And then the next tweet
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: was just him wishing Robert Parrish a happy birthday.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: The chief.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: Yes. What else do you do if you're Bob Ryan?
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: I'm sitting here.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you guys, this is all he cares about.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: That's his wheelhouse.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: He would never tweet about college football.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: You should just tweet, what a hilarious disguise Bobby Valentine
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: did in that Mets dugout.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Bobby Orr, he'll tweet about him all day. Italian restaurants
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: in Boston, he'll tweet about him all day. Robert Parrish,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: all day. Dennis Johnson, all day.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Hondo- All day. And Freddie Lynn, his favorite baseball player
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: of all time. And Jim Rice. And that's what he does.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: And Butch Hobson. How about that? Anyway, that's Bob Ryan
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: for you. What, did I just rattle off all those
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Red Sox?
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Well, that you're not wrong on any of them.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Did you look up Demetri Hill?
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was a Florida Gators basketball player.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Boom, meat hook.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I didn't look at the nickname.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, the nickname.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Uh, Mikey, a, it is a fantasy season here. Everyone's
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: getting ready for their fantasy draft.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Mine is way too late. It's like September 9th or
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: I don't like it. That's the first day of the season.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I know it's bad. I'm not happy about it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Uh, but anyway, your kid had one, uh, and there
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: was nothing worse than trying to help your kid with anything.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Uh, so what happened here, Mikey?
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: I've realized that I might need to seek therapy or
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: just at least look myself in the mirror because my kid,
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: like his baseball team is like, Hey, let's let them
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: get together and have a fantasy football league together.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: My kid's never played fantasy.
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: He doesn't even watch the NFL that much, but he's like, yeah,
• 34:48
  Speaker 10: I would love to do it with my friends. We
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: sit down to do the draft and I'm like, Hey,
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: I'm not doing this for you. This is your team.
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: You're going to do it. I'm just going to be,
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: if you have any questions, I'm here to help.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: You're a soundboard. You can bounce some things off of me, right?
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: Sure. If you want to be like, Hey, what's the
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: difference with this guy and this guy, or who do
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: I take here? Cause he's never played.
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: Fantasy that lasted two rounds. That lasted two rounds before
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: I literally pushed him aside and was like, get out
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: of the way. You are doing this wrong.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Right. You are not.
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: No, no, we are not taking Garrett Wilson in the
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: second round. He doesn't belong there.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, but it's his draft. Like, and you said you
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with it. You're a sounding board.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: So let the kid draft. Do we want to draft?
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't listen. You're, you're making a lot
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: of sense to me right now in the moment. This
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: guy wasn't here. There was no logic to be had
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: in talking to me.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: All I know is he had to pick a better
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: team and I wasn't going to have my son taking
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: Garrett Wilson in the second round.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: It's embarrassing. When did he take, it was the second
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: round pick Garrett Wilson.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: Wait.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: So he ended up taking them. Like you couldn't get
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: to the computer quick enough to reverse the transaction. So
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: he was stuck with Garrett Wilson.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: And then you took over.
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: The AI for the league gave him like a D
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: grade on his draft.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: And I was just like, no, no, no, no, no.
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: No son of mine is going to walk away with
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: the AI D grade. No, that's not get out of
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: the way.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: So daddy, so daddy came in to clean it up
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and try to get him an a what happened?
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: You just took over the draft and kick the kid out.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And you know what?
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: I wasn't the only one because I know none of
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: these 10 year olds knew that Marshawn Lloyd was taking
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: over for Josh Jacobs two hours before that news broke.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: Okay. I see what you did, Sean. I know what
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: you did, Sean. You took over your kid's draft, even
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: though you pretend you didn't.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: I think this was just the dad's draft.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was disguised as the kid's draft.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: By round three, it might've been.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: And all of a sudden Mikey's in his 1000 fantasy league. Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Our thanks to Mel Kuyper Jr. for joining us in
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: hour number one. Thanks to Charles Huff as well. The
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: invitation is still open. Me, Mikey A., and Lance can
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: go to a game, a Memphis game, and I get
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: to stand on the sidelines and call a play.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Do you have a game targeted, Taylor? Do we have
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, I believe, right? They have a
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Thursday night game?
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, ECU.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: There are certain things that from this show you really
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: hope don't stick. And for me, I hope Lance doesn't stick.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Well, it's going to. Whatever, Lance.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Mikey A.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: we used to do something way back when, when Dan
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and I were doing the show together, a segment called
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Celebrity Prognosticator. And a different celebrity would come on every week,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and if they had a winning week, they would continue on.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I think Chris Jericho was the record holder. He was
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: on for like 14 consecutive weeks, okay?
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: It was amazing. He just needed to have a winning week.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: So I believe Lance has something cut from the same vein.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain what it is, but I believe it's
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: a similar idea to what we did, the Celebrity Prognosticator.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: What are you doing? What are you putting together here, Lance?
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Go ahead.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so by Tuesday this time, it's time to close
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: the book on week zero and look ahead to week
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: one in college football. So what better way to look
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: ahead than get a celebrity to come on to the
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: show and cook up a nice little parlay.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: But you want to stay in week zero, right? It's
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: never felt better as a Carolina football fan.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: You don't want to move on to week one.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Well, we're off this week.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: And then we have, because we're coming back from Ireland,
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: bye week for the travel, and then East Tennessee State.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: We're 1-0 this week. We've got to just keep our
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: head down and get back to work.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Well, isn't that a perk, though? I mean, you get
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: to be 1-0 for two weeks. That's one of the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: perks of playing in Dublin.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: It's a massive perk to know that North Carolina can't
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: ruin my weekend this weekend.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: All right, so what do you have set up for
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: us here?
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: So this is going to be the first edition of
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: our celebrity guest picker parlay.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: It's time for our celebrity guest picker parlay to start
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: us out in week one. We've got a legend making
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: the picks. He's a Heisman Trophy winner, a national championship
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: winning coach, a college football hall of famer, and nobody
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: has ever pulled off a visor quite like him. The
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: head ball coach himself, Steve Spurrier.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: This is the guest picker for the week from Stu
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: Gotts and Company. All right, first game, Clemson at LSU.
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: Taking LSU because they're at home. Baylor versus Auburn. Auburn's
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: closer to it. I'm going to take Auburn. Louisville versus
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: Ole Miss.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Game's in Nashville. That's going to be, you know, I'm
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: going to go with Ole Miss, SEC game. SMU at FSU.
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: I think I got to go with SMU. They got
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: a good team, I think, this year.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: All right, that's my picks.
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: This is Steve Spurrier, former Gator head ball coach, and
• 39:55

• 41:56
  Speaker 1: say anything nice about him.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: What was your question, Mikey? I forget.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: It was what's better the way he says company or
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: the way Nick Saban says program.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow. Hmm.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love Spurrier. Um, I'm torn here. You
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: should throw in or the way Mel says, Lance.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: Until Nick Saban wants to come on this show and
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: be our celebrity guest parlay picker, I'm signing with Spurrier
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: every time, the old ball coach.
• 42:27

• 42:29
  Speaker 3: with that?
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm good with that. Company.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Now, does Spurrier know you did four games? He could
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: go two and two. But does he know if he
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: has a winning week, he has to come back next
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: week and do it again?
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: Well, the problem with this is I only got Spurrier
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: for this week. I cashed in a once-in-a-lifetime favor to
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: get the all boat. Leave all of that in there.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: What did you say, Lance?
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: The old ball coach, Lance, is what you were trying
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: to say. You called in a favor to Spurrier. Why
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: didn't you just ask me for his number?
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: That mistake's going to keep me up later.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: For weeks.
